yohanaḥ 5

1 tataḥ paraṁ yihūdīyānām utsava upasthite yīśu ryirūśālamaṁ gatavān|

After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 tasminnagare meṣanāmno dvārasya samīpe ibrīyabhāṣayā baithesdā nāmnā piṣkariṇī pañcaghaṭṭayuktāsīt|

Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

3 tasyāsteṣu ghaṭṭeṣu kilālakampanam apekṣya andhakhañcaśuṣkāṅgādayo bahavo rogiṇaḥ patantastiṣṭhanti sma|

In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

4 yato viśeṣakāle tasya saraso vāri svargīyadūta etyākampayat tatkīlālakampanāt paraṁ yaḥ kaścid rogī prathamaṁ pānīyamavārohat sa eva tatkṣaṇād rogamukto'bhavat|

For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

5 tadāṣṭātriṁśadvarṣāṇi yāvad rogagrasta ekajanastasmin sthāne sthitavān|

But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 yīśustaṁ śayitaṁ dṛṣṭvā bahukālikarogīti jñātvā vyāhṛtavān tvaṁ kiṁ svastho bubhūṣasi?

Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

7 tato rogī kathitavān he maheccha yadā kīlālaṁ kampate tadā māṁ puṣkariṇīm avarohayituṁ mama kopi nāsti, tasmān mama gamanakāle kaścidanyo'gro gatvā avarohati|

The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

8 tadā yīśurakathayad uttiṣṭha, tava śayyāmuttolya gṛhītvā yāhi|

Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

9 sa tatkṣaṇāt svastho bhūtvā śayyāmuttolyādāya gatavān kintu taddinaṁ viśrāmavāraḥ|

And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

10 tasmād yihūdīyāḥ svasthaṁ naraṁ vyāharan adya viśrāmavāre śayanīyamādāya na yātavyam|

The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

11 tataḥ sa pratyavocad yo māṁ svastham akārṣīt śayanīyam uttolyādāya yātuṁ māṁ sa evādiśat|

He answered them, He that made me well, he said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

12 tadā te'pṛcchan śayanīyam uttolyādāya yātuṁ ya ājñāpayat sa kaḥ?

They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

13 kintu sa ka iti svasthībhūto nājānād yatastasmin sthāne janatāsattvād yīśuḥ sthānāntaram āgamat|

But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

14 tataḥ paraṁ yeśu rmandire taṁ naraṁ sākṣātprāpyākathayat paśyedānīm anāmayo jātosi yathādhikā durdaśā na ghaṭate taddhetoḥ pāpaṁ karmma punarmākārṣīḥ|

After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

15 tataḥ sa gatvā yihūdīyān avadad yīśu rmām arogiṇam akārṣīt|

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

16 tato yīśu rviśrāmavāre karmmedṛśaṁ kṛtavān iti heto ryihūdīyāstaṁ tāḍayitvā hantum aceṣṭanta|

And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.

17 yīśustānākhyat mama pitā yat kāryyaṁ karoti tadanurūpam ahamapi karoti|

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

18 tato yihūdīyāstaṁ hantuṁ punarayatanta yato viśrāmavāraṁ nāmanyata tadeva kevalaṁ na adhikantu īśvaraṁ svapitaraṁ procya svamapīśvaratulyaṁ kṛtavān|

For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 paścād yīśuravadad yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi putraḥ pitaraṁ yadyat karmma kurvvantaṁ paśyati tadatiriktaṁ svecchātaḥ kimapi karmma karttuṁ na śaknoti| pitā yat karoti putropi tadeva karoti|

Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

20 pitā putre snehaṁ karoti tasmāt svayaṁ yadyat karmma karoti tatsarvvaṁ putraṁ darśayati; yathā ca yuṣmākaṁ āścaryyajñānaṁ janiṣyate tadartham itopi mahākarmma taṁ darśayiṣyati|

For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

21 vastutastu pitā yathā pramitān utthāpya sajivān karoti tadvat putropi yaṁ yaṁ icchati taṁ taṁ sajīvaṁ karoti|

For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

22 sarvve pitaraṁ yathā satkurvvanti tathā putramapi satkārayituṁ pitā svayaṁ kasyāpi vicāramakṛtvā sarvvavicārāṇāṁ bhāraṁ putre samarpitavān|

for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

23 yaḥ putraṁ sat karoti sa tasya prerakamapi sat karoti|

that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

24 yuṣmānāhaṁ yathārthataraṁ vadāmi yo jano mama vākyaṁ śrutvā matprerake viśvasiti sonantāyuḥ prāpnoti kadāpi daṇḍabājanaṁ na bhavati nidhanādutthāya paramāyuḥ prāpnoti| (aiōnios g166)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)

