Johane 5
1 Mme erile morago ga mo o Jesu a boela kwa Jerusalema ka ntlha ya letsatsi lengwe la malatsi a boikhutso a tumelo ya Sejuta.
After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Mo mo-tseng, gaufi le kgoro ya dinku go ne go na le Lekadiba ja Betheseda le na le maobo a le matlhano.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the place pertaining to sheep, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Bontsintsi jwa batho ba ba lwalang, ba ba tlho-tsang, ba ba foufetseng, kgotsa ba ba suleng mefama ba ne ba ntse mo maobong ba letetse go fetlhega ga metsi,
In these lay a great multitude of those who are feeble, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the movement of the water.
4 gonne moengele wa Morena o ne a tle a tle go fetlha metsi, mme motho wa ntlha go tlolela mo teng o ne a fodisiwa.
For an agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had.
5 Mongwe wa banna ba ba neng ba namaletse gone foo, o ne a sa bolo go lwala mo dingwageng di le masome mararo le bofera bobedi.
And a certain man was there who was thirty-eight years in the weakness.
6 Erile fa Jesu a mmona ebile a itse lobaka lo a saleng a lwala ka lone a mmotsa a re, “A o batla go fola?”
When Jesus saw this man lying down, and knew that he fares now a long time, he says to him, Do thou desire to become well?
7 Mme monna yo o lwalang a re, “Ga ke kgone, ka gore ga ke na ope yo o ntsenyang mo lekadibeng ka nako ya phetlho ya metsi, e a re fa ke sa ntse ke leka go tlolela mo teng, mongwe a bo a nthaka.”
The infirmed man answered him, Sir, I have no man so that when the water is agitated he might put me into the pool, but while I am coming another steps down before me.
8 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nanoga, phutha phate ya gago o ye gae!”
Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk.
9 Ka bonako monna a fola! A phutha phate a simolola go tsamaya! Mme go ne go le letsatsi la Sabata fa kgakgamatso e e diragala. Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba nna kgatlhanong le tiro eo.
And straightaway the man became well, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was sabbath on that day.
10 Ba raya monna yo o fodisitsweng ba re, “Ga o a tshwanela go dira ka letsatsi la Sabata! Ga go kafa molaong go tshola phate eo!”
The Jews therefore said to the man who was cured, It is sabbath. It is not permitted for thee to take up the bed.
11 Mme ene a ba fetola a re, “Monna yo o mphodisitseng o rile ke e tsee.”
He answered them, The man who made me well, that man said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.
12 Ba mmotsa ba re, “Yo o neng a bua selo se se ntseng jalo ke mang?”
Therefore they asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13 Monna yo o fodisitsweng a bo a sa itse gore ke mang, gonne Jesu o ne a nyeletse mo bontsintsing jwa batho.
But the man who was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus withdrew, a multitude being in the place.
14 Mme erile kwa morago Jesu a mmona mo Tempeleng mme a mo raya a re, “Jaanong o fodile; o se ka wa tlhola o leofa gape, ka gore fa o ka leofa e ka re kgotsa wa diragalelwa ke se se bosula bogolo!”
After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.
15 Mme monna yo o fodisitsweng a ya go senka baeteledipele ba Sejuta mme a ba bolelela gore o fodisitswe ke Jesu.
The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well.
16 Mme ba simolola go gagautlha Jesu ba mo raya ba re ke motlola melao ya Sabata.
And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a sabbath.
17 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Rre o tsweletse pele ka go dira tshiamo, mme le nna ke dira jaaka ene.”
But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now and I work.
18 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba gakala thata ba batla go mmolaya gonne mo godimo ga go tlola melao ya Sabata, o ne a re Modimo ke rraagwe, ka go bua jalo a itekanya le Modimo.
Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Ga go na sepe se Morwa a ka se dirang ka boene. O dira fela se a bonang Rara a se dira, ka tsela e e tshwanang.
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever he may do, the Son also does these things in like manner.
20 Gonne Rara o rata Morwa, o mmolelela sengwe le sengwe se a se dirang; mme Morwa o tlaa dira dikgakgamatso tse dikgolo go feta phodiso ya monna yo!
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. And he will show him works greater than these, so that ye may marvel.
21 Ebile o tlaa tsosa mo baswing mongwe fela yo ene a batlang go mo tsosa, fela jaaka Rara a dira.
For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.
22 Mme Rara o neetse Morwa katlholo yotlhe; ya sebe
For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 gore mongwe le mongwe a tle a tlotle Morwa, fela jaaka ba tlotla Rara. Mme fa lo gana go tlotla Morwa Modimo, yo o mo romileng kwa go lona, hong ga lo tlotle Rara gotlhelele.
so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.
