Yohana 5
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Baada ya hayo kulikuwa na sikukuu ya Wayahudi, naye Yesu akaenda Yerusalemu.
1After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Huko Yerusalemu, karibu na mlango uitwao Mlango wa Kondoo, kulikuwa na bwawa la maji liitwalo kwa Kiebrania Bethzatha, ambalo lilikuwa na baraza tano zenye matao.
2Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches.
3Humo barazani mlikuwa na wagonjwa wengi wamekaa: vipofu, viwete na waliopooza. Walikuwa wakingojea maji yatibuliwe,
3In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water.
4maana mara kwa mara malaika alishuka majini nyakati fulani na kuyatibua. Mtu yeyote aliyekuwa wa kwanza kuingia majini baada ya maji kutibuliwa, alipona ugonjwa wowote aliokuwa nao.
4And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.
5Basi, hapo palikuwa na mtu mmoja aliyekuwa mgonjwa kwa muda wa miaka thelathini na minane.
5And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.
6Naye alipomwona huyo mtu amelala hapo, akatambua kwamba alikuwa amekaa hapo kwa muda mrefu, akamwuliza, “Je, wataka kupona?”
6Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole?
7Naye akajibu, “Mheshimiwa, mimi sina mtu wa kunipeleka majini wakati yanapotibuliwa. Kila nikijaribu kuingia, mtu mwingine hunitangulia.”
7The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.
8Yesu akamwambia, “Inuka, chukua mkeka wako utembee.”
8Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9Mara huyo mtu akapona, akachukua mkeka wake, akatembea. Jambo hili lilifanyika siku ya Sabato.
9And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.
10Kwa hiyo baadhi ya Wayahudi wakamwambia huyo mtu aliyeponywa, “Leo ni Sabato, si halali kubeba mkeka wako.”
10The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.
11Lakini yeye akawaambia, “Yule mtu aliyeniponya ndiye aliyeniambia: Chukua mkeka wako, tembea.”
11He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12Nao wakamwuliza, “Huyo mtu aliyekwambia: Chukua mkeka wako, tembea, ni nani?”
12They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13Lakini yeye hakumjua huyo mtu aliyemponya, maana Yesu alikuwa amekwisha ondoka mahali hapo, kwani palikuwa na umati mkubwa wa watu.
13But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place.
14Basi, baadaye Yesu alimkuta huyo aliyeponywa Hekaluni, akamwambia, “Sasa umepona; usitende dhambi tena, usije ukapatwa na jambo baya zaidi.”
14Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee.
15Huyo mtu akaenda, akawaambia viongozi wa Wayahudi kwamba Yesu ndiye aliyemponya.
15The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
16Kwa vile Yesu alifanya jambo hilo siku ya Sabato, Wayahudi walianza kumdhulumu.
16Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.
17Basi, Yesu akawaambia, “Baba yangu anafanya kazi daima, nami pia nafanya kazi.”
17But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work.
18Kwa sababu ya maneno haya, viongozi wa Wayahudi walizidi kutafuta njia ya kumwua Yesu: si kwa kuwa aliivunja Sheria ya Sabato tu, bali pia kwa kuwa alisema kwamba Mungu ni Baba yake, na hivyo akajifanya sawa na Mungu.
18Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.
19Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, Mwana hawezi kufanya kitu peke yake; anaweza tu kufanya kile anachomwona Baba akikifanya. Maana kile anachofanya Baba, Mwana hukifanya vilevile.
19Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner.
20Baba ampenda Mwana, na humwonyesha kila kitu anachokifanya yeye mwenyewe, tena atamwonyesha mambo makuu kuliko haya, nanyi mtastaajabu.
20For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder.
21Kama vile Baba huwafufua wafu na kuwapa uzima, vivyo hivyo naye Mwana huwapa uzima wale anaopenda.
21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.
22Baba hamhukumu mtu yeyote; shughuli yote ya hukumu amemkabidhi Mwana,
22For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son.
23ili watu wote wamheshimu Mwana kama vile wanavyomheshimu Baba. Asiyemheshimu Mwana hamheshimu Baba ambaye amemtuma.
