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.
Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus 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.
So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat 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.
Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Nambo che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juchiŵagalauche Che Yesu ŵatite,
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, which should betray him, saith,
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 pence, 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 this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.
7 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Munansausye jwankongwe ju! Munneche, atesile yelei kwa ligongo lya lyuŵa lya masiko gangu.
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.
8 Ŵakulaga chaŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, nambo uneji nguŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.”
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye 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.
The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus’ sake 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 took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 ni kwaligongo lya iyankopochele che Lasalo, Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaakanile ilongola ŵao, ni kunkulupilila Che Yesu.
because that by reason 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 morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they 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.”
took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.
14 Che Yesu ŵampatile mwanambunda, ŵakwesile mpela iyalembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela,
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 “Munajogope ŵandu ŵankutama ku Sayuni! Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akwika, akwesile mwanambunda!”
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’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.
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto 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 when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
18 Nipele, mpingo wa ŵandu ula wajawile kukwachingamila, pakuŵa wose ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu apanganyisye chimanyisyo cho.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that 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.”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is 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 that went 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.”
these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Che Filipo ŵajawile kukwasalila che Andulea, ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵajawile kukwasalila Che Yesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Saa jiiche ja Mwana jwa Mundu kukuswa!
And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should 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 unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth 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 loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (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 man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honour.
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 cause came I unto this hour.
28 Atati, nlikusye liina lyenu.” Pelepo lyapikaniche liloŵe kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Nalikusisye, ni chinalikusye sooni.”
Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of 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!”
The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
30 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Liloŵe limwalipikene nganiliŵa kwa ligongo lyangu une, nambo kwa ligongo lyenu.
Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not 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 is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Nambo une pachinyakulikwe pachilambo, wose chinautile kukwangu.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
33 Kwa kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵalosilye chiwa chachi chichawe.
But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should 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 therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, 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 therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Katema nli nkwete lilanguka lyo nkulupilile lilanguka lyo mmeje ŵandu ŵa lilanguka.” Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo Che Yesu ŵatyosile ni kulisisa.
While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Namuno Che Yesu ŵaitendekenye imanyisyo yo mmbujo mwao, nambo ŵanyawo nganiŵakulupilila.
But though he had done so many signs before them, 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 spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Nambo nganakombola kukulupilila, pakuŵa che Isaya ŵasasile sooni kuti,
For this cause they could not believe, for that 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 hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
41 Che Isaya ŵaŵechete yeleyo pakuŵa ŵauweni ukulu u Che Yesu ni kunkunguluchila ngani syao.
These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake 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.
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], 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.
And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 Jwakumona une akwawona iyoyo ŵeŵala ŵandumile une.
And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
46 Uneji iiche pachilambo meje lilanguka kuti ŵanawose ŵakungulupilila une akatama mu chipi.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
47 Mundu jwakugapilikana maloŵe gangu nambo ngakugakamulisya, uneji ngaŵa juchinanlamule. Nguniika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nambo iiche kukwakulupusya.
And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them 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 rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same 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 spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given me a 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: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
