John 5

1 Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

1 وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ صَعِدَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَحَدِ الأَعْيَادِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ،

2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.

2 وَكَانَ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنْ بَابِ الْغَنَمِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بِرْكَةٌ اسْمُهَا بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ بَيْتُ حِسْدَا، حَوْلَهَا خَمْسُ قَاعَاتٍ.

3 On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.

3 يَرْقُدُ فِيهَا جَمْعٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى مِنْ عُمْيَانٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَمَشْلُولِينَ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَنْ تَتَحَرَّكَ مِيَاهُ الْبِرْكَةِ،

4

4 لأَنَّ مَلاكاً كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنْ حِينٍ لِآخَرَ إِلَى الْبِرْكَةِ وَيُحَرِّكُ مَاءَهَا، فَكَانَ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ أَوَّلاً يُشْفَى، مَهْمَا كَانَ مَرَضُهُ.

5 One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

5 وَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْبِرْكَةِ مَرِيضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً،

6 When 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?”

6 رَآهُ يَسُوعُ رَاقِداً هُنَاكَ فَعَرَفَ أَنَّ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً انْقَضَتْ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ، فَسَأَلَهُ: «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُشْفَى؟»

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.”

7 فَأَجَابَهُ الْمَرِيضُ: «يَا سَيِّدُ، لَيْسَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ يُلْقِينِي فِي الْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ الْمَاءُ. وَكَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ حَاوَلْتُ النُّزُولَ، فَكَانَ غَيْرِي يَنْزِلُ قَبْلِي دَائِماً».

8 Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

8 فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قُمِ احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ».

9 Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,

9 وَفِي الْحَالِ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ وَحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ سَبْتٍ.

10 so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”

10 فَقَالَ الْيَهُودُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي شُفِيَ: «الْيَوْمَ سَبْتٌ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فِرَاشَكَ!»

11 But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

11 فَأَجَابَهُمْ: «الَّذِي أَعَادَ إِلَيَّ الصِّحَّةَ هُوَ قَالَ لِي: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ».

12 “Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.

12 فَسَأَلُوهُ: «وَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: احْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ؟»

13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.

13 وَلكِنَّ الْمَرِيضَ الَّذِي شُفِيَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ، لأَنَّ يَسُوعَ كَانَ قَدِ ابْتَعَدَ، إِذْ كَانَ فِي الْمَكَانِ جَمْعٌ.

14 Afterward, 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.”

14 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَجَدَهُ يَسُوعُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ عُدْتَ صَحِيحاً فَلا تَرْجِعْ إِلَى الْخَطِيئَةِ لِئَلّا يُصِيبَكَ مَا هُوَ أَسْوَأُ!»

15 And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

15 فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ الَّذِي شَفَاهُ، أَسْرَعَ يُخْبِرُ الْيَهُودَ بِذلِكَ.

16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.

16 فَأَخَذَ الْيَهُودُ يُضَايِقُونَ يَسُوعَ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ هذِهِ الأَعْمَالَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

17 But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

17 وَلكِنَّ يَسُوعَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَازَالَ أَبِي يَعْمَلُ إِلَى الآنَ. وَأَنَا أَيْضاً أَعْمَلُ!»

18 Because 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.

18 لِهَذَا ازْدَادَ سَعْيُ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى قَتْلِهِ، لَيْسَ فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ خَالَفَ سُنَّةَ السَّبْتِ، بَلْ أَيْضاً لأَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَبُوهُ، مُسَاوِياً نَفْسَهُ بِاللهِ.

19 So 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.

19 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الاِبْنَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَرَى الآبَ يَفْعَلُهُ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ الآبُ، يَعْمَلُهُ الاِبْنُ كَذلِكَ،

20 The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.

20 لأَنَّ الآبَ يُحِبُّ الاِبْنَ، وَيُرِيهِ جَمِيعَ مَا يَفْعَلُهُ، وَسَيُرِيهِ أَيْضاً أَعْمَالاً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَمَلِ، فَتُدْهَشُونَ.

21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

21 فَكَمَا يُقِيمُ الآبُ الْمَوْتَى وَيُحْيِيهِمْ، كَذلِكَ يُحْيِي الاِبْنُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ.

22 Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

22 وَالآبُ لَا يُحَاكِمُ أَحَداً، بَلْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ سُلْطَةَ الْقَضَاءِ كُلَّهَا،

23 so 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.

