John 11
1 At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Linu mukwame zumwi yabali kusumpwa chezina lya Lazaro yabali kulwala. yaba kuzwa mwa Betenia, mumunzi mwabali kwikala Maria ni mukulwe Mareta.
2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
nji Maria yaba singi Simwine mafuta esende ni kumupemula kumatende ninsuki zakwe, imi Lazaro yabali kulwala ibala nchizyakwe.
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
Linu banchizyakwe nichibatumina iñusa kwa Jesu, nibacho, “Simwine, bone, iye yosaka ahulu ulwala.”
4 When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
Linu Jesu hazuwa bulyo, nati, Uku kulwala kahena kufwa, kono bwakubonisa maata a Simwine chobulyo nimwana wa Ireeza uswanela kulumbekwa kachibatendahali.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Linu Jesu abali kusaka ahulu Mareta ni mwanchakwe ni Lazaro bulyo.
6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
Chobulyo hazuwa kulwala kwa Lazaro, Jesu abekali mazuba amwi obele muchibaka mwabekele.
7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
Linu hakumana bulyo, Chowamba kuba rutwana bakwe, “Twende tuye kwa Judea hape.”
8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
Barutwana chibawamba kwali, “Muruti, munako inu Majuda basaka kukugobola nimabwe, linu iwe usaka kubola kwateni hape?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
Jesu nichati, kahena kuti inhola zitenda ikumi ni obele eseli mwizuba? Linu zumwi muntu hayenda musihali, keti aholofale kapa kusitatala kakuti ubwene mwahitite cha liseli lyefasi.
10 But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
Nihakuba bulyo, hayenda masiku, mwasitatale kakuli iseli kalina mwali.”
11 After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
Nichawamba izi zintu, linu hamana izo zintu, nichabawambila, “Mulikanetu Lazaro chalala, kono nikaya ili kuti nikamubuse.”
12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
Barutwana linu chibawamba kwali, “Simwine, haiba ulele, mwabe nenza.”
13 They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
Linu Jesu chabataluseza kuamana niifu, Chobulyo abo babali kuhupula kuti uwamba iñonzi zakulikatulusa.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
Linu Jesu nichabataluseza, “Lazaru ufwile.
15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
Nisangite, kebaka lyenu, kuti kana nibena kwateni kokuti nimubazumini. Twende kwali.”
16 Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
Tomasi yaba kunsumpwa Didima, chawamba ku Barutwana, “Tuyende naswe tukafwe ni Jesu.”
17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
Linu Jesu hakeza, neza kuwana kuti Lazaro chowina kale mwikumbu chamazuba onee.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
Linu Betania ibena hembali ni Jerusalema, kazibima zotatwe.
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
Bungi bwa Majuda babali kwiza kwa Mareta ni Maria, kubaombaomba kuamana ni nchinzabo.
20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Mary stayed at home.
Linu Mareta, hazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite, nichibaka mukatanyeza, cobulyo Maria abekele munzubo.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Mareta linu chawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, kapa kobena kunu, nchizyangu nasena bafwi.
22 But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
Nangati hanu, nizi kuti chimwi nichimwi chokumbila kwa Ireeza, mwakuhe.”
23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
Jesu chawamba kwali, “Nchizyako mwabuke hape.”
24 Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Mareta chawamba kwali, “Nizi kuti mwabuke hape he henzuho luzuba lwamamani mani.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
Jesu chawamba kwali, “Njeme ni nzuho ni buhalo; yense yozumina kwangu, niha fwa, mwa hale;
chobulyo yense yohala ni kuzumina kwangu keti nafwe. Na muzumina iyi ndaba?” (aiōn g165)
27 “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
Nichawamba kwali, “Ee, Nfumwangu, nizumina kuti njewe Kreste, mwana we Ireeza, yokezite mwi nkanda.”
28 After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
Hamana kuwamba izi, chozwa mwateni nikusumpa mwanchakwe Maria kakuli ungula. chamuwambila, “Muruti chasika mi ukusumpa.”
29 And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
Linu hazuwa bulyo, chonyamuka kapili nikuya kwali.
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
Linu Jesu kanabeni kusika mumunzi abali kusina kuchibaka kwaba kamukatanyezi Mareta.
31 When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
Imi Majuda, babena naye mwinzubo babali kumuomba omba nibabona Maria hanyamuka kapili pili kuzwila hanze, chiba mwichilila, kuhupula kuti chokaya kwikumbu aka siliseze kwateni.
