< Johana 5 >

1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Jesũ nĩambatire Jerusalemu tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na gĩathĩ kĩa Ayahudi.
AFTER these there was a feast of the Jihudoyee, and Jeshu went up to Urishlem.
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 was there in Urishlem a certain place of ablution, which was called in Hebrew Bethchesda, and having in it five porticoes.
3 Kũu nĩkuo gwakomagwo nĩ ikundi nene cia andũ arĩa maarĩ arũaru, ta atumumu, na cionje, na arĩa maakuĩte ciĩga (meetereire maaĩ moinjugwo.
And in these were many infirm people, blind and lame and withered, awaiting the moving of the waters.
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.)
For an angel at times descended to the pool and moved the waters; and he who first descended after the movement of the waters was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 Na hau nĩ haarĩ mũndũ ũmwe watũũrĩte arĩ mũrũaru mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana.
But a certain man was there who for thirtyand-eight years had been in a disease.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire akomete hau, na akĩmenya atĩ atũũrĩte ũguo ihinda iraaya, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkwenda kũhonio?”
Jeshu saw this (man) as he lay, and knew that for a long time he had (been thus), and said to him, Art thou willing to be healed?
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 diseased man answered and said, Yes, my Lord; but I have no man who, when the waters are moved, shall cast me into the pool: but while I am coming, another before me descendeth.
8 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware!”
Jeshu saith to 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 in the instant that man was healed, and, arising, he took up his bed, and walked: and that day was the shabath.
10 na nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi makĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wahonetio atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ; watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũkuue kĩbarĩ gĩaku.”
And the Jihudoyee said to him who had been healed, This is the shabath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 Nowe akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũhonirie anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware.’”
But he answered and said to them, He who made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio ũkwĩrire woe kĩbarĩ wĩtware nũũ?”
And they said to him, What man is this who told thee to take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Mũndũ ũcio wahonetio ndaamenyaga nũũ wamũhonetie, tondũ Jesũ aakoretwo orĩire kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau.
But he who had been healed knew not who it was; for Jeshu had retired among the great multitude which was in that place.
14 Thuutha ũcio Jesũ akĩmũkora hekarũ-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “One, rĩu nĩũhonete. Ndũgacooke kwĩhia ndũkae gũkorwo nĩ ũndũ mũũru kũrĩ ũcio.”
After a time Jeshu found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art healed: sin not again, lest there be to thee that which is worse than the first.
15 Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ na akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe wamũhonetie.
And that man went away, and told the Jihudoyee, that it was Jeshu who had healed him.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ayahudi makĩnyariira Jesũ, tondũ ekĩte maũndũ macio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
On account of this the Jihudoyee persecuted Jeshu, and sought to kill him, because these things he had done on the shabath.
17 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Baba atũũrĩte o arĩ wĩra-inĩ wake nginya rĩu, na o na niĩ no ndĩraruta wĩra.”
But he, Jeshu, said to them, My Father until now worketh, I also 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.
But on this account the more sought the Jihudoyee to kill him, not only because he had loosed the shabath, but also that of Aloha he had said that he was his Father, and had made himself equal with Aloha.
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.
BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, The Son cannot do any thing from the will of himself, but that which he seeth the Father do.
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 those which the Father doeth, these also the Son likewise doeth. For the Father loveth the Son, and every thing that he doeth he showeth him; and greater than these works he showeth him, that you may wonder.
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, so also the Son quickeneth those whom he willeth.
22 Na ningĩ-rĩ, ithe ndarĩ mũndũ atuagĩra ciira, no ehokeire Mũriũ ũtuanĩri wothe wa ciira,
For the Father judgeth no man, but all judgment he hath given to the Son;
23 nĩgeetha andũ othe matĩĩage Mũriũ o ta ũrĩa matĩĩaga Ithe. Ũrĩa ũtatĩĩaga Mũriũ ndatĩĩaga Ithe ũrĩa wamũtũmire.
that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who 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 g166)
Amen, amen, I say to you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me, hath the life that is eternal, and into condemnation he cometh not, but hath passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
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.
