1 אַחַר הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה הָיָה חַג לַיְּהוּדִים וַיַּעַל יֵשׁוּעַ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם | 1 After these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
2 וּבִירוּשָׁלַיִם בְּרֵכָה קְרוֹבָה לְשַׁעַר הַצֹּאן וּשְׁמָהּ בְּלָשׁוֹן עִבְרִית בֵּית־חַסְדָּא וְלָהּ חֲמִשָּׁה אֻלַמִּים | 2 Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches. |
3 שָׁמָּה שָׁכְבוּ חוֹלִים וְעִוְרִים וּפִסְחִים וִיבֵשֵׁי־כֹחַ לָרֹב וְהֵמָּה מְיַחֲלִים לִתְנוּעַת הַמָּיִם | 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered; waiting for the moving of the water. |
4 כִּי מַלְאָךְ יָרַד בְּמוֹעֲדוֹ אֶל־הַבְּרֵכָה וַיַּרְעֵשׁ אֶת־מֵימֶיהָ וְהָיָה הַיֹּרֵד רִאשׁוֹן אֶל־תּוֹכָהּ אַחֲרֵי הִתְגֹּעֲשׁוּ הַמַּיִם הוּא נִרְפָּא מִכָּל־מַחֲלָה אֲשֶׁר דָּבְקָה בּוֹ | 4 And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. |
5 וְאִישׁ הָיָה שָׁם אֲשֶׁר חָלָה חָלְיוֹ זֶה שְׁלשִׁים וּשְׁמֹנֶה שָׁנָה | 5 And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity. |
6 וַיַּרְא אֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ שֹׁכֵב וַיֵּדַע כִּי אָרְכוּ־לוֹ יְמֵי חָלְיוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲתַחְפֹּץ לְהֵרָפֵא | 6 Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? |
7 וַיַּעַן הַחוֹלֶה אֲדֹנִי אֵין־אִישׁ אִתִּי אֲשֶׁר יַשְׁלִיכֵנִי בְּהֵרָעֵשׁ הַמַּיִם אֶל־הַבְּרֵכָה וּבְטֶרֶם אָבֹא וְיָרַד אַחֵר לְפָנָי | 7 The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. |
8 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ קוּם שָׂא אֶת־מִשְׁכָּבְךָ וְהִתְהַלֵּךְ | 8 Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. |
9 וּכְרֶגַע שָׁב הָאִישׁ לְאֵיתָנוֹ וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וַיִּתְהַלָּךְ וְהַיּוֹם הַהוּא יוֹם שַׁבָּת הָיָה | 9 And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. |
10 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַיְּהוּדִים אֶל־הָאִישׁ הַנִּרְפָּא שַׁבָּת הַיּוֹם אָסוּר לְךָ לָשֵׂאת אֶת־מִשְׁכָּבֶךָ | 10 The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. |
11 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם לֵאמֹר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱלִימַנִי הוּא אָמַר אֵלַי שָׂא אֶת־מִשְׁכָּבְךָ וְהִתְהַלֵּךְ | 11 He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. |
12 וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ מִי זֶה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אָמַר לְךָ שָׂא אֶת־מִשְׁכָּבְךָ וְהִתְהַלֵּךְ | 12 They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? |
13 וְהַנִּרְפָּא לֹא יָדַע מִי הוּא כִּי סָר יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֵּלַךְ בִּהְיוֹת הָמוֹן רַב בַּמָּקוֹם הַהוּא | 13 But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. |
14 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיִּמְצָאֵהוּ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה נִרְפָּא־לָךְ אַל־תּוֹסִיף לַחֲטֹא פֶּן־תְּאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה גְּדוֹלָה מִזֹּאת | 14 Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee. |
15 וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ וַיַּגֵּד לַיְּהוּדִים כִּי־יֵשׁוּעַ הוּא אֲשֶׁר רְפָאוֹ | 15 The man went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole. |
16 וְעַל־כֵּן רָדְפוּ הַיְּהוּדִים אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ הֲמִיתוֹ עַל־כִּי־עָשָׂה כָזֹאת בַּשַּׁבָּת | 16 Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. |
