John 5 (REG) · Opened

1Gwejire ogwo gwabha gwabheyeyo amalya Gabhayaudi, naYesu nalinya okugenda Yerusalemu.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Na eyo Yerusalemu lyaliga liliyo litanga kumulyango gwajinama, linu lyaliga ditogwa munyaika ye Chiebrania Bethzatha, nalyo lili nebhuyumba bhitanu.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3Echise chinene cha bhalwaye chaliga chilimo abhaofu, abhalema, amwi nabhakomboleke bhaliga bhamamile mu chiyumba.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4Kulwejo, uliya aliga wo bhutangasi okwingila Munda ya manji gachali kufulungulwa akolele omuwanga okusoka ku chonachona chinu aliga chimugwatile kumwanya ogwo.Not in the BSB

5No munu umwi aliga alwaye kwo mwanya gwo myaka makuni gastu na munana aliga munda ye biyumba.One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6Yesu ejile amulola amamile munda ye bhiyumba ejile amenya ati amamile ao kwo mwanya mulela Yesu amubwiliye ati, “Mbe owenda okubhayana muwanga?”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?”

7Uliya omulwaye nasubya ati, “Lata bhugenyi ntali na munu wo kuntula mwitanga omwanya amanji agaseluka. Omwanya gunu enilegeja okwingila omunu oundi katangatila.”“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 namubwila ati, “Imuka na witwike ebhimamilo byao ulibhate.”Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9Ao nao uliya omunu nabha muwanga, na gega obhulili bwaye na libhata. No lusiku lwaliga olusiku lwa isabhato.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10Kutyo Abhaaudi nibhamubya uliya omunu unu aosibwe, “Lelo ni lusiku lwa Isabhato, na kuganyibwe okugega ebhimamilo Chao.”so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11Nasubya ati, omwene amwosha niwe ambwila, “Nugege echimamilo Chao na ulibhate.”But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12Nibhamubhusha, “Ni niga unu akubwila 'Ugege echimamilo chao na ulibhate?'”“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13Kubha oyo, aoleke atamumenyele kwokubha Yesu aliga asokeleyo kwa imbisike. Kwo kubha bhaliga bhanu bhafu olubhala olwo.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14Yesu namusanga uliya omunu mu yekalu na mwibwila ati, “Lola waolele! “Usige okukola bhibhi Lindi wasiga emisango mibhibhi 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.”

15Omunu uyo nagenda na nabhabwila Abhayaudi ati Yesu niwe anyiulisisheAnd the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16Kutyo kwo kubha ye misango ejo Abhayaudi nibhamunyasha Yes, kwo kubha akolele emisango jinu ku lusiku lwa isabhato.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Yesu namubwila ati, “Lata wani kakola emilimu nolwo woli nanye enikola emilimu.”But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18Kwo kubha Abhayaudi nibheyongesha okumulonda koleleki bhamwite ntali kwo kubha anyamuye isabhato, nawe kwo kumubhilikila Nyamuanga esemwene waye, nelinganya na Nyamuanga.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 namusubya ati, “Nichimali, chimali, Omwana atakutula okukola chinu chona chona atali chinu echo akolele kwi semwene waye bhinu kakola, kwo kubha chona chona Lata chinu akolele nicho no Omwana kaja okukola.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.

20Kwo kubha Lata endele omwanana kamwelesha bhuli chinu kakola na alimwelesha emisango eminene kukila jinu koleleki atimutang'ang'ale.”The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21Kwo kubha kutyo Lata kabhasulula abhafuye na bhayana obhuanga ni kwo kutyo Omwana ona kamuyana obhuanga wona wona unu Kamwenda.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22Kwo kubha Lata atakulamula wona wona, nawe ayaye omwana okulamula.Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23Koleleki omwana abhone echibhalo Omwana koleleki omwana bhamuyanile echibhalo Lata. Unu atakumuyana echibhalo omwana kamuyana echibhalo Lata unu antumile.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.

24Nichimali, Nichimali, unu kongwa omusango gwani no kumwikilisha unu antumile anabho obhuanga bwa kajanende atalija kuntambala. Kulwejo, alabhile okusoka mu kufwa no kwingila mu bhuanga.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.

25Nichimali, chimali, enibhabwila ati omwanya oguja na woli gulio abhafuye bhalyungwa lilaka lyo Mwana wa Nyamuanga, na bhona bhalyungwa bhalilama.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.

26Kwo kubha kutyo Lata ali no bhuanga munda yae omwene,For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27Kubha amuyaye Omwana kubha no bhuanga munda yae, na Lata amuyaye Omwana obhuinga koleleki alamule kwo kubha ni Mwana wo Munu.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28Mwasinga kutang'ang'ala na linu kwo kubha omwanya oguja bhanu bhafuye bhona bhalimo mufwa bhalyungwa lilaka lyaye.Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29Nabho bhanu bhalisoka anja: kubhanu bhakolanga ebye kisi bhalisulukila ku bhuanga, na bhanu bhakolanga echibhibhi bhalisulukila mu ntambalaand come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

30Nitakutula kukila chinu chona chona okusoka kwanye omwene. Alabha enungwa, nikwo kutyo enilamula no kulamula kwani kwimiliko kwo kubha nitakuyenja bhinu enenda anye, nawe unu antumile.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.

31Alabha nikebhambalila omwene, obhubhambasi bhani bhutabheye bha chimali.If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32Ali oundi oyo kebhambalila ku mwene nenimenya obhubhambasi bhunu kambalila ni bwe chimali.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33Mwatumile ku Yohana omwene nambambalila echimali.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34Nolwo kutyo, obhubhambasi obhoenilamila bhutakusoka kumwana munu. Enaika jinu koleleki mukisibwe.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35Yohana aliga ni itala eyo yaliga niyaka na kung'ala na mwaliga muli na likondelelwa kwo mwanya mutoto bwelu bwaye.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36Obhubhambasi bhunu nilinabwo no bhukulu kukila bhuliya obwa Yohana, ku milimu jinu Lata anaye okukumalisha, emilimu jinu enikola ejinyimako ejo kubambalila kubha Lata antumile.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.

37Lata unu antumile omwene kanyimako anye. Mchalinga kungwa obhulaka bwae nolwo kulola olususo lwae kumwanya gwona gwona.And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38Mutana misango gwae gunu gwikaye kwimwe kwo kubha mutakwilisha unu antumile.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39Omuyenja mu mandiko omwichula muda yeye muno bhuanga bwa kajanende, na ganu amandiko aganyimako emisango jani.You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40Mutakwenda kuja kwanye koleleki mubhone obhuanga bwa kajanende.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41Nitakulamila jikuma okusoka ku bhanu,I do not accept glory from men,

42Nawe nimenyele kubha mutali lyenda na Nyamuanga munda yemwe emwe abhenebut I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43Nijile kwa lisina lya Lata want, mutakutula kundamila. Alabha oundiakaja kwa lisina lyaye mukamulamiye.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.

44Mbe omutula kutiki okwikilisha emwe bhanu omuyabwa echibhalo okusoka ku bhuli umwi wemwe nawe mutakuyenja echibhalo chinu echisoka ku Nyamuanga oumwila?How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45Muteganilisha ati anye enibhabhula imbele ya Lata. Unu kabhabhula emwe no Musa unu emwe muteyeo ameikanyo gemwe kumwene.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46Alabha nimwikilisha Musa mwakanyikilisishe any kwo kubha anyandikiye emisango jani.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47Alabha mutakwikilisha olwandiko lwaye omutula kutiki okwikilisha emisango Jani?But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
