John 5 (BOU) · Opened

1Yekwembokaho ayo, Yesu akaita Yelusalemu kwe sikukhuu ya Wayahudi.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Uko Yelusalemu, hehi na uvi wetangwao uvi wa ngoto, nehawa na tondoo da mazi detangwado kwa kiebulania Betisaza ambado nee dizunguukwa na mabaaza mashano.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3Aho nehawa na watamu wangi wekaa, matuntu, na wesao kudaha kwenda, na wekuhooawo. Newawa wakagoja mazi yatibulwe.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4Kwaviya mndima wa uwanga wa Muungu kuna kisingi aseeya na kuyavuuga mazi mwe tindiziwa ido, mtamu yoyose avokae kwengia mwe mazi aho mazi yakatibulwa, ahona utamu wakwe wowose ekuwao nao.Not in the BSB

5Aho, hana mgosi mwekuwa mtamu kwa kisingi cha myaka makumi matatu na minane.One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6Yesu ekumuonaho kagona aho na kumanya kuwa kawa mtamu kwa misi mingi, akamwamba, “Ivi, wakunda kuhona?”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?”

7Yuda mtamu akamtambaisa, “Zumbe khina mntu wa kunegaa mwe tondoo da mazi kisingi yakatibulwa, kia nikageeza kwengia mntu mtuhu aniongweeya.”“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.”

8Yesu akamwamba “Gooka, na doa javi dako wende.”Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9Vuupuu uyo mntu akahona, akadoa javi dakwe. Akavoka kwenda, mbui inu igosoka Msi wa Kuhumwiiza.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10Wamwe wa waongoezi wa Wayahudi wakamwamba yuda mwe kuhonywa, “Ivyeeo ni Msi wa Kuhumwiiza kwa miko yetu khukundigwa wenue javi dako.”so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11Yee akawatambaisa, “Yuda mntu mwekunihonya nee mwekunamba udoe javi dako wende.”But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12Nawo wakamuuza, “Uyo mntu mwekukwamba udoe javi dako wende ni ndai?”“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13Iya yuda mntu khekummanya mntu mwekumhonya, Yesu nee kahauka kae hantu hada, kwaajii nee hana zumwezumwe kuu da wantu.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14Naho bada ya ayo, Yesu akambwiiya yuda mntu mwekumhonya mwe Nyumba ya Muungu akamwamba, “Isasa kuhona, wesekugosoa mavigaviga vituhu, usekweza kubwiiwa ni mbui fyaimi muno.”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.”

15Yuda mntu akaita, akawamba wakuu wa Kiyahudi, Yesu nee mwekunihonya.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16Kwaviya Yesu ida mbui kaigosoa Msi wa Kuhumwiiza, Wayahudi wakavoka kumkefyakefya Yesu.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Yesu akawamba, “Tate yangu agosoa ndima misi yose, na miye nagosoa ndima kwesiho kueka.”But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18Kwa mbui izi waongoezi wa Kiyahudi wakoondeza sia ya kumkoma Yesu, khio kwaviya kabananga miko ya Msi wa Kuhumwiiza du, akini kamba Muungu ni Tati yakwe ivyo ketenda aigana na Muungu.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.

19Yesu akawamba, “Kwei nawamba, Mwana khadaha kugosoa kintu ikedu, adaha kugosoa kia amuonacho Tate agosoacho, kwaviya agosoacho Tate, Mwana nae akigosoa viyaviya.”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.

20Kwaviya Tate amkundisa Mwana, na kumuonyesha kia kintu agosoacho mwenye. Naho endaamuonyeshe mbui khuu kusima izi, nanywi mwendamhondomae.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21Inga viya Tate ayuyusavyo wekuuyao na nyuma, na kuwekha ugima, ivyoivyo Mwana naye awekha ugima wada awakundisao.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22Tate khamuamuiiya mntu yoyose, iya kamtenda mwana awaamwiiye wantu wose.Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23Ili wantu wamtegeeze Mwana inga wamtegeezavyo Tate, yoyose esaekumtegeeza Mwana khamtegeeza Tate wekumwaagiiaye Mwana.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.

