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 person sick, to wit, Lazarus of Bethany, 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 it was Mary, 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.”
But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto 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.
Therefore when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed indeed two days in the place where He was:
7 Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
and 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, Master, the Jews very lately attempted 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; for 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 any one walk in the night, he stumbleth; because he hath no light.
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 thus answered them, He afterwards saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.
12 U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
Therefore his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well.
13 Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
But Jesus spake of his death; though they thought that He was speaking of the refreshment of sleep.
14 U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
Then 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, I was not there, 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.”
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.
And when Jesus came, He found that he had been four days in the grave.
18 Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, being but about fifteen furlongs from it:
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.
Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him: but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
And Martha said unto 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 whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will grant it thee.
23 Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
Martha saith unto 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 then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again.
And every one that is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die. (aiōn g165)
27 U wa hla niwu, “E, Bachi, mi kpanyeme andi iwuyi u Almasihu, Vren Rji, iwa ani ye ni gbungbulu'a.
Dost thou believe this? She saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Messiah, 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 said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee.
29 Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
As soon as she heard it, she gets up with all speed and comes 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 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.
The Jews therefore that were with her in the house to comfort her, seeing Mary that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She is going 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 Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw Him, fell down at his feet, saying unto 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 also weeping, that came with her, groaned in spirit and was troubled.
34 iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
And He said, Where have ye laid him?
35 Yesu yi.
They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: 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, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that 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 sepulchre: which 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 saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he is offensive; for it is the fourth day.
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 believest, 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.”
So they took away the stone from the place where the corpse 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.”
I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.
43 Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
And 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 he that had been dead came forth, having his feet and hands rolled up in grave-cloths: and his face bound about with a napkin. Then Jesus bid them, Loosen 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.
Therefore many of the Jews, that came to Mary and saw what 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 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.
Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh 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 the people will believe on Him, and the Romans will come and destroy 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.
But Caiaphas who was one of them, being high-priest that year, said unto 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 do ye consider, that it is better for us that one man should die for the people, than that the whole nation should 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;
This however he spake not of himself, but being high-priest at that time he prophesied that Jesus would 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 the Jewish nation only, but that he might also gather together the children of God that are dispersed.
53 Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
From that day therefore they consulted 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.
Wherefore Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews; but went away from thence into the country near the wilderness, to 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.
Now the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country, 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?
So they sought for Jesus, and said to one another 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 order, that if any one knew where He was, he should inform them, that they might take Him.
