Yohane 5
1 Yei akyi no, Yudafoɔ afahyɛ bi enti, Yesu sane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
After these things was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up into Jerusalem.
2 Na ɔtadeɛ bi wɔ kuro no mu a wɔfrɛ no Betesda a na ɛbɛn kuro no ano ɛpono kɛseɛ bi a wɔfrɛ no Nnwan Ɛpono no. Na wɔabɔ apata ahodoɔ enum atwa ho ahyia.
And there is a pool at the sheep-market, called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.
3 Saa apata yi ase na na ayarefoɔ pii sɛ, anifirafoɔ, mpakye ne mmubuafoɔ wɔ retwɛn sɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ firi ɔsoro bɛba abɛhono nsuo no.
In them a multitude of the sick, blind, lame, withered, were lying down.
4 Deɛ ɛteɛ ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no hono nsuo no wie a, ɔyarefoɔ a ɔbɛdi ɛkan atɔ nsuo no mu no nya ayaresa.
5 Na ɔbarima bi ayare ada ɔtadeɛ no ho mfeɛ aduasa nwɔtwe.
And a certain man was there, being thirty-eight years in his infirmity;
6 Yesu hunuu sɛ wayare ada hɔ akyɛre no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wopɛ sɛ wo ho yɛ wo den anaa?”
Jesus seeing him lying down, and knowing that he already has much time, says to him; Do you wish to be whole?
7 Ɔyarefoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Me wura, sɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no bɛhono nsuo no a, mennya obi a ɔbɛma me so ato mu. Ɛberɛ biara a mɛbɔ me ho mmɔden sɛ merekɔ nsuo no mu no, obi di me ɛkan.”
The sick man responded to Him, Lord, I have no man that may put me in the pool, when the water may be troubled: and while I come, another goes down before me.
8 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɔre! Bobɔ wo kɛtɛ na kɔ efie.”
And Jesus says to him, Arise, take thy bed, and walk about.
9 Amonom hɔ ara, ɔbarima no ho yɛɛ no den; ɔbobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, hyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ. Na saa da no yɛ homeda.
And the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and continued to walk about. And it was the Sabbath on that day.
10 Yudafoɔ mpanin hunuu ɔbarima no sɛ ɔso ne kɛtɛ no, wɔn bo fuu yie. Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wonnim sɛ ɛnnɛ yɛ homeda na ɛtia mmara sɛ wobɛsoa wo kɛtɛ anaa?”
Then the Jews were saying to the healed man, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 Ɔbarima yi de ahopopoɔ yii ne ho ano sɛ, “Onipa a ɔsaa me yadeɛ no na ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, mensoa me kɛtɛ na menkɔ.”
He responded to them, the one having made me whole, He said to me, Take thy bed, and walk about.
12 Wɔtee saa no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi?”
They asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take thy bed, and walk about?
13 Nso na deɛ ne ho yɛɛ no den no nnim Yesu. Afei, nso na Yesu afiri nnipa no mu kɔ.
And the sick man did not know who He is: for Jesus went out, the crowd being in the place.
14 Akyire yi, Yesu hyiaa ɔbarima yi wɔ asɔredan mu tuu no fo sɛ, “Afei a wo ho ayɛ wo den yi, hwɛ yie na woankɔyɛ bɔne bio amma biribi a ɛsene kane yadeɛ no amma wo so.”
And after these things, Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou hast been made whole: sin no more, lest something worse may come on thee.
15 Ɔbarima yi firii hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Yudafoɔ mpanin no sɛ ɛyɛ Yesu na ɔsaa no yadeɛ no.
And the man departed, and said to the Jews, that Jesus is the one having made him whole.
16 Yudafoɔ mpanin yi hyɛɛ aseɛ tanee Yesu ani, ɛfiri sɛ, wabu wɔn homeda mmara no so.
And on account of this the Jews continued to persecute Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mʼagya yɛ adwuma ɛberɛ biara, enti ɛsɛ sɛ me nso meyɛ adwuma ɛberɛ biara.”
And He responded to them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.
18 Saa asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ yi maa Yudafoɔ mpanin no bo fuiɛ, na wɔyɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ wɔbɛkum no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛnyɛ homeda mmara no nko na wabu so, na bio, ɔfrɛ ne ho sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba de kyerɛ sɛ, ɔne Onyankopɔn yɛ pɛ.
Therefore the Jews the more sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but said that God was His Father, making himself equal to God.
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɔba no ntumi mfiri ne pɛ mu nyɛ biribi, na mmom, ɔyɛ deɛ ɔhunu sɛ nʼAgya yɛ no bi.
Then Jesus responded and said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son is not able to do anything Himself, unless He may see the Father doing it: for whatsoever He may do, the Son likewise also doeth the same.
20 Ɛfiri sɛ, Agya no dɔ Ɔba no na biribiara a Agya no yɛ no, ɔma Ɔba no hunu. Na Ɔba no bɛyɛ nnwuma akɛseɛ a ɛsene saa ɔbarima yi ayaresa yi ama mo ho adwiri mo.
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished.
21 Na sɛdeɛ Agya no nyane awufoɔ no, saa ara nso na Ɔba no nyane awufoɔ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔnyane wɔn no.
For as the Father raiseth up the dead and createth life in them, so the Son also createth life in whom He will.
