John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Mahiku mutandatu ze ikili ipasaka, uYesu ai wendile ku Bethania, kai ukoli uLazaro, nuanso nai umiukilye ku puma mu ashi.
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.
Ila akamuzipilililya indya nia mpindi kuko, nu Martha akamuaiilya, itungo nilanso uLazaro ai watulaa ung'wi ao nua awo nai ikie mu ndya palung'wi nu 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.
Hangi uMariamu akahola i ratili a manyukiilo nai azipigwe ku nadro nziza, ikete nsailo nkulu, akamupuguhila uYesu mu migulu, nu kumupyagula i migulu ku nsingi ni akwe; ito lihi likizula u unyunki nua manyunkiilo.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
uYuda Iskariote, ung'wi nua awo ia manyisigwa akwe, naiza yuyo nuika mugumaniilya uYesu, akaligitya.
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
Ku niki i manyunkiilo aya shanga aza aguigwe ku dinari magana ataatu nu kinkiiligwa i aula?”
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.
Nu ng'wenso ai uligitilye nanso shanga kuaisiilya aula, ila ku nsoko ai waatuilee mii; ung'wenso yuyo ai watuile uambiie i mbugulu a mpia hangi ai watuilee wiholaa ing'wi nai aiekilwe mung'wanso kunsoko akwe mukola.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
uYesu ai uligiyilye, muleke waike nukete ku nsoko a luhiku nula uikwi nu ane.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
i aula mukutula nienso mahiku ihi, kuiti shanga mukutula nu nene mahiku ihi.”
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.
Iti gwa i umbi ikulu ni la Ayahudi nai alijaa kulinga nia kina uYesu ukoli kuko, ni eso akapembya shanga kunsoko ang'wa Yesu duu. Ila amihenge nu Petro nai umiulilye kupuma mu ashi.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Ni enso i akulu a kuhani akazipya lukani iti amubulage u Lazaro;
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
ndogoelyo kunsoko ayo imakani akwe idu mu Ayahudi ai alongoe yao nu kumuhiila uYesu
12 The following day the crowds of people who had come for the Passover festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Nu luhiku nula kabiili lakwe i umbi ikulu ai lizile mu siku kuu. Nai akija kina uYesu upembilye ku Yerusalemu,
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.”
ai ahoile i ntambi nia makota a mitende nu kupuma kunzi kulongola kumusingiilya hangi akakua iyogo, “Hosiana Ukendepilwe nuanso nu pembilye ku lina nila Mukulu, Mutemi nua Israeli.”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
uYesu ai umuligilye u ng'waa ndogwe akanankila; anga uu nai ukiliseigwe.
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
Leka kitumba munanso nua Sayuni; goza, uMutemi nuako upembilye, unankie ng'waa ndogwe.”
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.
Amanyisigwa akwe shanga ai amalingile imakani aya apo u ng'wandyo; kuiti uYesu nai wakakuligwa, papo nai akimbukiiye nia kina imakani aya ai ukiliseigwe nuanso nia kina itumile imakani aya kitalakwe.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Uugwa idale ilo nila antu nai akoli palung'wi nu Yesu itungo nai umitangile uLazaro kupuma mu kibiila, aka kuiila ku auya.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Hangi ai ituile ga ni kunsoko iyi kina idale nila antu ai alongoe kumusingiilya ku nsoko ai igulye kina witumile ikilingasiilyo nikanso.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
iAfarisayo akitambulya i enso ku enso, Goza, itungili shanga muhumile kituma kihi; goza, u unkumbigulu walongolaa kitalakwe.”
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Itungili ang'wi a Ayahudi ai atulaa mu kati ao mu awo nai atulaa alongoe kipolya mu siku kuu.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Awa ai amuhangile uFilipo, naiza upumiie ku Bethsaida a ku Galilaya, akamulompa aze ligitya, “Mukulu, usese kukete nsula kumihenga uYesu.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
uFilipo akalongola akamutambuila uAndrea; uAndrea nu Filipo akalongola nu kumutambuila uYesu.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
uYesu aka asukiilya, Isaa apika ku nsoko a ng'wana nuang'wa Adamu ku kuligwa.
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.
Huiili, huiili, kumutambuila, imbeu a ngano anga ileke kugwa mi ihi nu kusha, ikiee uu ing'wene duu, ila anga ishe, ikupa nkali idu.
