Joni 5
1 Ana maka'zama higeno agateretegeno, Jiu vahe'mo'za mono nehaza kna fore higeno, Jisasi'a Jerusalemi kumate mareri'ne.
Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem when the Jews were having [another] celebration.
2 Jerusalemi kuma'mofo kaha hagente'za, Sipisipi Kafane hu'naza tavaonte mago tiru me'nege'za, Hibru kefina Betsaida hu'za nehaze. Anantera 5fu'a hanko no kinte'naze.
At one of the gates [into the city] called the Sheep Gate, there is a pool. In our language we call it Bethzatha. [Around the pool] were five open areas with roofs over them.
3 Ana hanko nontera hakare'a kri vahera mase'za mani'naze, zamusuhu vahe'ene zamagia krere hu'nea vahe'ene zamaga zamaza sti'nea vahe'ene mani'naze.
Many people were lying there. They were people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
5 Mago nera 38'a kafufi kri eri'nea ne', ana tirutera mani'ne.
One of those who was there had been paralyzed for 38 years.
6 Anante maseno mani'negeno Jisasi'a negeno, za'za kna ana krifina mase'ne huno antahi'ne. Jisasi'a anage huno asami'ne, Kagesama antahinana krika'a knare hugantesie hunka nentahino?
Jesus saw him lying there and found out that the man had been like that for a long time. He said to the man, “Do you want to become well?”
7 Ana kri ne'mo kenona'a asmino, Ra vahe'moka timoma kazama nehanigeno navareno ome nantesia vahera omani'nege'na, ana'ana hu'na nevuge'za rumo'za tirupina nagtere'za unermize.
The paralyzed man replied to him, “[Yes], sir, [I want to get well, but] there is no one to help me get down into the pool when the water is stirred {stirs}. While I am trying to get [to the pool], someone else always gets there before me.”
8 Jisasi'a nentahino ana neku huno, Otinka, tafeka'a renamginka e'nerinka vuo.
Jesus said to him, “Get up! Then pick up your mat and walk!”
9 Hantaka huno kri'amo atrentegeno, tafe'a erirenamgino e'nerino otino agafa huno kana vu'ne. Ana kna mani fruhu kna (Sabat) zupa ana kaguvazana hu'ne.
The man immediately was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking! The day on which this happened was a Jewish day of rest.
10 Ana hige'za Jiu kva vahe'mo'za kri'ama eri amne huntea ne' antahige'naze, menina mani fruhu (Sabat) kna meno nagru hu'neankinka, naverisaka'a erinka vano osugahane.
So the Jewish [leaders] said to the man who had been healed, “Today is (the Sabbath/our rest day), and [in our Jewish] laws [it is written that people should not work on our] ([Sabbath/rest day]), so you should not be carrying your mat!”
11 Hianagi ana ne'mo'a huno, Kri'nima eri amne hu'nea ne'mo'a nasamino, tafeka'a erinka vuo huno hunante'ne.
The man replied to them, “The man who healed me, he himself said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’”
12 Zamagra anage hu'za agrira antahige'naze, Iza ana nera huganteno, tafeka'a erinka vuo huno hugante'ne?
They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk!’?”
13 Hianagi azeri so'ema hunte'nea ne'mo'a, iza anara hu'neo antahino keno osu'ne, na'ankure Jisasi'a maka vahepi ruhavia huno vu'ne.
But since Jesus had disappeared in the crowd [without telling the man his name], the man did not know who it was [who had healed him].
14 Henka Jisasi'a ana nera ra mono nompi ome kefore huno asmi'ne, Ko, krika'a hago vagare, mago'ene kumira osuo, e'inama hanunka tusi'a knaza henka'a erigahane.
Later, Jesus found the man in the Temple [courtyard]. He [told the man his name, and] said to him, “Listen! You are healed! So stop sinning! If you do not stop sinning, something will happen to you that will be worse [than the illness you had before]!”
15 Ana ne'mo'a atreno viazamo, Jiu vahera ome zamasmino, Jisasi kri'ni'a eri amane hunante'ne huno zamasmi'ne.
The man went away and told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] that it was Jesus who had healed him.
16 E'inage hige'za, Jiu kva vahe'mo'za agafa hu'za Jisasina azeri haviza hu'naze, na'ankure ana zantamina mago'a mani fruhu kna (Sabat) zupa hu'nea zante ana hu'naze.
So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] started to harass Jesus, because Jesus was doing these things (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day).
17 Hianagi Agra zamasmino, Nenfa'a meninena eri'zana otreno e'neriankina, Nagra'nena eri'zana enerue.
Then Jesus replied to them, “My Father has always been working every day, [including] ([the Sabbath/the day of rest]), up until now. I am doing the same thing!”
