< Κατα Ιωαννην 5 >
1 Μετὰ ταῦτα ἦν ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβη ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Ἔστιν δὲ ἐν τοῖς Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐπὶ τῇ Προβατικῇ κολυμβήθρα, ἡ ἐπιλεγομένη Ἑβραϊστὶ, Βηθσαϊδά, πέντε στοὰς ἔχουσα.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Ἐν ταύταις κατέκειτο πλῆθος τῶν ἀσθενούντων, τυφλῶν, χωλῶν, ξηρῶν.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 Ἦν δέ τις ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖ, τριάκοντα ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἔχων ἐν τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ αὐτοῦ.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Τοῦτον ἰδὼν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς κατακείμενον, καὶ γνοὺς ὅτι πολὺν ἤδη χρόνον ἔχει, λέγει αὐτῷ, “Θέλεις ὑγιὴς γενέσθαι;”
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ ἀσθενῶν, “Κύριε, ἄνθρωπον οὐκ ἔχω, ἵνα ὅταν ταραχθῇ τὸ ὕδωρ, βάλῃ με εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν· ἐν ᾧ δὲ ἔρχομαι ἐγὼ, ἄλλος πρὸ ἐμοῦ καταβαίνει.”
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 Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἔγειρε, ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου, καὶ περιπάτει.”
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Καὶ εὐθέως ἐγένετο ὑγιὴς ὁ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἦρεν τὸν κράβαττον αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιεπάτει. Ἦν δὲ Σάββατον ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τῷ τεθεραπευμένῳ, “Σάββατόν ἐστιν, καὶ οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἆραι τὸν κράβαττον σου.”
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
11 ὃς δὲ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς, “Ὁ ποιήσας με ὑγιῆ, ἐκεῖνός μοι εἶπεν, ‘Ἆρον τὸν κράβαττόν σου καὶ περιπάτει.’”
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν, “Τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εἰπών σοι, ‘Ἆρον καὶ περιπάτει’;”
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Ὁ δὲ ἰαθεὶς οὐκ ᾔδει τίς ἐστιν, ὁ γὰρ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐξένευσεν, ὄχλου ὄντος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ.
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
14 Μετὰ ταῦτα εὑρίσκει αὐτὸν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Ἴδε, ὑγιὴς γέγονας· μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε, ἵνα μὴ χεῖρόν σοί τι γένηται.”
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 Ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος, καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὸν ὑγιῆ.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο, ἐδίωκον οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ὅτι ταῦτα ἐποίει ἐν Σαββάτῳ.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 Ὁ δὲ ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς, “Ὁ Πατήρ μου ἕως ἄρτι ἐργάζεται, κἀγὼ ἐργάζομαι.”
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Διὰ τοῦτο οὖν, μᾶλλον ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἔλυε τὸ Σάββατον, ἀλλὰ καὶ Πατέρα ἴδιον ἔλεγεν τὸν ˚Θεόν, ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ ˚Θεῷ.
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 Ἀπεκρίνατο οὖν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύναται ὁ Υἱὸς ποιεῖν ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ οὐδὲν, ἐὰν μή τι βλέπῃ τὸν Πατέρα ποιοῦντα· ἃ γὰρ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποιῇ, ταῦτα καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ.
Then answered Jesus 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 what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 Ὁ γὰρ Πατὴρ φιλεῖ τὸν Υἱὸν, καὶ πάντα δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ ἃ αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, καὶ μείζονα τούτων δείξει αὐτῷ ἔργα, ἵνα ὑμεῖς θαυμάζητε.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 Ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ Πατὴρ ἐγείρει τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ ζῳοποιεῖ, οὕτως καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς, οὓς θέλει ζῳοποιεῖ.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 Οὐδὲ γὰρ ὁ Πατὴρ κρίνει οὐδένα, ἀλλὰ τὴν κρίσιν πᾶσαν δέδωκεν τῷ Υἱῷ,
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 ἵνα πάντες τιμῶσι τὸν Υἱὸν, καθὼς τιμῶσι τὸν Πατέρα. Ὁ μὴ τιμῶν τὸν Υἱὸν, οὐ τιμᾷ τὸν Πατέρα, τὸν πέμψαντα αὐτόν.
