Yoane 5
1 Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na feti moko ya Bayuda.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Nzokande, kuna na Yelusalemi, pene ya Ekuke ya Bameme, ezalaki na liziba moko oyo, na lokota ya Arami, bazalaki kobenga « Betesida. » Liziba yango ezalaki na baveranda mitano zingazinga na yango.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Babeli mingi bazalaki kolala na baveranda yango: bakufi miso, bato oyo batambolaka tengu-tengu mpe bato oyo bakufa makolo. [Bazalaki kozela ete mayi eningana,
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 pamba te anjelu moko na Nkolo azalaki koya tango na tango na liziba yango mpo na koningisa mayi. Soki mayi eningani, moto oyo azalaki kokita moto ya liboso kati na liziba azalaki kobika ata soki pasi na ye ezali ndenge nini.]
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 Ezalaki wana na moto moko oyo awumelaki na bokono mibu tuku misato na mwambe.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Lokola Yesu amonaki ye alala na mabele mpe ayokaki ete awumeli mikolo ebele na pasi yango, atunaki ye: — Olingi kobika?
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 Mobeli azongiselaki Ye: — Nkolo, nazali na moto te mpo na kokitisa ngai kati na liziba soki mayi eningani. Wana nabundanaka mpo na kokita na mayi, moto mosusu akitaka liboso na ngai.
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Telema, kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola.
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Kaka na tango yango, moto yango abikaki; akamataki etoko na ye mpe akomaki kotambola. Nzokande likambo yango esalemaki na mokolo ya Saba.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Boye, bakambi ya Bayuda balobaki na moto oyo abikisamaki: — Lelo ezali mokolo ya Saba; ozali na ndingisa te ya komema etoko oyo.
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 Azongiselaki bango: — Moto oyo abikisi ngai alobi na ngai: « Kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola. »
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Batunaki ye lisusu: — Nani alobi na yo bongo?
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Kasi moto oyo abikaki ayebaki te soki moto oyo abikisaki ye azali nani, pamba te Yesu alimwaki kati na ebele ya bato oyo bazalaki wana.
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Sima na mwa tango, Yesu amonaki, kati na lopango ya Tempelo, moto oyo abikaki. Alobaki na ye: — Tala, omoni ndenge okomi sik’oyo nzoto kolongono. Kosala lisusu masumu te, noki te likambo moko ya mabe koleka ekomela yo.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 Moto yango akendeki koyebisa bakambi ya Bayuda ete ezali Yesu nde abikisaki ye.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 Lokola Yesu azalaki kosala makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki kofunda Ye.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: « Tata na Ngai azali kosala kino sik’oyo, Ngai mpe nazali kosala. »
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Mpo na yango, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki koluka nzela ya koboma Ye; pamba te azalaki kotosa te mokolo ya Saba, azalaki koloba ete Nzambe azali Tata na Ye, mpe Ye akokani na Nzambe.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Yesu alobaki na bango lisusu: Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: Mwana akoki kosala eloko moko te na ndenge na Ye moko, kasi azali kosala kaka makambo oyo azali komona Tata na Ye kosala; pamba te makambo nyonso oyo Tata asalaka, yango mpe Mwana asalaka.
