Johani 5
1 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema kumutambo wavaJudha.
Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Zvino muJerusarema mune dziva riri pedyo neSuo raMakwai, rinonzi Bhetesdha nechiHebheru, uye rakapoteredzwa namabiravira mashanu.
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3 Imomo vanhu vazhinji vakaremara vaisivatamo, mapofu, zvirema navakafa mitezo.
On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
4 Nguva nenguva mutumwa waShe aiburukiramo achibvongodza mvura. Munhu aitanga kupinda mudziva shure kwenguva ipi zvayo yainge yabvongodzwa mvura aiporeswa pachirwere chipi zvacho chaainge anacho.
5 Mumwe murume akanga arimo akanga arwara kwamakore makumi matatu namasere.
One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 Jesu akati amuona avete imomo, uye aiziva kuti akanga aita mararamiro iwayo kwenguva refu, akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuporeswa here?”
When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 Murwere akati, “Ishe, handina munhu anondibatsira kuti ndipinde mudziva mvura painenge yabvongodzwa. Ndichiri kuedza kupinda, mumwe anonditangira.”
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8 Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Simuka! Tora rukukwe rwako ufambe.”
Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9 Pakarepo murume uyu akaporeswa; akatora rukukwe rwake akafamba. Zuva rakaitika izvi raiva reSabata.
Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10 Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kumurume uya akanga aporeswa, “Nhasi iSabata; murayiro unokurambidza kuti utakure rukukwe rwako.”
so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11 Asi iye akapindura akati, “Murume andiporesa ati kwandiri, ‘Takura rukukwe rwako ufambe.’”
But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12 Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndianiko murume uyu akutaurira kuti urutakure ufambe?”
“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13 Murume uya akanga aporeswa akanga asingazivi kuti ainge ari ani, nokuti Jesu akanga apinda mukati meungano yakanga iripo.
But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
14 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akamuwana ari mutemberi uye akati kwaari, “Tarira, wapora. Usatadzazve kuti urege kuwirwa nechimwe chinhu chakaipisisa.”
Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 Murume akabva akaenda akandoudza vaJudha kuti ndiJesu akanga amuporesa.
And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Saka nokuda kwokuti Jesu akanga achiita zvinhu izvi nomusi weSabata, vaJudha vakamutambudza.
Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17 Jesu akati kwavari, “Baba vangu vanoramba vari pabasa ravo kusvikira nhasi chaiye, uye neniwo, ndiri kushanda.”
But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
18 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vaJudha vakaedza zvakanyanya kwazvo kuti vamuuraye; nokuti akanga asingaputsi Sabata chete, asi akanga achitiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, Mwanakomana haagoni kuita chinhu ari oga; anongogona kuita zvaanoona Baba vake vachiita, nokuti zvose zvinoitwa naBaba, Mwanakomana anozviitawo.
So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
20 Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana uye vanomuratidza zvose zvavanoita ivo. Hongu, kuti imi mushamiswe, vachamuratidza kunyange zvinhu zvikuru kwazvo kupfuura izvi.
The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21 Nokuti sezvo Baba vachimutsa vakafa uye vachivapa upenyu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anopa upenyu kuno uyo waanofarira kuti ape.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22 Pamusoro paizvozvo, Baba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwose,
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
23 kuti vose vakudze Mwanakomana sokukudza kwavanoita Baba. Uyo asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24 “Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, ani naani anonzwa shoko rangu uye achitenda uyo akandituma, ano upenyu husingaperi uye haachazotongwi, abva murufu uye aenda kuupenyu. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, nguva inouya uye yatosvika zvino yokuti vakafa vachanzwa inzwi roMwanakomana waMwari uye avo vanonzwa vachararama.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26 Nokuti sezvo Baba vano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana kuti ave noupenyu maari.
For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27 Uye vakamupa simba rokuti atonge nokuti ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
28 “Musashamiswa pane izvi, kuti nguva inouya yokuti vose vari mumakuva avo vachanzwa inzwi rake
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
29 uye vachamuka; vose vakaita zvakanaka vachamuka vachienda kuupenyu, uye avo vakaita zvakaipa vachamuka vachienda kukutongwa.
and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30 Ini ndoga handigoni kuita chinhu; ndinongotonga sezvandinenge ndanzwa, uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki kuzvifadza asi iye akandituma.
I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
31 “Kana ndichizvipupurira, uchapupu hwangu hahuna maturo.
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32 Pano mumwe anondipupurira, uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake pamusoro pangu ndohwechokwadi.
There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33 “Makatuma nhume kuna Johani naiye akapupurira chokwadi.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Hazvirevi kuti ndinogamuchira kupupura kwavanhu; asi ndareva izvi kuti muponeswe.
Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 Johani akanga ari mwenje waipfuta uye uchivhenekera, uye imi makasarudza kufara kwenguva duku muchiedza chake.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36 “Ndino uchapupu hukuru kupfuura hwaJohani. Nokuti iro basa chairo randakapiwa naBaba kuti ndiripedze, uye randiri kuita, rinondipupurira kuti Baba vakandituma.
But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37 Uye ivo Baba vakandituma vakapupura pachavo pamusoro pangu. Hamuna kutombonzwa inzwi ravo kana kuona chimiro chavo,
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 uye shoko ravo harigari mukati menyu, nokuti hamutendi iye waakatuma.
nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 Munoshingaira kunzvera magwaro nokuti munofunga kuti maari mune upenyu husingaperi. Magwaro iwaya anopupura pamusoro pangu, (aiōnios g166)
You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, (aiōnios g166)
40 asi imi munoramba kuuya kwandiri kuti muve noupenyu.
yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 “Handigamuchiri kurumbidzwa kunobva kuvanhu,
I do not accept glory from men,
42 asi ndinokuzivai. Ndinoziva kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mumwoyo yenyu.
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 Ndakauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamundigamuchiri; asi kana mumwewo zvake akauya muzita rake, muchamugamuchira.
I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Mungatenda seiko kana muchikudzana pachenyu asi musingashingairiri kuwana kurumbidzwa kunobva kuna Mwari oga?
How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 “Asi musafunga kuti ndichakupomerai mhosva pamberi paBaba. Mupomeri wenyu ndiMozisi, wamunoisa tariro yenyu maari.
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46 Dai maitenda Mozisi, mungadai maitendawo ini, nokuti akanyora nezvangu.
If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47 Asi sezvo musingatendi zvaakanyora, muchatenda seiko zvandinoreva?”
But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
