John 5
1 After that ther was a feast of the Iewes and Iesus went vp to Ierusalem.
Baada ya hayo kulikuwa na sikukuu ya Wayahudi, naye Yesu akaenda Yerusalemu.
2 And ther is at Ierusalem by ye slaughterhousse a pole called in ye Ebrue toge Bethseda havinge five porches
Huko Yerusalemu, karibu na mlango uitwao Mlango wa Kondoo, kulikuwa na bwawa la maji liitwalo kwa Kiebrania Bethzatha, ambalo lilikuwa na baraza tano zenye matao.
3 in which laye a greate multitude of sicke folke of blinde halt and wyddered waytinge for the movinge of the water.
Humo barazani mlikuwa na wagonjwa wengi wamekaa: vipofu, viwete na waliopooza. Walikuwa wakingojea maji yatibuliwe,
4 For an angell wet doune at a certayne ceason into ye pole and troubled ye water. Whosoever then fyrst after the steringe of the water stepped in was made whoale of what soever disease he had.
maana mara kwa mara malaika alishuka majini nyakati fulani na kuyatibua. Mtu yeyote aliyekuwa wa kwanza kuingia majini baada ya maji kutibuliwa, alipona ugonjwa wowote aliokuwa nao.
5 And a certayne ma was theare which had bene diseased. xxxviii. yeares
Basi, hapo palikuwa na mtu mmoja aliyekuwa mgonjwa kwa muda wa miaka thelathini na minane.
6 When Iesus sawe him lye and knewe that he now longe tyme had bene diseased he sayde vnto him. Wilt thou be made whoale?
Naye alipomwona huyo mtu amelala hapo, akatambua kwamba alikuwa amekaa hapo kwa muda mrefu, akamwuliza, “Je, wataka kupona?”
7 The sicke answered him: Syr I have no man whe the water is troubled to put me into the pole. But in the meane tyme whill I am about to come another steppeth doune before me.
Naye akajibu, “Mheshimiwa, mimi sina mtu wa kunipeleka majini wakati yanapotibuliwa. Kila nikijaribu kuingia, mtu mwingine hunitangulia.”
8 And Iesus sayde vnto him: ryse take vp thy beed and walke.
Yesu akamwambia, “Inuka, chukua mkeka wako utembee.”
9 And immediatly the man was made whole and toke vp his beed and went. And the same daye was the Saboth daye
Mara huyo mtu akapona, akachukua mkeka wake, akatembea. Jambo hili lilifanyika siku ya Sabato.
10 The Iewes therfore sayde vnto him that was made whole. It is ye Saboth daye it is not laufull for the to cary thy beed
Kwa hiyo baadhi ya Wayahudi wakamwambia huyo mtu aliyeponywa, “Leo ni Sabato, si halali kubeba mkeka wako.”
11 He answered them: he that made me whole sayde vnto me: take vp thy beed and get the hence.
Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Yule mtu aliyeniponya ndiye aliyeniambia: Chukua mkeka wako, tembea.”
12 Then axed they him: what man is that which sayde vnto the take vp thy beed and walke.
Nao wakamwuliza, “Huyo mtu aliyekwambia: Chukua mkeka wako, tembea, ni nani?”
13 And he yt was healed wist not who it was. For Iesus had gotte him selfe awaye be cause yt ther was preace of people in ye place.
Lakini yeye hakumjua huyo mtu aliyemponya, maana Yesu alikuwa amekwisha ondoka mahali hapo, kwani palikuwa na umati mkubwa wa watu.
14 And after that Iesus founde him in the teple and sayd vnto him: beholde thou arte made whole synne no moore lest a worsse thinge happe vnto the.
Basi, baadaye Yesu alimkuta huyo aliyeponywa Hekaluni, akamwambia, “Sasa umepona; usitende dhambi tena, usije ukapatwa na jambo baya zaidi.”
15 The man departed and tolde ye Iewes that yt was Iesus whiche had made him whole.
Huyo mtu akaenda, akawaambia viongozi wa Wayahudi kwamba Yesu ndiye aliyemponya.
