Yohani 5
1 Pambele uYesu akaluta kulikaaja ilya Yelusalemu ku kikulukulu ikya Vayahudi.
Sometime after this there was a Jewish Festival; 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.
There is in Jerusalem, near the sheep-gate, a bath with five colonnades around it. It is called in Hebrew ‘Bethesda.’
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 colonnades a large number of sick people were lying – blind, lame, and crippled.
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.
One man who was there had been crippled 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 the man lying there, and, finding that he had been in this state a long time, said to him, “Do you wish to be cured?”
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.”
“I have no one, Sir,” the sick man answered, “to put me into the bath when there is a troubling of the water, and, while I am getting to it, someone else steps down before me.”
8 Pe pano uYesu akam'buula akati, “Ima veghala iliteefu lyako vujagha.”
“Stand up,” said Jesus, “take up your mat, and walk.”
9 Pala pala umuunhu jula akasooka, akaveghala iliteefu lyake, akavuuka iluta. Ikighono ikio jaale Sabato.
The man was cured immediately, and took up his mat and began walking.
10 Pe aVayahudi vakam'buula umuunhu jula juno asokile vakati, “Umusyughu kighono kya Sabato, indaghilo na sikwitikisia kupiinda iliteefu.”
Now it was the Sabbath. So the religious authorities said to the man who had been cured, “This 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.”
“The man who cured me,” he answered, “said to me ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
12 Vakamposia kange vakati, “Ghwe veeni juno akuvulile kuuti 'Veghala iliteefu lyako vujagha?”
“Who was 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 restored did not know who it was; for Jesus had moved away, because there was a crowd there.
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.”
Afterward Jesus found the man in the Temple Courts, and said to him, “You are cured now; do not sin again, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 Umuunhu jula akavuuka pala akaluta kukuvavuula aVayahudi kuuti juno ansosisie ghwe Yesu.
The man went away, and told the authorities that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 Pepano, vwimila amasio aghuo aVayahudi vakampumwisie uYesu, ulwakuva alyavombile isio mu kighono ikya Sabato.
And that was why they began to persecute Jesus – because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.
17 Neke uYesu akavavuula akati, “UNhaata ghwango ivomba imbombo ifighono fyoni, na juune nivomba imbombo ifighono fyoni.”
But Jesus replied, “My Father works to this very hour, and I work also.”
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.
This made the authorities all the more eager to kill him, because not only was he doing away with the Sabbath, but he actually called God his own Father – putting himself on an equality 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.
So Jesus made this further reply, “In truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does also.
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 his Son, and shows him everything that he is doing; and he will show him still greater things – so that you will be filled with wonder.
21 Ndavule uNhaata vule ikuvasyusia avafue na kukuvapeela uvwumi, fye enendiiki na juune nikuvapeela uvwumi, vano nilonda kukuvapeela.
For, just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he pleases.
22 Ulwakuva uNhaata naihigha muunhu, looli ampeliile umwanake uvutavulilua uvwa kuhigha,
The Father himself does not judge any one, but has entrusted the work of judging entirely to his Son,
23 Kuuti avaanhu vooni vamwoghopaghe ndavule vikumwoghopa umwene. Umuunhu juno naikumwoghopa umwanake naikumwoghopa uNhata juno ansung'hile.
so that everyone may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The person who does not honour the Son fails to honour 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 truth I tell you that the person who listens to my message and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come under condemnation, but has already passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Kyang'haani nikuvavuula, unsiki ghukwisa, kange ghufikile, avafue vilipulika, viliiva nu vwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila.
In truth I tell you that a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead will listen to the voice of the Son of God, and when those who listen 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 inherent life within him, so also he has granted to the Son to have inherent life within him;
27 Kange, amheliile uvtavulilua uvwa kuhigha avaanhu, ulwakuva une nili, Mwana ghwa Muunhu.
and, because he is Son of Man, he has also given him authority to act as judge.
28 Namungadeghaghe amasio aghuo, ulwakuva ghukwisa unsiki ghuno avafue vooni vilipulika ing'hemeelo jaango.
Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,
29 Avafue vilisyuka: vano vavombagha inofu viiva nu vwumi uvwa fighono fyoni, vano vavombagha uvuhosi vilihighua.
and will come out – those who have done good rising to life, and those who have lived evil lives rising for condemnation.
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 do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgment that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
31 Nave une nikujoleka juune, uvwolesi vwango navwale vuuva vwa kyang'haani.
“If I bear testimony to myself, my testimony is not trustworthy;
32 Looli kwale ujunge juno ikwoleka imhola sango na juune nikagwile kuuti sino ikwoleka vwimila une sa kyang'haani.
it is another who bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears to me is trustworthy.
33 Umue mulyasung'hile avaanhu kwa Yohani umwofughi, ghwope alyavoliike isa kyang'haani vwimila une.
You have yourselves sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Neke une nanihuviila sino vikwoleka avaanhu, ulwene nijova isi kuuti mukave uvupoki.
But the testimony which I receive is not from people; I am saying this for your salvation.
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 was burning and shining, and you were ready to rejoice, for a time, in 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 of greater weight than John’s; for the work that the Father has given me to carry out – the work that I am doing – is in itself proof that the Father has sent me as his messenger.
37 Ghope uNhaata juno asunghile une, ikwoleka imhola sango. Umue namughelile nambe lusiku kupulika ilisio lyake, kukumwagha vule alivuo unsiki ghwoni.
The Father who has sent me has himself borne testimony to me. You have neither listened to his voice, not seen his form;
38 Kange imbulanisio saake nasili nkate mulyumue ulwakuva namukumwitika juno asung'hilue kulyumue.
and you have not taken his message home to your hearts, because you do not believe him whom he sent as his messenger.
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 think that you find in them immortal life; and, though it is those scriptures that bear testimony to me, (aiōnios g166)
40 Neke umue namulonda kukwisa kulyune, kuuti mu pelue uvwumi uvwumi uvwa kuvusila kusila.
you refuse to come to me to have life.
41 Une nanihuviila avaanhu vanginie,
“I do not receive honor from people,
42 neke nikagwile kuuti nkate mulyumue namuli nu lughano lwa Nguluve.
but I know this of you, that you have not the love of God in your hearts.
43 Une nisile mu vutavulilua uvwa Nhaata ghwango, umue namukunyupila. Neke ujunge angiise mu vutavulilua vwake jujuo, mwale mukumwupila.
I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Lino ndepoonu mukunyitika ndaani umue mwe vano mulonda kughinisivua na vaanhu, namulonda kughinisivua nu Nguluve juno ali jumo mwene?
How can you believe in me, when you receive honor from one another and do not desire the honor which comes from the only God?
45 Mulekaghe piiti ue nilikuvatwala kwa Nhaata avahighe. UMoose ghwe juno ilikuvatwala muhighue ulwakuva ghwe juno mukumhuviila.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; your accuser is Moses, on whom you have been resting your hopes.
46 Musava mukumwitika uMoose, ngale mukunyitika na juune, ulwakuva alyalembile imhola sango.
For, had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for it was of me that Moses wrote;
47 Neke nave namukwitika amasio ghano alyalembile uMoose, ndepoonu mukwitika ndaani amasio ghango?
but, if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my teaching?”
