John 5
1 Momo bu mavioka, kuyiza ba nyengo wu bayuda, Yesu wuyenda ku Yelusalemi.
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Va ndambu muelo phaka yi mamemi, vaba buindi kimosi ki nlangu kiba mintanda mintanu mi makunzi. Dizina di buindi beni mu ki Ebelewo Betezata.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 Mu makunzi beni muleka bambevo bawombo: baphofo, batu babantiudikanga ayi batu baba binama bibela. [Baba vingilanga nlangu wunikuka.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 Bila zithangu zinkaka mbasi yi Pfumu yiba kulukanga mu buindiayi nikunanga nlangu. Woso wuba mutu wutheti mu kukiloza mu buindi, nlangubu wunikunu, niandi wumbeluka boso buididi kimbevo kiandi.]
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 Vaba mbevo yimosi yibedila mu makumatatu ayi nana di mimvu.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 Yesu bu kammona buna kalambididi vana, ayi bu kazaba ti mutu beni wubedila kimbevo kiandi tona thama; buna wunyuvula: —Tidi beluka e?
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he says unto him, Will you be made whole?
7 Mbevo yimvutuddila: —Tata, ndisi ko mutu wukutsadisa mu vika kuthibula mu buindi nlangu bu wunikunu. Bila mu thangu minu ndinkuiza buna wunkaka wuntibukanga tuamina minu.
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 steps down before me.
8 Buna Yesu wunkamba: —Telama, bonga khualꞌaku ayi diata.
Jesus says unto him, Rise, take up your bed, and walk.
9 Vana vawu, mutu wubeluka. Wubonga khualꞌandi, wutona diata. Vayi lumbu beni kiba ki saba.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 Bayuda bakamba mutu wowo wubeluka ti: —Buabu kidi lumbu ki saba, mina mieti kandika mu nata khuala!
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
11 Vayi mutu beni wuba vutudila: —Mutu wowo wumbelusidi, niandi wukhembingi ti “bonga khualꞌaku ayi diata!”
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up your bed, and walk.
12 Banyuvula: —Nani mutu wowo wukembingi ti: “bonga khualꞌaku ayi diata e?”
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto you, Take up your bed, and walk?
13 Vayi mutu wowo wubeluka kasia zaba ko mutu wowo wumbelusa. Bila Yesu wukifielumukinina mu nkangu wu batu wuba vana.
And he that was healed know not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Mambu momo bu mavioka, Yesu wudengana mutu beni mu Nzo Nzambi, wunkamba: —Tala, buabu belukidi. Vayi, kadi buela vola masumu tala wedi builu malutidi biva.
Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto you.
15 Buna mutu beni wuyenda ayi wukamba Bayuda ti Yesu niandi wumbelusidingi.
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 Mu diambu diodi Bayuda bayamisa Yesu bila wuvanga mambu momo mu lumbu ki saba.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 Vayi yesu wuba vutudila: —Dise diama dilembo sadi nate buabu, diawu minu mamvama ndilembo sadi!
But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18 Mu diambu di mambu momo, Bayuda baluta buela tomba kumvonda; bika sia ti mu diambu kambundulanga lumbu ki saba vayi mu diambu kankambanga diaka ti Nzambi niandi Dise diandi ayi weta kukidedikisanga banga Nzambi.
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 Vayi Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti Muana kalendi vanga diambu mu niandi veka ko. Wumvanganga kaka moso mambu kamona kuidi dise diandi. Moso mambu mamvanganga Tata mawu Muana keti vanga.
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things whatsoever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
20 Bila Tata wunzolanga Muana, wunkumonisanga mambu mosomomo keti vanganga niandi veka; wela kummonisa mavanga malutiditola ayi mama muingi lulembo kasiminanga.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that himself does: and he will show him greater works than these, that all of you may marvel.
21 Bila banga Tata bu keti fulukisanga bafua ayi keti kuba vananga luzingu, buawu bobo muana keti vanina luzingu kuidi woso wukatidi.
For as the Father raises up the dead, and replenishes life to them; even so the Son gives life to whom he will.
22 Niandi veka Tata kasambisanga mutu ko vayi wuyekula tsambusulu yoso mu mioko mi Muana
For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 mu diambu batu boso bakinzika Muana banga bobo beta kinzikila Tata. Woso mutu wunkambu kinzikanga Muana, buna kakinzikanga ko Dise diodi dintuma.
