1Hili eni, naʻe ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai Siu: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema.
1Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Pea ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ofi ki he matapā sipi , ʻae ano vai, ʻoku ui ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko Peteseta, naʻe nima hono fale hala.
2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3Pea naʻe tatoka ai ʻae kakai mahaki tokolahi, ko e kui, mo e pipiki, mo e mamatea, ʻi he tatali ki he ngaueue ʻoe vai.
3On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
4He naʻe ʻalu hifo ha ʻāngelo ki he ano ʻi ha ʻaho, ʻo fakangaueue ʻae vai: pea ko ia ʻe fuofua tuʻu ki he vai, hili hono fakangaueue, naʻe fakamoʻui ia mei hono mahaki kotoa pē.
no verse 4 in this text
5Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe moʻua ʻi he mahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma valu.
5One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6Ka kuo mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻene tokoto, ʻo ne ʻilo kuo fuoloa ʻene moʻua, naʻe fehuʻi ia ki ai, “Ko ho loto ke ke moʻui?”
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?”
7Pea pehē ʻe he mahaki kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata, ʻoka fakangaueue ʻae vai, ke ne hiki au ki he ano: kae lolotonga ʻeku ʻalu, ʻoku muʻomuʻa hifo ʻiate au ha taha kehe.”
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.”
8Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu.”
8Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9Pea fakafokifā pe kuo moʻui ʻae tangata, ʻo ne toʻo hono mohenga, pea ʻalu pea ko e ʻaho ko ia ko e Sāpate.
9Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10¶ Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia kuo fakamoʻui, “Ko e ʻaho Sāpate eni: ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke ke fua ho mohenga.”
10so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui au, ko ia pe naʻe pehē kiate au, ‘Toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu.’”
11But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi ai kiate ia, “Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia naʻe pehē kiate koe, “Toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu?”
12“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13Pea ko ia kuo fakamoʻui naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai ia: he naʻe mahuʻi mei ai ʻa Sisu, he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi.
13But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
14Hili ia, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fakamoʻui koe: ʻoua naʻa ke toe fai angahala, telia naʻa tō kiate koe ha kovi lahi hake.”
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.”
15Pea ʻalu ʻae tangata, ʻo fakahā ki he kakai Siu ko Sisu ia, naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia.
15And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16Pea ko ia naʻe fakatangaʻi ai ʻa Sisu ʻe he kakai Siu, ʻonau fie tāmateʻi ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
16Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17¶ Ka naʻe talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku kei ngāue ni ʻa ʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku ou ngāue foki.”
17But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
18Ko ia naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae fie tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kakai Siu, he naʻe ʻikai ke ngata ʻi he maumauʻi ʻae Sāpate, ka ko ʻene pehē foki, ko e ʻOtua ko ʻene Tamai, ʻo ne fakatatau ai ia ki he ʻOtua.
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.
19Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he ʻAlo ha meʻa ʻe ia pē, ka ko ia ʻoku ne mamata ʻoku fai ʻe he Tamai: he ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai, ʻoku fai ia ʻe he ʻAlo foki.
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.
20He ʻoku ʻofa ʻae Tamai ki he ʻAlo, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai: pea te ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻi he meʻa ni, ke mou ofo ai.
20The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21He ʻoku hangē ʻoku fokotuʻu mo fakaake ʻe he Tamai ʻae mate; ʻoku pehē ʻae fakaake ʻe he ʻAlo ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku loto ia ki ai.
21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22He ʻoku ʻikai fakamaau ha tokotaha ʻe he Tamai, ka kuo ne tuku ʻae fakamaau kotoa pē ki he ʻAlo:
22Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
23Koeʻuhi ke fakaʻapaʻapa kotoa pē ki he ʻAlo, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fakaʻapaʻapa ki he Tamai. Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻAlo, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki he Tamai naʻa ne fekau ia.
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.
24“Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fanongo ki heʻeku lea, ʻo tui kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui taʻengata, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia; ka kuo hao mei he mate ki he moʻui.
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.
25Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, pea ko eni ia, ʻe fanongo ai ʻae mate ki he leʻo ʻoe ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ko kinautolu ʻe fanongo te nau moʻui.
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.
26He ʻoku hangē ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai ʻae moʻui ʻiate ia pē; pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻene tuku ki he ʻAlo, ke ne maʻu ʻae moʻui ʻiate ia pe;
26For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27Pea kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ke ʻaʻana ʻae fai ʻoe fakamaau foki, koeʻuhi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe tangata.
27And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
28ʻOua te mou ofo ai: he ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe fanongo ai ki hono leʻo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga,
28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
29Pea te nau ʻalu atu; ko kinautolu naʻe fai lelei, ki he toetuʻu ʻoe moʻui; mo kinautolu naʻe fai kovi, ki he toetuʻu ʻoe fakamalaʻia.
29and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30“ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa fai ʻeau pe ha meʻa: ʻoku hangē ko ʻeku fanongo, ʻa ʻeku fakamaau: pea ʻoku totonu ʻeku fakamaau; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te u fai ki hoku loto ʻoʻoku, ka ko e finangalo ʻoe Tamai naʻa ne fekau au.
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.
31¶ “Kapau te u fakamoʻoni au ʻeau pē, tā ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ʻeku fakamoʻoni.
31If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32ʻOku ai ha tokotaha kehe ʻoku ne fakamoʻoniʻi au; pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ko ʻene fakamoʻoni kiate au ʻoku moʻoni.
32There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33Naʻa mou fekau kia Sione, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ki he moʻoni.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga kiate au ʻae fakamoʻoni mei he tangata: ka ʻoku ou lea ʻaki eni koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui.
34Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35Ko e maama vela mo ulo ia: pea naʻa mou loto ʻo fuoloa siʻi pē ke fiefia ʻi hono maama.
35John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36¶ Ka ʻoku ou maʻu ʻae fakamoʻoni lahi ʻia Sione: he ko e ngaahi ngāue kuo tuku kiate au ʻe he Tamai ke u fai, ko e ngāue ko ia ʻoku ou fai, ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au, kuo fekau au ʻe he Tamai.
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.
37Pea ko e Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au, kuo ne fakamoʻoni kiate au. Naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ʻi ha kuonga ki hono leʻo, pe mamata ki hono anga.
37And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻene folofola: he ko ia naʻa ne fekau, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ki ai.
38nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39¶ ʻOku mou kumi lahi ʻi he ngaahi tohitapu koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻamanaki ke maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au.
39You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,
40Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou loto ke haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui.
40yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41“ʻOku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae fakamālō mei he tangata.
41I do not accept glory from men,
42Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
42but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43Kuo u haʻu au ʻi he huafa ʻo ʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu au: kapau ʻe haʻu ha taha ʻi hono hingoa ʻoʻona, te mou maʻu ia.
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.
44ʻE faʻa tui fēfē ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku mou fetaliʻaki ʻae fefakamālōʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou kumi ki he fakamālō mei he ʻOtua pē?
44How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45ʻOua naʻa mahalo te u talatalaaki ʻakimoutolu ki he Tamai: ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻoku ne talatalaaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻa Mōsese, ʻoku mou falala ki ai.
45Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46He ka ne tui ʻakimoutolu kia Mōsese, pehē, kuo mou tui kiate au: he naʻe tohi ʻe ia kiate au.
46If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ki heʻene ngaahi tohi, ʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻomou tui ki heʻeku ngaahi lea?”
47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
