Johana 11
1 Ngʼat moro ma nyinge Lazaro ne tuo. Ne en ja-Bethania, dala gi Maria gi Maritha nyamin mare.
Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Maria-ni ma owadgi Lazaro makoro tuoni ema noolo mo mangʼwe ngʼar e tiend Ruoth mi oyweyo gi yie wiye.
(It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)
3 Omiyo nyimine Lazaro nooro wach ni Yesu niya, “Ruoth, osiepni mihero tuo.”
So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."
4 Kane Yesu owinjo mano, nowacho niya, “Tuono ok en mar tho, to mano otimore mana ni mondo Nyasaye oyud duongʼ, kendo mondo Wuod Nyasaye oyud duongʼ kuome.”
Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
5 Yesu nohero Maritha gi nyamin mare kod Lazaro.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 To kata kamano, kane owinjo ni Lazaro tuo, nomedo bedo kama ne entie kuom ndalo ariyo.
When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.
7 Eka nowacho ni jopuonjrene niya, “Wadoguru Judea.”
Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea."
8 To jopuonjrene nodwoke niya, “Rabi, ere kaka didog kuno to nyocha eka jo-Yahudi dwaro goyi gi kite?”
"Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"
9 Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Donge nitie seche apar gariyo e odiechiengʼ? Ngʼat mawuotho godiechiengʼ ok chwanyre, nimar ler mar piny miyo oneno.
"Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees the light of this world.
10 Kowuotho gotieno eka ochwanyore, nikech oonge gi ler.”
But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
11 Bangʼ kane osewacho kamano, nomedo loso kodgi kowacho niya, “Osiepwa ma Lazaro nindo osetero, to adwaro dhi kuno mondo achiewe.”
He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
12 Jopuonjrene nodwoke niya, “Ruoth, konindo aninda, to obiro mana chiewo.”
"Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
13 Yesu ne wuoyo kuom tho Lazaro, to jopuonjrene to ne paro ni oloso mana kuom nindo mapile.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
14 Omiyo koro nonyisogi ratiro niya, “Lazaro otho,
So then He told them plainly,
15 to amor ni nyocha otho ka aonge kuno, mondo eka uyie. Kata kamano, wawuog wadhiuru ire.”
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him."
16 Eka Thoma, ma bende iluongo ni Didimas, nowachone jopuonjre mamoko niya, “Wan bende wadhiuru mondo kata ka en tho, to watho kode.”
"Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "that we may die with him."
17 Kane Yesu ochopo, to noyudo ka Lazaro osetieko ndalo angʼwen e bur.
On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.
18 Bethania ne chiegni gi Jerusalem madirom kar kilomita adek,
Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;
19 kendo jo-Yahudi mangʼeny noyudo osebiro ir Maritha gi Maria mondo ohogi e kuyo margi kuom tho mar owadgi.
and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
20 Kane Maritha owinjo ni Yesu biro, nowuok oko mondo oromne, ka Maria to nodongʼ ei ot.
Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
21 Maritha nowacho ni Yesu niya, “Ruoth, ka dinyocha bed ni in ka, to owadwa dine ok otho.
So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.
22 To angʼeyo ni kata mana sani Nyasaye biro miyi gimoro amora mikwaye.”
And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."
23 Yesu nowachone niya, “Owadu biro chier.”
"Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.
24 Maritha nodwoke niya, “Angʼeyo ni obiro chier kendo e ndalo chier, ma en chiengʼ giko piny.”
"I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."
25 Yesu nowachone niya, “An e chier kendo An e ngima. Ngʼat moyie kuoma kata otho to nodok mangima,
"I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Eka nodwoke niya, “Ee, Ruoth, ayie ni in e Kristo ma Wuod Nyasaye, ma nonego obi e piny.”
"Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
28 Kane osewacho mano, to nodok oluongo Maria nyamin-gi tenge, mowachone niya, “Japuonj nika, kendo oluongi.”
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you."
29 Kane Maria owinjo mano, noa malo piyo piyo mi odhi ire.
So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him.
30 Noyudo Yesu pok odonjo ei dalano; to ne pod ochungʼ oko kama Maritha noromonee.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
31 Ka jo-Yahudi manoyudo nigi Maria ei ot, kahoye, nonene kochungʼ girikni modhi oko, negiluwo bangʼe, ka giparo ni odhi e liel mondo oywagi kuno.
So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.
32 Kane Maria ochopo kama Yesu ne nitie monene gi wangʼe, nopodho e tiende mowachone niya, “Ruoth, ka dinyocha bed ni in ka to owadwa dine ok otho.”
Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
33 Kane Yesu onene koywak, kendo ka jo-Yahudi mane gibirogo ire bende ne ywak, chunye nodoko malit kendo nochandore.
Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,
34 Nopenjo niya, “Ne uiko ringre kanye?” Negidwoke niya, “Ruoth, bi wadhi wanyisi.”
though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.
35 Pi wangʼ Yesu nochwer.
Jesus wept.
36 Eka jo-Yahudi nowacho niya, “Neyeuru kaka nohere!”
"See how dear he held him," said the Jews.
37 Ji moko kuomgi to nopenjore niya, “Jal ma yande oyawo wangʼ muofuni, donge nyocha onyalo gengʼo tho Lazaro?”
But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?"
38 Yesu nochopo kar liel ka chunye nigi kuyo maduongʼ moloyo. Ne en rogo, kendo noyie kidi e dhoge.
Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.
39 Yesu nowacho niya, “Goluru kidino oko e dho liel.” To Maritha ma nyamin ngʼat mane othono nokwer niya, “Ruoth, sani koro en gi tik marach, nimar osetieko ndalo angʼwen nyaka notho.”
"Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
40 Yesu nowachone niya, “Donge nende anyisi ni kiyie to ibiro neno duongʼ mar Nyasaye?”
"Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"
41 Omiyo ne gingʼielo kidino oko. Eka Yesu nongʼiyo malo mowacho niya, “Wuora, agoyoni erokamano nikech isewinja.
So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.
42 Angʼeyo bende ni isebedo kiwinja ndalo duto, to asewacho wechegi mondo joma ochungʼ ka oyud konyruok, kendo mondo giyie nine iora adier.”
I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me."
43 Bangʼ wacho mano, Yesu noluongo gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Lazaro, wuog oko!”
After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 Mi ngʼama nothono nowuok oko, ka bedene gi tiendene onal gi lewni molir olir, kendo ka lela wangʼe bende otwe gi nanga alwora. Yesu nowachonegi niya, “Gonyuru lep liel oko kuome mondo uweye odhi.”
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."
45 Kuom mano, jo-Yahudi mangʼeny mane obiro hoyo chuny Maria, kendo ma noneno gima Yesu notimo, noyie kuome.
Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;
46 Ji moko kuomgi to nodhi ir jo-Farisai monyisogi gima Yesu nosetimo.
though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.
47 Eka jodolo madongo gi jo-Farisai nochoko buch jo-Sanhedrin, kendo negipenjore niya, “Watim angʼo? Ngʼatni medo timo timbe honni mangʼeny moloyo.
Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
48 Ka waweye odhi nyime kama, to ji duto biro yie kuome, kendo kamano otimore to jo-Rumi biro biro mi kaw karwa ka, kaachiel gi pinywa bende.”
If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."
49 To achiel kuomgi, mane nyinge Kaifas, mane en jadolo maduongʼ e higano nowachonegi niya, “Un joma ok riek kata matin!
But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.
50 Ok unyal fwenyo ni en gima ber moloyo mondo ngʼato achiel otho ni ji duto, moloyo ka oganda duto otho.”
You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."
51 Ne ok owacho wachni gi pache owuon, to kaka ne en jadolo maduongʼ e higano, nokoro wach ni Yesu ne biro tho ne piny jo-Yahudi,
It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus was to die for the nation,
52 to ok ne pinyno kende, to ne nyithind Nyasaye duto mokere, mondo ochokgi kaachiel, kendo omi gibed gimoro achiel.
and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.
53 Omiyo chakre chiengʼno kadhi nyime negichano kaka ginyalo nego Yesu.
So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.
54 Kuom mano, Yesu koro ne ok wuothi e dier jo-Yahudi ka ji nene. Nopondo modhi e gwengʼ man but thim, e dala miluongo ni Efraim, kendo nobet kuno gi jopuonjrene.
Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.
55 Ka kinde mag Pasaka mar jo-Yahudi ne chiegni chopo, ji mangʼeny moa e gwenge mopogore opogore nodhi Jerusalem mondo gipwodhre kapok Pasaka ochopo.
The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Negisiko ka gimanyo Yesu, kendo negipenjore ngʼato gi ngʼato, ka gichungʼ ei alwora mar hekalu niya, “Uparo nade? Donge obiro biro e sawoni koso ok obi biro?”
They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
57 Negiwacho kamano nikech jodolo madongo gi jo-Farisai ne osegolo chik ni ngʼato angʼata mongʼeyo kuma Yesu nitie nyaka ternegi wach mondo gidhi gimake.
Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
