< John 11 >
1 And a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania, the towne of Marie, and her sister Martha.
Lino umwi mwalumi walikutegwa Lazalo wakalikuchiswa. Wakali kuzwa ku Bbetani, igunzi mwakali kukkala Meli a amuchizi wakwe Maata.
2 (And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her heare, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.)
Meli nguwe oyo iwakananika Mwami amuunde akumusinda mawulu akwe amasusu, ngula mukulana Lazalo wakachisidwe.
3 Therefore his sisters sent vnto him, saying, Lord, beholde, he whome thou louest, is sicke.
Bachizi bakananizya mulumbe kuli Jesu kabaamba kuti, 'Mwami, Langa, ooyo ngoyandisya wachiswa.”
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.
Jesu nakamvwa eezi, wakati, “Óku kuchiswa tekwakufwa pe, pesi nkwabulemu bwa Leza kuti akonzye kulemekwa kuli nzizyo.”
5 Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
Lino Jesu wakali kuyandisya Maata, mwanike wakwe, a Lazalo.
6 And after he had heard that he was sicke, yet abode hee two dayes still in the same place where he was.
Nakamvwa kuti Lazalo wachiswa, Jesu wakakkala kwamazuba aabili lubo kubusena oobo nkwakabede.
7 Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let vs goe into Iudea againe.
Mpawo nikwakiinda eezi, wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Tubwede lubo ku Judiya.”
8 The disciples saide vnto him, Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and doest thou goe thither againe?
Basikwiya bakati kuli nguwe, “Muyiisyi, lino lino bama Juda balokwezezya kuti bakutulule alimwi uyanda kubweda luubo?”
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.
Jesu wakavwila, “Taakuli mahoola alikkumi aabili na amumuuni mubuzuba bumwi? Na umwi weenda izuba kaliliwo, takonzyi pe kuti aligubbule, nkambo unobona amumuni wenyika.
10 But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Nikuba boobo, kuti weenda mansiku, ulawaa nkambo mudima tuli anguwe.”
11 These things spake he, and after, he said vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I goe to wake him vp.
Wakaamba zintu ezi, nakamana kwamba ezi, wakati kuli mbabo, imuzyalwama Lazalo ulookona, pesi njankuko kuchitila kuti nkamubusye kuzwa mukoona.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shalbe safe.
Basikwiya mpawo bakati kuli nguwe, “Mwaami na kali ulokoona, ulabuka.”
13 Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe.
Lino Jesu wakalaambide akufwa kwakwe, pesi bakayeya aanga wakali kwambula akoona kwakulyokezya.
14 Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely, Lazarus is dead.
Mpawo Jesu wakabambila kanzambwenene kuti, “Lazalo wafwa.
15 And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may beleeue: but let vs go vnto him.
Ndabotelwa, nkambo kandinywe, kuti tendaliwope pe kuchitila kuti musyome. Twende kulinguwe.
16 Then saide Thomas (which is called Didymus) vnto his felow disciples, Let vs also goe, that we may die with him.
Tomasi, ooyo walikwitwa kuti Didimasi, wakati kuli basikwiyanyina “Twiinke andiswe kuchitila kuti tukafwe a Jesu.”
17 Then came Iesus, and found that he had lien in the graue foure dayes alreadie.
Nakasika Jesu wakajana kuti Lazalo wakali mukabanda kwamazuba aane.
18 (Nowe Bethania was neere vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off.)
Lino Bbeteli yakali afwifwi a Jelusalema, mweelwe walikusika kumamayila obile.
19 And many of ye Iewes were come to Martha and Marie to comfort them for their brother.
Bama Juda biingi bakalizide kuli Maata a Meli, kuzobaambulizya atala amuchizi wabo.
20 Then Martha, when shee heard that Iesus was comming, went to meete him: but Mary sate still in the house.
Eelyo Maata, nakamvwa kuti Jesu wasika, wakayinka wakuswanana awe, pesi Meli wakali kkede mungánda.
21 Then said Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not bene dead.
Mpawo Maata wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwami, aanoli wakaliwo, mukulana wangu tayinofwa pe.
22 But now I know also, that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God will giue it thee.
Nikuba lino, ndilizi kuti kufumbwa nchokumbila kuli Leza, ulakupa.
23 Iesus said vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Mukulana wako ulabuka lubo.”
24 Martha said vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.
Maata wakati kulinguwe, “Ndizi kuti ulabuka lubo kububuke muzuba lyakumamanino.”
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.
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndendime bubuke abuumi, Ooyo uusyoma mulindime nikuba kuti wafwa, uyopona;
26 And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in me, shall neuer die: Beleeuest thou this? (aiōn )
alimwi kufumbwa oyo upona akusyoma mulindime takoyofwa pe. Ulazisyoma na eezi?” (aiōn )
27 She said vnto him, Yea, Lord, I beleeue that thou art that Christ that Sonne of God, which should come into the world.
Wakati kulinguwe, “Iyii, Mwami, ndilasyoma kuli nduwe Kkilisito, Mwana wa Leza, ooyo utazosike munyika.”
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.
Naakamba ezi wakazwa waya kukwita Meli chakusisilikizya. Wakati, “Muyiisyi ulaano alubo ulokukwiita.”
