1 A fter this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى مَدِيْنَةِ القُدْسِ فِي أحَدِ الأعيادِ اليَهُودِيَّةِ.

2 N ow there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

وَكانَتْ هُناكَ بِرْكَةٌ قُرْبُ بابِ الضَّأْنِ تُدْعَى بِالعِبْرِيَّةِ «بَيْتَ حِسْدا،» وَحَولَها خَمْسَةُ مَمَرّاتٍ مَسْقُوفَةٍ،

3 I n these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water.

يَرقُدُ فِيْها جَمْعٌ مِنَ المَرْضَى العُمِي وَالعُرْجُ وَالمَشلُولِيْنَ يَنتَظِرونَ تَحريكَ الماءِ.

4 F or an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

وَكانَ مَلاكٌ يَنْزِلُ بَينَ الحينِ وَالآخَرِ إلى البِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ الماءَ. فَكانَ أوَّلُ مَنْ يَنْزِلُ إلَى البِرْكَةِ بَعْدَ تَحْريكِ الماءِ، يُشْفَى مِنْ أيِّ مَرَضٍ فيهِ.

5 N ow a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

وَكانَ هُناكَ رَجُلٌ مَرِيْضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمانٍ وَثَلاثِيْنَ سَنَةً.

6 W hen Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”

فَرَآهُ يَسُوعُ راقِداً، وَعَرَفَ أنَّهُ مَرِيْضٌ مُنْذُ وَقْتٍ طَوِيلٍ، فَقالَ لَهُ: «أتُرِيْدُ أنْ تُشْفَى؟»

7 T he sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

فَأجابَ المَرِيْضُ: «يا سَيِّدُ، لَيْسَ لِي أحَدٌ يُنزِلُنِي إلَى البِرْكَةِ عِندَما يُحَرَّكُ الماءُ. وَحِيْنَ أُحاوِلُ النُّزُولَ، يَنزِلُ شَخْصٌ آخَرُ قَبلِي.»

8 J esus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمْ وَاحْمِلْ فِراشَكَ وَامْشِ.»

9 A nd immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

فَشُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ فَوْراً، وَحَمَلَ فِراشَهُ وَبَدَأ يَمْشِي. وَكانَ هَذا يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.

10 T he Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”

فَقالَ بَعْضُ اليَهُودِ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي شُفِيَ: «اليَوْمُ هُوَ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ، وَمِنَ المُخالِفِ لِشَرِيْعَتِنا أنْ تَحمِلَ فِراشَكَ!»

11 H e answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.’ ”

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «الَّذِي شَفانِي هُوَ قالَ لِيْ: ‹احمِلْ فِراشَكَ وَامشِ.›»

12 T hen they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk’ ?”

فَسَألُوهُ: «مَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي قالَ لَكَ: ‹احمِلْ فِراشَكَ وَامْشِ›؟»

13 B ut the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.

لَكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي شَفاهُ، فَقَدْ كانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ النّاسِ فِي ذَلِكَ المَكانِ، وَكانَ يَسُوعُ قَدِ انسَحَبَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ.

14 A fterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”

وَفِي وَقْتٍ لاحِقٍ، وَجَدَ يَسُوعُ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيْكَلِ فَقالَ لَهُ: «ها إنَّكَ قَدْ شُفِيْتَ، فَكُفَّ عَنِ الخَطِيَّةِ حَتَّى لا يُصِيْبَكَ ما هُوَ أسْوَأُ.»

15 T he man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. Honor the Father and the Son

فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ وَأخبَرَ أُولَئِكَ اليَهُودَ أنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي شَفاهُ.

16 F or this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

فَبَدَأ اليَهُودُ يُلاحِقُونَ يَسُوعَ لِأنَّهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

17 B ut Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أبِي يَعْمَلُ عَلَى الدَّوامِ، وَلِهَذا يَنبَغِي أنْ أعمَلَ أنا أيضاً.»

