Yochanan 5:25-34 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. Omein, omein, I say to you, that a sha'ah (hour) is coming and now is, when the Mesim (dead ones) will hear the kol (voice) of the Ben HaElohim and the ones having heard will live.

26. For just as HaAv has Chayyim (Life) in himself [DEVARIM 30:20; IYOV 10:12; 33:4; TEHILLIM 36:10 (9)], so also HaBen He gave to have Chayyim (Life) in himself.

27. And samchut (authority) He gave to him to make mishpat (judgment) because he is the Ben HaAdam [DANIEL 7:13-14].

28. Do not marvel at this. For a sha'ah (hour, time) is coming in which all the ones in the kevarim (graves) will hear the kol of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, [YESHAYAH 26:19; YECHEZKEL 37:12]

29. And will come out, the ones having practiced HaTov to a Techiyas HaMesim of Chayyim (Life), the ones having practiced HaRah to a Techiyas HaMesim of Mishpat (Judgment). [DANIEL 12:2]

30. I am not able to do from myself anything. As I hear I judge, and mine is mishpat tzedek [YESHAYAH 28:6], because I do not seek my own ratzon (will) but the ratzon (will) of the One having sent me. [BAMIDBAR 16:28]

31. If I give solemn edut (testimony) about myself, the edut of mine is not ne'emanah (reliable).

32. There is Another giving solemn edut about me, however, and I have da'as that the edut He testifies about me is ne'emanah (reliable).

33. You (pl.) have sent to Yochanan and he has given solemn edut (testimony) to HaEmes (the Truth).

34. Not that I accept edut from Bnei Adam, but I say these things that you may come to Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
