yOhanaH 5

1 tataH paraM yihUdIyAnAm utsava upasthitE yIzu ryirUzAlamaM gatavAn|

After these things there was the feast of the Jews, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 tasminnagarE mESanAmnO dvArasya samIpE ibrIyabhASayA baithEsdA nAmnA piSkariNI panjcaghaTTayuktAsIt|

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

3 tasyAstESu ghaTTESu kilAlakampanam apEkSya andhakhanjcazuSkAggAdayO bahavO rOgiNaH patantastiSThanti sma|

In them a large number of sick people were lying—blind, lame, paralyzed—waiting for the moving of the water;

4 yatO vizESakAlE tasya sarasO vAri svargIyadUta EtyAkampayat tatkIlAlakampanAt paraM yaH kazcid rOgI prathamaM pAnIyamavArOhat sa Eva tatkSaNAd rOgamuktO'bhavat|

because an angel would go down from time to time into the pool and stir up the water—then the first one to get in after the stirring of the water became well of whatever disease that was holding him.

5 tadASTAtriMzadvarSANi yAvad rOgagrasta Ekajanastasmin sthAnE sthitavAn|

Now there was a certain man there who had been sick for 38 years.

6 yIzustaM zayitaM dRSTvA bahukAlikarOgIti jnjAtvA vyAhRtavAn tvaM kiM svasthO bubhUSasi?

Seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been sick a long time, Jesus says to him, “Do you want to get well?”

7 tatO rOgI kathitavAn hE mahEccha yadA kIlAlaM kampatE tadA mAM puSkariNIm avarOhayituM mama kOpi nAsti, tasmAn mama gamanakAlE kazcidanyO'grO gatvA avarOhati|

The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to throw me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming another gets in before me.”

8 tadA yIzurakathayad uttiSTha, tava zayyAmuttOlya gRhItvA yAhi|

Jesus says to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk!”

9 sa tatkSaNAt svasthO bhUtvA zayyAmuttOlyAdAya gatavAn kintu taddinaM vizrAmavAraH|

Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and started to walk!

10 tasmAd yihUdIyAH svasthaM naraM vyAharan adya vizrAmavArE zayanIyamAdAya na yAtavyam|

But that day was a Sabbath, so the Jews said to the one who had been healed: “It's the Sabbath! You aren't allowed to carry the pallet.”

11 tataH sa pratyavOcad yO mAM svastham akArSIt zayanIyam uttOlyAdAya yAtuM mAM sa EvAdizat|

He answered them: “The one who made me well—He said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”

12 tadA tE'pRcchan zayanIyam uttOlyAdAya yAtuM ya AjnjApayat sa kaH?

So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?”

13 kintu sa ka iti svasthIbhUtO nAjAnAd yatastasmin sthAnE janatAsattvAd yIzuH sthAnAntaram Agamat|

But the man who was cured did not know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared, there being a crowd in the place.

14 tataH paraM yEzu rmandirE taM naraM sAkSAtprApyAkathayat pazyEdAnIm anAmayO jAtOsi yathAdhikA durdazA na ghaTatE taddhEtOH pApaM karmma punarmAkArSIH|

After these things Jesus found him in the temple and said to him: “See, you are well. Don't sin any more, so that something worse doesn't happen to you.”

15 tataH sa gatvA yihUdIyAn avadad yIzu rmAm arOgiNam akArSIt|

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

16 tatO yIzu rvizrAmavArE karmmEdRzaM kRtavAn iti hEtO ryihUdIyAstaM tAPayitvA hantum acESTanta|

So because of this the Jews began persecuting Jesus and trying to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

17 yIzustAnAkhyat mama pitA yat kAryyaM karOti tadanurUpam ahamapi karOti|

But Jesus answered them, “Until now, my Father works, I also work.”

18 tatO yihUdIyAstaM hantuM punarayatanta yatO vizrAmavAraM nAmanyata tadEva kEvalaM na adhikantu IzvaraM svapitaraM prOcya svamapIzvaratulyaM kRtavAn|

So because of this they wanted to kill Him all the more, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath but was even saying that God was His own Father, making Himself equal with God!

19 pazcAd yIzuravadad yuSmAnahaM yathArthataraM vadAmi putraH pitaraM yadyat karmma kurvvantaM pazyati tadatiriktaM svEcchAtaH kimapi karmma karttuM na zaknOti| pitA yat karOti putrOpi tadEva karOti|

Then Jesus answered and said to them: “Most assuredly I say to you, the Son is not able to do anything from Himself, except something He sees the Father doing; because whatever things He does, precisely these the Son also does.

20 pitA putrE snEhaM karOti tasmAt svayaM yadyat karmma karOti tatsarvvaM putraM darzayati; yathA ca yuSmAkaM AzcaryyajnjAnaM janiSyatE tadartham itOpi mahAkarmma taM darzayiSyati|

For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.

21 vastutastu pitA yathA pramitAn utthApya sajivAn karOti tadvat putrOpi yaM yaM icchati taM taM sajIvaM karOti|

Now just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, just so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.

