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 man named Lazarus was ill. He was from 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 Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
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. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."
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 illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through 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.
However, when he heard that he was ill,
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to 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?
"Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there 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 replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds 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 during 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.
This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."
12 U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
"Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
So then he told them plainly.
15 Mi ngyiri ni tubi, niwa mina he na ni ndu kpanyeme. Biri ki hi niwu.”
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, 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.”
Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said 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.
so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus 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, only about two miles away;
19 Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with 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.
So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting 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. "Master, had you 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 said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
Martha answered, "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;
"I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.
And every one who is living and believes in 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.
"Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are 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.”
With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.
30 Yesu na ri ni vi gbu'a rina, ahe ni bubu wa Iwa ka same ni wu'a.
Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at 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 in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was 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 Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you 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 sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
"Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.
35 Yesu yi.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
"See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,
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?
"Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also 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.
Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying 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.
"Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."
40 Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
Jesus answered 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 rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.
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.”
"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."
43 Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
When he had said this he cried with a great 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.”
Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie 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 of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, 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.
So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
48 Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."
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 their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 Bi na mla ya a bi zan ni ndu indji riri kwu ni tu indji, ni wa indji wawu ba sutuna.”
"You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be 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;
now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in 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 in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
So from that day they 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.
Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,
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 there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.
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 kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not 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 Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
