Bisharatu Yuhanna 5
He Heals a Sick Man at a Pool
1 After that, there was a Jewish festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 2 In Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate, there was a pool, which in Hebrew was called Bethesda. There were five porticoes* around it, 3 where a large number of sick people lay — including blind, lame, and paralyzed — waiting for the stirring of the water. 4 They thought that an angel would come down to the pool sometimes and stir the water, and that the first person to go down after the stirring of the water would be healed, no matter what his sickness was.
يشفي مريضا عند بركة
1 بَعْدَ هَذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْيَهُودِ عِيدٌ، فَذَهَبَ عِيسَى إِلَى الْقُدْسِ. 2 وَفِي الْقُدْسِ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَةِ الْغَنَمِ، تُوجَدُ بِرْكَةٌ اسْمُهَا بِالْعِبْرِيَّةِ بَيْتُ حِسْدَا. وَكَانَ حَوْلَهَا 5 قَاعَاتٍ* 3 يَرْقُدُ فِيهَا عَدَدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْمَرْضَى، مِنْ عُمْيٍ وَعُرْجٍ وَمَشْلُولِينَ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ تَحْرِيكَ الْمَاءِ. 4 لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَعْتَقِدُونَ أَنَّ مَلَاكًا كَانَ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى الْبِرْكَةِ أَحْيَانًا وَيُحَرِّكُ الْمَاءَ، فَأَوَّلُ وَاحِدٍ يَنْزِلُ بَعْدَ تَحْرِيكِ الْمَاءِ، يُشْفَى مَهْمَا كَانَ مَرَضُهُ.
5 There was a man there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that he had been a long time in this condition. So he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to lower me into the pool when the water is stirred. Instead, while I am going down, someone else goes down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.” 9 At once, the man was healed, and he picked up his mat and walked. That was on a Saturday.
5 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ مَرِيضٌ مُنْذُ 38 سَنَةً. 6 فَرَآهُ عِيسَى رَاقِدًا هُنَاكَ، وَعَرَفَ أَنَّ لَهُ مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: ”هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُشْفَى؟“ 7 أَجَابَهُ الْمَرِيضُ: ”يَا سَيِّدِي، لَيْسَ لِي أَحَدٌ يُنْزِلُنِي فِي الْبِرْكَةِ مَتَى تَحَرَّكَ الْمَاءُ. بَلْ وَأَنَا نَازِلٌ، يَنْزِلُ قَبْلِي آخَرُ.“ 8 فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى: ”قُمْ وَاحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ.“ 9 وَفِي الْحَالِ شُفِيَ الرَّجُلُ، وَحَمَلَ فِرَاشَهُ وَمَشَى. وَكَانَ هَذَا فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ.
10 The Jewish [religious] leaders said to the man who was healed, “Today is Saturday; it is not lawful for you to carry your bedding.”* 11 He answered them, “The one who healed me said to me, ‘Pick up your bedding and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the one that said to you, ‘Pick up your bedding and walk?’” 13 The man did not know who he was because Jesus was hidden among the large crowd.
10 فَقَالَ قَادَةُ الْيَهُودِ لِلَّذِي شُفِيَ: ”الْيَوْمَ السَّبْتُ،* لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فِرَاشَكَ.“ 11 فَأَجَابَهُمْ: ”الَّذِي شَفَانِي قَالَ لِي: ’اِحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ.‘“ 12 فَسَأَلُوهُ: ”مَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَكَ: ’اِحْمِلْ فِرَاشَكَ وَامْشِ‘؟“ 13 وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَعْرِفُ مَنْ هُوَ، لِأَنَّ عِيسَى اخْتَفَى وَسْطَ الْجُمْهُورِ الْغَفِيرِ.
14 After that, Jesus found him in the Temple complex and said to him, “Watch out! You have been healed, but you must stop sinning, or else something worse will happen to you.” 15 Then the man went to the leaders of the Jews and informed them that Jesus was the one who had healed him. 16 So they began harassing Jesus, because he did this on a Saturday.
14 وَبَعْدَ هَذَا لَقِيَهُ عِيسَى فِي مُجَمَّعِ بَيْتِ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ: ”اِنْتَبِهْ! أَنْتَ شُفِيتَ فَيَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُفَّ عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لِئَلَّا يُصِيبَكَ مَا هُوَ أَسْوَأُ.“ 15 فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى قَادَةِ الْيَهُودِ، وَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِأَنَّ عِيسَى هُوَ الَّذِي شَفَاهُ. 16 فَأَخَذُوا يَضْطَهِدُونَ عِيسَى، لِأَنَّهُ عَمِلَ هَذَا فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ.
