John 5 (DNE) · Opened

1Pughajhomokila gheniya, Yecho ajhakuhobhoka ku Yeluchalemo ku unyagho ghonge gwa Akayahude.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Na kwenio ku Yeluchalemo pahina na litangala likolongwa lilikemwa Nnyango gwa Limbelele, pakibha na litanda lilikemwita kwa Kiebulaniya Bethichata pahina na litanda pakibha na udamo nhwano.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3Bhando bhamahele bhakibha muudamo bhibhalwalwa, na bhangalola, na bhibhalemile na bhibhatengwike.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4Bhando bhubhalendila mache ghatimbughanwe, nhwalo ntumiche jwa kunane kwa Chapanga ahikita kutimbughana mache. Jwalwalwa jhojhoha jwalongolela kutumbukila mu mache ghughatimbughinwe, alamita ulwalo ghoghoha gwabhii nako.Not in the BSB

5Bhahe, peniya pakibha na mundo jhumo jwakibha alwalwita ulwalo gwa kutenguka kwa yaka makome matato na nane.One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6Yecho pammonita jwalwalwa jwenio agholwike peniya, akamanye akibha alwalwita kwa machiko ghamahele, peniya ajhakunkonya jwalwalwa jhola, “Bho, mwipala kulama?”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?”

7Jwalwalwa jhola ajhakunnyanguu, “Bhambo, nenga ngwete ndeka mundo jwakunyingii mu litanda pubhatimbukana mache. Kila punijhigha kutumbukila, mundo jhonge alongalile.”“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.”

8Peniya Yecho ajhakunnobholela, “Jhema, tola mpacha gwino, nnyende.”Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9Papa peniya mundo jhola ajhakulama, ajhakutola mpacha gwake nu kujhenda. Kilebhe chenje kitendika Lichiko lya Kupomolela lya Akayahude.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10Nhwalo gwenio Akakolo bha Akayahude bhajhakunnobholela mundo jwalamichwe jhola, “Deleno Lichiko lya Kupomolela, lilaghalikilo likanakiya kutola mpacha gwino.”so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11Nambo mundo jwenio ajhakwajhanguu, “Mundo jwanamiche jhola ndi jwannobholila, ‘Tola mpacha gwino na nnyende.’ ”But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12Bhahe, bhajhakunkonya, “Bho, ndi mundo ghane jwanobholile mwenga ntole mpacha gwino nnyende?”“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13Nambo mundo jhola jwalamichwe akahumanyi jhe Yecho akibha ghane, nhwalo bhando bhakibha bhamahele na Yecho akabhokite mandahe.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14Pighapetita gheniya, Yecho ajhakummona jhola jwanamiche pa Nyumba jha Chapanga, ajhakunnobholela, “Jhokanikiya, ngoheno nnamite. Nkotoka kubhujhila kuhenga uhakaho kabhele, anda ntehi uhakaho nakipambalakana kilebhe kibhoho kupeta cheneche.”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.”

15Peniya mundo jhola ajhakujhenda kwalobholela ilongoche ya Akayahude kubhehe Yecho ndi jwanamiche.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16Nhwalo Yecho akahengite kilebhe chenie Lichiko lya Kupomolela, Akayahude bhajhakutumbula kunchimwa.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Bhahe, Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Tate gwango ahenga mahengo machiko ghoha na nenga helahela imbala henga.”But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18Kwa nhwalo gwa malobhe gheniya, ilongoche ya Akayahude bhapaliya ndela bhankome Yecho, chi kwa nhwalo akalipuchite Lilaghalikilo lya Lichiko lya Kupomolela tugha, nambo nhwalo akankemite Chapanga ndi Tate mundo, na ajhakukiwananicha alandine na Chapanga.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.

19Yecho ajhakwalobholela, “Ninnobholela chakaka, Mwana ihoto ndeka kuhenga kilebhe chochoha kanjika chake, Mwana ihotola kuhenga chela chamwona Tate mundo akihenga, nhwalo chahenga Tate, helahela Mwana ihenga.”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.

