John 5
1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem when the Jews were having [another] celebration.
Bangʼ kinde moko, Yesu nodhi Jerusalem e Sap jo-Yahudi.
2 At one of the gates [into the city] called the Sheep Gate, there is a pool. In our language we call it Bethzatha. [Around the pool] were five open areas with roofs over them.
E Jerusalem kanyo, but ranga Rombe, miluongo ni Bethesda gi dho jo-Hibrania, ne nitiere yawo moro ma nigi raidhi abich midonjogo.
3 Many people were lying there. They were people who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.
Kanyo ji mathoth man-gi tuoche mopogore opogore kaka muofni, rongʼonde, kod joma nigi athany nohero riyo kanyo [kendo negirito mondo pi otugre.
Kinde ka kinde malaika mar Ruoth ne lor mondo otug pi. Ngʼama nokwongo donjo e pigno sa ma otugoreno ne chango kuom kit tuo moro amora mane en-go].
5 One of those who was there had been paralyzed for 38 years.
To ne nitie ngʼato kanyo mane osebedo gi midekre kuom higni piero adek gaboro.
6 Jesus saw him lying there and found out that the man had been like that for a long time. He said to the man, “Do you want to become well?”
Kane Yesu onene konindo kanyo, kendo kane onyise ni osebedo kochal kamano kuom kinde marabora, nopenje niya, “Bende idwaro ni ochangi?”
7 The paralyzed man replied to him, “[Yes], sir, [I want to get well, but] there is no one to help me get down into the pool when the water is stirred {stirs}. While I am trying to get [to the pool], someone else always gets there before me.”
Ngʼatno nodwoke niya, “Jaduongʼ, aonge gi ngʼama nyalo konya donjo ei yawo sa ma pi otugore. Kinde ka kinde ma atemo ni adonji to ngʼat machielo donjo kuongona.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Get up! Then pick up your mat and walk!”
Yesu nowachone niya, “Aa malo! Kaw pieni mondo iwuothi.”
9 The man immediately was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking! The day on which this happened was a Jewish day of rest.
Gikanyono ngʼatno nochango, kendo nokawo piende mowuotho. Ma notimore chiengʼ Sabato,
10 So the Jewish [leaders] said to the man who had been healed, “Today is (the Sabbath/our rest day), and [in our Jewish] laws [it is written that people should not work on our] ([Sabbath/rest day]), so you should not be carrying your mat!”
omiyo jo-Yahudi nowachone ngʼama nochangino niya, “Kawuono en chiengʼ Sabato, kendo chik ok oyieni tingʼo pieni.”
11 The man replied to them, “The man who healed me, he himself said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’”
Nodwokogi niya, “Ngʼat ma nochanga ema nowachona ni, ‘Kaw pieni mondo iwuothi.’”
12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk!’?”
Omiyo negipenje niya, “Mano to en ngʼama nade manowachoni ni ikaw pieni kendo iwuothi?”
13 But since Jesus had disappeared in the crowd [without telling the man his name], the man did not know who it was [who had healed him].
To ngʼat mane ochangino ne ok ongʼeyo nying ngʼat mane ochange, nimar noyudo ka Yesu osedonjo ei oganda mane ni kanyo.
14 Later, Jesus found the man in the Temple [courtyard]. He [told the man his name, and] said to him, “Listen! You are healed! So stop sinning! If you do not stop sinning, something will happen to you that will be worse [than the illness you had before]!”
Bangʼe Yesu noyude e hekalu mowachone niya, “Winji, koro isedoko mangima. We richo, nono to gimoro marach moloyo biro timoreni.”
15 The man went away and told the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] that it was Jesus who had healed him.
Ngʼatno noa modhi onyiso jo-Yahudi ni Yesu ema nochange.
16 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] started to harass Jesus, because Jesus was doing these things (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day).
Kuom mano, nikech Yesu ne chango ji chiengʼ Sabato, jo-Yahudi nosande.
17 Then Jesus replied to them, “My Father has always been working every day, [including] ([the Sabbath/the day of rest]), up until now. I am doing the same thing!”
To Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Wuora osiko katiyo tichne nyaka kawuono, kendo an bende atiyo mana kamano.”