23That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him.
24“Kweli nawaambieni, anayesikia neno langu, na kumwamini yule aliyenituma, anao uzima wa milele. Hatahukumiwa kamwe, bali amekwisha pita kutoka kifo na kuingia katika uzima.
24Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.
25Kweli nawaambieni, wakati unakuja, tena umekwisha fika, ambapo wafu wataisikia sauti ya Mwana wa Mungu, nao watakaoisikia, wataishi.
25Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.
26Kama vile Baba alivyo asili ya uhai, ndivyo pia alivyomjalia Mwanawe kuwa asili ya uhai.
26For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself:
27Tena amempa mamlaka ya kuhukumu kwa sababu yeye ni Mwana wa Mtu.
27And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.
28Msistaajabie jambo hili; maana wakati unakuja ambapo wote waliomo makaburini wataisikia sauti yake,
28Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.
29nao watafufuka: wale waliotenda mema watafufuka na kuishi, na wale waliotenda maovu watafufuka na kuhukumiwa.
29And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.
30“Mimi siwezi kufanya kitu kwa uwezo wangu mwenyewe. Mimi nina hukumu kama ninavyosikia kutoka kwa Baba, nayo hukumu yangu ni ya haki. Nia yangu si kufanya nipendavyo mwenyewe, bali apendavyo yule aliyenituma.
30I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
31Nikijishuhudia mimi mwenyewe, ushahidi wangu hauwezi kukubaliwa kuwa wa kweli.
31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32Lakini yuko mwingine ambaye hutoa ushahidi juu yangu, nami najua kwamba yote anayosema juu yangu ni ya kweli.
32There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33Ninyi mlituma ujumbe kwa Yohane naye aliushuhudia ukweli.
33You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth.
34Si kwamba mimi nautegemea ushahidi wa wanadamu, lakini nasema mambo haya ili mpate kuokolewa.
34But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved.
35Yohane alikuwa kama taa iliyokuwa ikiwaka na kuangaza, nanyi mlikuwa tayari kufurahia mwanga huo kwa kitambo.
35He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
36Lakini mimi nina ushahidi juu yangu ambao ni mkuu zaidi kuliko ule wa Yohane. Kwa maana kazi ninazofanya, kazi alizonipa Baba nizifanye, ndizo zinazonishuhudia kwamba Baba ndiye aliyenituma.
36But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37Naye Baba aliyenituma hunishuhudia. Ninyi hamjapata kamwe kusikia sauti yake, wala kuuona uso wake,
37And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38na ujumbe wake haukai ndani yenu maana hamkumwamini yule aliyemtuma.
38And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not.
39Ninyi huyachunguza Maandiko Matakatifu mkidhani kwamba ndani yake mtapata uzima wa milele; na kumbe maandiko hayohayo yananishuhudia!
39Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they that give testimony of me.
40Hata hivyo, ninyi hamtaki kuja kwangu ili mpate uzima.
40And you will not come to me that you may have life.
41“Shabaha yangu si kupata sifa kutoka kwa watu.
41I receive glory not from men.
42Lakini nawajua ninyi, najua kwamba upendo kwa Mungu haumo mioyoni mwenu.
42But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
43Mimi nimekuja kwa mamlaka ya Baba yangu, lakini hamnipokei; bali mtu mwingine akija kwa mamlaka yake mwenyewe, mtampokea.
43I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
44Mwawezaje kuamini, hali ninyi mnapenda kupokea sifa kutoka kwenu ninyi wenyewe, wala hamtafuti sifa kutoka kwake yeye aliye peke yake Mungu?
44How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?
45Msifikiri kwamba mimi nitawashtaki kwa Baba. Mose ambaye ninyi mmemtumainia ndiye atakayewashtaki.
45Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust.
46Kama kweli mngemwamini Mose, mngeniamini na mimi pia; maana Mose aliandika juu yangu.
46For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me.
47Lakini hamuyaamini yale aliyoandika, mtawezaje basi, kuamini maneno yangu?”
47But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
