Jon 5
1 So kochingbv, Jisu dormo pumja lvgabv Jerusalem bv vngtoku.
After this, there was a Jewish festival so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
2 Jerusalem gv svlar agi nvchilo svpar pargo dooto taabio angu goka dooto; Hebru gaam bv um Betjata vla minto.
Now near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethzatha in Hebrew, with five porches beside it.
3 Lvvmanv nyipam go taabio lo karpv nyato—nyikchingnv, lvpiknv, okv digwngnv. Bunu isi gv binam a kayala dooto,
Crowds of sick people were lying in these porches—those who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
4 ogulvgavbolo nyido gindung ngv idw dwkibv ila isi a bidubv mvto. Vbv isi v birap rinyi yvvdw hoka poklwk chodunv hv ogugo lvvma go gvpvdw poya dukunv.
5 Hoka nyi ako anying chaam gola nyingpinw go lvvmala doonvgo dooto.
One man who was there had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus looked at him, knowing he had been lying there for long time, and asked him,
6 Jisu nyi anga hoka doodubv kaatoku, okv hv chintoku nyi angv vkvjegu kaibv lvvmala doopv nvgo vla; vkvlvgabv hv ninyia tvvkato, “No chvrv kunvpv mvngdure?”
“Do you want to be healed?”
7 Lvvmanv nyi angv mirwksito, “Tamsarnv, vdwlo svpar bolokv isi v birinyi ngam bolo dvlwk jinv nyi go doyama; vdwlo ngo gilwk dubv ritv rinyi, nyigonv gilwk choyado.”
“Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don't have anyone to help me get into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get there, someone always gets in before me.”
8 Jisu ninyia minto, “Gudung tokuka, noogv doopikarpi nvnv nga naarap tokuka, okv vngkar tokuka.”
“Stand up, pick up your mat, and start walking!” Jesus told him.
9 Vjakgobv nyi angv alvtoku; hv ninyigv karpi nvnv nga naarap toku okv vngkar raptoku. Vbvriri aluv Jius Doonualu bv ritoku,
Immediately the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking. Now the day that this happened was the Sabbath.
10 Vkvlvgabv Jius nyi rigvnv vdwv poyakunv nyi anga mintoku, “Silu Jius Doonualuv, okv noogv karpiu nvnv nga baknam si ngonugv Pvbv nga rinying do.”
So the Jews said to the man who'd been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It's against the law to carry a mat!”
11 Hv mirwkto, “Ngam mvpunv nyi angv ngam karpiu nvnv nga naarapla vngto kuka vla minto.”
“The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and start walking,” he replied.
12 Bunu ninyia tvvkato, “Nam sum ritokv vla minv nyi angv yvvla?”
“Who's this person who told you to carry your mat and walk?” they asked.
13 Vbvritola mvpunam nyi angv Jisu yvvdw um chimato, hoka nyi nyipam go dooto, okv Jisu nyipam lokv vnglintoku.
However, the man who'd been healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the surrounding crowd.
14 Ayungjvma nga, Jisu nyi anga Pwknvyarnvnaam lo kaapa toku okv minto, “Tvvtoka, no alvrungpvku; vkvlvgabv rimur kumabvka vmalo alvmanv ngv nam rijila.”
Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and told him, “Look, now you've been healed. So stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
15 Vbvrikunamv nyi angv vngtoku okv Jius nyi rigvnv vdwa minpa toku ninyia mvpunv nyi angv Jisu kv vla.
The man went and told the Jews it was Jesus who had healed him.
16 Vkvlvgabv bunu Jisunyi alvmabv rirap toku, ogulvgavbolo bunugv Jius Doonualu lo hv nyi anga mvpu jinam lvgabv.
So the Jews started to harass Jesus because he was doing things on the Sabbath.
17 Jisu bunua mirwkto, “Ngoogv Abu alu lokia nyingdunv, okv ngooka nyingrung jinv.”
But Jesus told them, “My Father is still working, and so am I.”