16 And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus and sought the meanes to slee him because he had done these thinges on the Saboth daye.
Kwa vile Yesu alifanya jambo hilo siku ya Sabato, Wayahudi walianza kumdhulumu.
17 And Iesus answered them: my father worketh hidder to and I worke.
Basi, Yesu akawaambia, “Baba yangu anafanya kazi daima, nami pia nafanya kazi.”
18 Therfore the Iewes sought the moare to kill him not only because he had broken the Saboth: but sayde also that God was his father and made him selfe equall with God.
Kwa sababu ya maneno haya, viongozi wa Wayahudi walizidi kutafuta njia ya kumwua Yesu: si kwa kuwa aliivunja Sheria ya Sabato tu, bali pia kwa kuwa alisema kwamba Mungu ni Baba yake, na hivyo akajifanya sawa na Mungu.
19 Then answered Iesus and sayde vnto them: verely verely I saye vnto you: the sonne can do no thinge of him selfe but that he seeth ye father do. For whatsoever he doeth yt doeth the sonne also.
Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, Mwana hawezi kufanya kitu peke yake; anaweza tu kufanya kile anachomwona Baba akikifanya. Maana kile anachofanya Baba, Mwana hukifanya vilevile.
20 For the father loveth ye sonne and sheweth him all thinges whatsoever he him selfe doeth. And he will shewe him greter workes then these because ye shoulde marvayle.
Baba ampenda Mwana, na humwonyesha kila kitu anachokifanya yeye mwenyewe, tena atamwonyesha mambo makuu kuliko haya, nanyi mtastaajabu.
21 For lykwyse as the father rayseth vp ye deed and quickeneth them even so the sonne quyckeneth whom he will.
Kama vile Baba huwafufua wafu na kuwapa uzima, vivyo hivyo naye Mwana huwapa uzima wale anaopenda.
22 Nether iudgeth ye father eny ma: but hath comitted all iudgemet vnto the sonne
Baba hamhukumu mtu yeyote; shughuli yote ya hukumu amemkabidhi Mwana,
23 because that all men shuld honoure the sonne eve as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not ye sonne the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.
ili watu wote wamheshimu Mwana kama vile wanavyomheshimu Baba. Asiyemheshimu Mwana hamheshimu Baba ambaye amemtuma.
24 Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that heareth my wordes and beleveth on him that sent me hath everlastinge lyfe and shall not come into damnacion: but is scaped fro deth vnto lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
“Kweli nawaambieni, anayesikia neno langu, na kumwamini yule aliyenituma, anao uzima wa milele. Hatahukumiwa kamwe, bali amekwisha pita kutoka kifo na kuingia katika uzima. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verely verely I saye vnto you: the tyme shall come and now is when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they yt heare shall live.
Kweli nawaambieni, wakati unakuja, tena umekwisha fika, ambapo wafu wataisikia sauti ya Mwana wa Mungu, nao watakaoisikia, wataishi.
26 For as the father hath life in him silfe: so lyke wyse hath he geven to ye sonne to have lyfe in him silfe:
Kama vile Baba alivyo asili ya uhai, ndivyo pia alivyomjalia Mwanawe kuwa asili ya uhai.
27 and hath geven him power also to iudge in that he is the sonne of man.
Tena amempa mamlaka ya kuhukumu kwa sababu yeye ni Mwana wa Mtu.
28 Marvayle not at this ye houre shall come in the which all yt are in the graves shall heare his voice
Msistaajabie jambo hili; maana wakati unakuja ambapo wote waliomo makaburini wataisikia sauti yake,
29 and shall come forthe: they that have done good vnto the resurreccion of lyfe: and they that have done evyll vnto the resurreccion of dampnacion.
nao watafufuka: wale waliotenda mema watafufuka na kuishi, na wale waliotenda maovu watafufuka na kuhukumiwa.
30 I can of myne awne selfe do nothinge at all. As I heare I iudge and my iudgemet is iust because I seke not myne awne will but the will of ye father which hath sent me.