18 The Jewish leaders [SYN] considered that he was disobeying their rules about (the Sabbath/the day of rest), and that by saying that God was his Father, he was making himself equal with God. And they considered that both these things were grounds for killing him. So they tried even harder to find a way to kill him.
Wachni nomiyo jo-Yahudi oramo ni nyaka ginege, nimar negineno ni ok Sabato kende ema noketho, to bende noluongo Nyasaye ni Wuon-gi, manyiso ni ne oketore ni orom gi Nyasaye.
19 Jesus replied to them by saying, “You need to know this: I can do nothing by my own [authority]. I do only the [kind of] things that I see [my] Father doing. Whatever kinds of things my Father is doing, those are the things I am doing.
Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Awachonu adier ni, Wuod Dhano ok nyal timo gimoro kende owuon; to onyalo mana timo gima oneno ka Wuoro timo, nikech gimoro amora ma Wuoro timo ema Wuowi bende timo.
20 [My] Father loves me, and he shows me everything that he is doing. He will show me [the miracles] that [he wants me to do] that will be greater than the ones that [you have already seen me do], so that you may be amazed.
Nimar Wuoro ohero Wuowi, kendo onyise gik moko duto motimo. Ee, obiro medo nyise nyaka gik madongo moloyo magi mi unuwuor.
21 [For example], just like [my] Father causes people who have died to become alive again, I will give [eternal] life to everyone that I want to.
Mana kaka Wuoro chiero joma otho, kendo miyogi ngima, e kaka Wuowi bende chiwo ngima ne ngʼato angʼata mohero.
22 Furthermore, [my] Father is not the one who judges people [concerning their sins]. Instead, he has given to me the work of judging people,
To bende, Wuoro ok ngʼad bura ne ngʼato, to oseketo teko mar ngʼado bura e lwet Wuowi,
23 in order that all people may honor me, just like they honor [my] Father. [My] Father [considers that] anyone who does not honor me is not honoring [him], the one who sent me.
mondo ji duto omi Wuowi duongʼ mana kaka gimiyo Wuoro duongʼ. Ngʼat ma ok mi Wuowi duongʼ ok mi Wuoro mane ooro Wuowino duongʼ.
24 Listen to this carefully: Those who hear my message and believe that [God] is the one who sent me have eternal life. [God will] not (condemn them/say that he will punish them). They are no longer separated from God. Instead, they have [eternal] life. (aiōnios g166)
“Awachonu adier ni ngʼato angʼata mawinjo wachna, kendo moyie kuom Jal mane oora, nigi ngima mochwere, kendo ok bi ngʼadne buch tho; to osengʼado oa e tho modonjo e ngima. (aiōnios g166)
25 Listen to this carefully: There will be a time when those who are (spiritually dead/separated from God) will hear the voice of me, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). In fact, it is that time already. Those who hear [and pay attention to my message] will have [eternal] life.
Awachonu adier ni ndalo biro, kendo koro osechopo, ma joma otho biro winjo dwond Wuod Nyasaye, kendo joma owinjo dwolno biro doko mangima.
26 [My] Father has [power to] make things live. Similarly, he has given me the [power to enable] people to live [eternally].
Mana kaka Wuoro nigi teko mar miyo ji ngima, e kaka osemiyo Wuowi bende teko mar timo kamano.
27 Because I am the one who came from heaven, he has given me the authority to judge people [concerning their sins].
To bende osemiye teko mondo ongʼad bura, nikech en e Wuod Dhano.
28 Do not be surprised about that, because there will be a time when all people who have died will hear my voice,
“Wachni kik bwogu, nimar ndalo biro ma ji duto manie bur nowinj dwonde
29 and they will become alive again. Those who have lived good [lives] will rise [from their graves] and live forever. But those who have lived evil lives will rise, and I will (condemn them/declare that I will punish them [for their sins]).
mi giwuog oko; joma osetimo maber nochier mondo obed mangima, to joma osetimo gik maricho nochier mondo ongʼadnigi buch tho.
30 I do not do anything [like that] by my own authority. I judge people only according to what I hear [my Father tell me]. I will judge people fairly, because I do not want to please only myself. Instead, I want to please [my Father], who sent me.
