1 Hili eni, naʻe ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai Siu: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema.
After these things, was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem.
2 Pea ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema, [ʻo ofi ] ki he [matapā sipi], ʻae ano vai, ʻoku ui ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko Peteseta, naʻe nima hono fale hala.
Now there is in Jerusalem, at the Sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, —having, five porches.
3 Pea naʻe tatoka ai ʻae kakai mahaki tokolahi, ko e kui, mo e pipiki, mo e mamatea, ʻi he tatali ki he ngaueue ʻoe vai.
In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, —blind, lame, withered.
4 He naʻe ʻalu hifo ha ʻāngelo ki he ano ʻi ha ʻaho, ʻo fakangaueue ʻae vai: pea ko ia ʻe fuofua tuʻu ki he vai, hili hono fakangaueue, naʻe fakamoʻui ia mei hono mahaki kotoa pē.
5 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe moʻua ʻi he mahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma valu.
And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.
6 Ka kuo mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻene tokoto, ʻo ne ʻilo kuo fuoloa ʻene moʻua, naʻe fehuʻi ia ki ai, “Ko ho loto ke ke moʻui?”
Jesus, seeing, this one, lying, and taking note that now, a long time, had he continued, saith unto him—Desirest thou to be made, well?
7 Pea pehē ʻe he mahaki kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata, ʻoka fakangaueue ʻae vai, ke ne hiki au ki he ano: kae lolotonga ʻeku ʻalu, ʻoku muʻomuʻa hifo ʻiate au ha taha kehe.”
The sick man answered him—Sir! I have, no man, that, as soon as the water hath been troubled, might thrust me into the pool; but, while, I, am coming, another, before me, goeth down.
8 Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu.”
Jesus saith unto him—Rise! take up thy couch, and be walking.
9 Pea fakafokifā pe kuo moʻui ʻae tangata, ʻo ne toʻo hono mohenga, pea ʻalu pea ko e ʻaho ko ia ko e Sāpate.
And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began to walk. Now it was Sabbath, on that day.
10 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia kuo fakamoʻui, “Ko e ʻaho Sāpate eni: ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke ke fua ho mohenga.”
The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured—It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: —
11 Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui au, ko ia pe naʻe pehē kiate au, ‘Toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu.’”
who, however, answered them—He that made me well, he, unto me, said—Take up thy couch, and be walking.
12 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi ai kiate ia, “Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia naʻe pehē kiate koe, “Toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu?”
They questioned him—Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy couch], and be walking?
13 Pea ko ia kuo fakamoʻui naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai ia: he naʻe mahuʻi mei ai ʻa Sisu, he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi.
But, the healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being in the place.
14 Hili ia, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fakamoʻui koe: ʻoua naʻa ke toe fai angahala, telia naʻa tō kiate koe ha kovi lahi hake.”
After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him—See! thou hast become, well: —No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.
15 Pea ʻalu ʻae tangata, ʻo fakahā ki he kakai Siu ko Sisu ia, naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia.
The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well.
16 Pea ko ia naʻe fakatangaʻi ai ʻa Sisu ʻe he kakai Siu, ʻonau fie tāmateʻi ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.
17 Ka naʻe talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku kei ngāue ni ʻa ʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku ou ngāue foki.”
But, he, answered them—My Father, until even now, is working; and, I, am working.
18 Ko ia naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae fie tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kakai Siu, he naʻe ʻikai ke ngata ʻi he maumauʻi ʻae Sāpate, ka ko ʻene pehē foki, ko e ʻOtua ko ʻene Tamai, ʻo ne fakatatau ai ia ki he ʻOtua.
On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, —because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling God, his own Father, making, himself, equal, with, God.
19 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he ʻAlo ha meʻa ʻe ia pē, ka ko ia ʻoku ne mamata ʻoku fai ʻe he Tamai: he ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai, ʻoku fai ia ʻe he ʻAlo foki.
Jesus, therefore, answered, and went on to say unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: The Son cannot be doing, of himself, a single thing, —save anything he may see, the Father, doing; for, whatsoever, he, may be doing, these things, the Son also, in like manner, doeth.
20 He ʻoku ʻofa ʻae Tamai ki he ʻAlo, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai: pea te ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻi he meʻa ni, ke mou ofo ai.
For, the Father, dearly loveth the Son, and, all things, pointeth out to him, which, himself, is doing; and, greater works than these, will he point out to him, that, ye, may marvel.
21 He ʻoku hangē ʻoku fokotuʻu mo fakaake ʻe he Tamai ʻae mate; ʻoku pehē ʻae fakaake ʻe he ʻAlo ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku loto ia ki ai.
For, just as the Father waketh up the dead, and quickeneth them, in like manner, the Son also, whom he pleaseth, doth quicken.
22 He ʻoku ʻikai fakamaau ha tokotaha ʻe he Tamai, ka kuo ne tuku ʻae fakamaau kotoa pē ki he ʻAlo:
For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone, —but, all the judging, hath given unto the Son:
23 Koeʻuhi ke fakaʻapaʻapa kotoa pē ki he ʻAlo, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fakaʻapaʻapa ki he Tamai. Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻAlo, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki he Tamai naʻa ne fekau ia.
That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.
