Yohani 5
1 Pambele uYesu akaluta kulikaaja ilya Yelusalemu ku kikulukulu ikya Vayahudi.
After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Mu likaaja ilio pweghulyale umulyango um'baha ghuno ghukatambuluagha, mulyango ghwa ng'holo, piipi nu mulyango ughuo pwelilyale ililamba lino munjovele ija Kiebulania likatambulwagha Bethzatha, mulubale mulilamba ilio pwefilyale ifibalasa fihano ifyeleefu.
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in Hebrew 'Bethesda.' It has five arcades.
3 Mu lusulua ulwa fibalasa ifio valyaghonile avatamu vinga, avabofu amaaso, avalema amaghulu, na vanya liteela. (Vingilila: Amasio agha kadebe aka 3 naghivoneka mu malembe amanofu amakuulu. “Vakaghulagha amalenga ghatimbusivue.”)
In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.
4 Mu uluo, juno akavisagha ghwa kwasia kukwingila pano amalenga ghatimbwike, alyale isooka inhamu jaake.
5 Lino palilamba pala pwealyale umuunhu jumonga juno alyale ntamu amaaka fijigho fitatu na lekelakwoni.
And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 UYesu akamwagha umuunhu ujuo aghonile pala alyakagwile kuuti umuunhu ujuo inhamu jaake ja maaka minga, akamposia akati, “Asi ghulonda kusooka?”
Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"
7 Untamu jula akamwamula akati, “Ghwe Ntwa, amalenga ghangatimbusivue, nkwale umuunhu ughwa kumbiika mu lilamba. Pano nilonda kukwingila mu lilamba ye nivonagha umuunhu ujunge anhaliile pikwingila.”
"Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming some one else steps down before me."
8 Pe pano uYesu akam'buula akati, “Ima veghala iliteefu lyako vujagha.”
"Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."
9 Pala pala umuunhu jula akasooka, akaveghala iliteefu lyake, akavuuka iluta. Ikighono ikio jaale Sabato.
Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
10 Pe aVayahudi vakam'buula umuunhu jula juno asokile vakati, “Umusyughu kighono kya Sabato, indaghilo na sikwitikisia kupiinda iliteefu.”
That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."
11 Neke umuunhu jula akavamula akati, “Umuunhu juno asoosisie ghwe mwene ambulile kuuti, 'Veghala iliteefu lyako vujagha.”
"He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"
12 Vakamposia kange vakati, “Ghwe veeni juno akuvulile kuuti 'Veghala iliteefu lyako vujagha?”
"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?"
13 Neke umuunhu jula naalyammanyile juno ansosisie ulwakuva uYesu alyavukile kisyefu. Ulwakuva avaanu valyale vinga.
But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.
14 Pambele uYesu akamwagha umuunhu jula munyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, akambuula akati, “Lolagha lino usokile! “Nungavombaghe inyivi kange nave ghuvomba lukukwagha ulutalamu ulukome kukila ulwa kwanda.”
Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, or a worse thing may befall you."
15 Umuunhu jula akavuuka pala akaluta kukuvavuula aVayahudi kuuti juno ansosisie ghwe Yesu.
The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored him to health;
16 Pepano, vwimila amasio aghuo aVayahudi vakampumwisie uYesu, ulwakuva alyavombile isio mu kighono ikya Sabato.
and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “UNhaata ghwango ivomba imbombo ifighono fyoni, na juune nivomba imbombo ifighono fyoni.”
His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."
18 Vwimila uluo aVayahudi vakava vighina kulonda isila ija kum'buda uYesu vakalonda kukum'buda ulwakuva vakatisagha adenyile ululaghilo lwa kighono ikya Sabati, kange ijova kuuti, uNguluve ghwe viise, kange ikuviika kuuti aling'hiine nu Nguluve.
On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.
19 UYesu akavavuula akati, “Kyang'haani nikuvavuula une ne mwanaake nanivomba lumonga vwimila amasaaghe ghango, looli nivomba si sino nikumwagha uNhaata ivomba, nijova uluo, ulwakuva sino ivomba uNhaata se sino najune ne mwanaake nivoomba.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.
20 UNhaata anganile une ne mwanaake, ikuhofia sooni sino ivomba umwene, kange ilikuhufia une imbombo sino ilonda nivombe, imbombo imbaha kukila isio, kuuti pe mudeghe fiijo.
For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.
21 Ndavule uNhaata vule ikuvasyusia avafue na kukuvapeela uvwumi, fye enendiiki na juune nikuvapeela uvwumi, vano nilonda kukuvapeela.