17 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ אָבִי פֹּעֵל עַד־עַתָּה וְגַם־אָנֹכִי פֹּעֵל | 17 But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work. |
18 אָז יוֹסִיפוּ הַיְּהוּדִים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ כִּי מִלְּבַד אֲשֶׁר חִלֵּל אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת עוֹד אָמַר כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים הוּא אָבִיו וַיִּדַּמֶּה לֵאלֹהִים | 18 Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God. |
19 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם לֹא־יוּכַל הַבֵּן לַעֲשׂוֹת דָּבָר מִנַּפְשׁוֹ בִּלְתִּי אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יִרְאֶה אֶת־אָבִיו עֹשֶׂה כִּי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עֹשֶׂה הוּא גַּם־הַבֵּן יַעֲשֶׂה כָּמֹהוּ | 19 Then Jesus answered, and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner. |
20 כִּי הָאָב אֹהֵב אֶת־הַבֵּן וּמַרְאֶה אֹתוֹ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה וְעוֹד מַעֲשִׂים גְּדוֹלִים מֵאֵלֶּה יַרְאֵהוּ לְמַעַן תִּתַּמָּהוּ | 20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. |
21 כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר הָאָב יָעִיר וִיחַיֶּה אֶת־הַמֵּתִים כֵּן גַּם־הַבֵּן יְחַיֶּה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר יֶחְפָּץ | 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. |
22 כִּי הָאָב לֹא־יָדִין אִישׁ כִּי אִם־כָּל־הַמִּשְׁפָּט נָתַן לַבֵּן לְמַעַן יְכַבְּדוּ כֻלָּם אֶת־הַבֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר יְכַבְּדוּ אֶת־הָאָב | 22 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son. |
23 מִי אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְכַבֵּד אֶת־הַבֵּן גַּם אֶת־הָאָב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ אֵינֶנּוּ מְכַבֵּד | 23 That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father, who hath sent him. |
24 אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם הַשֹּׁמֵעַ דְּבָרַי וּמַאֲמִין לְשֹׁלְחִי יֶשׁ־לוֹ חַיֵּי עוֹלָמִים וְלֹא יָבֹא בַּמִּשְׁפָּט כִּי־עָבַר מִמָּוֶת לַחַיִּים | 24 Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. |
25 אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי־תָבוֹא שָׁעָה וְעַתָּה הִיא אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁמְעוּ הַמֵּתִים אֶת־קוֹל בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים וְהַשֹּׁמְעִים חָיֹה יִחְיוּ | 25 Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. |
26 כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר לָאָב יֵשׁ חַיִּים בְּעַצְמוֹ כֵּן נָתַן גַּם־לַבֵּן לִהְיוֹת־לוֹ חַיִּים בְּעַצְמוֹ | 26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given the Son also to have life in himself: |
27 וְאַף־שָׁלְטָן נָתַן לוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּט כִּי בֶן־אָדָם הוּא | 27 And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. |
28 אַל־תִּתְמְהוּ עַל־זֹאת כִּי הִנֵּה שָׁעָה בָאָה אֲשֶׁר כָּל־שֹׁכְנֵי קֶבֶר אֶת־קוֹלוֹ יִשְׁמָעוּן | 28 Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. |
29 וְיֵצְאוּ עֹשֵׂי הַטּוֹב לִתְקוּמַת הַחַיִּים וְעֹשֵׂי הָרַע לִתְקוּמַת הַמִּשְׁפָּט | 29 And they that have done good things, shall come forth unto the resurrection of life; but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. |
