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 there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town 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.
(And Mary was she 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.”
His sisters therefore 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.”
And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 Yesu ni son Marta, ni vayi ma vren wa ni Lazaru.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6 Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
Then after that, 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?
The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou 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 of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:
10 Indji wa ni zren ni chu, ani kubu za nitu wa ikpan na he na.
But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not 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.
These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; 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.”
His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
Then therefore Jesus 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 am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, 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.”
Thomas therefore, 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.
Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
18 Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
(Now Bethania 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 were 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.
Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21 Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 Zizan me mi to ikpe wa u bre Rji ani no'u.”
But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24 U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, 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 believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou 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 saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this 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 these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
30 Yesu na ri ni vi gbu'a rina, ahe ni bubu wa Iwa ka same ni wu'a.
For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had 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.
The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave 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.”
When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 Wa Yesu ato'u si yi, ni Yahudawa biwa ba hu'a, i wa kpere ni Ruhu na lo ni suron;
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
35 Yesu yi.
And Jesus wept.
36 U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
The Jews therefore said: Behold 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?
But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?
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.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over 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 saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
40 Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
41 U ba ban tita rju, Yesu zun shishi na tre, “Iti, mi ngyiri niwu niwa u wo me.”
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks 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.”
And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
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 presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. 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.
Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
46 U bari ba kma hi naka hla ni Farisawa ikpe wa Yesu a ti'a.
But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that 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.
The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?
48 Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and 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, named Caiphas, being the high 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.”
Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
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;
And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should 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 only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
From that day therefore they devised 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.
Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode 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 pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch 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?
They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day?
57 Kikle Firist ni Farisawa ba yo du andi ko ni zen wa ba to Yesu ba ka ye hla ni ndu ba vu.
And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
