Jaona 5
1 Rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy andro firavoravoan’ ny Jiosy, ary Jesosy niakatra tany Jerosalema.
After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Ary misy farihy any Jerosalema, eo akaikin’ ny vavahadin’ ondry, izay atao amin’ ny teny Hebreo hoe Betesda, misy fialofana dimy.
Now there is in Jerusalem, near the sheep-gate, a pool, called, in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, with five porches.
3 Tao no nandrian’ ny marary maro, ny jamba, ny mandringa, ny mati-ila.
In these lay a great multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered, who waited for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and stirred the water. Then he who entered first after the motion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.
5 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray teo, izay efa narary valo amby telo-polo taona.
And a certain man was there, who had been sick thirty-eight years.
6 Raha nahita azy mandry Jesosy ka nahalala fa efa toy izany ela izy, dia hoy Izy taminy: Te-ho sitrana va ianao?
When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been already a long time in that condition, he said to him: Do you wish to be restored to health?
7 Ilay marary namaly Azy hoe: Tompoko, raha hetsehina ny rano, dia tsy mba misy olona handroboka ahy eto amin’ ny farihy; nefa raha mandeha aho, dia misy olon-kafa misosoka eo alohako.
The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
8 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Mitsangana, ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana.
Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.
9 Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia sitrana ralehilahy ka nitondra ny fandriany, dia lasa nandeha. Ary Sabata izay andro izay.
And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
10 Dia hoy ny Jiosy tamin’ ilay efa sitrana: Sabata ny andro, ka tsy mety raha mitondra ny fandrianao ianao.
The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
11 Fa ralehilahy namaly azy hoe: Ilay nahasitrana ahy no nanao tamiko hoe: Ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana.
He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk.
12 Ary ireo nanontany azy hoe: Iza moa izany Lehilahy izany Izay nanao taminao hoe: Ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana?
Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?
13 Fa ilay sitrana tsy nahalala Ary; fa niala teo Jesosy, satria nisy vahoaka betsaka teo.
But he that had been restored to health knew not who he was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, because a multitude was in the place.
14 Rehefa afaka izany, dia hitan’ i Jesosy teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ralehilahy, ka hoy Izy taminy: Indro, efa sitrana ianao; aza manota intsony, fandrao hanjo anao izay ratsy noho ny teo.
After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you.
15 Dia lasa ralehilahy ka nanambara tamin’ ny Jiosy fa Jesosy no nahasitrana azy.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health.
16 Ary noho izany ny Jiosy dia nanenjika an’ i Jesosy, satria nanao izany zavatra izany tamin’ ny Sabata Izy.
And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 Fa Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Ny Raiko miasa mandraka ankehitriny, ary Izaho koa miasa.
But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work.
18 Nefa vao mainka nitady hamono Azy ny Jiosy, tsy noho ny namahany ny amin’ ny Sabata ihany, fa noho ny nilazany koa fa Andriamanitra no Rainy, ka nanao ny tenany ho mitovy amin’ Andriamanitra Izy.
For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.
19 Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ny Zanaka tsy mahazo manao na inona na inona ho Azy, afa-tsy izay hitany ataon’ ny Ray; fa na inona na inona no ataon’ ny Ray dia toy izany koa no ataon’ ny Zanaka.
Then Jesus answered and said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever things he does, these also the Son does in like manner.
20 Fa ny Ray tia ny Zanaka ka maneho Azy ny zavatra rehetra izay ataon’ ny tenany; ary asa lehibe noho ireny no hasehony Azy, mba ho gaga ianareo.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works than these, that you may be astonished.
21 Fa toy ny Ray manangana sy mamelona ny maty, dia tahaka izany koa no ameloman’ ny Zanaka izay tiany.
For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.
22 Fa ny Ray aza tsy mitsara olona, fa ny fitsarana rehetra dia nomeny ny Zanaka,
For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son;
23 mba hanajan’ ny olona rehetra ny Zanaka, tahaka ny fanajany ny Ray. Izay tsy manaja ny Zanaka dia tsy manaja ny Ray, Izay naniraka Azy.
that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.