22 sarvvE pitaraM yathA satkurvvanti tathA putramapi satkArayituM pitA svayaM kasyApi vicAramakRtvA sarvvavicArANAM bhAraM putrE samarpitavAn|

In fact the Father does not judge anyone but has committed all the judging to the Son,

23 yaH putraM sat karOti sa tasya prErakamapi sat karOti|

so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

24 yuSmAnAhaM yathArthataraM vadAmi yO janO mama vAkyaM zrutvA matprErakE vizvasiti sOnantAyuH prApnOti kadApi daNPabAjanaM na bhavati nidhanAdutthAya paramAyuH prApnOti| (aiōnios g166)

“Most assuredly I say to you that the one listening to my word and believing on Him who sent me has eternal life; he will not go into judging but has moved out of the death into the Life. (aiōnios g166)

25 ahaM yuSmAnatiyathArthaM vadAmi yadA mRtA Izvaraputrasya ninAdaM zrOSyanti yE ca zrOSyanti tE sajIvA bhaviSyanti samaya EtAdRza AyAti varam idAnImapyupatiSThati|

“Most assuredly I say to you that a time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of the God, and those who listen will live.

26 pitA yathA svayanjjIvI tathA putrAya svayanjjIvitvAdhikAraM dattavAn|

Because just as the Father has life in Himself, just so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;

27 sa manuSyaputraH EtasmAt kAraNAt pitA daNPakaraNAdhikAramapi tasmin samarpitavAn|

furthermore He gave Him the authority to pass judgment, because He is Son of Man.

28 EtadarthE yUyam AzcaryyaM na manyadhvaM yatO yasmin samayE tasya ninAdaM zrutvA zmazAnasthAH sarvvE bahirAgamiSyanti samaya EtAdRza upasthAsyati|

Do not marvel at this, because a time is coming in which all those in the graves will hear His voice

29 tasmAd yE satkarmmANi kRtavantasta utthAya AyuH prApsyanti yE ca kukarmANi kRtavantasta utthAya daNPaM prApsyanti|

and will come out—those who did good things into the resurrection of life, but those who practiced evil things into the resurrection of condemnation.

30 ahaM svayaM kimapi karttuM na zaknOmi yathA zuNOmi tathA vicArayAmi mama vicAranjca nyAyyaH yatOhaM svIyAbhISTaM nEhitvA matprErayituH pituriSTam IhE|

I am not able to do anything from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judging is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me.

31 yadi svasmin svayaM sAkSyaM dadAmi tarhi tatsAkSyam AgrAhyaM bhavati;

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

32 kintu madarthE'parO janaH sAkSyaM dadAti madarthE tasya yat sAkSyaM tat satyam EtadapyahaM jAnAmi|

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

33 yuSmAbhi ryOhanaM prati lOkESu prEritESu sa satyakathAyAM sAkSyamadadAt|

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

34 mAnuSAdahaM sAkSyaM nOpEkSE tathApi yUyaM yathA paritrayadhvE tadartham idaM vAkyaM vadAmi|

Yet I do not accept the testimony from a man; but I say these things so that you may be saved.

35 yOhan dEdIpyamAnO dIpa iva tEjasvI sthitavAn yUyam alpakAlaM tasya dIptyAnandituM samamanyadhvaM|

That man was a burning, shining lamp, and for a time you were willing to be glad in his light.

36 kintu tatpramANAdapi mama gurutaraM pramANaM vidyatE pitA mAM prESya yadyat karmma samApayituM zakttimadadAt mayA kRtaM tattat karmma madarthE pramANaM dadAti|

But I have a greater testimony than John's, because the works that the Father gave me to complete—the very works that I am doing—they testify about me that the Father has sent me.

37 yaH pitA mAM prEritavAn mOpi madarthE pramANaM dadAti| tasya vAkyaM yuSmAbhiH kadApi na zrutaM tasya rUpanjca na dRSTaM

“Further, the Father who sent me has Himself testified about me. You have neither heard His voice nor seen His form at any time.

38 tasya vAkyanjca yuSmAkam antaH kadApi sthAnaM nApnOti yataH sa yaM prESitavAn yUyaM tasmin na vizvasitha|

Nor do you have His word abiding in you, because you do not believe on the very one whom He sent.

39 dharmmapustakAni yUyam AlOcayadhvaM tai rvAkyairanantAyuH prApsyAma iti yUyaM budhyadhvE taddharmmapustakAni madarthE pramANaM dadati| (aiōnios g166)

You examine the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life, yet they are the very ones that testify about me. (aiōnios g166)

40 tathApi yUyaM paramAyuHprAptayE mama saMnidhim na jigamiSatha|

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

41 ahaM mAnuSEbhyaH satkAraM na gRhlAmi|

“I do not accept glory from people.

42 ahaM yuSmAn jAnAmi; yuSmAkamantara IzvaraprEma nAsti|

Rather I have come to know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

43 ahaM nijapitu rnAmnAgatOsmi tathApi mAM na gRhlItha kintu kazcid yadi svanAmnA samAgamiSyati tarhi taM grahISyatha|

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

44 yUyam IzvarAt satkAraM na ciSTatvA kEvalaM parasparaM satkAram cEd AdadhvvE tarhi kathaM vizvasituM zaknutha?

How can you believe, who receive glory from men and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45 putuH samIpE'haM yuSmAn apavadiSyAmIti mA cintayata yasmin, yasmin yuSmAkaM vizvasaH saEva mUsA yuSmAn apavadati|

“Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. Moses is the one who accuses you, on whom you have set your hope.

46 yadi yUyaM tasmin vyazvasiSyata tarhi mayyapi vyazvasiSyata, yat sa mayi likhitavAn|

Because if you really believed Moses you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

47 tatO yadi tEna likhitavAni na pratitha tarhi mama vAkyAni kathaM pratyESyatha?

But since you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my sayings?”