That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὁ τὸν λόγον μου ἀκούων, καὶ πιστεύων τῷ πέμψαντί με, ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται, ἀλλὰ μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν. (aiōnios )
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios )
25 Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ νεκροὶ ἀκούσουσιν τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἀκούσαντες ζήσουσιν.
Verily, verily, I say unto 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 Ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ Πατὴρ ἔχει ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὕτως καὶ τῷ Υἱῷ ἔδωκεν ζωὴν ἔχειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ·
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κρίσιν ποιεῖν, ὅτι Υἱὸς Ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Μὴ θαυμάζετε τοῦτο, ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ἐν ᾗ πάντες οἱ ἐν τοῖς μνημείοις ἀκούσουσιν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 καὶ ἐκπορεύσονται, οἱ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ποιήσαντες, εἰς ἀνάστασιν ζωῆς, οἱ δὲ τὰ φαῦλα πράξαντες, εἰς ἀνάστασιν κρίσεως.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 Οὐ δύναμαι ἐγὼ ποιεῖν ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐδέν· καθὼς ἀκούω, κρίνω, καὶ ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ δικαία ἐστίν, ὅτι οὐ ζητῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμὸν, ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με.
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 Ἐὰν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἡ μαρτυρία μου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία ἣν μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Ὑμεῖς ἀπεστάλκατε πρὸς Ἰωάννην, καὶ μεμαρτύρηκεν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ.
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 Ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ παρὰ ἀνθρώπου τὴν μαρτυρίαν λαμβάνω, ἀλλὰ ταῦτα λέγω, ἵνα ὑμεῖς σωθῆτε.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 Ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καὶ φαίνων, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρὸς ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτὶ αὐτοῦ.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 Ἐγὼ δὲ ἔχω τὴν μαρτυρίαν μείζων τοῦ Ἰωάννου, τὰ γὰρ ἔργα ἃ δέδωκέν μοι ὁ Πατὴρ, ἵνα τελειώσω αὐτά, αὐτὰ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιῶ, μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὅτι ὁ Πατήρ με ἀπέσταλκεν.
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 of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 Καὶ ὁ πέμψας με Πατὴρ, ἐκεῖνος μεμαρτύρηκεν περὶ ἐμοῦ. Οὔτε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ πώποτε ἀκηκόατε, οὔτε εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἑωράκατε.
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 Καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε ἐν ὑμῖν μένοντα, ὅτι ὃν ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος, τούτῳ ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετε.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Ἐραυνᾶτε τὰς Γραφάς, ὅτι ὑμεῖς δοκεῖτε ἐν αὐταῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔχειν, καὶ ἐκεῖναί εἰσιν αἱ μαρτυροῦσαι περὶ ἐμοῦ· (aiōnios )
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios )
40 καὶ οὐ θέλετε ἐλθεῖν πρός με, ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχητε.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 Δόξαν παρὰ ἀνθρώπων οὐ λαμβάνω,
I receive not honour from men.
42 ἀλλὰ ἔγνωκα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 Ἐγὼ ἐλήλυθα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Πατρός μου, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετέ με· ἐὰν ἄλλος ἔλθῃ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ, ἐκεῖνον λήμψεσθε.
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 Πῶς δύνασθε ὑμεῖς πιστεῦσαι, δόξαν παρὰ ἀλλήλων λαμβάνοντες, καὶ τὴν δόξαν τὴν παρὰ τοῦ μόνου ˚Θεοῦ, οὐ ζητεῖτε;
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
45 Μὴ δοκεῖτε ὅτι ἐγὼ κατηγορήσω ὑμῶν πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα. Ἔστιν ὁ κατηγορῶν ὑμῶν Μωϋσῆς, εἰς ὃν ὑμεῖς ἠλπίκατε.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 Εἰ γὰρ ἐπιστεύετε Μωϋσεῖ, ἐπιστεύετε ἂν ἐμοί, περὶ γὰρ ἐμοῦ ἐκεῖνος ἔγραψεν.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 Εἰ δὲ τοῖς ἐκείνου γράμμασιν οὐ πιστεύετε, πῶς τοῖς ἐμοῖς ῥήμασιν πιστεύσετε;”
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
