John 5 (MPA) · Opened

1Paghapetiki ghanihagha kukabhi na uwangalalu ghongi wa Bhayahude, najombi Yesu akakweliki kujenda ku Yelusalemu.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Na ku Yelusalemu hoku pundyangu ukolongwa wa muchi ghoulowakeka Ndyangu wa Limbeleli, pambipi jaki pakabhi na litanda la machi lelilowakeka kwa Kiebulania Betizata, nalombi lakabhi na mabalaza nhwanu.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3Mkati ja mabalaza hagha kukabhi na lipogha likolongwa la bhatamwa bhaghonile, akangalola, iwete, na bhabhatengwike, bhakabhi bhalendalela machi ghakilabhanwaje.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4Kwa ndandi kubhi chikahi cheahele mtumika wa kunani kwaka Chapanga, na kujingi mkati ja machi, na kughakilabhana machi. Bhela jola joakubha wa kutumbula kujibhila chikahi machi paghakilabhanwa, alama chitamu chokapi cheakabhi apatike.Not in the BSB

5Na panihapa pakabhi na mundu jumu, joakabhi atengwike kwa hyaka selasini na nane.One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6Yesu paakumbweni jonihoju aghonile, najombi akamanya kubha jombi abhi mtamwa na hali jeniheji kwa chikahi chilachu, akundalukile, “Bho, upala 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?”

7Mtamwa jola akamuyangiki, “Bambo, nepani ngachemi na mundu wa kumbeleka mulitanda, machi paghakilabhanwa, nambu chikahi panhika nepani, mundu jongi ajingila mangani jangu.”“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 akumpwaghile, “Jemaje, utola uleli waku, na ujendaje.”Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9Palapala mundu jola akalamike, na akalitwekiki uleli waki, na kujenda. Na lichobha leniheli lakabhi Lichobha la Sabato.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10Kwa ndandi jeniheji Bhayahude bhakumpwaghi mundu joakalamishwi jola, “Lalenu nde Lichobha la Sabato, shelia jikanakila kutotola uleli waku.”so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11Jombi akabhayangike, “Jombi joandendiki mya mwomi nde joambwaghile, ‘Utola uleli waku, na ujendaje.’ ”But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12Bhela bhakundalukile, “Bho, joakupwaghi wehapa ulitweka uleli waku, na ujendaje, nde nane?”“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13Nambu mundu joakalamiki jola ngacheamanyiki joandamihe, ndandi Yesu akabhi ajomwi kubhoka, kwa ndandi pakabhi na bhandu bhamaheli pandu panipala.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14Paghapetiki ghanihagha Yesu akunketanili mundu jola joakundamihe mkati ja Nyumba jaka Chapanga, akumpwaghile, “Ulingalyaje, ubhi wa mwomi, ngawihenga mahoku kabhete, ngalihika kukupata lijambu lihakau nakanopi.”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.”

15Mundu jola akapiti, akabhapwaghi malobhi bhakolongwa bha Bhayahude kubha Yesu nde joandamihe.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16Kwa ndandi jeniheji Bhayahude bhakatumbwi kung'aha Yesu, kwa ndandi akahengiki mambu ghanihagha mu Lichobha la Sabato.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Yesu akabhayangiki, “Atati wangu ahenga lihengu mbaka sajenu, na nepani bhelabhela nhenga lihengu.”But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18Bhela kwa ndandi jeniheji bhakolongwa bha Bhayahude bhakajendali kulonda mbekenyu ja kunkoma, nga kwa ndandi akahekiti shelia ja Lichobha la Sabato pela, nambu papamu na ghanihagha akundohiki Chapanga Atati waki, na bhela kulitenda jombi alengana 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.

19Bhela Yesu akabhayangiki, na kubhapwaghila, “Chakaka, numpwaghila, Mwana ngacheaweza kuhenga lijambu lokapi lela kanjika jaki, nambu ahenga lijambu lela leambona Atati waki akahengaje, kwa ndandi ghokapi ghaahenga Atati, na Mwana najombi aghahenga ghaghagha.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.

20Kwa ndandi Atati ampala Mwana, najombi andangiha ghokapi ghaahenga mweni. Hata mahengu makolongwa nakanopi kupeta ghanihagha anaandangihaje, nahuli mwehapa mpata kukangacha.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21Ndandi ngati Atati moabhayoke bhakuwa na kubhapeke womi kabhete, bhelabhela na Mwana najombi abhapekeha womi bhala bhaabhapala.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22Kabheti Atati ngacheantemu mundu jokapi, nambu ampeki Mwana lihengu la kubhatemula bhandu bhokapi,Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23nahuli bhandu bhokapi bhuntopila Mwana, ngati mobhuntopale Atati. Jokapi jwangakuntopela Mwana ngacheantopela Atati joantumike.”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.