23 لِيُكْرِمَ الْجَمِيعُ الاِبْنَ كَمَا يُكْرِمُونَ الآبَ. وَمَنْ لَا يُكْرِمِ الاِبْنَ لَا يُكْرِمِ الآبَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.

24 Truly, 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.

24 الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعْ كَلامِي وَيُؤْمِنْ بِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي تَكُنْ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، وَلا يُحَاكَمْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَخِيرِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ.

25 Truly, 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.

25 الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا الأَمْوَاتُ صَوْتَ ابْنِ اللهِ سَتَأْتِي بَلْ هِيَ الآنَ وَالَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَهُ يَحْيَوْنَ.

26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

26 لأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ لِلآبِ حَيَاةً فِي ذَاتِهِ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَى الاِبْنَ أَيْضاً أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ حَيَاةٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ،

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

27 وَأَعْطَاهُ سُلْطَةً أَنْ يَدِينَ، لأَنَّهُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ.

28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice

28 لَا تَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ هَذَا: فَسَوْفَ تَأْتِي سَاعَةٌ يَسْمَعُ فِيهَا جَمِيعُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ صَوْتَهُ،

29 and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

29 فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا: فَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يَخْرُجُونَ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ فَفِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الدَّيْنُونَةِ.

30 I 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.

30 وَأَنَا لَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَاتِي، بَلْ أَحْكُمُ حَسْبَمَا أَسْمَعُ، وَحُكْمِي عَادِلٌ، لأَنِّي لَا أَسْعَى لِتَحْقِيقِ إِرَادَتِي بَلْ إِرَادَةِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي.

31 If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.

31 لَوْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، لَكَانَتْ شَهَادَتِي غَيْرَ صَادِقَةٍ،

32 There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.

32 وَلكِنْ غَيْرِي يَشْهَدُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ لِي هِيَ حَقٌّ.

33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

33 وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُمْ رُسُلاً إِلَى يُوحَنَّا فَشَهِدَ لِلْحَقِّ.

34 Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.

34 وَأَنَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لَا لأَنِّي أَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَلاصِكُمْ،

35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

35 فَقَدْ كَانَ يُوحَنَّا مِصْبَاحاً مُتَوَهِّجاً مُضِيئاً، وَشِئْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِنُورِهِ فَتْرَةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

36 But 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.

36 وَلكِنَّ لِي شَهَادَةً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ يُوحَنَّا، وَهِيَ شَهَادَةُ الأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي كَلَّفَنِي الآبُ أَنْ أُنْجِزَهَا وَالَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا، فَهِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي مُبَيِّنَةً أَنَّ الآبَ أَرْسَلَنِي،

37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,

37 وَالآبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضاً يَشْهَدُ لِي. وَأَنْتُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَهُ قَطُّ، وَلا رَأَيْتُمْ هَيْئَتَهُ،

38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

38 وَلا ثَبَتَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، بِدَلِيلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.

39 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

39 أَنْتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ الْكُتُبَ لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْتَقِدُونَ أَنَّهَا سَتَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. هذِهِ الْكُتُبُ تَشْهَدُ لِي،

40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

40 وَلكِنَّكُمْ تَرْفُضُونَ أَنْ تَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ.

41 I do not accept glory from men,

41 لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ مَجْداً مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّاسِ.

42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

42 وَلكِنِّي أَعْرِفُكُمْ، وَأَعْرِفُ أَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ.

43 I 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.

43 فَقَدْ جِئْتُ بِاسْمِ أَبِي وَلَمْ تَقْبَلُونِي، وَلكِنَّكُمْ تُرَحِّبُونَ بِمَنْ يَجِيءُ بِاسْمِ نَفْسِهِ.

44 How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

44 مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِي وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْبَلُونَ الْمَجْدَ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، دُونَ أَنْ تَسْعَوْا فِي طَلَبِ الْمَجْدِ الَّذِي لَا يَمْنَحُهُ إِلّا اللهُ!

45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.

45 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي أَشْكُوكُمْ إِلَى الآبِ، فَإِنَّ هُنَالِكَ مَنْ يَشْكُوكُمْ، وَهُوَ مُوسَى الَّذِي عَلَّقْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَجَاءَكُمْ.

46 If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.

46 فَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمْ مُوسَى، لَكُنْتُمْ صَدَّقْتُمُونِي، لأَنَّهُ هُوَ كَتَبَ عَنِّي.

47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”

47 وَإذَا كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ مَا كَتَبَهُ مُوسَى، فَكَيْفَ تُصَدِّقُونَ كَلامِي؟»
