John 5 (HAT) · Opened

1Apre sa, jwif yo te gen yon fèt nan tanp lan. Jezi moute Jerizalèm.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Nan lavil la, bò Pòtay Mouton yo, te gen yon gwo basen dlo yo te rele nan lang ebre: Betzata. Te gen senk pòt ki te bay sou li.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3Devan pòt yo, te gen anpil moun ki te gen tout kalite maladi kouche la: gen sa ki te avèg, gen sa ki t'ap bwete, gen sa ki te paralize. Yo tout yo t'ap tann lè dlo a pran bouyi.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4Paske, tanzantan, yon zanj Bondye te desann nan basen an vin brase dlo a. Premye moun malad ki te desann nan dlo a apre zanj lan te fin brase l' la te geri, nenpòt ki maladi li te genyen.Not in the BSB

5Te gen yon nonm la ki te malad depi trantwitan.One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6Jezi wè l' kouche. Li vin konnen li te malad depi tout tan sa a. Li mande li: Eske ou vle geri?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?”

7Malad la reponn li: Mèt, mwen pa gen pesonn pou mete m' nan basen an lè dlo a ap bouyi. Lè mwen fè sa pou m' ale, yon lòt gen tan desann anvan mwen.“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.”

8Jezi di li: Leve non. Pran nat ou, mache ou ale.Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9Menm lè a, nonm lan geri. Li ranmase nat li, li pran mache. Men, jou sa fèt la se te yon jou repo.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10Jwif yo di nonm ki te geri a: Jòdi a se jou repo. Lalwa nou an pa pèmèt pou w'ap pote nat ou jòdi a.so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11Li reponn yo: Se moun ki geri m' lan wi ki di m' ranmase nat mwen, mache m' ale.But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12Lè sa a, yo mande li: Kilès sa a ki di ou ranmase nat ou, mache ou ale a?“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13Men, nonm ki te geri a pa t' konnen ki moun li te ye, paske te sitèlman gen moun la, Jezi te gen tan pati al fè wout li.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14Pita, Jezi kontre nonm lan nan tanp lan. Li di li konsa: Koute non. Koulye a ou wè ou geri, pa fè peche, tande, pou bagay pi mal pa rive ou.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.”

15Nonm lan al di jwif yo se Jezi ki te geri li.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16Se poutèt sa jwif yo tanmen pèsekite Jezi paske li te fè sa yon jou repo.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Men, Jezi reponn yo: Se tout tan Papa m' ap travay. Mwen menm tou, m'ap travay.But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18Poutèt pawòl sa a, jwif yo t'ap chache pi rèd atò pou yo te touye l'. Li pa t' sèlman fè bagay ki kont lalwa repo a, men li te di yo Bondye se papa li. Lè l' di sa, li te fè tèt li pase pou menm moun ak Bondye.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.

19Lè sa a, Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Pitit Bondye a pa fè anyen pou kò li. Sa l' wè Papa a fè, se sa l' fè tou. Tou sa Papa a ap fè, Pitit la fè l' tou.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.

20Papa a renmen Pitit la, li moutre l' tou sa li menm l'ap fè. Li gen pou l' moutre l' fè bagay ki pi estwòdenè pase sa. Lè sa a, nou p'ap manke sezi.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21Papa a fè moun mouri leve, li ba yo lavi ankò. Konsa tou, Pitit la bay moun li vle lavi.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22Papa a pa jije pesonn, men li bay Pitit la tout pouvwa pou jije.Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23Konsa, tout moun va gen respè pou Pitit la, menm jan yo gen respè pou Papa a. Moun ki pa respekte Pitit la, li pa gen respè pou Papa ki voye l' la non plis.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.

24Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Yon moun ki koute pawòl mwen, ki mete konfyans nan moun ki voye m' lan, l'ap gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Yo p'ap kondannen li. Li deja soti nan lanmò, li antre nan lavi.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.

25Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Lè a ap rive, li rive deja: moun mouri yo pral tande vwa Pitit Bondye a. Tout moun mouri ki va tande vwa sa a pral gen lavi.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.

26Papa a gen pouvwa pou l' bay lavi. Konsa tou, li bay Pitit la pouvwa pou bay lavi tou.For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27Li bay Pitit la otorite pou jije, paske Pitit la, se Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28Nou pa bezwen sezi. Lè a pral rive: tout mò ki nan tonm pral tande vwa li,Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29yo pral leve soti vivan nan tonm yo. Moun ki fè sa ki byen pral leve pou resevwa lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Men, tout moun ki fè sa ki mal pral leve pou resevwa kondannasyon yo.and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30Mwen pa kapab fè anyen pou kò mwen. M'ap jije dapre sa Bondye di mwen. Jijman mwen bon paske sa m'ap chache fè a se pa sa m' vle, men sa moun ki voye m' lan vle.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.

31Si m' pale tèt mwen byen, moun pa ka asepte sa m'ap di a pou verite.If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32Men, se yon lòt k'ap pale byen sou mwen. Mwen konnen sa l'ap di sou mwen an, se verite.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33Nou te voye moun bò kot Jan. Li te di nou verite a jan l' ye a.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34Mwen menm poutèt pa m', mwen pa bezwen pesonn pale pou mwen. Men, mwen di nou sa pou nou kapab sove.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35Jan te tankou yon lanp yo limen ki klere byen bèl. Pou yon tan, nou te byen kontan pwofite limyè li a.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36Men, pou mwen menm, mwen gen yon lòt bagay ki pale an favè m' ki pi bon toujou pase sa Jan te di sou mwen an. Se travay m'ap fè a, travay Papa m' ban m' fè a ki pale pou mwen. Sa fè wè se Papa a ki voye mwen.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.

37Papa ki voye m' lan, li menm tou l'ap pale an favè mwen. Nou pa janm tande vwa l', ni nou pa janm wè figi li.And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38Nou pa kenbe pawòl li yo nan kè nou, paske nou pa kwè nan moun li voye a.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39N'ap plede etidye sa ki ekri nan Liv la, paske nou mete nan tèt nou nou ka jwenn lavi ki pa janm fini an ladan li. Men, se Liv sa a menm ki pale sou mwen.You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40Malgre sa, nou pa vle vin jwenn mwen pou nou ka gen lavi tout bon an.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41Mwen p'ap chache lwanj nan men lèzòm.I do not accept glory from men,

42Men, mwen konnen ki moun nou ye: nou pa gen renmen pou Bondye nan kè nou.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43Se Papa m' ki voye mwen. Men, nou pa vle resevwa mwen. Men, kite yon lòt moun vin pou kont li, n'ap resevwa li.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.

44Nou renmen resevwa lwanj yonn nan men lòt, nou pa chache lwanj ki soti nan men Bondye ki pa gen parèy la. Nan kondisyon sa a, ki jan pou nou kwè?How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45Pa mete nan tèt nou mwen pral akize nou devan Papa mwen. Se Moyiz ki pral akize nou, Moyiz nou di ki tout espwa nou an.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46Si nou te kwè tout bon nan Moyiz, nou ta kwè nan mwen tou, paske li ekri sou mwen tou.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47Men, nou pa kwè nan sa l' te ekri a. Ki jan pou n' ta fè kwè sa m'ap di nou an?But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
