1Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
1To pacoengah Judahnawk ih poih to oh; to naah Jesu loe Jerusalem ah caeh tahang.
2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
2Jerusalem vangpui ih tuu khongkha taengah, Hebru lok hoi Bethesda, tiah kawk ih tuili maeto oh, toah imphu kaom anghakhaih ahmuen pangato oh.
3On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
3To ahmuen ah mikmaeng, khokkhaem, kangoi hoi nganna kaminawk angsong o mangh moe, kangphui tui to a zing o.
no verse 4 in this text
4Atue atue naah van kami to angzoh tathuk moe, tui to angphuisak: mi kawbaktih doeh tui angphui naah lungpung hmaloe loe a tawnh ih kawbaktih nathaih doeh hoih.
5One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
5To naah saning quithumto pacoeng, tazetto kangoi kami maeto tui taengah oh.
6When 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?”
6Jesu mah to kami loe saning paroeai kasawk ah to ahmuen ah angsong boeh, tito panoek naah, anih mah to kami khaeah, Ngantui han na koeh maw? tiah a naa.
7“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.”
7Nganna kami mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, tui angphui naah kai tui thungah va kami om ai: kang thawk moe, ka caeh li naah, kalah kaminawk ka hma ah lungpung o ving boeh, tiah a naa.
8Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
8Jesu mah anih khaeah, Angthawk ah, nangmah ih nambaih to la ah loe, caeh laih, tiah a naa.
9Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
9Akra ai ah to kami to ngantui roep, angmah ih kahni to lak moe, a caeh: to na ni loe Sabbath ah oh.
10so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
10To naah Judahnawk mah ngantui kami khaeah, Vaihni loe Sabbath niah oh: kahni lak han daan na ai ni, tiah a naa o.
11But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
11Toe anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kai ngantuisak kami mah, kai khaeah, nangmah ih kahni to la ah loe, caeh laih, tiah ang naa, tiah pathim pae.
12“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
12To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nangmah ih kahni to la ah loe, caeh laih, tiah thui kami loe mi aa? tiah dueng o.
13But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
13Jesu loe toah kangpop paroeai kaminawk salakah caeh ving boeh pongah, ngantui kami mah anih loe mi kawbaktih maw, tito panoek ai boeh.
14Afterward, 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.”
14To pacoengah Jesu mah anih to tempul thungah hnuk, anih khaeah, Khenah, ngan na tui boeh: zaehaih sah let hmah lai ah, to tih ai nahaeloe kanung aep hmuen na nuiah pha tih, tiah a naa.
15And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
15To kami loe caeh moe, anih ngantuisak kami loe Jesu ni, tiah Judahnawk khaeah thuih pae.
16Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
16Jesu mah Sabbath niah to baktih hmuennawk sak pongah, Judahnawk mah Jesu to pacaekthlaek moe, hum hanah pacaeng o.
17But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
17Toe Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kam Pa loe vaihi khoek to toksak vop, to pongah kai doeh tok ka sak toeng, tiah a naa.
18Because 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.
18Anih loe Sabbath ni to zaa ai khue na ai ah, Sithaw loe Kam Pa ni, tiah thui moe, angmah hoi angmah to Sithaw hoi kangvan ah suek pongah, Judahnawk mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o aep.
19So 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.
19Jesu mah nihcae khaeah hae tiah lok pathim pae, Loktang to, loktang ah, Kang thuih o, Ampa mah sak ih hmuen hnu ai ah, Capa loe angmah koeh ah tidoeh sah thai ai: ampa mah sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah ni, Capa mah doeh sak toeng.
20The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
20Ampa mah Capa to palung pongah, a sak ih hmuennawk boih to anih hanah patuek: na dawnrai o hanah, hae hmuennawk pongah kalen kue anih han patuek vop tih.
21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
21Ampa mah kadueh kaminawk to pathawk moe, nihcae han hinghaih paek baktih toengah, Capa mah doeh angmah koeh ih kaminawk khaeah hinghaih to paek.
22Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
22Ampa loe mi doeh lokcaek ai, lokcaekhaih to Capa khaeah paek boih boeh:
23so 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.
23Ampa to saiqat o baktih toengah, Capa to kami boih mah saiqat o thai hanah to tiah paek. A Capa saiqat ai kami loe, anih patoehkung ampa doeh saiqat ai.
24Truly, 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.
