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.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, who 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 reclining at the 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 very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Nambo che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juchiŵagalauche Che Yesu ŵatite,
Then one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who was about to betray Him, said,
5 “Ana ligongo chi pangagasumisya mauta go kwa ipaande selasini ya feza, ni feza syo kwapa ŵakulaga?”
“Why wasn’t this fragrant oil 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.
Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and since he had the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it.
7 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Munansausye jwankongwe ju! Munneche, atesile yelei kwa ligongo lya lyuŵa lya masiko gangu.
Jesus therefore said, “Leave 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.”
You will always have the poor among you, but you won’t always have me.”
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.
Then a great multitude of the Jews learned that He was there; and they came, not just for Jesus’ sake, but also so that they could see Lazarus, who He had raised from the dead.
10 Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ŵajilene kwaulaga che Lasalo nombe,
So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
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 were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12 Malaŵi jakwe, mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu uwaiche kuchindimba cha Pasaka ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ali mwitala kwika ku Yelusalemu.
The next day, when a great multitude that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to 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.”
they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and shouted: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ The King of Israel!”
14 Che Yesu ŵampatile mwanambunda, ŵakwesile mpela iyalembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela,
Then Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written:
15 “Munajogope ŵandu ŵankutama ku Sayuni! Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akwika, akwesile mwanambunda!”
“Don’t be afraid, Daughter of Zion; look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
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 didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about 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.
So the crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
18 Nipele, mpingo wa ŵandu ula wajawile kukwachingamila, pakuŵa wose ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu apanganyisye chimanyisyo cho.
The crowd also met Him because they 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 are accomplishing nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after Him!”
20 Kwaliji ni Ŵagiliki ŵampepe mwa ŵandu ŵaŵaiche ku Yelusalemu kukupopela katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka chila.
Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
21 Ŵanyawo ŵajaulile che Filipo, juŵatyochele musi wa ku Besesaida chilambo cha ku Galilaya ni kwasalila, “Achimwene, tukusaka twawone Che Yesu.”
Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and told him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Che Filipo ŵajawile kukwasalila che Andulea, ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵajawile kukwasalila Che Yesu.
Philip came and told Andrew, then Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Saa jiiche ja Mwana jwa Mundu kukuswa!
Jesus answered them, saying, “The time has come for the Son of Man to 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.
Most assuredly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces many grains.
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)
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, and anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for 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 anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, my Father will honor them.
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 my soul has become troubled; and what will I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? No, for this purpose I came to this time.
28 Atati, nlikusye liina lyenu.” Pelepo lyapikaniche liloŵe kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Nalikusisye, ni chinalikusye sooni.”
Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from Heaven, saying, “I have both 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!”
Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Liloŵe limwalipikene nganiliŵa kwa ligongo lyangu une, nambo kwa ligongo lyenu.
Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Keleka kali katema ka kwalamula ŵandu ŵa chilambo chi, sambano Shetani jwakutawala pa chilambo chi chaŵinjikwe.
Now judgment is upon this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 Nambo une pachinyakulikwe pachilambo, wose chinautile kukwangu.”
And I, if I am lifted up from the Earth, will draw everyone to myself.”
33 Kwa kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵalosilye chiwa chachi chichawe.
He was saying this to indicate the kind of 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)
Therefore the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever, so how can You say, ‘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.
Jesus told them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you don’t know where you are going.
36 Katema nli nkwete lilanguka lyo nkulupilile lilanguka lyo mmeje ŵandu ŵa lilanguka.” Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo Che Yesu ŵatyosile ni kulisisa.
Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.
37 Namuno Che Yesu ŵaitendekenye imanyisyo yo mmbujo mwao, nambo ŵanyawo nganiŵakulupilila.
Although He had performed so many signs in front of them, they still didn’t believe in 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?”
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And who has the arm of the LORD been revealed to?”
39 Nambo nganakombola kukulupilila, pakuŵa che Isaya ŵasasile sooni kuti,
Therefore they couldn’t 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 hearts, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts and turn — and I would heal them.”
41 Che Isaya ŵaŵechete yeleyo pakuŵa ŵauweni ukulu u Che Yesu ni kunkunguluchila ngani syao.
Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
42 Natamuno yeleyo, achakulu ŵajinji ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu. Nambo kwa ligongo lya kwajogopa Mafalisayo, nganajitichisya kwakulilosya kuti akaaŵinga mu nyuumba jakupopelela.
Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they weren’t confessing Him, for fear that they might be put out of the synagogue;
43 Pakuŵa yanonyele kulapikwa ni ŵandu kupunda kulapikwa ni Akunnungu.
because they sincerely loved men’s approval more than God’s approval.
44 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Mundu jwakungulupilila une, ngakungulupilila une pe, nambo akwakulupilila iyoyo ŵeŵala ŵandumile une.
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me doesn’t just believe in me, but in Him who sent me.
45 Jwakumona une akwawona iyoyo ŵeŵala ŵandumile une.
Whoever sees me sees Him who sent me.
46 Uneji iiche pachilambo meje lilanguka kuti ŵanawose ŵakungulupilila une akatama mu chipi.
I have come into the world as light, that everyone who believes in me should not stay in darkness.
47 Mundu jwakugapilikana maloŵe gangu nambo ngakugakamulisya, uneji ngaŵa juchinanlamule. Nguniika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nambo iiche kukwakulupusya.
If anyone hears the words I speak, and doesn’t keep them, I don’t judge them; because I didn’t come 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.
Whoever rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges them. The words that I spoke are what will judge him at the last day.
49 Nganiŵecheta kwa malamulo gangu nansyene, nambo Atati ŵangu ŵandumile ŵelewo ni ŵanajisye chakuŵecheta ni chakwasalila ŵandu.
For I haven’t spoken on my own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent me has given me commandment, what to say, and what to 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)
I know that His commandment is eternal life, so the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.” (aiōnios g166)
