John 5
1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Nikwakamana aya kwakaba pobwe lya maJuda, alakwe Jesu wakayinka kuJelusalema.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.
Elyo muJelusalema afwifwi amulyango wambelele kwakali kalambw, kitwa kuti muchi Alamayiki Betesida, kwakayakidwe nganda ilamanda alimusanu.
3 A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there.
Ibantu bingi bakali kuchiswa, boofu, bateendi, abalebukide bakalikulinda mpawawo.
Nkambo mungelo wakali kuseluka akukopa manzi mulizimwi zyindi elyo kufumbwa walikunjila imanzi nkachikopegwa wakali kupona kuzwa kubulwazi fumbwa mbwali kuchiswa.
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
Awo kwakali umwi mwalumi wakali kuchiswa kwaminyaka ilimakkumi otatwe amusanu ayitatu. Awo Jesu nakamubona nkalede
6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healthy?”
mpawaw, nkali waziba kuti waliwawo kwachindi chilamfu. Wakati kulinguwe, “ulayanda na kuponesegwa?”
7 The sick man replied, “Sir, I do not have anyone to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. When I come, another steps down before me.”
Mulwazi wakati, “Mwami, nsikwe muntu wakundinjizya mudambwa awo manzi na kopanisigwa, awo nenti njile, umwi anga wandindila kunjila.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”
Jesu wakamwambila kuti, “Nyampuka, bweza buulo bwako, uyende.”
9 Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
Mpawawo oyu mwalumi wakapona, mpawawo wakabweza buulo bwakwe elyo wakenda. Yino obo buzuba bwakali kutegwaSabata.
10 So the Jews said to him who was healed, “It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”
Aboobo bamaJuda bakamwambila kuti oyu mwalumi wakaponesegwa, “Sunu niSabata tozumizigwi pe kubweza buulo bwako.”
11 He replied, “He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'”
Wakati, “Oyo wandiponia wati kulindime, 'bweza buulo bwako wende.”'
12 They asked him, “Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?”
Bakamubuzya kuti, 'ngwani mwalumi oyu mwalumi wakubuzya kuti, bweza buulo bwako uyende'?”
13 However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had gone away secretly, for there was a crowd in the place.
Nekuliboob, iwakasilikwa takamwizi pe kuti ngwani nkambo Jesu wakazwebeleka wanjila mubantu, mukuti kwakali bantu bingi abusena oobu.
14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you have become healthy! Do not sin anymore, so that something worse will not happen to you.”
Kuzwawo, Jesu wakamujana mutempele wamwambila kuti “boona, wapona! Utakabisyi limbi, kuchitila kuti zibi kwinda awa zitakakuchitikili.”
15 The man went away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.
Imwalumi oyu wakazwa waya kuyobuzya maJuda kuti nguJesu wamuponia.
16 Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
Ino nkambo kazezi zintu maJuda bakapenzegwa Jesu, mukuti wakachita zintu ezi muzuba litegwa Sabata.
17 Jesus replied to them, “My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working.”
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Taata ulokubeleka ayin, aboobo ambebo, ndookubeleka.”
18 Because of this, the Jews sought even more to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
Nkambo kazez, maJuda bakayindilila kuyanda kumujaya mukuti takatyola Sabata biyo pe, pesi akuti lubo wakita Leza nkati nguwisi mwini, kulyelanisya aLeza.
19 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does these things also.
Jesu wakabasandula, “Nchobeni, imwana takonzyi kuchita chintu mwini, ado biyo zyabona Taata nkachita, nkambo kufumbwa Taata nchalokuchita, Imwana uchita munzila njiyo.
20 For the Father loves the Son and he shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater things than these so that you will be amazed.
Nkambo Taata ulamuyanda Mwana aboobo ulamutondezya zyonse nzyachita mwini, akumutondezya zintu zipati kwinda ezi kuti mugambe.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
Mbubo Taata mbabusya bafwide akubapa buumi, aboobo alakwe Mwana ulapa buumi kuli kufumbwa ngwasal.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son
Nkaambo Taata takwe ngwabeteka, pesi wakapa lubeta loonse kuMwami.
23 so that everyone will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
Kuchitila kuti bantu boonse bakalemye Mwana mbuli mbobalemya Taata. Oyo utalemyi Mwana talemyi Taata wakamutuma.
24 Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but he has passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
Nchobeni, nchobeni, Oyo umvwa ijwi lyangu akumusyoma wakandituma ulabuumi butamani mpawo tayopegwa mulandu, pesi winda kuzwa kulufu kuya kubuumi. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly, I tell you the time is coming, and is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
Nchobeni, nchobeni, ndamwambila chindi chiyobuza, ayino nchenchichechino, awo bafwide mpobayomvwa ijwi lyamwana Leza, abaabo bamvwa bayo pona.
26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has also given to the Son so that he has life in himself,
Nkaambo mbuli Taata mbala buumi mulinguwe mbubo mbapede Mwana kuti abe abuumi muli nguw,
27 and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the Son of Man.
Mpawo Taata wakapa mwana bwendelezi bwakubeteka nkambo mwana wa muntu.
28 Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which everyone who is in the tombs will hear his voice
Mutagambi aatala azez, nkaambo kulichindi chiyobuza mulinchicho woonse muntu ulimuchumbwe mpayo limvwa ijwi lyakwe
29 and will come out. Those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Mpawo bayozwa aboobo bakachita kabotu kububuke bwamwami aabobo bakachita bubi kububuke bwalubeta.
30 I can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Nsikonzyi kuchita chintu lwangu. Mbuli mbomvwa ndabeteka, mpawo kubeteka kwangu kuliluleme nkaambo nsiyobuyandula luyando lwangu pesi luyando lyayoyo wakanditum.
31 If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be true.
Ikuti ndalipeda bukamboni lwangu ndemwin, bukamboni bwangu tabunosinizyi pe.
32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.
Kuli umwi upeda bukamboni atala andime mpawo ndizizi kuti bukamboni mbwapa atala anduwe bulisinizizye.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.
Mwakatuma bantu kuli joni mpawo wakapa bukamboni businizizye.
34 But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.
Pesi bukamboni mbotambula tabuzwi kumuntu. Ngwamba zintu ezi kuti mukonzye kufutulwa.
35 John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.
Joni wakali lampi lyakali kuyaka akumunik, mpawo mwakanda kukondwa mumumuni wakwe kwakindi.
36 Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me that the Father has sent me.
Pesi ibukamboni mbondabo mbupati kwinda bwa Jon, nkaambo imilimu eyo
37 The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.
Taata njandipa kuti njimanisizy, njiyo milimo njechit, indipede bukamboni kuli Taata wakandituma. Taata wakandituma lwakwe mwini wakandipeda bukambon.
38 You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.
Tamuna kumumvwida jwi nanka kumubona chimo chakwe naba achili chind. Tamukwe ijwi likkalilide pe mulindinyw, nkaambo tamulikusyoma pe muliyooyo ngwakatum.
39 You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about me, (aiōnios g166)
Mulayandula magwalo nkaambo muyeye kuti muli ngawo mulibuumi butaman, mpawo ngayaya magwalo apeda bukamboni aatala andime. (aiōnios g166)
40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
Inywe tamukwe chiyandisyo chakuza kulindime kuti mukonzye kuba abuumi.
41 I do not receive praise from men,
Nsitambuli mulema buzwa kumuntu,
42 but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
, pesi ndilizi kuti tamukwe luyando lwa Leza pe mulindinywe.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another should come in his own name, you would receive him.
Ndasika muzina lya Taat, inywe inywe tamunditambuli pe. Ikuti umwi wasika muzina lyakw, mulakonzya kumutambul.
44 How can you believe, you who accept praise from one another but are not seeking the praise that comes from the only God?
Mbobuli mbomunga mulasyom, inywe nomutambula bulemu kuzwa kulibamwi banu pesi tamuyanduli bulemu buzwa kuli Leza alike?
45 Do not think that I myself will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
Mutayeyi kuti lwangu ndemwini njomupa mulanda kunembo lya Taata. Uyomupa mulanda ngu Musa, mulinguwe mumwakabikide bulangizi.
46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
Ikuti mwakamusyoma Mus, mwayinondisyoma ambeb, nkambo wakalemba atala ambebo.
47 If you do not believe his writings, how are you going to believe my words?”
Ikuti kamutasyomi malembe akw, mbobuli mbomuyosyoma majwi angu?”