25 ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi yadā mṛtā īśvaraputrasya ninādaṁ śroṣyanti ye ca śroṣyanti te sajīvā bhaviṣyanti samaya etādṛśa āyāti varam idānīmapyupatiṣṭhati|

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

26 pitā yathā svayañjīvī tathā putrāya svayañjīvitvādhikāraṁ dattavān|

For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,

27 sa manuṣyaputraḥ etasmāt kāraṇāt pitā daṇḍakaraṇādhikāramapi tasmin samarpitavān|

and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.

28 etadarthe yūyam āścaryyaṁ na manyadhvaṁ yato yasmin samaye tasya ninādaṁ śrutvā śmaśānasthāḥ sarvve bahirāgamiṣyanti samaya etādṛśa upasthāsyati|

Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 tasmād ye satkarmmāṇi kṛtavantasta utthāya āyuḥ prāpsyanti ye ca kukarmāṇi kṛtavantasta utthāya daṇḍaṁ prāpsyanti|

and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

30 ahaṁ svayaṁ kimapi karttuṁ na śaknomi yathā śuṇomi tathā vicārayāmi mama vicārañca nyāyyaḥ yatohaṁ svīyābhīṣṭaṁ nehitvā matprerayituḥ pituriṣṭam īhe|

I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

31 yadi svasmin svayaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi tarhi tatsākṣyam āgrāhyaṁ bhavati;

If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

32 kintu madarthe'paro janaḥ sākṣyaṁ dadāti madarthe tasya yat sākṣyaṁ tat satyam etadapyahaṁ jānāmi|

It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

33 yuṣmābhi ryohanaṁ prati lokeṣu preriteṣu sa satyakathāyāṁ sākṣyamadadāt|

Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

34 mānuṣādahaṁ sākṣyaṁ nopekṣe tathāpi yūyaṁ yathā paritrayadhve tadartham idaṁ vākyaṁ vadāmi|

But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that ye might be saved.

35 yohan dedīpyamāno dīpa iva tejasvī sthitavān yūyam alpakālaṁ tasya dīptyānandituṁ samamanyadhvaṁ|

He was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36 kintu tatpramāṇādapi mama gurutaraṁ pramāṇaṁ vidyate pitā māṁ preṣya yadyat karmma samāpayituṁ śakttimadadāt mayā kṛtaṁ tattat karmma madarthe pramāṇaṁ dadāti|

But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

37 yaḥ pitā māṁ preritavān mopi madarthe pramāṇaṁ dadāti| tasya vākyaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ kadāpi na śrutaṁ tasya rūpañca na dṛṣṭaṁ

And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

38 tasya vākyañca yuṣmākam antaḥ kadāpi sthānaṁ nāpnoti yataḥ sa yaṁ preṣitavān yūyaṁ tasmin na viśvasitha|

and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe.

39 dharmmapustakāni yūyam ālocayadhvaṁ tai rvākyairanantāyuḥ prāpsyāma iti yūyaṁ budhyadhve taddharmmapustakāni madarthe pramāṇaṁ dadati| (aiōnios g166)

Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; (aiōnios g166)

40 tathāpi yūyaṁ paramāyuḥprāptaye mama saṁnidhim na jigamiṣatha|

and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

41 ahaṁ mānuṣebhyaḥ satkāraṁ na gṛhlāmi|

I do not receive glory from men,

42 ahaṁ yuṣmān jānāmi; yuṣmākamantara īśvaraprema nāsti|

but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 ahaṁ nijapitu rnāmnāgatosmi tathāpi māṁ na gṛhlītha kintu kaścid yadi svanāmnā samāgamiṣyati tarhi taṁ grahīṣyatha|

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 yūyam īśvarāt satkāraṁ na ciṣṭatvā kevalaṁ parasparaṁ satkāram ced ādadhvve tarhi kathaṁ viśvasituṁ śaknutha?

How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?

45 putuḥ samīpe'haṁ yuṣmān apavadiṣyāmīti mā cintayata yasmin, yasmin yuṣmākaṁ viśvasaḥ saeva mūsā yuṣmān apavadati|

Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

46 yadi yūyaṁ tasmin vyaśvasiṣyata tarhi mayyapi vyaśvasiṣyata, yat sa mayi likhitavān|

for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

47 tato yadi tena likhitavāni na pratitha tarhi mama vākyāni kathaṁ pratyeṣyatha?

But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