18 T herefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

فَازدادَ اليَهُودُ إصْراراً عَلَى قَتلِهِ. لَيْسَ لِأنَّهُ خالَفَ شَرِيْعَةَ السَّبْتِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أيضاً لِأنَّهُ قالَ إنَّ اللهَ أبُوهُ، مُساوِياً نَفْسَهُ بِاللهِ. يَسُوعُ يَملِكُ سُلْطانَ الله

19 T hen Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الحَقَّ أقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِ الابْنِ أنْ يَعْمَلَ شَيْئاً مُسْتَقِلاً عَنِ الآبِ، لَكِنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ ما يَرَى الآبَ يَعْمَلُهُ. وَمَهْما عَمِلَ الآبُ، فَإنَّ الابْنَ يَعْمَلُهُ أيضاً.

20 F or the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

الآبُ يُحِبُّ الابْنَ، وَيُرِيْهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ يَعْمَلُهُ، بَلْ سَيُرِيْهِ أعمالاً أعظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ، وَسَتَتَعَجَّبُونَ.

21 F or as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

لِأنَّهُ مِثلَما يُقِيْمُ الآبُ الأمْواتَ وَيُحيِيْهِمْ، فَإنَّ الابْنَ أيضاً يُحيِي مَنْ يَشاءُ.

22 F or the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

«الآبُ لا يُحاكِمُ أحَداً، لَكِنَّهُ سَلَّمَ كُلَّ القَضاءِ لِلإبْنِ،

23 t hat all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Life and Judgment Are Through the Son

وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ يُكْرِمَ كُلُّ النّاسِ الابْنَ، كَما يُكرِمُونَ الآبَ. فَالَّذِي لا يُكْرِمُ الابْنَ، لا يُكْرِمُ بِذَلِكَ الآبَ الَّذِي أرسَلَهُ أيضاً.

24 “ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

«أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: إنَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ كَلامِي وَيُؤْمِنُ بِمَنْ أرسَلَنِي، يَنالُ حَياةً إلَى الأبَدِ. وَلا يَكُونُ تَحْتَ حُكْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ، بَلْ قَدْ عَبَرَ مِنَ المَوْتِ إلَى الحَياةِ.

25 M ost assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

الحَقَّ أقُولُ لَكُمْ: يَأْتِي وَقْتٌ، وَها قَدْ أتَى بِالفِعلِ، حِيْنَ يَسْمَعُ الأمْواتُ صَوْتَ ابْنِ اللهِ، وَمَنْ يَسْمَعُهُ يَحْيا.

26 F or as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

الآبُ هُوَ مَصْدَرُ الحَياةِ، وَقَدْ أعْطَى الابْنَ أنْ يَكُونَ مَصْدَرَ الحَياةِ أيضاً.

27 a nd has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

وَأعطاهُ سُلْطاناً لِيُحاكِمَ النّاسَ لِأنَّهُ ابْنُ الإنسانِ.

28 D o not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice

«لا تَسْتَغرِبُوا هَذا: فَالوَقْتُ آتٍ حِيْنَ سَيَسْمَعُ كُلُّ الَّذِيْنَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ صَوْتَهُ.

29 a nd come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

فَيَخرُجُونَ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ، وَيَقُومُ الَّذِيْنَ عَمِلُوا ما هُوَ صالِحٌ لِكَيْ يَنالُوا الحَياةً، أمّا الَّذِيْنَ عَمِلُوا ما هُوَ شِرِّيْرٌ فَسَيَقُومُونَ لِكَيْ يُواجِهُوا الدَّيْنُونَةَ. الشَّهادَةُ لِيَسُوع

30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. The Fourfold Witness

«لَيْسَ فِي وُسْعِي أنْ أعمَلَ شَيْئاً مُسْتَقِلاً عَنِ الآبِ. فَأنا أحكُمُ حَسَبَ ما أسْمَعُ مِنَ الآبِ. وَحُكْمِي عادِلٌ، لِأنِّي لا أسْعَى إلَى عَمَلِ ما أُرِيْدُ، لَكِنِّي أعمَلُ إرادَةَ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي.

31 “ If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.

«لَوْ كُنْتُ أنا فَقَطْ أشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، فَشَهادَتِي لَيْسَتْ مَقْبُولَةً.

