John 5
1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema kumutambo wavaJudha.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticos about it.
Zvino muJerusarema mune dziva riri pedyo neSuo raMakwai, rinonzi Bhetesdha nechiHebheru, uye rakapoteredzwa namabiravira mashanu.
3 In these lay a great number of people that were infirm, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
Imomo vanhu vazhinji vakaremara vaisivatamo, mapofu, zvirema navakafa mitezo.
4 For an angel descended at a certain season into the pool, and moved the water; the first therefore that went in after the disturbing of the water, was cured of whatever malady he laboured under.
Nguva nenguva mutumwa waShe aiburukiramo achibvongodza mvura. Munhu aitanga kupinda mudziva shure kwenguva ipi zvayo yainge yabvongodzwa mvura aiporeswa pachirwere chipi zvacho chaainge anacho.
5 And there was a man who had been under illness thirty eight years.
Mumwe murume akanga arimo akanga arwara kwamakore makumi matatu namasere.
6 Jesus seeing him lie there, and knowing that he had been now a long time ill, saith unto him, Dost thou desire to be cured?
Jesu akati amuona avete imomo, uye aiziva kuti akanga aita mararamiro iwayo kwenguva refu, akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuporeswa here?”
7 The infirm man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is moved, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
Murwere akati, “Ishe, handina munhu anondibatsira kuti ndipinde mudziva mvura painenge yabvongodzwa. Ndichiri kuedza kupinda, mumwe anonditangira.”
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Simuka! Tora rukukwe rwako ufambe.”
9 And immediately the man was cured: and he took up his bed and walked.
Pakarepo murume uyu akaporeswa; akatora rukukwe rwake akafamba. Zuva rakaitika izvi raiva reSabata.
10 Now this was the sabbath-day, therefore the Jews said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kumurume uya akanga aporeswa, “Nhasi iSabata; murayiro unokurambidza kuti utakure rukukwe rwako.”
11 He answered them, He, that made me well, said unto me, Take up thy bed and walk.
Asi iye akapindura akati, “Murume andiporesa ati kwandiri, ‘Takura rukukwe rwako ufambe.’”
12 Therefore they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndianiko murume uyu akutaurira kuti urutakure ufambe?”
13 but he, that was healed, did not know who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being many people in the place.
Murume uya akanga aporeswa akanga asingazivi kuti ainge ari ani, nokuti Jesu akanga apinda mukati meungano yakanga iripo.
14 Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed; sin no more, least something worse befal thee.
Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akamuwana ari mutemberi uye akati kwaari, “Tarira, wapora. Usatadzazve kuti urege kuwirwa nechimwe chinhu chakaipisisa.”
15 And the man went away, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had healed him.
Murume akabva akaenda akandoudza vaJudha kuti ndiJesu akanga amuporesa.
16 And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.
Saka nokuda kwokuti Jesu akanga achiita zvinhu izvi nomusi weSabata, vaJudha vakamutambudza.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh without intermission, and so do I.
Jesu akati kwavari, “Baba vangu vanoramba vari pabasa ravo kusvikira nhasi chaiye, uye neniwo, ndiri kushanda.”
18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He had not only broken the sabbath, but had also called God his own Father, making Himself equal with God.
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vaJudha vakaedza zvakanyanya kwazvo kuti vamuuraye; nokuti akanga asingaputsi Sabata chete, asi akanga achitiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
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 do: for whatsoever He doth, these also the Son doth in like manner.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Mwanakomana haagoni kuita chinhu ari oga; anongogona kuita zvaanoona Baba vake vachiita, nokuti zvose zvinoitwa naBaba, Mwanakomana anozviitawo.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things, which He Himself doth: and He will shew Him greater than these, that ye may wonder.
Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana uye vanomuratidza zvose zvavanoita ivo. Hongu, kuti imi mushamiswe, vachamuratidza kunyange zvinhu zvikuru kwazvo kupfuura izvi.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: even so the Son maketh alive whom He pleaseth.
Nokuti sezvo Baba vachimutsa vakafa uye vachivapa upenyu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anopa upenyu kuno uyo waanofarira kuti ape.
