John 12
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Mazuba amana iyanza ni limwina habusu bwa Mukiti we Paseka, Jesu abezi kwa Betania, kwabali kuhala Lazaro, yababuswa kwali kubafwile.
2 So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
Chobulyo nibamutendela mulalilo kwateni, mi Mareta njabali kuha zilyo, kono Lazaro ibali njizumwi yabena nabana babena ni Jesu hetafula.
3 Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Linu Maria nichahinda ilita yebotela yamafuta adula anuka nenza, ni kuetila hamatende a Jesu, ni kuasinda ni suki zakwe. Inzubo niyezula mununko mulotulotu wamafuta anunka nenza.
4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
Judasi Isikariota, zumwi wabarutwana bakwe, yeti namubeteke, nati,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
“Chinzi aa mafuta hasana abawuzwa madola achita myanda yotatwe ni kuha kubahumanehi?
6 Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
Abali kuwamba bulyo, isiñi kuti abali kufwila bahumanehi inse, nata, kono ibaka lakuti ibali musa: njabakweta chikwama chamasheleñi mi abalikwiba chibabikwa mwateni.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
Jesu abati, “Mumuzuminine kuti abikile chakwete izuba lyangu lyekepelo.
8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
Kamubakubile ni bahumanehi inako yonse, kono ime keti nimubekubile name inako yonse”.
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Mweyonako ikunga ikando la Majuda nilyeziba kuti Jesu kwabena, mi babezi, isiñi kukezila Jesu bulyo, kono ni kwiza kubona Lazaro bulyo, ili yababusi Jesu kubafwile.
10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
Baprisita bakulwana ni chibazumizana hamwina chamulelo wakwihaya Lazaro naye;
11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
mukuti ibali chebaka lyakwe Majuda hababazwi chabungi ni kukazumina kwa Jesu.
12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Halizwa ikunga ikando nilyakeza ku Mukiti we Paseka. Linu habazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite kwa Jerusalema,
13 They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
nibahinda mitavi yenzalu ni kuyenda kukamukatanyeza, ni kuhuweleza, “Hosanna! Yotohonolofezwe kwa Ireeza njozuna yokeza mwizina la Simwine, Simwine Mukulwana wa Isilaele.”
14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
Jesu abawani mwana wedonki mi natanta haili; sina mukubañolezwi,
15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
“Musiyemutiyi, inwe mubantu ba Zion, Simwine wenu Mukulwana ukezite, natantite hamwana wedonki.”
16 At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
Barutwana bakwe kanababazuwisi izi zintu kumatangilo; kono inako yahewa mata akubuka kubafu, nibahupula kuti izi zintu zibañoleltwe chebaka lyakwe ni kuti babatendi izi zintu kwali.
17 Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
Lyahanu ikunga libena naye inako yasupa Lazaro kuzwa mwikumbu imi abamubusi kuzwa kubafwile, ibabi bupaki.
18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
Ibali chelyo ibaka ikunga liba zwili kwateni kukamukatanyeza mukuti babazuwi kuti njiye yabatendi iyi makazo.
19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
Chobulyo Bafalisi ni chibawambinsena mukati kabo, “Hamubone, kakwina chimuwola kutenda, mubwene, chisi chose chimwichilile.”
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Magerike bamwi mweyonako babena mukati kwabana babali kuya kukulapela munako yamukiti.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
Aba bantu babayi kwa Filipi, yabali kuzwa kwa Betsaida mwa Galilea, babamubuzi, nibati, “Fumwetu, tusaka kubona Jesu.”
22 Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
Filipi abayendi kukawambila Andreasi; Andreasi abayendi ni Filipi, mi nibakawambila Jesu.
23 But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Jesu nabetaba nati, “Ihola chiyasika yakuti Mwana Muntu abe hamazimo makando akububekwa.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Ikumbya lineline, nimiwambila, uluhaiba luheke lwamundale ni luwila mwibu ni kufwa, kalushale lolona mbona bobulyo; kono haiba nilufwa, kalubike zichelantu zingi.
