< John 12 >

1 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ
2 So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.
ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܬܐ ܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܥܡܗ
3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܕܢܪܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܐ ܤܓܝ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܡܫܚܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܝܚܗ ܕܒܤܡܐ
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?
ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܕܒܢ ܡܫܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܠܬ ܡܐܐ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ
6 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܓܠܘܤܩܡܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܐ
7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.
ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝܗ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܒܘܪܝ ܢܛܪܬܗ
8 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ
9 The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
ܘܐܬܪܥܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
11 because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ
12 On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.
ܫܩܠܘ ܤܘܟܐ ܕܕܩܠܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
ܐܫܟܚ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܒܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܐ ܡܠܟܟܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܟܝ ܘܪܟܝܒ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܒܪ ܐܬܢܐ
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
ܘܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.
ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing; lo, the world is gone after him.
ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܒܬܪܗ
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܠܡܤܓܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ
21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ
23 And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܪܕܬܐ ܕܚܛܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܦܠܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܦܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܝܬܝܐ
25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܤܢܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܛܪܝܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor.
ܐܢ ܠܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܝܩܪܝܘܗܝ ܐܒܐ
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.
ܗܫܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܗܐ ܫܓܝܫܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܦܨܢܝ ܡܢ ܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
ܐܒܐ ܫܒܚ ܫܡܟ ܘܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܒܚܬ ܘܬܘܒ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ
29 The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܥܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
ܘܐܢܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܪܝܡܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܓܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܠܘܬܝ
33 But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܐܬ
34 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܡܥܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܩܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܕܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܗܠܟܘ ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܕܪܟܟܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ
36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܬܛܫܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:
ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܝܡܢ ܠܫܡܥܢ ܘܕܪܥܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ
39 For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
ܕܥܘܪܘ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܚܫܟܘ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܒܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܘܐܤܐ ܐܢܘܢ
41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
ܐܦ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ
43 for they loved the glory [that is] of men more than the glory [that is] of God.
ܪܚܡܘ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
44 And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
45 And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܚܙܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܢܩܘܐ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ
47 And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
ܘܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
ܡܢ ܕܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܕܕܐܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܠܬ ܗܝ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
49 For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
ܕܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܠܠ
50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal; the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܗ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ (aiōnios g166)
