John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Olusiku lwa katanu na imwi ichali ipasaka, Yesu agendele Bethania, anualiga Lazaro, unu asuluye okusoka mu bhafuye.
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.
Mbe nibhamutekelayo ebyilo bya kegolo eyo na Martha nakeleketa, omwanya ogwo Lazaro aliga ali umwi ku bhaliya bheyanjile kubyilo amwi na 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.
Mbe Mariamu nagega ratli ya malange ago gakonjelwe kwa nardo inkonde eyobhulambu muno, namubhambaga Yesu ebhigele, na mukubhula ebhigele kwa jifwili jaye; inyumba yona niijula obhulange bha mafuta.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
Yuda Iskariote, umwi wa bhaliya abheigisibwa bhaye, unu aliga nenda okumulomela inuku Yesu, naika ati,
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
“Kubhaki amafuta ganu gatakakanibwe kwa dinali magana gasatu ni bhabhana abhataka?
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.
Nawe aikile kutyo atali kubhafyila echigongo abhataka, kwokubha aliga mwifi: niwe omugumya wa isagwa gwa impilya aliga nagegamoga ebyo bhatulamoga okubha byaye wenyele.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
Yesu anaika ati,”Mumusige atuleo echo alinacho kulwejo okulusi lwo kusikwa lwani.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Omutaka mulinabho siku jona; nawe mutakubha nanye siku jona.”
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.
Mbe echise chinene cha Bhayaudi bhamenyele ati Yesu aliyo, nibhaja, atali kulwa, Yesu ela nawe bhamulole na Lazaro unu Yesu asuluye okusoka mu bhafuye.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Nawe abhakulu bha bhagabhisi nibhakola imbisike okumwita Lazaro;
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
Kubha kubwaye bhafu Abhayaudi nibhagenda jebwe nibhamwikilisha 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.
Olusiku lwa kabhili echise chinene bhaliga bhejile kumalwa. bhejile bhongwa ati Yesu kaja 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.”
Bhagegele amatabhi gamakinda no kusoka anja nokugenda okumulamila nibhabhuma chikelele,”Hosana! ana libhando unu kaja kwa lisina lya Lata bhugenyi, Omukama wa Israeli.”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
Yesu nabhona omwana wa isikili nakalinyako lwa kutyo jandikilwe,
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
“Utobhaya, muyala wa Sayuni; lola, Omukama wao kaja, alinyile omwana wa isikili
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.
Abheigisibwa bhaye bhatasombokewe emisango ja kubwambilo; Nawe Yesu nakusibwa, niwo nibhechuka okubha emisango jinu andikiwe ati bhakola emisango jinu kumwene.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Mbe liijo lya bhanu abhobhaliga aamwi na Yesu omwanya nibhamubhilkila Lazaro okusoka mufwa, nibhamubhambalila ku bhandi.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Okubha liijo lya bhanu bhagendele okumulamila kwo kubha bhonguwe ati akolele echibhalikilsho echo.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
Abhafalisayo nibhaikana abhene kwa bhene, Lola, woli mutakutula kukola lyona; lola isi yagenda mumwene.”
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Woli bhalio Abhayunani bhaliga amwi mwa bhaliya abhobhagendaga okulamya kumalya.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Bhanu nibhamulubha Filipo, unu asokaga Bethsaida ya Galilaya, nibhamusabwa nibhaika ati,” Lata bhugenyi, ewse echenda okumulola Yesu;
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
Filipo nagenda namubwila ati Andrea; Andrea na Filipo nibhagenda nibhamubwila Yesu.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
Yesu nabhasubya naika ati,”Omwanya gwakinga kulwejo omwana wa Adamu akusibwe.
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.
Ni chimali, chimali, nabhabwila ati, injuma ya ingano ikalema okugwa ku si nifwa, eiyanja awo yenyele; nawe ikafwa, eibhula amatwasho mafu.
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)
Unu kenda obhuanga bwaye alibhubhusha; nawe unu katamaganwa obhuanga bwaye mu si munu alibhuonya nolwo obhuanga bwa kajanende. (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.
Omunu woona akankolela anye, nandubhe; anye nili eyo omukosi wani labhaga. Omunu woone alankolela, Lata alimuyana echibhalo.
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.
Wolyanu omwoyo gwani gwasulumbala: anye enaikaki?'Lata, nuukishe omwanya gunu'? Nawe kulwejo nikingila mumwanya gunu.
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.”
Lata, ulikushe lisina lyao.”Mbe lilaka nilija okusoka mulwile niyaika ati,”Nalikusha anye enilikusha lindi.”
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Mbe ebhise byaliga bhimeleguyu yeyi nage nibhogwa nibhaika ati, kugwajuma. Abhandi nibhaika ati,”Malaika aika nage.”
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
Yesu nasubya naika ati,”Lilaka linu litejile kulwanye nawe ni kubwemwe.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Wolyanu okulamula kwa isi inu ilio: Wolyanu omukulu wa isi inu kesibwa anja.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
Anye nakayanikwa ingulu ya isi, ndifutila bhona kwanye.”
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Aikile kutyo nolesha okufwa kunu kajokufwa.
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)
Elikofyanya nibhamusubya ati,”eswe chonguwe mubhilagilo ati Kristo kabhalio kajanende. Kawe owaikaki,' Omwana wa Adamu ayanikwe ingulu'? Onu omwana wo munu niga?” (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.
Mbe Yesu nabhabwila ati, “Obwelu bhuchalio amwi nemwe mwanya mutoto Nimulibhate muchali no bwelu, echisute chisige okubhagwatila. Oyo kalibhatila muchisute atakumenya enukaja.
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.
Woli muchali no bwelu, mwikilishe obwelu mubhe bhana bho bwelu.”Yesu ejile amala okwaika nagenda jae niibhisa bhasiga kumulola.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Yesu akolele ebhibhalikisho byafu imbele yebwe, bhatamwikilisishe.
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?”
Gukumila omusango gwo mulagi Isaya, aikile ati Lata bhugenyi niga ekilisishe emisango jebwe? No kubhoko kwa Lata bhugenyi kwa sululiwe ga?”
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Nikwo bhatekilisishe, kubha Isaya aikile lindi,
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.”
“Abhaofushe ameso, nakola emitima jebwe bhasige kulola kwa meso gebwe no kumenyegesha ne mitima jebwe nibhekilisha anye nikebheulisha
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
Isaya aikile ati emisango jinu kwokubha alolele likusho la Yesu naika emisango jaye.
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,
Nawe, nolwo mubhakulu bhafu bhamwikilisishe Yesu; Nawe kwokubha Abhafarisayo bhatekilisishe bhataja kuilisibwa na sinagogi.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Bhendaga echibhalo cha bhanu kukila echibhalo cha Nyamuanga.
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 naikila ingulu naika ati,”Unu kanyikilisha naye, atakwikilisha anye tali unu antumile anye,
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
Unu kandola anye kamulola unu antumile.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Anye nejile kubha bwelu bwa isi bhuli munu unu kanyikilisha anye atakwikala muchisute.
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.
Akabha omunu woona atakugwata emisango jani nawe atakujigwata, anye nitakumulamila; okubha nitejile okulamula isi nawe nikishe isi.
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.
Unu kalema anye atakwikilisha emisango jani, unu kamulamula: Omusango gunu naika nigwo gulimulamula ku lusiku lwo bhutelo.
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.
Okubha anye nitaikile kwo mutima gwani Nawe ni Lata unu antumile, nawe omwene andagiliye jinu ndaika na jinu ndaika.
