Jọn 5
1 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, otu mmemme ndị Juu ruru, Jisọs agaa Jerusalem.
After these things there was the feast of the Jews, so Jesus went up 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 in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool called Bethesda, in Hebrew, which has five porches.
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.
In them a large number of sick people were lying—blind, lame, paralyzed—waiting for the moving 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.
because an angel would go down from time to time into the pool and stir up the water—then the first one to get in after the stirring of the water became well of whatever disease that was holding him.
5 Otu nwoke nọ nʼebe ahụ bụ onye nọrọla nʼọrịa iri afọ atọ na asatọ.
Now there was a certain man there who had been sick for 38 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?”
Seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been sick a long time, Jesus says to him, “Do you want to get well?”
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 sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to throw me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming another gets in before me.”
8 Jisọs gwara ya, “Bilie, chilie ute gị jegharịa.”
Jesus says to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk!”
9 Nʼotu oge ahụ, ahụ dịrị nwoke ahụ mma, ọ chịlịri ute ya, malite ijegharị. Ihe a mere nʼụbọchị izuike.
Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and started to walk!
10 Ma ndị Juu gwara nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ ọrịa, “Taa bụ ụbọchị izuike, o megidere iwu na ị ga-ebu ute gị.”
But that day was a Sabbath, so the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It's the Sabbath! You aren't allowed to carry the pallet.”
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 made me well—He said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”
12 Ha jụrụ ya, “Onye bụ onye ahụ gwara gị ka ị chilie ya laa?”
So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”
13 Ma nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ amataghị onye ọ bụ nʼihi na Jisọs zoro onwe ya banye nʼetiti igwe mmadụ.
But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared, there being a crowd in the 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.”
After these things Jesus found him in the temple and said to him: “See, you are well. Don't sin any more, so that something worse doesn't happen to you.”
15 Nwoke a siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa gwa ndị Juu na ọ bụ Jisọs gwọrọ ya.
The man went off and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Ya mere, nʼihi na Jisọs na-eme ihe ndị a nʼụbọchị izuike, ndị Juu malitere isogbu ya.
So because of this the Jews began persecuting Jesus and trying to kill Him, because 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, “Until now, my Father works, I also work.”
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.
So because of this they wanted to kill Him all the more, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath but was even saying that God was His own Father, making Himself equal with 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 answered and said to them: “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, except something He sees the Father doing; because whatever things He does, precisely these the Son also does.
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 shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.
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.
Now just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, just so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.
22 Nna anaghị ekpe onye ọbụla ikpe, kama o nyefere ikpe niile nʼaka Ọkpara.
In fact the Father does not judge anyone but has committed all the judging 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 will 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)
“Most assuredly I say to you that the one listening to my word and believing on Him who sent me has eternal life; he will not go into judging but has moved out of the death into the 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.
“Most assuredly I say to you that a time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of the God, and those who listen will live.
26 Dị ka Nna ahụ nwere ndụ nʼime onwe ya, otu a ka o nyekwara Ọkpara ahụ ike inwe ndụ nʼime onwe ya.
Because just as the Father has life in Himself, just so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;
27 O nyekwala ya ikike ikpe ikpe nʼihi na ọ bụ Nwa nke Mmadụ.
furthermore He gave Him the authority to pass judgment, because He is 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 marvel at this, because a time is coming in which all those in the graves will hear His voice
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 will come out—those who did good things into the resurrection of life, but those who practiced evil things into the resurrection of condemnation.
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 from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judging is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 “Ọ bụrụ na m na-agba ama banyere onwe m, ama m abụghị eziokwu.
“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.
32 Enwere m onye ọzọ na-agbara m ama, amatakwara m na ama ya banyere m bụ eziokwu.
There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that He gives about me is true.
33 “Unu zigaara Jọn ndị ozi, ọ gbakwaala ama maka eziokwu ahụ.
You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
34 Ọ bụghị na m na-anabata ama nke mmadụ, kama a na m ekwu ya ka enwe ike ịzọpụta unu.
Yet I do not accept the testimony from a man; but 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.
That man was a burning, shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to be glad 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 have a greater testimony than John's, because the works that the Father gave me to complete—the very works that I am doing—they testify 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.
“Further, the Father who sent me has Himself testified about me. You have neither heard His voice nor seen His form at any time.
38 Okwu ya anọkwaghị nʼime unu nʼihi na unu ekweghị nʼonye o zitere.
Nor do you have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe on the very one whom He sent.
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)
You examine the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life, yet they are the very ones that testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Ma unu jụrụ ịbịakwute m ka unu nwee ndụ.
But 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 people.
42 Ma amatara m na unu enweghị ịhụnanya Chineke nʼobi unu.
Rather I have come to know you, that you do not have the love of God in 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 my Father's name and you do not receive me; should another come in his own name, him you will receive.
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 can you believe, who receive glory from men and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
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 suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. Moses is the one who accuses you, on whom you have set your hope.
46 Ọ bụrụ na unu kwenyeere Mosis, unu gakwara ekwere na m, nʼihi na o dere banyere m.
Because if you really believed Moses you would believe me, because he wrote about me.
47 Ma ebe unu na-ekweghị nʼihe o dere, olee otu unu ga-esi kwere nʼihe m kwuru?”
But since you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my sayings?”
