John 5
1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, otu mmemme ndị Juu ruru, Jisọs agaa Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and it has five roofed porches.
Ma otu ọdọ mmiri nta dị nʼime Jerusalem nʼakụkụ Ọnụ ụzọ ama Atụrụ. Aha ọdọ mmiri ahụ nʼasụsụ Hibru bụ Betsaida, nke nwere mgbe ọnụ ụzọ ise.
3 A large number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying there.
Nʼime ya ka igwe ndị ahụ na-esighị ike na-edina; ndị ìsì, ndị ngwụrọ, na ndị akụkụ ahụ ha kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, ha na-eche mgbe mmiri ahụ ga-enugharị.
Nʼihi na mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị na-agbadata site na mgbe ruo na mgbe gbarụọ mmiri ahụ. Onye ọrịa ọbụla buru ụzọ daba nʼime mmiri ahụ ma a gbarụọ ya, ka a na-agwọ ihe ọbụla bụ ọrịa ya.
5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
Otu nwoke nọ nʼebe ahụ bụ onye nọrọla nʼọrịa iri afọ atọ na asatọ.
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?”
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ya, matakwa na ọ nọọla nʼọnọdụ a ogologo oge, ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị chọrọ ka a gwọọ gị ọrịa?”
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.”
Onye ọrịa ahụ zara, “Nna m ukwu, enweghị m onye ọbụla ga-enyere m aka kuba m nʼime ọdọ mmiri a ma a gbarụọ ya, mgbe o bụla m chọrọ ka m danye, onye ọzọ na-eburu m ụzọ danye.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”
Jisọs gwara ya, “Bilie, chilie ute gị jegharịa.”
9 Immediately the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
Nʼotu oge ahụ, ahụ dịrị nwoke ahụ mma, ọ chịlịri ute ya, malite ijegharị. Ihe a mere nʼụbọchị izuike.
10 So the Jews said to him who was healed, “It is the Sabbath and you are not permitted to carry your mat.”
Ma ndị Juu gwara nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ ọrịa, “Taa bụ ụbọchị izuike, o megidere iwu na ị ga-ebu ute gị.”
11 He replied, “He who made me healthy said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'”
Ma ọ zaghachiri ha, “Nwoke ahụ mere ka ahụ dị m mma sịrị m, ‘Chilie ute gị laa.’”
12 They asked him, “Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick it up and walk'?”
Ha jụrụ ya, “Onye bụ onye ahụ gwara gị ka ị chilie ya laa?”
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.
Ma nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ amataghị onye ọ bụ nʼihi na Jisọs zoro onwe ya banye nʼetiti igwe mmadụ.
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.”
Emesịa, Jisọs hụrụ ya nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu sị ya, “Lee, e mela ka ahụ dị gị mma, emehiekwala ọzọ ka nke dị njọ karịa nke a hapụ ịbịakwasị gị.”
15 The man went away and reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy.
Nwoke a siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa gwa ndị Juu na ọ bụ Jisọs gwọrọ ya.
16 Now because of these things the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
Ya mere, nʼihi na Jisọs na-eme ihe ndị a nʼụbọchị izuike, ndị Juu malitere isogbu ya.
17 Jesus replied to them, “My Father is working even now, and I, too, am working.”
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nna m na-arụ ọrụ mgbe niile ruo ugbu a, mụ onwe m kwa, ana m arụ ọrụ.”
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.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juu chọsịrị ike igbu ya. Ọ bụghị naanị na o mebiri ụbọchị izuike, kama ọ na-akpọkwa Chineke Nna ya, sitekwa otu a na-eme ka ya na Chineke hara.
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.
Jisọs zara ha sị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, o nweghị ihe ọbụla Ọkpara pụrụ ime nʼonwe ya; naanị ihe o nwere ike ime bụ ihe ọ hụrụ Nna ya na-eme, nʼihi na ihe ọbụla Nna ahụ na-eme ka Ọkpara ya na-emekwa.
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.
Nʼihi na Nna ahụ hụrụ Ọkpara ya nʼanya ma na-egosikwa ya ihe niile ọ na-eme. Nʼezie ọ ga-agbagwoju unu anya nʼihi na ọ ga-egosi ya ihe karịrị ndị a.
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
Nʼihi na dị ka nna ahụ si akpọte ndị nwụrụ anwụ na-enyekwa ha ndụ, otu ahụ ka Ọkpara ya si enye onye ọbụla ọ masịrị ya ndụ.
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son
Nna anaghị ekpe onye ọbụla ikpe, kama o nyefere ikpe niile nʼaka Ọkpara.
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.
