Yokaana 5

1 Oluvannyuma Yesu n’addayo e Yerusaalemi abeewo ku emu ku mbaga z’Abayudaaya.

After this came the feast of the Jews, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Munda mu Yerusaalemi, okumpi n’Omulyango gw’Endiga waliwo ekidiba ekiyitibwa Besusayida, mu Lwebbulaniya, ekyazimbibwako ebigango bitaano okukyetooloola.

Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five porticoes.

3 Mu bigango ebyo mwagalamirangamu abalwadde bangi nnyo: abalema, abazibe b’amaaso, n’abakoozimbye.

In the porticoes were lying a great multitude of disabled people, including the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed, who were waiting for the moving of the water.

4 Kubanga bwe waayitangawo ekiseera malayika wa Mukama n’ajja n’atabula amazzi ago, era omuntu eyasookanga okukka mu kidiba ng’amazzi gaakatabulwa, ng’awonyezebwa.

For at times an angel would go down into the pool and stir up the water. The first person who stepped in after the water was stirred up was healed of whatever disease he had.

5 Waaliwo omusajja eyali yaakalwalira emyaka amakumi asatu mu munaana.

One man was there who had been suffering in his disability for thirty-eight years.

6 Yesu bwe yamulaba n’amanya nga bw’amaze ebbanga eddene nga mulwadde, n’amubuuza nti, “Oyagala okuwonyezebwa?”

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in that condition for a long time already, he said to him, “Do yoʋ want to be made well?”

7 Omusajja omulwadde n’amuddamu nti, “Ssebo sirina muntu ayinza kunnyamba okunsuula mu kidiba ng’amazzi gaakatabulwa. Buli lwe ngezaako okukkamu we ntukirayo ng’omulala yansoose dda.”

The disabled man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am going, another goes down before me.”

8 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Situka ozingeko omukeeka gwo otambule.”

Jesus said to him, “Rise, pick up yoʋr mat, and walk.”

9 Amangwago omusajja n’awonyezebwa. N’azingako omukeeka gwe ne yeetambulira. Olunaku olwo lwali lwa Ssabbiiti.

Immediately the man was made well, so he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a Sabbath.

10 Abayudaaya kyebaava bagamba omusajja awonyezebbwa nti, “Toteekwa kwetikka mukeeka gwo ku Ssabbiiti, oba omenye etteeka lya Ssabbiiti.”

So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for yoʋ to pick up yoʋr mat.”

11 Ye n’addamu nti, “Omuntu amponyezza y’aŋŋambye nti, ‘Situlawo omukeeka gwo otambule.’”

He answered them, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up yoʋr mat and walk.’”

12 Ne bamubuuza nti, “Omuntu oyo ye ani eyakugambye okusitula omukeeka gwo otambule?”

So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to yoʋ, ‘Pick up yoʋr mat and walk’?”

13 Kyokka omusajja eyawonyezebwa yali tamumanyi, kubanga Yesu yali abulidde mu bantu abangi abaali mu kifo ekyo.

But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd in that place.

14 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’amulaba mu Yeekaalu, n’amugamba nti, “Kaakano oli mulamu, naye toddangamu okwonoona, akabi akasingawo kaleme okukutuukako.”

After this Jesus found the man in the temple courts and said to him, “Behold, yoʋ have been made well; do not sin anymore, lest something worse happen to yoʋ.”

15 Omuntu oyo n’agenda n’ategeeza Abayudaaya nti Yesu ye yamuwonya.

Then the man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 Okuva olwo Abayudaaya ne batandika okuyigganya Yesu, kubanga yakolanga ebintu ebifaanana ng’ekyo ku Ssabbiiti.

So the Jews began persecuting Jesus and seeking to kill him, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.

17 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kitange bulijjo akola, nange nteekwa okukola.”

But Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working even now, and I too am working.”

18 Abayudaaya kyebaava beeyongera okusala amagezi okumutta, kubanga teyakoma ku kya kumenya mateeka ga Ssabbiiti kyokka, naye yeeyita Omwana wa Katonda, ne yeefuula eyenkanaankana ne Katonda.

So the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Omwana taliiko ky’akola ku bubwe, wabula ekyo ky’alaba Kitaawe ng’akola. Kubanga ye by’akola n’Omwana by’akola.

So Jesus responded to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does in the same way.

20 Kubanga Kitaawe w’Omwana ayagala Omwana we era amulaga ky’akola, era Omwana ajja kukola ebyamagero bingi ebyewuunyisa okusinga na bino.

For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself does. And he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.

