Johani 5
1 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akakwira kuJerusarema kumutambo wavaJudha.
After these things 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.
And there was there in Jerusalem a certain place of baptizing, which was called in Hebrew Bethesda; and there were in it five porches.
3 Imomo vanhu vazhinji vakaremara vaisivatamo, mapofu, zvirema navakafa mitezo.
And in them were laid a great multitude of the sick, and the blind, and the lame, and the withered, waiting for the moving of the waters.
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, from time to time, descended into the baptistery, and moved the waters; and he who first went in, after the moving of the waters, was cured of whatever disease he had.
5 Mumwe murume akanga arimo akanga arwara kwamakore makumi matatu namasere.
And a certain man was there, who had been diseased thirty and eight years.
6 Jesu akati amuona avete imomo, uye aiziva kuti akanga aita mararamiro iwayo kwenguva refu, akamubvunza akati, “Unoda kuporeswa here?”
Jesus saw him lying, and knew that his disease had been a long time upon him, and said to him: Desirest thou to be healed?
7 Murwere akati, “Ishe, handina munhu anondibatsira kuti ndipinde mudziva mvura painenge yabvongodzwa. Ndichiri kuedza kupinda, mumwe anonditangira.”
And the sick man answered and said: Yes, my lord; but I have no one who, when the water is moved, will put me into the baptistery; but while I am coming, another descendeth before me.
8 Ipapo Jesu akati kwaari, “Simuka! Tora rukukwe rwako ufambe.”
Jesus said to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Pakarepo murume uyu akaporeswa; akatora rukukwe rwake akafamba. Zuva rakaitika izvi raiva reSabata.
And immediately the man was healed; and he arose, took up his bed, and walked; and it was the sabbath day.
10 Naizvozvo vaJudha vakati kumurume uya akanga aporeswa, “Nhasi iSabata; murayiro unokurambidza kuti utakure rukukwe rwako.”
And the Jews said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to bear thy bed.
11 Asi iye akapindura akati, “Murume andiporesa ati kwandiri, ‘Takura rukukwe rwako ufambe.’”
But he answered, and said to them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.
12 Saka vakamubvunza vakati, “Ndianiko murume uyu akutaurira kuti urutakure ufambe?”
And they asked him: Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
13 Murume uya akanga aporeswa akanga asingazivi kuti ainge ari ani, nokuti Jesu akanga apinda mukati meungano yakanga iripo.
But the man that was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus had slid away, in the great multitude that was in the place.
14 Shure kwaizvozvo, Jesu akamuwana ari mutemberi uye akati kwaari, “Tarira, wapora. Usatadzazve kuti urege kuwirwa nechimwe chinhu chakaipisisa.”
After a time, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Lo, thou art healed; sin not again, lest something worse come upon thee than before.
15 Murume akabva akaenda akandoudza vaJudha kuti ndiJesu akanga amuporesa.
And the man went and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 Saka nokuda kwokuti Jesu akanga achiita zvinhu izvi nomusi weSabata, vaJudha vakamutambudza.
And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him; because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 Jesu akati kwavari, “Baba vangu vanoramba vari pabasa ravo kusvikira nhasi chaiye, uye neniwo, ndiri kushanda.”
But Jesus said to them: My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, vaJudha vakaedza zvakanyanya kwazvo kuti vamuuraye; nokuti akanga asingaputsi Sabata chete, asi akanga achitiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
And for this, the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the sabbath, but because he had said of God, that he was his Father, and had equalled himself 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.
And Jesus answered, and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you: The Son can do nothing, of his own pleasure, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things the Father doeth, these in like manner doeth the Son.
20 Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana uye vanomuratidza zvose zvavanoita ivo. Hongu, kuti imi mushamiswe, vachamuratidza kunyange zvinhu zvikuru kwazvo kupfuura izvi.
For the Father loveth his Son, and showeth him every thing he doeth: and greater works than these, will he show him, that ye may wonder.
