John 12
1 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
Malatsi a le marataro pele ga meletlo ya Tlolaganyo e simologa, Jesu a goroga mo Bethania kwa Lasaro monna yo a mo rudisitseng a neng a le teng.
2 There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
Mme Jesu a baakanyediwa modiro wa tlotlo teng. Maratha a ba tsholela mme Lasaro ene a nna le bone kwa lomating lwa bojelo (tafole).
3 Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Mme Marea a tsaya setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo se dirilwe ka dinkgisamonate a tlotsa dinao tsa ga Jesu ka sone, a bo a di phimola ka moriri wa gagwe. Mme ntlo ya tlala monkgo o o monate wa setlolo.
4 One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
Mme Judase Isekariota, mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, ene yo o tlaa mo okang, a re,
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
“Setlolo seo se ne se lekanye madi a mantsi. Se ka bo se rekisitswe mme madi a sone a abelwa bahumanegi.”
6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
E ne e se gore ka go bua jalo o gopotse go tlhokomela bahumanegi, gonne o ne a le mmei wa madi a barutwa mme o ne a tle a a utswe a a dirise mo ditirong tsa gagwe!
7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Mo tlogele. O dirile jalo e le paakanyetso ya phitlho ya me.
8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
Lo ka aga lo thusa bahumanegi, mme nna ga ke na go nna le lona ka lobaka lo loleele.”
9 A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
Erile fa ba e leng batho fela ba Jerusalema ba utlwalela ka kgorogo ya gagwe ba itlhaganela ka bontsintsi go ya go mmona le go bona Lasaro, monna yo o rudileng.
10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
Mme ditlhogo tsa baperesiti tsa ikaelela go bolaya le Lasaro,
11 because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
gonne e ne e le ka ntlha ya ga Lasaro gore baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba tlogele Sejuta ba dumele mo go Jesu e le Mesia wa bone.
12 On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
Letsatsi le le latelang, dikgang tse di reng Jesu o mo tseleng ya Jerusalema tsa anama mo motseng, mme bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa baeti ba Tlolaganyo,
13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
jwa tsaya dikala tsa makolane mme jwa fologela mo tseleng go mo kgatlhantsha ba goa ba re, “Mmoloki! Modimo segofatsa Kgosi ya Iseraele! A go bakwe moemedi wa Modimo!”
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
Jesu a tsamaya a palame tonkana, a diragatsa seporofeso se se reng
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
“Se boifeng Kgosi ya lona, batho ba Iseraele, gonne e tlaa tla kwa go lona ka boingotlo, e palame tonkana!”
16 [Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
(Barutwa ba gagwe ba seka ba lemoga ka nako eo gore se e ne e le tiragatso ya seporofeso; mme morago ga Jesu a boela kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong, ba simolola go lemoga gore go setse go diragetse diporofeso di le kae tsa lokwalo mo matlhong a bone).
17 The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
Mme ba ba mo bontsintsing joo ba ba neng ba bonye Jesu a tsosa Lasaro mo baswing ba ne ba bolela gotlhe ka gone.
18 Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
Ke sone se batho ba le bantsi ba neng ba ya go mo kgatlhantsha, gonne ba ne ba utlwile kgakgamatso e tona eo.
19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
Mme Bafarasai ba raana ba re, “Re fentswe. Bonang, lefatshe lotlhe le mo setse morago!”
20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
Bagerika bangwe ba ba neng ba tsile mo Jerusalema go obama mo Tlolaganyong,
21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
ba etela Filipo yo a neng a tswa Bethesaida, mme ba feta ba re, “Rara, re batla go rakana le Jesu.”
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
Filipo a bolelela Anderea ka gone, mme ba tsamaya botlhe go kopa Jesu.
23 But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
Jesu a ba fetola ka gore nako e mo gorogetse ya go boela kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong, le gore, “Ke tshwanetse go wa ka swa jaaka tlhaka ya mabele e e welang mo mmung wa boleme. Fa ke sa swe, ke tlaa nna ke le nosi, peo e e yosi. Mme loso lwa me lo tlaa tlhogisa ditlhaka tsa mabele di le dintsi, thobo e kgolo ya matshelo a masha.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Fa lo rata botshelo jwa lona mono lefatsheng, bo tlaa lo latlhegela. Mme fa lo nyatsa botshelo jwa lona mono lefatsheng, o tlaa bo ananya ka kgalalelo ya bosakhutleng. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
“Fa e le gore Bagerika ba, ba batla go nna barutwa ba me, ba boleleleng gore ba tle ba ntshale morago, gonne batlhanka ba me ba tshwanetse go nna kwa ke teng. Mme fa ba ntshala morago, Rara o tlaa ba tlotla
27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
Jaanong mowa wa me o tshwenyegile thata. A nka rapela ka re, ‘Rara, mpoloka mo go se se nkemeng pele?’ Mme ke lone lebaka le ke le tletseng!
