Johani 5
1 Shure kwezvinhu izvi kwakava nemutambo weVaJudha; Jesu ndokukwira kuJerusarema.
After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Zvino paJerusarema pedo nesuwo regwai pane dziva rinonzi Bhetisaidha nechiHebheru, rine maberere mashanu.
Now in Jerusalem by the sheep area there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beth Hesda," having five porches.
3 Mukati mawo makange murere chaunga chikuru chevarwere, chemapofu, chezvirema, chevakawonyana, vakamirira kubvongodzwa kwemvura.
In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.
4 Nokuti mutumwa waiburukira pane imwe nguva mudziva iro, achibvongodza mvura; koti anotanga kupinda shure kwekubvongodzwa kwemvura, waiporeswa, pachirwere chipi zvacho chaainge akabatwa nacho.
5 Zvino kwaivapo umwe munhu waiva nemakore makumi matatu nemasere ane chifo.
A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6 Jesu wakati amuona arere, achiziva kuti ikozvino wakange ava nenguva refu, akati kwaari: Unoda kuporeswa here?
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"
7 Murwere akamupindura akati: Ishe, handina munhu anondikanda mudziva, kana mvura ichibvongodzwa; asi kana ini ndichiuya, umwe anoburukira mberi kwangu.
The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am on my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."
8 Jesu akati kwaari: Simuka, simudza nhovo yako, ufambe.
Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."
9 Zvino pakarepo munhu uyu akaporeswa, ndokusimudza nhovo yake akafamba. Zvino raiva sabata nemusi iwoyo.
Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
10 Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kune wakaporeswa: Isabata; hazvisi pamutemo kuti utakure nhovo.
So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."
11 Akavapindura akati: Uyo wandiporesa, ndiye wati kwandiri: Simudza nhovo yako ufambe.
But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, and walk.'"
12 Saka vakamubvunza vachiti: Ndiani munhu uyo wati kwauri: Simudza nhovo yako ufambe?
Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you to pick it up and walk?"
13 Zvino wakange aporeswa wakange asingazivi kuti ndiani; nokuti Jesu wakange asvova, zvakwaiva nechaunga panzvimbo iyo.
But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14 Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu akamuwana mutembere, akati kwaari: Tarira waporeswa; usatadzazve, zvimwe chimwe chakanyanya kuipa chingaitika kwauri.
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
15 Munhu akabva, akaudza VaJudha kuti ndiJesu wakamuporesa.
The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Zvino nekuda kweizvozvo VaJudha vakashusha Jesu, ndokutsvaka kumuuraya, nokuti wakaita zvinhu izvi nesabata.
For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Asi Jesu wakavapindura akati: Baba vangu vanoshanda kusvikira ikozvino, neni ndinoshanda.
But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."
18 Naizvozvo nekuda kweizvi VaJudha vakanyanya kutsvaka kumuuraya, nokuti wakange asingadariki sabata chete, asi wakatiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake vomene, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Zvino Jesu akapindura akati kwavari: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Mwanakomana haagoni kuita pachake, kunze kwezvaanoona Baba vachichiita; nokuti chero icho chavanoita, ndizvowo saizvozvo Mwanakomanawo zvaanoita.
Jesus therefore answered them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
20 Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana, uye vanomuratidza zvinhu zvese zvavanoita ivo; vachamuratidzawo mabasa makuru anopfuura awa, kuti imwi mushamisike.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.
21 Nokuti Baba sezvavanomutsa vakafa vachivararamisa, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anoraramisawo vaanoda.
For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22 Nokuti naBaba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwese;
For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23 kuti vese vakudze Mwanakomana sezvavanokudza Baba. Asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
24 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Anonzwa shoko rangu, nekutenda kune wakandituma, ane upenyu husingaperi; uye haasviki mukupiwa mhosva, asi wapfuura kubva murufu akaenda muupenyu. (aiōnios g166)
"Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Awa rinouya, nazvino ravapo, apo vakafa vachanzwa inzwi reMwanakomana waMwari, uye vanonzwa vachararama.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
26 Nokuti Baba sezvavane upenyu mavari pachavo, saizvozvo vakapa kuMwanakomanawo kuti ave neupenyu maari pachake;
For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27 uye vakamupa simba rekutongawo, nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu.
He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
28 Musashamisika nezvizvi; nokuti awa rinouya, apo vese vari mumakuva vachanzwa inzwi rake,
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
29 zvino vachabuda, avo vakaita zvakanaka, mukumuka kweupenyu; neavo vakaita zvakaipa, mukumuka kwekupiwa mhosva.
and will 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 handigoni kuita chinhu pachangu; sekunzwa kwangu, ndinotonga; uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki chido changu, asi chido chaBaba vakandituma.
I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.
31 Kana ini ndichipupura nezvangu, uchapupu hwangu hahusi hwechokwadi.
"If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32 Aripo umwe anopupura nezvangu; uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwaanopupura nezvangu ndehwechokwadi.
It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33 Imwi makatumira kuna Johwani, uye akapupurira chokwadi.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Asi ini handigamuchiri uchapupu hunobva kumunhu, asi ndinoreva zvinhu izvi kuti imwi muponeswe.
But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35 Iye wakange ari mwenje unopfuta neunovhenekera, nemwi makange muchishuva kufara kwazvo kwechinguvana muchiedza chake.
He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36 Asi ini ndine uchapupu ukuru kune hwaJohwani; nokuti mabasa Baba avakandipa kuti ndimapedze, mabasa pachawo ini andinoita, anopupura nezvangu kuti Baba vakandituma.
But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
37 NaBaba vakandituma, ivo vakapupura nezvangu. Hamuna chero nguva kunzwa inzwi rake, kana kuona chimiro chake.
The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38 Uye hamuna shoko rake rinogara mamuri, nokuti iye waakatuma, uyu imwi hamuna kumutenda.
You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.
39 Nzverai magwaro, nokuti imwi munofunga kuti mune upenyu husingaperi maari, uye ndiwo anopupura nezvangu. (aiōnios g166)
You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have everlasting life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Asi hamudi kuuya kwandiri, kuti muve neupenyu.
But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.
41 Handigamuchiri rukudzo kuvanhu;
I do not receive glory from people.
42 asi ndinokuzivai imwi, kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mamuri.
But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.
43 Ini ndauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamuna kundigamuchira; kana umwe akauya muzita rake pachake, muchamugamuchira iye.
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Munogona kutenda sei imwi munogamuchira rukudzo umwe kune umwe, asi musingatsvaki rukudzo rwunobva kuna Mwari ega?
How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Musafunga kuti ini ndichakupai mhosva kuna Baba; ariko anokupai mhosva, ndiye Mozisi wamunovimba naye imwi.
"Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
46 Nokuti dai maitenda Mozisi, maitenda ini; nokuti iye wakanyora nezvangu.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Asi kana musingatendi magwaro ake, muchatenda sei mashoko angu?
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