“Mimi siwezi kufanya kitu kwa uwezo wangu mwenyewe. Mimi nina hukumu kama ninavyosikia kutoka kwa Baba, nayo hukumu yangu ni ya haki. Nia yangu si kufanya nipendavyo mwenyewe, bali apendavyo yule aliyenituma.
31 Yf I beare witnes of my selfe my witnes is not true.
Nikijishuhudia mimi mwenyewe, ushahidi wangu hauwezi kukubaliwa kuwa wa kweli.
32 Ther is a nother that beareth witnes of me and I am sure that the witnes whiche he beareth of me is true.
Lakini yuko mwingine ambaye hutoa ushahidi juu yangu, nami najua kwamba yote anayosema juu yangu ni ya kweli.
33 Ye sent vnto Iohn and he bare witnes vnto the truthe.
Ninyi mlituma ujumbe kwa Yohane naye aliushuhudia ukweli.
34 But I receave not the recorde of man. Neverthelesse these thinges I saye that ye might be safe.
Si kwamba mimi nautegemea ushahidi wa wanadamu, lakini nasema mambo haya ili mpate kuokolewa.
35 He was a burninge and a shyninge light and ye wolde for a season have reioysed in his light.
Yohane alikuwa kama taa iliyokuwa ikiwaka na kuangaza, nanyi mlikuwa tayari kufurahia mwanga huo kwa kitambo.
36 But I have greater witnes then the witnes of Iohn. For ye workes which ye father hath geve me to fynisshe: the same workes which I do beare witnes of me that ye father sent me.
Lakini mimi nina ushahidi juu yangu ambao ni mkuu zaidi kuliko ule wa Yohane. Kwa maana kazi ninazofanya, kazi alizonipa Baba nizifanye, ndizo zinazonishuhudia kwamba Baba ndiye aliyenituma.
37 And the father him silfe which hath sent me beareth witnes of me. Ye have not hearde his voyce at eny tyme nor ye have sene his shape:
Naye Baba aliyenituma hunishuhudia. Ninyi hamjapata kamwe kusikia sauti yake, wala kuuona uso wake,
38 therto his wordes have ye not abydinge in you. For whome he hath sent: him ye beleve not.
na ujumbe wake haukai ndani yenu maana hamkumwamini yule aliyemtuma.
39 Searche the scriptures for in them ye thinke ye have eternall lyfe: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
Ninyi huyachunguza Maandiko Matakatifu mkidhani kwamba ndani yake mtapata uzima wa milele; na kumbe maandiko hayohayo yananishuhudia! (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet will ye not come to me that ye might have lyfe.
Hata hivyo, ninyi hamtaki kuja kwangu ili mpate uzima.
41 I receave not prayse of men.
“Shabaha yangu si kupata sifa kutoka kwa watu.
42 But I knowe you that ye have not the love of God in you
Lakini nawajua ninyi, najua kwamba upendo kwa Mungu haumo mioyoni mwenu.
43 I am come in my fathers name and ye receave me not. Yf another shall come in his awne name him will ye receave.
Mimi nimekuja kwa mamlaka ya Baba yangu, lakini hamnipokei; bali mtu mwingine akija kwa mamlaka yake mwenyewe, mtampokea.
44 How can ye beleve which receave honoure one of another and seke not the honoure that commeth of God only?
Mwawezaje kuamini, hali ninyi mnapenda kupokea sifa kutoka kwenu ninyi wenyewe, wala hamtafuti sifa kutoka kwake yeye aliye peke yake Mungu?
45 Doo not thinke that I wyll accuse you to my father. Ther is one that accuseth you eve Moses in whom ye trust.
Msifikiri kwamba mimi nitawashtaki kwa Baba. Mose ambaye ninyi mmemtumainia ndiye atakayewashtaki.
46 For had ye beleved Moses ye wold have beleved me: for he wrote of me.
Kama kweli mngemwamini Mose, mngeniamini na mimi pia; maana Mose aliandika juu yangu.
47 But now ye beleve not his writinge: how shall ye beleve my wordes.
Lakini hamuyaamini yale aliyoandika, mtawezaje basi, kuamini maneno yangu?”
