Yohana 11
1 Mundu jumo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Lasalo juŵatamaga nsinda wa ku Besania ŵaliji jwakulwala. Che Maliamu ni nlumbugwe che Masa ŵatamaga nsinda ulaula.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Che Maliamu ju ni jwejula juŵampakesye mauta ga kununjila Ambuje Che Yesu mmakongolo ni kwasyula ni umbo syakwe. Che Lasalo mpwakwe che Maliamu ni juŵalwalaga.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Nipele achalumbugwe ŵalajisye utenga ku Che Yesu achitiji, “Ambuje, mbusanga gwenu junkunnonyela akulwala!”
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Che Yesu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵatite, “Ulwele wo ngaummulaga che Lasalo, nambo ulwele wo ukopochele kwaligongo lya ukulu wa Akunnungu, kuti Mwana jwa Akunnungu apochele ukulu kwa litala lya ulwele wo.”
But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Che Yesu ŵaanonyele che Masa ni che Maliamu pamo ni che Lasalo.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Che Yesu paŵapilikene kuti che Lasalo akulwala, ŵajonjechesye moŵa gane gaŵili ga kutama paŵaliji pala.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Nipele ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Tuujile sooni ku Yudea!”
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Jwakwiganya, nganagapite moŵa gamajinji Ŵayahudi ŵasachile kummulaga ni maganga, kwachichi nkusaka tuujile sooni kweleko?”
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ana ngati gapali masaa likumi ni gaŵili ga muusi? Mundu ajendaga muusi ngaakombola kulikuŵala pakuŵa akuliwona lilanguka lya pachilambo chi.
Jesus answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Nambo mundu ajendaga chilo chalikuŵale pakuŵa lilanguka nganilipagwa.”
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵaasalile, “Mbusanga jwetu che Lasalo agonile, nambo uneji chinyaule kukunjimusya.”
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵansalile, “Ambuje iŵaga agonile chalame.”
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Che Yesu ŵaŵechetaga nkati chiwa chi che Lasalo, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaganisyaga kuti che Lasalo agonile.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile pangasisa kuti, “Che Lasalo ajasiche,
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 nambo kwa ligongo lyenu ngusengwa, pakuŵa nganima kweleko, kuti ŵanyamwe nkulupilile. Sambano tujaule kwa jwelejo.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Che Tomasi jwakuŵilanjikwa Maŵila, ŵaasalile achinjakwe, “Ni uweji tujaule pamo ni Jwakwiganya kuti tukawe pamo nawo!”
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Nipele, Che Yesu paŵaiche kweleko, ŵachisimene chiilu chi che Lasalo chili mwilembe kwa moŵa ncheche.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Nsinda wa ku Besania waŵandichile ku Yelusalemu mpela maili siŵili.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaiche kukwatusya ntima che Masa ni che Maliamu kwa ligongo lya chiwa cha mpwao.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Nipele che Masa paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akwika, ŵajawile kukwachingamila, nambo che Maliamu ŵasigele pamusi.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Che Masa ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ambuje, nkaliji papapa pepa mpwangu ngakajasiche.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Nambo, namuno sambano ngumanyilila kuti chachili chose chichimwaŵende Akunnungu champe.”
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Mpwenu chasyuche.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Che Masa ŵajanjile, “Ngumanyilila kuti chachisyuka pa lyuŵa lya mbesi Akunnungu pachiŵasyusye ŵandu.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Uneji ndili usyusyo ni jungwapa ŵandu umi. Mundu jwakungulupilila uneji atamuno ajasikaga, chakole umi,
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 ni mundu jwalijose jwakutama ni kungulupilila une ngajasika sooni. Uli nkugakulupilila gelego?” (aiōn g165)
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die in this age (aiōn g165). Do you believe this?"
27 Che Masa ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Elo Ambuje! Ngukulupilila kuti ŵalakwe ni Kilisito, Mwana jwa Akunnungu, ŵakwika pa chilambo pano.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 Che Masa paŵaŵechete yeleyo ŵajinjile nkati ni kwaŵilanga che Maliamu mlumbugwe ni kwasalila chipasipasi, “Jwakwiganya aiche ni sooni akumbilanga.”
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Nombe che Maliamu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajimwiche kwakwanguya ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Che Yesu ŵaliji nganajinjile mu nsinda, nambo ŵaliji kulakula kuŵachingamilwe ni che Masa.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Nipele, Ŵayahudi ŵaŵaliji nkati ali nkwatulasya ntima che Maliamu, paŵambweni che Maliamu ajimwiche ni pangakaŵa akopweche paasa, ŵaakuiye. Ŵaganisisye kuti akwaula kumalembe kukulila.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Nipele, che Maliamu paŵaiche paŵaliji Che Yesu pala ni paŵambweni Che Yesu, ŵatindiŵele ni kwasalila, “Ambuje, nkaliji papapa pepa mpwangu ngakajasiche!”
