यूहन्‍ना 5

1 यसपछि यहूदीहरूको चाड थियो, र येशू यरूशलेम जानुभयो ।

Sometime after this there was a Jewish Festival; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 यरूशलेमको भेडा-ढोका नजिकै एउटा तलाउ छ जसलाई हिब्रूमा बेथस्दा भनिन्छ जसको छानासहितका पाँचवटा दलान छन् ।

There is in Jerusalem, near the sheep-gate, a bath with five colonnades round it. It is called in Hebrew “Bethesda.”

3 त्यहाँ ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा बिरामीहरू, अन्धा, लङ्गडा र पक्षाघातीहरू त्यो तलाउको नजिक पडिरहेका थिए । (नोटः उत्कृष्‍ट प्राचीन प्रतिलिपीहरूबाट यो पदावलीलाई हटाइएको छ) । ३ तिनीहरूले पानी छचल्किएको पर्खिरहेका थिए ।

In these colonnades a large number of sick people were lying – blind, lame, and crippled.

4 (नोटः उत्कृष्‍ट प्राचीन प्रतिलिपीहरूले पद ४ लाई हटाएको छ) । ४ “परमेश्‍वरका स्वर्गदूत तल ओर्लिएर पानीलाई कुनै समयमा हल्लाइदिन्थे र त्यो पानी छचल्किरहँदा जो पहिले पानीमा पस्थ्यो त्यसको जस्तोसुकै रोग भए तापनि निको भइहाल्थ्यो ।

5 त्यहाँ अठतिस वर्षदेखि रोगले ग्रसित भएको कुनै एक जना मानिस थियो ।

One man who was there had been crippled for thirty-eight years.

6 जब येशूले त्यसलाई त्यहाँ पल्टिरहेको देख्‍नुभयो र उहाँले त्यो मानिस त्यहाँ धेरै समयदेखि रहेको थियो भनी महसुस गर्नुभयो, तब उहाँले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “के तिमी स्वस्थ हुन चाहन्छौ?”

Jesus saw the man lying there, and, finding that he had been in this state a long time, said to him, ‘Do you wish to be cured?’

7 त्यो बिरामी मानिसले जवाफ दियो, “महाशय, पानी छचल्किँदा मलाई पानीमा राखिदिने मेरो कोही पनि छैन । म आउँदा मभन्दा अगि अर्को पसिहाल्छ ।”

‘I have no one, Sir,’ the sick man answered, ‘to put me into the bath when there is a troubling of the water, and, while I am getting to it, someone else steps down before me.’

8 येशूले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “उठ, आफ्नो चकटी लेऊ, र हिँड ।”

‘Stand up,’ said Jesus, ‘take up your mat, and walk.’

9 त्यो मानिस तुरुन्तै निको भयो र त्यसले आफ्नो ओछ्यान उठायो, र हिँड्यो । अब त्यो विश्रामको दिन थियो ।

The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began walking.

10 त्यसैले, यहूदीहरूले त्यो निको भएको मानिसलाई भने, “यो विश्रामको दिन हो, र तिमीलाई तिम्रो चकटी बोकेर हिँड्ने अनुमति छैन ।”

Now it was the Sabbath. So the religious authorities said to the man who had been cured, ‘This is the Sabbath; you must not carry your mat.’

11 त्यसले जवाफ दियो, “जसले मलाई स्वस्थ बनाउनुभयो, उहाँले नै मलाई ‘तिम्रो चकटी उठाऊ र हिँड’ भन्‍नुभयो ।”

‘The man who cured me,’ he answered, ‘said to me “Take up your mat and walk.”’

12 उनीहरूले त्यसलाई भने, “तिमीलाई ‘तिम्रो यो उठाऊ र हिँड’ भन्‍ने त्यो मानिस को हो?”

‘Who was it,’ they asked, ‘that said to you “Take up your mat and walk”?’

13 तापनि येशू सुटुक्‍क गइसक्‍नुभएकोले जो निको भएको थियो, त्यसलाई उहाँ को हुनुहुन्थ्यो भन्‍ने थाहा थिएन, किनकि त्यहाँ भिड लागेको थियो ।

But the man who had been restored did not know who it was; for Jesus had moved away, because there was a crowd there.

14 पछि येशूले त्यस मानिसलाई मन्दिरमा भेट्टाउनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, तिमी स्वस्थ भएका छौ । अब पाप नगर, ताकि तिमीमाथि योभन्दा झन् खराबी आइनपरोस् ।”

Afterwards Jesus found the man in the Temple Courts, and said to him, ‘You are cured now; do not sin again, or something worse may happen to you.’

