John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Upaska dutu nin nayiri kutocin, Yesu da Ubaitanya, kikanga na Laazaru wa duku, ulenge na awa fyaghe nkul.
2 There a dinner was arranged in his honor. Martha helped serve the food while Lazarus sat at the table with Jesus and the others guests.
I kanjaghe imori kikane, Martari wadi nkosue, Laazaru wadi nanya nale na iwa sosin kutebul nin Yesu.
3 Mary brought a pint of pure nard perfume and anointed Jesus' feet, wiping them dry with her hair. The scent of the perfume filled the whole house.
Maryamu yauna libon nuf nin kunya kumang na idin yicu minin nard, a titilo nabunun Yesu, a wesse abune nin titi me; kunya nnufe mala kiti vat nanya kilare.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
Umong nanyan nono katwa me, ule na idin yicu Yahuda Iskaroti, ulenge na amere ma lewu Yesu ku, woro.
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
Inyaghari nwantina ulewu nnuf mone nanya nidinari akalt atat ikossu anan diru?”
6 He wasn't saying this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was the one who looked after the disciples' money and he often took some for himself.
Awa belli nani na bara adin lanzu nkunekune nanan diruere ba, ama bara na ame ukiriari: amere wadi unan mizunu nka nikurfunghe anan se ayira litime imong nanya
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
Yesu woro, “Sunnaghe ali ubun nimon ile na adi mun bara lirin nkasunigha adinsue.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Idi ligowe nin na nan dirre ko kome kub, na ima yitu ligowe nan mi ko kome kubi ba.”
9 A large crowd had found out that he was there. They came there not just to see Jesus but because they wanted to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead.
A Yahudawa gbardang lanza Yesu di kikane, ida, na bara Yesu cas ba, ama inan se iyene Laazaru ku, ulenge na Yesu wa fyaghe nanya nkul.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Ama adidya na nan dursuzu kite munu tinuu imolu Laazaru ku;
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
bara amere a Yahudawa gbardang wa sun nani iyinna nin Yesu.
12 The following day the crowds of people who had come for the Passover festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Ukurtunun nkuiye anit gbardang da kitin buke. Na ilanza Yesu din cinu udak Urshalima.
13 They cut off palm branches and went to welcome him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one coming in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the king of Israel.”
Ibalsa incem inuzu udundi zuru ninghe, itiza ntet, iworo, “Hossana! Unan mariari ulenge na ada nanya lissa NCikilari, Ugo in Israila.”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
Yesu se kajaki kabene a ghanaku nafo na iwa yertin.
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
“Na uwa lanza fiu ba, fe ushonon Sihiyona; yenen Ugo mine din cinu, assosin kitene kajaki kabene.”
16 At the time, Jesus' disciples did not understand what these things meant. It was only later when he was glorified that they realized what had happened had been prophesied and applied to him.
Na nono katwa me wa yinin ileli imone nin cizune ba; ama na iwa ti Yesu ku gongong, ilizino nworu ina nyertin ileli imone litime inung ani nsughe inin.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Nene ligozin nanite na iwa di nin Yesu kube na awa yicila Laazaru ku a fyaghe nanya kissek, inung wa belu among.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Bara nanere wati ligozin loli wa nuzu lidi zuro ninghe bara na iwa lanza asu ileli imone.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
A farisawa woro nati mine, “Yenen, iwasa ita imonmong ba; uyii vat din dortughe.”
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Among a Helenawa wa di nanya na lenge na iwa do nsujada kitin nbuke.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Inughe do kitin Filibus, ulenge na awa nuzu Nbaitanya Ngalili, itiringhe, iworo, “Cikilari tidi ninsu tiyene Yesu ku.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
Yesu do adi bellin Andirawus ku, Andirawus nin Filibus do idi belin Yesu ku.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
Yesu kawa nani, aworo, “Kube nda nworu iti Usaun Nnit gongong.
24 I tell you the truth: unless a grain of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains just one grain. But if it dies, it produces many more grains of wheat.
Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, se fimus ficikapa ndeo kutyin fiku, andi na nani ba, fiba lawu finin firume; ama andi fiku, fima nin maru imong iyip gbardang.
25 If you love your own life you will lose it, but if you don't love your own life in this world you will keep your life forever. (aiōnios g166)
Ame ulenge na adi nin su nlai me ama diru unin; ame ulenge na anari ulai me nanya nle uye ma ciu unin ucin du ulai nsa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
26 If you want to serve me you need to follow me. My servants will be where I am, and my Father will honor anyone who serves for me.
Andi umong din sui katwa, na a dortui; kiti kanga na nduku, kikanere kucin ning ma yitu ku wang, andi umong din sui katwa, Uci ning ma ni unit une tikunang.