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
Rara, galaletsa leina la gago o bo o le tlotle.” Mme ga bua lentswe le tswa kwa legodimong le re, “Ke setse ke dirile jalo, mme ke tlaa dira jalo gape.”
29 The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
Erile fa bontsintsi jwa batho bo utlwa lentswe, bangwe ba bone ba gopola gore ke tladi, fa ba bangwe bone ba re ke moengele o buile nae.
30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Lentswe leo ga le a tla ka ntlha ya me, mme e leng ka ntlha ya lona.
31 Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
Lobaka lwa katlholo ya lefatshe lo gorogile, le nako ya fa Satane, Kgosana ya lefatshe leno a tlaa kgoromelediwang ntle.
32 and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
Mme fa ke tsholediwa (mo mokgorong) ke tlaa gogela mongwe le mongwe kwa go nna?”
33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
O ne a bua jaana go supa ka fa o tlaa swang ka teng.
34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Bontsintsi jwa botsa jwa re, “Go swa? Re utlwile gore Mesia o tlaa tshela ka bosakhutleng mme ga a kitla a a swa. Ke eng fa o re o tlaa swa? O bua kaga. Mesia ofe?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Lesedi la me le tlaa lo phatsimela ka lobakanyana. Tsamayang mo go lone lo sa ntse lo ka kgona, mme lo ye kwa lo batlang go ya teng pele ga lefifi le tla, gonne ka nako eo lobaka lo tlaa bo lo setse lo fetile thata gore lo bone tsela ya lona.
36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
Dirisang Lesedi nako e sa le teng; ka go dira jalo lo tlaa nna batsamaisi ba lesedi.” Morago ga a bua dilo tse, Jesu a tsamaya mme a ba iphitlhetse.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
Mme le fa a ne a dirile dikgakgamatso tse tsotlhe, batho ba le bantsi ba ne ba sa dumele gore ke Mesia.
38 that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Ke sone tota se Isaia o se porofetileng a re: “Morena, re tlaa dumelwa ke mang? E mang yo o tlaa tsayang dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo tse di tona e le bosupi?”
39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
Mme ba ne ba seka ba dumela, fela jaaka Isaia le ene a ne a rile:
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
“Modimo o foufaditse matlho a bone o bile o thatafaditse dipelo tsa bone gore ba seka ba bona le fa e le go tlhaloganya e se re kgotsa ba sokologela kwa go nna gore ke ba fodise.”
41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
Isaia o ne a raya Jesu fa a porofeta jaana, gonne o ne a bonye ponatshego ya kgalalelo ya ga Mesia.
42 Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
Le fa go ntse jalo, le baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ne ba dumela mo go ene gore ke Mesia mme legale ba ne ba sa dumele fa ba na le batho ka ntlha ya go tshaba go kgaolwa ke Bafarasai mo tlung ya ga Jehofa;
43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
gonne ba ne ba rata kgalaletso ya batho bogolo go kgalaletso ya Modimo.
44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
Mme Jesu a goela kwa bontsintsing a re, “Fa lo ntumela lo dumela Modimo.
45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
Gonne fa lo mpona, lo bona ene yo o nthomileng.
46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
Ke tsile ke le Lesedi go phatsima mo lefatsheng leno le le lefifi gore botlhe ba ba dumelang mo go nna ba seka ba tlhola ba tsamaya mo lefifing.
47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
Mme le fa e le mang yo o nkutlwang mme a sa nkobamele, ga ke moatlhodi wa gagwe, gonne ke tletse go boloka lefatshe eseng go le atlhola.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
Mme botlhe ba ba nkganang le molaetsa wa me, ba tlaa atlholwa ka Letsatsi la Katlholo ka mafoko a boammaaruri a ke a buileng.
49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
Gonne se ga se tlhaloganyo ya me, mme ke lo boleletse se Rara a rileng ke se lo bolelele.