21 Nokuti sezvo Baba vachimutsa vakafa uye vachivapa upenyu, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anopa upenyu kuno uyo waanofarira kuti ape.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and vivifieth them; so also the Son vivifieth whom he pleaseth.
22 Pamusoro paizvozvo, Baba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwose,
For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given all judgment to the Son:
23 kuti vose vakudze Mwanakomana sokukudza kwavanoita Baba. Uyo asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
that every man may honor the Son, as he honoreth the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father that 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)
Verily, verily, I say to you, That he who heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath life eternal, and will not come into condemnation, but hath passed 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.
Verily, verily, I say to you, That the hour cometh, and even now come, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear, will live.
26 Nokuti sezvo Baba vano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana kuti ave noupenyu maari.
For, as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son also, to have life in himself:
27 Uye vakamupa simba rokuti atonge nokuti ndiye Mwanakomana woMunhu.
and hath moreover given him authority to execute judgment. But that he is the Son of man,
28 “Musashamiswa pane izvi, kuti nguva inouya yokuti vose vari mumakuva avo vachanzwa inzwi rake
wonder not at this; for the hour cometh when all that 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 will come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to 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 do nothing of my own pleasure; but as I hear, so I judge. And my judgment is just; for I seek not my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me.
31 “Kana ndichizvipupurira, uchapupu hwangu hahuna maturo.
If I should bear testimony respecting myself, my testimony would not be valid.
32 Pano mumwe anondipupurira, uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwake pamusoro pangu ndohwechokwadi.
There is another that beareth testimony concerning me; and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.
33 “Makatuma nhume kuna Johani naiye akapupurira chokwadi.
Ye sent unto John; and he bore testimony to the truth.
34 Hazvirevi kuti ndinogamuchira kupupura kwavanhu; asi ndareva izvi kuti muponeswe.
And I have not received testimony from men: but these things I say, that ye may live.
35 Johani akanga ari mwenje waipfuta uye uchivhenekera, uye imi makasarudza kufara kwenguva duku muchiedza chake.
He was a burning and shining lamp; and ye were willing for a time, to glory 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 a testimony, which is greater than that of John; for the works which my Father hath given me to accomplish, these works which I do, testify of me that the Father hath 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, he testifieth of me. Ye have not at any time heard his voice, nor have ye seen his visage.
38 uye shoko ravo harigari mukati menyu, nokuti hamutendi iye waakatuma.
And his word abideth not in you, because ye believe not in him whom he hath sent.
39 Munoshingaira kunzvera magwaro nokuti munofunga kuti maari mune upenyu husingaperi. Magwaro iwaya anopupura pamusoro pangu, (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them, ye think, there is life eternal for you; and they testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 asi imi munoramba kuuya kwandiri kuti muve noupenyu.
And ye are unwilling to come to me, that life eternal may be yours.
41 “Handigamuchiri kurumbidzwa kunobva kuvanhu,
I do not receive glory from men.
42 asi ndinokuzivai. Ndinoziva kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mumwoyo yenyu.
But I know you, that the love of God is not in you.
43 Ndakauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamundigamuchiri; asi kana mumwewo zvake akauya muzita rake, muchamugamuchira.
I came in the name of my Father, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 Mungatenda seiko kana muchikudzana pachenyu asi musingashingairiri kuwana kurumbidzwa kunobva kuna Mwari oga?
How can ye believe, who receive glory from one another, and seek not the glory which cometh from God only?
45 “Asi musafunga kuti ndichakupomerai mhosva pamberi paBaba. Mupomeri wenyu ndiMozisi, wamunoisa tariro yenyu maari.
Do ye suppose, that I shall accuse you before the Father? There is one that will accuse you, that Moses, on whom ye rely.
46 Dai maitenda Mozisi, mungadai maitendawo ini, nokuti akanyora nezvangu.
For, if ye believed Moses, ye would also believe me; for Moses wrote concerning me.
47 Asi sezvo musingatendi zvaakanyora, muchatenda seiko zvandinoreva?”
But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
