John 11
1 And a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania, the towne of Marie, and her sister Martha.
Tsopano munthu wina dzina lake Lazaro anadwala. Iye anali wa ku Betaniya, mudzi wa Mariya ndi mchemwali wake Marita.
2 (And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her heare, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.)
Mariyayo ndi yemwe uja amene anadzoza Ambuye ndi mafuta onunkhira napukuta mapazi ake ndi tsitsi lake. Lazaro wodwalayo anali mlongo wake.
3 Therefore his sisters sent vnto him, saying, Lord, beholde, he whome thou louest, is sicke.
Choncho alongo ake anatumiza mawu kwa Yesu kuti, “Ambuye, uja amene Inu mumamukonda akudwala.”
4 When Iesus heard it, he saide, This sickenes is not vnto death, but for the glorie of God, that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby.
Atamva izi, Yesu anati, “Kudwalako safa nako. Koma akudwala kuti Mulungu alemekezedwe; ndi kuti Mwana wa Mulungu alemekezedwe chifukwa cha matendawo.”
5 Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu anakonda Marita, mchemwali wake ndi Lazaro.
6 And after he had heard that he was sicke, yet abode hee two dayes still in the same place where he was.
Koma atamva kuti Lazaro akudwala, Iye anakhalabe kumene anali masiku ena awiri.
7 Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let vs goe into Iudea againe.
Kenaka anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Tiyeni tibwerere ku Yudeya.”
8 The disciples saide vnto him, Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and doest thou goe thither againe?
Ophunzira akewo anati, “Rabi, posachedwa pomwepa Ayuda anafuna kukugendani ndi miyala, koma Inu mukupitanso komweko?”
9 Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If a man walke in the day, hee stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi sipali maora khumi ndi awiri pa tsiku? Munthu amene amayenda masana sapunthwa, popeza akuona chifukwa cha kuwala kwa dziko lapansi.
10 But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Koma amene akuyenda usiku amapunthwa, chifukwa kuwalako alibe.”
11 These things spake he, and after, he said vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I goe to wake him vp.
Iye atatha kunena izi, anapitirira kuwawuza iwo kuti, “Bwenzi lathu Lazaro wagona tulo; koma Ine ndikupita kumeneko kukamudzutsa.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shalbe safe.
Ophunzira ake anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, ngati wagona adzapeza bwino.”
13 Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe.
Yesu ankayankhula za imfa yake koma ophunzira ake ankaganiza kuti amanena za tulo chabe.
14 Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely, Lazarus is dead.
Ndipo kenaka anawawuza momveka kuti, “Lazaro wamwalira.
15 And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may beleeue: but let vs go vnto him.
Ine ndikukondwera chifukwa cha inu kuti kunalibe kumeneko; koma kuti mukakhulupirire tiyeni tipiteko.”
16 Then saide Thomas (which is called Didymus) vnto his felow disciples, Let vs also goe, that we may die with him.
Pamenepo Tomasi, wotchedwa Didimo, anati kwa ophunzira anzake, “Tiyeni nafenso tipite, kuti tikafere naye pamodzi.”
17 Then came Iesus, and found that he had lien in the graue foure dayes alreadie.
Yesu atafika, anapeza kuti Lazaro anali atagona mʼmanda masiku anayi.
18 (Nowe Bethania was neere vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off.)
Mudzi wa Betaniya unali pafupi ndi Yerusalemu pa mtunda wosachepera makilomita atatu,
19 And many of ye Iewes were come to Martha and Marie to comfort them for their brother.
ndipo Ayuda ambiri anabwera kwa Marita ndi Mariya kudzawatonthoza pa imfa ya mʼbale wawo.
20 Then Martha, when shee heard that Iesus was comming, went to meete him: but Mary sate still in the house.
Pamene Marita anamva kuti Yesu akubwera, anapita kukakumana naye. Koma Mariya anatsala ku nyumba.
21 Then said Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not bene dead.
Marita anati kwa Yesu, “Ambuye, mukanakhala muli kuno, mlongo wanga sakanamwalira.
22 But now I know also, that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God will giue it thee.
Koma ine ndikudziwa kuti ngakhale tsopano Mulungu adzakupatsani chilichonse chimene mudzamupempha.”
23 Iesus said vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.
Yesu anati kwa iye, “Mlongo wako adzauka.”
24 Martha said vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.
Marita anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti adzauka pa kuukanso pa tsiku lomaliza.”
25 Iesus saide vnto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue.
Yesu anati kwa iye, “Ine ndine kuuka ndi moyo. Wokhulupirira Ine, angakhale amwalira adzakhala ndi moyo.
Aliyense amene ali ndi moyo ndi kukhulupirira Ine sadzamwalira. Kodi iwe ukukhulupirira izi?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said vnto him, Yea, Lord, I beleeue that thou art that Christ that Sonne of God, which should come into the world.
Marita anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Inde Ambuye, ine ndikukhulupirira kuti ndinu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu, amene abwera mʼdziko lapansi.”
28 And when she had so saide, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Ndipo iye atanena izi anabwerera ndi kukayitana mchemwali wake Mariya namuyankhula monongʼona pambali, nati, “Aphunzitsi abwera ndipo akukuyitana.”
29 And when she heard it, shee arose quickly, and came vnto him.
Mariya atamva izi, anayimirira mofulumira napita kwa Iye.
30 For Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Tsopano nʼkuti Yesu asanalowe mʼmudzi, koma anali akanali pa malo pamene Marita anakumana naye.
31 The Iewes then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they sawe Marie, that she rose vp hastily, and went out, folowed her, saying, She goeth vnto the graue, to weepe there.