15 त्यो मानिस गयो र त्यसलाई स्वस्थ बनाउने येशू हुनुहुँदोरहेछ भनी त्यसले यहूदीहरूलाई बतायो ।

The man went away, and told the authorities that it was Jesus who had cured him.

16 अब यी कुराहरूका कारणले यहूदीहरूले येशूलाई सताए, किनकि उहाँले यी कुराहरू विश्रामको दिनमा गर्नुभएको थियो ।

And that was why they began to persecute Jesus – because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.

17 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मेरा पिताले अहिले पनि काम गरिरहनुभएको छ र म पनि काम गरिरहेको छु ।”

But Jesus replied, ‘My Father works to this very hour, and I work also.’

18 यसले गर्दा यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई झनै मार्न खोजे, किनकि उहाँले विश्राम दिन मात्र तोड्नुभएन, तर आफैँलाई परमेश्‍वर समान तुल्याएर परमेश्‍वरलाई पिता भन्‍नुभयो ।

This made the authorities all the more eager to kill him, because not only was he doing away with the Sabbath, but he actually called God his own Father – putting himself on an equality with God.

19 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचो, साँचो, पिताले गरिरहनुभएको देख्‍नु बाहेक पुत्र आफैँले केही गर्न सक्दैन, किनकि पिताले जे गरिरहनुभएको छ पुत्रले पनि त्यही कुराहरू गर्छ ।

So Jesus made this further reply, ‘In truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does also.

20 किनभने पिताले पुत्रलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ, र उहाँ आफूले गर्नुहुने सबै कुरा पुत्रलाई देखाउनुहुन्छ अनि उहाँले उनलाई यी कुराहरूभन्दा पनि ठुला कुराहरू देखाउनुहुनेछ, ताकि तिमीहरू अचम्मित हुन सक ।

For the Father loves his Son, and shows him everything that he is doing; and he will show him still greater things – so that you will be filled with wonder.

21 किनकि पिताले जसरी मृतकलाई जीवित पार्नुहुन्छ, र तिनीहरूलाई जीवन दिनुहुन्छ, त्यसरी नै पुत्रले पनि जसलाई चाहन्छ त्यसलाई जीवन दिन्छ ।

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

22 किनकि पिताले कसैको न्याय गर्नुहुन्‍न, तर उहाँले न्याय गर्ने सबै काम पुत्रलाई दिनुभएको छ ।

The Father himself does not judge any one, but has entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,

23 त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले पितालाई आदर गरेझैँ, सबैले पुत्रलाई आदर गर्नेछन् । जसले पुत्रलाई आदर गर्दैन, त्यसले उहाँलाई पठाउनुहुने पितालाई पनि आदर गर्दैन ।

so that everyone may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. The person who does not honour the Son fails to honour the Father who sent him.

24 साँचो, साँचो, जसले मेरो वचन सुन्छ र मलाई पठाउनुहुनेलाई विश्‍वास गर्छ त्यससँग अनन्त जीवन हुन्छ र त्यो दोषी ठहराइनेछैन, तर त्यो मृत्युबाट जीवनमा सरेको छ । (aiōnios g166)

In truth I tell you that the person who listens to my message and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come under condemnation, but has already passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)

25 साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्छु, समय आइरहेको छ र यो अहिले नै हो, जब मृतकहरूले परमेश्‍वरका पुत्रको सोर सुन्‍नेछन्, र ती सुन्‍नेहरू बाँच्‍नेछन् ।

In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen will live.

26 किनकि जसरी पिता आफैँसँग जीवन छ, त्यसरी नै उहाँले पुत्रलाई पनि दिनुभएको छ, ताकि ऊ आफैँसँग जीवन होस्,

For, just as the Father has inherent life within him, so also he has granted to the Son to have inherent life within him;

27 र पिताले पुत्रलाई न्याय गर्ने अधिकार दिनुभएको छ । किनकि ऊ मानिसका पुत्र हो ।

and, because he is Son of Man, he has also given him authority to act as judge.

28 यस कुरामा तिमीहरू अचम्म नमान, किनकि चिहानमा हुनेहरूले उसको सोर सुन्‍ने समय आइरहेको छ,

Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,

29 र तिनीहरू चिहानबाट बाहिर आउनेछन्ः असल गर्नेहरू जीवनको पुनरुत्थानको निम्ति र दुष्‍ट काम गर्नेहरू न्यायको पुनरुत्थानको निम्ति ।

and will come out – those who have done good rising to life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.

