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, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among 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.
So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining 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.
Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Yahuda Iskariyoti, iri nimi almajere ma, wa ani kawu le, a tre,
[But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
5 “Ahi ngyeri mba sa ba na le ni tulare dinari dari tra na ka ga bi na?”
Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
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.
Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
7 Yesu tre, bika chowo ni ndu ka kpye wa ahe wu'a zi ni fi wa baka rju me'a.
Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
8 Biya ba he ni yi ko ni tanyi u me mi na he niyi chachuwu na.
For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
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.
The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.
10 U Firistoci bi ni kon, baka ka'nyu kabi nda wa nkon u wu'u Lazarus ngame.
But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
11 Nitu ma yi wa Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ka kpa nyeme ni Yesu.
because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing 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, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into 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 the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, —even the King of Israel!
14 Yesu a ka fe ivren jaki (Aholaki), nda hon nitu ma, towa ba ngha'a,
And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
15 “Na ti sissri na, Ivrenwa Sihiyona, yayi, ngye Ichu ni ye, a son nitu vren jaki.”
Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt 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, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done 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.
The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.
18 Nitu kima, gbugbu indji ba ye ni ndu ba same niwu nitu wa ati gban (alama) yi.
On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign.
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.
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
20 Indji bi Helinawa bari ni mi bi wa ba hi ni sujada u idin.
Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in 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, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, —and were requesting him, saying—Sir! We desire to see, Jesus.
22 Filibu ahi na ka hla ni Andarawus, u Andarawus ba hi mba Filibu, u ba hla ni Yesu.
Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus.
23 Yesu hla bawu, “Inton tsra ye wa ba shu ngbarju ni Vren Ndji.
But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath 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, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
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, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. (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, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
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 can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!
28 Iti, shu ngburju ni tume.” U lantre ri ni tre, “Me shu ngbarju niwu, mila shu ngbarju niwu ngari.
There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven—I both have 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.”
[So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying—It hath, thundered. Others, were saying—A messenger, unto him, hath spoken.
30 Yesu tre, “Andi lan tre yi na ye nitu mu na, a nitu mbi.”
Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
31 Zizan ba tron ni gbungblu'a: zizan ba zu Indji wa ani nji gbunglu'a.
Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
32 U me, ba ta ba me lu ni gbunbglu'a, Mi gbron indji wawu ye ni kpamu.”
And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
33 A hla wayi ni tu iri kwu wa ani kwu'a.
But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to 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)
The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to 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.
Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
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, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
37 Ko naki me Yesu ti gban bi babran ni shishi mba, ni naki me bana kpa nyeme niwu na.
And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing 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 word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
39 Nitu kima ba na kpa nyeme na, ni wa Ishaya ala tre andi,
On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
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 heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn, —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, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning 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.
Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
43 Ba son gbre san u indji zan gbre san wa ani rji ni Rji.
for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of 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.
And, Jesus, cried aloud, 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 vieweth me, vieweth 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, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
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 anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might 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 setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in 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, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
