< Johana 5 >
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Jesũ nĩambatire Jerusalemu tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na gĩathĩ kĩa Ayahudi.
After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Na rĩrĩ, kũu Jerusalemu hakuhĩ na Kĩhingo-kĩa-Ngʼondu nĩ kwarĩ na karia geetagwo na Kĩhibirania Bethesida, nako gaathiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ ithaku ithano ciarĩ ngite.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Kũu nĩkuo gwakomagwo nĩ ikundi nene cia andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru, ta atumumu, na cionje, na arĩa maakuĩte ciĩga (meetereire maaĩ moinjugwo.
In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.
4 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kũrĩ hĩndĩ mũraika wa Mwathani aikũrũkaga akoinjuga maaĩ karia-inĩ kau; na mũndũ wa mbere kũrika kuo maaĩ moinjugwo, nĩahonagio mũrimũ o wothe ũrĩa aarĩ naguo.)
5 Na hau nĩ haarĩ mũndũ ũmwe watũũrĩte arĩ mũrũaru mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana.
And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire akomete hau, na akĩmenya atĩ atũũrĩte ũguo ihinda iraaya, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkwenda kũhonio?”
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?
7 Nake mũndũ ũcio warũarĩte akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, ndirĩ na mũndũ wa kũndikia thĩinĩ wa karia rĩrĩa maaĩ moinjugwo. Ngĩgeria gũtoboka thĩinĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũngĩ agatoboka mbere yakwa.”
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.
8 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware!”
Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Na o rĩmwe mũndũ ũcio akĩhona, akĩoya kĩbarĩ gĩake, na agĩĩtwara. Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio gwekĩkire ũguo warĩ wa Thabatũ,
And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
10 na nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi makĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wahonetio atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ; watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũkuue kĩbarĩ gĩaku.”
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.
11 Nowe akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũhonirie anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware.’”
But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio ũkwĩrire woe kĩbarĩ wĩtware nũũ?”
They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk?
13 Mũndũ ũcio wahonetio ndaamenyaga nũũ wamũhonetie, tondũ Jesũ aakoretwo orĩire kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau.
But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.
14 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akĩmũkora hekarũ-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “One, rĩu nĩũhonete. Ndũgacooke kwĩhia ndũkae gũkorwo nĩ ũndũ mũũru kũrĩ ũcio.”
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.
15 Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ na akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe wamũhonetie.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ayahudi makĩnyariira Jesũ, tondũ ekĩte maũndũ macio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Baba atũũrĩte o arĩ wĩra-inĩ wake nginya rĩu, na o na niĩ no ndĩraruta wĩra.”
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.
18 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi kĩu, Ayahudi magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgeria kũmũũraga; nĩgũkorwo to mũthenya wa Thabatũ aathũkagia, no o na nginya nĩetaga Ngai ithe wake mwene, na ũguo akeiganania na Ngai.
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.
19 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, Mũriũ ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka we mwene, tiga o ũrĩa onaga Ithe agĩĩka, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa Ithe ekaga no mo Mũriũ o nake ekaga.
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.
20 Nĩgũkorwo Ithe nĩendete Mũriũ, na nĩamuonagia maũndũ mothe marĩa ekaga, Ĩĩ, na nĩakamuonia maũndũ manene o na gũkĩra maya, nĩgeetha o na inyuĩ mũgege.
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.
21 O ta ũrĩa Ithe ariũkagia andũ arĩa akuũ akamahe muoyo, noguo o nake Mũriũ aheaga muoyo o ũrĩa angĩenda kũhe.
For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will.
22 Na ningĩ-rĩ, ithe ndarĩ mũndũ atuagĩra ciira, no ehokeire Mũriũ ũtuanĩri wothe wa ciira,
For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;
23 nĩgeetha andũ othe matĩĩage Mũriũ o ta ũrĩa matĩĩaga Ithe. Ũrĩa ũtatĩĩaga Mũriũ ndatĩĩaga Ithe ũrĩa wamũtũmire.
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.