30 म आफैँले केही गर्न सक्दिनँ । म जस्तो सुन्छु त्यस्तै न्याय गर्छु र मेरो न्याय धार्मिक हुन्छ, किनकि मैले आफ्नो इच्छा खोजिरहेको छैनँ, तर मलाई पठाउनुहुनेको इच्छा खोजिरहेको छु ।

I can do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgment that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

31 यदि म आफैँले आफ्नै बारेमा गवाही दिने हो भने मेरो गवाही सत्य हुँदैनथ्यो ।

‘If I bear testimony to myself, my testimony is not trustworthy;

32 मेरो बारेमा गवाही दिनुहुने अर्को एक जना हुनुहुन्छ, र म जान्दछु, कि उहाँले मेरो विषयमा दिनुहुने गवाही सत्य हुन्छ ।

it is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy.

33 तिमीहरूले यूहन्‍नाकहाँ पठाएका छौ र उनले सत्य गवाही दिएका छन् ।

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

34 तर मैले प्राप्‍त गर्ने त्यो गवाही मानिसबाट आएको होइन । तिमीहरूलाई बचाइयोस् भनी म यी कुराहरू भन्छु ।

But the testimony which I receive is not from people; I am saying this for your salvation.

35 यूहन्‍ना बोलिरहेका र चम्किरहेका बत्ती थिए र तिमीहरू उनको ज्योतिमा केही क्षणका लागि आनन्द मनाउन तत्पर थियौ ।

He was the Lamp that was burning and shining, and you were ready to rejoice, for a time, in his light.

36 तैपनि मसँग भएको गवाही त्योभन्दा पनि महान् छ, किनकि पिताले मलाई पुरा गर्न दिनुभएका कामहरू र मैले गर्ने कामहरूले नै मलाई पिताले पठाउनुभएको हो भन्‍ने गवाही दिन्छन् ।

But the testimony which I have is of greater weight than John’s; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out – the work that I am doing – is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his messenger.

37 मलाई पठाउनुहुने पिता आफैँले मेरो विषयमा गवाही दिनुभएको छ । तिमीहरूले न उहाँको सोर सुनेका छौ न उहाँको रूप नै कहिल्यै देखेका छौ ।

The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;

38 तिमीहरूमा उहाँको वचन रहेको छैन, किनकि उहाँले पठाउनुभएकोलाई तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास गरिरहेका छैनौ ।

and you have not taken his message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his messenger.

39 तिमीहरू धर्मशास्‍त्रमा खोज्दछौ, किनकि तिनमा तिमीहरूको निम्ति अनन्त जीवन छ भन्‍ने सोच्दछौ र यी नै धर्मशास्‍त्रहरूले मेरो विषयमा गवाही दिन्छन्, (aiōnios g166)

You search the scriptures, because you think that you find in them immortal life; and, though it is those scriptures that bear testimony to me, (aiōnios g166)

40 र तिमीहरू जीवन पाउन मकहाँ आउन तत्पर छैनौ ।

you refuse to come to me to have life.

41 म मनिसहरूबाट प्रशंसा प्राप्‍त गर्दिनँ,

‘I do not receive honour from people,

42 तर म जान्दछु, तिमीहरू आफैँमा परमेश्‍वरको प्रेम छैन ।

but I know this of you, that you have not the love of God in your hearts.

43 म मेरा पिताको नाउँमा आएको छु, र तिमीहरू मलाई स्‍वीकार गर्दैनौ । यदि आफ्नै नाउँमा अर्को कोही आउने हो भने तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई स्वीकार गर्छौ ।

I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44 एक अर्कोबाट प्रशंसा खोज्‍ने तर परमेश्‍वरबाट मात्र आउने प्रशंसा नखोज्‍नलाई तिमीहरूले कसरी विश्‍वास गर्न सक्छौ?

How can you believe in me, when you receive honour from one another and do not desire the honour which comes from the only God?

45 पिताको सामु तिमीहरूलाई म आफैँले दोष लगाउँछु भन्‍ने तिमीहरू नसोच । तिमीहरूले आशा राखेका मोशाले नै तिमीहरूलाई दोष लगाउँछन् ।

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have been resting your hopes.

46 यदि तिमीहरूले मोशामा विश्‍वास गर्थ्यौ भने तिमीहरूले ममा पनि विश्‍वास गर्ने थियौ, किनकि उनले मेरो विषयमा लेखे ।

For, had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for it was of me that Moses wrote;

47 यदि तिमीहरूले उनले लेखेका कुराहरूमा विश्‍वास गर्दैनौ भने तिमीहरूले मेरो वचनमा कसरी विश्‍वास गर्छौ र?”

but, if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my teaching?’