Amen, amen, I say to you, That the hour cometh and also now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Aloha; and they who 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 his person, so hath he given also to the Son to have life in his person,
27 Na nĩamũheete ũhoti wa gũtuanĩra ciira nĩ tondũ nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
and hath empowered him also 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 when all they who are in the sepulchres 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 who have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they who have done evil unto the resurrection of condemnation.
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 CANNOT of the will of myself do any thing; but as I hear I judge, and my judgment is just; for I seek not my will, but the will of Him who sent me.
31 “Ingĩheana ũira ũngoniĩ niĩ mwene-rĩ, ũira ũcio wakwa ndũngĩtuĩka wa ma.
If I should witness concerning myself, my testimony would not be (regarded as) truth:
32 Nĩ kũrĩ na ũngĩ ũrĩa uumbũraga ũhoro wakwa, na nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũira wake igũrũ rĩakwa nĩ wa ma.
there is another who witnesseth of me, and I know that true is his testimony which he hath witnessed of me.
33 “Inyuĩ nĩmwatũmanire kũrĩ Johana, nake nĩaheanire ũira wa ma.
You sent to Juchanon, and he witnessed of the truth.
34 Ti atĩ nĩnjĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ; no nĩndĩũgwetaga nĩgeetha mũhonokio.
But I do not from man (only) receive testimony. But these (things) speak I that you may be saved.
35 Johana aarĩ tawa ũrĩa wakanire na ũkĩmũrĩka, na inyuĩ mũgĩthuura gũkenera ũtheri wake kwa ihinda.
He was a lamp that burneth and shineth, and you were willing to glory for the hour 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 I have a testimony which is greater than that of Juchanon; for the works that the Father hath given me to accomplish, these works that I do testify 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 who hath sent me, he testifieth of me: but his voice you have never heard, nor his appearance seen.
38 o na kiugo gĩake gĩtitũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu, tondũ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aatũmire.
And his word abideth not in you, because in Him whom he hath sent you do not believe.
39 Inyuĩ mũtuĩragia Maandĩko tondũ mwĩciiragia atĩ na ũndũ wamo nĩmwĩgwatĩire muoyo wa tene na tene. Maandĩko macio nĩmo moimbũraga ũhoro ũrĩa ũngoniĩ, (aiōnios g166)
Investigate the scriptures; for in them you think you have the life that is eternal, and they testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 no nĩmũregaga gũũka kũrĩ niĩ mũgĩe na muoyo.
And you will not come to me that the life that is eternal you might have.
41 “Niĩ ndiĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ,
Glory from the sons of men I receive not.
42 no inyuĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ. Ngamenya atĩ inyuĩ mũtirĩ na wendo wa Ngai ngoro-inĩ cianyu.
But I know you, that the love of Aloha is not in you.
43 Njũkĩte thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba na mũtinjĩtĩkagĩra; no mũndũ ũngĩ angĩũka na rĩĩtwa rĩake mwene, nĩmũkũmwĩtĩkĩra.
I have come in the name of my Father, and you have not received me.
44 Mũngĩtĩkia atĩa angĩkorwo mwĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ, no mũticaragia ũgooci ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai o ũcio ũmwe?
If another should come in his own name, him you would receive. How can you believe, who glory one from another are receiving, and the glory which is from one, Aloha, you seek not?
45 “No mũtigeciirie atĩ nĩngamũthitanga mbere ya Baba. Musa ũrĩa inyuĩ mwĩhokeete nĩwe mũmũthitangi.
How think you that I will accuse you before the Father? There is one who accuseth you, Musha himself, in whom you hope.
46 Korwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie Musa-rĩ, no mũnjĩtĩkie, nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũhoro wakwa aandĩkire.
For if in Musha you had believed, you would also have believed in me; for Musha of me hath written.
47 No kuona atĩ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aandĩkire-rĩ, mũngĩgĩtĩkia atĩa ũrĩa njugaga?”
But if his writings you believe not, how my words will you believe?