24“Nawamba kwei, wada wategeezao mbui zangu na kumzumiia yuda mwekuniagiiya wana ugima wa misi yose kwesiho kisiikizi, khana aamuiiwe katu, kwaviya wavota kae ufe na kwengia mwe ugima misi yose kwesiho kisiikizi.”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.

25Nawamba kwei, kisingi cheza, naho kibuwa kae, na wada wekuwao hae na Muungu, wenda wategeeze mgutio wa Mwana wa Muungu, awo wenda wahokee ugima wa misi yose kwesiho kisiikizi.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.

26Inga viya Tate awekhavyo wantu ugima, viyaviya kamtenda Mwana awekhe wantu ugima wa misi yose kwesiho kisiikizi.For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27Naho kamwekha Mwana udaho wa kuamuiiya, kwaviya ni Mwana wa Mntu.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28Msekuhondomaa kwaajii ya mbui inu, kisingi cheza ambacho wose wekuuyao na nyuma wenda wategeeze mgutio ambao wose wekuwao mwe mambiya.Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29Nawo wendawalawe mwe mambiya wada wekugosoao matana, wenda wayuyuke na kwekaa, wada wekugosoao yesayokutama wenda wayuyuswe na kuamuiiwa.and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30Yesu akaendeea kugombeka, “Khidaha kugosoa kintu kwa udaho wangu mwenye, miye neamuiiya inga nitegeezavyo kulawa kwa Tate na uwo wedi wangu ni wa kwei, kwaviya khigosoa nikundavyo mwenye, iya akundavyo yuda mwekuniagiiya.”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.

31“Inga nawagombeka nywie mbui zangu mwenye, naho yada nigombekayo khamyavuhuzia kuwa ni ya kwei.If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32Akini hana mntu mtuhu avuhuziae mbui zangu kwenu, na namanya agombeka kwei.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33Nywie nee muagiiya wantu kwa Yohana wamuuze mbui zangu, nae akawavuhuzia ni kwei.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34Khio inga nakauwiiya wantu wanivuhuzie, akini nayagombeka aya ili mdahe kuoholwa.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35Yohana nee kawa inga taa yekuwayo ikaka na kulavya ung'azi, nanywi muwa na nyemi na ung'azi uwo kwa kisingi kijihi.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36Akini kuna mbui khuu muno iyonyeshayo miye ni ndai kusima yada ekugombekayo Yohana mbatiiza. Mbui yenye ni zia ndima ekunekhazo Tate nizigosoe, ayo yose yanivuhuzia miye ni ndai na yaonyesha Tate nee mwekuniagiiya.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.

37Naye tate mwekuniagiiya kanivuhuzia miye ni ndai, akini khamzati kutegeeza mgutio wakwe, naho kumwona yee eivyo,And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38na mbui yakwe khayekwekaa mwe mioyo yenu, kwaviya khamwekumzumiiya yuda mwekumuagiiya.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39Nywie mwayasunguumanya muno Maandiko ya Muungu kwaviya mwamamaakhanya mwe ayo mwendampate ugima wa misi yose kwesiho kisiikizi, na Maandiko ayo yanivuhuzia miye!You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40Ata ivyo khamkunda kweza kwangu ili mhokee ugima.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41“Miye khiondeza kutunywa na wantu.I do not accept glory from men,

42Akini nawamanya nywie ni wantu wa namna yani, na viyaviya khamna ukundiso wa Muungu mwe mioyo yenu.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43Miye ncheza kwa udaho wa Tate, akini khamnihokea, akini akeza mntu mtuhu kwa udaho wakwe mwenye, mwenda mumhokee.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.

44Mwakunda kuhokea ntunyo kulawa kwenu nywie wenye, akini khamkunda kuhokea ntunyo kulawa kwa Muungu mwenye, kwaajii iyo mwadaha viivihi kunizumiiya?How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45Akini wesekufanyanya kuwa miye nenendae niwaahie masa kwa Tate, Musa ambae mwamkauwiya neendae awaahie masa.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46Ati kwei nee mkamzumiiya Musa, nee mkanizumiiya na miye, kwaviya Musa kaandika mbui zangu.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47Akini kwaviya khamyazumiiya yada ekuyaandikayo Musa, mwadaha viivihi kuzumiia kiya nigombekacho?”But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
