¹After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹Rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy andro firavoravoan'ny Jiosy, ary Jesosy niakatra tany Jerosalema.

²Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.

²Ary misy farihy any Jerosalema, eo akaikin'ny vavahadin'ondry, izay atao amin'ny teny Hebreo hoe Betesda, misy fialofana dimy.

³In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water.

³Tao no nandrian'ny marary maro, ny jamba, ny mandringa, ny mati-ila. [Gr. efa maina, na malazo. Ampio hoe: [miandry ny fihetsehan'ny rano]

⁴For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.]

⁴[Fa nisy anjely nidina tany amin'ny farihy indraindray ka nampihetsika ny rano; koa izay iray niroboka aloha, rehefa nihetsika ny rano, dia sitrana na inona na inona no aretina nanjo azy]

⁵But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years.

⁵Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray teo, izay efa narary valo amby telo-polo taona.

⁶Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well?

⁶Raha nahita azy mandry Jesosy ka nahalala fa efa toy izany ela izy, dia hoy Izy taminy: Te-ho sitrana va ianao?

⁷The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me.

⁷Ilay marary namaly Azy hoe: Tompoko, raha hetsehina ny rano, dia tsy mba misy olona handroboka ahy eto amin'ny farihy; nefa raha mandeha aho, dia misy olon-kafa misosoka eo alohako.

⁸Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk.

⁸Hoy Jesosy taminy: Mitsangana, ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana.

⁹And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath.

⁹Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia sitrana ralehilahy ka nitondra ny fandriany, dia lasa nandeha. Ary Sabata izay andro izay.

¹⁰The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch.

¹⁰Dia hoy ny Jiosy tamin'ilay efa sitrana: Sabata ny andro, ka tsy mety raha mitondra ny fandrianao ianao.

¹¹He answered them, He that made me well, *he* said to me, Take up thy couch and walk.

¹¹Fa ralehilahy namaly azy hoe: Ilay nahasitrana ahy no nanao tamiko hoe: Ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana.

¹²They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk?

¹²Ary ireo nanontany azy hoe: Iza moa izany Lehilahy izany Izay nanao taminao hoe: Ento ny fandrianao, ka mandehana?

¹³But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place.

¹³Fa ilay sitrana tsy nahalala Ary; fa niala teo Jesosy, satria nisy vahoaka betsaka teo.

¹⁴After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee.

¹⁴Rehefa afaka izany, dia hitan'i Jesosy teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly ralehilahy, ka hoy Izy taminy: Indro, efa sitrana ianao; aza manota intsony, fandrao hanjo anao izay ratsy noho ny teo.

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

¹⁵Dia lasa ralehilahy ka nanambara tamin'ny Jiosy fa Jesosy no nahasitrana azy.

¹⁶And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.

¹⁶Ary noho izany ny Jiosy dia nanenjika an'i Jesosy, satria nanao izany zavatra izany tamin'ny Sabata Izy.

¹⁷But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

¹⁷Fa Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Ny Raiko miasa mandraka ankehitriny, ary Izaho koa miasa.

¹⁸For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁸Nefa vao mainka nitady hamono Azy ny Jiosy, tsy noho ny namahany ny amin'ny Sabata ihany, fa noho ny nilazany koa fa Andriamanitra no Rainy, ka nanao ny tenany ho mitovy amin'Andriamanitra Izy.

¹⁹Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these things also the Son does in like manner.

¹⁹Ary Jesosy namaly ka nanao taminy hoe: Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Ny Zanaka tsy mahazo manao na inona na inona ho Azy, afa-tsy izay hitany ataon'ny Ray; fa na inona na inona no ataon'ny Ray dia toy izany koa no ataon'ny Zanaka.

²⁰For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder.

²⁰Fa ny Ray tia ny Zanaka ka maneho Azy ny zavatra rehetra izay ataon'ny tenany; ary asa lehibe noho ireny no hasehony Azy, mba ho gaga ianareo.

²¹For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

²¹Fa toy ny Ray manangana sy mamelona ny maty, dia tahaka izany koa no ameloman'ny Zanaka izay tiany.

²²for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son;

²²Fa ny Ray aza tsy mitsara olona, fa ny fitsarana rehetra dia nomeny ny Zanaka,

²³that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him.

²³mba hanajan'ny olona rehetra ny Zanaka, tahaka ny fanajany ny Ray. Izay tsy manaja ny Zanaka dia tsy manaja ny Ray, Izay naniraka Azy.