For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
22 Ulwakuva uNhaata naihigha muunhu, looli ampeliile umwanake uvutavulilua uvwa kuhigha,
The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
23 Kuuti avaanhu vooni vamwoghopaghe ndavule vikumwoghopa umwene. Umuunhu juno naikumwoghopa umwanake naikumwoghopa uNhata juno ansung'hile.
that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.
24 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, umuunhu juno ipulika amasio ghango na kukumwitika uNguluve juno asung'hile ali nu vwumi uvwa fighono fyoni. Kange nailihighua. Looli ujuo akilile uvufue na kukwingila ku vwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila. (aiōnios g166)
"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, unsiki ghukwisa, kange ghufikile, avafue vilipulika, viliiva nu vwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila.
"In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.
26 Nijo uluo ulwakuva ndavule uNhaata vule ali ni ngufu isa kumpeela umuunhu uvwumi uvwa kuvisila kusila, najuune amheliile ingufu isa kuvapeela avaanhu uvwumi uvuo.
For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.
27 Kange, amheliile uvtavulilua uvwa kuhigha avaanhu, ulwakuva une nili, Mwana ghwa Muunhu.
And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Namungadeghaghe amasio aghuo, ulwakuva ghukwisa unsiki ghuno avafue vooni vilipulika ing'hemeelo jaango.
Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--
29 Avafue vilisyuka: vano vavombagha inofu viiva nu vwumi uvwa fighono fyoni, vano vavombagha uvuhosi vilihighua.
they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.
30 UYesu akafijovagha akati une nanivomba kimonga vwimila amasaaghe ghango, une nihigha avaanhu ndavule ikumbuula uNhata. Nihigha mu vwakyang'haani, ulwakuva nanivomba muvughane vwango, looli mu vughane vwa Nguluve juno asung'hile.
"I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.
31 Nave une nikujoleka juune, uvwolesi vwango navwale vuuva vwa kyang'haani.
"If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.
32 Looli kwale ujunge juno ikwoleka imhola sango na juune nikagwile kuuti sino ikwoleka vwimila une sa kyang'haani.
There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.
33 Umue mulyasung'hile avaanhu kwa Yohani umwofughi, ghwope alyavoliike isa kyang'haani vwimila une.
"You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.
34 Neke une nanihuviila sino vikwoleka avaanhu, ulwene nijova isi kuuti mukave uvupoki.
But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.
35 UYohani umwofughi alyahufisie uvwakyang'haani kulyumue, ndavule itaala vule jiviika na kumulika mung'hiisi, umue mulyahovwike vwimila uluo ku nsiki ndebe.
He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.
36 Neke une nili ni mhola sino sikunyoleka fiijo kukila sino alyoliike uYohani, ulwakuva imbombo sino nivomba, sino alyamheliile uNhaata kuuti nivombe, se sino sikunyoleka kuuti uNhaata juno asung'hile.
"But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.
37 Ghope uNhaata juno asunghile une, ikwoleka imhola sango. Umue namughelile nambe lusiku kupulika ilisio lyake, kukumwagha vule alivuo unsiki ghwoni.
And the Father who sent me, He has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.
38 Kange imbulanisio saake nasili nkate mulyumue ulwakuva namukumwitika juno asung'hilue kulyumue.
Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom He has sent.
39 Mughimba kulolesia mu malembe amimike, ulwakuva musagha kuti nkate umuo mukava uvwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila, amalembe aghu ghikunyoleka une. (aiōnios g166)
"You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 Neke umue namulonda kukwisa kulyune, kuuti mu pelue uvwumi uvwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila.
and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
41 Une nanihuviila avaanhu vanginie,
"I do not accept glory from man,
42 neke nikagwile kuuti nkate mulyumue namuli nu lughano lwa Nguluve.
but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.
43 Une nisile mu vutavulilua uvwa Nhaata ghwango, umue namukunyupila. Neke ujunge angiise mu vutavulilua vwake jujuo, mwale mukumwupila.
I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.
44 Lino ndepoonu mukunyitika ndaani umue mwe vano mulonda kughinisivua na vaanhu, namulonda kughinisivua nu Nguluve juno ali jumo mwene?
How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Mulekaghe piiti ue nilikuvatwala kwa Nhaata avahighe. UMoose ghwe juno ilikuvatwala muhighue ulwakuva ghwe juno mukumhuviila.
"Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.
46 Musava mukumwitika uMoose, ngale mukunyitika na juune, ulwakuva alyalembile imhola sango.
For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 Neke nave namukwitika amasio ghano alyalembile uMoose, ndepoonu mukwitika ndaani amasio ghango?
But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
