Johani 5
1 Shure kwezvinhu izvi kwakava nemutambo weVaJudha; Jesu ndokukwira kuJerusarema.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Zvino paJerusarema pedo nesuwo regwai pane dziva rinonzi Bhetisaidha nechiHebheru, rine maberere mashanu.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Mukati mawo makange murere chaunga chikuru chevarwere, chemapofu, chezvirema, chevakawonyana, vakamirira kubvongodzwa kwemvura.
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 Nokuti mutumwa waiburukira pane imwe nguva mudziva iro, achibvongodza mvura; koti anotanga kupinda shure kwekubvongodzwa kwemvura, waiporeswa, pachirwere chipi zvacho chaainge akabatwa nacho.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was healed of whatever disease he had.
5 Zvino kwaivapo umwe munhu waiva nemakore makumi matatu nemasere ane chifo.
And a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty and 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 now a long time in that case, he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?
7 Murwere akamupindura akati: Ishe, handina munhu anondikanda mudziva, kana mvura ichibvongodzwa; asi kana ini ndichiuya, umwe anoburukira mberi kwangu.
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesu akati kwaari: Simuka, simudza nhovo yako, ufambe.
Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Zvino pakarepo munhu uyu akaporeswa, ndokusimudza nhovo yake akafamba. Zvino raiva sabata nemusi iwoyo.
And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Naizvozvo VaJudha vakati kune wakaporeswa: Isabata; hazvisi pamutemo kuti utakure nhovo.
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 Akavapindura akati: Uyo wandiporesa, ndiye wati kwandiri: Simudza nhovo yako ufambe.
He answered them, He that healed me, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Saka vakamubvunza vachiti: Ndiani munhu uyo wati kwauri: Simudza nhovo yako ufambe?
Then they asked him, What man is that who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Zvino wakange aporeswa wakange asingazivi kuti ndiani; nokuti Jesu wakange asvova, zvakwaiva nechaunga panzvimbo iyo.
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn himself, a multitude being in that place.
14 Shure kwezvinhu izvi Jesu akamuwana mutembere, akati kwaari: Tarira waporeswa; usatadzazve, zvimwe chimwe chakanyanya kuipa chingaitika kwauri.
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.
15 Munhu akabva, akaudza VaJudha kuti ndiJesu wakamuporesa.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, who had healed him.
16 Zvino nekuda kweizvozvo VaJudha vakashusha Jesu, ndokutsvaka kumuuraya, nokuti wakaita zvinhu izvi nesabata.
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
17 Asi Jesu wakavapindura akati: Baba vangu vanoshanda kusvikira ikozvino, neni ndinoshanda.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 Naizvozvo nekuda kweizvi VaJudha vakanyanya kutsvaka kumuuraya, nokuti wakange asingadariki sabata chete, asi wakatiwo Mwari ndiBaba vake vomene, achizvienzanisa naMwari.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his 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.
Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 Nokuti Baba vanoda Mwanakomana, uye vanomuratidza zvinhu zvese zvavanoita ivo; vachamuratidzawo mabasa makuru anopfuura awa, kuti imwi mushamisike.
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 Nokuti Baba sezvavanomutsa vakafa vachivararamisa, saizvozvo Mwanakomana anoraramisawo vaanoda.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and giveth life to them; even so the Son giveth life to whom he will.
22 Nokuti naBaba havatongi munhu, asi vakapa Mwanakomana kutonga kwese;
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
23 kuti vese vakudze Mwanakomana sezvavanokudza Baba. Asingakudzi Mwanakomana, haakudzi Baba vakamutuma.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath 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)
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Awa rinouya, nazvino ravapo, apo vakafa vachanzwa inzwi reMwanakomana waMwari, uye vanonzwa vachararama.
Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 Nokuti Baba sezvavane upenyu mavari pachavo, saizvozvo vakapa kuMwanakomanawo kuti ave neupenyu maari pachake;
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 uye vakamupa simba rekutongawo, nokuti Mwanakomana wemunhu.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Musashamisika nezvizvi; nokuti awa rinouya, apo vese vari mumakuva vachanzwa inzwi rake,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 zvino vachabuda, avo vakaita zvakanaka, mukumuka kweupenyu; neavo vakaita zvakaipa, mukumuka kwekupiwa mhosva.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
30 Ini handigoni kuita chinhu pachangu; sekunzwa kwangu, ndinotonga; uye kutonga kwangu kwakarurama, nokuti handitsvaki chido changu, asi chido chaBaba vakandituma.
I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.
31 Kana ini ndichipupura nezvangu, uchapupu hwangu hahusi hwechokwadi.
If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.
32 Aripo umwe anopupura nezvangu; uye ndinoziva kuti uchapupu hwaanopupura nezvangu ndehwechokwadi.
There is another that beareth witness concerning me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth concerning me is true.
33 Imwi makatumira kuna Johwani, uye akapupurira chokwadi.
Ye sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34 Asi ini handigamuchiri uchapupu hunobva kumunhu, asi ndinoreva zvinhu izvi kuti imwi muponeswe.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye may be saved.
35 Iye wakange ari mwenje unopfuta neunovhenekera, nemwi makange muchishuva kufara kwazvo kwechinguvana muchiedza chake.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice 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 I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 NaBaba vakandituma, ivo vakapupura nezvangu. Hamuna chero nguva kunzwa inzwi rake, kana kuona chimiro chake.
And the Father himself, who hath sent me, hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 Uye hamuna shoko rake rinogara mamuri, nokuti iye waakatuma, uyu imwi hamuna kumutenda.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Nzverai magwaro, nokuti imwi munofunga kuti mune upenyu husingaperi maari, uye ndiwo anopupura nezvangu. (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Asi hamudi kuuya kwandiri, kuti muve neupenyu.
And ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.
41 Handigamuchiri rukudzo kuvanhu;
I receive not honour from men.
42 asi ndinokuzivai imwi, kuti hamuna rudo rwaMwari mamuri.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 Ini ndauya muzita raBaba vangu, asi hamuna kundigamuchira; kana umwe akauya muzita rake pachake, muchamugamuchira iye.
I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 Munogona kutenda sei imwi munogamuchira rukudzo umwe kune umwe, asi musingatsvaki rukudzo rwunobva kuna Mwari ega?
How can ye believe, who receive honour one from another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
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 that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 Nokuti dai maitenda Mozisi, maitenda ini; nokuti iye wakanyora nezvangu.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote concerning me.
47 Asi kana musingatendi magwaro ake, muchatenda sei mashoko angu?
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
