Johana 5
1 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Jesũ nĩambatire Jerusalemu tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na gĩathĩ kĩa Ayahudi.
After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Yeshua 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 in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is 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 great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
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 went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 Na hau nĩ haarĩ mũndũ ũmwe watũũrĩte arĩ mũrũaru mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana.
A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire akomete hau, na akĩmenya atĩ atũũrĩte ũguo ihinda iraaya, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkwenda kũhonio?”
When Yeshua saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
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 one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware!”
Yeshua said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9 Na o rĩmwe mũndũ ũcio akĩhona, akĩoya kĩbarĩ gĩake, na agĩĩtwara. Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio gwekĩkire ũguo warĩ wa Thabatũ,
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 na nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi makĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wahonetio atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ; watho ndũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie ũkuue kĩbarĩ gĩaku.”
So the Judeans said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11 Nowe akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũũhonirie anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Oya kĩbarĩ gĩaku, wĩtware.’”
He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio ũkwĩrire woe kĩbarĩ wĩtware nũũ?”
Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 Mũndũ ũcio wahonetio ndaamenyaga nũũ wamũhonetie, tondũ Jesũ aakoretwo orĩire kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau.
But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Yeshua had withdrawn, a crowd 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 Yeshua found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
15 Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ na akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe wamũhonetie.
The man went away, and told the Judeans that it was Yeshua who had made him well.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ayahudi makĩnyariira Jesũ, tondũ ekĩte maũndũ macio mũthenya wa Thabatũ.
For this cause the Judeans persecuted Yeshua and sought to kill him, 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 Yeshua answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
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 Judeans sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke 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.
Yeshua therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
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 has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you 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 raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 Na ningĩ-rĩ, ithe ndarĩ mũndũ atuagĩra ciira, no ehokeire Mũriũ ũtuanĩri wothe wa ciira,
For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 nĩgeetha andũ othe matĩĩage Mũriũ o ta ũrĩa matĩĩaga Ithe. Ũrĩa ũtatĩĩaga Mũriũ ndatĩĩaga Ithe ũrĩa wamũtũmire.
that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor 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)
“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into 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.
Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will 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 has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 Na nĩamũheete ũhoti wa gũtuanĩra ciira nĩ tondũ nĩ Mũrũ wa Mũndũ.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 “Mũtikagegio nĩ ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo ihinda nĩrĩroka rĩrĩa andũ arĩa othe marĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ makaigua mũgambo wake
Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29 na moime kuo, arĩa mekĩte wega mariũke nĩguo matũũre muoyo, nao arĩa mekĩte ũũru mariũke nĩguo matuĩrwo ciira.
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.
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 don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
31 “Ingĩheana ũira ũngoniĩ niĩ mwene-rĩ, ũira ũcio wakwa ndũngĩtuĩka wa ma.
“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Nĩ kũrĩ na ũngĩ ũrĩa uumbũraga ũhoro wakwa, na nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũira wake igũrũ rĩakwa nĩ wa ma.
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 “Inyuĩ nĩmwatũmanire kũrĩ Johana, nake nĩaheanire ũira wa ma.
You have sent to Yochanan, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Ti atĩ nĩnjĩtĩkagĩra ũira wa mũndũ; no nĩndĩũgwetaga nĩgeetha mũhonokio.
But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Johana aarĩ tawa ũrĩa wakanire na ũkĩmũrĩka, na inyuĩ mũgĩthuura gũkenera ũtheri wake kwa ihinda.
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while 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 testimony which I have is greater than that of Yochanan; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37 Nake Baba ũrĩa wandũmire nĩaheanĩte ũira ũngoniĩ we mwene. Inyuĩ mũtirĩ mwaigua mũgambo wake kana mũkona ũrĩa atariĩ,
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 o na kiugo gĩake gĩtitũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu, tondũ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aatũmire.
You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
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)
“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 no nĩmũregaga gũũka kũrĩ niĩ mũgĩe na muoyo.
Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41 “Niĩ ndiĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ,
I don’t receive glory from men.
42 no inyuĩ nĩndĩmũũĩ. Ngamenya atĩ inyuĩ mũtirĩ na wendo wa Ngai ngoro-inĩ cianyu.
But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
43 Njũkĩte thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Baba na mũtinjĩtĩkagĩra; no mũndũ ũngĩ angĩũka na rĩĩtwa rĩake mwene, nĩmũkũmwĩtĩkĩra.
I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Mũngĩtĩkia atĩa angĩkorwo mwĩtĩkagĩra ũgooci kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ, no mũticaragia ũgooci ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai o ũcio ũmwe?
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 “No mũtigeciirie atĩ nĩngamũthitanga mbere ya Baba. Musa ũrĩa inyuĩ mwĩhokeete nĩwe mũmũthitangi.
“Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46 Korwo nĩmwĩtĩkĩtie Musa-rĩ, no mũnjĩtĩkie, nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũhoro wakwa aandĩkire.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 No kuona atĩ mũtiĩtĩkĩtie ũrĩa aandĩkire-rĩ, mũngĩgĩtĩkia atĩa ũrĩa njugaga?”
But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
