John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Isikhu sita kabla ya ikhaha, u Yesu akhaluta khu Bethania, ukhyakhale u Lazaro, uyakhanchosinehe ukhuhuma khuwofye.
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.
Po vakhamwandalela ekhatio lya ekhanalyakhemikhe ukhya, nu Martha akhambombela, usekhe ugwa u Lazaro akhale paninye vavala vakhatamile pakhyakho lya paninye no 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.
Po u Mariamu akhatora elati ya mafuta gago gatengenesiwe nardo enonu, yeyo yelenesamani embakha, akhabukha u Yesu mmalunde, nukhupukhuta mmalunde khunjwele ncha mwene enyumba yoni yekhadega ekharufu ya amafuta (amanukato).
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
Yuda Iskariote, yumo va vasiole vamwene, yuywa uyakheva ikhosaliti u Yesu, akhanchova,
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
“Khekhi amafuta aga gakhagagonchiwe khukhela dinali mia tatu vakhavapewiwe avaganchu?”
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.
Vope akhaganchova ago, sio ikhova kolela ekhesa avaganchu, ulyakhova akhale indyesi: umwene veibite upakho gw khela alekotola baadhi ya vifyo vivekhiwe umwa khojili ya mwene.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
U Yesu akhanchova, “Indekhe avekhe ekhyalenakho khojili ya sikhu ya khosiela kholyone.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Avaganchu mwiva navo isikhu nchoni; lene samukhave nune isikhu nchoni.”
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.
Po elipoga elivakha lya Vayahudi povakhalumanya khuta u Yesu aleukhya, navakhincha, sio khwa Yesu tuu, ila vambone u Lazaro yuywa u Yesu akhasielyule ukhukhuma khuvofye.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Navope avavakha va vatekhenchi vakhedekhana ili vabude u Lazaro;
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
maana khiyili ya mwene avingi Avayakhudi vakhaluta vakhamwedekha u 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.
Isikhu ya vele elipoga divakha vakhincha khushelehe. Vavapolikhe ukhuta u Yesu ikhyincha kho 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.”
vakhatola amatawi ga mibekhe ga matende nokhokhoma khinji ukhuluta khu khopokhela nokhotova ekelele, “Khosana! Asayiwe uyikhyincha kholitawa lya Ntwa, Umbakha va Israeli.”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
U Yesu akhapata umwa punda; kama uluyandekhiiwe,
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
“Usite, ukhudyada, ng'enja Sayuni; lola, Umbakha vakho ikhwincha, etogile emwana- punda.”
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.
Avasiole vamwene savakhageliwe ago pavotengolelo; u Yesu avile aginiwe, bakhopo povakhakombokha imbombo inchi akhasimba umwene nokhota vavombile imbombo inchi khomwene.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Po lela elipoga lya vanu vavo vakhale popaninye nu Yesu vova mwelangile u Lazaro ukhuma ndipomba, vakholola khuvange.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Po yekhale khosababu eye ukhuta elipoga lya vanu vakhalotile khukho pokhela khusababu vakhapolikhe ukhuta akhavombile eishara eyo.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
Avamafarisayo vakhonchovana vavo kho vavo, “Lola, leno samukhawesye ukhuvomba khokhoni; lola, ekhelunga khelutile khumwene.”
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Po avange avayunani vakhale miongoni mwa vala avakhale valekolota khu khesaya khu shelekhe.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Ava vakhandotela u Filipo, yuywa akhomile kho Bethsaida ya Galilaya, vakhadava vakhanchova, “Intwa, ufye twinogwa akhombona u Yesu.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
U Filipo akhalota akhombola u Andrea; u Andrea nu Filipo vakhalota nokhombola u Yesu.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
U Yesu akhanda, akhanchova, lene yefikhe khojili ya mwana va Adamu ukhuginiwa.
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.
Ninchova, ninchova, nikhovavola, epunje ya ngano yegasite ukhugwa ikelunga yakhafya, yitama ekhali yela yela yene, po yengafye, yikhala isekhe imbakha.
