John 12
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Pamberi pa mashaka sita ga msambu gwa Pasaka, Yesu kafikiti Betaniya pakaya pa Lazaru, muntu yakamzyusiyiti kulawa kwawahowiti.
2 So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
Aku wamtuliriti shiboga sha pamihi na Marita kaweriti kamtendera. Lazaru kaweriti yumu gwa walii wawaweriti wankuliya pamuhera na Yesu.
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.
Mariya katoliti supa ya uturi yawayishema naridu iherepa ya mpiya zivuwa, kamswaga Yesu mumagulu na kugapukuta kwa viri zyakuwi numba yoseri inunkira uturi.
4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
Yumu gwa wafundwa wa Yesu, Yuda Isikariyoti yakafiriti kumgalambuka Yesu, katakula,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
“Uturi awu waweza kuwuza kwa mpiya zya shibena mgongu sha myezi tisa na mpiya azi wawayupi wahushu?”
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.
Katakuliti hangu, kwakuwawonera ndiri wahushu lusungu, toziya kaweriti mwivi na yomberi ndo yakakoliti muhaku gwa mpiya na kavitoliti vyawatuliti amu.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
Yesu katakula, “Mumleki mdala ayu! Kavituriti vyoseri vyakaweriti navi kwa lishaka lya kusilwa kwa neni.
8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
Wahushu mwanawu mashaka goseri, kumbiti hamuweri ndiri na neni mashaka goseri.”
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.
Wayawudi wavuwa wapikiniriti handa Yesu Kabetaniya. Su womberi wagenditi aku, wapati kumwona Yesu, kayi wafiriti kumwona Lazaru ulii yakamzyusiyiti na Yesu kulawa kwa wahowiti.
10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
Watambika wakulu wasakuliti ntambu ya kumlaga Lazaru,
11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
toziya Wayawudi wavuwa wawalemiti wayawu na wamjimira Yesu.
12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Shirawu yakuwi, lipinga likulu lya wantu wiziti kumsambu wapikiniriti Yesu kaweriti mnjira kwiza Yerusalemu.
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!”
Watola maputira ga mitendi, walawa kugenda kumwanka, wabota pawatakula, “Gwenga mlopoziya gwetu! Katekelerwi ayu yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa. Katekelerwi Mfalumi gwa Israeli.”
14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
Yesu kakwena mwana punda, kalivaga pampindi pakuwi gambira ntambu yagatakuliti Malembu,
15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
“Kotu kutira gwe lushi lwa Sayuni, Mfalumi gwaku kamkwiza, Kalivaga pampindi pa mwana punda.”
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.
Shipindi ashi wafundwa wakuwi wavimaniti ndiri shitwatira ashi shoseri, kumbiti Yesu pawamkwiswiti kala, womberi wagaholiti Malembu Mananagala gatakuliti kuusu yomberi na wagatenditi aga kwa yomberi.
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.
Lipinga lya wantu walii wawaweriti pamuhera nayomberi shipindi pakamshemiti Lazaru kulawa mlipumba, kamzyusiya kulawa kwawahowiti, watakuliti yagalawiriti.
18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
Toziya ya aga, lipinga likulu lya wantu awa wamgenderiti Yesu, mana woseri wapikiniriti handa Yesu katenditi liuzauza ali.
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!”
Mafalisayu waligambiziyana, “Mwona? Hapeni tuwezi kutenda shoseri! Mlori, wantu wa pasipanu woseri wankumfata.”
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Kuweriti na Wagiriki wamu mu wantu yawaweriti wiza Yerusalemu kumkwisa Mlungu mushipindi sha msambu.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
Womberi wamgenderiti Filipu, yakalawiriti Betisayida mu Galilaya na watakula, “Mtuwa, tufira kumwona Yesu.”
22 Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
Filipu kagenda na kamgambira Andereya na wawili wagenda na kumgambira Yesu.
23 But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Yesu kawawankula, Saa isoka kala kwa Mwana gwa Muntu kukwiswa!
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.
Nukugambirani nakaka, mbunji ya nganu isigala mbunji hera payiyalwa ndiri mulitapaka na kuwola. Handa payiwola, su ilera mbeyu zivuwa.
25 Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Woseri yawafira ukomu wawu hawawuhoviyi, yakagahoviya makaliru gakuwi pasipanu, hakagaponiziyi kwa makaliru ga mashaka goseri. (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.
