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 sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
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 had anointed the Lord with the balm, 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.”
The sisters therefore sent unto 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.”
When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
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.
Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days.
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea.
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 unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have 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 man walk in the day, he doth not stumble, 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 a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with 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 said he: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up.
12 U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he is asleep, he will recover.
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
Then Jesus therefore told 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 ye 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 said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin, ) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, that we may die with him.
17 Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days.
18 Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
Now Bethany was nigh unto 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 with the women who were about 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, met him: but Mary sat in the house.
21 Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
And Martha 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 even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give 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 at the resurrection in 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 unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. 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, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh 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.”
So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, and calleth for thee.
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
As soon as she heard it, she rose hastily, 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 was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot 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.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, 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.”
When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding 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;
When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
and he said, Where have ye laid 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!”
Then said the Jews, 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 this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person 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 groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon 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, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest 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.”
Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, 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.”
And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, 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 the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith 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 who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus 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 to the Pharisees, and told them what things 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 and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles.
48 Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both 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.
Then one particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye 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 consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed.
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 spake not from 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 for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed.
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
Then from that day they consulted together how they might 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.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, 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.
Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country 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?
Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, 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 both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.