24Loktang to, loktang ah, Kang thuih o, Ka lok hae tahngai moe, kai patoehkung Anih to tang kami loe, dungzan hinghaih to tawnh boeh pongah, lokcaekhaih tong mak ai; duekhaih thung hoiah a poeng boeh moe, hinghaih thungah akun boeh.
25Truly, 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.
25Loktang to, loktang ah, Kang thuih o, Kadueh kaminawk mah Sithaw Capa ih lok to thai o tih: lok thaih kaminawk loe hing o tih, to baktih atue to angzo tih, vaihi doeh angzoh boeh.
26For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
26Ampa loe angmah ah hinghaih to tawnh boeh, to baktih toengah Capa mah doeh angmah ah hinghaih tawnh hanah ampa mah paek boeh.
27And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
27Anih loe Kami Capa ah oh pongah, lokcaek thaihaih doeh anih hanah paek boeh.
28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
28Hae pongah dawnrai o sak hmah: taprong thung kaom kaminawk boih mah anih ih lok thaihaih atue to pha tih,
29and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
29kahoih hmuen sah kaminawk loe, hinghaih to toep hanah, angthawk o let ueloe, kasae hmuen sah kaminawk doeh, lokcaekhaih hnuk hanah, angthawk o let tih.
30I 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.
30Kai loe kaimah koeh ah tidoeh sah thai ai: ka thaih ih baktih toengah lok ka caek: kaimah koehhaih to ka pakrong ai, kai patoehkung Pa koehhaih to ni ka pakrong, to pongah ka lokcaekhaih loe amsoem.
31If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
31Kaimah hoi kaimah hnukung ah ka oh nahaeloe, hnukung ah ka ohhaih to amsoem mak ai.
32There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
32Toe kai hnukung kalah maeto oh; anih mah kai hnukung ah ohhaih lok loe amsoem, tiah ka panoek.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
33Anih loe loktang hnukung ah oh pongah, Johan khaeah kami na patoeh o.
34Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
34Toe kami mah thuih ih hnukung ah ohhaih to ka tapom ai: toe pahlonghaih na hnuk o thai han ih ni hae loknawk hae ka thuih.
35John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
35Johan loe kangqong, aanghaih paekkung hmai-im ah oh: nangcae loe anih aanghaih thungah nawnetta thung khue anghoe han ih ni na koeh o.
36But 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.
36Toe kai loe Johan pong kalen kue hnukung to ka tawnh: kai loe toksak pacoeng hanah Pa mah ang paek ih toknawk to ni ka sak, to toknawk loe Pa mah ang patoeh, tiah hnukung ah oh o.
37And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
37Kai patoehkung, Pa loe kai hnukung ah oh. Nangcae mah loe anih ih lok to na thaih o vai ai, anih ih krang doeh na hnu o vai ai.
38nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
38Nangcae thungah anih ih lok om ai pongah, anih mah patoeh ih kami to na tang o ai.
39You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
39Nangcae dungzan hinghaih loe Cabu thungah oh, tiah na poek o pongah, Cabunawk to na khet o; to Cabunawk loe kai kawng thuikung ah ni oh o.
40yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
40Toe hinghaih na hnuk o hanah, kai khaeah angzoh han na koeh o ai.
41I do not accept glory from men,
41Kai loe kaminawk pakoehhaih to tiah doeh ka poek ai.
42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
42Toe nangcae thungah Sithaw amlunghaih om ai, tito ka panoek.
43I 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.
43Kai loe kam Pa ih ahmin hoiah ni kang zoh, toe kai to nang talawk o ai: angmah ih ahmin hoiah kalah kami to angzo nahaeloe, anih to na talawk o tih.
44How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
44Sithaw khae khue hoiah angzo pakoehhaih to pakrong ai ah, kami maeto hoi maeto pakoehhaih to na koeh o pongah, kawbangmaw na tang o thai tih?
45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
45Kai mah Pa hmaa ah nangcae zaehaih net tih, tiah poek o hmah: nangcae zaehaih net kami loe na oep o ih, Mosi ni.
46If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
46Mosi na tang o nahaeloe, kai doeh nang tang o tih: anih loe kai kawng ni tarik.
47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
47Toe anih mah tarik ih loknawk to na tang o ai nahaeloe, kawbangmaw ka thuih ih loknawk to na tang o thai tih? tiah a naa.