18 E'i ana agafare, Jiu kva vahe'mo'za Agri ahenaku maraguza'ati'za maka kanku hakre'naze. Na'ankure Agra mani fruhu kasege hantagia zantekukera ana osu'naze. Hagi agra Anumzanku Nenfa'ema hiazamo, agrira azeri Anumzane mago tragave hia zante'ene ahenaku hu'naze.
The Jewish leaders [SYN] considered that he was disobeying their rules about (the Sabbath/the day of rest), and that by saying that God was his Father, he was making himself equal with God. And they considered that both these things were grounds for killing him. So they tried even harder to find a way to kill him.
19 E'inage hazageno Jisasi kenona zamirera amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagra tamagerafa hu'na neramasamue, Nemofo'a Agra'a avesitera mago'zana hugara osu'neankino, ke'nesigeno Nefa'ma huveri'nesia zanke, Nemofo'a ana zanke hugahie.
Jesus replied to them by saying, “You need to know this: I can do nothing by my own [authority]. I do only the [kind of] things that I see [my] Father doing. Whatever kinds of things my Father is doing, those are the things I am doing.
20 Na'ankure Nenfa'a, Nemofona avesinenteno, Agra maka'zama nehia zana averi nehie. Ana nehuno Nefa'a agatereno tusi'aza averi hugahie. Anama hanigeta tamagra antri hugahaze.
[My] Father loves me, and he shows me everything that he is doing. He will show me [the miracles] that [he wants me to do] that will be greater than the ones that [you have already seen me do], so that you may be amazed.
21 Na'ankure Nefa'a fri' vahe'ma zamazeri otino, asimu nezmia kna huno, Nemofo'a azano, Agri'ma avesi'nimofona asimura amigahie.
[For example], just like [my] Father causes people who have died to become alive again, I will give [eternal] life to everyone that I want to.
22 Na'ankure Nenfa'a Agra veara refko osugahie. Hagi maka vahe'ma refko hu'zana, Nemofo ami'ne.
Furthermore, [my] Father is not the one who judges people [concerning their sins]. Instead, he has given to me the work of judging people,
23 Ana hina maka'mo'za nefa agima eri sga nehazankna huza Nemofo agi'a erisaga hugahaze. Aza'o Nemofo agima erisaga osanimo'a, huntegeno'ma e'nea Nefana, anazanke huno agi'a erisaga nosie.
in order that all people may honor me, just like they honor [my] Father. [My] Father [considers that] anyone who does not honor me is not honoring [him], the one who sent me.
24 Nagra tamage hu'na neramasmue, aza'o Nagri nanekema nentahino hunantege'na e'nomofonte amentinti nehimo'a manivava asimu eri'neankino, vahe'ma refko hania knafina, fri'zana agatereno ko asimu erino mani'ne. (aiōnios g166)
Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Nagra tamage hu'na neramasmue, knamo'a kofta huno ne-eno hago menina ama efore hu'ne, fri'naza vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo Ne' mofavremofo ageru nentahi'za, ana ageru'ma antahisnamo'za manigahaze.
Listen to this carefully: There will be a time when those who are (spiritually dead/separated from God) will hear the voice of me, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). In fact, it is that time already. Those who hear [and pay attention to my message] will have [eternal] life.
26 Na'ankure Nefa'a asimu erino mani'zamofo agafa'a Agripi me'ne. Nemofona anahu kna huno asimu erino mani'zamofo agafa'a Agri ami'ne.
[My] Father has [power to] make things live. Similarly, he has given me the [power to enable] people to live [eternally].
27 Ana nehuno Agra Nemofona kema hugnare hunte hanavea (atoriti) ami'neankino, vahe'ma refko hu'zana Agri ami'ne, na'ankure Agra Vahe'mofo Mofavre.
Because I am the one who came from heaven, he has given me the authority to judge people [concerning their sins].
28 Ama kegura antria osiho, na'ankure mago knama fore'ma hina kerifi asezamante'naza vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo Mofavre'agerura antahi'za,
Do not be surprised about that, because there will be a time when all people who have died will hear my voice,
29 oti'za esnageno knare avu'ava hu'nesaza naga'mo'za, oti'za kasefa mani'za erigahaze. Hagi kefo avu'avazampi mani'ne'za fri'ne hanamokizmia, refako huno naneke huzmantegahie.
and they will become alive again. Those who have lived good [lives] will rise [from their graves] and live forever. But those who have lived evil lives will rise, and I will (condemn them/declare that I will punish them [for their sins]).
30 Nagra navesitera mago'zana osugahue. Anumzamofo ke nentahi'na anante zaganena refko nehue. Ana kema refko'ma huana mago kante ante'na refko nehue. Na'ankure Nagra navesi'zantera kenontoe, hagi Agrama hunantege'na e'nomofo avesite refkoa nehue.
I do not do anything [like that] by my own authority. I judge people only according to what I hear [my Father tell me]. I will judge people fairly, because I do not want to please only myself. Instead, I want to please [my Father], who sent me.
