Yohana 12
1 Ivi tanne hi ni vi u gan rugran'a (Idin ketere) Yesu ye ni Baitaya ni bubu wa Lazarus ahe'a, uwa Yesu a tawu shime rju ni be.
JESUS then before the days of the passover came to Bethany, where the deceased Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 U ba tie birli wu ni ki u Marta ahe ni ndasi nno ba birli, u Lazarus ahe ni ba nda kakru ni tebur u rli ni Yesu.
Therefore they made him a supper there; and Martha waited: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with him.
3 U Maryamu ka ban turare nard, nda nyuu za Yesu niwu nda se za Yesu ni nfutu ma. U turare ka vra whi shu ni koh'a wawu.
Then Mary taking a pound of unadulterated balm of nard, very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Yahuda Iskariyoti, iri nimi almajere ma, wa ani kawu le, a tre,
Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was preparing to betray him,
5 “Ahi ngyeri mba sa ba na le ni tulare dinari dari tra na ka ga bi na?”
Wherefore was not this aromatic ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 A tre naki ana ndi ahe niwu mi sron ma na, a wa'a ndahi ndji u yibi. A wawuyi ni zi imbu nklen'a, nda ni son ybi ni mi.
Now he said this, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and carried the money put therein.
7 Yesu tre, bika chowo ni ndu ka kpye wa ahe wu'a zi ni fi wa baka rju me'a.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: for the day of my burial hath she reserved this.
8 Biya ba he ni yi ko ni tanyi u me mi na he niyi chachuwu na.
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
9 U gbugbu Yahudawa ba wo andi Yesu a he ni kii u ba ye, ana nitu Yesu ni nkrji megyen na, baye son to Lazarus ngame wa Yesu tawu shime ni khwu'a.
Then the whole multitude of the Jews knew that he was there: and they came not for the sake of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 U Firistoci bi ni kon, baka ka'nyu kabi nda wa nkon u wu'u Lazarus ngame.
Then the chief priests consulted how they might kill Lazarus also;
11 Nitu ma yi wa Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ka kpa nyeme ni Yesu.
because on his account many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Ni vi rima indji gbugbuwu ba ye ni gan. Ni wa ba wo ndi Yesu ni ye ni Urushalima,
On the morrow a great multitude who came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 u ba vu ihran dabino nda rju ni gbu nda hi kpawu nda ni yo gbangban me nda ni tre, “Hosanna! Lulu ahi wu Indji wa ani ye ni mi nde Bachi, Ichu Israila.
took branches of palm, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 Yesu a ka fe ivren jaki (Aholaki), nda hon nitu ma, towa ba ngha'a,
Then Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
15 “Na ti sissri na, Ivrenwa Sihiyona, yayi, ngye Ichu ni ye, a son nitu vren jaki.”
“Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on the foal of an ass.”
16 Almajere ma bana to tu mana ni mumla, ni kogon wa ba gbyre Yesu san, baka tika, andi ba nha nda ni he to kima, u ba ti ba ni wu na kima.
These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 Ij'bu ndji ba a hla ndi bana he niwu niwa a yo Lazarus rju ni mi be nda tawu shime ni khwu na.
Then the multitude that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore their testimony.
18 Nitu kima, gbugbu indji ba ye ni ndu ba same niwu nitu wa ati gban (alama) yi.
Therefore also the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this miracle.
19 Ni naki, se Farisawa bari bubu tre ni kpa mba andi, “Yayi, bi heni kpe u tina bi to, gbugbulu,'a ba hu wawu ye.
Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Indji bi Helinawa bari ni mi bi wa ba hi ni sujada u idin.
Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast:
21 Ba ki ba hi ni Filibu, igu u betsa ida wa ahe ni Galili, u ba tre niwu, “Mala, ki sun to Yesu.
these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Filibu ahi na ka hla ni Andarawus, u Andarawus ba hi mba Filibu, u ba hla ni Yesu.
Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Yesu hla bawu, “Inton tsra ye wa ba shu ngbarju ni Vren Ndji.
Then Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Njanji, njanji, mi si hla yiwu, iwolo alkama ni ta na joku ni meme na kwu na, ani he ni ngrjima, u ani ta kwu, ani ti wolo gbugbuwu.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it thus die, it beareth abundant produce.
