Yohane 5
1 Panyuma pakendi kwalikuba kusekelela kwa Bayuda, ku Yelusalemu neye Yesu walayako
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Lino kopeloko pepi necishinga cambelele, kwalikuba kalishiba ka menshi kalikukwiweti Betsaida mumbali mwalishiba ili mwalikuba mwebakwa tumanda tubili.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Mu tumandomo mwalikona bantu bangi balwashi, balema ne bashipilwa kayi ne bakokonyana mibili
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 (Pakwinga mungelo walikufandaula menshi, neco mulwashi walikwingila bwangu mumenshi walikushilikwa.)
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 Nomba pa bantu balwashi abo palikuba umbi walakolwa kwa byaka 38.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Yesu mpwalamubona nkali wona, waleshiba kwambeti walakolwa kwa cindi citali. Lino walamwipusheti, “Sena ulayandanga kushilikwa?”
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 Mulwashi uyo walambeti, “Nkambo ndiyawa muntu welakuntwala mumenshi na alafundaulwa, ndambeti njingile nkutekucana naumbi lampitili kendi.”
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 Yesu walamwambileti, “Punduka, manta mpasa yakobe, yamba kwenda.”
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Popelapo muntu uyo walashilikwa, walamanta mpasa yakendi nekuyamba kwenda. Busuba ubo bwalikuba bwa Sabata.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Lino Bayuda balambila uyu walashilikwa, “Lelo nipa Sabata, milawo yetu nkayasuminisha kunyamuna mpasa yakobe.”
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
11 Nomba neye walambeti, “Lanshiliki elangambilyeti, ‘Nyamuna mpasa yakobe nekwenda.’”
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Nabo balamwipusheti, “Niyani uyo lakwambily eti nyamuna mpasa yakobe wende?”
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Nomba uyu muntu walashilikwa nkalamwinshiba walamushilikwa, pakwinga Yesu walikuba lengili mukati mwa bantu bangi abo balikuba popelapo.
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
14 Panyuma pakendi Yesu walamucana mu Nga'nda ya Lesa, usa ngwalashilika, walamwambileti, “Bona, lino ulashilikwa, kotakensa kayi byaipa, kwambeti nkotakakolwa kayi bulwashi nabumbi bwaipa.”
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 Muntu usa walaya kwambila Bayuda kwambeti Yesu elamushiliki.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 Lino batangunishi ba Bayuda balatatika kumushupa Yesu pacebo cakushilika muntu pa Sabata.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Bata balasebensenga cindi conse mpaka lelo lino, nenjame ndelela kusebensa.”
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Makani aya alapesheti bayuda bapitilishe kupingila kushina Yesu. Balikwambeti Yesu lapwayanga mulawo wa Sabata, kayi pakwambeti ni mwana wa Lesa, walyelanishinga ne Lesa.
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 Lino Yesu walambeti, “Ndamwambilinga cancine ncine kwambeti paliya ncela kwinsa Mwana palwakendi mwine. Nsombi ukute kwinsa ncalabononga baishi nkabensa. Bilenshinga baishi neye Mwana mbyakute kwinsa.
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 Pakwinga baishi basuni Mwana, neco bakute kumulesha byonse nabo mbyobalenshinga. Baishi nibamuleshe mulimo wapita ibi kwambeti mubinshibe.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 Mbuli Bata ncobakute kupundusha bafwa, nekubapa buyumi, copeleco Mwana lapanga buyumi kuli abo mbasuni.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 Baishi nkabakute kombolosha muntu sobwe. Nsombi balapa ngofu Mwana kwambeti abe weshikombolosha byonse.
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 Bata bakute kuyandeti bantu bonse balemekenga Mwana, mbuli ncobakute kulemeka Baishi. Muntu labulunga kulemeka Mwana, nkakute kulemeka Baishi balamutuma.
That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 “Ndamwambilishingeti muntu uliyense lanyumfu maswi akame nekushoma walantuma, nakabe ne buyumi butapu. Uyo nendi nteshi akomboloshewe, nsombi lapulu kendi mu lufu, nekuya mubuyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Kayi ndamwambilingeti cindi nicikashike, kayi cilashiki kendi, apo bantu bafwa mposhi bakanyumfwe maswi a Mwana wa Lesa, kayi abo beshibakanyumfwe ne bakashome nibakabe ne buyumi.
Verily, verily, I say unto 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 Mbuli baishi ncebalicitente ca buyumi nendi Mwana walaba citente cabuyumi.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 Neco walamupa mwana ngofu shakombolosha bantu, pakwinga ni Mwana Muntu.
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Mutakankamana, pakwinga cindi nicikashike bantu bonse bali mumanda nibakanyumfwe maswi akendi nekupunduka.
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 Bantu balensa byaina nibakapunduke kwambeti babe ne buyumi, nsombi balensa byaipa, nibakapunduke kwambeti bomboloshewe.”
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 “Ame nkandela kwinsa kantu pandenka. Nkute kombolosha mbuli ncobakute kung'ambila Bata. Kayi nkute kombolosha mubululami, pakwinga nkankute kwinsa mbyonsuni, nsombi mbyobasuni Bata balantuma.
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31 “Na ndalinshili bukamboni, bukamboni bwakame nkabwakwana.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Nsombi kuli naumbi ukute kunjinshila bukamboni, kayi bukamboni mbwakute kunjinshila nibwancine ncine.
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33 Amwe mwalatuma ntumi kuli Yohane mubatishi, nendi walensa bukamboni bwakubinga.
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 Nteko kwambeti ame nsuni bukamboni bwa muntu, nsombi ndambanga ibi kwambeti amwe mupuluke.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 Yohane mubatishi walikubeti lampi yalikumunika, amwe mwalakondwa ne mumuni kwakacindi kang'ana.
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 Nsombi ame nkute bukamboni bwapita bwa Yohane. Bata balampa incito njondelela kwinsa, kayi incito njondenshinga iyi ilaleshengeti Bata ebalantuma.
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 of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 Kayi Bata abo balantuma, balanjinshila bukamboni. Nomba amwe muliya kunyumfwa maswi abo, nambi kubona cinso cabo.
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 Maswi abo nkakute kwikala muli njamwe, pakwinga nkamukute kumushoma Bata ngobalatuma.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Mukute kubelenga Mabala a Lesa, pakwinga mukute kuyeyeti nimucanemo buyumi butapu. Nomba kayi Mabala opelayo akute kunjinshila bukamboni. (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 Nomba amwe mulakananga kwisa kuli njame kwambeti mube ne buyumi.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 “Nkandalangaulunga kupewa bulemu kubantu sobwe.
I receive not honour from men.
42 Nsombi ndimwinshi kwambeti amwe nkamusuni Lesa mumyoyo yenu.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 Ame ndalesa mulina lya Bata, nomba amwe muliya kuntambula. Nsombi umbi esa mulina lyakendi ne kulyamba mwine uyo engomukute kutambula.
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 Lino nomba nga mushomaconi na musuni owa kulumbaishiwa ne banenu, Nsombi nkamusuni kutambula bulemu mbwela kumupa Lesa?
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
45 Nomba mutayeyeti njame ndeshi nkamwambilenga byaipa kuli Bata. Weshi akamwambilenga nkwali, Mose ngomwalikuba mwashoma.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 Ne mwalashoma Mose cancine ncine ne mwalanshoma ne njame, pakwinga neye walalemba makani alikwamba njame.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 Nomba na nkamulashomonga mbyalalemba, nomba ngamushoma aconi maswi akame?”
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