22 For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgement to the Son;
Pamusoro paizvozvo, Baba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwose,
23 that all men may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father: he, that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent Him.
kuti vose vakudze Mwanakomana sokukudza kwavanoita Baba. Uyo asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
24 Verily, verily I say unto you, he, that heareth my word, and believeth in Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come under condemnation; but is passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
“Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, ani naani anonzwa shoko rangu uye achitenda uyo akandituma, ano upenyu husingaperi uye haachazotongwi, abva murufu uye aenda kuupenyu. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily I tell you, that the time is coming, and even now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, nguva inouya uye yatosvika zvino yokuti vakafa vachanzwa inzwi roMwanakomana waMwari uye avo vanonzwa vachararama.
26 For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given also to the Son to have life in Himself.
Nokuti sezvo Baba vano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana kuti ave noupenyu maari.
27 And hath given Him authority also to execute judgement, because He is the Son of man.
Uye vakamupa simba rokuti atonge nokuti ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
28 Wonder not at this; for the time is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
“Musashamiswa pane izvi, kuti nguva inouya yokuti vose vari mumakuva avo vachanzwa inzwi rake
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.
uye vachamuka; vose vakaita zvakanaka vachamuka vachienda kuupenyu, uye avo vakaita zvakaipa vachamuka vachienda kukutongwa.
30 I can do nothing of my self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father that hath sent me.
Ini ndoga handigoni kuita chinhu; ndinongotonga sezvandinenge ndanzwa, uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki kuzvifadza asi iye akandituma.
31 If I alone bear witness of my self, my testimony is not true in law:
“Kana ndichizvipupurira, uchapupu hwangu hahuna maturo.
32 but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.
Pano mumwe anondipupurira, uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake pamusoro pangu ndohwechokwadi.
33 Ye your selves sent unto John, and he bore witness to the truth:
“Makatuma nhume kuna Johani naiye akapupurira chokwadi.
34 though I need not testimony from man; but I say these things that ye may be saved.
Hazvirevi kuti ndinogamuchira kupupura kwavanhu; asi ndareva izvi kuti muponeswe.
35 He was indeed a burning and shining light, and for a while ye willingly rejoiced in his light.
Johani akanga ari mwenje waipfuta uye uchivhenekera, uye imi makasarudza kufara kwenguva duku muchiedza chake.
36 But I have a testimony greater than John's: for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the very works which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
“Ndino uchapupu hukuru kupfuura hwaJohani. Nokuti iro basa chairo randakapiwa naBaba kuti ndiripedze, uye randiri kuita, rinondipupurira kuti Baba vakandituma.
37 And the Father who sent me, hath Himself borne witness of me: and yet ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
Uye ivo Baba vakandituma vakapupura pachavo pamusoro pangu. Hamuna kutombonzwa inzwi ravo kana kuona chimiro chavo,
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you; because ye believe not Him, whom He hath sent.
uye shoko ravo harigari mukati menyu, nokuti hamutendi iye waakatuma.
Munoshingaira kunzvera magwaro nokuti munofunga kuti maari mune upenyu husingaperi. Magwaro iwaya anopupura pamusoro pangu, (aiōnios g166)
40 and they testify of me: and yet ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
asi imi munoramba kuuya kwandiri kuti muve noupenyu.
41 Though I desire not applause from men:
“Handigamuchiri kurumbidzwa kunobva kuvanhu,
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
asi ndinokuzivai. Ndinoziva kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mumwoyo yenyu.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Ndakauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamundigamuchiri; asi kana mumwewo zvake akauya muzita rake, muchamugamuchira.
44 How can ye believe, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?
Mungatenda seiko kana muchikudzana pachenyu asi musingashingairiri kuwana kurumbidzwa kunobva kuna Mwari oga?
45 Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
“Asi musafunga kuti ndichakupomerai mhosva pamberi paBaba. Mupomeri wenyu ndiMozisi, wamunoisa tariro yenyu maari.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote concerning me:
Dai maitenda Mozisi, mungadai maitendawo ini, nokuti akanyora nezvangu.
47 but if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Asi sezvo musingatendi zvaakanyora, muchatenda seiko zvandinoreva?”