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Che Yesu paŵambweni che Maliamu ali nkulila, ni Ŵayahudi ŵaŵalongene ni che Maliamu nombe akulila, Che Yesu ŵasupwiche nnope ni kupwa ntima.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 Nipele ŵausisye, “Ana mummisile kwapi?” Ni ŵansalile, “Ambuje, njise kunnole.”
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Che Yesu ŵalisile.
Jesus wept.
36 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatite, “Nnole yatite pakunnonyela!”
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Iŵaga ŵagalamisye meeso ga jwangalola jula, kwachichi nganakombola kuntenda che Lasalo anajasiche?”
Some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Nipele Che Yesu akuno ali nkusupuka sooni mu ntima mwao, ŵaiche pa lilembe. Lilembe lyene lyaliji mbugu lyaliunichikwe ni liganga.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Che Yesu ŵasalile, “Ngalambule liganga lyo!” Che Masa alumbugwe jwajasiche jo, ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, atandite kununga, pakuŵa atemi mwilembe moŵa ncheche!”
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Che Yesu ŵansalile che Masa, “Ana nganinansalila kuti mwakulupililaga chimuuwone ukulu wa Akunnungu?”
Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Nipele ŵagalambwile liganga lila. Che Yesu ŵalolite kwinani ni ŵatite, “Atati nguntogolela pakuŵa mmwejo nkuumbilikanila.
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 None ngumanyilila kuti nkuumbilikanila moŵa gose. Nambo ŵechete yelei ligongo lyao ŵandu ŵasongangene pelepa ŵa kuti akulupilile kuti mmwejo mundumile une!”
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵaŵilasile kwaliloŵe lyekulungwa, “Che Lasalo! Nkopoche paasa!”
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Juŵajasiche jo ŵakopweche paasa akuno ali ataŵikwe saanda mmakongolo ni makono ni ku meeso. Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵandu, “Mummugule, munneche ajaule.”
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
45 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaŵaiche ku che Maliamu paŵaiweni yaitesile Che Yesu yo, ŵakulupilile.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Nambo ŵandu ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵajawile kwa Mafalisayo ni kwasalila aila yaitesile Che Yesu.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo ŵausimanisye Nkungulu wekulu wa Ŵayahudi, ŵaliusisye, “Tutende chichi? Pakuŵa mundu ju akupanganya imanyisyo yejinji.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Twannekaga ajendelechele, ŵandu wose chankulupilile, ni achakulu ŵa Chiloma chaiche kukujijonanga Nyuumba jetu ja Akunnungu ni ŵandu ŵetu ni chilambo chetu.”
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Pelepo jumo jwao jwakuŵilanjikwa che Kayafa, chele chaka cho ŵaliji Jwambopesi Jwankulu, ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankumanyilila kose!
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 Ana ngankuganisya kuti ikuŵajilwa mundu jumo ŵawile ŵandu wose, kupunda chijonanjikwe chilambo chose?”
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 Ŵelewo nganaŵecheta yeleyo kwa kusaka kwakwe nsyene, nambo ligongo ŵaliji Jwambopesi Jwankulu chele chaka cho, ŵalondwele kuti Che Yesu chawe kwa ligongo lya ŵandu ŵa chilambo cha Ŵayahudi,
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 sooni ngaŵa kwa Ŵayahudi pe nambo kuti ŵasonganganye pamo ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapwilingene mwinemwine kuti aŵe chindu chimo.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Nipele kutandilila lyuŵa lyo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵajilene kwaulaga Che Yesu.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Kwa yele, Che Yesu nganajendajendaga sooni kwa kulilosya pasikati ja Ŵayahudi, nambo ŵatyosile pelepo, ŵajawile kwiuto kwakuŵandikene ni lipululu, musi waukuŵilanjikwa Eflaimu. Ŵatemi kweleko pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi lyaŵandichile, ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵakwesile kwaula ku Yelusalemu kuti aliswejesye kwaligongo lya kwapopelela Akunnungu, likanaŵe lyuŵa lyekulungwa lya Pasaka.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Nipele ŵaliji nkwasosa Che Yesu. Nombewo paŵasongangene pamo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵausyene, “Ana nkuganisya uli? Nkuti ngaaika ku chindimba chi?”
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?”
57 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo ŵalajisye kuti iŵaga kwana mundu jwakumanyi kwali Che Yesu, asale kuti ŵaakamule.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