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 Boye lokola Tata alingaka Mwana, yango wana alakisaka Ye makambo nyonso oyo Ye moko Tata asalaka; kutu, akolakisa Ye lisusu kosala makambo minene koleka oyo bosili komona kino sik’oyo, mpo ete bokamwa.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 Ndenge kaka Tata asekwisaka bakufi mpe apesaka bango bomoi, ndenge wana mpe Mwana apesaka bomoi na moto oyo Ye alingi.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 Lisusu, Tata asambisaka bato te; apesa bokonzi ya kosambisa bato na maboko ya Mwana,
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 mpo ete bato nyonso bakumisa Mwana ndenge bakumisaka Tata. Moto oyo akumisaka Mwana te akumisaka mpe Tata te oyo atindaki Mwana.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: moto oyo azali koyoka maloba na Ngai mpe azali kondima Ye oyo atindaki Ngai, azali na bomoi ya seko mpe akosambisama te, kasi asili kolongwa na kufa mpe akomi na bomoi. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Nazali koloba na bino penza ya solo: tango ezali koya mpe esili kokoka oyo bakufi bakoyoka mongongo ya Mwana na Nzambe, mpe ba-oyo bakoyoka yango bakozala na bomoi;
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 pamba te lokola Tata azali etima ya bomoi, yango wana asalaki mpe ete Mwana azala etima ya bomoi;
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 mpe apesaki Ye bokonzi ya kosambisa bato, mpo ete azali Mwana na Moto.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Bokamwa yango te, pamba te tango ezali koya, tango oyo bato nyonso oyo bazali kati na bakunda bakoyoka mongongo na Ye
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 mpe bakobima longwa kati na yango: ba-oyo basalaki malamu bakosekwa mpo na kozwa bomoi, kasi ba-oyo basalaki mabe bakosekwa mpo na kozwa etumbu.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 Nakoki kosala eloko moko te na ndenge na Ngai moko: nakataka makambo kolanda oyo nayokaka kowuta epai na Tata, mpe kosambisa na Ngai ezali sembo; pamba te nalukaka te kosala mokano na Ngai moko, kasi mokano ya Ye oyo atindaki Ngai.
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 Soki napesi litatoli mpo na Ngai moko, litatoli na Ngai ekozala ya solo te.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Boye esengeli ete motatoli mosusu apesa yango mpo na Ngai; mpe nayebi ete litatoli oyo akopesa na tina na Ngai ezali ya solo.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Botindaki bato epai ya Yoane, mpe ye atatolaki na tina na bosolo.
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 Ngai, nandimaka litatoli ya moto te; kasi nalobi bongo mpo ete bobika.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 Solo, Yoane azalaki lokola mwinda oyo bapelisi mpe ezali kongenga. Kasi bino, boponaki kosepela na kongenga na ye kaka mpo na mwa tango moke.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 Nzokande Ngai, nazali na litatoli moko ya monene na tina na Ngai moko koleka kutu oyo ya Yoane: misala oyo nazali kosala na Kombo ya Tata etatolaka na tina na Ngai ete ezali Tata nde atindaki Ngai.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 Ye moko, Tata, oyo atindaki Ngai atatolaki mpo na Ngai. Botikala nanu te koyoka mongongo na Ye mpe komona elongi na Ye;
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 mpe liloba na Ye ezali kati na bino te, pamba te bondima te Motindami na Ye.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Bokundolaka Makomi na bokebi, mpo ete bokanisaka ete bokozwa bomoi ya seko kati na yango; nzokande, Makomi yango etatolaka na tina na Ngai, (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 kasi boboyi na bino koya epai na Ngai mpo na kozwa bomoi.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 Nalukaka na Ngai te lokumu oyo ewutaka na bato.
I receive not honour from men.
42 Kutu nayebi bino malamu, nayebi ete, kati na mitema na bino, bozali na bolingo te mpo na Nzambe.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 Ngai, nayei na Kombo ya Tata na Ngai, kasi boboyi koyamba Ngai! Nzokande, soki moto mosusu ayei na kombo na ye moko, bokoyamba ye.
I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 Lokola bolukaka kaka kopesana lokumu bino na bino mpe boboyaka lokumu oyo ewutaka kaka na Nzambe, ndenge nini bokoki kondima Ngai?
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Bokanisa te ete Ngai nde nakofunda bino liboso ya Tata na Ngai, ezali Moyize oyo bondimaka nde akofunda bino.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 Pamba te, soki penza bozalaki kondima Moyize, bolingaki mpe kondima Ngai; pamba te akomaki na tina na Ngai.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 Kasi soki bozali kondima ata makomi na ye te, ndenge nini bokondima maloba na Ngai?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