24 “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fanongo ki heʻeku lea, ʻo tui kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui taʻengata, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia; ka kuo hao mei he mate ki he moʻui. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth, my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath life age-abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, pea ko eni ia, ʻe fanongo ai ʻae mate ki he leʻo ʻoe ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ko kinautolu ʻe fanongo te nau moʻui.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, shall live.
26 He ʻoku hangē ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai ʻae moʻui ʻiate ia pē; pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻene tuku ki he ʻAlo, ke ne maʻu ʻae moʻui ʻiate ia pe;
For, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself;
27 Pea kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ke ʻaʻana ʻae fai ʻoe fakamaau foki, koeʻuhi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe tangata.
And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment, —because, Son of Man, is he!
28 ‌ʻOua te mou ofo ai: he ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe fanongo ai ki hono leʻo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga,
Do not be marvelling at this: because there come an hour, in which, all they in the tombs, shall hearken unto his voice,
29 Pea te nau ʻalu atu; ko kinautolu naʻe fai lelei, ki he toetuʻu ʻoe moʻui; mo kinautolu naʻe fai kovi, ki he toetuʻu ʻoe fakamalaʻia.
and shall come forth, —they who, the good things, have done, unto a resurrection, of life; but, they who the corrupt things, have practised, unto a resurrection, of judgment.
30 “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa fai ʻeau pe ha meʻa: ʻoku hangē ko ʻeku fanongo, ʻa ʻeku fakamaau: pea ʻoku totonu ʻeku fakamaau; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te u fai ki hoku loto ʻoʻoku, ka ko e finangalo ʻoe Tamai naʻa ne fekau au.
I, cannot be doing, of myself, a single thing, —Just as I hear, I judge; and, my judging, is, just, —because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31 “Kapau te u fakamoʻoni au ʻeau pē, tā ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ʻeku fakamoʻoni.
If, I, bear witness, concerning myself, my witness, is not, true.
32 ‌ʻOku ai ha tokotaha kehe ʻoku ne fakamoʻoniʻi au; pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ko ʻene fakamoʻoni kiate au ʻoku moʻoni.
Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, —and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me.
33 Naʻa mou fekau kia Sione, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ki he moʻoni.
Ye, have sent forth unto John, —and he hath borne witness to the truth: —
34 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga kiate au ʻae fakamoʻoni mei he tangata: ka ʻoku ou lea ʻaki eni koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui.
I, however, not from man, my witness, receive; but, these things, I say, that, ye, may be saved: —
35 Ko e maama vela mo ulo ia: pea naʻa mou loto ʻo fuoloa siʻi pē ke fiefia ʻi hono maama.
He, was the burning and shining lamp, and, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, in his light.
36 Ka ʻoku ou maʻu ʻae fakamoʻoni lahi ʻia Sione: he ko e ngaahi ngāue kuo tuku kiate au ʻe he Tamai ke u fai, ko e ngāue ko ia ʻoku ou fai, ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au, kuo fekau au ʻe he Tamai.
But, I, have, as my witness, something greater than John’s; for, the works which the Father hath given me, that I should complete them, —the works themselves which I am doing, bear witness concerning me, that, the Father, hath sent me.
37 Pea ko e Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au, kuo ne fakamoʻoni kiate au. Naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ʻi ha kuonga ki hono leʻo, pe mamata ki hono anga.
And so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen;
38 Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻene folofola: he ko ia naʻa ne fekau, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ki ai.
And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding—because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in him, ye, believe not.
39 ʻOku mou kumi lahi ʻi he ngaahi [tohitapu ]koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻamanaki ke maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au. (aiōnios g166)
Ye search the Scriptures, because, ye, think, by them, to have, life age-abiding; and, those [Scriptures], are they which bear witness concerning me: (aiōnios g166)
40 Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou loto ke haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui.
And yet ye choose not to come unto me, that, life, ye may have.
41 “ʻOku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae fakamālō mei he tangata.
Glory from men, am I not receiving; —
42 Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
But I have taken knowledge of you, that, the love of God, ye have not, in yourselves: —
43 Kuo u haʻu au ʻi he huafa ʻo ʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu au: kapau ʻe haʻu ha taha ʻi hono hingoa ʻoʻona, te mou maʻu ia.
I, have come, in the name of my Father, —and ye are not receiving me: If, another, shall come in his own name, him, ye will receive!
44 ‌ʻE faʻa tui fēfē ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku mou fetaliʻaki ʻae fefakamālōʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou kumi ki he fakamālō mei he ʻOtua pē?
How can, ye, believe, —Glory from one another, receiving; and, the glory which is from the only God, are not seeking?
45 ‌ʻOua naʻa mahalo te u talatalaaki ʻakimoutolu ki he Tamai: ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻoku ne talatalaaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻa Mōsese, ʻoku mou falala ki ai.
Do not think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who accuseth you, even, Moses, —on whom, ye, have set your hope.
46 He ka ne tui ʻakimoutolu kia Mōsese, pehē, kuo mou tui kiate au: he naʻe tohi ʻe ia kiate au.
For, if ye had been believing, in Moses, ye would, in that case, have been believing, in me: for, concerning me, he wrote.
47 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ki heʻene ngaahi tohi, ʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻomou tui ki heʻeku ngaahi lea?”
But, if, in his writings, ye are not believing, how, in my sayings, will ye believe?
