YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

1 DESPUÉS de estas cosas, era un día de fiesta de los Judíos, y subió Jesús á Jerusalem.

2 and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

2 Y hay en Jerusalem á [la puerta] del ganado un estanque, que en hebraico es llamado Bethesda, el cual tiene cinco portales.

3 in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

3 En éstos yacía multitud de enfermos, ciegos, cojos, secos, que estaban esperando el movimiento del agua.

4 for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

4 Porque un ángel descendía á cierto tiempo al estanque, y revolvía el agua; y el que primero descendía en el estanque después del movimiento del agua, era sano de cualquier enfermedad que tuviese.

5 and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

5 Y estaba allí un hombre que había treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo.

6 him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?'

6 Como Jesús vió á éste echado, y entendió que ya había mucho tiempo, dícele: ¿Quieres ser sano?

7 The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

7 Señor, le respondió el enfermo, no tengo hombre que me meta en el estanque cuando el agua fuere revuelta; porque entre tanto que yo vengo, otro antes de mí ha descendido.

8 Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'

8 Dícele Jesús: Levántate, toma tu lecho, y anda.

9 and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

9 Y luego aquel hombre fué sano, y tomó su lecho, é íbase. Y era sábado aquel día.

10 the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'

10 Entonces los Judíos decían á aquel que había sido sanado: Sábado es: no te es lícito llevar tu lecho.

11 He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'

11 Respondióles: El que me sanó, él mismo me dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda.

12 they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'

12 Preguntáronle entonces: ¿Quién es el que te dijo: Toma tu lecho y anda?

13 But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

13 Y el que había sido sanado, no sabía quién fuese; porque Jesús se había apartado de la gente que estaba en aquel lugar.

14 After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'

14 Después le halló Jesús en el templo, y díjole: He aquí, has sido sanado; no peques más, porque no te venga alguna cosa peor.

15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

15 El se fué, y dió aviso á los Judíos, que Jesús era el que le había sanado.

16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

16 Y por esta causa los Judíos perseguían á Jesús, y procuraban matarle, porque hacía estas cosas en sábado.

17 And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

17 Y Jesús les respondió: Mi Padre hasta ahora obra, y yo obro.

18 because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

18 Entonces, por tanto, más procuraban los Judíos matarle, porque no sólo quebrantaba el sábado, sino que también á su Padre llamaba Dios, haciéndose igual á Dios.

19 Jesus therefore responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

19 Respondió entonces Jesús, y díjoles: De cierto, de cierto os digo: No puede el Hijo hacer nada de sí mismo, sino lo que viere hacer al Padre: porque todo lo que él hace, esto también hace el Hijo juntamente.

20 for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

20 Porque el Padre ama al Hijo, y le muestra todas las cosas que él hace; y mayores obras que éstas le mostrará, de suerte que vosotros os maravilléis.

21 'For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

21 Porque como el Padre levanta los muertos, y les da vida, así también el Hijo á los que quiere da vida.

22 for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

22 Porque el Padre á nadie juzga, mas todo el juicio dió al Hijo;

23 that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

23 Para que todos honren al Hijo como honran al Padre. El que no honra al Hijo, no honra al Padre que le envió.

24 'Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

24 De cierto, de cierto os digo: El que oye mi palabra, y cree al que me ha enviado, tiene vida eterna; y no vendrá á condenación, mas pasó de muerte á vida.

25 'Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

25 De cierto, de cierto os digo: Vendrá hora, y ahora es, cuando los muertos oirán la voz del Hijo de Dios: y los que oyeren vivirán.

26 for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

26 Porque como el Padre tiene vida en sí mismo, así dió también al Hijo que tuviese vida en sí mismo:

27 and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

27 Y también le dió poder de hacer juicio, en cuanto es el Hijo del hombre.

28 'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

28 No os maravilléis de esto; porque vendrá hora, cuando todos los que están en los sepulcros oirán su voz;

29 and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

29 Y los que hicieron bien, saldrán á resurrección de vida; mas los que hicieron mal, á resurrección de condenación.

30 'I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

30 No puedo yo de mí mismo hacer nada: como oigo, juzgo: y mi juicio es justo; porque no busco mi voluntad, mas la voluntad del que me envió, del Padre.

31 'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

31 Si yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio no es verdadero.

32 another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

32 Otro es el que da testimonio de mí; y sé que el testimonio que da de mí, es verdadero.

33 ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

33 Vosotros enviasteis á Juan, y [él] dió testimonio á la verdad.

34 'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

34 Empero yo no tomo el testimonio de hombre; mas digo esto, para que vosotros seáis salvos.

35 he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

35 El era antorcha que ardía y alumbraba: y vosotros quisisteis recrearos por un poco á su luz.

36 'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

36 Mas yo tengo mayor testimonio que [el] de Juan: porque las obras que el Padre me dió que cumpliese, las mismas obras que yo hago, dan testimonio de mí, que el Padre me haya enviado.

37 'And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

37 Y el que me envió, el Padre, él ha dado testimonio de mí. Ni nunca habéis oído su voz, ni habéis visto su parecer.

38 and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

38 Ni tenéis su palabra permanente en vosotros; porque al que él envió, á éste vosotros no creéis.

39 'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

39 Escudriñad las Escrituras, porque á vosotros os parece que en ellas tenéis la vida eterna; y ellas son las que dan testimonio de mí.

40 and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

40 Y no queréis venir á mí, para que tengáis vida.

41 glory from man I do not receive,

41 Gloria de los hombres no recibo.

42 but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

42 Mas yo os conozco, que no tenéis amor de Dios en vosotros.

43 'I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

43 Yo he venido en nombre de mi Padre, y no me recibís: si otro viniere en su propio nombre, á aquél recibiréis.

44 how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

44 ¿Cómo podéis vosotros creer, pues tomáis la gloria los unos de los otros, y no buscáis la gloria que de sólo Dios viene?

45 'Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;

45 No penséis que yo os tengo de acusar delante del Padre; hay quien os acusa, Moisés, en quien vosotros esperáis.

46 for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

46 Porque si vosotros creyeseis á Moisés, creeríais á mí; porque de mí escribió él.

47 but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'

47 Y si á sus escritos no creéis, ¿cómo creeréis á mis palabras?

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Commentary 5:2 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXXIV)
The lesson of the Gospel has just sounded in our ears, and made us intent to know what is the meaning of what has been read. This, I suppose, is looked for from me, this I promise, by the Lord's assistance, to explain as well as I can.

Great is the profit of the divine Scriptures, and all-sufficient is the aid which comes from them.

But they cannot maintain this; otherwise their primary and original Ogdoad will be included in the number of Æons who suffered together. Moreover, there was also a certain other person healed by the Lord, after he had suffered for eight-and-thirty years: they ought therefore to affirm that the Æon who occupies the thirty-eighth place suffered.