29 And when she heard it, shee arose quickly, and came vnto him.
Mpakamvwa ezi, wakanyampuka achakufwambana akwinka kulinguwe.
30 For Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Li no Jesu takalina kusika pe mumunzi pesi wakachili kubusena ooko Maata nkwakamuswene.
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.
Mpawo awo ba Juda, bakalanguwe mungánda bakali kumumbulizya nibakabona Meli kanyampuka chakufwambana kaaya aanze bakamutobela kabayeeya aanga wakali kuya kuchuumbwe kukuyolila.
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.
Meli nakasika abusena aawo Jesu mpakabede akumubona wakawida kundyato zyakwe akwamba kuti, “Mwami aanoli walaano, Mukulana wangu natafwide pe.”
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,
Jesu nakamubona kalila, abaJuda mbakazide aabo kabalila, wakeetelela, wakatazikana akujatwa mumoyo wakwe.
34 And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see.
Wakati, “nkokuli nkumwakakumulazika?” Bakati kuli nguwe, “Mwami, boola uzobone.”
36 Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him.
Mpawo ba Juda bakati, “Boona kuti Lazalo walikumuyanda biyeni!”
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?
Pesi bamwi baabo bakaamba kuti, “Talikukonzya na ooyu mwalumi wakajula meso amuntu moofu, kuchitila kuti ooyu muntu atafwi?”
38 Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue. And it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it.
Mpawo Jesu, kachizwide kukatazikana mulinguwe, wakayinka kuchuumbwe. Lino chumbwe yakali mpako, nkabela kwakasinkidwe ibbwe mpawo.
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.
Jesu wakati, “Mugwisye ibbwe, “Maata muchizi wa Lazalo, ooyo iwakafwide wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwami, kuli eechi chiindi mubili unoli wabola, nkambo waba amazuba aane kafwide.
40 Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God?
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Tendakwambila na kuti, wasyoma ulabona bulemu bwa Leza?”
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.
Mpawo bakagwisya ibbwe balibikka kumbali. Jesu wakalanga kujulu akwamba kuti, “Taata, ndakulumba kuti wandiswilizya.
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.
Ndalizi kuti ulandiswilizya chiindi choonse, pesi nkambo kankamu yabantu bayimvwi akati kangu nchindamba eezi, kuchitila kuti basyome kuli nduwe nuwakandituma.”
43 As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.
Nakamana kwambula ezi, wakawompolola ajwi lilaajulu, “Lazalo, zwida aanze!”
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.
Mwalumi wakafwide wakazwida aanze, mawulu akwe amaboko akali zambilidwe asila. Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Amumuzambanune mumuleke ayeende.”
45 Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.
Mpawo bamaJuda biingi bakazide kuli Meli akubona ezyo Jesu nzyakachita, bakasyoma mulinguwe;
46 But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.
pesi bamwi baabo bakaya kuba Falisi bakubabuzya izintu Jesu nzyakali wachita.
47 Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.
Mpawo bapati babapayizi abaFalisi bakabungania bwendelezi amwi akwamba kuti, “Niinzi nchitutachite? Ooyu mwalumi uchita zitondezyo zyiingi.
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.
Kuti tumusiye alikke kali boobu, boonse balasyoma kuli nguwe; ma Loma balaza akututolela busena bwesu achisi chesu.”
49 Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,
Nikuba oobo, umwi mwalumi akati kabo, Kkeyifasi, wakali mupayizi mupati ooyo munyaka, wakati kuli mbabo, Taakwe nchimuzi pe.
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.
Tamulangisisyi na kuti nchibotu kuli ndinywe kuti kufwe umwi muntu kafwida bantu kwinda kuti nyika yoonse ifwidilile.”
51 This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:
Lino eechi wakachaamba kachitazwide mulinguwe anukuti wakali mupayizi mupati oyo munyaka, wakasinsima kuti Jesu welede kufwida nyika;
52 And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.
kutali chisi luzutu, pesi kuchitila kuti baana baLeza abo basanseene babunganisigwe aamwi babe umwi.
53 Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.
Mpawo kuzwa eelyo izuba kaziya kunembo bakalangula inzila yakuti Jesu bamujaye.
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.
Jesu takachili kweenda antanganana pe akati kaba Juda, pesi wakeenda wazwa waya kuli imwi inyika afwifwi akunkaanda mudolopo litegwa Efulemu. Nkuko nkwakakkala abasikwiiya bakwe.
55 And the Iewes Passeouer was at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusalem before the Passeouer, to purifie themselues.
Lino ipasika lyabama Juda lyakali lyaba afwifwi, mpawo biingi bakaya ku Jelusalema kabazwa kuzisi bayinka kuti bakalisalazye beni.
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?
Bakali kuyandula Jesu, kabalo kwambula umwi awumwi kabayimvwi muchikombelo, “Muyeyayi loko? kuti ulaleka kusika kupobwe?”
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.
Lino bapayizi bapati aba Falisi bakali bapa malayilile akuti kufumbwa muntu unoli ulizi ooko Jesu nkwanobede, uyelede kuzyamba kuchitila kuti bamujate.
