Vangelo secondo Giovanni - John 5

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Μετα ταυτα ητο εορτην των Ιουδαιων, και ανεβη ο Ιησους εις Ιεροσολυμα.	1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Ειναι δε εν τοις Ιεροσολυμοις πλησιον της προβατικης πυλης κολυμβηθρα, η επονομαζομενη Εβραιστι Βηθεσδα, εχουσα πεντε στοας.	2 Now in Jerusalem next to the Sheep Pool there is a pool called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has fiveporticos;
3 Εν ταυταις κατεκειτο πληθος πολυ των ασθενουντων, τυφλων, χωλων, ξηρων, οιτινες περιεμενον την κινησιν του υδατος.	3 and under these were crowds of sick people, blind, lame, paralysed.
4 Διοτι αγγελος κατεβαινε κατα καιρον εις την κολυμβηθραν και εταραττε το υδωρ? οστις λοιπον εισηρχετο πρωτος μετα την ταραχην του υδατος, εγινετο υγιης απο οποιανδηποτε νοσον επασχεν.	4
5 Ητο δε εκει ανθρωπος τις τριακοντα οκτω ετη πασχων ασθενειαν.	5 One man there had an il ness which had lasted thirty-eight years,
6 Τουτον ιδων ο Ιησους κατακειμενον, και εξευρων οτι πολυν ηδη καιρον πασχει, λεγει προς αυτον? Θελεις να γεινης υγιης;	6 and when Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had been in that condition for a long time, he said,'Do you want to be wel again?'
7 Απεκριθη προς αυτον ο ασθενων? Κυριε, ανθρωπον δεν εχω, δια να με βαλη εις την κολυμβηθραν, οταν ταραχθη το υδωρ? ενω δε ερχομαι εγω, αλλος προ εμου καταβαινει.	7 'Sir,' replied the sick man, 'I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is disturbed; and while Iam stil on the way, someone else gets down there before me.'
8 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Εγερθητι, σηκωσον τον κραββατον σου και περιπατει.	8 Jesus said, 'Get up, pick up your sleeping-mat and walk around.'
9 Και ευθυς εγεινεν ο ανθρωπος υγιης και εσηκωσε τον κραββατον αυτου, και περιεπατει. Ητο δε σαββατον εκεινην την ημεραν.	9 The man was cured at once, and he picked up his mat and started to walk around. Now that dayhappened to be the Sabbath,
10 Ελεγον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι προς τον τεθεραπευμενον? Σαββατον ειναι? Δεν σοι ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να σηκωσης τον κραββατον.	10 so the Jews said to the man who had been cured, 'It is the Sabbath; you are not al owed to carry yoursleeping-mat.'
11 Απεκριθη προς αυτους? Ο ιατρευσας με, εκεινος μοι ειπε? Σηκωσον τον κραββατον σου, και περιπατει.	11 He replied, 'But the man who cured me told me, "Pick up your sleeping-mat and walk around." '
12 Ηρωτησαν λοιπον αυτον? Τις ειναι ο ανθρωπος, οστις σοι ειπε, Σηκωσον τον κραββατον σου και περιπατει;	12 They asked, 'Who is the man who said to you, "Pick up your sleeping-mat and walk around"? '
13 Ο δε ιατρευθεις δεν ηξευρε τις ειναι? διοτι ο Ιησους υπεξηλθεν, επειδη ητο οχλος πολυς εν τω τοπω.	13 The man had no idea who it was, since Jesus had disappeared, as the place was crowded.
14 Μετα ταυτα ευρισκει αυτον ο Ιησους εν τω ιερω και ειπε προς αυτον? Ιδου, εγεινες υγιης? μηκετι αμαρτανε, δια να μη σοι γεινη τι χειροτερον.	14 After a while Jesus met him in the Temple and said, 'Now you are wel again, do not sin any more, orsomething worse may happen to you.'
15 Υπηγε λοιπον ο ανθρωπος και ανηγγειλε προς τους Ιουδαιους οτι ο Ιησους ειναι ο ιατρευσας αυτον.	15 The man went back and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 Και δια τουτο κατετρεχον τον Ιησουν οι Ιουδαιοι και εζητουν να θανατωσωσιν αυτον, διοτι εκαμνε ταυτα εν σαββατω.	16 It was because he did things like this on the Sabbath that the Jews began to harass Jesus.
