John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Faasika bonchchiya gallasappe usuppun gallas sinthattidi, Yesuusi hayqoppe denthida Alaazari de7iya gutaa, Bitaaniya bis.
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.
He bessan entti iyaw kaho giigisidosona. Alaazari Yesuusara issife gayta bolla uttidashin Martta enttana imatawusu.
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.
Mayraama narddoose giya daro al77o geeshsha shitto ehada Yesuusa tohuwa tiyasu. Ba binaanan iya tohuwa quchchasu; keetha ubbay shitto sawon tongu gis.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
Shin Yesuusa tamaaretappe issoy, Yesuusa aathi immanayssi, Yihuda Asqorooti,
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
“Ays ha shittoy heedzu xeetu dinaaren bayzettidi, miishey manqotas imettenne?” yaagis.
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.
I kayso gidida gisho hessa gisippe attin manqotas qadhettidi gibeenna. I miishe karxiita oykkeyssa gidiya gisho ubba wode iyappe baw ekkees.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
Yesuusi, “Iya baw de7iyabaa ta moogo gallasaas minjjida gisho iyo aggaagite.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Manqoti ubba wode hinttera daana, shin taani ubba wode hinttera de7ikke” yaagis.
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.
He wode daro asay Yesuusi Bitaaniyan de7eyssa si7idi yaa bidosona. Entti Yesuusa xalaala gidonnashin, I hayqoppe denthida Alaazarakka be7anaw bidosona.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Hessa gisho, kahine halaqati Alaazarakka qassi wodhanaw maqettidosona.
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
Ays giikko, Alaazara gaason daro Ayhudeti enttana ixxidi Yesuusa ammanoosona.
12 The following day the crowds of people who had come for the Passover festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Wonttetha gallas Faasika bonchchiya bessaa yida daro asay Yesuusi Yerusalaame beyssa si7idi,
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.”
Zambba haythi ekkidi iya mokkanaw keyidosona. Bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Hosaana! Xoossay galatetto! Godaa sunthan yeyssi anjjetto! Xoossay Isra7eele Kawuwa anjjo!” yaagidosona.
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Xiyoone katamaw, babbofa! Hekko, ne Kawoy hare mara bolla uttidi yees” geetettidayssada Yesuusi hare mari demmidi iya toggis.
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
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.
Yesuusa tamaareti hessa kase akeekibookkona. Shin Yesuusi bonchchettidaappe guye entti hessa ubbaa akeekidosona. Hessi ubbay Geeshsha Maxaafay gidayssada hanis.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Yesuusi Alaazara duufoppe xeegidi, hayqoppe denthida wode iyara de7iya daro asay Yesuusabaa markkattidosona.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Daro asay iya mokkanaw keyiday, I he malaatata oothidaysssa si7ida gishossa.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
Hessa gisho, Farisaaweti issoy issuwako, “Nu aykkoka oothanaw dandda7onnayssa be7ite; dere ubbay iya kaallees” yaagidosona.
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Faasika bonchchiya gallas goynnanaw Yerusalaame bidayssata giddon issi issi Girike asati de7oosona.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Entti Galiilan biittan Beetesayda katamaappe yida Filiphphoosakko bidi, “Godaw, nuuni Yesuusa be7anaw koyoos” yaagidi woossidosona.
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
Filiphphoosi bidi Inddiriyasas odin nam77ay bidi, Yesuusas odidosona.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
Yesuusi enttako, “Asa Na7ay, bonchchettiya wodey gakkis.
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.
Taani hinttew tuma odays; issi gistte ayfey biittan wodhdhidi wooqonna ixxiko barkka attees. Shin he gistte ayfey wooqiko daro ayfe ayfees.
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)
Ba shemppuwa dosiya oonikka dhayssees; ba shemppuwa ha alamiyan ixxiya oonikka merinaa de7os ashshees. (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.
Taani de7iyasuwan taara daana mela taw oothanaw koyaa oonikka tana kaallanaw bessees. Taw oothiya oonakka ta Aaway bonchchana.
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.
“Ha77i ta shemppoy daro un77ettis; yaatin woygo? ‘Ta Aawaw, tana ha saateppe ashsharkkii’ yaago? Akkay, taani yiday waaye ekkanaassa.
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.”
Ta Aawaw, ne sunthaa bonchcha” yaagis. He wode saloppe, “Taani ta sunthaa bonchchas; zaaradakka bonchchana” yaagiya qaalay yis.
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
He bessan eqqida daro asay he qaala si7idi, “Hessi dada” yaagidosona. Harati qassi, “Kiitanchchoy iyaw odis” yaagidosona.
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
Yesuusi zaaridi enttako, “Ha qaalay hintte gisho yisippe attin ta gisho gidenna.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Ha alamey pirddettiya wodey ha77i; ha alamiya haareyssi ha77i kare holettana.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
Qassi taani sa7appe dhoqqu oosettida wode asa ubbaa taakko ehana” yaagis.
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
I hessa giday ay mela hayqo hayqqaneekko enttaw qonccisanassa.
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)
Daro asay zaaridi, “Nu higgey Kiristtoosi merinaw de7eyssa odees. Yaatin, neeni woygada, ‘Asa Na7ay dhoqqu gaanaw bessees’ gay? ‘I, Asa Na7ay oonee?’” yaagidosona. (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.
Yesuusi, “Poo7oy hinttera guutha wode gam77ana. Hinttew dhumonna mela poo7oy de7ishin, poo7uwan hamuttite. Dhuman hamuttiya asi aw biyakko erenna.
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.
Poo7o nayta gidana mela poo7oy de7ishin poo7uwa ammanite” yaagis. Yesuusi hessa odettidaappe guye bidi enttafe geemmis.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
I hessa mela malaatata entta sinthan oothinkka ammanibookkona.
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?”
Nabiya Isayaasi, “Godaw, nu markkatethaa ooni ammanidee? Goday ba wolqqaa oodes qonccisidee?” Gidayssi tuma gidana mela entti iya ammanibookkona.
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Qassika Isayaasi, “Entta ayfey xeellonna mela, entta wozanay akeekonna mela, entti Xoossaakko simmin, I entta pathonna mela, Xoossay entta ayfiyaa qooqisis. Entta wozanaa minthis” gida gisho entti ammananaw dandda7ibookkona.
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.”
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
Isayaasi hessa giday, Yesuusa bonchchuwa be7ida gishonne iyabaa odida gishossa.
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,
Gidikkoka, Ayhudeta halaqatappekka daroti Yesuusa ammanidosona. Shin Farisaaweti banttana Ayhudeta Woosa Keethafe kessoosona gidi yayyida gisho ammanida gidi qonccen markkattibookkona.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Hessa entti oothiday, Xoossaa erettanayssafe aathidi asan erettanayssa dosida gishossa.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
Yesuusi ba qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi, “Tana ammaniyaa oonikka tana kiittidayssaka ammaneesppe attin ta xalaala ammanenna.
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
Tana be7iya oonikka tana kiittidayssaka be7ees.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Tana ammaniyaa ubbay dhuman doonna mela taani poo7o gidada alamiya yas.
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.
Ta qaalaa si7idi kiitettonna oonakka taani pirddike. Ays giikko, taani alamiya ashshanaw yasippe attin pirddanaw yabiikke.
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.
Tana ixxeyssanne ta qaalaa ekkonna oonakka pirddeyssi de7ees. Taani odida qaalay wurssetha gallas he uraa pirddana.
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.
Ays giikko, taani hessa taappe odikke, shin tana kiittida ta Aaway taani gaanayssanne odanayssa kiittis.
