< John 11 >

1 Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܚܘܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܕܡܪܬܐ
2 (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܝ ܕܡܫܚܬ ܒܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܐܚܘܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ
3 His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
ܘܫܕܪܝܢ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܬܗ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܟܪܝܗ
4 And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
ܡܚܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܪܬܐ ܘܠܡܪܝܡ ܘܠܠܥܙܪ
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܟܬܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܝܘܡܝܢ
7 Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܬܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܬܘܒ ܠܝܗܘܕ
8 The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܪܒܢ ܗܫܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܪܓܡܟ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܬܡܢ
9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܫܥܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ
10 But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܗܝܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ
11 These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܙܪ ܪܚܡܢ ܫܟܒ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܝܪܝܘܗܝ
12 His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܢ ܐܢ ܕܡܟ ܡܬܚܠܡ
13 But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܡܘܬܗ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܒܪܘ ܕܥܠ ܡܕܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܐܡܪ
14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܝܬ ܠܗ
15 And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.
ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܠܬܡܢ
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
ܐܡܪ ܬܐܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܐܡܪ ܬܐܡܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܒܪܘܗܝ ܢܐܙܠ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܥܡܗ
17 Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ
18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܕ ܦܪܝܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܚܡܫܬܥܤܪ
19 And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܕܢܡܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܐܚܘܗܝܢ
20 Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܝܬܒܐ ܗܘܬ
21 Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ
22 But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟ
23 Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܐܡ ܐܚܘܟܝ
24 Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܕܥܐܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܒܢܘܚܡܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܚܡܐ ܘܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܦܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܢܚܐ
26 And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
ܘܟܠ ܕܚܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܝ ܗܕܐ (aiōn g165)
27 She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
28 And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠܬ ܩܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܚܬܗ ܟܤܝܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܟܝ
29 She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
ܘܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܩܡܬ ܥܓܠ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܗ
30 For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܬܗ ܡܪܬܐ
31 The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.
ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܒܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܚܙܘ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܕܥܓܠ ܩܡܬ ܢܦܩܬ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܤܒܪܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܩܒܪܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܠܡܒܟܐ
32 When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܐܬܬ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܬܗ ܢܦܠܬ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܗ ܕܒܟܝܐ ܘܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܬܥܙܙ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܙܝܥ ܢܦܫܗ
34 And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܐ ܤܡܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܬܐ ܚܙܝ
35 And Jesus wept.
ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ
36 The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
37 But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?
ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܬܥܙܙ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ
39 Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܩܘܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ ܕܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܤܪܝ ܠܗ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܝܢ
40 Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܝ ܕܐܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܬܚܙܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
ܘܫܩܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܥܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܡܥܬܢܝ
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܫܕܪܬܢܝ
43 When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܬܐ ܠܒܪ
44 And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
ܘܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܦܤܩܝܬܐ ܘܐܦܘܗܝ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܒܤܘܕܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܪܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܘܩܘ ܐܙܠ
45 Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.
ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ
47 The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?
ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ
48 If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.
ܘܐܢ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܫܩܠܝܢ ܐܬܪܢ ܘܥܡܢ
49 But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܗ ܩܝܦܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ
50 Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܢܐܒܕ
51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ
52 And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.
ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܒܕܪܝܢ ܢܟܢܫ ܠܚܕܐ
53 From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.
ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
54 Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܬܡܢ ܡܬܗܦܟ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
55 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves.
ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܨܚܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܕܡ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܢܕܟܘܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ
56 They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day?
ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ
57 And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܦܩܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܐܝܟܘ ܢܒܕܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ
