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, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 Mariyamu wa gban yen ni Bachi na se za ma ni futu ma, wa vayi Lazaru si lo'a.
(It was the Mary who [later] anointed the Lord with myrrh 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.”
So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love 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.”
Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
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.
So, when He heard that he was sick He stayed where He was two more days!
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
Then after this He says to the 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 were just now trying to stone you, and you are going back there?”
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 anyone walks during the day he doesn't stumble, because 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 anyone walks in the night he does stumble, 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.
Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.”
12 U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.”
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
So then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus died.
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, so 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 (called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, “Let's us go too, so that we may die with Him.”
17 Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
So when Jesus had come, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
(Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
and many of the Jews had joined the women around 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 to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting at home.
21 Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
Then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if You had 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 You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
Martha says to Him, “I know that he will 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. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;
and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever 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 says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming 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.”
Having said these things she went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling you!”
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
Upon hearing it she gets up quickly and goes 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 entered 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 who were with her in the house, consoling her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they 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, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had 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;
So when Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
And He said, “Where have you put him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesu yi.
Jesus wept.
36 U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
So the Jews said, “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?
But some of them said, “Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this one from dying?”
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, groaning within Himself again, Jesus arrived at the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying 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 says, “Remove the stone!” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks; it's been four days!”
40 Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will 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 from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You 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 that You always hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
Upon saying these things He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
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 out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says 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.
So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
46 U bari ba kma hi naka hla ni Farisawa ikpe wa Yesu a ti'a.
But some of them went off 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 convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous signs;
48 Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
if we let him go on like this everybody will believe into him; and the Romans will come and take away both 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, being high priest that year, said to them: “You know nothing at all!
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 advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation 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;
(Now he did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of 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 on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.
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 moved about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and He stayed there 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.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order 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?
So they were looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they were saying to each other, “What do you think—that he won't come to the feast at all?”
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 together issued an edict that if anyone knew where He was he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
