Iohannem 5
1 Post hæc erat dies festus Judæorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam.
After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Est autem Jerosolymis probatica piscina, quæ cognominatur hebraice Bethsaida, quinque porticus habens.
Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
3 In his jacebat multitudo magna languentium, cæcorum, claudorum, aridorum, exspectantium aquæ motum.
In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4 Angelus autem Domini descendebat secundum tempus in piscinam, et movebatur aqua. Et qui prior descendisset in piscinam post motionem aquæ, sanus fiebat a quacumque detinebatur infirmitate.
for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 Erat autem quidam homo ibi triginta et octo annos habens in infirmitate sua.
A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 Hunc autem cum vidisset Jesus jacentem, et cognovisset quia jam multum tempus haberet, dicit ei: Vis sanus fieri?
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 Respondit ei languidus: Domine, hominem non habeo, ut, cum turbata fuerit aqua, mittat me in piscinam: dum venio enim ego, alius ante me descendit.
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 coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Dicit ei Jesus: Surge, tolle grabatum tuum et ambula.
Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9 Et statim sanus factus est homo ille: et sustulit grabatum suum, et ambulabat. Erat autem sabbatum in die illo.
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
10 Dicebant ergo Judæi illi qui sanatus fuerat: Sabbatum est, non licet tibi tollere grabatum tuum.
So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11 Respondit eis: Qui me sanum fecit, ille mihi dixit: Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula.
He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12 Interrogaverunt ergo eum: Quis est ille homo qui dixit tibi: Tolle grabatum tuum et ambula?
Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?”
13 Is autem qui sanus fuerat effectus, nesciebat quis esset. Jesus enim declinavit a turba constituta in loco.
But he who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14 Postea invenit eum Jesus in templo, et dixit illi: Ecce sanus factus es; jam noli peccare, ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat.
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
15 Abiit ille homo, et nuntiavit Judæis quia Jesus esset, qui fecit eum sanum.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Propterea persequebantur Judæi Jesum, quia hæc faciebat in sabbato.
For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Jesus autem respondit eis: Pater meus usque modo operatur, et ego operor.
But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18 Propterea ergo magis quærebant eum Judæi interficere: quia non solum solvebat sabbatum, sed et patrem suum dicebat Deum, æqualem se faciens Deo. Respondit itaque Jesus, et dixit eis:
For this cause therefore the Jews 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 Amen, amen dico vobis: non potest Filius a se facere quidquam, nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem: quæcumque enim ille fecerit, hæc et Filius similiter facit.
Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, 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 Pater enim diligit Filium, et omnia demonstrat ei quæ ipse facit: et majora his demonstrabit ei opera, ut vos miremini.
For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
21 Sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos, et vivificat, sic et Filius, quos vult, vivificat.
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 Neque enim Pater judicat quemquam: sed omne judicium dedit Filio,
For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 ut omnes honorificent Filium, sicut honorificant Patrem; qui non honorificat Filium, non honorificat Patrem, qui misit illum.
that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
24 Amen, amen dico vobis, quia qui verbum meum audit, et credit ei qui misit me, habet vitam æternam, et in judicium non venit, sed transiit a morte in vitam. (aiōnios g166)
"Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has consummate (aiōnios g166) life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
25 Amen, amen dico vobis, quia venit hora, et nunc est, quando mortui audient vocem Filii Dei: et qui audierint, vivent.
Most certainly 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 Sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semetipso, sic dedit et Filio habere vitam in semetipso:
For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 et potestatem dedit ei judicium facere, quia Filius hominis est.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28 Nolite mirari hoc, quia venit hora in qua omnes qui in monumentis sunt audient vocem Filii Dei:
Do not marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
29 et procedent qui bona fecerunt, in resurrectionem vitæ; qui vero mala egerunt, in resurrectionem judicii.
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 Non possum ego a meipso facere quidquam. Sicut audio, judico: et judicium meum justum est, quia non quæro voluntatem meam, sed voluntatem ejus qui misit me.
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 my Father who sent me.
31 Si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, testimonium meum non est verum.
“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Alius est qui testimonium perhibet de me: et scio quia verum est testimonium, quod perhibet de me.
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 Vos misistis ad Joannem, et testimonium perhibuit veritati.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Ego autem non ab homine testimonium accipio: sed hæc dico ut vos salvi sitis.
But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Ille erat lucerna ardens et lucens: vos autem voluistis ad horam exsultare in luce ejus.
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 Ego autem habeo testimonium majus Joanne. Opera enim quæ dedit mihi Pater ut perficiam ea: ipsa opera, quæ ego facio, testimonium perhibent de me, quia Pater misit me:
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 et qui misit me Pater, ipse testimonium perhibuit de me: neque vocem ejus umquam audistis, neque speciem ejus vidistis:
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens: quia quem misit ille, huic vos non creditis.
You do not have his word living in you, because you do not believe him whom he sent.
39 Scrutamini Scripturas, quia vos putatis in ipsis vitam æternam habere: et illæ sunt quæ testimonium perhibent de me: (aiōnios g166)
"You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have consummate (aiōnios g166) life; and these are they which testify about me.
40 et non vultis venire ad me ut vitam habeatis.
Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41 Claritatem ab hominibus non accipio.
I do not receive glory from men.
42 Sed cognovi vos, quia dilectionem Dei non habetis in vobis.
But I know you, that you do not have God’s love in yourselves.
43 Ego veni in nomine Patris mei, et non accipitis me; si alius venerit in nomine suo, illum accipietis.
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 Quomodo vos potestis credere, qui gloriam ab invicem accipitis, et gloriam quæ a solo Deo est, non quæritis?
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Nolite putare quia ego accusaturus sim vos apud Patrem: est qui accusat vos Moyses, in quo vos speratis.
“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 Si enim crederetis Moysi, crederetis forsitan et mihi: de me enim ille scripsit.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Si autem illius litteris non creditis, quomodo verbis meis credetis?
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
