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, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
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 the Mary who [later] anointed the Lord with myrrh 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!”
So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love 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.”
Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through 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.
So, when He heard that he was sick He stayed where He was two more days!
7 Nipele ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, “Tuujile sooni ku Yudea!”
Then after this He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
8 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaasalile, “Jwakwiganya, nganagapite moŵa gamajinji Ŵayahudi ŵasachile kummulaga ni maganga, kwachichi nkusaka tuujile sooni kweleko?”
The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and you are going back there?”
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 there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks during the day he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Nambo mundu ajendaga chilo chalikuŵale pakuŵa lilanguka nganilipagwa.”
But if anyone walks in the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
11 Che Yesu paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵaasalile, “Mbusanga jwetu che Lasalo agonile, nambo uneji chinyaule kukunjimusya.”
Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.”
12 Ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵansalile, “Ambuje iŵaga agonile chalame.”
His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.”
13 Che Yesu ŵaŵechetaga nkati chiwa chi che Lasalo, nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaganisyaga kuti che Lasalo agonile.
But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.
14 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile pangasisa kuti, “Che Lasalo ajasiche,
So then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus died.
15 nambo kwa ligongo lyenu ngusengwa, pakuŵa nganima kweleko, kuti ŵanyamwe nkulupilile. Sambano tujaule kwa jwelejo.”
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. 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 (called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, “Let's us go too, so 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 had come, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Nsinda wa ku Besania waŵandichile ku Yelusalemu mpela maili siŵili.
(Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaiche kukwatusya ntima che Masa ni che Maliamu kwa ligongo lya chiwa cha mpwao.
and many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.)
20 Nipele che Masa paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu akwika, ŵajawile kukwachingamila, nambo che Maliamu ŵasigele pamusi.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting at home.
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 have died.
22 Nambo, namuno sambano ngumanyilila kuti chachili chose chichimwaŵende Akunnungu champe.”
But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Che Yesu ŵansalile, “Mpwenu chasyuche.”
Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Che Masa ŵajanjile, “Ngumanyilila kuti chachisyuka pa lyuŵa lya mbesi Akunnungu pachiŵasyusye ŵandu.”
Martha says 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. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;
26 ni mundu jwalijose jwakutama ni kungulupilila une ngajasika sooni. Uli nkugakulupilila gelego?” (aiōn g165)
and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Che Masa ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Elo Ambuje! Ngukulupilila kuti ŵalakwe ni Kilisito, Mwana jwa Akunnungu, ŵakwika pa chilambo pano.”
She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
28 Che Masa paŵaŵechete yeleyo ŵajinjile nkati ni kwaŵilanga che Maliamu mlumbugwe ni kwasalila chipasipasi, “Jwakwiganya aiche ni sooni akumbilanga.”
Having said these things she went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling you!”
29 Nombe che Maliamu paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵajimwiche kwakwanguya ni kwajaulila Che Yesu.
Upon hearing it she gets up quickly and goes to Him.
30 Che Yesu ŵaliji nganajinjile mu nsinda, nambo ŵaliji kulakula kuŵachingamilwe ni che Masa.
(Now Jesus had not yet entered 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, consoling her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they 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!”
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had 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.
So when Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 Nipele ŵausisye, “Ana mummisile kwapi?” Ni ŵansalile, “Ambuje, njise kunnole.”
And He said, “Where have you put him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Che Yesu ŵalisile.
Jesus wept.
36 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵatite, “Nnole yatite pakunnonyela!”
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵatite, “Iŵaga ŵagalamisye meeso ga jwangalola jula, kwachichi nganakombola kuntenda che Lasalo anajasiche?”
But some of them said, “Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this one from dying?”
38 Nipele Che Yesu akuno ali nkusupuka sooni mu ntima mwao, ŵaiche pa lilembe. Lilembe lyene lyaliji mbugu lyaliunichikwe ni liganga.
Then, groaning within Himself again, Jesus arrived at the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39 Che Yesu ŵasalile, “Ngalambule liganga lyo!” Che Masa alumbugwe jwajasiche jo, ŵaasalile, “Ambuje, atandite kununga, pakuŵa atemi mwilembe moŵa ncheche!”
Jesus says, “Remove the stone!” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks; it's been four days!”
40 Che Yesu ŵansalile che Masa, “Ana nganinansalila kuti mwakulupililaga chimuuwone ukulu wa Akunnungu?”
Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
41 Nipele ŵagalambwile liganga lila. Che Yesu ŵalolite kwinani ni ŵatite, “Atati nguntogolela pakuŵa mmwejo nkuumbilikanila.
Then they took away the stone from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You heard 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 hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵaŵilasile kwaliloŵe lyekulungwa, “Che Lasalo! Nkopoche paasa!”
Upon saying these things He shouted 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.”
And out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Loose him and let him go.”
45 Nipele Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaŵaiche ku che Maliamu paŵaiweni yaitesile Che Yesu yo, ŵakulupilile.
So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
46 Nambo ŵandu ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵajawile kwa Mafalisayo ni kwasalila aila yaitesile Che Yesu.
But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them 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 chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous 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 like this everybody will believe into 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 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 on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation 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 on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation;
52 sooni ngaŵa kwa Ŵayahudi pe nambo kuti ŵasonganganye pamo ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapwilingene mwinemwine kuti aŵe chindu chimo.
and not only on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)
53 Nipele kutandilila lyuŵa lyo achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵajilene kwaulaga Che Yesu.
So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.
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.
Therefore Jesus no longer moved about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and 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 Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order 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?”
So they were looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they were saying to each other, “What do you think—that he won't come 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 together issued an edict that if anyone knew where He was he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
