Yohana 12
1 Moŵa nsano ni limo likanaŵe lyuŵa lya chindimba cha Pasaka, Che Yesu ŵaiche ku Besania, paŵatamaga che Lasalo, mundu juŵasyuchikwe ni Che Yesu jula.
Then, six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 Kweleko ŵankolochesye Che Yesu chakulya cha ligulo ni che Masa ŵaliji nkwatumichila. Che Lasalo ŵaliji jumo jwao jwa ŵeŵala ŵaŵatemi pa chakulya pamo ni Che Yesu.
There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.
3 Nipele, che Maliamu ŵajigele chuupa cha mauta gambone gakununjila ga ntengo wekulungwa gagakolochekwe ni chitela chachikuŵilanjikwa nado, ni kwapakasya Che Yesu mmakongolo mwao ni ŵagasyusile makongolo ni umbo syakwe. Nyuumba jose janunjile chambone.
Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.
4 Nambo che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juchiŵagalauche Che Yesu ŵatite,
Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to deliver him up:
5 “Ana ligongo chi pangagasumisya mauta go kwa ipaande selasini ya feza, ni feza syo kwapa ŵakulaga?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo, ngaŵa kuti ŵaakolelaga chanasa ŵakulaga, nambo ŵaŵechete yeleyo kwa ligongo ŵaliji jwakugosa mbiko. Pakuŵa ŵaliji jwawiyi ŵajiŵaga kutyochela mu mbiko jo.
But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it.
7 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Munansausye jwankongwe ju! Munneche, atesile yelei kwa ligongo lya lyuŵa lya masiko gangu.
Then Jesus said: Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 Ŵakulaga chaŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, nambo uneji nguŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.”
For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
9 Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ŵaliji ku Besania. Nipele, ŵaiche kweleko ngaŵa kuti kwa ligongo lya kwawona Che Yesu pe, nambo ŵasachile kwawona che Lasalo nombe, mundu juŵasyusikwe ni Che Yesu.
Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ŵajilene kwaulaga che Lasalo nombe,
But the chief priests consulted that they might kill Lazarus also,
11 ni kwaligongo lya iyankopochele che Lasalo, Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaakanile ilongola ŵao, ni kunkulupilila Che Yesu.
because on account of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Malaŵi jakwe, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu uwaiche kuchindimba cha Pasaka ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali mwitala kwika ku Yelusalemu.
On the next day, a great multitude that had come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
13 Nipele, ŵajigele nyambi sya itela ya mitende ni ŵajawile kukwachingamila, ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Alapikwe Akunnungu! Akole upile ŵelewo ŵakwika mu liina lya Ambuje. Akole upile mwenye jwa ku Isilaeli.”
took branches of palm-trees, and went out to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.
14 Che Yesu ŵampatile mwanambunda, ŵakwesile mpela iyalembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela,
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon him, as it is written:
15 “Munajogope ŵandu ŵankutama ku Sayuni! Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akwika, akwesile mwanambunda!”
Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king comes, sitting on the colt of an ass.
16 Kundanda ŵakulijiganya ŵao nganaimanyililaga indu iyatyochele, nambo paŵasyuchile Che Yesu ni kukuswa, pelepo ŵakulijiganya ŵagakumbuchile Malembelo ga Akunnungu apala pagasasile yankati ŵelewo, ni ŵandu iŵatite pakumpanganyichisya.
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu paŵambilasile che Lasalo kutyochela mwilembe ni kwasyusya, ŵasalile ŵandu aila indu iyatendekwe.
The multitude therefore that was with him, testified that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead.
18 Nipele, mpingo wa ŵandu ula wajawile kukwachingamila, pakuŵa wose ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu apanganyisye chimanyisyo cho.
For this reason, also, the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵaŵechetesyene jwine ni jwine achitiji, “Nnole! Ngatukukombola kupanganya chachili chose! Ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo akunkuya.”
Then the Pharisees said among themselves: You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.
20 Kwaliji ni Ŵagiliki ŵampepe mwa ŵandu ŵaŵaiche ku Yelusalemu kukupopela katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka chila.
Among those who came to worship at the feast were certain Greeks.
21 Ŵanyawo ŵajaulile che Filipo, juŵatyochele musi wa ku Besesaida chilambo cha ku Galilaya ni kwasalila, “Achimwene, tukusaka twawone Che Yesu.”
These then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying: Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Che Filipo ŵajawile kukwasalila che Andulea, ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵajawile kukwasalila Che Yesu.
Philip came and told Andrew; and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Saa jiiche ja Mwana jwa Mundu kukuswa!
But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come that the Son of man must be glorified.
24 Ngunsalila isyene lusongolo lwa ngano chilusigalile kuŵa lusongolo lwa ngano pe, iŵaga nganilugwa paasi ni kuwa. Nambo lwawaga, lukumela ni kusogosya songolo sine syejinji.
Verily, verily I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it produces much fruit.
