Yohani 5
1 Shakapanu, Yesu kagenditi Yerusalemu kumsambu gwa Wayawudi.
Afterward there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went to Jerusalem.
2 Kulaa Yerusalemu, pakwegera na mlyangu gwawagushemiti Mlyangu gwa kondolu, kweniti na litanda lyawalishemiti kwa Shiebraniya Betizata, liweriti na seemu midamu muhanu.
Now there is at Jerusalem, nigh the sheep gate, a bath, called, in Hebrew, Bethesda, which has five covered walks.
3 Lipinga likulu lya walweli walivagiti seemu azi, wanalwisi na wavibyeketu na walewelekiti. Su waweriti wankuhepera mashi gatimbuki,
In these lay a great number of sick, blind, lame, and palsied people, waiting for the moving of the water,
4 toziya lihoka lya Mlungu kulawa kwa Mtuwa kila mala pakiza na kugatimbula mashi. Mlweri gwa kwanja kwingira mumashi pagatimbuka kaponiziwa.
(for a messenger at times descended into the bath, and agitated the water; and the first that stepped in, after the agitation of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.)
5 Paliya paweriti na muntu yumu yakalwaliti kwa shipindi sha mivinja milongu mitatu na nane.
Now, there was one there, who had been diseased thirty-eight years.
6 Yesu pakamwoniti muntu uliya kagonja paliya na kavimaniti kuwera kalwariti kwa shipindi shivuwa, su kamkosiyiti, “Hashi, gufira guponi?”
Jesus, who saw him lying, and knew that he had been long ill, said to him, Do you desire to be healed?
7 Muntu yakalwala kankula, “Mtuwa, kwahera muntu panu gwankuntula mumashi shipindi mashi pagatimbuka. Panjeriti kwingira kumbiti kila mala, muntu yumonga kanongulera.”
The diseased man answered, Sir, I have no person to put me into the bath, when the water is agitated; but while I am going, another gets down before me.
8 Yesu kamgambira, “Gugoloki, gutoli mkeka gwaku gugendigendi.”
Jesus said to him, Arise, take up your couch and walk.
9 Palaa paliya muntu uliya kapona. Kagutoliti mkeka gwakuwi na kanja kugendagenda. Shitwatila ashi shitendikiti Mulishaka lya kwoyera.
Instantly the man was healed, and took up his couch and walked.
10 Wakulu wa Wayawudi pawawoniti muntu ulii yakaponiziwitwi, womberi wamgambira, “Leru ndo lishaka lya kwoyera! Kwahera ulekeziwu kwa gwenga kupapa mkeka gwaku.”
Now, that day was the Sabbath. The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured, This is the Sabbath. It is now lawful for you to carry the couch.
11 Kumbiti Yomberi kawagambira, “Muntu yakamponiziyiti kang'ambiriti ntoli mukeka, ng'ending'endi.”
He answered, He who healed me, said to me, Take up your couch and walk.
12 Nawomberi wamkosiyiti, “Ndo gaa yakakugambiriti gutoli mukeka gwaku na gugendigendi?”
They asked him then, Who is the man that said to you, Take up your couch and walk?
13 Kumbiti yomberi kamumana ndiri muntu yakamuponiziiti, mana Yesu kaweriti kalihanganiya mulipinga lya wantu.
But he that had been healed, knew who it was; for Jesus had slipped away, there being a crowd in the place.
14 Shapakanu Yesu kaliwoniti na muntu yakamponiziyiti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, su kamgambira, “Gupikani vinu gwamkomu, guleki kutenda vidoda ama vitwatira vidoda virawili kwaku.”
Jesus, afterward, finding him in the temple, said to him, Behold, you are cured; sin no more, lest something worse befall you.
15 Shakapanu muntu uliya kagenda, kawagambira wakolamlima wa Shiyawudi kuwera Yesu ndo yakamuponiziiti.
The man went, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 Su Wayawudi wanjiti kumgaziya Yesu, toziya yomberi katenditi shitwatila ashi sha kuponiziya mulishaka lya Kwoyera.
