Jọn 5
1 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, otu mmemme ndị Juu ruru, Jisọs agaa Jerusalem.
After these things, there was a feast day of the Jews, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.
2 Ma otu ọdọ mmiri nta dị nʼime Jerusalem nʼakụkụ Ọnụ ụzọ ama Atụrụ. Aha ọdọ mmiri ahụ nʼasụsụ Hibru bụ Betsaida, nke nwere mgbe ọnụ ụzọ ise.
Now at Jerusalem is the Pool of Evidence, which in Hebrew is known as the Place of Mercy; it has five porticos.
3 Nʼime ya ka igwe ndị ahụ na-esighị ike na-edina; ndị ìsì, ndị ngwụrọ, na ndị akụkụ ahụ ha kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, ha na-eche mgbe mmiri ahụ ga-enugharị.
Along these lay a great multitude of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the withered, waiting for the movement of the water.
4 Nʼihi na mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị na-agbadata site na mgbe ruo na mgbe gbarụọ mmiri ahụ. Onye ọrịa ọbụla buru ụzọ daba nʼime mmiri ahụ ma a gbarụọ ya, ka a na-agwọ ihe ọbụla bụ ọrịa ya.
Now at times an Angel of the Lord would descend into the pool, and so the water was moved. And whoever descended first into the pool, after the motion of the water, he was healed of whatever infirmity held him.
5 Otu nwoke nọ nʼebe ahụ bụ onye nọrọla nʼọrịa iri afọ atọ na asatọ.
And there was a certain man in that place, having been in his infirmity for thirty-eight years.
6 Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ ya, matakwa na ọ nọọla nʼọnọdụ a ogologo oge, ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Ị chọrọ ka a gwọọ gị ọrịa?”
Then, when Jesus had seen him reclining, and when he realized that he had been afflicted for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”
7 Onye ọrịa ahụ zara, “Nna m ukwu, enweghị m onye ọbụla ga-enyere m aka kuba m nʼime ọdọ mmiri a ma a gbarụọ ya, mgbe o bụla m chọrọ ka m danye, onye ọzọ na-eburu m ụzọ danye.”
The invalid answered him: “Lord, I do not have any man to put me in the pool, when the water has been stirred. For as I am going, another descends ahead of me.”
8 Jisọs gwara ya, “Bilie, chilie ute gị jegharịa.”
Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your stretcher, and walk.”
9 Nʼotu oge ahụ, ahụ dịrị nwoke ahụ mma, ọ chịlịri ute ya, malite ijegharị. Ihe a mere nʼụbọchị izuike.
And immediately the man was healed. And he took up his stretcher and walked. Now this day was the Sabbath.
10 Ma ndị Juu gwara nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ ọrịa, “Taa bụ ụbọchị izuike, o megidere iwu na ị ga-ebu ute gị.”
Therefore, the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to take up your stretcher.”
11 Ma ọ zaghachiri ha, “Nwoke ahụ mere ka ahụ dị m mma sịrị m, ‘Chilie ute gị laa.’”
He answered them, “The one who healed me, he said to me, ‘Take up your stretcher and walk.’”
12 Ha jụrụ ya, “Onye bụ onye ahụ gwara gị ka ị chilie ya laa?”
Therefore, they questioned him, “Who is that man, who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk?’”
13 Ma nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ amataghị onye ọ bụ nʼihi na Jisọs zoro onwe ya banye nʼetiti igwe mmadụ.
But the one who had been given health did not know who it was. For Jesus had turned aside from the crowd gathered in that place.
14 Emesịa, Jisọs hụrụ ya nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu sị ya, “Lee, e mela ka ahụ dị gị mma, emehiekwala ọzọ ka nke dị njọ karịa nke a hapụ ịbịakwasị gị.”
Afterwards, Jesus found him in the temple, and he said to him: “Behold, you have been healed. Do not choose to sin further, otherwise something worse may happen to you.”
15 Nwoke a siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa gwa ndị Juu na ọ bụ Jisọs gwọrọ ya.
This man went away, and he reported to the Jews that it was Jesus who had given him health.
16 Ya mere, nʼihi na Jisọs na-eme ihe ndị a nʼụbọchị izuike, ndị Juu malitere isogbu ya.
Because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, for he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Nna m na-arụ ọrụ mgbe niile ruo ugbu a, mụ onwe m kwa, ana m arụ ọrụ.”
But Jesus answered them, “Even now, my Father is working, and I am working.”
18 Nʼihi nke a, ndị Juu chọsịrị ike igbu ya. Ọ bụghị naanị na o mebiri ụbọchị izuike, kama ọ na-akpọkwa Chineke Nna ya, sitekwa otu a na-eme ka ya na Chineke hara.
And so, because of this, the Jews were seeking to kill him even more so. For not only did he break the Sabbath, but he even said that God was his Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Jisọs zara ha sị, “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, o nweghị ihe ọbụla Ọkpara pụrụ ime nʼonwe ya; naanị ihe o nwere ike ime bụ ihe ọ hụrụ Nna ya na-eme, nʼihi na ihe ọbụla Nna ahụ na-eme ka Ọkpara ya na-emekwa.
Then Jesus responded and said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything of himself, but only what he has seen the Father doing. For whatever he does, even this does the Son do, similarly.
20 Nʼihi na Nna ahụ hụrụ Ọkpara ya nʼanya ma na-egosikwa ya ihe niile ọ na-eme. Nʼezie ọ ga-agbagwoju unu anya nʼihi na ọ ga-egosi ya ihe karịrị ndị a.
