Jan 5
1 Lani ń pendi, Juufinba den pia mi jaanma, ke jesu gedi Jerusalema.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Jeruselema yeni, den pia ñunpindbuogu ke ku yi Jesu danba maama nni, Betesda, ke gu kuu yeni li paloli bulñɔbu, ki pia ciadi mu.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 bi yianba bonciala den dua li ciadi nni kuli: a juama, a diama, mu wabmu, yeni ti gbannankpiendi danba, ke bi kaa ki guu mi ñima lengdima;
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 Kelima li den pia ya yognu ke maleki den yi jiidi ki gbidi mi ñima; yua den kpia ki jiidi mi ñima ń gbidi ya yognu, o den yi paagi; hali wan yia ya yianu kuli.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 O yiamo den ye likani, ki yiagi hali piitaa n bina niin n yeni.
And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Jesu ń la o ke o dua, ki bandi ke wan yiagi li waagi, ke o buali o: «A bua ŋan paagi ii?”
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
7 O yiamo ń ŋmiani o “N Diedo, n ki pia yua n ba todi nni min jiidi ku ñinbuogu nni mi ñima ń lengdi ya yognu. N ya nagni, n ba sua ke nitiano kpia ki jiidi ki ŋa nni.
The impotent 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 Jesu den yedi o: «Fii ki taa a duakaagu ki ya cuoni.»
Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Lanyognu liga, o yiamo ń paagi, wan taa o duankaagu ki ya cuoni.
And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Li den tie mi fuodma daali i, Juufinba ń buali yua n paagi yeni; “Dinne tie fuodma daali, li ki buali ke ŋan taa a duankaagu.
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 Wan guan ki ŋmiani ba: “Yua n paagi nni maadi nni ke min taa n duankaagu ki ya cuoni.”
He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Ban buali o: “ŋma yedi a ke ŋan taa a duankaagu ki ya cuoni?”
Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Ama yua n den paagi den ki bani yua n paagi o; kelima Jusu den kua ku nilgu nni ke waa ji bandi o.
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, a multitude being in that place.
14 Lan pugni waamu ke Jesu guani ki cendi o li jaandieli nni, ki maadi o: Mɔla, a paagi; ji da tieni tuonbiadi ke yaali n cie a yianu ne ń ji da cuo ŋa.
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.
15 Yua n paagi yeni ń gedi ki maadi Juufinba ke Jesu n paagi o.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had healed him.
16 Lani n cedi ke Juufinba den ŋua Jesu yeni mi yibalma, kelima o tieni lan ya bona mi fuodma daali.
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 Ama ke Jesu guani ki ŋmiani ba: «N báa li tuuni hali yeni mɔlane, N mo tuuni i.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 Lanyapo, ke Juufinba ji den lingi ke ban biani o miali, kelima li ki tie wan ki cɔlni mi fuodma daali baba ka, ama ke o yi U Tienu o báacelo, ki sengi o yuli U Tienu sensienu.
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.
19 Lanwani i, Jesu ń guani ki ga mi maama, ki yedi ba: «I mɔmɔni, i mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, Bijua kan fidi ki tieni libá kuli o yuli po, o tiendi wan nua ke Báa tiendi yaali i; ke Báa ń tiendi yaali, Bijua mo tieni lani i, paadma bá kuli ki ye.
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 he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 Kelima Báa bua Bijua, ki wangi o wan tiendi yaali kuli; o go ba waani o ya bona n cie yin nua yaali ne, lan yaa ki lidi yi.
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.
21 Kelima, nani Báa ǹ yiedi bi kpienba, ki puuni li miali yeni, Bijua mo puuni wan bua yua li miali.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth life to them; even so the Son giveth life to whom he will.
22 Báa ki jiagi nilo buudi, ama o cabi Bijua i, li buujiali kuli.
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
23 Li tieni yeni, ke yuakuli ń kpiagi Bijua yeli nani ban kpiagdi Báa yeli maama. Yua n ki kpiagdi Bijua yeli, o ki kpiagdi Báa yua n sɔni o.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him.