32 T here is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.

لَكِنْ غَيْرِي يَشْهَدُ لِي، وَأنا أعرِفُ أنَّ شَهادَتَهُ لِي مَقْبُولَةٌ.

33 Y ou have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

«لَقَدْ أرْسَلْتُمْ أُناساً إلَى يُوحَنّا، فَشَهِدَ لِلحَقِّ.

34 Y et I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved.

وَأنا لا أعتَمِدُ عَلَى شَهادَةٍ مِنْ بَشَرٍ، لَكِنِّي أقُولُ هَذا لِتَنالُوا أنتُمُ الخَلاصَ.

35 H e was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

كانَ يُوحَنّا مِصْباحاً يَشْتَعِلُ وَيُعْطِي نُوراً. وَأنتُمْ رَضِيْتُمْ بِأنْ تَتَمَتَّعُوا بِنُورِهِ بَعْضَ الوَقْتِ.

36 B ut I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

«لَكِنْ لِي شَهادَةٌ أعظَمُ مِنْ شَهادَةِ يُوحَنّا. فَقَدْ كَلَّفَنِي الآبُ بِأعمالٍ كَيْ أُنجِزَها، وَهِيَ أعمالِي الَّتِي أعمَلُها الآنَ. وَهَذِهِ الأعمالُ تَشْهَدُ لِيْ وَتُبَيِّنُ أنَّ الآبَ قَدْ أرْسَلَنِي.

37 A nd the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

«حَتَّى الآبُ نَفْسُهُ الَّذِي أرْسَلَنِي شَهِدَ لِيْ. لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ قَطُّ، وَلا رَأيْتُمْ هَيئَتَهُ.

38 B ut you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

وَلَسْتُمْ تَحفَظُونَ كَلِمَتَهُ فِي داخِلِكُمْ، لِأنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِالَّذِي أرْسَلَهُ.

39 Y ou search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

أنتُمْ تَجتَهِدُونَ فِي دِراسَةِ الكُتُبِ لِأنَّكُمْ تَعتَقِدُونَ أنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ فِيْها حَياةً أبَدِيَّةً، وَهِيَ نَفْسُها تَشْهَدُ لِيْ.

40 B ut you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

لَكِنَّكُمْ لا تُرِيْدُونَ أنْ تَأْتُوا إلَيَّ وَتَنالُوا هَذِهِ الحَياةَ.

41 “ I do not receive honor from men.

«أنا لا أسْعَى إلَى مَدِيْحٍ مِنْ بَشَرٍ.

42 B ut I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.

لَكِنِّي أعرِفُكُمْ وَأعرِفُ أنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ فِي داخِلِكُمْ.

43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

لَقَدْ جِئْتُ بِاسْمِ أبِي، لَكِنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أنْ تَقْبَلُونِي. لَكِنْ إنْ جاءَكُمْ شَخْصٌ آخَرُ بِاسْمِهِ الخاصِّ، فَإنَّكُمْ تَقْبَلُونَهُ.

44 H ow can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God?

فَكَيْفَ سَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِي، وَأنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ أنْ يَمْدَحَكُمُ الآخَرُونَ، أمّا المَدِيْحُ الَّذِي يَأْتِي مِنَ اللهِ الواحِدِ فَلا تَهْتَمُّونَ بِهِ؟

45 D o not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust.

«لا تَظُنُّوا أنِّي أنا سَأشْكُوكُمْ أمامَ الآبِ، فَالَّذِي سَيَشْكُوكُمْ هُوَ مُوسَى الَّذِي بَنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ آمالَكُمْ.

46 F or if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.

فَلَوْ أنَّكُمْ صَدَّقْتُمْ مُوسَى حَقّاً، لَصَدَّقْتُمُونِي أنا أيْضاً، لِأنَّ مُوسَى كَتَبَ عَنِّي.

47 B ut if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

لَكِنْ بِما أنَّكُمْ لا تُصَدِّقُونَ ما كَتَبَهُ، فَكَيْفَ سَتُصَدِّقُونَ كَلامِي؟»