Yakafira kuntendera ndo mpaka kanfati, pawera neni na ntumintumi gwangu hakaweri, kayi muntu pakantendera Tati hakampanani ligoya.
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.
“Vinu rohu yaneni intama, ntakuli shishi? Ntakuli, ‘Tati, gunopoziyi shipindi ashi pashisoka?’ Kumbiti ayi ndo toziya ya kwiza. Su shimpiti shipindi ashi sha ntabiku.
28 Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Tati, Kakwiswi litawu lyakuwi.” Panu liziwu litakula kulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu. “Nulikwisa na hanulikwisi kayi.”
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
Lipinga lya wantu lyaligolokiti palii lipikaniriti liziwu ali na wamu wawu watakuliti, “Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kankuyowera nayomberi!”
30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
Kumbiti Yesu kawagambira, “Liziwu ali lirandula ndiri kwajili yaneni, ira kwajili ya mwenga.
31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Vinu ndo shipindi sha pasipanu kutozwa, vinu mtuwa gwa pasipanu hawamwusiyi.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
Neni panu panyasulwa kumpindi kwa Mlungu hanumkwezeniziyi kila muntu.”
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Kakutakula hangu kalanguziya ntambu gaa hakahowi.
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)
Lipinga ali limwankula. Twenga watugambira Malagaliru getu handa Kristu hakalikali mashaka goseri. Su, guweza hashi kutakula eti mwana gwa Muntu imbidi kanyasulwi? Mwana gwa Muntu ndo gaa? (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.
Yesu kawagambira, “Gulangala haguweri pakati penu katepu hera. Mgendi toziya mnawu gulangala agu, ntiti hapeni iwapati, toziya yakagendagenda muntiti kavimana ndiri kwakagenda.
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.
Shipindi shamuwera na gulangala agu, mugujimiri, su mpati kuwera wantu wa gulangala.” Pakalongiti kala visoweru avi, Yesu kagenditi zakuwi na kulififa kutali na womberi.
37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
Tembera Yesu katenditi mauzauza goseri aga palongolu pawu, womberi wamjimira ndiri.
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?”
Su visoweru vyakatakuliti Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu vitimiya. “Mtuwa, gaa yakajimiriti ujumbi watutakuliti? Na uwezu wa Mtuwa ulilanguziya kwa gaa?”
39 For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
Na hangu womberi waweza ndiri kujimira, toziya Isaya katakula viraa,
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.”
“Mlungu kagatula lwisi masu gawu Na kagazezetiya mahala gawu, Wawoni ndiri kwa masu gawu, Wavimani ndiri kwa mahala gawu, Na wanizira ndiri neni, Mlungu katakula, Su mpati kuwaponiziya.”
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
Isaya katakuriti visoweru avi toziya kawoniti ukwisa wa Yesu, pakatakula visoweru vyakuwi.
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.
Ata hangu, kuvuwa kwa watuwa wa wakulu wa Shiyawudi wamjimiriti Yesu. Kumbiti toziya ya mafalisayu, wamjimiriti ndiri paweru kwa kutira handa wawatuli gweka mnumba ya Mlungu.
43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
Wafiriti kuzyumwa na wantu kuliku kuzyumwa na Mlungu.
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
Shakapanu Yesu katakula kwa liziwu likulu, “Muntu yakanjimira, kanjimira ndiri neni hera, ira kamjimira viraa uliya yakantumiti.
45 And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
Yakamona neni kankumwona viraa ulii yakantumiti.
46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
Neni na Gulangala, niza pasipanu su woseri wawanjimira waweri ndiri muntiti.
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.
Yakapikanira shisoweru shangu uganu kagakola ndiri, neni hapeni numtozi, hanumtozi ndiri. Niza ndiri kuwatoza wantu wa pasipanu ira kuwalopoziya.
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.
Woseri yawanema neni na kuujimira ndiri ujumbi waneni, kwana yumu yakiza kuwatoza. Visoweru vyantakula haviweri vyakuwatoza mulishaka lya kupelera.
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.
Ayi ndo nakaka, toziya neni ntakula ndiri kwa uwezu wangu namweni, kumbiti Tati yakantumiti ndomweni yakantumiti ntakuli shishi na nyoweri shishi.