22 Afei koraa, mʼAgya mmu obiara atɛn. Ɔde saa atemmuo tumi no ahyɛ Ɔba no nsa,
For the Father judgeth no one, for He hath given all judgment to the Son;
23 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a obiara bɛdi Ɔba no ni sɛdeɛ wɔdi Agya no ni no. Obiara a ɔnni Ɔba no ni no, nni Agya a ɔsomaa no no nso ni.
in order that all may honor the Son, as they may honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who sent Him.
24 “Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ: Obiara a ɔtie me nsɛm na ɔgye deɛ ɔsomaa me no di no, wɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. Wɔremmu no atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wafiri owuo mu aba nkwa mu. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I say unto you, that every one hearing my word, and believing on Him that sent me hath eternal life, and doth not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Mereka nokorɛ bio sɛ, ɛberɛ bi reba, na mpo saa ɛberɛ no anya aba a awufoɔ bɛte Onyankopɔn Ba no nne, na wɔn a wɔte ne nne no bɛnya nkwa.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, that the hour cometh and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and having heard will live.
26 Sɛdeɛ Agya no yɛ nkwamafoɔ no, saa ara nso na wama ne Ba no tumi ama wayɛ nkwamafoɔ.
For as the Father hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also in Himself.
27 Wama Ɔba no tumi a ɔde bu atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno ne Onipa Ba no.
And He hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man.
28 “Mommma saa asɛm yi nnyɛ mo nwanwa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ bi reba a awufoɔ a wɔwɔ wɔn damena mu mpo bɛte me nne,
Do not be astonished at this: because the hour cometh, in which all who are in their graves will hear His voice,
29 na wɔasɔresɔre. Wɔn a wɔayɛ papa no bɛnyane atena nkwa mu, na wɔn a wɔayɛ bɔne no nso, wɔabu wɔn fɔ.
and come forth; those having done good, unto the resurrection of life; and those having done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
30 Merentumi mfiri mʼankasa me tumi mu nyɛ biribiara; asɛm a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ me no so na megyina bu atɛn. Ɛno enti, atɛn a mebu no yɛ nokorɛ.
I am not able to do anything of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One having sent me.
31 “Sɛ me ara medi me ho adanseɛ a, mʼadansedie no nni mu.
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true.
32 Na obi wɔ hɔ a ɔdi me ho adanseɛ a menim sɛ nʼadanseɛ a ɔdi fa me ho no yɛ nokorɛ.
There is another who testifieth concerning me; and you know that the testimony which He testifies concerning me is true.
33 “Moasoma nnipa akɔ Yohane nkyɛn na wadi adanseɛ a ɛyɛ nokorɛ.
You sent to John, and he witnessed to the truth:
34 Nnipa adansedie ho nhia me ansa na moahunu onipa ko a meyɛ. Na mmom, meka Yohane adanseɛ a ɔdii no kyerɛ mo sɛ deɛ ɛbɛyɛ na Onyankopɔn bɛgye mo nkwa.
but I do not receive the witness with man: but I speak these things that you may be saved.
35 Yohane nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ yɛ kanea a wɔasɔ na ɛhyerɛn, na ɛmaa mo ani gyeeɛ.
He was a bright and shining light: and you were willing to rejoice for an hour in that light.
36 “Me nnwuma a mʼAgya de ama me sɛ menyɛ no di me ho adanseɛ sene Yohane.
But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works that the Father hath given me that I may perfect them, these works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 Ɛwom sɛ monhunuu Agya no anim da, na montee ne nne nso da, nanso wadi me ho adanseɛ.
And the Father having sent me, He hath testified concerning me: never have you heard His voice, neither have you seen His face:
38 Na nʼasɛm no nso mommfa nsie mo tirim, ɛfiri sɛ, monnnye me a ɔsomaa me no nni.
and you have not His word abiding in you: because you do not believe Him whom He has sent.
39 Mosua Atwerɛsɛm no ɛfiri sɛ, mogye di sɛ ɛno na ɛbɛma mo anya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. Nanso, saa Atwerɛsɛm korɔ no ara di me ho adanseɛ! (aiōnios g166)
Search the Scriptures, because in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 Yei nyinaa akyi no, mommpɛ sɛ moba me nkyɛn na moanya nkwa!
and you do not wish to come unto me, in order that you may have life.
41 “Merenhwehwɛ nnipa anim animuonyam.
I do not receive glory with men;
42 Menim nnipa ko a moyɛ. Menim sɛ monni Onyankopɔn ho dɔ.
but I know you that you have not the love of God in you.
43 Mebaa mʼAgya din mu nanso moannye me. Nanso, sɛ obi ba wɔ ɔno ara ne din mu na ɔbɛyɛ deɛ ɔpɛ a, ɛno deɛ, mogye no.
I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me: if another may come in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Mopɛ sɛ nnipa kamfo mo mmom sene sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛkamfo mo. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moagye me adi?
How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is with God only?
45 “Ɛnyɛ me na mɛka asɛm bi atia mo Agya no anim, na mmom, ɛyɛ Mose a mode mo ani too ne mmara so sɛ ɛno na monam so bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu no.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one accusing you, in whom you have hoped.
46 Sɛ mogyee Mose diiɛ a, anka me nso mobɛgye me adi, ɛfiri sɛ, nsɛm a ɔtwerɛeɛ no di me ho adanseɛ.
For if you were believing Moses, you were believing me; for he wrote concerning me.
47 Na ɛsiane sɛ moannye nsɛm a ɔtwerɛeɛ no anni no enti, ɛnyɛ nwanwa sɛ monnye me nni.”
For if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
