John 5 (NAV) · Opened

1وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَحَدِ الأَعْيَادِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ،Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2وَكَانَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ بَابِ الْغَنَمِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بِرْكَةٌ اسْمُهَا بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ بَيْتُ حِسْدَا، حَوْلَهَا خَمْسُ قَاعَاتٍ.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3يَرْقُدُ فِيهَا جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى مِنْ عُمْيَانٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَمَشْلُولِينَ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَنْ تَتَحَرَّكَ مِيَاهُ الْبِرْكَةِ،On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4لأَنَّ مَلاكاً كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنْ حِينٍ لِآخَرَ إِلَى الْبِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ مَاءَهَا، فَكَانَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ أَوَّلاً يُشْفَى، مَهْمَا كَانَ مَرَضُهُ.Not in the BSB

5وَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْبِرْكَةِ مَرِيضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً،One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6رَآهُ يَسُوعُ رَاقِداً هُنَاكَ فَعَرَفَ أَنَّ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً انْقَضَتْ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُشْفَى؟»When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

7فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَرِيضُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَيْسَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ يُلْقِينِي فِي الْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ الْمَاءُ. وَكَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ حَاوَلْتُ النُّزُولَ، فَكَانَ غَيْرِي يَنْزِلُ قَبْلِي دَائِماً».“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”

8فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ».Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9وَفِي الْحَالِ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ وَحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي شُفِيَ: «الْيَوْمَ سَبْتٌ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فِرَاشَكَ!»so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «الَّذِي أَعَادَ إِلَيَّ الصِّحَّةَ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ».But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ؟»“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13وَلكِنَّ الْمَرِيضَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ قَدِ ابْتَعَدَ، إِذْ كَانَ فِي الْمَكَانِ جَمْعٌ.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَجَدَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عُدْتَ صَحِيحاً فَلا تَرْجِعْ إِلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ لِئَلّا يُصِيبَكَ مَا هُوَ أَسْوَأُ!»Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

15فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي شَفَاهُ، أَسْرَعَ يُخْبِرُ الْيَهُودَ بِذلِكَ.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16فَأَخَذَ الْيَهُودُ يُضَايِقُونَ يَسُوعَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ هذِهِ الأَعْمَالَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَازَالَ أَبِي يَعْمَلُ إِلَى الآنَ. وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَعْمَلُ!»But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18لِهَذَا ازْدَادَ سَعْيُ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ، لَيْسَ فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ خَالَفَ سُنَّةَ السَّبْتِ، بَلْ أَيْضاً لأَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَبُوهُ، مُسَاوِياً نَفْسَهُ بِاللهِ.Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

19فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الاِبْنَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَرَى الآبَ يَفْعَلُهُ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ الآبُ، يَعْمَلُهُ الاِبْنُ كَذلِكَ،So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

20لأَنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّ الاِبْنَ، وَيُرِيهِ جَمِيعَ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ، وَسَيُرِيهِ أَيْضاً أَعْمَالاً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَمَلِ، فَتُدْهَشُونَ.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21فَكَمَا يُقِيمُ الآبُ الْمَوْتَى وَيُحْيِيهِمْ، كَذلِكَ يُحْيِي الاِبْنُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22وَالآبُ لَا يُحَاكِمُ أَحَداً، بَلْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ سُلْطَةَ الْقَضَاءِ كُلَّهَا،Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23لِيُكْرِمَ الْجَمِيعُ الاِبْنَ كَمَا يُكْرِمُونَ الآبَ. وَمَنْ لَا يُكْرِمِ الاِبْنَ لَا يُكْرِمِ الآبَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

24الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعْ كَلامِي وَيُؤْمِنْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي تَكُنْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، وَلا يُحَاكَمْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ.Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

25الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا الأَمْوَاتُ صَوْتَ ابْنِ اللهِ سَتَأْتِي بَلْ هِيَ الآنَ وَالَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَهُ يَحْيَوْنَ.Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

26لأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ لِلآبِ حَيَاةً فِي ذَاتِهِ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ،For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27وَأَعْطَاهُ سُلْطَةً أَنْ يَدِينَ، لأَنَّهُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28لَا تَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ هَذَا: فَسَوْفَ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا جَمِيعُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ صَوْتَهُ،Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا: فَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ فَفِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الدَّيْنُونَةِ.and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30وَأَنَا لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَاتِي، بَلْ أَحْكُمُ حَسْبَمَا أَسْمَعُ، وَحُكْمِي عَادِلٌ، لأَنِّي لَا أَسْعَى لِتَحْقِيقِ إِرَادَتِي بَلْ إِرَادَةِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

31لَوْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، لَكَانَتْ شَهَادَتِي غَيْرَ صَادِقَةٍ،If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32وَلكِنْ غَيْرِي يَشْهَدُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ لِي هِيَ حَقٌّ.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُمْ رُسُلاً إِلَى يُوحَنَّا فَشَهِدَ لِلْحَقِّ.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34وَأَنَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لَا لأَنِّي أَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَلاصِكُمْ،Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35فَقَدْ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا مِصْبَاحاً مُتَوَهِّجاً مُضِيئاً، وَشِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِنُورِهِ فَتْرَةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36وَلكِنَّ لِي شَهَادَةً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ يُوحَنَّا، وَهِيَ شَهَادَةُ الأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي كَلَّفَنِي الآبُ أَنْ أُنْجِزَهَا وَالَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا، فَهِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي مُبَيِّنَةً أَنَّ الآبَ أَرْسَلَنِي،But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

37وَالآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضاً يَشْهَدُ لِي. وَأَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ قَطُّ، وَلا رَأَيْتُمْ هَيْئَتَهُ،And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38وَلا ثَبَتَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، بِدَلِيلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39أَنْتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ الْكُتُبَ لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْتَقِدُونَ أَنَّهَا سَتَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. هذِهِ الْكُتُبُ تَشْهَدُ لِي،You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40وَلكِنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أَنْ تَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ مَجْداً مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّاسِ.I do not accept glory from men,

42وَلكِنِّي أَعْرِفُكُمْ، وَأَعْرِفُ أَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43فَقَدْ جِئْتُ بِاسْمِ أَبِي وَلَمْ تَقْبَلُونِي، وَلكِنَّكُمْ تُرَحِّبُونَ بِمَنْ يَجِيءُ بِاسْمِ نَفْسِهِ.I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ الْمَجْدَ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، دُونَ أَنْ تَسْعَوْا فِي طَلَبِ الْمَجْدِ الَّذِي لَا يَمْنَحُهُ إِلّا اللهُ!How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي أَشْكُوكُمْ إِلَى الآبِ، فَإِنَّ هُنَالِكَ مَنْ يَشْكُوكُمْ، وَهُوَ مُوسَى الَّذِي عَلَّقْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَجَاءَكُمْ.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمْ مُوسَى، لَكُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمُونِي، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ كَتَبَ عَنِّي.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47وَإذَا كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ مَا كَتَبَهُ مُوسَى، فَكَيْفَ تُصَدِّقُونَ كَلامِي؟»But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