21 Kubanga nga Kitaawe w’Omwana bw’azuukiza abafu, bw’atyo n’Omwana awa obulamu abo baayagala.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

22 Era Kitaawe w’Omwana talina n’omu gw’asalira musango, naye obuyinza obw’okusala emisango gyonna yabuwa Omwana we,

The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,

23 abantu bonna balyoke bassengamu Omwana ekitiibwa nga bwe bassa mu Kitaawe ekitiibwa. Atassaamu Mwana kitiibwa, ne Kitaawe eyamutuma tamussaamu kitiibwa.

so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

24 “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Awulira ebigambo byange, n’akkiriza eyantuma, aba n’obulamu obutaggwaawo, era talisingibwa musango, kubanga aliba avudde mu kuzikirira ng’atuuse mu bulamu. (aiōnios g166)

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)

25 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Ekiseera kijja, era kituuse, abafu lwe baliwulira eddoboozi ly’Omwana wa Katonda, era n’abaliwulira baliba balamu.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

26 Kubanga nga Kitaawe w’Omwana bw’alina obulamu mu ye, bw’atyo bwe yawa Omwana okuba n’obulamu mu ye,

For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.

27 era yamuwa obuyinza okusalira abantu emisango, kubanga ye Mwana w’Omuntu.

And he has given the Son authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Ekyo tekibeewuunyisa, kubanga ekiseera kijja abafu abali mu ntaana lwe baliwulira eddoboozi lye

Do not be amazed at this, because an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

29 ne bavaamu kubanga be baakola ebintu ebirungi, era balifuna obulamu obutaggwaawo, naye abo abaakolanga ebibi balizuukira ne babonerezebwa.

and come out, those who have done good to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to a resurrection of judgment.

30 Kyokka Nze siyinza kukola kintu kyonna ku bwange. Kitange nga bw’aŋŋamba bwe nkola, era n’omusango gwe nsala gwa nsonga kubanga sinoonya bye njagala nze, wabula eyantuma by’ayagala.

“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

31 Singa nneeyogerako nzekka, bye nneyogerako tebiba bya mazima.

“If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.

32 Waliwo ategeeza gwe ndi, era mmanyi nga bya njogerako bya mazima.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true.

33 “Mmwe mwatuma ababaka eri Yokaana, era ayogedde eby’amazima.

You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34 Ebigambo ebinkakasa tebiva mu muntu, naye ebyo mbyogera mulyoke mulokolebwe.

Now I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 Oyo ye yali ettaala eyayaka okubaleetera ekitangaala, ne musalawo mubeere mu kitangaala ekyo akaseera katono.

John was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.

36 “Naye nnina ebinkakasa okukira ebyo ebya Yokaana, bye byamagero bye nkola, Kitange bye yampa, era bikakasa nti Kitange ye yantuma

But I have testimony greater than John's. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, testify that the Father has sent me.

37 ne Kitange yennyini eyantuma akakasa ebinkwatako. Temuwuliranga ku ddoboozi lye wadde okulaba ekifaananyi kye.

And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.

38 N’ekigambo kye tekiri mu mmwe, kubanga temukkiriza oyo gwe yatuma.

And you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom he sent.

39 Munoonya mu Byawandiikibwa kubanga mulowooza nti muyinza okubifuniramu obulamu obutaggwaawo. Kyokka Ebyawandiikibwa ebyo bye binjulira. (aiōnios g166)

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is these that testify about me, (aiōnios g166)

40 Naye temwagala kujja gye ndi mulyoke mufune obulamu obutaggwaawo.

yet you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.

41 “Sinoonya kusiimibwa bantu.

I do not receive glory from men.

42 Naye mmwe mbamanyi temuliimu kwagala kwa Katonda.

But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.

43 Nzize mu linnya lya Kitange ne mutannyaniriza. Omulala bw’anajja ku bubwe oyo mujja kumwaniriza.

I have come in the name of my Father, and yet you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44 Kale muyinza mutya okukkiriza nga munoonya kusiimibwa bantu bannammwe, so nga temunoonya kusiimibwa Katonda oyo Omu yekka?

How can you believe when you receive glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the one and only God?

45 “Naye temulowooza nti ndibawawaabira eri Kitange. Abawawaabira ye Musa, mmwe gwe mulinamu essuubi.

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

46 Singa Musa mumukkiriza, nange mwandinzikirizza, kubanga yampandiikako.

If you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

47 Kale obanga temukkiriza bye yawandiika, munakkiriza mutya ebigambo byange?”

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
