Yohana 11
1 U igun wa ba yo ni Lazaru, a lo'a hi indji u Baitanya, ni gbu ba Mariyamu ni vayi ma Marta.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
2 Mariyamu wa gban yen ni Bachi na se za ma ni futu ma, wa vayi Lazaru si lo'a.
It was the Mary that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Imri vayi maba ton ba adu hi ni Yesu, andi, “Bachi, ya, indji wa'u son si to.”
Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 Wawo, na tre, “Lilo mba ni nji hi kwu na nitu gbere san rji ni ndu vren Rji ndu fe gbere san ni tu ma.”
But when Jesus heard it, he said: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God may be glorified.
5 Yesu ni son Marta, ni vayi ma vren wa ni Lazaru.
Now, Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he still remained two days in the place where he was.
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
Then after this, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
8 U almajere ba hla niwu, “Mala, Yahudawa bari si wa ndi ba ta ni tita, u la ni son k'ma hi ni ki?
His disciples said to him: Rabbi, the Jews just now sought to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?
9 Yesu tre niba, andi inton u kpan rji ana awa wulon don ha na? Indji wa a zren ni ri, ana kubu zana, ni wa asi to kpan u gbungbulu yi.
Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks during the day, he does not stumble, for he sees the light of this world.
10 Indji wa ni zren ni chu, ani kubu za nitu wa ikpan na he na.
But if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
11 A tre kpe biyi ni kogon biyi, a hla ni bawu, “Ikpan mbu Lazaru a si kru nna, mi si hi bubu shime lunde ni na.
Thus spoke he; and after this he said to them: Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
Then his disciples said: Lord, if he sleeps, he will be saved.
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15 Mi ngyiri ni tubi, niwa mina he na ni ndu kpanyeme. Biri ki hi niwu.”
And I rejoice, on your account, that I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him.
16 Toma, wa ba yo ndi vren u hlen hen, a hla ni mburualmajere ba ndu baba hi ngame na hi kwu ni Yesu.”
Then Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had already been four days in the tomb.
18 Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.
19 Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Wa Marta wo andi Yesu ni ye, na luhi ni ndu wawu hi same wu'a u Maryamu a son zu ni miko.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
Then Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother would not have died.
22 Zizan me mi to ikpe wa u bre Rji ani no'u.”
But even now, I know that whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give thee.
23 Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
Jesus said to her: Your brother shall rise again.
24 U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
Martha said to him: I know that he will rise, in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Yesu hla niwu, “Ime yi mi ta shime u klekle, Ime yi mi re (iviri), indji wa a kpanyeme ni me, ani ta kwu, ani ta shime;
Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live;
and he that lives and believes on me, shall never die. Do you believe this? (aiōn g165)
27 U wa hla niwu, “E, Bachi, mi kpanyeme andi iwuyi u Almasihu, Vren Rji, iwa ani ye ni gbungbulu'a.
She said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
28 Ni wa a hla naki, na kma hi ni vayi ma Maryamu, na yo ti gigran, na hla, “Mala ye ri ye, na ni yo.”
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying: The Teacher has come, and calls for you.
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
When she heard it, she rose quickly and came to him.
30 Yesu na ri ni vi gbu'a rina, ahe ni bubu wa Iwa ka same ni wu'a.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Ni Yahudawa wa ba he baba Maryamu biwa ba ye chi ba ni kwu'a, bato lu rju ni miko gbagbla me, u ba lu hu, ni ban andi a rju ni bubu yi ni nyu be.
Then the Jews that were with her in the house, and were comforting her, seeing Mary rise and go out quickly, followed her, saying: She is going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Wa a ka ri ni bubu wa Yesu he'a na ka Joku niwu ni za ma, na hla, “Bachi, una he nita, vayimuy ana kwu na.”
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.
