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 was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of 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.
they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (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, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Nambo che Yuda Isikaliote, jumo jwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao juchiŵagalauche Che Yesu ŵatite,
Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
5 “Ana ligongo chi pangagasumisya mauta go kwa ipaande selasini ya feza, ni feza syo kwapa ŵakulaga?”
'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, 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.
and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7 Nambo Che Yesu ŵatite, “Munansausye jwankongwe ju! Munneche, atesile yelei kwa ligongo lya lyuŵa lya masiko gangu.
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 Ŵakulaga chaŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose, nambo uneji nguŵa ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose.”
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and 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.
A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10 Nipele, achakulu ŵambopesi ŵajilene kwaulaga che Lasalo nombe,
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
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.
On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come 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 palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;'
14 Che Yesu ŵampatile mwanambunda, ŵakwesile mpela iyalembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela,
and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15 “Munajogope ŵandu ŵankutama ku Sayuni! Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akwika, akwesile mwanambunda!”
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' 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.
And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did 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, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
18 Nipele, mpingo wa ŵandu ula wajawile kukwachingamila, pakuŵa wose ŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu apanganyisye chimanyisyo cho.
because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having 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 see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20 Kwaliji ni Ŵagiliki ŵampepe mwa ŵandu ŵaŵaiche ku Yelusalemu kukupopela katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka chila.
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may 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 then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Che Filipo ŵajawile kukwasalila che Andulea, ni wose ŵanaŵaŵili ŵajawile kukwasalila Che Yesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaajanjile, “Saa jiiche ja Mwana jwa Mundu kukuswa!
And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may 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, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear 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 who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep 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 any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
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 hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to 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 the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
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, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Liloŵe limwalipikene nganiliŵa kwa ligongo lyangu une, nambo kwa ligongo lyenu.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Keleka kali katema ka kwalamula ŵandu ŵa chilambo chi, sambano Shetani jwakutawala pa chilambo chi chaŵinjikwe.
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 Nambo une pachinyakulikwe pachilambo, wose chinautile kukwangu.”
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 Kwa kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵalosilye chiwa chachi chichawe.
And this he said signifying by 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 heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the 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 to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where 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 in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 Namuno Che Yesu ŵaitendekenye imanyisyo yo mmbujo mwao, nambo ŵanyawo nganiŵakulupilila.
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing 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?”
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 Nambo nganakombola kukulupilila, pakuŵa che Isaya ŵasasile sooni kuti,
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
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, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
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 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.
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not 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 who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 Jwakumona une akwawona iyoyo ŵeŵala ŵandumile une.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
46 Uneji iiche pachilambo meje lilanguka kuti ŵanawose ŵakungulupilila une akatama mu chipi.
I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
47 Mundu jwakugapilikana maloŵe gangu nambo ngakugakamulisya, uneji ngaŵa juchinanlamule. Nguniika kukwalamula ŵandu ŵa pachilambo nambo iiche kukwakulupusya.
and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge 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 who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging 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 spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may 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 have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' (aiōnios g166)