17 Ο δε Ιησους απεκριθη προς αυτους? Ο Πατηρ μου εργαζεται εως τωρα, και εγω εργαζομαι.	17 His answer to them was, 'My Father stil goes on working, and I am at work, too.'
18 Δια τουτο λοιπον μαλλον εζητουν οι Ιουδαιοι να θανατωσωσιν αυτον, διοτι ουχι μονον παρεβαινε το σαββατον, αλλα και Πατερα εαυτου ελεγε τον Θεον, ισον με τον Θεον καμνων εαυτον.	18 But that only made the Jews even more intent on kil ing him, because not only was he breaking theSabbath, but he spoke of God as his own Father and so made himself God's equal.
19 Απεκριθη λοιπον ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους? Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω, δεν δυναται ο Υιος να πραττη ουδεν αφ' εαυτου, εαν δεν βλεπη τον Πατερα πραττοντα τουτο? επειδη οσα εκεινος πραττει, ταυτα και ο Υιος πραττει ομοιως.	19 To this Jesus replied: In al truth I tel you, by himself the Son can do nothing; he can do only what hesees the Father doing: and whatever the Father does the Son does too.
20 Διοτι ο Πατηρ αγαπα τον Υιον και δεικνυει εις αυτον παντα οσα αυτος πραττει, και μεγαλητερα τουτων εργα θελει δειξει εις αυτον, δια να θαυμαζητε σεις.	20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he himself does, and he wil show him evengreater things than these, works that will astonish you.
21 Επειδη καθως ο Πατηρ εγειρει τους νεκρους και ζωοποιει, ουτω και ο Υιος ουστινας θελει ζωοποιει.	21 Thus, as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses;
22 Επειδη ουδε κρινει ο Πατηρ ουδενα, αλλ' εις τον Υιον εδωκε πασαν την κρισιν,	22 for the Father judges no one; he has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
23 δια να τιμωσι παντες τον Υιον καθως τιμωσι τον Πατερα. Ο μη τιμων τον Υιον δεν τιμα τον Πατερα τον πεμψαντα αυτον.	23 so that al may honour the Son as they honour the Father. Whoever refuses honour to the Son refuseshonour to the Father who sent him.
24 Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω οτι ο ακουων τον λογον μου και πιστευων εις τον πεμψαντα με εχει ζωην αιωνιον, και εις κρισιν δεν ερχεται, αλλα μετεβη εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην.	24 In al truth I tel you, whoever listens to my words, and believes in the one who sent me, has eternallife; without being brought to judgement such a person has passed from death to life.
25 Αληθως, αληθως σας λεγω οτι ερχεται ωρα, και ηδη ειναι, οτε οι νεκροι θελουσιν ακουσει την φωνην του Υιου του Θεου, και οι ακουσαντες θελουσι ζησει.	25 In al truth I tel you, the hour is coming -- indeed it is already here -- when the dead wil hear the voiceof the Son of God, and al who hear it wil live.
26 Διοτι καθως ο Πατηρ εχει ζωην εν εαυτω, ουτως εδωκε και εις τον Υιον να εχη ζωην εν εαυτω?	26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself;
27 και εξουσιαν εδωκεν εις αυτον να καμνη και κρισιν, διοτι ειναι Υιος ανθρωπου.	27 and, because he is the Son of man, has granted him power to give judgement.
28 Μη θαυμαζετε τουτο? διοτι ερχεται ωρα, καθ' ην παντες οι εν τοις μνημειοις θελουσιν ακουσει την φωνην αυτου,	28 Do not be surprised at this, for the hour is coming when the dead wil leave their graves at the sound ofhis voice:
29 και θελουσιν εξελθει οι πραξαντες τα αγαθα εις αναστασιν ζωης, οι δε πραξαντες τα φαυλα εις αναστασιν κρισεως.	29 those who did good will come forth to life; and those who did evil will come forth to judgement.
30 Δεν δυναμαι εγω να καμνω απ' εμαυτου ουδεν. Καθως ακουω κρινω, και η κρισις η εμη δικαια ειναι? διοτι δεν ζητω το θελημα το εμον, αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με Πατρος.	30 By myself I can do nothing; I can judge only as I am told to judge, and my judging is just, because Iseek to do not my own wil but the wil of him who sent me.
