1ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀
1After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܚܤܕܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܤܛܘܝܢ ܀
2Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda,” having five porches.
3ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܤܡܝܐ ܘܚܓܝܤܐ ܘܝܒܝܫܐ ܘܡܤܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܀
3In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
4ܡܠܐܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܙܒܢ ܙܒܢ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܘܡܙܝܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܝܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܙܘܥܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܡܬܚܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܟܐܒܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀
4for 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 made whole of whatever disease he had.
5ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܀
5A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
6ܠܗܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܪܡܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܬܬܚܠܡ ܀
6When 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?”
7ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܡܝܐ ܢܪܡܝܢܝ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܕ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܢܚܬ ܀
7The 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.”
8ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܘܡ ܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀
8Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
9ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܬܚܠܡ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܩܡ ܫܩܠ ܥܪܤܗ ܘܗܠܟ ܘܗܘ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܀
9Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
10ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܫܒܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܟ ܕܬܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܀
10So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
11ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕܢܝ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܕܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀
11He answered them, “He who made me well, the same said to me, ‘Take up your mat, and walk.’ ”
12ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܕܫܩܘܠ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܗܠܟ ܀
12Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat, and walk’ ?”
13ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܓܢܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܝ ܀
13But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
14ܒܬܪ ܙܒܢ ܐܫܟܚܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܚܠܝܡ ܐܢܬ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܚܛܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܀
14Afterward 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.”
15ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܚܠܡܗ ܀
15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܪܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܀
16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
17ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܒܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܀
17But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
18ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܒܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܫܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
18For 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.
19ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܒܪܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܒܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܥܒܕ ܀
19Jesus 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.
20ܐܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܚܡ ܠܒܪܗ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܗ ܘܕܝܬܝܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܀
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.
21ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܒܐ ܡܩܝܡ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܚܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܡܚܐ ܀
21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
22ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܗܒܗ ܠܒܪܐ ܀
22 For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
23ܕܟܠܢܫ ܢܝܩܪ ܠܒܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܡܝܩܪ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܗ ܀
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.
24ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܕܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܫܢܝ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܀
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.
25ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܢܚܘܢ ܀
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.
26ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐܒܐ ܐܝܬ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܦ ܠܒܪܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܀
26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
27ܘܐܫܠܛܗ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܕܝܢܐ ܀
27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
28ܕܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܩܒܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ ܀
28 Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
29ܘܢܦܩܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܀
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.
30ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܕܝܢܝ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀
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.
31ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܀
31 “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
32ܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܀
32 It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
33ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܕܪܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܫܪܪܐ ܀
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܚܘܢ ܀
34 But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
35ܗܘ ܫܪܓܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܕܠܩ ܘܡܢܗܪ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܨܒܝܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܒܗܪܘܢ ܕܫܥܬܐ ܒܢܘܗܪܗ ܀
35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
36ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܕܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܫܠܚܢܝ ܀
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.
37ܘܐܒܐ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ ܗܘ ܤܗܕ ܥܠܝ ܠܐ ܩܠܗ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘܗ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܀
37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
38ܘܡܠܬܗ ܠܐ ܡܩܘܝܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܗܘ ܕܗܘ ܫܕܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
38 You don’t have his word living in you; because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
39ܒܨܘ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܀
39 “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
40ܘܠܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܐܬܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
41ܫܘܒܚܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܐ ܀
41 I don’t receive glory from men.
42ܐܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܟܘܢ ܕܚܘܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܀
42 But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
43ܐܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܫܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܗܘ ܬܩܒܠܘܢ ܀
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.
44ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45ܠܡܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܟܠ ܐܢܐ ܩܪܨܝܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܝܟܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܤܒܪܬܘܢ ܀
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.
46ܐܠܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܘܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝ ܟܬܒ ܀
46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47ܘܐܢ ܠܟܬܒܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܠܡܠܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܀
47 But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