Ayuda amene ankamutonthoza Mariya mʼnyumba, anaona mmene iye anayimira mofulumira ndi kutuluka kunja, iwo anamutsata akuganizira kuti ankapita ku manda kukalirira kumeneko.
32 Then when Mary was come where Iesus was, and sawe him, she fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him, Lord, if thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene dead.
Mariya anafika pamalo pamene panali Yesu ndipo atamuona, anagwa pa mapazi ake ndipo anati, “Ambuye mukanakhala muli kuno mlongo wanga sakanamwalira.”
33 When Iesus therefore saw her weepe, and the Iewes also weepe which came with her, hee groned in the spirit, and was troubled in himselfe,
Yesu ataona iye akulira, ndi Ayuda amene anabwera naye akuliranso, anakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kuvutika mu mzimu.
34 And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see.
Iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mwamuyika kuti?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ambuye tiyeni mukaone.”
35 And Iesus wept.
Yesu analira.
36 Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him.
Pamenepo Ayuda anati, “Taonani mmene Iye anamukondera Lazaro!”
37 And some of them saide, Coulde not he, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue made also, that this man should not haue died?
Koma ena a iwo anati, “Iye amatsekula maso a munthu wosaona, kodi sakanakhoza kuletsa kuti munthu uyu asamwalire?”
38 Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue. And it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it.
Yesu atakhudzidwanso kwambiri anafika ku manda. Manda akewo anali phanga ndipo anatsekapo ndi mwala.
39 Iesus saide, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said vnto him, Lord, he stinketh alreadie: for he hath bene dead foure dayes.
Yesu anati, “Chotsani mwala.” Marita mlongo wa womwalirayo anati, “Koma Ambuye, nthawi ino wayamba kununkha, pakuti wakhala mʼmenemu masiku anayi.”
40 Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God?
Kenaka Yesu anati, “Kodi Ine sindinakuwuze kuti ngati iwe ukhulupirira, udzaona ulemerero wa Mulungu?”
41 Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde. And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and saide, Father, I thanke thee, because thou hast heard me.
Choncho iwo anachotsa mwalawo. Kenaka Yesu anayangʼana kumwamba ndikuti, “Atate, Ine ndikukuthokozani chifukwa mumandimvera.
42 I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent me.
Ine ndimadziwa kuti Inu mumandimvera nthawi zonse, koma Ine ndanena izi chifukwa cha anthu amene ayima pano, kuti iwo akhulupirire kuti Inu munandituma Ine.”
43 As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.
Yesu atanena izi, Iye anayitana ndi mawu ofuwula kuti, “Lazaro, tuluka!”
44 Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.
Munthu womwalirayo anatuluka, womangidwa miyendo ndi manja ndi nsalu za ku manda, ndi nkhope yake yokulungidwa nsalu. Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Mʼmasuleni, ndipo muloleni apite.”
45 Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.
Choncho Ayuda ambiri amene anabwera kudzamuchereza Mariya ndi kuona zimene Yesu anachita anamukhulupirira Iye.
46 But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.
Koma ena a iwo anapita kwa Afarisi ndi kukawawuza zimene Yesu anachita.
47 Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.
Kenaka akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi anayitanitsa msonkhano wa akulu olamulira. Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ife tikuchita chiyani? Pano pali munthu uyu akuchita zizindikiro zodabwitsa zambiri.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation.
Ngati ife timuleka kuti apitirize chotere, aliyense adzamukhulupirira Iye, ndipo kenaka Aroma adzabwera ndi kudzatenga malo athu pamodzi ndi dziko lathu.”
49 Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,
Kenaka mmodzi wa iwo, dzina lake Kayafa, amene anali mkulu wa ansembe chaka chimenecho, anayankhula kuti, “Inu simukudziwa kanthu kalikonse!
50 Nor yet doe you consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Inu simukuzindikira kuti kuli bwino kwa inu kuti munthu mmodzi afe mʼmalo mwa anthu kusiyana ndi kuti mtundu wonse uwonongeke.”
51 This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:
Iye sananene izi mwa iye yekha, koma monga mkulu wa ansembe chaka chimenecho ananenera kuti Yesu anayanera kufera mtundu wa Ayuda,
52 And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.
ndipo osati mtundu okhawo komanso kwa ana ena a Mulungu onse obalalikana, kuti awabweretse pamodzi ndi kuwapanga kukhala amodzi.
53 Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.
Choncho kuyambira tsiku limeneli iwo anakonzekera za kuti amuphe.
54 Iesus therefore walked no more openly among the Iewes, but went thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernes, into a citie called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Chifukwa cha ichi Yesu sanayendenso moonekera pakati pa Ayuda. Mʼmalo mwake Iye anapita ku chigawo cha kufupi ndi chipululu, ku mudzi wa Efereimu, kumene Iye anakhalako ndi ophunzira ake.
55 And the Iewes Passeouer was at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusalem before the Passeouer, to purifie themselues.
Nthawi ya Paska wa Ayuda itayandikira, ambiri anakwera kupita ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku madera a ku midzi chifukwa cha mwambo wa kuyeretsedwa Paska asanafike.
56 Then sought they for Iesus, and spake among themselues, as they stoode in the Temple, What thinke ye, that he cometh not to the feast?
Iwo anapitiriza kumufunafuna Yesu, ndipo pamene ankayimirira mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Kodi ukuganiza chiyani? Kodi Iye sabwera konse kuphwando?”
57 Now both the high Priestes and the Pharises had giuen a commandement, that if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
Koma akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi anapereka lamulo kuti ngati wina aliyense adziwe kumene kunali Yesu, iye akawawuze kuti akamugwire.