For the Father loves the Son, and he shows him all that he himself does. And greater works than these will he show him, so much so that you shall wonder.
21 Nʼihi na dị ka nna ahụ si akpọte ndị nwụrụ anwụ na-enyekwa ha ndụ, otu ahụ ka Ọkpara ya si enye onye ọbụla ọ masịrị ya ndụ.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wills.
22 Nna anaghị ekpe onye ọbụla ikpe, kama o nyefere ikpe niile nʼaka Ọkpara.
For the Father does not judge anyone. But he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 Ka mmadụ niile nye Ọkpara ahụ nsọpụrụ dị ka ha na-asọpụrụ Nna ahụ. Onye ọbụla nke na-adịghị asọpụrụ Ọkpara ahụ adịghị asọpụrụ Nna nke zitere ya.
so that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.
24 “Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, onye ọbụla na-anụ okwu m ma kwerekwa nʼonye zitere m nwere ndụ ebighị ebi, a gaghị amakwa ya ikpe, ọ gafeela site nʼọnwụ banye na ndụ. (aiōnios g166)
Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has eternal life, and he does not go into judgment, but instead he crosses from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Nʼezie, nʼezie agwa m unu, oge na-abịa, ọ bịakwala ugbu a mgbe ndị nwụrụ anwụ ga-anụ olu Ọkpara Chineke, ndị ahụ nụrụ ya ga-adịkwa ndụ.
Amen, amen, I say to you, that the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear it shall live.
26 Dị ka Nna ahụ nwere ndụ nʼime onwe ya, otu a ka o nyekwara Ọkpara ahụ ike inwe ndụ nʼime onwe ya.
For just as the Father has life in himself, so also has he granted to the Son to have life in himself.
27 O nyekwala ya ikike ikpe ikpe nʼihi na ọ bụ Nwa nke Mmadụ.
And he has given him the authority to accomplish judgment. For he is the Son of man.
28 “Ka nke a hapụ iju unu anya, nʼihi na oge na-abịa, mgbe ndị niile nọ nʼili ha ga-anụ olu ya
Do not be amazed at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of God.
29 ma pụta, ndị mere ihe dị mma ga-ebili dịrị ndụ. Ma ndị mere ihe ọjọọ ga-ebili bụrụ ndị a ga-ama ikpe.
And those who have done good shall go forth to the resurrection of life. Yet truly, those who have done evil shall go to the resurrection of judgment.
30 Enweghị m ike ime ihe ọbụla nʼonwe m, ikpe m na-ekpe bụ naanị dị ka m nụrụ, ikpe m bụkwa nke ziri ezi, nʼihi na anaghị m eme ihe ga-amasị m, kama ọ bụ ihe ga-amasị onye ahụ zitere m.
I am not able to do anything of myself. As I hear, so do I judge. And my judgment is just. For I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
31 “Ọ bụrụ na m na-agba ama banyere onwe m, ama m abụghị eziokwu.
If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true.
32 Enwere m onye ọzọ na-agbara m ama, amatakwara m na ama ya banyere m bụ eziokwu.
There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true.
33 “Unu zigaara Jọn ndị ozi, ọ gbakwaala ama maka eziokwu ahụ.
You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth.
34 Ọ bụghị na m na-anabata ama nke mmadụ, kama a na m ekwu ya ka enwe ike ịzọpụta unu.
But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved.
35 Ọ bụ oriọna nke na-enwu na-amụkekwa, unu họrọkwara ịṅụrị ọṅụ nʼìhè ya nʼoge nta.
He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light.
36 “Ma e nwere m ama dị ukwuu karịa nke Jọn, nʼihi na ọrụ ahụ ya bụ Nna nyere m ka m rụchapụ, bụkwa nke m na-arụ, na-agbara m ama na ọ bụ Nna ahụ zitere m.
But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me.
37 Ya bụ Nna ahụ zitere m na-agbakwa ama nʼonwe ya banyere m. Unu anụbeghị olu maọbụ hụ ụdịdị ya.
And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance.
38 Okwu ya anọkwaghị nʼime unu nʼihi na unu ekweghị nʼonye o zitere.
And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe.
39 Unu na-enyocha akwụkwọ nsọ nʼihi na unu chere na unu ga-esite na ha nwee ndụ ebighị ebi maọbụ ha na-agba ama banyere m. (aiōnios g166)
Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Ma unu jụrụ ịbịakwute m ka unu nwee ndụ.
And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life.
41 “Anaghị m anabata otuto nke ụmụ mmadụ.
I do not accept glory from men.
42 Ma amatara m na unu enweghị ịhụnanya Chineke nʼobi unu.
But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 Abịala m nʼaha Nna m ma unu anabataghị m. Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọzọ abịa nʼaha nke onwe ya, unu ga-anabata ya.
I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept.
44 Olee otu unu ga-esi kwere ebe unu na-anara otuto site nʼaka ibe unu, ma unu adịghị achọ otuto nke si nʼaka onye naanị ya bụ Chineke?
How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone?
45 “Unu echela na m ga-ebo unu ebubo nʼihu Nna ahụ. Onye ga-ebo unu ebubo bụ Mosis, bụ onye unu tụkwasịrị obi na ya.
Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you hope.
46 Ọ bụrụ na unu kwenyeere Mosis, unu gakwara ekwere na m, nʼihi na o dere banyere m.
For if you were believing in Moses, perhaps you would believe in me also. For he wrote about me.
47 Ma ebe unu na-ekweghị nʼihe o dere, olee otu unu ga-esi kwere nʼihe m kwuru?”
But if you do not believe by his writings, how will you believe by my words?”