25 Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Iye mwine yosuni buhalo bwakwe mwabuluze; kono iye mwine yohinda buhalo bwabamwi batu kuti bwabutokwa kuhita buhalo bwakwe iye mwine kahale ni Ireeza kuyakuile. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
Haiba muntu unisebeleza, mumusiye anichilile; henikele kwiwulu, ni muhikana wangu kabe kwateni naye. Haiba muntu unisebeleza, Tayo mwamuhe itompo.
27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
Lyahanu luhuho lwangu lukatazehete: Ketinilapele? 'Tayo, unihune mweyinu ihola'? “Kono njilona ibaka ili, hanibezi kuti zenitakisiwe.
28 Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Tayo, utumise kububana kwako.” Linu linzwi ni lyazwa kwiwulu mi nilyati, “Nibalitumisi kale, mi kanilitumise hape.”
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
Linu ikunga libazimene habumbali ni kulizuwa ni lyati kuti invula yapalakata. Bamwi nibati, “Ingeloi libali kuwambi kwali.”
30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
Jesu abetabi nati, “Ili linzwi kanalibezi kwangu, kono kwenu.
31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Hanu chilinako yakuti chinu chisi chiatulwe: Hanu chili inako yakuti ninisinyesinye mata a Satani yobusa chihanu chinsi.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
Imi Ime, heti bantu kabaninyamwine mwiwulu hachifapano, kanikwitile zumwi ni zumwi kwangu.”
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Abawambi bulyo kutondeza kuti mufutazi wefu lyeti nafwe.
34 The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
Ikunga libamwitabi, “Tubazuwi kuzwa kumulao kuti Jesu kekalile kuyakwile. Kwiza buti kuti uwambe, 'Mwana Muntu utameha kuhazikwa hachifapano'? Njeni uzu Mwana Muntu yowamba zakwe?” (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Jesu linu chati kubali, “Iseli kalibe kubile nanwe chenakozana ifwihi. Muyende hamuchina iseli, kokuti ififi sanzilimihitilili. Iye yoyenda mulififi kaboni kwakaya.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
Inako yimwina name, muzumine kumanzwi angu initi ya Ireeza kayibe nanwe.” Jesu abawambi izi zintu mi kuzwahateni naliyendela ni kukaliwungula kuzwa kubali.
37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
Nihakuba kuti Jesu abatendi imakazo zingizingi habusu bwabo, nihakubabulyo kanababazumini kwali.
38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Kokuti inzwi lamutanikizi Isaya lizuzilizwe, ili umo abati: “Simwine, njeni yabazumini kwiñusa lyetu? Mi iyanza lya Simwine libeziwahaza kwani?
39 For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
Cheli ibaka kanababali kuwola kuzumina, mukuti Isaya naye abati,
40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
“Abatendi menso abo kuba buhofu, ni kuzumiza inkulo zabo; chenzila yimwi nibabawoli kubona ni menso abo ni kuzuwisisa ni nkulo zabo, ni kusanduka, imi ninibabahozi”
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
Isaya abawambi izi zintu mukuti ababoni ikanya ya Jesu imi abawambi kazakwe.
42 Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
Kono nihakwinabulyo, bungi bwababusi babazumini kwa Jesu; kono chebabakala Bafalisi, kanababali kuzumina kweyo indaba kokuti sanzibakanisi kunjila mwisinagoge.
43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
Babalikusaka kutembwa kubantu kuhita kutembwa kuzwa kwa Ireeza.
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
Jesu nahuweleza nati: “Yozumina kwangu, kazumini bulyo kwangu kono uzumina bulyo ni kwali zonitumite,
45 And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
imi uzoyonibwene ubwene bulyo ni yonitumite.
46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
Nibezi kuchisi ninili niseli kukuti yense yozumina kwangu sanzi nashali mulififi.
47 As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Haiba muntu zuhi no zuhi uzuwa manzwi angu kono kaabiki, kanimuatuli; mukuti kananibezili kuatula chisi, kono kwiza kuhaza chisi.
48 There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
Iye yonikana ni yasazumini manzwi angu wina yomuatula: kaibe nji inzwi linibawambi letinilimuatule izuba lamamanimani.
49 I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
Mukuti kananibawambi kazangu, kono njiza Tayo yabanitumi, yabanihi itaelo kuamana ni chiniswanela kuwamba ni chiniswanela kuluta.
