< Johani 5 >
1 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema kumutambo wavaJudha.
After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
2 Zvino muJerusarema mune dziva riri pedyo neSuo raMakwai, rinonzi Bhetesdha nechiHebheru, uye rakapoteredzwa namabiravira mashanu.
And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:
3 Imomo vanhu vazhinji vakaremara vaisivatamo, mapofu, zvirema navakafa mitezo.
In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.
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.
For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.
5 Mumwe murume akanga arimo akanga arwara kwamakore makumi matatu namasere.
And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.
6 Jesu akati amuona avete imomo, uye aiziva kuti akanga aita mararamiro iwayo kwenguva refu, akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuporeswa here?”
When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 Murwere akati, “Ishe, handina munhu anondibatsira kuti ndipinde mudziva mvura painenge yabvongodzwa. Ndichiri kuedza kupinda, mumwe anonditangira.”
The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.
8 Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Simuka! Tora rukukwe rwako ufambe.”
Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.
9 Pakarepo murume uyu akaporeswa; akatora rukukwe rwake akafamba. Zuva rakaitika izvi raiva reSabata.
And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.
10 Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kumurume uya akanga aporeswa, “Nhasi iSabata; murayiro unokurambidza kuti utakure rukukwe rwako.”
The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.
11 Asi iye akapindura akati, “Murume andiporesa ati kwandiri, ‘Takura rukukwe rwako ufambe.’”
He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.
12 Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndianiko murume uyu akutaurira kuti urutakure ufambe?”
Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?
13 Murume uya akanga aporeswa akanga asingazivi kuti ainge ari ani, nokuti Jesu akanga apinda mukati meungano yakanga iripo.
And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.
14 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akamuwana ari mutemberi uye akati kwaari, “Tarira, wapora. Usatadzazve kuti urege kuwirwa nechimwe chinhu chakaipisisa.”
And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.
15 Murume akabva akaenda akandoudza vaJudha kuti ndiJesu akanga amuporesa.
The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.
16 Saka nokuda kwokuti Jesu akanga achiita zvinhu izvi nomusi weSabata, vaJudha vakamutambudza.
And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 Jesu akati kwavari, “Baba vangu vanoramba vari pabasa ravo kusvikira nhasi chaiye, uye neniwo, ndiri kushanda.”
But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.
18 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vaJudha vakaedza zvakanyanya kwazvo kuti vamuuraye; nokuti akanga asingaputsi Sabata chete, asi akanga achitiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall 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.
Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.
20 Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana uye vanomuratidza zvose zvavanoita ivo. Hongu, kuti imi mushamiswe, vachamuratidza kunyange zvinhu zvikuru kwazvo kupfuura izvi.
For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.
21 Nokuti sezvo Baba vachimutsa vakafa uye vachivapa upenyu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anopa upenyu kuno uyo waanofarira kuti ape.
For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.
22 Pamusoro paizvozvo, Baba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwose,
For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,
23 kuti vose vakudze Mwanakomana sokukudza kwavanoita Baba. Uyo asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath 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 )
Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life. (aiōnios )
25 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti, nguva inouya uye yatosvika zvino yokuti vakafa vachanzwa inzwi roMwanakomana waMwari uye avo vanonzwa vachararama.
Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.
26 Nokuti sezvo Baba vano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana kuti ave noupenyu maari.
For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,
27 Uye vakamupa simba rokuti atonge nokuti ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.
28 “Musashamiswa pane izvi, kuti nguva inouya yokuti vose vari mumakuva avo vachanzwa inzwi rake
Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.
29 uye vachamuka; vose vakaita zvakanaka vachamuka vachienda kuupenyu, uye avo vakaita zvakaipa vachamuka vachienda kukutongwa.
And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.
30 Ini ndoga handigoni kuita chinhu; ndinongotonga sezvandinenge ndanzwa, uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki kuzvifadza asi iye akandituma.
I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
31 “Kana ndichizvipupurira, uchapupu hwangu hahuna maturo.
If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.
32 Pano mumwe anondipupurira, uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake pamusoro pangu ndohwechokwadi.
There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.
33 “Makatuma nhume kuna Johani naiye akapupurira chokwadi.
Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.
34 Hazvirevi kuti ndinogamuchira kupupura kwavanhu; asi ndareva izvi kuti muponeswe.
But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.
35 Johani akanga ari mwenje waipfuta uye uchivhenekera, uye imi makasarudza kufara kwenguva duku muchiedza chake.
He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced 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 haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me.
37 Uye ivo Baba vakandituma vakapupura pachavo pamusoro pangu. Hamuna kutombonzwa inzwi ravo kana kuona chimiro chavo,
And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape.
38 uye shoko ravo harigari mukati menyu, nokuti hamutendi iye waakatuma.
And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not.
39 Munoshingaira kunzvera magwaro nokuti munofunga kuti maari mune upenyu husingaperi. Magwaro iwaya anopupura pamusoro pangu, (aiōnios )
Searche the Scriptures: for in them ye thinke to haue eternall life, and they are they which testifie of me. (aiōnios )
40 asi imi munoramba kuuya kwandiri kuti muve noupenyu.
But ye will not come to me, that ye might haue life.
41 “Handigamuchiri kurumbidzwa kunobva kuvanhu,
I receiue not the prayse of men.
42 asi ndinokuzivai. Ndinoziva kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mumwoyo yenyu.
But I know you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you.
43 Ndakauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamundigamuchiri; asi kana mumwewo zvake akauya muzita rake, muchamugamuchira.
I am come in my Fathers Name, and ye receiue me not: if another shall come in his owne name, him will ye receiue.
44 Mungatenda seiko kana muchikudzana pachenyu asi musingashingairiri kuwana kurumbidzwa kunobva kuna Mwari oga?
How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth of God alone?
45 “Asi musafunga kuti ndichakupomerai mhosva pamberi paBaba. Mupomeri wenyu ndiMozisi, wamunoisa tariro yenyu maari.
Doe not thinke that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 Dai maitenda Mozisi, mungadai maitendawo ini, nokuti akanyora nezvangu.
For had ye beleeued Moses, ye would haue beleeued me: for he wrote of me.
47 Asi sezvo musingatendi zvaakanyora, muchatenda seiko zvandinoreva?”
But if ye beleeue not his writings, how shall ye beleeue my wordes?