20Nhwalo Tate impala Mwana, na unangiya kila kilebhe chahenga jwenio. Peniya nanangiya ilebhe ikolongwa kupeta henge, na mangota nankangacha.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21Ngita Tate chabhayoha bhubhawile na kwapela ughome, helahela Mwana abhapela ughome bhando bhabhapahile.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22Na kabhele Tate ahuadabu jhe mundo jhojhoha, nambo ampela Mwana ukindendeke gwa kwahadabuu bhando bhoha,Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23kupala bhando bhoha bhanyokanikiye Mwana ngita chibhanyokanikiya Tate. Mundo jhojhoha jwakana kunyokanikiya Mwana, ankana Tate jwandumita.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“Ninnobholela chakaka, jwajhoha lilobhe lyango, na kunyeketela jhola jwandumita, abhii na ughome gwa machiko ghoha. Na jwenio nahadabulwa ndeka nhwalo ajhombwike kuhumii mu kuwegha na kujhingii muughome.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.

25Ninnobholela chakaka, lichiko libhii kuhika, na ngoheno lihikite, bhando bhubhawile nabhalijhoha lilobhe lya Mwana gwa Chapanga, na bhala bhubhapala kujhoha nabhabha na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta.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.

26Ngita Tate chabhii lihembuko lya ughome, helahela anteii Mwana mundo lihembuko lya ughome.For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27Kabhele ampekiye ukindendeke gwa kuhadabula nhwalo jwenio Mwana gwa Mundo.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28Nkotoka kukangacha kwa malobhe ghanga, nhwalo lichiko libhii kuhika bhubhawile bhoha bhubhabhii mu mambe nabhajhoha lilobhe lyake,Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29nabhayoka kuhumii mu mambe yabhe, bhala bhubhatehi ghambone na kubhehe na ughome, nambo bhala bhubhatei uhakaho nabhayoka na kuhadabulwa.and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30“Nenga nihoto ndeka kuhenga lihengo kwa uhotolo gwango namwete. Nihadabula ngita chinaghalikiwe kuhumii kwa Tate, nihadabuu chakaka. Nhwalo nihenga ndeka chinipala, nihenga chela chapala jwandumita.”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.

31Punikilobholela malobhe ghango namwete, malobhe ghango ndi ghuwange.If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32Nambo abhii jhonge jwalongela malobhe panane jhango, nimanya kila kilebhe chalongela ndi chakaka.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33Mangota mwenga makatumite bhando bhajhende kwa Yohane Mbatichajhe, na malobhe ghango ghalongila ndi gha chakaka.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34Nipala ndeka mundo jhonge alongela panane jhango, nambo nilonge ghanga nipala mangota mwenga nghombokoke.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35Yohane akibha ngita kolobohi jhijhaka na kulangala ndaa, na mangota mkahagwile machiko ghandina gha kuhanganila.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36Nambo nenga namwete malobhe ghighanjimulila makolongwa kupeta ghala gha Yohane. Nhwalo lihengo limbekiwe na Tate nijhomole lihengo linihenga, ndi inangiya hotuhotu Tate jwandumite.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.

37Tate jwandumita helahela ulongela malobhe ghango. Mukajhohine jhe lilobhe lyake amu kummona pamiho jhake chipabhii,And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38na malobhe ghake ghatama jhe nkate jhino, nhwalo mukanyeketii ndeka jhola jwandumita.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39Mangota mughachoma hake Majhandiko gha Chapanga pimihambuka nkate jhake napata ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta, kone Majhandiko gheniya gha Chapanga ndi ghighalonge malobhe ghango!You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40Nambo mangota mipala jhe kuhika kwa nenga mme na ughome gwa machiko ghoha ghangapeta.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41“Nenga nipala ndeka bhando bhangweya.I do not accept glory from men,

42Nambo nimmanya mangota, nkwete jhe upalo gwa Chapanga kumiojho jhino.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43Nenga ihikite kwa ukindendeke gwa Tate gwango mingana kumbokela, nambo mundo jhonge anda ahikite kwa ukindendeke gwake jwenio, namupokela.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.

44Bhole, nahotola kunyeketela kone mangota mipala kukikweya mabhene, nambo mwikana kupokela chipwa kuhumii kwa Chapanga jwenio?How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45Nkotoka kuwachila nenga nanipyambanikiya kwa Tate. Mucha jhumuhobholela mangota ndi jhojho natakalila.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46Anda chakaka ngamunyeketela Mucha, ngaunyeketile na nenga hele, nhwalo Mucha akajhandike malobhe panane jhango.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47Nambo anda mughajheketela ndeka ghala ghighajhandikwe na Mucha, nanhotola bhole kughajheketela malobhe ghango?”But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
