John 11
1 Now a certain Lazarus, from Bethany of the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
Vaba mutu wumosi wuba mbevo, dizina diandi Lazale. Niandi wuba muisi Betani, buala buba mvuandanga Maliya ayi khombꞌandi Malata.
2 And Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Maliya, niandi nketo wudukudila Pfumu Yesu malasi ma tsudi mu malu ayi wufiona mawu mu zitsuki ziandi. Lazale wuba kimbevo, wuba khomba yi bakala yi Maliya.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou love is sick.
Buna bakhomba bandi babaketo zituma mutu kuidi Yesu mu kunkamba: —Pfumu, tala mutu wowo weta zola wulembo bedi.
4 But when Jesus heard, he said, This sickness is not about death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
Vayi Yesu bu kawa bobo, wutuba: —Kimbevo kioki kilendi kumvonda ko, vayi kidi mu diambu di nkembo wu Nzambi muingi Muana Nzambi kakemboso mu kimbevo kioki.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Muaki Yesu wuzola buwombo Malata, khombꞌandi yi nketo ayi Lazale.
6 When therefore he heard that he is sick, then he actually remained two days in that place he was.
Vayi bu kawa ti Lazale wulembo bedi, wubuela vuanda bilumbu biodi va buangu kioki kaba.
7 Later after this he says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
Bosi wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Tuvutukanu ku Yuda.
8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again.
Vayi minlonguki miandi minkamba: —A Labi, keti ndambu kuandi yi bilumbu biviokidi, Bayuda bazola kuzuba matadi vayi buabu tidi kuaku buela vutuka ku Yuda!
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Muisi ko kumi zithangu zizole mu muini e? Enati mutu dieti va muini kalendi bumina thutu ko bila wulembo moni kiezila ki nza.
10 But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
Vayi enati mutu wulembo diati va builu, buna maka bumina thutu, kiezila kisi ko mu niandi.
11 He spoke these things, and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has become asleep, but I go that I may awake him.
Bu kamanisa tuba mambu momo, buna wubuela diaka: —Nkundi eto lazale wulembo leki tulu vayi ndiedi mu kuenda nkotula.
12 His disciples therefore said, Lord, if he has become asleep, he will be healed.
Minlonguki mimvutudila: —Pfumu, enati lekidi tulu buna wela beluka.
13 But Jesus had spoken about his death, but those men thought that he was speaking about the restfulness of sleep.
Muaki Yesu wuyolukila lufua luandi vayi bawu babanzila ti Yesu wuyolukila tulu toto tunlekongo.
14 Therefore Jesus then said to them plainly, Lazarus died.
Buna Yesu wuba sudikisa ti: —Lazale fuidi.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.
Vayi khini ndimmona mu diambu dieno bu ndikambu ba vawu muingi luwilukila. Vayi tuendano buabu ku kadi.
16 Therefore Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Tona mutu wowo baba ntedilanga Didime, wukamba bakhomba bandi minlonguki: —Tuendano kuna mu diambu beto mamveto tufua yandi va kimosi.
17 So when Jesus came, he found him already four days being kept in the sepulcher.
Yesu bu katula, wuyenda bata buna Lazale weka bilumbu biya ku tsi ntoto.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs away from it,
Betani diba divula difikama ayi Yelusalemi, nduka-nduka bikilometele bitatu,
19 and many of the Jews had come to the women, about Martha and Mary, so that they might console them about their brother.
ayi Bayuda bawombo bayiza kuidi Malata ayi Maliya mu kuba bomba mu diambu di khombꞌawu wu bakala.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
Malata bu kawa ti Yesu lembu yizi, wuyenda kundengana vayi Maiya wuba wuvuanda ku nzo.
21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.
Malata wukamba Yesu: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko.
22 But I know even now that as many things as thou may ask of God, God will give to thee.
Vayi buabu nzebi kuama ti dioso kuandi diambu di wela lomba kuidi Nzambi, Nzambi wela kuvana diawu.
23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother will rise.
Yesu wunkamba: —Khombꞌaku wela fuluka.
24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection at the last day.
Malata wumvutudila: —Nzebi ti wela fuluka mu lumbu kitsuka, batu bu bela fuluka.
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live.
Vayi yesu wunkamba: —Minu ndidi mfulukulu ayi luzingu. Woso wukunguilukila, ka diambu ko wufua, wela zinga.
26 And every man who lives and believes in me will, no, not die, into the age. Do thou believe this? (aiōn g165)
Woso wunzinga ayi wukunguilukila kalendi fua nkutu ko. Wilukidi mawu e? (aiōn g165)
27 She says to him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that thou are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.
Malata wumvutudila: —Nyinga Pfumu, minu nguilukidi ti ngeyo Klisto, Muana Nzambi, wunkuiza va nza.
28 And when she said these things, she departed and called Mary her sister privately, saying, The teacher is here and calls thee.
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Malata wuyenda tela mu kinsueki Maliya, khombꞌandi yinketo, mu kunkamba: —Maliya, Nlongi wizidingi, ngeyo kantela!
29 When that woman heard, she rises quickly, and comes to him.
Maliya bu katumbu wa Malata; wutelama mu nsualu ayi wuyenda kuidi Yesu.
30 (Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.)
Muaki buna Yesu kakikotidi ko mu buala, wuba kaka va buangu kioki Malata kayiza kundenginina.
31 The Jews therefore being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying that she was going to the sepulcher that she may weep there.
