< John 5 >

1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Shakapanu, Yesu kagenditi Yerusalemu kumsambu gwa Wayawudi.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
Kulaa Yerusalemu, pakwegera na mlyangu gwawagushemiti Mlyangu gwa kondolu, kweniti na litanda lyawalishemiti kwa Shiebraniya Betizata, liweriti na seemu midamu muhanu.
3 In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.
Lipinga likulu lya walweli walivagiti seemu azi, wanalwisi na wavibyeketu na walewelekiti. Su waweriti wankuhepera mashi gatimbuki,
4
toziya lihoka lya Mlungu kulawa kwa Mtuwa kila mala pakiza na kugatimbula mashi. Mlweri gwa kwanja kwingira mumashi pagatimbuka kaponiziwa.
5 And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
Paliya paweriti na muntu yumu yakalwaliti kwa shipindi sha mivinja milongu mitatu na nane.
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?
Yesu pakamwoniti muntu uliya kagonja paliya na kavimaniti kuwera kalwariti kwa shipindi shivuwa, su kamkosiyiti, “Hashi, gufira guponi?”
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.
Muntu yakalwala kankula, “Mtuwa, kwahera muntu panu gwankuntula mumashi shipindi mashi pagatimbuka. Panjeriti kwingira kumbiti kila mala, muntu yumonga kanongulera.”
8 Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Yesu kamgambira, “Gugoloki, gutoli mkeka gwaku gugendigendi.”
9 And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
Palaa paliya muntu uliya kapona. Kagutoliti mkeka gwakuwi na kanja kugendagenda. Shitwatila ashi shitendikiti Mulishaka lya kwoyera.
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.
Wakulu wa Wayawudi pawawoniti muntu ulii yakaponiziwitwi, womberi wamgambira, “Leru ndo lishaka lya kwoyera! Kwahera ulekeziwu kwa gwenga kupapa mkeka gwaku.”
11 But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Kumbiti Yomberi kawagambira, “Muntu yakamponiziyiti kang'ambiriti ntoli mukeka, ng'ending'endi.”
12 They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk?
Nawomberi wamkosiyiti, “Ndo gaa yakakugambiriti gutoli mukeka gwaku na gugendigendi?”
13 But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
Kumbiti yomberi kamumana ndiri muntu yakamuponiziiti, mana Yesu kaweriti kalihanganiya mulipinga lya wantu.
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.
Shapakanu Yesu kaliwoniti na muntu yakamponiziyiti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, su kamgambira, “Gupikani vinu gwamkomu, guleki kutenda vidoda ama vitwatira vidoda virawili kwaku.”
15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.
Shakapanu muntu uliya kagenda, kawagambira wakolamlima wa Shiyawudi kuwera Yesu ndo yakamuponiziiti.
16 And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
Su Wayawudi wanjiti kumgaziya Yesu, toziya yomberi katenditi shitwatila ashi sha kuponiziya mulishaka lya Kwoyera.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.
Yesu kawagambira womberi, “Tati gwangu kankutenda lihengu mashaka goseri, naneni viraa ntenda lihengu.”
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.
Visoweru avi viwatenda wakulu wa Shiyawudi wendereyi kusakula ntambu ya kumlaga Yesu, toziya kalitenda ndiri weri lilagaliru lya lishaka lya Kwoyera na katakuliti kuwera Mlungu ndo Tati gwakuwi na viraa vilii pakalitenda kuwera gambira Mlungu.
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 kawagambiriti womberi, “Nukugambirani nakaka, Mwana kaweza ndiri kutenda shoseri gweka yakuwi, katenda shilii shakawoniti Tati gwakuwi pakatenda. Vilii vyakatendaga Tati, viraa vilii ndo vyakatenda Mwana.
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.
Toziya Tati kamfira Mwana na kamlangalira yomberi vyoseri vyakatenditi mweni, viraa vilii hakamlanguzii vitwatira vikulu kuliku avi, mwenga hamlikangashi.
