Yoane 5
1 Sima na yango, Yesu akendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na feti moko ya Bayuda.
After these things 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.
and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew 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 were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, 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 a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.
5 Ezalaki wana na moto moko oyo awumelaki na bokono mibu tuku misato na mwambe.
and there was a certain man there being in ailment 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?
him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become 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 ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'
8 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Telema, kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola.
Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'
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 became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,
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 then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'
11 Azongiselaki bango: — Moto oyo abikisi ngai alobi na ngai: « Kamata etoko na yo mpe tambola. »
He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'
12 Batunaki ye lisusu: — Nani alobi na yo bongo?
they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'
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.
But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the 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.
After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'
15 Moto yango akendeki koyebisa bakambi ya Bayuda ete ezali Yesu nde abikisaki ye.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
16 Lokola Yesu azalaki kosala makambo wana na mokolo ya Saba, bakambi ya Bayuda bakomaki kofunda Ye.
and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
17 Kasi Yesu alobaki na bango: « Tata na Ngai azali kosala kino sik’oyo, Ngai mpe nazali kosala. »
And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, 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.
because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to 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.
Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;
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 doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.
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 doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
22 Lisusu, Tata asambisaka bato te; apesa bokonzi ya kosambisa bato na maboko ya Mwana,
for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to 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 may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who 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 to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the 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 to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard 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 He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,
27 mpe apesaki Ye bokonzi ya kosambisa bato, mpo ete azali Mwana na Moto.
and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is 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
'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs 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 they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.
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 am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 Soki napesi litatoli mpo na Ngai moko, litatoli na Ngai ekozala ya solo te.
'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony 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.
another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
33 Botindaki bato epai ya Yoane, mpe ye atatolaki na tina na bosolo.
ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
34 Ngai, nandimaka litatoli ya moto te; kasi nalobi bongo mpo ete bobika.
'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may 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 the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, 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 the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning 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 who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;
38 mpe liloba na Ye ezali kati na bino te, pamba te bondima te Motindami na Ye.
and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
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)
'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 kasi boboyi na bino koya epai na Ngai mpo na kozwa bomoi.
and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
41 Nalukaka na Ngai te lokumu oyo ewutaka na bato.
glory from man I do not receive,
42 Kutu nayebi bino malamu, nayebi ete, kati na mitema na bino, bozali na bolingo te mpo na Nzambe.
but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.
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 have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may 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 are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?
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 unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;
46 Pamba te, soki penza bozalaki kondima Moyize, bolingaki mpe kondima Ngai; pamba te akomaki na tina na Ngai.
for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
47 Kasi soki bozali kondima ata makomi na ye te, ndenge nini bokondima maloba na Ngai?
but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
