John 11
1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters Mary and Martha.
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray narary, dia Lazarosy avy any Betania, tanànan’ i Maria sy Marta rahavaviny.
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.
Maria dia ilay nanosotra ny Tompo tamin’ ny menaka manitra sy namaoka ny tongony tamin’ ny volon-dohany, ary Lazarosy anadahiny no narary.
3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus: “Lord, your close friend is sick.”
Ary izy mirahavavy dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jesosy hanao hoe: Tompoko, marary ilay tianao.
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.”
Ary rehefa ren’ i Jesosy izany, dia hoy Izy: Tsy ho fahafatesana no anton’ izany aretina izany, fa ny hampisehoana ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra, mba hankalazana ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
5 Even though Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
Ary Jesosy tia an’ i Marta sy ny rahavaviny ary Lazarosy.
6 and had heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained where he was for two more days.
Koa nony ren’ i Jesosy fa narary Lazarosy, dia mbola nitoetra indroa andro teo amin’ izay nitoerany ihany Izy.
7 Then he told the disciples, “Let's return to Judea.”
Rehefa afaka izany, dia hoy Izy tamin’ ny mpianatra: Andeha isika ho any Jodia indray.
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?”
Hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Raby ô, vao haingana teo no nitadiavan’ ny Jiosy hitora-bato Anao, ka hankany indray va Hianao?
9 “Aren't there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus replied.
Jesosy namaly hoe: Tsy roa ambin’ ny folo va ny ora amin’ ny indray andro? Raha misy mandeha amin’ ny antoandro, dia tsy mba tafintohina izy, fa mahita ny fahazavan’ izao tontolo izao.
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.”
Fa raha misy kosa mandeha amin’ ny alina, dia ho tafintohina izay, ka tsy misy mazava ao aminy.
11 After telling them this, he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm going to go there and wake him up!”
Izany no nolazainy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Matory Lazarosy sakaizantsika; fa handeha hamoha azy Aho.
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he's sleeping then he'll get better.”
Dia hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Tompoko, raha matory izy, dia ho tsara ihany.
13 Jesus had been referring to the death of Lazarus, but the disciples thought he meant actual sleep.
Nefa Jesosy nilaza ny fahafatesany; fa nataon’ izy ireo kosa fa fialan-tsasatra amin’ ny torimaso no nolazainy.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Ary tamin’ izany Jesosy dia nilaza tsotra taminy hoe: Maty Lazarosy;
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.”
ary faly Aho noho ny aminareo, satria tsy teo Aho, mba hinoanareo; fa andeha isika hankany aminy.
16 Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, “Let's go too so we can die with him.”
Dia hoy Tomasy (izay atao hoe Didymo) tamin’ ny mpianatra namany: Andeha isika mba hiara-maty aminy.
17 When he arrived, Jesus learned that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
Ary nony tonga Jesosy, dia hitany fa efa nilevina hefarana izy.
18 Bethany was just two miles from Jerusalem,
Ary Betania dia tao akaikin’ i Jerosalema, tokony ho dimy ambin’ ny folo stadio no elanelany.
19 and many Jews had come to console Mary and Martha at the loss of their brother.
Ary maro tamin’ ny Jiosy no efa tonga teo amin’ i Marta sy Maria hitsapa alahelo azy noho ny amin’ ny anadahiny.
20 When Martha found out that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
Ary Marta, raha nandre fa tamy Jesosy, dia nandeha nitsena Azy; fa Maria kosa nitoetra tao an-trano.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.
Ary hoy Marta tamin’ i Jesosy: Tompoko, raha teto Hianao, dia tsy maty ny anadahiko.
22 But I'm certain that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Nefa fantatro fa na dia ankehitriny izao aza na inona na inona no hangatahinao amin’ Andriamanitra dia homen’ Andriamanitra Anao.
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Hitsangana ny anadahinao.
24 “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day,” Martha answered.
Fa hoy Marta taminy: Fantatro ihany fa hitsangana izy amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty amin’ ny andro farany;
25 Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who trust in me will live, even though they die.
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho no fananganana ny maty sy fiainana; izay mino Ahy, na dia maty aza, dia ho velona indray.
Ary izay rehetra velona ka mino Ahy dia tsy ho faty mandrakizay. Mino izany va ianao? (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.”
Hoy izy taminy: Eny, Tompoko; mino aho fa Hianao no Kristy, Zanak’ Andriamanitra, Ilay ho tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao.
28 When she had said this, she went and told her sister Mary in private, “The Teacher's here, and asking to see you.”
Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy, dia lasa nandeha ka niantso mangingina an’ i Maria rahavaviny, nanao hoe: Tonga ny Mpampianatra ka miantso anao.
29 As soon as she heard, Mary quickly got up and went to see him.
Ary raha vao nandre izany Maria, dia nitsangana faingana izy ka nankeo aminy.
30 Jesus hadn't arrived in the village yet. He was still at the place where Martha had met him.
Fa Jesosy tsy mbola tonga tao an-tanàna, fa mbola teo amin’ ilay nitsenan’ i Marta Azy ihany.
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.
