John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
muntu walikukwiweti Lazaro, walakolwa, walikwikala mumunshi waBetaniya, kucomwabo Maliya ne Malita.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Uyu Maliya endiye usa walananika mafuta anunkila kumyendo yaMwami nekumupukutisha mishishi yakendi. Lazaro walikuba mukwabo Maliya Lazalo ewalikukolwa.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
Lino bamakwabo batukashi balatuma mulumbe kuli Yesu kumwambileti, “Mwami, munenu ngomusuni nimulwashi.”
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
Yesu mpalanyumfwa walambeti, “Kukolwa uko nteshi kumushine Lazalo sobwe, nsombi cilenshiki kwambeti Lesa alemekwe, kayi kwambeti Mwanendi Lesa apewe bulemu.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu walikusuna Malita nekanike wakendi, kayi neLazalo.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Nomba mpalanyumfwa shamalwashi, Yesu walekala masuba abili pamusena popelapo mpwalikuba.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
Panyuma pakendi walambila beshikwiya bakendi, “katuyani kuYudeya.”
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Mwiyi, lino apa bamakulene baBayuda nkabayanda kumupwaya mabwe, Inga nicani mulayandanga kubwelelako?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
Yesu walambeti, “Sena busuba ntebukute mifunshya yacindi likumi ne ibili? Muntu nalendenga mu mumuni nkela kulisuntula pakwinga ukute kubona mumuni wacishici.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
Nsombi nalendenga mashiku empwela kulisuntula, pakwinga nkalendenga mu mumuni.”
11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
Mpwalambeco walabambileti, “Lazalo, munetu lono tulo, nsombi ndenga akumupundusha kutulo.”
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Mwami, nawona tulo, nabe cena.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Balo balikuyeyeti walikwamba shatulowa, nsombi Yesu walikwambeti Lazalo wafwa.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
Lino Yesu walabambila mwakutasoleketi, “Lazalo lafu,
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
Nkandabangonga, nsombi ndakondwa cebo canjamwe kwambeti mushome. Katuyani.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
Popelapo Tomasi, walikukwiweti mpundu, walambila beshikwiya banendi, “Katuyani nendi tuyetufwile pamo.”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Yesu mpwalashika kuBetaniya walacaneti Lazalo wabikwa kendi mumanda masuba ana alapiti.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
Munshi waBetaniya walikuba pepi neku Yelusalemu, musuma wakwanowa makilomita atatu.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Ecebo cakendi kwalikuba bantu bangi balesa kuli Malita ne Maliya kwisakubatontosha pacebo ca lufu lwa Lazalo mukwabo.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Malita mpwalanyumfeti Yesu lesanga, walayakumucinsha. Nomba Maliya walashala munga'nda.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
Lino Malita walambila Yesu, “Mwami, nemwanga kuno mukwetu Lazalo naliya kufwa.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
Nsombi nambi lino ndicinsheti Lesa namupeni ciliconse ncomwela kumumusenga.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Yesu walamwambileti, “Mukwenu napunduke.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Malita walambeti, “Ndicinsheti nakapunduke pa busuba bwakupwililisha bantu bonse bakapundukanga.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Yesu walamwambileti, “weshikupundusha bantu kubafu nekupa buyumi njame. Muntu washoma ame, nambi ufwa nakabe ne buyumi.
Kayi abo bayumi banshoma nteshi bakafwe sobwe. Sena ulashomonga?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami, ndashomeshesha njamwe Mupulushi Walaiwa, Mwana wa Lesa, walikuyandika kwisa pacishi capanshi.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
Malita mpwalambeco, walamukuwa Maliya kanike wakendi kumbali nekumwambileti, “Lashiki Shikwiyisha, lakukunga.”
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
Maliya mpwalanyumfwa bwite, walanyamuka bwangu bwangu, nekwisa kuli Yesu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Pacindici Yesu walinkatana ashika mumunshi, nsombi walikacili pamusena mpobalakumana ne Malita.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
Nomba bantu balikuba munga'nda kabatontosha Maliya, mpobalaboneti lanyamuku bwangu bwangu kufuma mung'anda, balamukonka. Balikuyeyeti lenga akulilila kumanda.
32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.”