25 Mundu jwakuunonyela umi wakwe, jwelejo chausoyasye, nambo jwakusaka kuutyosya umi wakwe kwa Kilisito mu chilambo chi, jwelejo chaugose mpaka pachapegwe umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mundu jwakusaka kuundumichila, anguye, kuti papalipose pachime une ni katumetume jwangu ni pachaaŵe. Mundu jwalijose jwakuundumichila uneji, Atati ŵangu chamchimbichisye.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any one serve me, him will my Father honor.
27 “Sambano Mbumu jangu jikusupuka, none ana mechete chichi? Ana mechete kuti, ‘Atati ŵangu mungulupusye ni ichitendekwe pa katema ka?’ Ngwamba, chelecho ni chinaichile, mbite pa katema ka masausyo.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this purpose came I to this hour.
28 Atati, nlikusye liina lyenu.” Pelepo lyapikaniche liloŵe kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Nalikusisye, ni chinalikusye sooni.”
Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice from heaven: I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵaŵajimi pelepo ŵapilikene liloŵe lyo ni ŵane mwa ŵelewo ŵatite kwaliji ni kulindima ni ŵane ŵatite, “Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵaŵechete nawo!”
Then the multitude that stood by and heard it, said: It thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
30 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Liloŵe limwalipikene nganiliŵa kwa ligongo lyangu une, nambo kwa ligongo lyenu.
Jesus answered and said: This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Keleka kali katema ka kwalamula ŵandu ŵa chilambo chi, sambano Shetani jwakutawala pa chilambo chi chaŵinjikwe.
Now is the judgment of this world: now is the prince of this world cast out.
32 Nambo une pachinyakulikwe pachilambo, wose chinautile kukwangu.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
33 Kwa kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵalosilye chiwa chachi chichawe.
This he said, signifying what death he was about to die.
34 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula wajanjile, “Uweji tupilikene Mmalajisyo getu kuti Kilisito chatame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Mmwe nkuti uli, Mwana jwa Mundu aŵajilwe kunyakulwa? Ana aju Mwana jwa Mundu ju ali ŵaani?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that the Christ remains forever: and how say you that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Lilanguka lili pamo ni ŵanyamwe kwa moŵa kanandi. Njendeje katema lilanguka lyo lili lipali kuti chinansimane chipi, pakuŵa jwakwenda mu chipi ngakukumanyilila kwakwaula.
Then Jesus said to them: Yet a little while is the light with you: walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. For he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes.
36 Katema nli nkwete lilanguka lyo nkulupilile lilanguka lyo mmeje ŵandu ŵa lilanguka.” Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo Che Yesu ŵatyosile ni kulisisa.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become the sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and he departed, and concealed himself from them.
37 Namuno Che Yesu ŵaitendekenye imanyisyo yo mmbujo mwao, nambo ŵanyawo nganiŵakulupilila.
But though he had done so many signs in their presence, yet they believed not on him,
38 Nipele maloŵe gaŵaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu che Isaya gamaliile paŵatite, “Ambuje, ana ŵaani ŵaukulupilile utenga wetu? Ni machili ga Ambuje gawoneche kwa ŵaani?”
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Nambo nganakombola kukulupilila, pakuŵa che Isaya ŵasasile sooni kuti,
For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “Akunnungu ŵaatatesye meeso gao, kuti akalola ni meeso gao, sooni nalyungesye lunda lwao kuti akaimanyilila ni lunda lwao, akapitikwisye mitima jao kuti nalamye.”
He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should give them health.
41 Che Isaya ŵaŵechete yeleyo pakuŵa ŵauweni ukulu u Che Yesu ni kunkunguluchila ngani syao.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Natamuno yeleyo, achakulu ŵajinji ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu. Nambo kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa Mafalisayo, nganajitichisya kwakulilosya kuti akaaŵinga mu nyuumba jakupopelela.
But yet, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they would not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
43 Pakuŵa yanonyele kulapikwa ni ŵandu kupunda kulapikwa ni Akunnungu.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Mundu jwakungulupilila une, ngakungulupilila une pe, nambo akwakulupilila iyoyo ŵeŵala ŵandumile une.
Jesus cried, and said: He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 Jwakumona une akwawona iyoyo ŵeŵala ŵandumile une.
And he that sees me, sees him that sent me.
46 Uneji iiche pachilambo meje lilanguka kuti ŵanawose ŵakungulupilila une akatama mu chipi.
I have come a light into the world, that he who believes on me, may not remain in darkness.
47 Mundu jwakugapilikana maloŵe gangu nambo ngakugakamulisya, uneji ngaŵa juchinanlamule. Nguniika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nambo iiche kukwakulupusya.
And if any one hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Jwakungana une ni kugakana maloŵe gangu jwelejo akwete jwakwalamula. Liloŵe limechete lila chilyalamule pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has that which judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
49 Nganiŵecheta kwa malamulo gangu nansyene, nambo Atati ŵangu ŵandumile ŵelewo ni ŵanajisye chakuŵecheta ni chakwasalila ŵandu.
For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 Ni uneji ngumanyilila kuti malamulo gakwe gakwikanawo umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Nipele uneji nguŵecheta agala pe gaŵanajisye Atati ŵangu kuti nagaŵechete.” (aiōnios g166)
And I know that his commandment is life eternal. What things I speak therefore, as the Father has said to me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
