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 however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He 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 at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down 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.
And Mary taking a pound of ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them 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,
Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,
5 “Ahi ngyeri mba sa ba na le ni tulare dinari dari tra na ka ga bi na?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence 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.
He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.
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, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.
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.
And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, 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.
Wherefore the chief priests took counsel to put Lazarus also to death.
11 Nitu ma yi wa Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ka kpa nyeme ni Yesu.
Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.
12 Ni vi rima indji gbugbuwu ba ye ni gan. Ni wa ba wo ndi Yesu ni ye ni Urushalima,
The next day a great multitude that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,
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.
and went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 Yesu a ka fe ivren jaki (Aholaki), nda hon nitu ma, towa ba ngha'a,
And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,
15 “Na ti sissri na, Ivrenwa Sihiyona, yayi, ngye Ichu ni ye, a son nitu vren jaki.”
as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on an ass's colt."
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.
Now his disciples did not understand these things at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him, and that they had done thus 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.
And the people that were with Him testified, that He called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead:
18 Nitu kima, gbugbu indji ba ye ni ndu ba same niwu nitu wa ati gban (alama) yi.
and for this reason the people went to meet Him, because they 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.
The pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the world is gone after Him.
20 Indji bi Helinawa bari ni mi bi wa ba hi ni sujada u idin.
And among those that came up to worship at the feast there were certain Greeks:
21 Ba ki ba hi ni Filibu, igu u betsa ida wa ahe ni Galili, u ba tre niwu, “Mala, ki sun to Yesu.
that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Filibu ahi na ka hla ni Andarawus, u Andarawus ba hi mba Filibu, u ba hla ni Yesu.
And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Yesu hla bawu, “Inton tsra ye wa ba shu ngbarju ni Vren Ndji.
And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to 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.
Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth much fruit.
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)
So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto 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 any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: and if any one 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 to 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, saying, 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 people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake 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 yours.
31 Zizan ba tron ni gbungblu'a: zizan ba zu Indji wa ani nji gbunglu'a.
Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
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, shall draw all men unto me.
33 A hla wayi ni tu iri kwu wa ani kwu'a.
This He said, signifying 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)
The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, 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 Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark knoweth not whither he goeth.
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 light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.
37 Ko naki me Yesu ti gban bi babran ni shishi mba, ni naki me bana kpa nyeme niwu na.
But though He had done so many miracles before their eyes, yet they did not believe 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?”
so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, 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,
And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,
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, that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their 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 Esaias when 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.
There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.
43 Ba son gbre san u indji zan gbre san wa ani rji ni Rji.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise 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 raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:
45 Ngari indji wa asi to me, asi to Indji wa a ton me.
and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth 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 whosoever believeth on me, might 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 one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn 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 rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn 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.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