24 Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Izay mandre ny teniko ka mino Izay naniraka Ahy no manana fiainana mandrakizay, ka tsy hohelohina; fa tafafindra niala tamin’ ny fahafatesana ho amin’ ny fiainana izy. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Avy ny andro ary tonga ankehitriny, izay handrenesan’ ny maty ny feon’ ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra; ary izay mandre dia ho velona.
Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live.
26 Fa tahaka ny Ray manana fiainana ho Azy, dia tahaka izany koa ny Zanaka nomeny hanana fiainana ho Azy;
For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself;
27 ary nomeny fahefana hitsara Izy, satria Zanak’ olona.
and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Aza gaga amin’ izany; fa avy ny andro izay handrenesan’ ny olona rehetra any am-pasana ny feony;
Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 dia hivoaka izy: izay nanao tsara dia ho any amin’ ny fitsanganana ho fiainana fa izay nanao ratsy kosa dia ho any amin’ fitsanganana ho fahamelohana.
and shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 Raha Izaho ihany, dia tsy mahay manao na inona na inona; araka izay reko no itsarako; ary marina ny fitsarako; fa tsy mitady ny sitrapoko Aho, fa ny sitrapon’ izay naniraka Ahy.
I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31 Raha Izaho no manambara ny tenako, dia tsy marina ny fanambarako.
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not worthy of credit.
32 Misy Anankiray Izay manambara Ahy, ary fantatro fa marina ny fanambarana izay anambarany Ahy.
There is another that testifies concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies concerning me is worthy of credit.
33 Hianareo naniraka tany amin’ i Jaona, ary nanambara ny marina izy.
You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
34 Fa Izaho tsy mandray ny fanambarana avy amin’ olona; fa milaza izany zavatra izany Aho mba ho voavonjy ianareo.
But I receive not testimony from man; yet I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Izy dia jiro nirehitra ka nazava; ary nahafinaritra anareo ny nifalianareo vetivety tamin’ faharavany.
He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.
36 Fa Izaho kosa manana fanambarana lehibe noho Jaona; fa ny asa nomen’ ny Ahy hovitaiko, dia izany asa ataoko izany no manambara Ahy fa nirahin’ ny Ray.
But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.
37 Ary ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy, Izy no nanambara Ahy. Tsy mba renareo ny feony, na hitanareo akory aza ny endriny,
And the Father, who sent me, has testified concerning me. You have, neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 ary ny teniny tsy mba mitoetra ao anatinareo, satria tsy mino Izay nirahiny ianareo.
And his word you have not remaining in you; for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39 Dinihinareo ny Soratra Masìna, ataonareo fa ao aminy no anananareo fiainana mandrakizay, ary ireny no manambara Ahy. (aiōnios g166)
You search the scriptures, because in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify concerning me: (aiōnios g166)
40 Kanefa tsy mety manatona Ahy ianareo hanananareo fiainana.
and yet you refuse to come to me, that you may have life.
41 Tsy mandray laza avy amin’ olona
I receive not honor from men.
42 Fa fantatro ianareo, fa tsy misy fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra ao am-ponareo.
But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
43 Izaho dia avy amin’ ny anaran’ ny Raiko, nefa tsy raisinareo; raha misy hafa avy amin’ ny anaran’ ny tenany, dia horaisinareo ihany izy.
I have come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not; if another should come in his own name, him you would receive.
44 Hataonareo izay mifampitady laza ahoana no fino, nefa ny laza avy amin’ ny Andriamanitra Tokana kosa dia tsy tadiavinareo?
How can you believe who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that comes from God alone?
45 Aza ataonareo fa Izaho no hiampanga anareo amin’ ny Ray; misy ny mpiampanga anareo, dia Mosesy izay itokianareo.
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.
46 Fa raha mba nino an’ i Mosesy ianareo, dia hino Ahy, satria nanoratra nilaza Ahy izy.
For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 Fa raha tsy mino izay nosoratany ianareo, hataonareo ahoana no fino ny teniko?
But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