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.

²⁴Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Izay mandre ny teniko ka mino Izay naniraka Ahy no manana fiainana mandrakizay, ka tsy hohelohina; fa tafafindra niala tamin'ny fahafatesana ho amin'ny fiainana izy. [Gr. hotsaraina]

²⁵Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

²⁵Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Avy ny andro ary tonga ankehitriny, izay handrenesan'ny maty ny feon'ny Zanak'Andriamanitra; ary izay mandre dia ho velona. [Gr. ora]

²⁶For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,

²⁶Fa tahaka ny Ray manana fiainana ho Azy, dia tahaka izany koa ny Zanaka nomeny hanana fiainana ho Azy;

²⁷and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.

²⁷ary nomeny fahefana hitsara Izy, satria Zanak'olona.

²⁸Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁸Aza gaga amin'izany; fa avy ny andro izay handrenesan'ny olona rehetra any am-pasana ny feony; [Gr. ora]

²⁹and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment.

²⁹dia hivoaka izy: izay nanao tsara dia ho any amin'ny fitsanganana ho fiainana fa izay nanao ratsy kosa dia ho any amin'fitsanganana ho fahamelohana. [Gr. ho fitsarana]

³⁰I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me.

³⁰Raha Izaho ihany, dia tsy mahay manao na inona na inona; araka izay reko no itsarako; ary marina ny fitsarako; fa tsy mitady ny sitrapoko Aho, fa ny sitrapon'izay naniraka Ahy.

³¹If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true.

³¹Raha Izaho no manambara ny tenako, dia tsy marina ny fanambarako.

³²It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true.

³²Misy Anankiray Izay manambara Ahy. ary fantatro fa marina ny fanambarana izay anambarany Ahy.

³³Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

³³Hianareo naniraka tany amin'i Jaona, ary nanambara ny marina izy.

³⁴But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that *ye* might be saved.

³⁴Fa Izaho tsy mandray ny fanambarana avy amin'olona; fa milaza izany zavatra izany Aho mba ho voavonjy ianareo.

³⁵*He* was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

³⁵Izy dia jiro nirehitra ka nazava; ary nahafinaritra anareo ny nifalianareo vetivety tamin'faharavany.

³⁶But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me.

³⁶Fa Izaho kosa manana fanambarana lehibe noho Jaona; fa ny asa nomen'ny Ahy hovitaiko, dia izany asa ataoko izany no manambara Ahy fa nirahin'ny Ray.

³⁷And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape,

³⁷Ary ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy, Izy no nanambara Ahy. Tsy mba renareo ny feony, na hitanareo akory aza ny endriny,

³⁸and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom *he* hath sent, him ye do not believe.

³⁸ary ny teniny tsy mba mitoetra ao anatinareo, satria tsy mino Izay nirahiny ianareo.

³⁹Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me;

³⁹Dinihinareo ny Soratra Masina, ataonareo fa ao aminy no anananareo fiainana mandrakizay, ary ireny no manambara Ahy. [Na: Diniho]

⁴⁰and ye will not come to me that ye might have life.

⁴⁰Kanefa tsy mety manatona Ahy ianareo hanananareo fiainana.

⁴¹I do not receive glory from men,

⁴¹Tsy mandray laza avy amin'olona

⁴²but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

⁴²Fa fantatro ianareo, fa tsy misy fitiavana an'Andriamanitra ao am-ponareo.

⁴³I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

⁴³Izaho dia avy amin'ny anaran'ny Raiko, nefa tsy raisinareo; raha misy hafa avy amin'ny anaran'ny tenany, dia horaisinareo ihany izy.

⁴⁴How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone?

⁴⁴Hataonareo izay mifampitady laza ahoana no fino, nefa ny laza avy amin'ny Andriamanitra Tokana kosa dia tsy tadiavinareo?

⁴⁵Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust;

⁴⁵Aza ataonareo fa Izaho no hiampanga anareo amin'ny Ray; misy ny mpiampanga anareo, dia Mosesy izay itokianareo.

⁴⁶for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me.

⁴⁶Fa raha mba nino an'i Mosesy ianareo, dia hino Ahy, satria nanoratra nilaza Ahy izy.Fa raha tsy mino izay nosoratany ianareo, hataonareo ahoana no fino ny teniko?

⁴⁷But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

⁴⁷Fa raha tsy mino izay nosoratany ianareo, hataonareo ahoana no fino ny teniko?