An onge gima anyalo timo gi tekona awuon, to angʼado bura ne ji mana kaluwore gi gima awinjo, kendo bura ma angʼado nikare, nimar ok atim kamano mondo atim dwarona awuon, to mondo atim dwaro Jal mane oora.
31 If I were the [only] one to tell people about myself, [people could rightly say that] what I say is not true.
“Kapo ni atimo nenda awuon to nenda ok nikare.
32 But there is someone else who tells people about me. And I know that what he tells people about me is true.
To nitie ngʼama chielo matimo neno ma chwaka, kendo angʼeyo ni neno motimo kuoma nikare.
33 As for you, when you sent messengers to John [the Baptizer to ask about me], he told the truth [about me].
“Ne uoro joote ne Johana kendo osetimo neno kuom adiera.
34 I do not [need that] people tell others [about me]. But instead, I am reminding [you about what John told people about me], in order that you will [believe it and] be saved {[God] will save you}.
Ok awach kamano nikech ayie gi nend dhano, to awacho kamano mondo uyud warruok.
35 [John’s message about me] (OR, [John]) [MET] was [like] a lamp that shines brightly. For a short while you were willing to be made happy [by that message] {to let [that message] make you happy}.
Johana ne en taya maliel makelo ler, kendo kuom kinde moko nuyie mondo omiu lerno.
36 But there is something else that tells you about me. [It should prove who I am] more than what John [said about me]. The miracles [PRS] that [my] Father told me to do, the miracles that I am performing, show (OR, prove) to people that my Father sent me.
“To an gi neno maduongʼ moloyo mar Johana, nimar tich mane Wuora omiya mondo achopi, kendo makoro atimo sani-ni, nyiso ni Wuora ema noora.
37 Furthermore, [my] Father, who sent me, tells people about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him.
Wuoro moseorano osetimo neno kuoma en owuon. Pok uwinjo dwonde nyaka nene kendo pok uneno kite.
38 Furthermore, you have not believed in [me], the one he sent. So you have not [believed] his message in your inner beings.
Wachne bende onge eiu, nimar udagi yie kuom Jal mane ooro.
39 You carefully study (OR, Study) the Scriptures, because you think that by [studying] them you will [find the way to] have eternal life. And those Scriptures tell people about me! (aiōnios g166)
Uketo chunyu kuom nono Muma nikech uparo ni unyalo yudo ngima mochwere kuomgi. Muma ema timo neno kuoma, (aiōnios g166)
40 But you refuse (to come to me/to believe my message) in order that you may have [eternal] life.
to kata kamano utamoru biro ira mondo uyud ngima.
41 It does not [matter to] me whether people praise me.
“An ok adwar mondo dhano omiya duongʼ;
42 But you [want people to praise you]. I know that within yourselves you do not love God.
nikech angʼeyou maber ni uonge gihera mar Nyasaye e chunyu.
43 Although I have come to earth with my Father’s authority [MTY], you do not accept me. But if someone else comes with his own authority [MTY], you accept him!
An asebiro e nying Wuora, to utamoru rwaka; to ka ngʼato machielo nobi e nyinge owuon to ubiro rwake arwaka.
44 You accept your praising each other, but you do not try to do things that will result in God himself praising you. So (there is no way you can believe [in me]!/how can you believe [my message]?) [RHQ]
Ere kaka unyalo yie ka urwako pak ma joweteu pakougo, to ok utem matek mondo uyud pak moa kuom Nyasaye ma achiel kende?
45 But do not think that I am the one who will accuse you while [my] Father is listening! No, it is Moses who will accuse you! You thought that he would [defend you].
“Kik upar ni abiro donjonu e nyim Wuoro. Ngʼat madonjonu en Musa, ma useketo genou kuome.
46 Moses wrote about me, so if you had believed what he [wrote], you would have believed what I [said]
To ka dine bed ni uyie kuom Musa, to An bende dine uyie kuoma, nimar nondiko kuoma.
47 But because you did not believe what he wrote [about me], (you will certainly not believe what I say!/how will you believe what I say?) [RHQ]”
To kaka ok uyie kuom gik mane ondiko, ere kaka ubiro yie kuom gik ma awacho?”