24 “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, ũrĩa wothe ũiguaga kiugo gĩakwa na agetĩkia ũrĩa wandũmire, arĩ na muoyo wa tene na tene; na ti wa gũciirithio nĩarĩkĩtie kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ agatoonya muoyo-inĩ. (aiōnios )
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 )
25 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, kũrĩ ihinda rĩrooka, na rĩu nĩikinyu rĩrĩa akuũ makaigua mũgambo wa Mũrũ wa Ngai, nao arĩa makaũigua nĩ magaatũũra muoyo.
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.
26 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa Ithe arĩ na muoyo thĩinĩ wake mwene, no taguo ahotithĩtie Mũriũ kũgĩa na muoyo thĩinĩ wake mwene.
For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:
27 Na nĩamũheete ũhoti wa gũtuanĩra ciira nĩ tondũ nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
28 “Mũtikagegio nĩ ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa andũ arĩa othe marĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ makaigua mũgambo wake
Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
29 na moime kuo, arĩa mekĩte wega mariũke nĩguo matũũre muoyo, nao arĩa mekĩte ũũru mariũke nĩguo matuĩrwo ciira.
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.
30 Ndirĩ ũndũ ingĩhota gwĩka niĩ mwene; nduanagĩra ciira kũringana na ũrĩa njiguaga, na itua rĩakwa nĩ rĩa kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo ndicaragia gwĩkenia niĩ mwene, tiga gũkenia ũrĩa wandũmire.
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.
31 “Ingĩheana ũira ũngoniĩ niĩ mwene-rĩ, ũira ũcio wakwa ndũngĩtuĩka wa ma.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Nĩ kũrĩ na ũngĩ ũrĩa uumbũraga ũhoro wakwa, na nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũira wake igũrũ rĩakwa nĩ wa ma.
It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 “Inyuĩ nĩmwatũmanire kũrĩ Johana, nake nĩaheanire ũira wa ma.
Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.
34 Ti atĩ nĩnjĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ; no nĩndĩũgwetaga nĩgeetha mũhonokio.
But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.
35 Johana aarĩ tawa ũrĩa wakanire na ũkĩmũrĩka, na inyuĩ mũgĩthuura gũkenera ũtheri wake kwa ihinda.
He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
36 “Niĩ ndĩ na ũira mũnene gũkĩra ũcio wa Johana. Nĩgũkorwo wĩra ũrĩa Baba aaheete ndĩĩkie, na noguo ndĩraruta, nĩguo uumbũraga atĩ Baba nĩwe ũndũmĩte.
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.
37 Nake Baba ũrĩa wandũmire nĩaheanĩte ũira ũngoniĩ we mwene. Inyuĩ mũtirĩ mwaigua mũgambo wake kana mũkona ũrĩa atariĩ,
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.
38 o na kiugo gĩake gĩtitũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu, tondũ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aatũmire.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
39 Inyuĩ mũtuĩragia Maandĩko tondũ mwĩciiragia atĩ na ũndũ wamo nĩmwĩgwatĩire muoyo wa tene na tene. Maandĩko macio nĩmo moimbũraga ũhoro ũrĩa ũngoniĩ, (aiōnios )
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me; (aiōnios )
40 no nĩmũregaga gũũka kũrĩ niĩ mũgĩe na muoyo.
and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 “Niĩ ndiĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ,
I receive not glory from men.
42 no inyuĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ. Ngamenya atĩ inyuĩ mũtirĩ na wendo wa Ngai ngoro-inĩ cianyu.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
43 Njũkĩte thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba na mũtinjĩtĩkagĩra; no mũndũ ũngĩ angĩũka na rĩĩtwa rĩake mwene, nĩmũkũmwĩtĩkĩra.
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.
44 Mũngĩtĩkia atĩa angĩkorwo mwĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ, no mũticaragia ũgooci ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai o ũcio ũmwe?
How can ye believe, which receive glory one of another, and the glory that [cometh] from the only God ye seek not?
45 “No mũtigeciirie atĩ nĩngamũthitanga mbere ya Baba. Musa ũrĩa inyuĩ mwĩhokeete nĩwe mũmũthitangi.
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.
46 Korwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie Musa-rĩ, no mũnjĩtĩkie, nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũhoro wakwa aandĩkire.
For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
47 No kuona atĩ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aandĩkire-rĩ, mũngĩgĩtĩkia atĩa ũrĩa njugaga?”
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
