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, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town 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 [that] Mary who 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.”
When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not to 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, and Lazarus.
6 Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
Then after that he saith to [his] disciples, Let us ho 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 say to him, Master, the Jews of late 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 in the day? If any man walketh 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 a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, 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.
These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus 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.”
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
Then said Jesus 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, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, 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, who is called Didymus, 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 lain in the grave four days already.
18 Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
(Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant.)
19 Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
And many of the Jews came 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, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and 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.”
Then said Martha 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 I know that even now, whatever 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 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: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die. 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 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 so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
As soon as she heard [that], she arose 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 town, but was in that 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.
The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, 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.”
Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying 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;
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled;
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
And 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?
And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, 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.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, 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 said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: 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 to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest 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 the place] where the dead was laid. 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.”
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I 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 thus spoken, 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 was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about 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 had seen the things which Jesus 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 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.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth 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 thus alone, 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.
And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye 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 consider that it is expedient for us, 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 high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that 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 also he should assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
Then from that day forth they took counsel 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.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued 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 Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of 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 spoke among themselves, 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 a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show [it], that they might take him.