24 «I mɔmɔni, i mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, yua n cengi n maama, ki dugi yua n sɔni nni po, pia ya miali n kan gbeni. Bi kan jia o ya buudi, ama o ñani mi kuuma nni, ki kua li miali nni. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
25 «I mɔmɔni, i mɔmɔni, n maadi yi, u yogu kpendi, u pundi mɔno, ke bi kpienba baa gbia U Tienu Bijua nialu; yaaba n ba gbadi lan ya nialu baa fo.
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.
26 kelima nani Báa ń kubi li miali o niinni yeni, Bijua mo kubi li miali o niinni yeni i, o cedi ke Bijua mo pia li miali o niinni yeni i.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 O puni o yikodi, ke wan ya jiagi ti buudi, kelima o tie o nisaalo bijua i.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Li bona ń da lidi yi ka. Kelima u yogu kpendi, ke yaaba n ye a kakula nni ba gbadi o maama ki ña bi kakula nni.
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 Yaaba n tieni mi ŋanma ba yiedi ki ya pia li miali, ama yaaba n tieni ti tuonbiadi ba yiedi ban jia bi buudi.
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.
30 N kan fidi ki tieni libá kuli n yuli po; nani min gbia maama yeni, n jiagi ti buudi ke li tiegi, kelima n ki lingi n ya yanbuama ka, ama yua n sɔni nni ya yanbuama.
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.
31 Mini n ya tieni kasiedi n yuceli po, n kasiedi ki tie mɔni.
If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
32 Nitiano ye, ki tiendi kasiedi n po, n bani ke wan tiendi ya kasiedi n po tie mɔmɔni i.
There is another that beareth witness concerning me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth concerning me is true.
33 I sɔni bi niba Jan po ke o tieni kasiedi i mɔmɔni po.
Ye sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 Mini ya po, nisaalo ka ba tieni kasiedi n po, ama n maadi lani ke yin baa mi faabma i.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
35 Jan den tie ya fidsanga n co, ki tuudi, ke i den bua yin mangi i pala yeni o yenyenma waamu.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 Min wani, n pia ya kasiedi n yabi ki cie Jan kasiedi; kelima, Báa ǹ bili nni ke min sɔni ya tuona, min tuuni ya tuona mɔno tiendi kasiedi n po ke Báa n sɔni nni.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 Ke wani Báa yua n sɔni nni mɔno tieni kasiedi n po; i ki kpeli ki gbadi o nialu, i ki kpeli ki la o nunga.
And the Father himself, who hath sent me, hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 O maama ki ye i niinni, kelima i ki dugi wan sɔni yua ya po.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 I cogi ki kpaagi i diani nni, kelima i tama ke yini n ba puni yi ya miali n kan gbeni: yini n tiendi kasiedi n po. (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 I nan ki bua yin ŋɔdi nni ki baa li miali.
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 N yudandi ki ñani bi niba kani ka
I receive not honour from men.
42 Ama n bani ke i ki kubi U Tienu buama i niinni.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 N jiidi ki cua n Báa yeli po i, ke i ki ga n cangu; tiano ya cua o yeceli po, i nan ba ga o.
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 I nan ba tieni ledi i, ki dugi n po, yinba yaaba lingi ti yudandi i lieba kani, ki nan ki lingi ya yudandi n ñani U Tienu baba ya kani.
How can ye believe, who receive honour one from another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Da maali mani ke min ba jalgi yi Báa kani; yua n ba jalgi yi tie Moyiisi, wani ya po i, ke i pia li dandanli.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 Kelima i ya bi daani Moyiisi nni, i bi baa dugi n po mo; kelima o diani ki maadi n ya maama i.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
47 Ama i ya ki pia dandanli o diani po, li ba ga ledi, yin ya pia li dandanli n maama po?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
