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 named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town 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.
(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)
3 Nipele achalumbugwe ŵalajisye utenga ku Che Yesu achitiji, “Ambuje, mbusanga gwenu junkunnonyela akulwala!”
So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.
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.”
When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.
5 Che Yesu ŵaanonyele che Masa ni che Maliamu pamo ni che Lasalo.
Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Che Yesu paŵapilikene kuti che Lasalo akulwala, ŵajonjechesye moŵa gane gaŵili ga kutama paŵaliji pala.
So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.
7 Nipele ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Tuujile sooni ku Yudea!”
Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Jwakwiganya, nganagapite moŵa gamajinji Ŵayahudi ŵasachile kummulaga ni maganga, kwachichi nkusaka tuujile sooni kweleko?”
The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back 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.
Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Nambo mundu ajendaga chilo chalikuŵale pakuŵa lilanguka nganilipagwa.”
But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.
11 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵaasalile, “Mbusanga jwetu che Lasalo agonile, nambo uneji chinyaule kukunjimusya.”
These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.
12 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵansalile, “Ambuje iŵaga agonile chalame.”
Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.
13 Che Yesu ŵaŵechetaga nkati chiwa chi che Lasalo, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaganisyaga kuti che Lasalo agonile.
Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.
14 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile pangasisa kuti, “Che Lasalo ajasiche,
Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.
15 nambo kwa ligongo lyenu ngusengwa, pakuŵa nganima kweleko, kuti ŵanyamwe nkulupilile. Sambano tujaule kwa jwelejo.”
And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.
16 Che Tomasi jwakuŵilanjikwa Maŵila, ŵaasalile achinjakwe, “Ni uweji tujaule pamo ni Jwakwiganya kuti tukawe pamo nawo!”
Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.
17 Nipele, Che Yesu paŵaiche kweleko, ŵachisimene chiilu chi che Lasalo chili mwilembe kwa moŵa ncheche.
Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.
18 Nsinda wa ku Besania waŵandichile ku Yelusalemu mpela maili siŵili.
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about two miles away;
19 Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaiche kukwatusya ntima che Masa ni che Maliamu kwa ligongo lya chiwa cha mpwao.
And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.
20 Nipele che Masa paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akwika, ŵajawile kukwachingamila, nambo che Maliamu ŵasigele pamusi.
When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.
21 Che Masa ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ambuje, nkaliji papapa pepa mpwangu ngakajasiche.
Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.
22 Nambo, namuno sambano ngumanyilila kuti chachili chose chichimwaŵende Akunnungu champe.”
But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.
23 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Mpwenu chasyuche.”
Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.
24 Che Masa ŵajanjile, “Ngumanyilila kuti chachisyuka pa lyuŵa lya mbesi Akunnungu pachiŵasyusye ŵandu.”
Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead 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 myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;
26 ni mundu jwalijose jwakutama ni kungulupilila une ngajasika sooni. Uli nkugakulupilila gelego?” (aiōn g165)
And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith? (aiōn g165)
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: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
28 Che Masa paŵaŵechete yeleyo ŵajinjile nkati ni kwaŵilanga che Maliamu mlumbugwe ni kwasalila chipasipasi, “Jwakwiganya aiche ni sooni akumbilanga.”
And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you.
29 Nombe che Maliamu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajimwiche kwakwanguya ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.
30 Che Yesu ŵaliji nganajinjile mu nsinda, nambo ŵaliji kulakula kuŵachingamilwe ni che Masa.
Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen 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, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.
32 Nipele, che Maliamu paŵaiche paŵaliji Che Yesu pala ni paŵambweni Che Yesu, ŵatindiŵele ni kwasalila, “Ambuje, nkaliji papapa pepa mpwangu ngakajasiche!”
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.
33 Che Yesu paŵambweni che Maliamu ali nkulila, ni Ŵayahudi ŵaŵalongene ni che Maliamu nombe akulila, Che Yesu ŵasupwiche nnope ni kupwa ntima.
And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,
34 Nipele ŵausisye, “Ana mummisile kwapi?” Ni ŵansalile, “Ambuje, njise kunnole.”
And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.
35 Che Yesu ŵalisile.
And Jesus himself was weeping.
36 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatite, “Nnole yatite pakunnonyela!”
So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him!
37 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Iŵaga ŵagalamisye meeso ga jwangalola jula, kwachichi nganakombola kuntenda che Lasalo anajasiche?”
But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?
38 Nipele Che Yesu akuno ali nkusupuka sooni mu ntima mwao, ŵaiche pa lilembe. Lilembe lyene lyaliji mbugu lyaliunichikwe ni liganga.
So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.
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, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, 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 I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?
41 Nipele ŵagalambwile liganga lila. Che Yesu ŵalolite kwinani ni ŵatite, “Atati nguntogolela pakuŵa mmwejo nkuumbilikanila.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.
42 None ngumanyilila kuti nkuumbilikanila moŵa gose. Nambo ŵechete yelei ligongo lyao ŵandu ŵasongangene pelepa ŵa kuti akulupilile kuti mmwejo mundumile une!”
I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.
43 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵaŵilasile kwaliloŵe lyekulungwa, “Che Lasalo! Nkopoche paasa!”
Then he said in 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.”
And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.
45 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaŵaiche ku che Maliamu paŵaiweni yaitesile Che Yesu yo, ŵakulupilile.
Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.
46 Nambo ŵandu ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵajawile kwa Mafalisayo ni kwasalila aila yaitesile Che Yesu.
But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.
47 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni Mafalisayo ŵausimanisye Nkungulu wekulu wa Ŵayahudi, ŵaliusisye, “Tutende chichi? Pakuŵa mundu ju akupanganya imanyisyo yejinji.
Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of 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 let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.
49 Pelepo jumo jwao jwakuŵilanjikwa che Kayafa, chele chaka cho ŵaliji Jwambopesi Jwankulu, ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe ngankumanyilila kose!
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;
50 Ana ngankuganisya kuti ikuŵajilwa mundu jumo ŵawile ŵandu wose, kupunda chijonanjikwe chilambo chose?”
You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.
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,
He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death 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 that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.
53 Nipele kutandilila lyuŵa lyo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵajilene kwaulaga Che Yesu.
And from that day they took thought together how to 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.
So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the 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 near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.
56 Nipele ŵaliji nkwasosa Che Yesu. Nombewo paŵasongangene pamo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵausyene, “Ana nkuganisya uli? Nkuti ngaaika ku chindimba chi?”
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?
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 given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.