25 Indji wa ani son ivri ma, ani wa wu hama, u indji wa ana son ivri ma na ni ngbungblu yi ani kiyaye wu nitu ivri ma u tuntru. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Indrjori nita ni shu ngbarju nimu, wa ka hume, ko ni ntsen wa mi he'a, ni mu igran ni sun. Indji wa a shu ngbarju nimu, Iti ni no ninkon.
If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Zizan isron mu he ni mi mmren, u mi tre ngye? Iti u kpa me chuwo ni ton yi? Ani to kima yi me ye ni ton yi.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Iti, shu ngburju ni tume.” U lantre ri ni tre, “Me shu ngbarju niwu, mila shu ngbarju niwu ngari.
Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 U indji biwa ba ki na kima bawo lantre, na tre ahi zan bari ba ri ba tre ahi “Maleka mba tre niwu.”
The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
30 Yesu tre, “Andi lan tre yi na ye nitu mu na, a nitu mbi.”
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your’s.
31 Zizan ba tron ni gbungblu'a: zizan ba zu Indji wa ani nji gbunglu'a.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out of it.
32 U me, ba ta ba me lu ni gbunbglu'a, Mi gbron indji wawu ye ni kpamu.”
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 A hla wayi ni tu iri kwu wa ani kwu'a.
And this he said, signifying by what death he should die.
34 Ijubu indji ba lu tre, “Ki wo ni mi tronandi Almasihu ni son hi ni tuntru. A nihe u tre, ba zun Vren Indji? Ahi nha mba hi Vren Ndji'a?” (aiōn g165)
Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu hla bawu, “Zizan ni vi ton tsa me bi son ni ikpan. Bika zren ni kpan tu ka ari he ni yi ri, na ndu bu'u dun mren yi na. Indji wa ani zren ni mi bu'u'a ana to wurji u hi na.
Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going.
36 Bi kpa nyeme ni kpan tu wa ri he ni yi ri ni ndu kati imri ikpan.” Yesu hla tre biyi ri na ri tuma ni bawu.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.
37 Ko naki me Yesu ti gban bi babran ni shishi mba, ni naki me bana kpa nyeme niwu na.
Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him:
38 Nitu itre Anabi Ishaya a a shu, wa a hla, “Bachi, ahi nha a kpa nyeme ni tre mbu? Ani nha iwo Bachi a hla tu ma?”
that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, “Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Nitu kima ba na kpa nyeme na, ni wa Ishaya ala tre andi,
For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again;
40 A ka ba tibi fyen, na lo sron gbangban me, ni ndu bana to ni shishi mba na. Naki nato toma ni mi sron mba, na k'ma ye ni me ni ndu mi den ba.
“He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.”
41 Ishaya hla kpi biyi ni wa a to ko shishi u shu ngbarju ni Yesu.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Ni naki me, gbugbuwu bakpa nyeme ni Yesu ni mi bi ninkon'a. U nitu Farisawa, bana ya hla wu rju ni rira na, ni ndu ba na zu ba rju ni mi Majamiya na.
However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues:
43 Ba son gbre san u indji zan gbre san wa ani rji ni Rji.
for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.
44 Yesu tre gban gban me, na hla, indji wa a kpa nyeme ni me, ana me yi a kpa nyeme ni me kankle mu na, a kpa nyeme ni indji wa a ton me'a.
Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 Ngari indji wa asi to me, asi to Indji wa a ton me.
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 Ime mi ye nitu ikpan ni gbungblu'a, ni indji wa a kpa nyeme ni me a na zren ni mi bu'u na.
I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 Indji wa awo tre mu nda na kpa nyeme na, mina hukunta ni wu na. Mina ye nitu hukunta indji na; ni ndu me kpa gbungblu'a chuwo.
And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Indji wa a kama ni me, na kama kpa tre mu, indji ri he wa ni hukunta niwu ilan wa mi tre ni hukunta niwu ni chachu kekle.
He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.
49 Mi na tutu mu na, a Ti'a wa a ton Me, wa a yo Me ni ndu mi hla ni tre.
Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
