Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had. 5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 When 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?” 7 The 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.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.” 9 Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked.
5 Na hapo palikuwa na mtu, ambaye amekuwa hawezi muda wa miaka thelathini na minane. 6 Yesu alipomwona huyu amelala, naye akijua ya kuwa amekuwa hali hiyo siku nyingi, alimwambia, Wataka kuwa mzima? 7 Yule mgonjwa akamjibu, Bwana, mimi sina mtu kunitia birikani, maji yanapotibuliwa, ila wakati ninapokuja mimi, mtu mwingine hushuka mbele yangu. 8 Yesu akamwambia, Simama, jitwike godoro lako, uende. 9 Mara yule mtu akawa mzima, akajitwika godoro lake, akaenda. Nayo ilikuwa Sabato siku hiyo.”