30 לֹא אוּכַל לַעֲשׂוֹת דָּבָר מִנַּפְשִׁי כַּאֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁמַע כֵּן אֶשְׁפֹּט וּמִשְׁפָּטִי מִשְׁפַּט־צֶדֶק כִּי לֹא אֲבַקֵּשׁ רְצוֹנִי כִּי אִם־רְצוֹן הָאָב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי | 30 I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. |
31 אִם־אָנֹכִי מֵעִיד עָלָי עֵדוּתִי אֵינֶנָּה נֶאֱמָנָה | 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. |
32 יֵשׁ אַחֵר הַמֵּעִיד עָלָי וְיָדַעְתִּי כִּי עֵדוּתוֹ אֲשֶׁר־הוּא מֵעִיד עָלַי נֶאֱמָנָה הִיא | 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. |
33 אַתֶּם שְׁלַחְתֶּם אֶל־יוֹחָנָן וְהוּא הֵעִיד עַל־הָאֱמֶת | 33 You sent to John, and he gave testimony to the truth. |
34 וַאֲנִי אֵינֶנִּי לֹקֵחַ עֵדוּת מֵאָדָם אַךְ אָמַרְתִּי זֹאת לְמַעַן תִּוָּשֵׁעוּן | 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved. |
35 הוּא הָיָה הַנֵּר הַדֹּלֵק וְהַמֵּאִיר וְאַתֶּם רְצִיתֶם לָשֹוּשׂ כְּשָׁעָה לְאוֹרוֹ | 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. |
36 וַאֲנִי יֶשׁ־לִי עֵדוּת גְּדוֹלָה מֵעֵדוּת יוֹחָנָן כִּי הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר נָתַן־לִי אָבִי לְהַשְׁלִימָם הַמַּעֲשִׂים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה מְעִידִים עָלַי כִּי הָאָב שְׁלָחָנִי | 36 But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect; the works themselves, which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me. |
37 וְהָאָב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחַנִי הוּא מֵעִיד עָלָי וְאַתֶּם אֶת־קוֹלוֹ לֹא־שְׁמַעְתֶּם מֵעוֹלָם וּתְמוּנָתוֹ לֹא רְאִיתֶם | 37 And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. |
38 וּדְבָרוֹ אֵינֶנּוּ שֹׁכֵן בְּקִרְבְּכֶם כִּי אֵינְכֶם מַאֲמִינִים לִשְׁלוּחוֹ | 38 And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. |
39 דִּרְשׁוּ בַכְּתוּבִים אֲשֶׁר תַּחְשְׁבוּ שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָכֶם חַיֵּי עוֹלָמִים בָּהֶם וְהֵמָּה הַמְּעִידִים עָלָי | 39 Search the scriptures, for you think in them to have life everlasting; and the same are they that give testimony of me. |
40 וְאַתֶּם אֵינְכֶם אֹבִים לָבוֹא אֵלָי לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם חַיִּים | 40 And you will not come to me that you may have life. |
41 לֹא־אֶקַּח כָּבוֹד מִבְּנֵי אָדָם | 41 I receive glory not from men. |
42 אָכֵן יָדַעְתִּי אֶתְכֶם כִּי אֵין־אַהֲבַת אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבְּכֶם | 42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. |
43 אֲנִי הִנֵּה בָאתִי בְּשֵׁם אָבִי וְלֹא קִבַּלְתֶּם אֹתִי וְאִם־יָבֹא אַחֵר בְּשֵׁם עַצְמוֹ אֹתוֹ תְקַבֵּלוּ | 43 I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. |
44 אֵיךְ תּוּכְלוּ לְהַאֲמִין אַתֶּם הַלֹּקְחִים כָּבוֹד אִישׁ מֵרֵעֵהוּ וְאֶת־הַכָּבוֹד אֲשֶׁר מֵאֵת־הָאֱלֹהִים הַיָּחִיד לֹא תְבַקֵּשׁוּ | 44 How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek? |
45 אַל־תַּחְשְׁבוּ כִּי אָנֹכִי אֶטְעַן נֶגְדְכֶם לִפְנֵי אָבִי משֶׁה הוּא הַטֹּעֵן נֶגְדְכֶם אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ תְּיַחֵלוּ | 45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. |
46 כִּי לוּ הֶאֱמַנְתֶּם לְמשֶׁה גַּם־לִי תַאֲמִינוּ כִּי הוּא כָּתַב עָלָי | 46 For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also; for he wrote of me. |
47 וְאִם־לִכְתָבָיו אֵינְכֶם מַאֲמִינִים אֵיכָה לִדְבָרַי תַּאֲמִינוּ | 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? |