The Authority of Jesus
17 So Jesus said to them, “My Father doesn't pause from working, and I am working like him.” 18 For this reason, the leaders of the Jews resolved actually to kill him, because first of all, he violated the commandment [to rest on] Saturday, and secondly, he said that God was his [own] Father, and he made himself equal to God.
سلطة عيسى
17 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عِيسَى: ”أَبِي لَا يَتَوَقَّفُ عَنِ الْعَمَلِ، وَأَنَا أَعْمَلُ مِثْلَهُ.“ 18 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ نَوَى قَادَةُ الْيَهُودِ فِعْلًا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلًا خَالَفَ وَصِيَّةَ السَّبْتِ، وَثَانِيًا قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَبُوهُ، فَسَاوَى نَفْسَهُ بِاللّٰهِ.
19 So Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, the Son cannot do anything on his own; on the contrary, he does what he sees the Father doing. And everything that the Father does, the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him everything that he does, and he will show him greater works than these, and you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so likewise the Son gives life to anyone he wants. 22 The Father does not judge anyone, because he has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all would honor the Son as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
19 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عِيسَى: ”أَقُولُ لَكُمُ الْحَقَّ، لَا يَقْدِرُ الْاِبْنُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ شَيْئًا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، بَلْ يَعْمَلُ مَا يَرَى الْأَبَ يَعْمَلُهُ. فَكُلُّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ الْأَبُ يَعْمَلُ مِثْلَهُ الِابْنُ. 20 لِأَنَّ الْأَبَ يُحِبُّ الْاِبْنَ، وَيُرِيهِ كُلَّ مَا يَعْمَلُهُ، وَسَيُرِيهِ أَعْمَالًا أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ فَتَنْدَهِشُونَ. 21 وَكَمَا أَنَّ الْأَبَ يُقِيمُ الْمَوْتَى وَيُحْيِيهِمْ، كَذَلِكَ الْاِبْنُ يُحْيِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ. 22 وَالْأَبُ لَا يُحَاسِبُ أَحَدًا، لِأَنَّهُ أَعْطَى الْحِسَابَ كُلَّهُ لِلِابْنِ. 23 لِكَيْ يُكْرِمَ الْجَمِيعُ الْاِبْنَ كَمَا يُكْرِمُونَ الْأَبَ. مَنْ لَا يُكْرِمُ الْاِبْنَ، لَا يُكْرِمُ الْأَبَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَهُ.
24 “I tell you the truth, anyone who listens to my words and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life; he will not be punished on the Day of Judgment, because he has moved from death to life.* 25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming, in fact the time has come, when the dead* will hear the voice of the Son of God,* and all who listen to him will live.* 26 And just as the Father himself is the source of life, he has granted the Son [the power] to be a source of life as well.
24 ”أَقُولُ لَكُمُ الْحَقَّ، مَنْ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَيُؤْمِنُ بِمَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي، لَهُ حَيَاةُ الْخُلُودِ، وَلَا عِقَابَ عَلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمِ الدِّينِ لِأَنَّهُ انْتَقَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ.* 25 أَقُولُ لَكُمُ الْحَقَّ، يَحِينُ وَقْتٌ، بَلْ حَانَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي فِيهِ يَسْمَعُ الْمَوْتَى* صَوْتَ ابْنِ اللهِ،* وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُهُ يَحْيَا.* 26 وَكَمَا أَنَّ الْأَبَ نَفْسَهُ هُوَ مَصْدَرُ الْحَيَاةِ، فَقَدْ أَعْطَى الْاِبْنَ أَيْضًا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَصْدَرَ الْحَيَاةِ.