Maliya mpwalashika palikuba Yesu, nekumubona, walaliwisha panshi kumyendo kwakendi nekwambeti, “Mwami, nemwanga kuno, mukwetu naliya kufwa.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
Yesu mpwalabona Maliya kalila kayi nebantu balikubapo nkabalila, walekatwa kumoyo kayi calamubaba.
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
Lino walabepusheti, “Mwalamubika kupeyo?” Balambeti, “Mwami, katuyani mukubone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu walalila.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
Popelapo bantu basa balambeti, “bonani, ncanga wamusuna.”
37 Some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
Nomba nabambi pakati pabo balambeti, “Muntuyu walashilika muntu washipilwa usa, Inga walalilwaconi kushinkilila Lazalo kwambeti nkatafwa?”
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Yesu walikacililila mucali, mpwalikuya kumanda. Lino manda alikuba amuliceni, pacishinga pa manda palikuba cilibwe.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
Lino walambeti, “Cifunyeni cilibweco.” Malita, mukwabo Lazalo walafwa, walamwambileti, “Mwami latatiki kendi kununka, pakwinga palapiti masuba ana.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
Yesu walamwipusheti, “Sena ndiya kukwambileti washoma nubone bulemu bwaLesa?”
41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
Lino bantu mpobalafunya cilibwe cisa. Yesu walalanga kwilu nekwambeti, “Ta, ndamulumbunga kwambeti mukute kunkumbula ndasenganga.
42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
Ndicinshi kwambeti mukute kunyumfwa cindi conse. Lino ndambangeci pacebo calikoto lyabantu balipano kwambeti, bashometi njamwe mwalantuma.”
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Mpwalambeco walakuwa mwakolobesheti, “Lazaro, pula!”
44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
Popelapo muntu usa walikuba wafwa walapula kenda kaliwapombailwa bikwisa byamalila kumakasa mpaka kumyendo, cikwisa cimbi calikuba cafwekelela kumenso. Yesu walabambileti, “Mupombololeni, kayi mumuleke ende.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
Bangi bantu balamushindikila Maliya, balabona bintu mbyalensa Yesu balamushoma.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Nsombi Bayuda nabambi balaya kuli bamakulene baBafalisi, kuyakubambila byonse Yesu mbyalensa.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Lino bamakulene beshimilumbo neBaFalisi balakuwa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, nekwipushaneti, “Nitwinseconi lino, pakwinga muntuyu lenshinga byeshikukankamanisha bingi?
48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Twamulekelela bantu bonse nibamushome, nomba Baloma nibakese bakatonongele Ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi ne mushobo wetu.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
Nsombi umo pakati pabo, lina lyakendi Kayafa, mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse mucaka ico, walabambileti, “Mwatabila aconi amwe!
50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
Sena amwe nkamulabonongeti caina kwambeti muntu umo afwile bantu bonse, kupita kwambeti mushobo wonse wonongeke?”
51 Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Cakubinga kwamba kulico nkakwalikuba kwamumano akendi sobwe. Pakwinga walikuba Shimilumbo Mukulene, walikushinshima kwambeti Yesu nakafwile mushobo wa bantu.
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
Cakubinga nteko kwambeti kubafwila bonkowa nsombi, kubunganya pamo bana baLesa balamwaika.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Kufumina busa busuba bamakulene ba Bayuda balatatika kupangana sha kushina Yesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
Weco Yesu nkalikwenda pantangalala pakati pabantu. Nomba walafumako nekuya kucishi calikuba pepi necinyika, kumunshi walikukwiweti Efulemu, nkwalekala kopeloko pamo nebeshikwiya bakendi.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Kusekelela kwa Pasika kwalaseng'ena pepi. Neco bantu bangi beshikufuma kuminshi balaya ku Yelusalemu kucika cakuliswepesha, Pasika nkayitana iyamba.
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?”
Balikumulangaula Yesu, lino mpobalabungana mu Nga'nda ya Lesa balepushaneti “Sena amwe mulayeyengaconi? Sena lesanga ku Pasika kuno?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
Nomba bamakulene beshimilumbo neBafalisi balambeti uliyense lenshibi kuli Yesu, atwinshibishe kwambeti bamwikate.