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)
Nuanso nululoilwe u likalo nu lakwe ukululimilya; ila nuanso nu lubipiwe u likalo nu lakwe mu unkumbigulu uwu uku uhuja ga u upanga nua kali na kali. (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.
Muntu wihi anga wanzailye unene, nu antyate, nu nene kunkoli, papo nu munyamilimo nuane nuikatula ukoli. Muntu wihi nuikanzaiilya, uTata ukumukulya.
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.
Itungili i nkolo ane ahusha: nu nene ndigitye uli? 'Tata, ungune mu saa iyi” kuiti ingi ku isigo ili nimipikiie i saa iyi.
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.”
Tata, ulikulye i lina ni lako.” Uugwa luli lukaza nu kuligitya “Nalikulyaa nu nene kulikulya hangi.”
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Ila ianza nai limikile pakupi ni enso akija, akaligitya nia kina yatula nu mulilo, Auya ai aligitilye, “Malaika witambuuye nu ng'wenso.”
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
uYesu akasukiilya nu kuligitya, Luli ulu shanga luzile ku nsoko ane, ila kunsoko anyu.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Itungili ulamulwa nua unkumbigulu uwu ukoli; Itungili u mukulu nua unkumbigulu uwu ukugung'wa kunzi.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
Nu nene anga nyansulwe migulya ihi, kualuta ihi kitalane.”
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Ai wituntile nanso azelagiila ingi nshile kii nuikasha.
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)
Ianza likasukiilya, “Usese kigulye mi lagiilyo nia kina uKristo ukikie i kali na kali. Nu ewe kuligitya uli, 'Ng'wana nuang'wa Adamu kusinja wanyansulwe migulya'? uyu u ng'wana nua muntu ingi nyenyu?” (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.
Ila uYesu aka atambuila, “Welu ukoli palung'wi nu nyenye itungo iniino. Longoli nsoko mukete u welu, iti kina i kiti kileke kumuhumiilya. Nuanso nui longolaa mukiti shanga ulingile kulongoe.
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.
Mukili mukete u welu.” uYesu ai umaligitilye ni hangi akalongola yakwe akipiha aleke kumihenga.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Ga ni iti uYesu aiwitumile ilingasiilyo idu kinya nianso ntongeela ao, akili shanga akahuiila.
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?”
iti lipikiile ikani ni lang'wa Isaya, nai uligitilye; “Mukulu, ingi nyenyu nai uhuiie inkani yitu? Nu mukono nua Mukulu ukunukuiwe nyenyu?”
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Yiyo nsoko ni anso shanga ai ahuiie, ndogoelyo uIsaya ai uligitilye hangi,
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.”
“Uapokuuye imiho, nu kuitenda nkaku i nkolo ni ao; aleke kihenga ku miho ao nu kulinga ku nkolo ni ao, nu kugunika nu nene nikaanguna.”
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
uIsaya ai uligitilye imakani nanso kunsoko ai wihengile ikulyo nilang'wa Yesu nu kuligitya inkani niakwe.
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,
Ga ni iti, ga i akulu idu ai amuhuiie uYesu; kuiti ku nsoko iAfarisayo, shanga ai alapile iti aleke kubagulwa ni Itekeelo.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Ai iloile ikulyo ni ana adamu kukila ikulyo nilipembeeye kung'wa Itungo.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
uYesu akanyansula ululi nu kuligitya, “Nuanso nunihuiie unene, shanga unihuiie unene duu ila nu ng'wenso nai undagiiye unene,
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
nuanso nunihengile unene umihengile nuanso nai undagiiye.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Unene nzile anga welu mu unkumbigulu iti kila muntu nu nihuiie unene waleke kikie mu kiti.
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.
Anga itule umuntu wihi ukija imakani ane kuiti waleke kumaamba, unene shanga kumulamula; ndogoelyo shanga ainzile iti nu ulamule u unkumbigulu, ila nuugune u unkumbigulu.
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.
Nuanso nui nihitaa unene hangi shanga wimagombaa imakani ane, ukete nui mulamulaa; lukani nulanso ni nululigitilye lulo nulikamulamula uluhiku nula mpelo.
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.
Ndogoelyo unene shanga ai ndigitilye ku umi nuane du. Ila ingi Tata nai untwae, ng'wenso mukola ai undagiiye ni nikamatambula nu kumaligitya.
