Jan 5
1 Apre bagay sa yo, te gen yon fèt Jwif, e Jésus te monte a Jérusalem.
After these things, there was a Jewish festival, 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 in Jerusalem by the sheep area there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beth Hesda," 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 multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
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.
5 Alò yon sèten mesye ki te gen yon maladi depi trant-uit ane te la.
A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-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 lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"
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 sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am on my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."
8 Jésus te di l “Leve, pran kabann ou, epi mache!”
Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
9 Imedyatman, nonm nan te geri, te pran kabann li, epi te kòmanse mache. Jou sa a se te jou Saba.
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
10 Pou sa Jwif yo t ap di Li “Se jou Saba a. Li pa pèmi pou ou pote kabann ou konsa.”
So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."
11 Men li te reponn yo: “Li menm ki te geri m nan, se Li menm ki di m ‘Pran kabann ou mache.’”
But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
12 Yo te mande li: “Ki moun sa ki te di ou ‘Pran kabann ou mache a?’
Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up 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.
But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.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 found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
15 Nonm nan te ale e te di Jwif yo ke se te Jésus ki te geri li.
The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Alò pou rezon sa a, Jwif yo t ap pèsekite Jésus, paske Li t ap fè bagay sa yo nan Saba a.
For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Men Li te reponn yo e te di: “Papa M ap travay jis koulye a, e Mwen menm ap travay tou.”
But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
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.
For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders 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 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.
Jesus therefore answered them, "Truly, truly, 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 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 he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, so 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 the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 “Paske menm Papa a pa jije pèsòn, men Li te bay tout jijman a Fis la,
For the Father judges no one, but he has given 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 may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who 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 tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into 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 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 “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, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 Li te bay Li otorite pou egzekite jijman, paske Li menm se Fis a Lòm nan.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, 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,
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will 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 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 “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 myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.
31 “Si Mwen sèl fè temwayaj a Mwen menm, temwayaj la p ap vrè.
"If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Gen yon lòt moun ki pote temwayaj Mwen, epi M konnen ke temwayaj ke Li pote sou Mwen menm nan vrè.
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 “Ou te voye kote Jean, epi Li te bay temwayaj a verite a.
You have sent to John, and he has testified 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 the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may 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 the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while 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 the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, 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 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.
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 “E nou pa gen pawòl Li nan nou, pwiske nou pa kwè Sila ke Li te voye a.
You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
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)
You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have everlasting life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 “Malgre, nou pa dakò pou vin kote M pou nou ta kapab gen lavi.
But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.
41 “Mwen pa resevwa glwa ki sòti nan lòm.
I do not receive glory from people.
42 Men Mwen konnen nou, ke nou pa genyen lamou Bondye nan nou menm.
But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.
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 have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
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, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
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 who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46 “Paske si nou te kwè Moïse, nou t ap kwè Mwen, paske li te ekri selon Mwen menm.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Men si nou pa kwè sa ke li te ekri, kijan nou va kwè pawòl pa Mwen yo.”
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