18 So minam si Jius nyi vdwa kaiyayabv ninyia mvkidubv mvngmuto; Jius doonualu gv Pvbv nga mvyakmvchak mvngma, vbvritola hv minto Pwknvyarnvnyi atugv Abu vkv okv svbv hv atuv Pwknvyarnvnyi karingching dubv minsuto.
This was why the Jews tried even harder to kill him, for not only did he break the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Vkvlvgabv Jisu bunua mirwksito, “Ngo nonua jvjv nga minjidu: Kuunyilo ngv hv atuv oguguka rinyuma; hv ninyigv Abu gv rinam a kaagvrila rimwngdunv. Abu ogugo ridudw, Kuunyilo ngvka ridu.
Jesus explained to them, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does the Son does as well.
20 Abu Kuunyilo nga pakdu okv ninyia ninyigv rinam mvnwngnga kaatamdu. Hv ninyia sum kaiyabv ridubv, okv nonu mvnwngngv mvngngak reku.
For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.
21 Abu gv nyi sinv nga turkur moduku okv singnam a bunua jidu, vkv apiabv Kuunyilo ngvka ninyigv mvngkubv bunua singnam a jidu.
For just as the Father gives life to those he resurrects from the dead, in the same way the Son also gives life to those that he wants.
22 Abu yvvnyika jwngkadaka madu. Hv ninyigv Kuunyilo nga ogumvnwng nga jwngkadaka dubv jito,
The Father judges no one. He has given to the Son all the authority to judge,
23 Abunyi mvnwngngv mvngdvnam aingbv, Kuunyilo ngaaka mvngdv dubv. Yvvdw Kuunyilo nga mvngdv madunv hv ninyia vngmunv Abu nyika mvngdv madunv.”
so that everyone may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
24 “Ngo nonua jvjv nga minjidunv: yvvdw ngoogv gaam ha tvvdunv okv ngam imu nvnyi mvngjwng dunv hv torbwngnama paariku. Hv jwngkadaka lo domare ogulvgavbolo hv sinam loka vngbola turnamlo aapv kunv. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you the truth: those who follow what I say and trust the one who sent me have eternal life. They won't be condemned, but have gone from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Ngo nonua jvjv nga minjidunv: dw ngv aadungduku—dw ngv aaropvku—vdwlo sinv vdwv Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo gv gaam a tvvpare, okv yvvbunudw um tvvpa rinv hv turnamlo aariku.
I tell you the truth: The time is coming—in fact it's here already—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live!
26 Abunyi atuv turnam gv kolv ngv, vbvdvdvbv ninyigv Kuunyilo nga turnam gv kolv gubv mvpvkunv.
Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself.
27 Hv Kuunyilo gvbv alvpoma nga jwngkadaka nvnv ngaaka jipv, ogulvgavrinyi hv Nyia Kuunyilo ngv.
The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.
28 Nonu sum lamrwpagv mabvka, sinv mvnwngngv ninyigv gaam a tvvpadwv aariku
Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice
29 okv bunugv nyibung vdwlokv linreku: yvvbunudw alvbv rikunv vdwv gudungla okv turreku, okv yvvbunudw alvmanv nga rikunv vdwv gudungre okv darra koore.”
and will rise again: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 “Ngo atuv oguguka rinyuma, Pwknvyarnv gv minam mvngchik a ngo makardu, vkvlvgabv ngoogv makarnamv jvjvdu, ogulvgavbolo ngo atuv alvnam lvgabv ritvma, vbvritola ngam vngmunv mvngchik gv mvnggiabv rijire.”
I can do nothing by myself. I judge based on what I'm told, and my decision is right, for I'm not doing my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
31 “Ngo ngo atubogv lvkwngbv minjidunv bolo, ogugo mindudw hv torwk sunam jvjv gubv rilin jimare.
