Jaona 5
1 Rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy andro firavoravoan’ ny Jiosy, ary Jesosy niakatra tany Jerosalema.
Some time later there was a 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 with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3 Tao no nandrian’ ny marary maro, ny jamba, ny mandringa, ny mati-ila.
On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
5 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray teo, izay efa narary valo amby telo-polo taona.
One man there had been an invalid for 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 there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
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.
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Mitsangana, ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana.
Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9 Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia sitrana ralehilahy ka nitondra ny fandriany, dia lasa nandeha. Ary Sabata izay andro izay.
Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10 Dia hoy ny Jiosy tamin’ ilay efa sitrana: Sabata ny andro, ka tsy mety raha mitondra ny fandrianao ianao.
so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11 Fa ralehilahy namaly azy hoe: Ilay nahasitrana ahy no nanao tamiko hoe: Ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana.
But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12 Ary ireo nanontany azy hoe: Iza moa izany Lehilahy izany Izay nanao taminao hoe: Ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana?
“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13 Fa ilay sitrana tsy nahalala Ary; fa niala teo Jesosy, satria nisy vahoaka betsaka teo.
But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
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.
Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 Dia lasa ralehilahy ka nanambara tamin’ ny Jiosy fa Jesosy no nahasitrana azy.
And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Ary noho izany ny Jiosy dia nanenjika an’ i Jesosy, satria nanao izany zavatra izany tamin’ ny Sabata Izy.
Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17 Fa Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Ny Raiko miasa mandraka ankehitriny, ary Izaho koa miasa.
But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
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.
Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God 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.
So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
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.
The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21 Fa toy ny Ray manangana sy mamelona ny maty, dia tahaka izany koa no ameloman’ ny Zanaka izay tiany.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22 Fa ny Ray aza tsy mitsara olona, fa ny fitsarana rehetra dia nomeny ny Zanaka,
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment 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.
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor 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)
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to 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.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will 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 also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27 ary nomeny fahefana hitsara Izy, satria Zanak’ olona.
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, 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;
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will 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 come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
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 do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
31 Raha Izaho no manambara ny tenako, dia tsy marina ny fanambarako.
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32 Misy Anankiray Izay manambara Ahy, ary fantatro fa marina ny fanambarana izay anambarany Ahy.
There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33 Hianareo naniraka tany amin’ i Jaona, ary nanambara ny marina izy.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Fa Izaho tsy mandray ny fanambarana avy amin’ olona; fa milaza izany zavatra izany Aho mba ho voavonjy ianareo.
Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 Izy dia jiro nirehitra ka nazava; ary nahafinaritra anareo ny nifalianareo vetivety tamin’ faharavany.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask 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 more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about 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 Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 ary ny teniny tsy mba mitoetra ao anatinareo, satria tsy mino Izay nirahiny ianareo.
nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 Dinihinareo ny Soratra Masìna, ataonareo fa ao aminy no anananareo fiainana mandrakizay, ary ireny no manambara Ahy. (aiōnios g166)
You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, (aiōnios g166)
40 Kanefa tsy mety manatona Ahy ianareo hanananareo fiainana.
yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 Tsy mandray laza avy amin’ olona
I do not accept glory from men,
42 Fa fantatro ianareo, fa tsy misy fitiavana an’ Andriamanitra ao am-ponareo.
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within 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 have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Hataonareo izay mifampitady laza ahoana no fino, nefa ny laza avy amin’ ny Andriamanitra Tokana kosa dia tsy tadiavinareo?
How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Aza ataonareo fa Izaho no hiampanga anareo amin’ ny Ray; misy ny mpiampanga anareo, dia Mosesy izay itokianareo.
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46 Fa raha mba nino an’ i Mosesy ianareo, dia hino Ahy, satria nanoratra nilaza Ahy izy.
If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47 Fa raha tsy mino izay nosoratany ianareo, hataonareo ahoana no fino ny teniko?
But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