Therefore, the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done this on the Sabbath.
17 Yesu kawagambira womberi, “Tati gwangu kankutenda lihengu mashaka goseri, naneni viraa ntenda lihengu.”
But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now; I also work.
18 Visoweru avi viwatenda wakulu wa Shiyawudi wendereyi kusakula ntambu ya kumlaga Yesu, toziya kalitenda ndiri weri lilagaliru lya lishaka lya Kwoyera na katakuliti kuwera Mlungu ndo Tati gwakuwi na viraa vilii pakalitenda kuwera gambira Mlungu.
For this reason the Jews were the more intent to kill him; because he had not only broken the Sabbath, but, by calling God his real Father, had equaled himself to God.
19 Yesu kawagambiriti womberi, “Nukugambirani nakaka, Mwana kaweza ndiri kutenda shoseri gweka yakuwi, katenda shilii shakawoniti Tati gwakuwi pakatenda. Vilii vyakatendaga Tati, viraa vilii ndo vyakatenda Mwana.
Then Jesus addressed them, saying, Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but as he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, such does the Son, likewise.
20 Toziya Tati kamfira Mwana na kamlangalira yomberi vyoseri vyakatenditi mweni, viraa vilii hakamlanguzii vitwatira vikulu kuliku avi, mwenga hamlikangashi.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself does: nay, and will show him greater works than these, which will astonish you.
21 Handa virii Tati pakawazyukisiyiti wahowiti na kuwapanani ukomu, ntambu iraayi Mwana kawapanani ukomu yawafira walii.
For as the Father raises and quickens the dead, the Son also quickens whom he will:
22 Tati hapeni katozi muntu yoseri, kumbiti lihengu lyoseri lya kutoza kamupa Mwana,
for the Father judges no person, having committed the power of judging entirely to the Son,
23 su wantu woseri wamgohilili Mwana ntambu yawamgohelera Tati. Yakamgohelira ndiri Mwana, kamgohalila ndiri Tati. Tati ndo mweni yakamtumiti Mwana.
that all might honor the Son; as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father, who sent him.
24 “Nakugambirani nakaka, woseri yawapikanira visoweru vyangu na kumjimira ulii yakantumiti, hakaweri na ukomu wa mashaka goseri. Hapeni katozwi, ira kapita kala kulawa mukuhowa na kwingira muukomu. (aiōnios g166)
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears my doctrine, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and shall not suffer condemnation, having passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Nukugambirani nakaka, shipindi shankwiza, kayi shisoka kala, ndo sheni wahowiti hawapikiniri liziwu lya Mwana gwa Mlungu na woseri yawapikanira hawalikali.
Most assuredly, I say to you, the time comes; or, rather, is come, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and hearing, they shall live.
26 Gambira Tati ntambu yakawera shanzu sha ukomu, hera hangu viraa ntambu yakamtenda Mwana gwakuwi kuwera shanzu sha ukomu.
For, as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son, to have life in himself;
27 Na kamupiti Mwana uwezu wa kutoza, toziya yomberi ndo Mwana gwa Muntu.
and has given him even the judicial authority, because he is a Son of Man.
28 Namulikangasha shitwatila ashi, shipindi shankwiza wawahowiti woseri hawapikiniri liziwu lyakuwi
Wonder not at this: for the time comes when all that are in their graves shall hear his voice,
29 nawomberi hawalawi mumapumba mwawu, woseri walii yawatenditi viherepa hawazyuki na kulikala, na woseri yawatenditi vidoda, hawazyuki na kutozwa.”
and shall come forth. They who have done good, shall arise to enjoy life; they who have done evil, shall arise to suffer punishment.