33 Wa Yesu ato'u si yi, ni Yahudawa biwa ba hu'a, i wa kpere ni Ruhu na lo ni suron;
Then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews that came with her weeping also, he was greatly moved in spirit, and troubled;
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
and he said: Where have you laid him? They said to him: Lord, come and see.
35 Yesu yi.
Jesus wept.
36 U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
Then said the Jews: See how he loved him!
37 Ba mba ba tre, “Wawu igu yi wa a ya no indji u fyen to bubu'a, ani na ya u gu hi bubu kwu na?
And some of them said: Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Yesu he ni mi si lo suron ni tu ma, na hi ni be'a. Ibe'a a he ni ko fron tita u ba ka he ni tita.
Then Jesus, again greatly moved within himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was laid against it.
39 U Yesu tre, “Ban tita yi rju.” Marta vayi Lazaru wa a kwu a, a hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, zizan ikon kmo a gla ye niwa a ti ivi nzah ni kwu.
Jesus said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him: Lord, the body is offensive; for he has been dead four days.
40 Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
Jesus said to her: Did I not tell you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
41 U ba ban tita rju, Yesu zun shishi na tre, “Iti, mi ngyiri niwu niwa u wo me.”
Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: Father, I thank thee, that thou hast heard me.
42 Mi to wa u wo me ni ton wawu, nitu son yi wa gyen klan kagon mu yi mi tre wa, ni ndu ba kpanyeme andi ahi wuyi u ton me.”
I know, in deed, that thou dost always hear me. But for the sake of the multitude who stand around me, I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
And when he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 U ndji wa a kwu'a a lu rju, u za ma ni wo ma ba he ni lilo'o ni pri, shishima he ni kika ni gbanjan nklon. Yesu hla bawu, “Bika siwu, ndu hi.”
And he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound around with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45 Gbugbuwu ni mi Yahudawa wa ba ye ni Maryamu ba to ikpe wa Yesu ti'a u ba kpanyeme niwu.
Then many of the Jews that had come to Mary, and who saw what he had done, believed on him.
46 U bari ba kma hi naka hla ni Farisawa ikpe wa Yesu a ti'a.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
47 U Firistoci bi nigon,'a ni Farisawa ba yo indji bi kpanchi'a shuti buburi, u ba tre, ageri kita?” igu yi ani ti gban bi babran.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
If we thus let him alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.
49 Naki, iri ni mi mba kayatas kena wa ndi ahi kikle Firist ni se kima, a hla bawu, “Bi na to kpe na.
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing,
50 Bi na mla ya a bi zan ni ndu indji riri kwu ni tu indji, ni wa indji wawu ba sutuna.”
nor do you consider that it is profitable for us, that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.
51 A hla ki, ana nitu ma kankrji ma na, ani tu iwa a hi kikle Firist, a to tsu ndi Yesu ni yi ni kwu ni tu ndji;
But this he did not speak of himself; but being chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
52 ana nitu indji kankrji na, anitu ndu ba shi imri Irji ti ni buburi biwa ba lu vra kagon.
and not for the nation only, but that he should gather into one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
From that day, therefore, they consulted together to put him to death.
54 Rji ni ki Yesu na la ni zren ni rira ni mi Yahudawa na. Wa ala kma hi ni kalan ri whiwhre ni miji ni gburi wa ba yo Ifraimu. Ni mu a son ni almajere ma.
Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but withdrew thence to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples.
55 Igan u ru gran (indji ketarewa) u Yahudawa a tewhre, gbugbu ba hi Urushalima rji ni klan meme'a hi ri ndu ivi idiri ni ndu ba kati tsatsra.
And the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up from the country to Jerusalem, before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 U lu ri wa Yesu, na ni tre ni kpa mba niwa ba kri ni ni hekeli andi, “Angye bi ki rhimre? Ana ye ni idin na?
Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple: What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Kikle Firist ni Farisawa ba yo du andi ko ni zen wa ba to Yesu ba ka ye hla ni ndu ba vu.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should inform them, that they might take him.