27 “He also gave him authority [to conduct] the Last Judgment, because he is the One Who Became Man. 28 Don't be surprised at this, because the time will come when all those who are in the graves will hear his voice, 29 and they will come out. Those who have done good things will rise to eternal life, and those who have done bad things will rise to punishment in the hereafter. 30 I cannot do anything on my own; rather, I judge as the Father tells me. And my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
27 ”وَكَذَلِكَ أَعْطَاهُ سُلْطَةَ حِسَابِ الْآخِرَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي صَارَ بَشَرًا. 28 لَا تَسْتَغْرِبُوا هَذَا، لِأَنَّهُ يَحِينُ وَقْتٌ فِيهِ يَسْمَعُ كُلُّ الَّذِينَ فِي الْقُبُورِ صَوْتَهُ 29 فَيَخْرُجُونَ. الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ يَقُومُونَ إِلَى حَيَاةِ الْخُلُودِ، وَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ يَقُومُونَ إِلَى عِقَابِ الْآخِرَةِ. 30 أَنَا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ شَيْئًا مِنْ نَفْسِي، بَلْ أَحْكُمُ كَمَا يَقُولُ لِيَ الْأَبُ. وَحُكْمِي عَادِلٌ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَطْلُبُ إِرَادَتِي، بَلْ إِرَادَةَ مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي.
Testimony About Jesus
31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. 32 There is someone [else] who testifies about me, and I know that his testimony about me is valid. 33 You sent [messengers] to John,* and he bore witness about the truth. 34 I say this, not because I rely on the testimony of people, but that you might be saved. 35 John was a bright shining lamp, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a period of time. 36 But I have a testimony that is greater than the testimony of John: the works with which the Father entrusted me, namely the works that I am doing. These testify about me that the Father has sent me.
الشهادة لعيسى
31 ”إِنْ كُنْتُ أَشْهَدُ لِنَفْسِي، فَشَهَادَتِي غَيْرُ صَحِيحَةٍ. 32 يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ شَهَادَتَهُ لِي صَحِيحَةٌ. 33 أَنْتُمْ أَرْسَلْتُمْ إِلَى يَحْيَى،* وَهُوَ شَهِدَ لِلْحَقِّ. 34 أَنَا أَقُولُ هَذَا، لَا لِأَنِّي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَى شَهَادَةِ النَّاسِ، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَنْجُوا. 35 كَانَ يَحْيَى مِصْبَاحًا مُنِيرًا سَاطِعًا، وَرَضِيتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِنُورِهِ فَتْرَةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ. 36 لَكِنْ لِي شَهَادَةٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ يَحْيَى، الْأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي كَلَّفَنِي الْأَبُ بِهَا، أَيِ الْأَعْمَالُ الَّتِي أَعْمَلُهَا، هِيَ تَشْهَدُ لِي أَنَّ الْأَبَ أَرْسَلَنِي.
“37 Furthermore, the Father himself, who has sent me, bears witness about me. You have never heard his voice or seen his form. 38 And his word is not firmly fixed in you, because you do not believe the one he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that they will lead you to eternal life, and in fact they bear witness about me, 40 but you do not want to come to me that this life might be yours.
”37 ثُمَّ الْأَبُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي هُوَ نَفْسُهُ يَشْهَدُ لِي. أَنْتُمْ لَا سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ وَلَا رَأَيْتُمْ هَيْئَتَهُ أَبَدًا. 38 وَكَلِمَتُهُ لَا تَثْبُتُ فِيكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَرْسَلَهُ. 39 أَنْتُمْ تَفْحَصُونَ الْكُتُبَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ تَعْتَقِدُونَ أَنَّهَا تَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَى حَيَاةِ الْخُلُودِ، وَهِيَ فِعْلًا تَشْهَدُ لِي. 40 وَلَكِنَّكُمْ لَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ.
41 “I'm not looking for people's praise, 42 but I know you and know that the love of God is not in you. 43 I have come in the name of my Father,* but you have not accepted me. Yet if someone comes in his own name, you accept him. 44 How is it possible for you to believe, when you expect praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from God alone? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. The one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you are putting your hope. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he himself wrote about me.* 47 So if you do not believe what he has written, how can you believe my words?”