24 “Ke bua ke gatelela gore mongwe yo o reetsang molaetsa wa me a bo a dumela mo Modimong o o nthomileng, o na le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, mme ga a na go sekisiwa ka ntlha ya dibe tsa gagwe, gonne o setse a dule mo losong a tsenye mo botshelong. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Mme ke bua ka tlhoafalo ke re, ‘Lobaka lo e tla, tota legale lo setse lo fitlhile, fa baswi ba tlaa utlwang lentswe la me, lentswe la Morwa Modimo, mme ba ba reetsang ba tlaa tshela.’
Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26 Rara ka esi o na le botshelo, jalo he o neetse Morwawe botshelo joo gore bo nne mo go ene ka esi,
For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself.
27 le go atlhola dibe tsa batho botlhe gonne ke Morwa Modimo.
And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.
28 Se gakgamaleng! Ruri lobaka lo e tla lo baswi botlhe mo mabitleng a bone ba tlaa utlwang lentswe la Morwa Modimo,
Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice,
29 mme ba ba dirileng tshiamo ba tlaa tsoga gape go ya botshelong jo bo sa khutleng; mme ba ba neng ba tsweletse mo bosuleng, ba tlaa bo ba tsogela katlholong.
and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.
30 Mme ga ke dire katlholo epe ke sa rerisa Rara. Ke atlhola jaaka ke laetswe. Mme katlholo ya me e siame ebile e tlhamaletse gonne e ka fa go rateng ga Modimo o o nthomileng, ga se ya me fela.
I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 Fa ke bua ka bo nna, ga ke dumelwe.
If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 “Mme mongwe, ebong Johane wa Mokolobetsi, le ene o bua ka ga me. Lo ne lwa tswa lwa ya go reetsa thero ya gagwe, mme ke lo tlhomamisetsa gore mo a go buang ka ga me ke boammaaruri!
There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid.
Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Mme bosupi jwa boammaaruri jo ke nang nang najo, ga bo tswe mo mothong, lo gakolotswe ka bosupi jwa ga Johane gore lo tle lo dumele mo go nna lo bolokwe.
But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved.
35 Johane o ne a phatsima sentle ka lobakanyana, mme go ne ga lo solegela molemo lwa itumela,
That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.
36 mme Nna ke na le mosupi yo mogolo go feta Johane. Ke raya dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirang; ke di neetswe ke Rara, mme di supa gore Rara o nthomile.
But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me.
37 Mme Rara le ene o supile ka ga me, le fa a sa lo itshupegetsa ka sebele, kgotsa a bua le lona lo lebaganye mo matlhong.
And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me. Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance.
38 “Mme ga lo mo reetse, gonne lo gana go ntumela, nna yo ke romilweng kwa go lona ka molaetsa wa Modimo.
And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this.
39 Lo phuruphutsa dikwalo tsa tumelo, gonne lo dumela gore di lo naya botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. Mme dikwalo di raya nna! (aiōnios g166)
Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 “Mme ga lo tle kwa go nna gore ke lo neye botshelo jo jo bo sa khutleng!
And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life.
41 Go rata kgotsa go sa rateng ga lona ga go reye sepe mo go nna gonne jaaka ke itse sentle, ga go na lorato lwa Modimo mo go lona.
I do not receive glory from men.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God within yourselves.
43 Ke a itse, gonne ke tsile kwa go lona ke emetse Rre mme lo gana go nkamogela, le fa go ntse jalo lo ipaakanyeditse go amogela ba ba sa rongwang ke ene, mme ba ikemetse ka bo bone!
I have come in my Father's name, and ye do not accept me. If another man should come in his own name, ye will accept that man.
44 Ga go hakgametse fa lo sa dumele! Gonne lo tlotlana ka boitumelo, mme ga lo na sepe ka ga tlotlo e e tswang Modimong o o osi!
How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God?
45 “Mme ga se nna yo ke tlaa lo bayang molato ka ga selo se kwa go Rara; ke Moshe yo o tlaa dirang jalo! Moshe, yo mo melaong ya gagwe lo tlhomileng ditsholofelo tsa lona tsa legodimo.
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped.
46 “Gonne lo ganne go dumela Moshe. O kwadile ka ga me, mme lo gana go mo dumela, jalo he, le nna lo gana go ntumela.
For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me.
47 Mme ka lo sa dumele se a se kwadileng, ga go hakgamatse fa le nna lo sa ntumele.”
But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?
