João 5

1 After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Bethesda", having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water; 4 for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.*5:4 NU omits from "waiting" in verse 3 to the end of verse 4. 5 A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me."

8 Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."

9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.

Now that day was a Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

11 He answered them, "He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ "

12 Then they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’?"

13 But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. 19 Jesus therefore answered them, "Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. 20 For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. 22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 25 Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. 27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. 28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. 30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

31 "If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. 32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. 37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. 38 You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.

39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. 41 I don’t receive glory from men. 42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45 "Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. 47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"

Te Whakaoratanga i te Kaukauranga

1 Muri iho i ēnei mea he hākari tā ngā Hūrai, ā, haere ana a Īhu ki Hiruhārama. 2 Nā, kei Hiruhārama tētahi wai kaukauranga kei te tatau hipi, tōna ingoa Hiperu ko Petehera; e rima ōna whakamahau. 3 Nā, kei roto i ēnei e takoto ana tōna tini o ngā tūroro, o ngā matapō, o ngā kopa, o ngā memenge, e tatari ana ki te pōkarekarenga o te wai. 4 Heke iho ai hoki tētahi anahera i te wā i rite ai ki te kaukauranga, whakapōkarekare ai i te wai; ā, ko ia kua tae wawe i muri iho o te pōkarekarenga o te wai i ora i tōna mate, ahakoa he aha, he aha. 5 Nā, kei reira tētahi tangata, e toru tekau mā waru ngā tau e mate ana. 6 Nō te kitenga o Īhu i a ia e takoto ana, ka mātau kua roa kē te wā ōna e mate ana, ka mea ki a ia, "E pai ana rānei koe kia whakaorangia?"

7 Ka whakahokia e taua tūroro ki a ia, "E te Ariki, kāhore āku tāngata hei tuku i ahau ki te kaukauranga, ina whakapōkarekarea te wai; heoi, i ahau e haere ana, ka heke iho tētahi i mua i ahau."

8 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Whakatika, tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere." 9 Ā, ora tonu ake taua tangata, ā, tangohia ake ana e ia tōna moenga, haere ana.

Ko te hāpati anō taua rā. 10 Nā, ka mea ngā Hūrai ki taua tangata i whakaorangia rā, "Ko te hāpati tēnei; e kore e tika kia mauria e koe tōu moenga."

11 Ka whakahokia e ia ki a rātou, "Ko te tangata i whakaorangia ai ahau, nāna i mea ki ahau, ‘Tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere.’ "

12 Nā, ka ui rātou ki a ia, "Ko wai tēnā tangata i mea nā ki a koe, ‘Tangohia ake tōu moenga, haere’?"

13 Otirā, kīhai taua tangata i whakaorangia rā i mōhio ko wai ia; i paheno atu hoki a Īhu, he tokomaha hoki ngā tāngata i taua wāhi.

14 Muri iho i ēnei mea ka kite a Īhu i a ia i roto i te temepara, ka mea ki a ia, "Nā, ka oti nei koe te whakaora. Kāti te hara kei kino rawa iho te mea e pā ki a koe."

15 Haere ana taua tangata, kōrero ana ki ngā Hūrai, nā Īhu ia i whakaora. 16 Koia ngā Hūrai i whai ai ki te tūkino i a Īhu, mōna i mea i ēnei mea i te hāpati. 17 Nā, ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a rātou, "E mahi ana tōku Matua ā taea noatia tēnei rā; e mahi ana anō ahau."

18 Koia ngā Hūrai i tino whai rawa ai kia patua ia, ehara hoki i te mea ko tāna takahi anake i te hāpati, engari, mōna i mea ko te Atua tōna Matua ake, i mea he rite ia ki te Atua te nui.

Te Mana o te Tama

19 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore e taea e te Tama te mea tētahi mea e ia anake, engari ngā mea e kite ai ia e meatia ana e te Matua; ko tāna hoki e mea ai, e meatia ana hoki e te Tama. 20 E aroha ana hoki te Matua ki te Tama, e whakakitea ana hoki ki a ia ngā mea katoa e mea ai ia; he nui atu i ēnei ngā mahi e whakakitea e ia ki a ia, kia mīharo ai koutou. 21 Ko tā te Matua hoki, he whakaara, he whakaora i ngā tūpāpaku; ka pērā anō te Tama, ka whakaora i āna e pai ai. 22 E kore hoki te Matua e whakawā i tētahi, engari, kua tukua e ia ngā whakawā katoa ki te Tama; 23 kia rite ai te whakahōnore a ngā tāngata katoa i te Tama ki tā rātou whakahōnore i te Matua. Ki te kāhore tētahi e whakahōnore i te Tama, e whakakāhore ana ia i te hōnore mō te Matua nāna nei ia i tono mai.

