< John 5 >
1 After this there was a feast of the Jews: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Pärast seda oli juutide püha, nii et Jeesus läks Jeruusalemma.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches.
Jeruusalemmas Lambavärava lähedal on tiik, mida heebrea keeles nimetatakse Betsataks ja mille kõrval on viis sammaskoda.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent persons, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
Haigete inimeste hulgad lamasid neis sammaskodades − pimedad, vigased ja halvatud.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and agitated the water: whoever then first after the stirring of the water stepped in, was cured of whatever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
Üks mees, kes oli seal, oli kolmkümmend kaheksa aastat haige olnud. Jeesus vaatas talle otsa, teades, et ta oli seal kaua aega lamanud, ja küsis talt:
6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
„Kas sa tahad terveks saada?“
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is agitated, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
„Isand, “vastas haige mees, „mul ei ole kedagi, kes mind vette aitaks, kui vett segatakse. Sel ajal, kui ma sinna üritan minna, jõuab alati keegi minust ette.“
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
„Tõuse püsti, võta oma matt ja kõnni!“ütles Jeesus talle.
9 And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
Kohe sai mees terveks. Ta võttis oma mati ja hakkas kõndima. Päev, mil see juhtus, oli hingamispäev.
10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
Niisiis ütlesid juudid terveks saanud mehele: „Täna on hingamispäev! Seadus ei luba matti kanda!“
11 He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
„Mees, kes mu terveks tegi, käskis mul mati võtta ja kõndida, “vastas ta.
12 Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
„Kes see inimene on, kes sul käskis mati võtta ja kõndida?“küsisid nad.
13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
Kuid terveks saanud mees ei teadnud, kes see oli, sest Jeesus oli ümbritseva rahvahulga sisse lipsanud.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.
Hiljem leidis Jeesus mehe templist ja ütles talle: „Vaata, sa oled nüüd terveks saanud. Ära siis tee enam pattu, muidu võib sinuga midagi hullemat juhtuda.“
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.
Mees läks juutide juurde ja ütles neile, et see oli Jeesus, kes oli ta terveks teinud.
16 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
Nii hakkasid juudid Jeesust kimbutama, sest ta tegi asju hingamispäeval.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Minu isa tegutseb ikka veel ja nii ka mina.“
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Seetõttu üritasid juudid veel enam teda tappa, sest lisaks hingamispäeva rikkumisele nimetas ta Jumalat oma Isaks, tehes ennast Jumalaga võrdseks.
19 Then answered Jesus, and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever things he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Niisiis selgitas Jeesus neile: „Ma räägin teile tõtt: Poeg ei saa iseenesest midagi teha; ta saab teha ainult seda, mida näeb Isa tegemas. Mida teeb Isa, seda teeb ka Poeg.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
Sest Isa armastab Poega ja ilmutab talle, mida ta teeb; ja Isa näitab talle veel uskumatumaid asju, mis teid täielikult hämmastavad.
21 For as the Father raiseth the dead, and reviveth [them]; even so the Son reviveth whom he will.
Sest samamoodi nagu Isa annab elu neile, kelle ta surnuist üles äratab, annab ka Poeg elu neile, kellele tahab.
22 For the Father judgeth no man; but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
Isa ei mõista kellegi üle kohut. Kõik õigused kohut mõista on ta andnud Pojale,
23 That all [men] should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father who hath sent him.
et kõik austaksid Poega, nagu nad austavad Isa. Kes ei austa Poega, ei austa Isa, kes on Poja läkitanud.
24 Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios )
Ma räägin teile tõtt: neil, kes järgivad, mida ma ütlen, ja usuvad temasse, kes minu on läkitanud, on igavene elu. Neid ei mõisteta hukka, vaid nad on läinud surmast ellu. (aiōnios )
25 Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
Ma räägin teile tõtt: tuleb aeg − õigupoolest on see juba käes −, kui surnud kuulevad Jumala Poja häält, ja need, kes kuulevad, elavad!
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Just nagu Isal on eluandev vägi iseeneses, on ta andnud sama eluandva väe Pojale.
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Isa on andnud talle ka õiguse kohut mõista, sest ta on inimese Poeg.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Ärge üllatuge sellest, sest tuleb aeg, mil kõik, kes on hauas, kuulevad tema häält
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
ja tõusevad üles: need, kes on teinud head, elu ülestõusmiseks, ja need, kes on teinud kurja, hukkamõistmise ülestõusmiseks.
30 I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
Ma ei suuda iseenesest midagi teha. Ma mõistan kohut selle põhjal, mida on mulle öeldud, ja mu otsus on õige, sest ma ei täida enda tahet, vaid tema tahet, kes mu läkitas.
31 If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.
Kui ma väidaksin midagi enda kohta, ei oleks need väited kehtivad,
32 There is another that testifieth concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.
vaid keegi teine tunnistab minust ja ma tean, et see, mida ta minu kohta ütleb, on õige.
33 Ye sent to John, and he testified to the truth.
Te küsisite Johanneselt minu kohta ja ta rääkis tõtt,
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
kuid mul ei ole vaja inimeste heakskiitu. Ma selgitan seda teile, et te võiksite päästetud saada.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Johannes oli nagu eredalt põlev lamp ja te olite valmis mõnda aega tema valgust nautima.
36 But I have greater testimony than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
Aga tunnistus, mida mina annan, on suurem kui Johannese oma, sest ma teen tööd, mille Isa andis mulle teha,
37 And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath borne testimony concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
ning see on tõend, et Isa läkitas mu. Isa, kes mu läkitas, räägib ise minu eest. Te ei ole kunagi tema häält kuulnud, te ei ole näinud, missugune ta välja näeb,
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
ja te ei võta vastu, mida ta ütleb, sest te ei usu sellesse, kelle ta läkitas.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios )
Te uurite pühi kirju, sest arvate, et saate nende abil igavese elu. Kuid need tunnistavad minu toetuseks! (aiōnios )
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
Ja ometi ei taha te minu juurde tulla, et võiksite elada.
41 I receive not honor from men.
Ma ei taotle inimeste heakskiitu
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
− ma tunnen teid ja tean, et teie sees ei ole Jumala armastust.
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.
Sest ma olen tulnud oma Isa esindama ja te ei võtnud mind vastu; aga kui tuleb keegi, kes esindab iseennast, siis võtate ta vastu!
44 How can ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that [cometh] from God only?
Kuidas te saate minusse uskuda, kui taotlete kiitust üksteiselt ega taotle kiitust ainsalt tõeliselt Jumalat?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
Aga ärge arvake, et ma süüdistan teid Isa ees. Teid süüdistab Mooses, keda te nii väga usaldate.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
Sest kui te tõesti usuksite Moosest, siis usuksite ka minusse, sest tema kirjutas minust.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Aga kuna te ei usu, mida ta on öelnud, miks peaksite uskuma seda, mida ütlen mina?“