21 For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will.
Handa virii Tati pakawazyukisiyiti wahowiti na kuwapanani ukomu, ntambu iraayi Mwana kawapanani ukomu yawafira walii.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;
Tati hapeni katozi muntu yoseri, kumbiti lihengu lyoseri lya kutoza kamupa 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.
su wantu woseri wamgohilili Mwana ntambu yawamgohelera Tati. Yakamgohelira ndiri Mwana, kamgohalila ndiri Tati. Tati ndo mweni yakamtumiti 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)
“Nakugambirani nakaka, woseri yawapikanira visoweru vyangu na kumjimira ulii yakantumiti, hakaweri na ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Hapeni katozwi, ira kapita kala kulawa mukuhowa na kwingira muukomu. (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.
Nukugambirani nakaka, shipindi shankwiza, kayi shisoka kala, ndo sheni wahowiti hawapikiniri liziwu lya Mwana gwa Mlungu na woseri yawapikanira hawalikali.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
Gambira Tati ntambu yakawera shanzu sha ukomu, hera hangu viraa ntambu yakamtenda Mwana gwakuwi kuwera shanzu sha ukomu.
27 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
Na kamupiti Mwana uwezu wa kutoza, toziya yomberi ndo Mwana gwa Muntu.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
Namulikangasha shitwatila ashi, shipindi shankwiza wawahowiti woseri hawapikiniri liziwu lyakuwi
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.
nawomberi hawalawi mumapumba mwawu, woseri walii yawatenditi viherepa hawazyuki na kulikala, na woseri yawatenditi vidoda, hawazyuki na kutozwa.”
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.
“Neni weza ndiri kutenda shoseri kwa uwezu waneni. Neni ntenda hera ntambu ya Mlungu pakang'ambira, su kutoza kwaneni ndo teratera, toziya njeriti ndiri kutenda shirii shanfira, kumbiti ntenda shirii shakafira ulii yakantumiti.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
“Handa panulitakulila namweni, upitawu wa neni hapeni ujimilwi kuwera wa nakaka.
32 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Kumbiti kwana yumonga ndo mweni katakulaga upitawu kuusu neni, naneni nuvimana kuwera vyoseri vyakatakula kuusu neni ndo vyanakaka.
33 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.
Mwenga mtumiti ujumbi kwa Yohani, nayomberi kawutakuliti nakaka.
34 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.
Neni nuwutumbira ndiri upitawu wa wantu, kumbiti ntakula vitwatira avi mpati kulopoziwa.
35 He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
Yohani kaweriti gambira lumuliku lwaluweriti lwakuyaka na kulangala na mwenga musekereriti kulangala kwa shipindi shididiki hera.
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.
“Neni nanawu upitawu kuusu namweni ndo weni mkulu mnu kuliku ulii wa Yohani. Shantenda ndo sheni shakung'ambira kuwera Tati ndo yakantumiti.
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.
Tati ndo yakantumiti, viraa kananguziya. Mwenga hapeni mpikaniri liziwu lyakuwi ama mwoni sheni shakuwi,
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
na visoweru vyakuwi hapeni vikali mumyoyu mwenu, toziya mumjimira ndiri ulii yakamtumiti.
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)
“Mwenga mgalola weri Malembu Mananagala, toziya mulihola kuwera mngati mwakuwi hampati ukomu wa mashaka goseri, kumbiti Malembu galaa galiya gantakula! (aiōnios g166)
40 and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
Pamuhera na hangu, mwenga mlema kwiza kwaneni mpati ukomu.
41 I receive not glory from men.
“Ndolera ndiri ukwisa kulawa kwa wantu.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
Kumbiti nuwamana mwenga, nuvimana kuwera ufiru wa Mlungu kwahera mumyoyu mwenu.
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.
Neni niza kwa uwezu wa Tati gwangu, su munshemera ndiri, Kumbiti mwenga muwashemeraga wantu pawiza muuwezu wawu.
44 How can ye believe, which receive glory one of another, and the glory that [cometh] from the only God ye seek not?
Mfira kuwanka uzyumi kwa wantu, kumbiti mfira ndiri kujera kutenda vitwatira kwa ulii yakawera Mlungu gweka yakuwi, hashi mweza kunjimira neni?
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.
“Namlihola handa neni hanuwasitaki mwenga kwa Tati gwangu. Musa ndo mweni, mwenga mumtumbiriti mweni ndo hakawasitaki.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
Handa nakaka mwenga memjimiri Musa, viraa memnjimiri naneni, toziya Musa kalembiti kuusu neni.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Kumbiti mugajimiri ndiri galii gakalembiti Musa, hamuwezi hashi kuvijimira visoweru vyangu?”