31 Εαν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου, η μαρτυρια μου δεν ειναι αληθης.	31 Were I to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be true;
32 Αλλος ειναι ο μαρτυρων περι εμου, και εξευρω οτι ειναι αληθης η μαρτυρια, την οποιαν μαρτυρει περι εμου.	32 but there is another witness who speaks on my behalf, and I know that his testimony is true.
33 Σεις απεστειλατε προς τον Ιωαννην, και εμαρτυρησεν εις την αληθειαν?	33 You sent messengers to John, and he gave his testimony to the truth-
34 εγω δε παρα ανθρωπου δεν λαμβανω την μαρτυριαν, αλλα λεγω ταυτα δια να σωθητε σεις.	34 not that I depend on human testimony; no, it is for your salvation that I mention it.
35 Εκεινος ητο ο λυχνος ο καιομενος και φεγγων, και σεις ηθελησατε να αγαλλιασθητε προς ωραν εις το φως αυτου.	35 John was a lamp lit and shining and for a time you were content to enjoy the light that he gave.
36 Αλλ' εγω εχω την μαρτυριαν μεγαλητεραν της του Ιωαννου? διοτι τα εργα, τα οποια μοι εδωκεν ο Πατηρ δια να τελειωσω αυτα, αυτα τα εργα, τα οποια εγω πραττω, μαρτυρουσι περι εμου οτι ο Πατηρ με απεστειλε?	36 But my testimony is greater than John's: the deeds my Father has given me to perform, these samedeeds of mine testify that the Father has sent me.
37 και ο πεμψας με Πατηρ, αυτος εμαρτυρησε περι εμου. Ουτε φωνην αυτου ηκουσατε πωποτε ουτε οψιν αυτου ειδετε.	37 Besides, the Father who sent me bears witness to me himself. You have never heard his voice, youhave never seen his shape,
38 Και τον λογον αυτου δεν εχετε μενοντα εν εαυτοις, διοτι σεις δεν πιστευετε εις τουτον, τον οποιον εκεινος απεστειλεν.	38 and his word finds no home in you because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent.
39 Ερευνατε τας γραφας, διοτι σεις νομιζετε οτι εν αυταις εχετε ζωην αιωνιον? και εκειναι ειναι αι μαρτυρουσαι περι εμου?	39 You pore over the scriptures, believing that in them you can find eternal life; it is these scriptures thattestify to me,
40 πλην δεν θελετε να ελθητε προς εμε, δια να εχητε ζωην.	40 and yet you refuse to come to me to receive life!
41 Δοξαν παρα ανθρωπων δεν λαμβανω?	41 Human glory means nothing to me.
42 αλλα σας εγνωρισα οτι την αγαπην του Θεου δεν εχετε εν εαυτοις?	42 Besides, I know you too well: you have no love of God in you.
43 εγω ηλθον εν τω ονοματι του Πατρος μου, και δεν με δεχεσθε? εαν αλλος ελθη εν τω ονοματι εαυτου, εκεινον θελετε δεχθη.	43 I have come in the name of my Father and you refuse to accept me; if someone else should come inhis own name you would accept him.
44 Πως δυνασθε σεις να πιστευσητε, οιτινες λαμβανετε δοξαν ο εις παρα του αλλου, και δεν ζητειτε την δοξαν την παρα του μονου Θεου;	44 How can you believe, since you look to each other for glory and are not concerned with the glory thatcomes from the one God?
45 Μη νομιζετε οτι εγω θελω σας κατηγορησει προς τον Πατερα? υπαρχει ο κατηγορος σας ο Μωυσης, εις τον οποιον σεις ηλπισατε.	45 Do not imagine that I am going to accuse you before the Father: you have placed your hopes onMoses, and Moses wil be the one who accuses you.
46 Διοτι εαν επιστευετε εις τον Μωυσην, ηθελετε πιστευσει εις εμε? επειδη περι εμου εκεινος εγραψεν.	46 If you real y believed him you would believe me too, since it was about me that he was writing;
47 Εαν δε εις τα γεγραμμενα εκεινου δεν πιστευητε, πως θελετε πιστευσει εις τους ιδικους μου λογους;	47 but if you wil not believe what he wrote, how can you believe what I say?