If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;
32 Vbvritola ngoogv lvkwng nga minji nvgo akin go doodu okv ngo chindu hv ogugo ngo lvkwngbv minam dvdv ngv jvjvngv.
but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.
33 Jon ho angv yvv gvlo nonu nonugv gindungpingko nga vngmu pvdw, okv hv jvjvgv lvkwng nga japjito.
You asked John about me, and he told the truth,
34 So si vbvma, ngo nyi mirianv ako doodu vla, ngo sum mimwngdunv nonua ringnam vdwa paamu dubv.
but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.
35 Jon mvru aingbv rito, guto okv ungkato, okv nonu ninyigv lounglo dw achukgo himpu karnvpv vla mvngdungto.
John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.
36 Vbvritola ngo atubogv lokv minse risego doodu so si Jon gv minam vdwaka kaiyanv go: ngo ogugo ridudw, ho hv, ngo Abu gv ngam ridubv jinammv so vdw si ngogvbv miriadu okv Abu ngam vngmupvnv vla kaatamdu.
But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,
37 Okv Abu, yvvdw ngam vngmunv, ngoogv lvkwng ngaaka minjidu. Nonu ninyigv gaam ha vdwloka tvvkwma vmalo ninyigv nyukmu aka kaakwma,
and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,
38 okv nonu ninyigv doin a nonugv haapok lo vvpvma, okv nonu nw gv vngmunam angaka mvngjwngma.
and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.
39 Nonu Darwknv Kitap vdwa puri rido, ogulvgavbolo nonu mvngdo bunu gvlo turbwng nama paare vla. Okv si Darwknv Kitaplo ngoogv lvkwngbv mindu! (aiōnios g166)
You search the Scriptures because you think that through them you'll gain eternal life. But the evidence they give is in support of me! (aiōnios g166)
40 Vbvrijvka nonuno turnam paanam lvgabv ngoogvlo aanvpv vla mvngma.”
And yet you don't want to come to me so that you might live.
41 “Ngo nyia vdwgv hartvnama makar madunv.
I'm not looking for human approval
42 Vbvritola ngo chindu nonu oguaingnv nyi gudw, okv ngo chindu nonugv haapok lo Pwknvyarnv gv lvgabv aya namgo dooma.
—I know you, and that you don't have God's love in you.
43 Ngo Abu gv jwkrw ha lvkobv aagv pvnv, vbvritola nonuno nga torwk suma; vdwlo, vbvrijvka, kvvbi akonv ninyigv atugv jwkrw ha lvkobv aagv nama, nonu um torwk sure.
For I've come to represent my Father, and you won't accept me; but if someone comes representing themselves, then you accept them!
44 Nonu akonv akonvnga hartv minsu nama mvngbiu do, vbvritola nonu Pwknvyarnv akin mvngchik lokv hartvnama paanvpv vla rikwma; vbvrikunamv, oguaingbv nonu nga mvngjwng nyudubv?
How can you trust in me when you look for praise from one another and yet you don't look for praise from the one true God?
45 Vbvrijvka, mvngma bvka, Pwknvyarnv gvlo ngo nonua gungnying lwkji bongv vla. Moses nonugv mvnggingla dvmin kunam, hv nonua gungnying lwkji bongv.
But don't think I will be making accusations about you to the Father. It's Moses who is accusing you, the one in whom you place such confidence.
46 Nonuno Mosesnyi jvjvbv mvngjwng doonv guilo, nonu ngaaka mvngjwng doore, ogulvgavbolo hv ngoogv lvkwngbv lvkpvto.
For if you really trusted Moses you would trust in me, because he wrote about me.
47 Vbvritola hv ogugo lvkpvdw um nonuno mvngjwng manv ngv, oguaingbv ngoogv minam a nonu mvngjwng nyudubv?”
But since you don't trust what he said, why would you trust what I say?”
