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 Jewish festival, 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 in Jerusalem by the sheep area there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beth Hesda," 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 multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
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.
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.
A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
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 him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made 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 sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am on my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."
8 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nanoga, phutha phate ya gago o ye gae!”
Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, 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.
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the 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!”
So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."
11 Mme ene a ba fetola a re, “Monna yo o mphodisitseng o rile ke e tsee.”
But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
12 Ba mmotsa ba re, “Yo o neng a bua selo se se ntseng jalo ke mang?”
Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up 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 one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd 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!”
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
15 Mme monna yo o fodisitsweng a ya go senka baeteledipele ba Sejuta mme a ba bolelela gore o fodisitswe ke Jesu.
The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Mme ba simolola go gagautlha Jesu ba mo raya ba re ke motlola melao ya Sabata.
For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Rre o tsweletse pele ka go dira tshiamo, mme le nna ke dira jaaka ene.”
But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
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.
For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with 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 them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
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. He will show him greater works than these, so that you 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 the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 Mme Rara o neetse Morwa katlholo yotlhe; ya sebe
For the Father judges no one, 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.
that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor 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 tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of 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 tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; 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, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 le go atlhola dibe tsa batho botlhe gonne ke Morwa Modimo.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the 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,
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs 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 out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the 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 of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One 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!
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
You 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 the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Johane o ne a phatsima sentle ka lobakanyana, mme go ne ga lo solegela molemo lwa itumela,
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while 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 the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, 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.
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 “Mme ga lo mo reetse, gonne lo gana go ntumela, nna yo ke romilweng kwa go lona ka molaetsa wa Modimo.
You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
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)
You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have everlasting life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 “Mme ga lo tle kwa go nna gore ke lo neye botshelo jo jo bo sa khutleng!
But you are unwilling to come to me so that you 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 people.
But I know you, that you do not have God's love in 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 you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
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 you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes 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.
"Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
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 you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Mme ka lo sa dumele se a se kwadileng, ga go hakgamatse fa le nna lo sa ntumele.”
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
