John 11
1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters Mary and Martha.
| ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܚܘܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܕܡܪܬܐ |
2 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.
| ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܝ ܕܡܫܚܬ ܒܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܐܚܘܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ |
3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus: “Lord, your close friend is sick.”
| ܘܫܕܪܝܢ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܬܗ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܟܪܝܗ |
4 When Jesus heard the news he said, “The end result of this sickness will not be death. Through this God's glory will be revealed so that the Son of God may be glorified.”
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ |
5 Even though Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
| ܡܚܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܪܬܐ ܘܠܡܪܝܡ ܘܠܠܥܙܪ |
6 and had heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained where he was for two more days.
| ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܟܬܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܝܘܡܝܢ |
7 Then he told the disciples, “Let's return to Judea.”
| ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܬܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܬܘܒ ܠܝܗܘܕ |
8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, just a few days ago the Jews were trying to stone you. Do you really want to go back there now?”
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܪܒܢ ܗܫܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܪܓܡܟ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܬܡܢ |
9 “Aren't there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus replied.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܫܥܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ |
10 “If you walk during the day you don't stumble because you can see where you're going by the light of this world. But if you walk during the night you stumble because you have no light.”
| ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܗܝܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ |
11 After telling them this, he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm going to go there and wake him up!”
| ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܙܪ ܪܚܡܢ ܫܟܒ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܝܪܝܘܗܝ |
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he's sleeping then he'll get better.”
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܢ ܐܢ ܕܡܟ ܡܬܚܠܡ |
13 Jesus had been referring to the death of Lazarus, but the disciples thought he meant actual sleep.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܡܘܬܗ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܒܪܘ ܕܥܠ ܡܕܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܐܡܪ |
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܝܬ ܠܗ |
15 For your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, because now you will be able to trust in me. Let's go and see him.”
| ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܠܬܡܢ |
16 Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, “Let's go too so we can die with him.”
| ܐܡܪ ܬܐܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܐܡܪ ܬܐܡܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܒܪܘܗܝ ܢܐܙܠ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܥܡܗ |
17 When he arrived, Jesus learned that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
| ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ |
18 Bethany was just two miles from Jerusalem,
| ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܕ ܦܪܝܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܚܡܫܬܥܤܪ |
19 and many Jews had come to console Mary and Martha at the loss of their brother.
| ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܕܢܡܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܐܚܘܗܝܢ |
20 When Martha found out that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
| ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܝܬܒܐ ܗܘܬ |
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.
| ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ |
22 But I'm certain that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
| ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟ |
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܐܡ ܐܚܘܟܝ |
24 “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day,” Martha answered.
| ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܕܥܐܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܒܢܘܚܡܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ |
25 Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who trust in me will live, even though they die.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܚܡܐ ܘܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܦܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܢܚܐ |
| ܘܟܠ ܕܚܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܝ ܗܕܐ (aiōn g165) |
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one expected to come to this world.”
| ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ |
28 When she had said this, she went and told her sister Mary in private, “The Teacher's here, and asking to see you.”
| ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠܬ ܩܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܚܬܗ ܟܤܝܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܟܝ |
29 As soon as she heard, Mary quickly got up and went to see him.
| ܘܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܩܡܬ ܥܓܠ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܗ |
30 Jesus hadn't arrived in the village yet. He was still at the place where Martha had met him.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܬܗ ܡܪܬܐ |
31 The Jews who had been comforting Mary in the home saw how she'd got up quickly and left. So they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb 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 arrived at the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have 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 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying as well, he was very troubled and upset.
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܗ ܕܒܟܝܐ ܘܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܬܥܙܙ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܙܝܥ ܢܦܫܗ |
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܐ ܤܡܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܬܐ ܚܙܝ |
35 Then Jesus cried too.
| ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ |
36 “See how much he loved him,” the Jews said.
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ |
37 But some of them said, “If he could open the eyes of a blind man, couldn't he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
| ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ |
38 Very troubled, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone placed at the entrance.
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܬܥܙܙ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ |
39 “Remove the stone,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, said, “Lord, by now there will be a terrible smell, for he's been dead for four days.”
| ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܩܘܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ ܕܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܤܪܝ ܠܗ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܝܢ |
40 “Didn't I tell you that if you trusted me you would see God's glory?” Jesus replied.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܝ ܕܐܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܬܚܙܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked heavenwards, and said, “Father, thank you for listening to me.
| ܘܫܩܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܥܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܡܥܬܢܝ |
42 I know you always listen to me. I said this because of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me.”
| ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܫܕܪܬܢܝ |
43 After saying this, Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
| ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܬܐ ܠܒܪ |
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of linen, and with a cloth around his face. “Unbind him and set him free,” Jesus told them.
| ܘܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܦܤܩܝܬܐ ܘܐܦܘܗܝ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܒܤܘܕܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܪܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܘܩܘ ܐܙܠ |
45 Consequently many of the Jews who had come to comfort Mary and who saw what Jesus did put their trust in him.
| ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ |
46 But others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
| ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ |
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the ruling council. “What shall we do?” they asked. “This man is doing many miracles.
| ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ |
48 If we allow him to continue, everybody will believe in him, and then the Romans will destroy both the Temple and our status as a nation.”
| ܘܐܢ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܫܩܠܝܢ ܐܬܪܢ ܘܥܡܢ |
49 “You don't understand anything!” said Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
| ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܗ ܩܝܦܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ |
50 “Can't you see that it's better for you that one man die for the people so that the whole nation won't be destroyed?”
| ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܢܐܒܕ |
51 He didn't say this on his own behalf, but as chief priest that year he was prophesying that Jesus would 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 this was not just for the Jewish nation, but for all the scattered children of God so that they might be gathered together and be made into one.
| ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܒܕܪܝܢ ܢܟܢܫ ܠܚܕܐ |
53 From that time on they plotted how they might kill Jesus.
| ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ |
54 So Jesus did not travel openly among the Jews but went to a town called Ephraim in the region near the desert and stayed there 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 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover, and many people went from the countryside to Jerusalem to purify themselves for the Passover.
| ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܨܚܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܕܡ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܢܕܟܘܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ |
56 People were looking for Jesus and talking about him as they stood in the Temple. “What do you think?” they asked each other. “Isn't he coming to the festival?”
| ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ |
57 The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it so they could arrest him.
| ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܦܩܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܐܝܟܘ ܢܒܕܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ |
