John 5 (SHR) · Opened

1Enyuma ly’ebyo, lwanacibà lusiku lukulu lw’Abayahudi, naye Yezu ayinamukira e Yeruzalemu.Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2Aha maziba g’ebibuzi, omu cishagala c’e Yeruzalemu, habà iriba liderhwa Betesta omu ciyahudi. Eryo iriba lijira mbaraza irhanu.Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

3Balwâla mwandu bakâg’igwishira mw’ezo mbaraza: emihûrha, abahinange n’abahozire enjingo bakâg’ilingûza oku amîshi gashabagana.On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

4Bulya liguma liguma malahika wa Nyakasane akâg’iyandagalira omu maziba n’okushabaganya amîshi. N’erhi amîshi gabaga gabirunduka, owarhangag’ikajamwo ye wanakag’ifuma endwâla yâge.Not in the BSB

5Hàli muntu muguma, erhi ali myâka makumi asharhu na munâni alwâla.One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

6Yezu anacimubona agwîshîre, erhi anamanyire oku emyâka ekola minji kurhenga ali ntyo. Amubwîra, erhi: «Ka walonza okufuma?»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?”

7Naye olya mulwâla, erhi: «Muhânyi, ntajira owakampira omu maziba nka amîshi gabirunduka; na nkaderha nti mmujâge, erhi mpahika, nnanshimâne owundi mîra antangaga».“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.”

8Yezu amubwîra, erhi: «Yimuka, oyanke encingo yâwe, ocîgendere».Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

9Olya mulume anacifuma oku ilindo liguma; ayanka encingo yâge, agenda. Ci olwo lusiku lwàli lwa Sabato.Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

10Abayahudi babwîra oyo muntu wâfumaga, mpu: «Ene lwa Sabato, orhankabarhula encingo yâwe».so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

11Naye abashuza, erhi: «Ci owanfumagya anambwîzire, erhi: Yanka encingo yâwe, ogende!»But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

12Bamudôsa, mpu: «Ye ndi oyo wakubwîraga, erhi: Yanka encingo yâwe, ogende?»“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

13Ci olya muntu wafumaga arhàli amumanyire, bulya Yezu àli amâzonga omu lubaga lwàli lulundumîne.But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

14Erhi kugera nsiku, Yezu amushimâna omu ka-Nyamuzinda; anacimubwîra, erhi: «W’oyu wafumire; irhondo orhacijiraga byâha, olek’ibà kubî kulusha okurhanzi».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.”

15Olya mulume anacigend’ibwîra Abayahudi oku Yezu ye wamufumagya.And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16Okwo kwarhuma Abayahudi barhondêra okuhîvulula Yezu mpu bulya akâg’ijira ntyo olwa Sabato.Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

17Ci Yezu yêhe abashuza, erhi: «Oku Larha adwîrhe akola erhi nâni kwo n’okwo».But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

18Okwo kwarhuma Abayahudi bakâlonza okumuyîrha, arhali okwenge akâg’ivuna olwa Sabato kwônene, ci bwenêne bulya akâg’iderha mpu Nyamuzinda ye Îshe n’okucîyumanyanya na Nnâmahanga.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.

19Yezu anacishuza, ababwîra, erhi: «Okuli, okuli, mmubwîre, Mugala wa Nnâmahanga arhankahash’ijira ebi arhabonaga Îshe ajira: ngasi byoshi Îshe ajira, n’Omugala kwo na kuguma abijira.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.

20“Bulya Nyamuzinda Îshe azigira Omugala, n’ebi ajira byoshi, anamuyêrekebyo; acinamuyêreka ebilushire ebyo, murhangâle”.The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

21“Nka oku Îshe afûla abafù anabahè obuzîne, kwo n’okwo Omugala naye abalonzize anabahè obuzîne”.For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

22“Bulya Îshe arhatwîra ndi lubanja: ci ngasi lubanja alulîkira Omugala”,Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

23“lyo abantu boshi bakenga Omugala, nk’oku bakenga Îshe. “Orhakenga Omugala, erhi arhanakenga Îshe wamurhumaga”.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“Okuli, okuli, mmubwîre, oyumva akanwa kâni akanayêmêra owantumaga, obuzîne bw’ensiku n’amango erhi bwâge, arhakanahêkwa lubanja, ci ahimire olufù, ajà omu buzîne”.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.

25“Nêci mmubwîzire: amango gayishire -ganakola go gano- abafîre bâyumve izù lya Mwene Nyamuzinda, n’abaliyumve banalame”.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.

26“Nk’oku Îshe ye nn’obuzîne, kwo anahîre Omugala mpu abè nn’obuzîne”,For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

27“anamuhîre obuhashe bw’okutwa emmanja zoshi, bulya ali Mwene-omuntu”.And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

28“Murhasômeragwa n’okwo: bulya amango gayiruka, abâli omu nshinda boshi bârhengemwo bamâyumva izù lyâge”;Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

29“abakozire aminjà bafûkire obuzîne, n’abajizire amabî bafûkire olubanja”.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“Oku bwâni, ntâco nankahash’ijira niene”. “Olunyumvîrhe lwo ntwa; n’akanwa kâni kashingânîne, bulya ntajira oku nnonzize, ci oku owantumaga alonzize”.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“Akabà nie ncihamîriza niene, obuhamîrizi bwâni burhali bwo”.If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

32“Wundi odwîrhe wampamîririza, nnamanyire oku obuhamîrizi bwâge kuli nie buli bw’okuli”.There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

33“Mwâli murhumire abantu emwa Yowane, naye adesire okunali”.You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34“Nie ono ntalonza buhamîrizi bwa muntu; ci ebyo mbidesire nti lyo mucunguka”.Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

35“Yowane kàli kamole katwanyire kanalangashîne; mwanali mulonzize okusîma hisanzi hisungunu omu bumoleke bwâge”.John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

36“Niehe ngwêrhe obuhamîrizi bulushire obwa Yowane: emikolo Larha ampâga mpu njire; eyo mikolo njira yo ehamîriza oku Larha ye wantumaga”.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.

37“Na Larha wantumaga, yêne ye muhamîrizi wâni. Mw’oyo murhasig’iyumva izù lyâge ciru n’eliguma, murhanasâg’ibona obusù bwâge”,And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

38n’ecinwa câge cirhammubamwo, bulya oyu arhumaga murhamuyêmêra”.nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39“Muhumba Amandiko, bulya mucîkebirwe mpu mwo mubà akalamo karhahwa; ci nago kumpamîriza gampamîriza!”You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40“Ci murhalonza okujà emunda ndi lyo mubona obuzîne”.yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

41“Irenge ly’abantu, ntalilonza”.I do not accept glory from men,

42“Ci mmanyire oku murhajira buzigire bwa Nnâmahanga”.but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

43“Nayishire oku izîno lya Larha, murhananyankiriraga; erhi owundi ankacirhuma yênene, oyo mwanamuyankirira”.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.

44“Kurhi mwankayêmêra mwe mulonza okukuzibwa ngasi muguma n’abâbo, ci obukuze burhenga emwa Nnâmahanga yêne murhabulonza?”How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45“Murhamanyaga mpu nie nâmmushobeke emwa Larha”. “Mûsa mucicîkubagira ye wâmmushobeke”.Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

46“Bulya muciyêmêraga Mûsa, mwankanyêmîre nâni; bulya ebi ayandisire nie abiyandikîre”.If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

47“Ci mukabà murhayêmîri ebi ayandisire, kurhi mwankayêmêra ebinwa byâni?”»But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