24Chakaka, numpwaghila, “Jombi joalijowana lilobhi langu na kunhobhalela jola joandumike abhi na womi wa mileli. Na wala ngaitemuliwe, nambu apetiki kuhuma mu kupotela na kujingila mu womi.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.

25Chakaka, numpwaghila, lisaa lihika, na sajenu libhile, bhakuwa pabhijowanaje sauti jaka Mwana waka Chapanga, na bhala bhabhijowanaje anabhakubha bhome.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.

26Ndandi ngati bhela Atati moabheli na womi mkati jaki, bhelabhela akumpeki na Mwana uwezu wa kubha na womi mkati jaki.For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27Na jombi akumpeki lujiniku lwa kutemula kwa ndandi jombi nde Mwana waka Mundu.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28Ngamwikangacha malobhi ghanihagha, kwa ndandi lisaa lihika, ambalu bhokapi bhabhabhi mumatengeli anabhajowanaje sauti jaki.Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29Na bhombi anabhayokaje, bhala bhabhatehi manyahi kwa uyohakeku wa womi, na bhala bhabhatehi mahakau kwa uyohakeku wa utemulo.”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“Nepani ngachenhweza kuhenga lihengu namwete, ngati monyowanela kuhuma kwa Atati bhenibhela nde mondemulila, na utemulu wangu nde wa chakaka, kwa ndandi ngachenonda kuhenga ngati mombali nepane, nambu ngati moapali jola joandumike.”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.

31Nepani ngati ananililandi namwete, ulilandilu wangu nga wa chakaka.If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32Abhi jongi joanandila nepani, nanatu manyi kubha ulandilu waki ghoanandila nepani nde wa chakaka.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33Mabhanganya mkabhatumiki bhandu kwaka Yohana Mbatizaji, najombi akundandili chakaka.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34Nepani nga ngati nujopalela ulandilu wa bhandu, nambu nongela mambu aghagha nahuli mwehapa mpata kukengalewa.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35Yohana akabhi ngati taa jejibhelela na kung'anya, nanamu mkahawi kuuhekalela unang'anu waki kwa chikahi.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36Nambu ulandilu ghominaku nepani nde ukolongwa kupeta ghola waka Yohana, kwa ndandi mahengu ghala ghaambeki Atati nahuli naghajomulaje, mahengu ghanihagha ghanaghahenga, ghanandila kubha Atati nde joandumike.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.

37Atati joandumike bhelabhela anandila. Sauti jaki ngachemujijowine chikahi chokapi, wala ngachemumbweni pamihu jaki.And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38Wala lilobhi laki ngachembinalu likatama mkati jinu, kwa ndandi mabhanganya ngachemunhobhalela jola joatumakiki na jombe.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39Mughachunguzaje Malembelu Mahuhu, maghambu kwa ghanihagha mwehapa muholakela kubha mkati jaki mbi na womi wa mileli, na Malembu ghanihagha nde ghaghanandila nepane.You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40Wala ngachempala kuhika kwangu nepane, nahuli mpata kubha na womi wa mileli.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41“Nepani ngachenulonda ulumbalilu kuhuma kwa bhandu.I do not accept glory from men,

42Nambu nummanyiki mabhanganya kubha ngachembi na upalu waka Chapanga mkati ja mitima jinu.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43Nepani nhikiki kwa lujiniku lwa Atati wangu, wala mabhanganya ngachemnyopalela, jongi anahikiki kwa lihina laki mwene, anamunjopalya jonihoju.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.

44Bho, muweza bhole kuhobhalela mabhanganya mwenjopalanela ulumbalilu mabheni kwa mabheni, na ulumbalilu ghola ghouhuma kwaka Chapanga joabhi wa kanjika ngachemulonda?How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45Ngamwiholake nepani ananuntakila kwa Atati. Musa jomunhobhalela mabhanganya nde joantakila.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46Kwa ndandi ngati mkabhili munhobhalela Musa, mkabya mnihobhalili na nepane, maghambu Musa akalembiki malobhi ghangu nepane.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47Nambu ngati ngachemughahobhalela malembu ghaka Musa, bho, anamughahobhalya bhole mabholu ghangu nepane?”But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
