John 11
1 Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town 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 (And Mary was she that 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 His 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 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.
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 Mary, and Lazarus.
Yesu ni son Marta, ni vayi ma vren wa ni Lazaru.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
7 Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
8 The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now 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 of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth 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 he walk in the night, he stumbleth, 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 he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; 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 His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
13 But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
15 And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you 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, who is 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 came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
19 And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
20 Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
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 now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
Zizan me mi to ikpe wa u bre Rji ani no'u.”
23 Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
24 Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at 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 believeth in me, although he be dead, 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;
26 And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
ni indji wa ahe ni re (iviri), na kpanyeme ni me, ana kwu na; u kpanyeme ni wa?” (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.
U wa hla niwu, “E, Bachi, mi kpanyeme andi iwuyi u Almasihu, Vren Rji, iwa ani ye ni gbungbulu'a.
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.
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, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
30 For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met 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 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.
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 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.
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 that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
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 you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
35 And 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 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?
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 groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over 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 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.
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 saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt 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 lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
U ba ban tita rju, Yesu zun shishi na tre, “Iti, mi ngyiri niwu niwa u wo me.”
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.
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 When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
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.
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 were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in 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 the things that 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 doth many miracles?
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 alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.
Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
49 But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You 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 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.
Bi na mla ya a bi zan ni ndu indji riri kwu ni tu indji, ni wa indji wawu ba sutuna.”
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.
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 only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.
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 devised to put him to death.
Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
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.
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 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to 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 for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day?
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 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.
Kikle Firist ni Farisawa ba yo du andi ko ni zen wa ba to Yesu ba ka ye hla ni ndu ba vu.