Ka mmadụ niile nye Ọkpara ahụ nsọpụrụ dị ka ha na-asọpụrụ Nna ahụ. Onye ọbụla nke na-adịghị asọpụrụ Ọkpara ahụ adịghị asọpụrụ Nna nke zitere ya.
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)
“Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, onye ọbụla na-anụ okwu m ma kwerekwa nʼonye zitere m nwere ndụ ebighị ebi, a gaghị amakwa ya ikpe, ọ gafeela site nʼọnwụ banye na ndụ. (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.
Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, oge na-abịa, ọ bịakwala ugbu a mgbe ndị nwụrụ anwụ ga-anụ olu Ọkpara Chineke, ndị ahụ nụrụ ya ga-adịkwa ndụ.
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,
Dị ka Nna ahụ nwere ndụ nʼime onwe ya, otu a ka o nyekwara Ọkpara ahụ ike inwe ndụ nʼime onwe ya.
27 and the Father has given the Son authority to carry out judgment because he is the Son of Man.
O nyekwala ya ikike ikpe ikpe nʼihi na ọ bụ Nwa nke Mmadụ.
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
“Ka nke a hapụ iju unu anya, nʼihi na oge na-abịa, mgbe ndị niile nọ nʼili ha ga-anụ olu ya
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.
ma pụta, ndị mere ihe dị mma ga-ebili dịrị ndụ. Ma ndị mere ihe ọjọọ ga-ebili bụrụ ndị a ga-ama ikpe.
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.
Enweghị m ike ime ihe ọbụla nʼonwe m, ikpe m na-ekpe bụ naanị dị ka m nụrụ, ikpe m bụkwa nke ziri ezi, nʼihi na anaghị m eme ihe ga-amasị m, kama ọ bụ ihe ga-amasị onye ahụ zitere m.
31 If I should testify about myself, my testimony would not be true.
“Ọ bụrụ na m na-agba ama banyere onwe m, ama m abụghị eziokwu.
32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.
Enwere m onye ọzọ na-agbara m ama, amatakwara m na ama ya banyere m bụ eziokwu.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified the truth.
“Unu zigaara Jọn ndị ozi, ọ gbakwaala ama maka eziokwu ahụ.
34 But the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.
Ọ bụghị na m na-anabata ama nke mmadụ, kama a na m ekwu ya ka enwe ike ịzọpụta unu.
35 John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice in his light for a while.
Ọ bụ oriọna nke na-enwu na-amụkekwa, unu họrọkwara ịṅụrị ọṅụ nʼìhè ya nʼoge nta.
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.
“Ma e nwere m ama dị ukwuu karịa nke Jọn, nʼihi na ọrụ ahụ ya bụ Nna nyere m ka m rụchapụ, bụkwa nke m na-arụ, na-agbara m ama na ọ bụ Nna ahụ zitere m.
37 The Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.
Ya bụ Nna ahụ zitere m na-agbakwa ama nʼonwe ya banyere m. Unu anụbeghị olu maọbụ hụ ụdịdị ya.
38 You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.
Okwu ya anọkwaghị nʼime unu nʼihi na unu ekweghị nʼonye o zitere.
39 You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify about me, (aiōnios g166)
Unu na-enyocha akwụkwọ nsọ nʼihi na unu chere na unu ga-esite na ha nwee ndụ ebighị ebi maọbụ ha na-agba ama banyere m. (aiōnios g166)
40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
Ma unu jụrụ ịbịakwute m ka unu nwee ndụ.
41 I do not receive praise from men,
“Anaghị m anabata otuto nke ụmụ mmadụ.
42 but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
Ma amatara m na unu enweghị ịhụnanya Chineke nʼobi unu.
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.
Abịala m nʼaha Nna m ma unu anabataghị m. Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọzọ abịa nʼaha nke onwe ya, unu ga-anabata ya.
44 How can you believe, you who accept praise from one another but are not seeking the praise that comes from the only God?
Olee otu unu ga-esi kwere ebe unu na-anara otuto site nʼaka ibe unu, ma unu adịghị achọ otuto nke si nʼaka onye naanị ya bụ Chineke?
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.
“Unu echela na m ga-ebo unu ebubo nʼihu Nna ahụ. Onye ga-ebo unu ebubo bụ Mosis, bụ onye unu tụkwasịrị obi na ya.
46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
Ọ bụrụ na unu kwenyeere Mosis, unu gakwara ekwere na m, nʼihi na o dere banyere m.
47 If you do not believe his writings, how are you going to believe my words?”
Ma ebe unu na-ekweghị nʼihe o dere, olee otu unu ga-esi kwere nʼihe m kwuru?”
