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 the 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 at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, 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 were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.
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.
And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity 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?”
Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish 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 diseased man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goeth down before me.
8 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nanoga, phutha phate ya gago o ye gae!”
Jesus saith to him, Rise, 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 immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
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 him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful 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, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T
12 Ba mmotsa ba re, “Yo o neng a bua selo se se ntseng jalo ke mang?”
hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take 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 diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd 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!”
Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall 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 went away, and told the Jews 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.
And on this account the Jews 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 working up to this time, 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.
On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was 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.
Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth 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 loveth the Son, and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and greater works than these will he show him, so that ye will wonder.
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 raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
22 Mme Rara o neetse Morwa katlholo yotlhe; ya sebe
For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed 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, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not 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 do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath 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 do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that 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 hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 le go atlhola dibe tsa batho botlhe gonne ke Morwa Modimo.
And he 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; for the hour is coming, 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 forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.
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 just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31 Fa ke bua ka bo nna, ga ke dumelwe.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
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 beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness 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; but these things I say, that ye 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 ye were willing for a season to rejoice 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 hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath 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 who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye 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.
And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.
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 yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; (aiōnios g166)
40 “Mme ga lo tle kwa go nna gore ke lo neye botshelo jo jo bo sa khutleng!
and ye are not willing to come to me, 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 receive not honor from men;
but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
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 receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
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 while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is 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 shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed 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 ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
47 Mme ka lo sa dumele se a se kwadileng, ga go hakgamatse fa le nna lo sa ntumele.”
But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