41 ”أَنَا لَا أَطْلُبُ مَدِيحَ النَّاسِ. 42 وَلَكِنِّي أَعْرِفُكُمْ، وَأَعْرِفُ أَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ اللهِ لَيْسَتْ فِيكُمْ. 43 أَنَا جِئْتُ بِاسْمِ أَبِي* وَلَمْ تَقْبَلُونِي. إِنْ جَاءَ وَاحِدٌ بِاسْمِ نَفْسِهِ تَقْبَلُونَهُ. 44 فَكَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْتَظِرُونَ الْمَدِيحَ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَلَا تَطْلُبُونَ الْمَدِيحَ الَّذِي يَأْتِي مِنَ اللهِ وَحْدَهُ؟ 45 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي أَشْتَكِيكُمْ إِلَى الْأَبِ. الَّذِي يَشْتَكِيكُمْ هُوَ مُوسَى الَّذِي تَضَعُونَ أَمَلَكُمْ فِيهِ. 46 لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تُصَدِّقُونَ مُوسَى، لَكُنْتُمْ تُصَدِّقُونِي، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ كَتَبَ عَنِّي.* 47 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ مَا كَتَبَهُ، فَكَيْفَ تُصَدِّقُونَ كَلَامِي؟“

*5:2 قَاعَاتٍ: كانت القاعة عبارة عن رواق أو ممر طويل يتكون من سقف محمول على أعمدة من جانب وجدار من الجانب الآخر. أمَّا بركة بيت حسدا فكانت تنقسم إلى قسمين؛ حيث كانت هناك قاعة على كل جانب من الجوانب الأربعة وقاعة خامسة بين القسمين. انظر الرسم التوضيحي.
*5:25 the Son of God: In the original languages this phrase did not mean God's son by reproduction. Indeed, God himself says in the Scriptures that he is neither a man (The Torah, Numbers 23:19) nor like a son of Adam, and that there is no one like God (The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 46:9). This phrase is an expression of the close relationship between Jesus and God and the divine authority that God has given him as the Messiah. See the footnotes at John 1:45; 1:49. See family in the glossary.
*5:25 ابْنِ اللهِ: في اللغات الأصلية، لم تكن هذه العبارة تعني ابن الله بالتناسل. إنَّما الله نفسه يقول في كتب الوحي إنه ليس إنسانًا (التوراة، عدد 23:19) ولا كبني آدم، وإنه لا يوجد أحد مثل الله (كتاب النبي إشعياء 46:9). هذا تعبير عن العلاقة الوثيقة بين عيسى والله والسلطة الإلهية التي أعطاها الله له باعتباره المسيح. انظر الحاشيتين على بشارة يوحنّا 1:45، 1:49. راجع العائلة في مسرد المصطلحات.
*5:43 in the name of my Father: on behalf of God my Father and with his authority. See family in the glossary. See John 10:36, where Jesus describes himself as “the one whom the Father has commissioned and sent into the world.”
*5:43 بِاسْمِ أَبِي: باسم الله أبي وبسلطته. راجع العائلة في مسرد المصطلحات. انظر يوحنّا 10:36، حيث يصف عيسى نفسه بأنه الشخص ”الَّذِي خَصَّصَهُ الْأَبُ وَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ.“
*5:46 The prophet Moses wrote the Torah as God revealed it to him. Several passages in the Torah speak about the future Messiah. Here are two of them: “[God said to Moses,] I will raise up for them from their people a prophet like you. I will put my words in his mouth and he will convey everything that I say to him. Whoever does not listen to my words, which he says in my name, I will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy 18:18-19) “From Judah will come kings, from Judah will come rulers, until the one comes who has the right to the throne, and the nations will obey him.” (Genesis 49:10) Judah was the son of the prophet Jacob and the forefather of all Jews.
*5:46 كتب النبي موسى التوراة كما أنزلها عليه الله. والتوراة بها عدة مقاطع تصف المسيح المُنتظَر. نورد هنا مقطعين منها: ”[قال الله لموسى] سَأُقِيمُ لَهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِمْ نَبِيًّا مِثْلَكَ، أَضَعُ كَلَامِي فِي فَمِهِ، فَيُبَلِّغُهُمْ كُلَّ مَا أَقُولُهُ لَهُ. وَمَنْ لَا يَسْمَعُ لِكَلَامِيَ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ بِاسْمِي، أَنَا أُحَاسِبُهُ.“ (تثنية 18: 18–19) ”مِنْ يَهُوذَا يَكُونُ الْمُلُوكُ، مِنْ يَهُوذَا يَكُونُ الْحُكَّامُ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ مَنْ لَهُ الْحَقُّ فِي الْعَرْشِ، فَتُطِيعُهُ الْأُمَمُ.“ (تكوين 49: 10) يهوذا هو ابن النبي يعقوب وأبو جميع اليهود.
