Jan 5
1 Apre bagay sa yo, te gen yon fèt Jwif, e Jésus te monte a Jérusalem.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 La nan Jérusalem toupre pòtay mouton an, gen yon basen dlo ke yo rele Béthesda, ki te gen senk galeri kouvri.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Nan sa yo te kouche sa yo ki te malad, avèg, oswa paralize ki t ap tann mouvman dlo a.
In these lay a great multitude of weak folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 Paske yon zanj Senyè a te konn vini nan sèten sezon, epi antre nan basen an, epi vire dlo a. Konsa, sila ki te antre nan dlo a an premye lè dlo a vire te vin geri de nenpòt maladi ke li te genyen.
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 made whole of whatever disease he had.
5 Alò yon sèten mesye ki te gen yon maladi depi trant-uit ane te la.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Lè Jésus te wè l kouche la, epi te konnen ke li te konsa depi anpil tan, Li te di l “Èske ou ta renmen geri?”
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he says to him, Will you be made whole?
7 Mesye malad la te reponn Li: “Mesye, mwen pa gen moun pou mete m nan dlo a lè l vire, men lè m ap vini, yon lòt gen tan mache desann avan m.”
The weak 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 steps down before me.
8 Jésus te di l “Leve, pran kabann ou, epi mache!”
Jesus says to him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk.
9 Imedyatman, nonm nan te geri, te pran kabann li, epi te kòmanse mache. Jou sa a se te jou Saba.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Pou sa Jwif yo t ap di Li “Se jou Saba a. Li pa pèmi pou ou pote kabann ou konsa.”
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
11 Men li te reponn yo: “Li menm ki te geri m nan, se Li menm ki di m ‘Pran kabann ou mache.’”
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said to me, Take up your bed, and walk.
12 Yo te mande li: “Ki moun sa ki te di ou ‘Pran kabann ou mache a?’
Then asked they him, What man is that which said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?
13 Men li menm ki te geri pa t konnen ki moun Li te ye, paske Jésus te chape ale pandan yo te gen yon foul sou plas.
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Apre, Jésus te twouve li nan tanp lan, e te di l: “Gade, ou gen tan geri. Pa peche ankò pou anyen pi mal pa vin tonbe sou ou.”
Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to you.
15 Nonm nan te ale e te di Jwif yo ke se te Jésus ki te geri li.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 Alò pou rezon sa a, Jwif yo t ap pèsekite Jésus, paske Li t ap fè bagay sa yo nan Saba a.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 Men Li te reponn yo e te di: “Papa M ap travay jis koulye a, e Mwen menm ap travay tou.”
But Jesus answered them, My Father works till now, and I work.
18 Men pou rezon sa, Jwif yo t ap chache plis pou yo ta kab touye L, paske non sèlman Li t ap vyole Saba a, men osi Li t ap rele Bondye Papa Li, ki te fè Li vin egal avèk Bondye.
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 Pou sa, Jésus te reponn e te di yo: “Anverite, anverite, Mwen di nou, Fis la pa kapab fè anyen pou kont Li, sof ke se yon bagay ke Li wè Papa a ap fè. Paske sa ke Papa a fè, Fis la ap fè yo menm jan an.
Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 Paske Papa a renmen Fis la, epi montre Li tout bagay ke Li menm ap fè. Epi pi gwo travay pase sa, Li va montre Li, pou nou etone.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 Paske menm jan an ke Papa a leve mò yo pou bay yo lavi, menm jan an Fis la osi bay lavi a sa ke Li vle.
For as the Father raises up the dead, and vivifies them; even so the Son vivifies whom he will.
22 “Paske menm Papa a pa jije pèsòn, men Li te bay tout jijman a Fis la,
For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:
23 Pou tout moun kapab bay onè a Fis la, menm jan ke yo onore Papa a. Moun ki pa onore Fis la, pa onore Papa a ki te voye Li a.
That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 “Anverite, Anverite, Mwen di nou, moun ki tande pawòl Mwen, epi kwè Li menm ki te voye Mwen an, genyen lavi etènèl, epi pa p vini nan jijman, men li gen tan kite lanmò, pou antre nan lavi. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 “Anverite, Anverite Mwen di nou ke lè ap vini e koulye a gen tan rive, lè mò yo tande vwa a Fis Bondye a. Epi sa yo ki tande ap viv.
Truly, truly, 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 “Paske menm jan ke Papa a gen lavi nan Li menm, menm jan an Li te bay Fis la osi pou gen lavi nan Li menm.
For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 Li te bay Li otorite pou egzekite jijman, paske Li menm se Fis a Lòm nan.
And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 “Pa fè sezisman pou sa, paske yon lè ap vini lè tout moun sa yo ki nan tonbo yo ap tande vwa Li,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 epi ap vin parèt. Sa yo ki te fè sa ki bon ap resisite a lavi, e sa yo ki te fè sa ki mal ap resisite pou jijman.
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 “Mwen pa kapab fè anyen pou kont Mwen. Sa ke Mwen tande, Mwen jije; epi jijman Mwen jis, paske Mwen pa chache volonte pa M, men volonte a Li menm, ki te voye Mwen an.
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 which has sent me.
31 “Si Mwen sèl fè temwayaj a Mwen menm, temwayaj la p ap vrè.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Gen yon lòt moun ki pote temwayaj Mwen, epi M konnen ke temwayaj ke Li pote sou Mwen menm nan vrè.
There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 “Ou te voye kote Jean, epi Li te bay temwayaj a verite a.
You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 Men temwayaj ke Mwen resevwa a pa sòti nan lòm, men Mwen di nou bagay sa yo pou nou kapab sove.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
35 “Li menm li te lanp ki t a brile a, ki te limen pou klere, epi nou te rejwi pou yon tan nan limyè pa l la.
He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 “Men temwayaj ke Mwen genyen an pi gwo ke temwayaj Jean an. Paske zèv ke Papa a te ban M pou acheve yo, menm zèv ke Mwen fè yo, temwaye de Mwen menm, ke Papa a te voye M.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 E Papa a ki te voye M nan, Li pote temwayaj de Mwen. Nou menm pa janm tande vwa Li nan okenn tan, ni nou pa janm wè fòm Li.
And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 “E nou pa gen pawòl Li nan nou, pwiske nou pa kwè Sila ke Li te voye a.
And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Nou chache tout Ekriti Sen yo paske nou kwè ke nan yo menm nou gen lavi etènèl. E se yo menm ki temwaye de Mwen menm. (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 “Malgre, nou pa dakò pou vin kote M pou nou ta kapab gen lavi.
And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
41 “Mwen pa resevwa glwa ki sòti nan lòm.
I receive not honor from men.
42 Men Mwen konnen nou, ke nou pa genyen lamou Bondye nan nou menm.
But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
43 “Mwen te vini nan non Papa M, e nou pa resevwa M. “Men si yon lòt vini nan pwòp non pa l, li menm nou va resevwa l.
I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44 Kijan nou kapab kwè lè nou resevwa glwa ki sòti nan youn anvè lòt, e nou pa chache glwa a ki sòti sèlman nan sèl Bondye ki genyen an.
How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
45 “Pa panse ke Mwen va akize nou devan Papa a. Sila a k ap akize nou an se Moïse, nan kilès nou gen tan mete espwa nou.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust.
46 “Paske si nou te kwè Moïse, nou t ap kwè Mwen, paske li te ekri selon Mwen menm.
For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 Men si nou pa kwè sa ke li te ekri, kijan nou va kwè pawòl pa Mwen yo.”
But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
