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 unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among 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 for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining 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, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Nambo che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juchiŵagalauche Che Yesu ŵatite,
[But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
5 “Ana ligongo chi pangagasumisya mauta go kwa ipaande selasini ya feza, ni feza syo kwapa ŵakulaga?”
Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
6 Ŵaŵechete yeleyo, ngaŵa kuti ŵaakolelaga chanasa ŵakulaga, nambo ŵaŵechete yeleyo kwa ligongo ŵaliji jwakugosa mbiko. Pakuŵa ŵaliji jwawiyi ŵajiŵaga kutyochela mu mbiko jo.
Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
7 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Munansausye jwankongwe ju! Munneche, atesile yelei kwa ligongo lya lyuŵa lya masiko gangu.
Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
8 Ŵakulaga chaŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, nambo uneji nguŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.”
For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
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 great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.
10 Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ŵajilene kwaulaga che Lasalo nombe,
But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
11 ni kwaligongo lya iyankopochele che Lasalo, Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ŵaakanile ilongola ŵao, ni kunkulupilila Che Yesu.
because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing 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, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing 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 the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, —even the King of Israel!
14 Che Yesu ŵampatile mwanambunda, ŵakwesile mpela iyalembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela,
And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
15 “Munajogope ŵandu ŵankutama ku Sayuni! Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akwika, akwesile mwanambunda!”
Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon 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.
These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done 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 among the dead, was bearing witness.
18 Nipele, mpingo wa ŵandu ula wajawile kukwachingamila, pakuŵa wose ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu apanganyisye chimanyisyo cho.
On this account, the multitude met him also, 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.”
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
20 Kwaliji ni Ŵagiliki ŵampepe mwa ŵandu ŵaŵaiche ku Yelusalemu kukupopela katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka chila.
Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in 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 unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, —and were requesting him, saying—Sir! We desire to see, Jesus.
22 Che Filipo ŵajawile kukwasalila che Andulea, ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵajawile kukwasalila Che Yesu.
Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus.
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Saa jiiche ja Mwana jwa Mundu kukuswa!
But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath 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, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
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; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mundu jwakusaka kuundumichila, anguye, kuti papalipose pachime une ni katumetume jwangu ni pachaaŵe. Mundu jwalijose jwakuundumichila uneji, Atati ŵangu chamchimbichisye.
If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
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 can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!
28 Atati, nlikusye liina lyenu.” Pelepo lyapikaniche liloŵe kutyochela kwinani lichitiji, “Nalikusisye, ni chinalikusye sooni.”
There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven—I both 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!”
[So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying—It hath, thundered. Others, were saying—A messenger, unto him, hath spoken.
30 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Liloŵe limwalipikene nganiliŵa kwa ligongo lyangu une, nambo kwa ligongo lyenu.
Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
31 Keleka kali katema ka kwalamula ŵandu ŵa chilambo chi, sambano Shetani jwakutawala pa chilambo chi chaŵinjikwe.
Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
32 Nambo une pachinyakulikwe pachilambo, wose chinautile kukwangu.”
And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
33 Kwa kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵalosilye chiwa chachi chichawe.
But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner 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)
The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to 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, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
36 Katema nli nkwete lilanguka lyo nkulupilile lilanguka lyo mmeje ŵandu ŵa lilanguka.” Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo Che Yesu ŵatyosile ni kulisisa.
While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
37 Namuno Che Yesu ŵaitendekenye imanyisyo yo mmbujo mwao, nambo ŵanyawo nganiŵakulupilila.
And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing 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 said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
39 Nambo nganakombola kukulupilila, pakuŵa che Isaya ŵasasile sooni kuti,
On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
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 hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand 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 spake concerning 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, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
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 aloud, 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 vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.
46 Uneji iiche pachilambo meje lilanguka kuti ŵanawose ŵakungulupilila une akatama mu chipi.
I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
47 Mundu jwakugapilikana maloŵe gangu nambo ngakugakamulisya, uneji ngaŵa juchinanlamule. Nguniika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nambo iiche kukwakulupusya.
And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 Jwakungana une ni kugakana maloŵe gangu jwelejo akwete jwakwalamula. Liloŵe limechete lila chilyalamule pa lyuŵa lya mbesi.
He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day.
49 Nganiŵecheta kwa malamulo gangu nansyene, nambo Atati ŵangu ŵandumile ŵelewo ni ŵanajisye chakuŵecheta ni chakwasalila ŵandu.
Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given 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 age-abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak. (aiōnios g166)