27 Now I am troubled. What should I say? ‘Father, save me from this coming time of suffering?’ No, for this is why I came—to go through this time of suffering.
Ayi ning nana nene; Iyaghari mma bellu? 'Ucif sui utucu nanya kubi kone?' Bara ile imonere nda ko kube.
28 Father, show the glory of your character.” A voice came from heaven, saying, “I have shown its glory, and I will show it again.”
Ucif, ta lissafe gonggong,” Liwui nuzu kitene kani liworo, “Nna ti lining gongong, nma kur nti lining gongon tutung.”
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Ligozin nanite na iwa yissin kitene wa lanza i woro Kutelle tuto. Among woro, “Gono kadura Kutelleari nlirina ninghe.”
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
Yesu kawa a woro, “Na liwui lole nda bara Menghari ba, ama bara anughere.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Nenere idin shara in yii ulele; Nene ima ko unan tigo nyii ulele.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
A Meng, asa ifyi nanya kutyin, nma wunnu anit vat udak kitining.”
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Awa bellin nani adurso imus nkul ule na uma seghe.
34 The crowd responded, “The Law tells us that the Messiah will live forever, so how can you say the Son of man must be ‘lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of man’?” (aiōn g165)
Ligozin kawaghe, iworo, “Tina lanza nanya nduka Kristi maso sa ligang. Iyiziari uworo, 'Ima fyu Usaun Nnit kitene gbas? Ghari Usaun Nnit une?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus replied, “The light is here with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that the darkness doesn't overtake you. Those who walk in the dark don't know where they're going.
Yesu woro nani, “Nkanang du kiti mine nin kubi bat. Sun ucin a nkanang dutu kiti mine, ana nsirti nsa da duru minu ba. Ulenge na adin cinu nanya nsirti na ayiru kiti kanga na adin cinu udue ba.
36 Put your trust in the light while you still have it so that you can become children of light.” When Jesus had told them this, he left and hid himself from them.
Yinnan a idutu nin kananghe, inan so nonon kanang.”
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Vat nin nimon izikiki gbardang na Yesu wa su nbun mine, vat nin nani na iyinna ninghe ba.
38 This fulfilled the message of Isaiah the prophet who said, “Lord, who has believed what we told them? To whom has the Lord's power been revealed?”
Bara ulirun Ishaya unan liru nin nuu Kutelle nan kulo, ule na awa woro: “Cikilari, ghari nyinna nin liru bite? Ucara Ncikilari ndurso liti kiti ghari?
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Bara ilenge imone na iwa yinnin ba, Ishaya wa kuru a belle.
40 “He blinded their eyes, and made their minds dull, so that their eyes would not see, and their minds would not think, and they would not turn to me—for if they did I would heal them.”
“Ana ti idu niyizi mine, amini na kuru ata nibinai mine getek; andi na nani ba, ima yenju nin niyizi mine, ikuru iyinnin nin nibinayi mine, inin kpilin, Meng nin shin ninghinu.”
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
Ishaya wa belin ileli imone bara na awa yene ngongong Yesu asu uliru litime.
42 Even so many of the leaders did trust in him. However, they did not openly admit it because they did not want the Pharisees to expel them from the synagogue,
Vat nin nani, among gbardang wang nanya na didyawe wa yinin nin Yesu; ana bara a Farisawa na iwa yinin ba bara iwa kala nani nanya kutii nlira.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Iwa di nin su nzazinu nanit ukatina nani uzazinu Kutelle.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
Yesu ghatina liwui kang aworo, “Ulenge na ayinna nin mi, na Menghari a yinna mun cas ba ama umunu ulenge na ana tuyi na wang,
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
ulenge na ayenei, ayene ulenge na ana tuyi.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Meng na dak nafo nkanang nanya nyii ulele bara vat nnit ule na ayinna nin mi ama lawu nanya nsirti ba.
47 I don't judge anyone who hears my words but doesn't do what I say. I came to save the world, not to judge it.
Asa umong lanza uliru nighe na asu katwa mun ba, na nma sughe ushara ba; bara na nna dak nsun yii ushara ba, nna dak ntucu uyere.
48 Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my words will be judged at the end-time judgment in accordance with what I have said.
Ulenge na anari menku, amini nari userun nliru nighe di nin lenge na adin sughe ushara; ulirere na ndin bellu ma sughe ushara liri nimalin.
49 For I'm not speaking for myself but for my Father who sent me. He is the one who instructed me what to say and how to say it.
Na ndin liru litining ba. Nna din su un Cifning nin na ana tuyi, ulenge na ana nii likara nliru ule na nma bellu nin liru ule na nma su.
