John 5
1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na feti moko ya Bayuda.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
Nzokande, kuna na Yelusalemi, pene ya Ekuke ya Bameme, ezalaki na liziba moko oyo, na lokota ya Arami, bazalaki kobenga « Betesida. » Liziba yango ezalaki na baveranda mitano zingazinga na yango.
3 In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.
Babeli mingi bazalaki kolala na baveranda yango: bakufi miso, bato oyo batambolaka tengu-tengu mpe bato oyo bakufa makolo. [Bazalaki kozela ete mayi eningana,
pamba te anjelu moko na Nkolo azalaki koya tango na tango na liziba yango mpo na koningisa mayi. Soki mayi eningani, moto oyo azalaki kokita moto ya liboso kati na liziba azalaki kobika ata soki pasi na ye ezali ndenge nini.]
5 And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
Ezalaki wana na moto moko oyo awumelaki na bokono mibu tuku misato na mwambe.
6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?
Lokola Yesu amonaki ye alala na mabele mpe ayokaki ete awumeli mikolo ebele na pasi yango, atunaki ye: — Olingi kobika?
7 The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
Mobeli azongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, nazali na moto te mpo na kokitisa ngai kati na liziba soki mayi eningani. Wana nabundanaka mpo na kokita na mayi, moto mosusu akitaka liboso na ngai.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Telema, kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola.
9 And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
Kaka na tango yango, moto yango abikaki; akamataki etoko na ye mpe akomaki kotambola. Nzokande likambo yango esalemaki na mokolo ya Saba.
10 So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
Boye, bakambi ya Bayuda balobaki na moto oyo abikisamaki: — Lelo ezali mokolo ya Saba; ozali na ndingisa te ya komema etoko oyo.
11 But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Azongiselaki bango: — Moto oyo abikisi ngai alobi na ngai: « Kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola. »
12 They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk?
Batunaki ye lisusu: — Nani alobi na yo bongo?
13 But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
Kasi moto oyo abikaki ayebaki te soki moto oyo abikisaki ye azali nani, pamba te Yesu alimwaki kati na ebele ya bato oyo bazalaki wana.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.
Sima na mwa tango, Yesu amonaki, kati na lopango ya Tempelo, moto oyo abikaki. Alobaki na ye: — Tala, omoni ndenge okomi sik’oyo nzoto kolongono. Kosala lisusu masumu te, noki te likambo moko ya mabe koleka ekomela yo.
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.
Moto yango akendeki koyebisa bakambi ya Bayuda ete ezali Yesu nde abikisaki ye.
16 And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
Lokola Yesu azalaki kosala makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki kofunda Ye.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.
Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: « Tata na Ngai azali kosala kino sik’oyo, Ngai mpe nazali kosala. »
18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Mpo na yango, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki koluka nzela ya koboma Ye; pamba te azalaki kotosa te mokolo ya Saba, azalaki koloba ete Nzambe azali Tata na Ye, mpe Ye akokani na Nzambe.
19 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.
Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: Mwana akoki kosala eloko moko te na ndenge na Ye moko, kasi azali kosala kaka makambo oyo azali komona Tata na Ye kosala; pamba te makambo nyonso oyo Tata asalaka, yango mpe Mwana asalaka.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may marvel.
Boye lokola Tata alingaka Mwana, yango wana alakisaka Ye makambo nyonso oyo Ye moko Tata asalaka; kutu, akolakisa Ye lisusu kosala makambo minene koleka oyo bosili komona kino sik’oyo, mpo ete bokamwa.
21 For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will.
Ndenge kaka Tata asekwisaka bakufi mpe apesaka bango bomoi, ndenge wana mpe Mwana apesaka bomoi na moto oyo Ye alingi.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;
Lisusu, Tata asambisaka bato te; apesa bokonzi ya kosambisa bato na maboko ya Mwana,
23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him.
mpo ete bato nyonso bakumisa Mwana ndenge bakumisaka Tata. Moto oyo akumisaka Mwana te akumisaka mpe Tata te oyo atindaki Mwana.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo azali koyoka maloba na Ngai mpe azali kondima Ye oyo atindaki Ngai, azali na bomoi ya seko mpe akosambisama te, kasi asili kolongwa na kufa mpe akomi na bomoi. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.
Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: tango ezali koya mpe esili kokoka oyo bakufi bakoyoka mongongo ya Mwana na Nzambe, mpe ba-oyo bakoyoka yango bakozala na bomoi;
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
pamba te lokola Tata azali etima ya bomoi, yango wana asalaki mpe ete Mwana azala etima ya bomoi;
27 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
mpe apesaki Ye bokonzi ya kosambisa bato, mpo ete azali Mwana na Moto.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
Bokamwa yango te, pamba te tango ezali koya, tango oyo bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na bakunda bakoyoka mongongo na Ye
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgment.
mpe bakobima longwa kati na yango: ba-oyo basalaki malamu bakosekwa mpo na kozwa bomoi, kasi ba-oyo basalaki mabe bakosekwa mpo na kozwa etumbu.
30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Nakoki kosala eloko moko te na ndenge na Ngai moko: nakataka makambo kolanda oyo nayokaka kowuta epai na Tata, mpe kosambisa na Ngai ezali sembo; pamba te nalukaka te kosala mokano na Ngai moko, kasi mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
Soki napesi litatoli mpo na Ngai moko, litatoli na Ngai ekozala ya solo te.
32 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Boye esengeli ete motatoli mosusu apesa yango mpo na Ngai; mpe nayebi ete litatoli oyo akopesa na tina na Ngai ezali ya solo.
33 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.
Botindaki bato epai ya Yoane, mpe ye atatolaki na tina na bosolo.
34 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.
Ngai, nandimaka litatoli ya moto te; kasi nalobi bongo mpo ete bobika.
35 He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
Solo, Yoane azalaki lokola mwinda oyo bapelisi mpe ezali kongenga. Kasi bino, boponaki kosepela na kongenga na ye kaka mpo na mwa tango moke.
36 But the witness which I have is greater than [that of] John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
Nzokande Ngai, nazali na litatoli moko ya monene na tina na Ngai moko koleka kutu oyo ya Yoane: misala oyo nazali kosala na Kombo ya Tata etatolaka na tina na Ngai ete ezali Tata nde atindaki Ngai.
37 And the Father which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
Ye moko, Tata, oyo atindaki Ngai atatolaki mpo na Ngai. Botikala nanu te koyoka mongongo na Ye mpe komona elongi na Ye;
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
mpe liloba na Ye ezali kati na bino te, pamba te bondima te Motindami na Ye.
39 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; (aiōnios g166)
Bokundolaka Makomi na bokebi, mpo ete bokanisaka ete bokozwa bomoi ya seko kati na yango; nzokande, Makomi yango etatolaka na tina na Ngai, (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
kasi boboyi na bino koya epai na Ngai mpo na kozwa bomoi.
41 I receive not glory from men.
Nalukaka na Ngai te lokumu oyo ewutaka na bato.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
Kutu nayebi bino malamu, nayebi ete, kati na mitema na bino, bozali na bolingo te mpo na Nzambe.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Ngai, nayei na Kombo ya Tata na Ngai, kasi boboyi koyamba Ngai! Nzokande, soki moto mosusu ayei na kombo na ye moko, bokoyamba ye.
44 How can ye believe, which receive glory one of another, and the glory that [cometh] from the only God ye seek not?
Lokola bolukaka kaka kopesana lokumu bino na bino mpe boboyaka lokumu oyo ewutaka kaka na Nzambe, ndenge nini bokoki kondima Ngai?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, [even] Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.
Bokanisa te ete Ngai nde nakofunda bino liboso ya Tata na Ngai, ezali Moyize oyo bondimaka nde akofunda bino.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
Pamba te, soki penza bozalaki kondima Moyize, bolingaki mpe kondima Ngai; pamba te akomaki na tina na Ngai.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Kasi soki bozali kondima ata makomi na ye te, ndenge nini bokondima maloba na Ngai?