30 “Neni weza ndiri kutenda shoseri kwa uwezu waneni. Neni ntenda hera ntambu ya Mlungu pakang'ambira, su kutoza kwaneni ndo teratera, toziya njeriti ndiri kutenda shirii shanfira, kumbiti ntenda shirii shakafira ulii yakantumiti.
I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not to please myself, but to please him who sent me.
31 “Handa panulitakulila namweni, upitawu wa neni hapeni ujimilwi kuwera wa nakaka.
If I alone testify concerning myself, my testimony is not to be regarded:
32 Kumbiti kwana yumonga ndo mweni katakulaga upitawu kuusu neni, naneni nuvimana kuwera vyoseri vyakatakula kuusu neni ndo vyanakaka.
there is another who testifies concerning me; and I know that his testimony of me ought to be regarded.
33 Mwenga mtumiti ujumbi kwa Yohani, nayomberi kawutakuliti nakaka.
You, yourselves, sent to John, and he bore testimony of the truth.
34 Neni nuwutumbira ndiri upitawu wa wantu, kumbiti ntakula vitwatira avi mpati kulopoziwa.
As for me, I need no human testimony; I can only urge this for your salvation.
35 Yohani kaweriti gambira lumuliku lwaluweriti lwakuyaka na kulangala na mwenga musekereriti kulangala kwa shipindi shididiki hera.
He was the blazing and shining lamp; and for awhile, you were glad to enjoy his light.
36 “Neni nanawu upitawu kuusu namweni ndo weni mkulu mnu kuliku ulii wa Yohani. Shantenda ndo sheni shakung'ambira kuwera Tati ndo yakantumiti.
But I have greater testimony than John's: for the works which the Father has empowered me to perform, the works themselves, which I do, testify for me, that the Father has sent me.
37 Tati ndo yakantumiti, viraa kananguziya. Mwenga hapeni mpikaniri liziwu lyakuwi ama mwoni sheni shakuwi,
Nay, the Father, who sent me, has himself attested me. Did you never hear his voice, or see his form?
38 na visoweru vyakuwi hapeni vikali mumyoyu mwenu, toziya mumjimira ndiri ulii yakamtumiti.
Or, have you forgotten his declaration, that you believe not him whom he has sent forth?
39 “Mwenga mgalola weri Malembu Mananagala, toziya mulihola kuwera mngati mwakuwi hampati ukomu wa mashaka goseri, kumbiti Malembu galaa galiya gantakula! (aiōnios g166)
You search the scriptures because you think to obtain by them eternal life. Now these, also, are witnesses for me; (aiōnios g166)
40 Pamuhera na hangu, mwenga mlema kwiza kwaneni mpati ukomu.
yet you will not come to me, that you may obtain life.
41 “Ndolera ndiri ukwisa kulawa kwa wantu.
I desire not honor from men;
42 Kumbiti nuwamana mwenga, nuvimana kuwera ufiru wa Mlungu kwahera mumyoyu mwenu.
but I know you, that you are strangers to the love of God.
43 Neni niza kwa uwezu wa Tati gwangu, su munshemera ndiri, Kumbiti mwenga muwashemeraga wantu pawiza muuwezu wawu.
I am come in my Father's name, and you did not receive me; if another come, in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Mfira kuwanka uzyumi kwa wantu, kumbiti mfira ndiri kujera kutenda vitwatira kwa ulii yakawera Mlungu gweka yakuwi, hashi mweza kunjimira neni?
How can you believe, while you court honor one from another, regardless of the honor which comes from God alone?
45 “Namlihola handa neni hanuwasitaki mwenga kwa Tati gwangu. Musa ndo mweni, mwenga mumtumbiriti mweni ndo hakawasitaki.
Do not think that I am he who will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you confide.
46 Handa nakaka mwenga memjimiri Musa, viraa memnjimiri naneni, toziya Musa kalembiti kuusu neni.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me: for he wrote concerning me.
47 Kumbiti mugajimiri ndiri galii gakalembiti Musa, hamuwezi hashi kuvijimira visoweru vyangu?”
But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