32 When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Linu Maria, hakeza kwabekele Jesu imi namubona, chowila hamatende akwe ni kumuwambila, “Simwine, kapa kobena kunu, nchinzyangu nasena abafwi,”
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
Linu Jesu chamubona nasilisa, imi ni Mujuda wakeza naye chokwete usilisa,
34 “Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.
chabahinditwe muluhuho lwakwe mi abali kubilela; chawamba, “Mubamulaziki kuhi?” Niba mwitaba, “Nfumwangu, wize zo bone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu nasilisa.
36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
Linu Majuda cibawamba, Mubone mwaba kusakila Lazaru!”
37 But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”
Imi bamwi chibawamba, “Kanjiyena uzu mukwame, yabeyaluli menso amukwame wamuhofu, hape ibaleti kuti uzu mukwame kuti afwe?”
38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
Linu Jesu hape, nalizuwa kutomoha inkulo hape, nayenda kwikumbu. linu chibali ilindi, imi ibwe libatulitwe hateni.
39 “Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
Jesu nati, “Muzwise hateni ibwe.” Mareta, nchinzye wa Lazaro, iye yofwile, nawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, cheinu inako chitupu chichinunka, kakuti chikwahinda mazuba onee kuzwa habafwili.”
40 Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Linu Jesu nati kwali, Naa kana nibakuwambili kuti, heba uzumina, mokabone mubuso wa Ireeza?”
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Linu chibazwisa ibwe hekumbu. Jesu nakatula menso akwe kulola kwiulu imi nati, “Tate, Nilitumela kakuti wateka kwangu.
42 I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
Nizi kuti utekanga kwangu inako yonse, kono niwamba bulyo kebaka lyekunga linizimbulukite kunibika mukati, ili kuti bazumine kuti ubanitumi.”
43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Chobulyo nawamba buti, nahuweleza chalizwi lizuweka ahulu, “Lazaro, wize hanze!”
44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
Mukwame yabafwile nazwa mwikumbu; matende akwe nimayanza abali kuzingeletwe masila. Jesu nawamba kubali, “Mumusumunune imi mumusiye ayende.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
Linu bungi bwa Majuda babakezi kwa Maria imi nibabona zabatendi Jesu, niba zumina kwali,
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
kono bamwi mukati kabo chibayenda ku Bafalisi imi chibakawamba zabatendi Jesu.
47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
Cwale mapurita bakulwana ni Bafalisi chibakopanya inkuta hamwina imi nibawamba, “Mutupange chihi? Uzu mukwame upanga imakazo zingi.
48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
heba mutumusiye yenke sina buti, bonse mubazumine kwali; Maroma mubatunyange minzi yetu yonse ni nkanda yetu.”
49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
Nihakuba bulyo, zumwi mukwame mukati kabo, Kayafa, yabali muprisita mukulwana mwecho chilimo, nati kubali, “Kakwina chimwizi.
50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
Kamubwene kuti kulotu nibutuka kuti mukwame yenke afwile chichaba kundeye kuti inkanda yonse imaniswe.”
51 Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
Lyahanu izi zawamba kazizwi kwali mwine. kono, kakuti abali muprisita mukulwana icho chilimo, aba polofiti kuti Jesu mwafwile inkanda;
52 and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
kono isini inkanda bulyo imi kono kuti bana ba Ireeza bahasene bekale hamwina kalusika lonke.
53 So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.
Linu kuzwa ulo luzuba niba zuminzana mwete behaile Jesu.
54 As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.
Kelyo ibaka Jesu nasiya kuyenda mukati ka Majuda nibamubwene, imi chozwa mweyo inkanda nikuya mwihalaupa mumuleneñi wa Efraimi. Uko abakekali ni barutwana.
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.
Lyahanu i Paseka ya Majuda chibena hafuhi, imi bungi bwabo nibaya mwa Jerusalema kuzwa mwinkanda i Paseka niseni kusika kuti bakalijoloze abo bene.
56 They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
Babali kukabulola Jesu, imi nibena mwi Tempele nibakwete balibuza buza, “Muhupula bule? Na sanzi akezi kumukiti?”
57 But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.
Linu muprisita mukulwana ni Bafalisi niba hewa mulao kuti haiba kwina yowizi kwena Jesu, uswanela kuwamba ili kuti bamukwate.