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)
Umwene uyavoganile uwomi wa mwene ikhovoyancha; khoba uyikalala uwomi wa mwene ikelunga uma ikheponya khata uwomi wa sikhu nchoni. (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.
Umunu yoyoni uyikhombombela une, ang'onge; uponelepo une, po nayosukhya vango ivapwale. Umunu yeyoni uyakheva ikhombombela, udada ikhoginya.
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.
Leno inumbula yango yesikhitikhe na yone nenchove ndakhekhi'? 'Dada, unyokhole isaliinchi'? Khulugano ulu nefikhe isainchi.
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.”
Daada, leginiwe elitawa lyakho.” Po esawoti yekhencha ukhuma khokyanya nokhonchova, neligininche nayone nikhdeginya khange.”
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Po lipoga elekhemile jilani navope vakha polekha, vakhanchova vakhata, khuvile numwongulumo. Avange vakhanchova, “Usukhwa inchova nave.”
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
U Yesu akhanda akhanchova, esawoti eye sayekhinche kholyone, bali kholyomwe.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Leno uvokhegi wa khelonga ekhe khovole: Umbakha va khelunga ekhe itagiwa khonji.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
Nayone nengotojiwe khokyanya ikhelonga, nikhovakwega voni kholyone.”
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Akhanchova ago akhavonesya wofye wokhi uvoyakheva ifya.
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)
Elipoga lekhanda, “Ufye topolikhe ululagele ukhuta u Klisiti itama khata isikhu nchoni. Nayove wita ndakhekhi, 'Umwana va Adamu lazima inoliwe khokyanya'? Uyu Umwana va munu veni?” (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.
Po u Yesu akhavavola, ulumuli lungave popaninye numwe usekhe idebe. Mulutage ulukhova mule nulumuli, ekhisi yiwesya yevibate. Uyilota mukhisi salumanyile ukhyilota.
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.
Ulyakhova mnchige nulumuli, mulyedekhe ulumuli ulya mpate ukhova vana va lumuli.” U Yesu akhanchova ago po akhaluta akhefikha vasite ukhumbona.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Ulyakhova u Yesu avombile amambo mingi khovolongolo khovene, bado savakha mwedekhe
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?”
ili letimele elimenyu lyanyamalago u Isaya, elyakhonchovile: “Intwa, veni uyanchipolikhe ikhabali ncheto? Nekhevokho khantwa afunuliwe veni?”
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Ndiomana avene savakhamwedekhe ulyakhova u Isaya akhanchovile khange,
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.”
“Avabudile amikho, ayevikhile ngafu inumbula yavene; vasite ukhulola khomikho gavene navakhalumanya khunumbula ncha vene, ayavikhwokhokha na yone nikhovaponya.”
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
U Isaya akhanchova amamenyu ago ulya khova akhavowene uvovakha wa Yesu nakhanchova ikhabari ncha mwene.
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,
Ulyakhova, ata avavakha vingi vakhamwedikhe u Yesu; ulyakhova Avamafarisayo, savakhedekhe ukhuta ayavitengiwa na avamasinagogi.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Vakhanogile uluginyo ulya vanu khulikho uluginyo ulolukhomana nu Ngoluve.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
U Yesu akhatoncha esawati no khonchova, “Yuywa ikhonyedekha une, sikhonyedekha une tuu bali nayoywa akhasukhile une,
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
navope uyikhombona une ikhombona yuywa asukhile.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Une ninchile kama lumuli ikelunga ili khela munu uyikhonyedekha une asite ukhutama mkhisi.
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.
Ingave umu yeyoni ikhogapolekha amamenyu gango lakini asite ukhugibata, une sanikhon'gega; maana sanekhinche ili nekhege ekhelunga, bali nevokhole avakelunga.
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.
Yuywa ikhobela une nayoywa sikhyedekha amamenyu gango, nayoywa ikhongega: elimenyu ilyo lelyo nenchovile lyulyene lelangega esikhu ya mwisyo.
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.
Une sanekhenchove khunumbula yango tuu. Ve Dada uyakhan'gelikhe yuywa umwene andaginche aga yakheva ninchova.
