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 this came the feast of the Jews, so 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 Gate there is a pool, called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five porticoes.
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 the porticoes were lying a great multitude of disabled people, including the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed, who were waiting for the moving 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 at times an angel would go down into the pool and stir up the water. The first person who stepped in after the water was stirred up was healed of whatever disease 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.
One man was there who had been suffering in his disability 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, knowing that he had been in that condition for a long time already, he said to him, “Do yoʋ 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 disabled man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am going, another goes down before me.”
8 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nanoga, phutha phate ya gago o ye gae!”
Jesus said to him, “Rise, pick up yoʋr 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, so he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a 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!”
So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for yoʋ to pick up yoʋr mat.”
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 said to me, ‘Pick up yoʋr mat and walk.’”
12 Ba mmotsa ba re, “Yo o neng a bua selo se se ntseng jalo ke mang?”
So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to yoʋ, ‘Pick up yoʋr mat 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 had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd in that 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 this Jesus found the man in the temple courts and said to him, “Behold, yoʋ have been made well; do not sin anymore, lest something worse happen to yoʋ.”
15 Mme monna yo o fodisitsweng a ya go senka baeteledipele ba Sejuta mme a ba bolelela gore o fodisitswe ke Jesu.
Then the man went 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.
So the Jews began persecuting Jesus and seeking to kill him, because he was doing 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 Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working even now, and I too am working.”
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.
So the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling 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.
So Jesus responded to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does in the same way.
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 that he himself does. And he will show him greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
21 Ebile o tlaa tsosa mo baswing mongwe fela yo ene a batlang go mo tsosa, fela jaaka Rara a dira.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.
22 Mme Rara o neetse Morwa katlholo yotlhe; ya sebe
The Father judges no one, but 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 may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who 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 say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to 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, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it 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 he has granted the Son to have life in himself.
27 le go atlhola dibe tsa batho botlhe gonne ke Morwa Modimo.
And he has given the Son 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, because an hour is coming in which all who 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 come out, those who have done good to a resurrection of life, and those who have done evil 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 do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own 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 testimony 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 he gives 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.
Now I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 Johane o ne a phatsima sentle ka lobakanyana, mme go ne ga lo solegela molemo lwa itumela,
John was a burning and shining lamp, and you 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 John's. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, testify 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 who sent me has himself 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.
And you do not have his word abiding in you, for 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 eternal life, and it is these that testify about me, (aiōnios g166)
40 “Mme ga lo tle kwa go nna gore ke lo neye botshelo jo jo bo sa khutleng!
yet you are not willing 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 men.
But I know that you do not have the love of God within 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 the name of my Father, and yet 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 when you receive glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the one and 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 before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in 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.
If you had 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?”
