John 11
1 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
U igun wa ba yo ni Lazaru, a lo'a hi indji u Baitanya, ni gbu ba Mariyamu ni vayi ma Marta.
2 It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Mariyamu wa gban yen ni Bachi na se za ma ni futu ma, wa vayi Lazaru si lo'a.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Imri vayi maba ton ba adu hi ni Yesu, andi, “Bachi, ya, indji wa'u son si to.”
4 But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
Wawo, na tre, “Lilo mba ni nji hi kwu na nitu gbere san rji ni ndu vren Rji ndu fe gbere san ni tu ma.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu ni son Marta, ni vayi ma vren wa ni Lazaru.
6 When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.
Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
7 Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Mala, Yahudawa bari si wa ndi ba ta ni tita, u la ni son k'ma hi ni ki?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;
Yesu tre niba, andi inton u kpan rji ana awa wulon don ha na? Indji wa a zren ni ri, ana kubu zana, ni wa asi to kpan u gbungbulu yi.
10 but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
Indji wa ni zren ni chu, ani kubu za nitu wa ikpan na he na.
11 These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
A tre kpe biyi ni kogon biyi, a hla ni bawu, “Ikpan mbu Lazaru a si kru nna, mi si hi bubu shime lunde ni na.
12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
13 But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.
Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
14 Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.
U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.
Mi ngyiri ni tubi, niwa mina he na ni ndu kpanyeme. Biri ki hi niwu.”
16 Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Toma, wa ba yo ndi vren u hlen hen, a hla ni mburualmajere ba ndu baba hi ngame na hi kwu ni Yesu.”
17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.
Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,
Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.
Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
20 Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.
Wa Marta wo andi Yesu ni ye, na luhi ni ndu wawu hi same wu'a u Maryamu a son zu ni miko.
21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
22 but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
Zizan me mi to ikpe wa u bre Rji ani no'u.”
23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;
Yesu hla niwu, “Ime yi mi ta shime u klekle, Ime yi mi re (iviri), indji wa a kpanyeme ni me, ani ta kwu, ani ta shime;
ni indji wa ahe ni re (iviri), na kpanyeme ni me, ana kwu na; u kpanyeme ni wa?” (aiōn g165)
27 She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
U wa hla niwu, “E, Bachi, mi kpanyeme andi iwuyi u Almasihu, Vren Rji, iwa ani ye ni gbungbulu'a.
28 And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.
Ni wa a hla naki, na kma hi ni vayi ma Maryamu, na yo ti gigran, na hla, “Mala ye ri ye, na ni yo.”
29 She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to him.
Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.
Yesu na ri ni vi gbu'a rina, ahe ni bubu wa Iwa ka same ni wu'a.
31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.
Ni Yahudawa wa ba he baba Maryamu biwa ba ye chi ba ni kwu'a, bato lu rju ni miko gbagbla me, u ba lu hu, ni ban andi a rju ni bubu yi ni nyu be.
32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Wa a ka ri ni bubu wa Yesu he'a na ka Joku niwu ni za ma, na hla, “Bachi, una he nita, vayimuy ana kwu na.”
33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,
Wa Yesu ato'u si yi, ni Yahudawa biwa ba hu'a, i wa kpere ni Ruhu na lo ni suron;
34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu yi.
36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?
Ba mba ba tre, “Wawu igu yi wa a ya no indji u fyen to bubu'a, ani na ya u gu hi bubu kwu na?
38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Yesu he ni mi si lo suron ni tu ma, na hi ni be'a. Ibe'a a he ni ko fron tita u ba ka he ni tita.
39 Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].
U Yesu tre, “Ban tita yi rju.” Marta vayi Lazaru wa a kwu a, a hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, zizan ikon kmo a gla ye niwa a ti ivi nzah ni kwu.
40 Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;
U ba ban tita rju, Yesu zun shishi na tre, “Iti, mi ngyiri niwu niwa u wo me.”
42 but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Mi to wa u wo me ni ton wawu, nitu son yi wa gyen klan kagon mu yi mi tre wa, ni ndu ba kpanyeme andi ahi wuyi u ton me.”
43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.
U ndji wa a kwu'a a lu rju, u za ma ni wo ma ba he ni lilo'o ni pri, shishima he ni kika ni gbanjan nklon. Yesu hla bawu, “Bika siwu, ndu hi.”
45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;
Gbugbuwu ni mi Yahudawa wa ba ye ni Maryamu ba to ikpe wa Yesu ti'a u ba kpanyeme niwu.
46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
U bari ba kma hi naka hla ni Farisawa ikpe wa Yesu a ti'a.
47 The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.
U Firistoci bi nigon,'a ni Farisawa ba yo indji bi kpanchi'a shuti buburi, u ba tre, ageri kita?” igu yi ani ti gban bi babran.
48 If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing
Naki, iri ni mi mba kayatas kena wa ndi ahi kikle Firist ni se kima, a hla bawu, “Bi na to kpe na.
50 nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.
Bi na mla ya a bi zan ni ndu indji riri kwu ni tu indji, ni wa indji wawu ba sutuna.”
51 But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;
A hla ki, ana nitu ma kankrji ma na, ani tu iwa a hi kikle Firist, a to tsu ndi Yesu ni yi ni kwu ni tu ndji;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he should also gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
ana nitu indji kankrji na, anitu ndu ba shi imri Irji ti ni buburi biwa ba lu vra kagon.
53 From that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him.
Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned with the disciples.
Rji ni ki Yesu na la ni zren ni rira ni mi Yahudawa na. Wa ala kma hi ni kalan ri whiwhre ni miji ni gburi wa ba yo Ifraimu. Ni mu a son ni almajere ma.
55 But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
Igan u ru gran (indji ketarewa) u Yahudawa a tewhre, gbugbu ba hi Urushalima rji ni klan meme'a hi ri ndu ivi idiri ni ndu ba kati tsatsra.
56 They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast?
U lu ri wa Yesu, na ni tre ni kpa mba niwa ba kri ni ni hekeli andi, “Angye bi ki rhimre? Ana ye ni idin na?
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might take him.
Kikle Firist ni Farisawa ba yo du andi ko ni zen wa ba to Yesu ba ka ye hla ni ndu ba vu.