Bayuda bobo baba ayi Maliya mu nzo ayi bobo baba kumbomba, bu bamona ti Maliya wutumbu telama mu nsualu ayi wutotuka, buna banlandakana bila babanizla ti wedi ku biziami ku dila.
32 Therefore when Mary came where Jesus was, after seeing him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.
Vayi Maliya wutula vaba Yesu, bu kammona buna wubua va malu mandi ayi wunkamba: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko!
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who gathered with her, weeping, he groaned in the spirit, and was himself troubled.
Yesu bu kamona ti Maliya wulembo didi va kimosi ayi bayuda bobo babayandi, buna kiadi kingolo kimbuila mu ntima.
34 And he said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.
Buna wuyuvula: —Kuevi luntudidi e? Bamvutudila: —Pfumu Yiza tadi.
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu wudila.
36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him.
Bayuda batuba: —A beno…, Tala phila yikanzodila!
37 But some of them said, This man who opened the eyes of the blind man, was he not also able to cause that this man also would not die?
Vayi bankaka mu bawu batuba: —Mutu wawu niandi wuzibula meso ma phofo, nganu kasi vanga ko diambumuingi mutu wawu kabika fua e?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the sepulcher. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Yesu wuluta buela mona kiadi kiwombo mu ntima. Wuyenda ku biziami. Ziami beni kiba kisokolo mu ditadi. Va muelo vawu batula ditadi dinneni.
39 Jesus says, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of the man who came to end, says to him, Lord, he smells now, for it is the fourth day.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Botulanu ditadi diodi. Malata, khomba yi mutu wufua, wunkamba: —Pfumu, weka kuiza tsudi bila kiaki kieka lumbu kinya tona kazikulu.
40 Jesus says to her, Did I not to say thee, that if thou believed, thou will see the glory of God?
Yesu wunkamba: —Ndisi kukambanga ko ti mawumona nkembo wu Nzambi enati wilukidi e?
41 So they took away the stone where the man who died was laying. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heard me.
Babotula ditadi. Yesu wuvumbula meso mandi ku diyilu, wutuba: —Tata, ndivutudidi matondo bila wukunguilanga.
42 And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me.
Nzebi ti weta kunguila mu zithangu zioso, vayi enati ndintubila bobo mu diambu di nkangu wawu wunzungididi muingi bakikinina ti ngeyo wuthuma.
43 And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out.
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuyamikina mau mbembo yingolo: —Lazale, totuka!
44 And the man who died came forth, wrapped hands and feet with grave-clothes, and his face had been wrapped around with a face cloth. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and allow him to go.
Mutu wufua wutotuka, wuzingu bitendi-bitendi bi minledi mu mioko ayimu malu; zizi kiandi kifuku ku tsi nledi. Yesu wuba kamba: —Lunnianguna, lumbika kenda kuandi.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and who saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
Bawombo mu Bayuda bobo bayiza kuidi Maliya, bu bamona mambu momo mavanga Yesu, banwilukila.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus did.
Vayi bankaka mu bawu bayenda bata Bafalisi ayi baba kamba mamo mavanga Yesu.
47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? Because this man does many signs.
Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bakutakana mu lukutukunu lunneni ayi bakamba: —Mbi tufueti vanga e? Bila mutu wawu wulembo vangi bikumu biwombo.
48 If we allow him this way, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and the nation.
Beto kumbika ti kalembo kavanganga bobo, buna batu babo mabanwilukila. Buna basi Loma bela kuiza, bela tulula nzuꞌeto Nzambi ayi tsi eto.
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,
Vayi wumosi mu bawu, dizina diandi Kayife, niandi wuba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, wuba kamba: —A buna lusi zaba kadi kiasa ko e?
50 nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not the whole nation should perish.
Luisi zaba ko ti bulutidi mboti mutu wumosi kafua mu diambu di batu boso ayi tsi yoso yibika bungu!
51 Now he said this not from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation.
Kasia tuba mambu momo mu luzolo luandi veka ko. Vayi bu kaba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, buna wubikula ti Yesu kafueti fua mu diambu di tsi andi.
52 And not for the nation only, but also that he might gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
Bika sia ti mu diambu di tsi kaka, vayi mu diambu di kutikisabana babo ba Nzambi bamana sasakana muingi bakituka mutu wumosi.
53 So from that day they consulted together so that they might kill him.
Tona lumbu kina, bawizana va kimosi mu diambu bamvondisa.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the region near the wilderness into a city called Ephraim, and he stayed there with his disciples.
Diawu, Yesu kasi buela kukimonikisa ko va meso ma bayuda. Wubotuka kuna, wuyenda ku zunga kifikimini ayi dikanga, ku divuladibeti tedilanga Efalayimi. Wuvuanda kuna ayi minlonguki miandi.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the countryside before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves.
Pasika yi Bayuda yifikama batu bawombo baba mu mala bayenda ku Yeluzalemi tuamina Pasika yiba mu diambu di bakivedisa.
56 Therefore they sought Jesus, and spoke with each other as they stood in the temple, What does it seem to you? That he will, no, not come to the feast?
Batomba Yesu. Ayi bu baba mu Nzo Nzambi bayuvasana bawu na bawu: —Buevi lumbanza e? Lummuena ti kalendi kuiza ko ku nyengo e?
57 Now also the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that if any man knew where he is, he should disclose it, so that they might take him.
Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bavana lutumunu muidi batu ti woso kuandi wunzaba kuidi Yesu, buna kafueti samuna muingi bankanga.