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
24 Bukiedika ndikulukamba ti woso mutu wu wa mambu mama ayiwunwilukila mutu wowo wuthuma buna niandi beki luzingu lukalumaniayi kalendi sambusu ko, bila wukatukidi mu lufua ayi wuyizidi ku luzingu. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, (logos) and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Bukiedika, bukiedika ndikulukamba ti thangu yeka kuiza, ayi yifueni, yoyi bafua bela wila mbembo yi Muana Nzambi ayi bobo bela kuyiwa bawu bela zinga.
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 Bila banga Tata bu kabakidi luzingu mu niandi veka, buawu bobo kavanina Muana mu baka luzingu mu niandi veka.
For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 Sumbu kadi ti Muana Mutu, buna wumvana lulendo lu sambisila.
And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Bikanu kueno simina mu diambu diodi; bila thangu yeka kuiza, yoyi babo bobo badi mu biziami bela wila mbembo andi;
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 bela totuka. Babo bavanga mamboti bela fuluka mu diambu di tambulaluzingu vayi bobo bavanga mambu mambimbi bela fuluka mu diambu di tambula thumbudulu.
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 Minu ndilendi vanga kadi diambu dimosi ko mu minu veka. Ndieti sambisa boso buididi mambu momo ndieti wa ayi tsambusuluꞌama yidi yisonga. Bila nditombanga ko luzolo luama vayi ndintombanga luzolo lu mutu wowo wuthuma.
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 has sent me.
31 —Enati minu veka ndikukiteliminanga kimbangi buna kimbangi kiamakisi ki kiedika ko.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Vayi vadi mutu wunkaka wukuthelimina kimbangi ayi nzebi ti kimbangi kiandi, mu diambu diama, kidi ki kiedika.
There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33 Beno lutuma batu kuidi Yowani ayi niandi wutelimina kiedika kimbangi.
All of you sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 Vayi minu, ndisi ko mfunu telomono kimbangi kuidi mutu vayithubidi bobo muingi luvuka.
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that all of you might be saved.
35 Yowani wuba muinda wunlema ayi wunlezama, ayi, beno luzola monakhini mu ndambu thangu kaka mu kiezila kiandi.
He was a burning and a shining light: and all of you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 Vayi kimbangi kidi yama kiviokidi munneni ayi kimbangi ki Yowani. Bila mavanga maphana Tata mu dukisa, mawu ndieta vanga ayi mawu meta telama kimbangi mu minu ti Tata wuthuma.
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37 Tata, mutu wowo wuthuma, niandi veka wutelama kimbangi mu diambudiama. Vayi luwilu ko mbemboꞌandi andi lumueni ko zizi kiandi
And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. All of you have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 ayi mambu mandi masi ko mu beno, bila mutu wowo katuma benolukadi kueno kunwilukila.
And all of you have not his word (logos) abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him all of you believe not.
39 Beno lueti fiongunina masonoko ila lueta banzila ti mu mawu lubakidi luzingu lukalumani ayi masonoko beni mawu meta telama kimbangi mu diambu diama. (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for in them all of you think all of you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Ayi lumengi kueno kuiza kuidi minu muingi lutambula luzingu.
And all of you will not come to me, that all of you might have life.
41 Nditombanga ko nkembo wowo wumbanga kuidi batu.
I receive not honour from men.
42 Muaki minu ndiluzebi ti luisi ko luzolo mu Nzambi.
But I know you, that all of you have not the love (agape) of God in you.
43 Minu ndiyiza mu dizina di Dise diama ayi lumengi kuthambula. Enati mutu wunkaka wizidi mu dizina diandi veka buna niandi luntambulanga.
I am come in my Father's name, and all of you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him all of you will receive.
44 Buevi lulenda wilukila, beno lueti tombanga nkembo mu beno yi benoayi lutombanga ko nkembo wumbanga kuidi Nzambi e?
How can all of you believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that comes from God only?
45 Bikanu kueno banza ti minu ndiela kulufunda kuidi Tata vayi vadimutu wela kulufunda kuidi Tata, Moyize, mutu wowo beno lusila diana.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom all of you trust.
46 Bila enati lueta wilukila Moyize, nganu lueta kunguilukila; bila niandi wusonika mu diambu diama.
For had all of you believed Moses, all of you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 Enati lukadi wilukila mambu kasonika, buna buevi lulenda wilukila mambu momo ndintuba e?
But if all of you believe not his writings, how shall all of you believe my words? (rhema)