24 "He pono, he pono tāku e mea atu nei ki a koutou, ko te tangata e rongo ana ki tāku kōrero, e whakapono ana hoki ki tōku kaitono mai, he ora tonu tōna; e kore anō ia e riro ki te whakawā, engari, kua whiti i te mate ki te ora. 25 He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, meāke puta te wā, ā, tēnei anō ināianei, e rongo ai ngā tūpāpaku i te reo o tā te Atua Tama; ā, ko te hunga e rongo ana ka ora. 26 Tā te mea he ora tō te Matua kei roto i a ia; waihoki kua hōmai e ia ki te Tama, kia whai ora i roto i a ia; 27 ā, kua hōmai anō ki a ia he tikanga mō te whakawā, nō te mea ko ia te Tama a te tangata.

28 "Kaua e mīharo ki tēnei; nō te mea meāke puta te wā, e rongo ai i tōna reo ngā tāngata katoa i roto i ngā urupā, 29 ā, ka puta; ko ngā kaimahi i te pai ki te aranga o te ora; ko ngā kaimahi i te kino ki te aranga o te whakawā."

Ngā Kaiwhakaatu mō Īhu

30 "E kore e āhei i ahau te mea tētahi mea e ahau anake; rite tonu tāku whakawā ki tāku e rongo ai. He tika hoki tāku whakawā; kāhore hoki ahau e rapu i tāku i pai ai, engari, i tā tōku kaitono i pai ai."

31 "Mehemea ko ahau hei whakaatu i āku aha, i āku aha, ehara tāku i te whakaatu pono. 32 Tērā atu anō tētahi kaiwhakaatu mōku; e mōhio ana anō ahau he whakaatu pono tāna e whakaatu nei mōku. 33 I tono tāngata koutou ki a Hoani, ā, i whakaaturia e ia te pono. 34 Kāhore ahau e manako ki tā te tangata whakaatu; engari, e kōrerotia ana e ahau ēnei mea kia ora ai koutou. 35 He rama kā tērā, he rama mārama tonu; he wā anō i pai ai koutou kia hari ki tōna mārama.

36 "Otiia, he kaiwhakaatu anō tōku, nui atu i a Hoani. Ko ngā mahi hoki i hōmai e te Matua kia whakaotia e ahau, ko aua mahi e mahia nei e ahau, hei whakaatu mōku, i tonoa mai ahau e te Matua. 37 Nā, ko te Matua nāna nei ahau i tono mai, kua oti ahau te whakaatu e ia. Kāhore anō koutou i rongo noa i tōna reo, kāhore anō i kite i tōna āhua. 38 Kāhore anō hoki i mau tāna kupu i roto i a koutou; inā kāhore anō koutou i whakapono ki tēnei i tonoa mai nei e ia. 39 Whakatakina ai e koutou ngā tikanga o ngā karaipiture; e mea ana hoki koutou kei reira te ora tonu mō koutou; ko ēnei hei kaiwhakaatu mōku. 40 Heoi, kāhore koutou e pai kia haere mai ki ahau, kia whiwhi ai ki te ora.

41 "He korōria tāngata, kāhore ahau e manako atu. 42 Nā, kua mātau ahau ki a koutou, kāhore te aroha o te Atua i roto i a koutou. 43 Kua tae mai nei ahau i runga i te ingoa o tōku Matua, ā, kāhore koutou e manako mai ki ahau; ki te haere mai tētahi i runga i tōna ake ingoa, ka manako koutou ki a ia. 44 Me pēhea koutou ka whakapono ai, ka riro nei i a koutou te korōria e puta ana i a koutou anō, ā, kāhore e rapu i te korōria e puta ana i te Atua kotahi?

45 "Kei mea koutou e kōrerotia tō koutou hē e ahau ki te Matua; tērā te kaikōrero mō tō koutou hē, ko Mohi, ko tā koutou e tūmanako nei. 46 Me i whakapono hoki koutou ki a Mohi, kua whakapono anō ki ahau; ko tāna hoki i tuhituhi ai he mea mōku. 47 Otirā, ki te kāhore koutou e whakapono ki āna i tuhituhi ai, me pēhea ka whakapono ai ki āku kōrero?"