31 Hagi Nagrama, tamage nehue hu'na Nagrani'agu huama hanuana, Nagra havige hugahue.
If I were the [only] one to tell people about myself, [people could rightly say that] what I say is not true.
32 Hianagi Nagri nagenkema rumo huama (testimoni) nehige'na, Agrama Nagriku huama hianke nentahi'na, tamage nehie hu'na nehue.
But there is someone else who tells people about me. And I know that what he tells people about me is true.
33 Tamagra Joninte vahe huzmantage'za ome antahi'nazana, Joni'a tamage nanekege huzmasmi'ne.
As for you, when you sent messengers to John [the Baptizer to ask about me], he told the truth [about me].
34 Hu'neanagi Nagrama hua kema azeri haveti kea mopafi vahe'mo'za antemiza hugahaze hu'na antahi nozamue. Hianagi Nagrama nehuana tamagri'ma tamaza huno tamagu vazinigu nehue.
I do not [need that] people tell others [about me]. But instead, I am reminding [you about what John told people about me], in order that you will [believe it and] be saved {[God] will save you}.
35 Joni'a lampe tavi kna huno tavi'nereno remsa hurmantegeta, ana tavikura osasi'a knafi tamagu'a musena hu'naze.
[John’s message about me] (OR, [John]) [MET] was [like] a lamp that shines brightly. For a short while you were willing to be made happy [by that message] {to let [that message] make you happy}.
36 Hianagi Nagrama hanua navu'navamo'a, Joni'ma hu'nea avu'ava zana agatere'ne. Na'ankure Nenfa'ma nami'nea eri'za Nagra eri vagaresanugu e'neruankino, ana eri'zama e'nerua eri'zamo, Nagrira veamokzimi zamavurera eriama huno Nafa'nimo hunantege'na e'noe huno nehie. Na'ankure Nafa'nimo hunantege'na e'noe.
But there is something else that tells you about me. [It should prove who I am] more than what John [said about me]. The miracles [PRS] that [my] Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.
37 Nenfa'ma hunantege'na Nagrama e'noana, Nagriku huama Agra hu'ne. Hianagi tamagra mago'a knarera Agri agerura ontahitma, avugosa onke'naze.
Furthermore, [my] Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.
38 Agri nanekemo'a tamagri tamagu'afina omne'ne, na'ankure Agrama hunantege'na Nagrama e'nogura, tamagra tamentintia Agritera nosaze.
Furthermore, you have not believed in [me], the one he sent. So you have not [believed] his message in your inner beings.
39 Tamagra Anumzamofo avontafepi nehakraze, na'ankure tamagra mani'vava mani'zana hago eri'none hutma nentahize. Hianagi e'i ana avontafemo'a Nagriku huama nehie. (aiōnios g166)
You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios g166)
40 Hianagi Nagrite'ma e'netma tamasimu eri'zankura tamagrira tamavesra nehie.
But you refuse (to come to me/to believe my message) in order that you may have [eternal] life.
41 Nagrira vahe'mo'za nagi erisaga (glori) hihogura nosue.
It does not [matter to] me whether people praise me.
42 Hianagi Nagra tamagrira tamage'na antahi'na hu'noe, Anumzamofo avesinte'zana tamagri tamagu'afina omane'ne.
But you [want people to praise you]. I know that within yourselves you do not love God.
43 Nagra Nenfa agifi e'nogeta tamagra nonavraze, hagi mago'mo agra agire'ma esanimofona ame huta avregahaze.
Although I have come to earth with my Father’s authority [MTY], you do not accept me. But if someone else comes with his own authority [MTY], you accept him!
44 Tamagra inankna huta tamentintia hugahaze, tamagri'ma ru vahe'mo'za tamagima erisaga nehazana, magoke Anumzamo tamagri'ma muse huramante'sia zankura ohakre'gahazo?
You accept your praising each other, but you do not try to do things that will result in God himself praising you. So (there is no way you can believe [in me]!/how can you believe [my message]?) [RHQ]
45 Nefante naneke hurantegahie hutma Nagrikura tamagesa ontahiho, kema hurmantesia nera Mosese'e, Mosesente tamentintina huta taza hugahie huta hu'naze.
But do not think that I am the one who will accuse you while [my] Father is listening! No, it is Moses who will accuse you! You thought that he would [defend you].
46 Hianagi tamagrama tamage hutma Mosesente'ma tamentinti hunetasina, Nagrite ene tamentinti hazasine, na'ankure agrama kre'neana, Nagriku huno kre'ne.
Moses wrote about me, so if you had believed what he [wrote], you would have believed what I [said]
47 Hianagi Mosesema kre'nea nanekema tamentinti osanutma, inankna huta tamagra Nagri nanekegura tamentintia hugahaze?
But because you did not believe what he wrote [about me], (you will certainly not believe what I say!/how will you believe what I say?) [RHQ]”