Ary ny Jiosy izay tao amin’ i Maria tao an-trano ka nitsapa alahelo azy, raha nahita azy nitsangana faingana ka nivoaka, dia nanaraka azy, satria nataony fa nankany amin’ ny fasana hitomany any izy.
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.”
Ary Maria, rehefa tonga teo amin’ nitoeran’ i Jesosy ka nahita Azy, dia niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, raha teto Hianao, dia tsy maty ny anadahiko.
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying as well, he was very troubled and upset.
Ary Jesosy nony nahita azy nitomany sy ny Jiosy izay niaraka taminy nitomany koa, dia vonto ny fanahiny, ka tora-kovitra Izy;
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
ary hoy Izy: Aiza moa no nandevenanareo azy? Dia hoy ireo taminy: Tompoko, andeha hizaha.
35 Then Jesus cried too.
Jesosy nitomany.
36 “See how much he loved him,” the Jews said.
Dia hoy ny Jiosy: Akory ity haben’ ny fitiavany azy!
37 But some of them said, “If he could open the eyes of a blind man, couldn't he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
Fa hoy ny sasany: Moa tsy hain’ ilehity, Izay nampahiratra ny mason’ ilay jamba va, ny manao izay tsy ho nahafaty an-dralehilahy ity?
38 Very troubled, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone placed at the entrance.
Dia vonto indray ny fanahin’ i Jesosy ka nankeo amin’ ny fasana Izy; ary zohy izany, sady nisy vato narindrina teo.
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.”
Hoy Jesosy: Esory ny vato. Hoy Marta, anabavin’ ny maty, taminy: Tompoko, maimbo izy izao, fa efa hefarana izay.
40 “Didn't I tell you that if you trusted me you would see God's glory?” Jesus replied.
Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy voalazako va fa raha hino ianao, dia ho hitanao ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra?
41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked heavenwards, and said, “Father, thank you for listening to me.
Dia nesoriny ny vato. Ary Jesosy dia nanandratra ny masony ka nanao hoe: Ray ô, misaotra Anao Aho, fa efa nihaino Ahy Hianao.
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.”
Raha Izaho, dia fantatro fa mihaino Ahy mandrakariva Hianao; fa noho ny vahoaka mitsangana manodidina no nilazako izany, mba hinoany fa Hianao no naniraka Ahy.
43 After saying this, Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Ary rehefa nanao izany teny izany Izy, dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe: Ry Lazarosy, mivoaha!
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.
Dia nivoaka ny maty nisy fehim-paty ny tànany sy ny tongony, sady voafehy mosara koa ny tavany. Hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny olona: Vahao izy, ka avelao handeha.
45 Consequently many of the Jews who had come to comfort Mary and who saw what Jesus did put their trust in him.
Ary maro tamin’ ny Jiosy, dia ireo nankeo amin’ i Maria ka nahita ny zavatra nataon’ i Jesosy ireo, no nino Azy.
46 But others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Fa ny sasany tamin’ ireo kosa dia lasa nankany amin’ ny Fariseo ka nilaza taminy izay nataony.
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.
Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo nanangona ny Synedriona ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataontsika? fa iny Lehilahy iny dia manao famantarana maro.
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.”
Raha avelantsika hanao toy izany ihany Izy, dia hino Azy avokoa ny olona rehetra; ary ho avy ny Romana ka handrava ny fonenantsika sy ny firenentsika.
49 “You don't understand anything!” said Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Ary ny anankiray taminy, dia Kaiafa, mpisoronabe tamin’ izany taona izany, nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo tsy mahalala na inona na inona,
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?”
na misaina akory fa tsara ho anareo, raha ny lehilahy iray no ho faty hamonjy ny firenena, mba tsy ho rava avokoa ity firenena ity.
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.
Ary tsy niteny izany ho azy izy, fa satria mpisoronabe tamin’ izany taona izany izy, dia naminany fa Jesosy ho faty hamonjy ny firenena;
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.
ary tsy hamonjy io firenena io ihany, fa mba hanangona ny zanak’ Andriamanitra izay efa niely ho antoko iray.
53 From that time on they plotted how they might kill Jesus.
Koa hatramin’ izany andro izany dia nihendry hahafaty Azy ireo.
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.
Ary Jesosy tsy nandeha niharihary teny amin’ ny Jiosy intsony; fa niala teo Izy nankany amin’ ny tany akaikin’ ny efitra, ho any an-tanàna atao hoe Efraima, ary nitoetra tany Izy mbamin’ ny mpianatra.
55 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover, and many people went from the countryside to Jerusalem to purify themselves for the Passover.
Ary efa akaiky ny Pasky ny Jiosy; ary maro avy tany an-tsaha no niakatra ho any Jerosalema talohan’ ny Paska mba hanadio ny tenany.
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?”
Dia nitady an’ i Jesosy ireo, raha nijanona teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly, ka niresaka hoe: Ahoana no hevitrareo? Tsy mba ho tonga amin’ ny andro firavoravoana va Izy?
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.
Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo efa nandidy fa raha misy olona mahalala izay itoerany, dia tsy maintsy milaza, mba hisamborany Azy.
