John 11
1 And a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania, the towne of Marie, and her sister Martha.
Awo olwatuuka omuntu ayitibwa Laazaalo eyali e Besaniya n’alwala. Besaniya ky’ekibuga Maliyamu ne Maliza bannyina ba Laazaalo mwe baali.
2 (And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her heare, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.)
Maliyamu oyo ye yasiiga Mukama waffe amafuta ag’akaloosa ku bigere n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze.
3 Therefore his sisters sent vnto him, saying, Lord, beholde, he whome thou louest, is sicke.
Awo Maliyamu ne Maliza ne batumira Yesu ne bamutegeeza nti, “Mukama waffe, mukwano gwo gw’oyagala ennyo mulwadde nnyo.”
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.
Naye Yesu bwe yakitegeera n’agamba nti, “Ekigendereddwa mu bulwadde buno si kufa, wabula kulaga kitiibwa kya Katonda, era n’okuweesa Omwana wa Katonda ekitiibwa.”
5 Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu yali mukwano gwa Maliyamu ne Maliza ne Laazaalo, naye bwe yawulira nga Laazaalo alwadde n’ayongera n’asigala we yali
6 And after he had heard that he was sicke, yet abode hee two dayes still in the same place where he was.
n’amalawo ennaku endala bbiri nga tanagenda gye bali.
7 Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let vs goe into Iudea againe.
Awo ennaku bbiri bwe zaayitawo n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Tuddeyo e Buyudaaya.”
8 The disciples saide vnto him, Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and doest thou goe thither againe?
Kyokka abayigirizwa be, ne bamugamba nti, “Labbi, mu nnaku ntono ezaakayita Abayudaaya baagezaako okukutta. Ate gy’odda?”
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 n’abaddamu nti, “Essaawa ez’emisana ziwera kkumi na bbiri, era omuntu bw’atambula emisana teyeesittala kubanga aba alaba.
10 But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Wabula atambula ekiro ye yeesittala, kubanga omusana teguli mu ye.”
11 These things spake he, and after, he said vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I goe to wake him vp.
Bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’abagamba nti, “Mukwano gwaffe Laazaalo yeebase, naye ŋŋenda kumuzuukusa.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shalbe safe.
Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe oba yeebase anaazuukuka.”
13 Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe.
Naye Yesu yayogera ku kufa kwa Laazaalo, kyokka bo abayigirizwa be ne balowooza nti ayogera ku kwebaka tulo.
14 Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely, Lazarus is dead.
Awo n’alyoka abategeereza ddala nti, “Laazaalo afudde.
15 And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may beleeue: but let vs go vnto him.
Naye ku lw’obulungi bwammwe, nsanyuse kubanga ssaaliyo, mulyoke mukkirize; kale mujje tugende gy’ali.”
16 Then saide Thomas (which is called Didymus) vnto his felow disciples, Let vs also goe, that we may die with him.
Awo Tomasi eyayitibwanga Didumo n’agamba banne nti, “Ka tugende tufiire wamu naye.”
17 Then came Iesus, and found that he had lien in the graue foure dayes alreadie.
Bwe baatuuka e Besaniya Yesu n’asanga nga Laazaalo yaakamala ennaku nnya mu ntaana.
18 (Nowe Bethania was neere vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off.)
Besaniya kyali kumpi ne Yerusaalemi, kilomita nga ssatu.
19 And many of ye Iewes were come to Martha and Marie to comfort them for their brother.
Abayudaaya bangi baali bazze okukubagiza Maliza ne Maliyamu olw’okufiirwa mwannyinaabwe.
20 Then Martha, when shee heard that Iesus was comming, went to meete him: but Mary sate still in the house.
Maliza bwe yawulira nti Yesu ajja, n’agenda okumusisinkana, kyokka Maliyamu n’asigala mu nnyumba ng’atudde.
21 Then said Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not bene dead.
Awo Maliza n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde.
22 But now I know also, that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God will giue it thee.
Era kaakano mmanyi nti buli ky’onoosaba Katonda, ajja kukikuwa.”
23 Iesus said vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.
Yesu n’agamba Maliza nti, “Mwannyoko ajja kuzuukira.”
24 Martha said vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.
Maliza n’amuddamu nti, “Mmanyi nti alizuukira ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.”
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 n’amugamba nti, “Nze kuzuukira n’obulamu; akkiriza nze newaakubadde ng’afudde, aliba mulamu,
na buli muntu omulamu akkiriza nze talifa emirembe n’emirembe. Ekyo okikkiriza?” (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.
Maliza n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange nzikiriza nti ggwe Kristo Omwana wa Katonda, ajja mu nsi.”
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.
Awo Maliza bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’ava eri Yesu n’agenda eri Maliyamu n’amuzza ku bbali mu kyama ng’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza azze, akuyita.”
29 And when she heard it, shee arose quickly, and came vnto him.
Maliyamu olwawulira ekyo n’asitukiramu n’agenda eri Yesu.
30 For Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Yesu yali akyali mu kifo Maliza we yamusisinkana nga tannatuuka mu kibuga.
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.
Abayudaaya abaali bazze okukubagiza abaali mu nnyumba ne Maliyamu bwe baamulaba ng’ayimiridde mangu ng’afuluma ne bamugoberera ne balowooza nti agenda ku ntaana akaabire eyo.
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.
Maliyamu bwe yatuuka awali Yesu n’afukamira ku bigere bye, nga bw’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde.”
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 bwe yamulaba ng’akaaba era n’Abayudaaya abaali naye nga bakaaba n’anyolwa mu mutima, n’ajjula obuyinike.
34 And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see.
N’abuuza nti, “Mwamuteeka wa?” Ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe jjangu olabeyo.”
35 And Iesus wept.
Yesu n’akaaba amaziga.
36 Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him.
Awo Abayudaaya ne bagamba nti, “Ng’abadde amwagala nnyo!”
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?
Naye abamu ku bo ne bagamba nti, “Ono eyazibula amaaso ga muzibe, lwaki teyaziyiza musajja ono kufa?”
38 Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue. And it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it.
Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera okujjula obuyinike. N’atuuka ku ntaana. Yali mpuku ng’eggaliddwawo n’ejjinja.
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 n’agamba nti, “Muggyeewo ejjinja.” Naye Maliza, mwannyina w’omufu, n’amugamba nti, “Kaakano awunya nnyo, kubanga yaakamala ennaku nnya mu ntaana.”
40 Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God?
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Saakugambye nti bw’onokkiriza onoolaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda?”
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.
Ne baggyawo ejjinja. Awo Yesu n’atunula waggulu n’agamba nti, “Kitange nkwebaza olw’okumpulira.
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.
Mmanyi nti bulijjo ompulira, naye kino nkyogedde olw’abantu bano abayimiridde wano, balyoke bakkirize nti ggwe wantuma.”
43 As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.
Bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo, n’akoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Laazaalo fuluma.”
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.
Awo Laazaalo n’ava mu ntaana, ng’amagulu ge n’emikono bizingiddwa mu ngoye eziziikibwamu abafu, nga n’ekiremba kisibiddwa ku maaso ge. Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mumusumulule atambule.”
45 Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.
Bangi ku Bayudaaya abajja ne Maliyamu bwe baalaba Yesu ky’akoze ne bamukkiriza.
46 But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.
Naye abalala ne bagenda eri Abafalisaayo ne babategeeza Yesu kye yakola.
47 Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.
Awo bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo ne batuuza olukiiko ne bagamba nti, “Tukole ki? Kubanga omuntu ono akola ebyamagero bingi.
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.
Bwe tumuleka bw’atyo, abantu bonna bajja kumukkiriza bamugoberere, n’ekirivaamu Abaruumi bagenda kujja bazikirize ekifo ekitukuvu n’eggwanga lyaffe.”
49 Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,
Awo omu ku bo, Kayaafa eyali Kabona Asinga Obukulu mu mwaka ogwo, n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe temuliiko kye mumanyi.
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.
Temulaba nti kirungi omuntu omu afe, eggwanga lyonna lireme kuzikirira?”
51 This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:
Ekyo Kayaafa teyakyogera ku bubwe, wabula ye nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu, yayogera eby’obunnabbi nti Yesu yali anaatera okufiirira eggwanga,
52 And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.
ate si ggwanga lyokka naye n’okukuŋŋaanya abaana ba Katonda abaasaasaana.
53 Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.
Okuva ku lunaku olwo abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne basala amagezi okutta Yesu.
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.
Noolwekyo, Yesu n’alekayo okutambula mu Buyudaaya mu lwatu, wabula n’avaayo n’alaga mu kifo ekiriraanye eddungu, mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Efulayimu, n’abeera eyo n’abayigirizwa be.
55 And the Iewes Passeouer was at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusalem before the Passeouer, to purifie themselues.
Embaga y’Abayudaaya ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako yali eneetera okutuuka, abantu bangi ne bava mu byalo ne bambuka e Yerusaalemi okukola omukolo ogw’okwetukuza ng’embaga tennatuuka.
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?
Bwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde mu Yeekaalu, ne banoonya Yesu, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Mulowooza mutya? Yesu tajje ku mbaga?”
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.
Bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo baali balagidde nti, Omuntu yenna bw’amanya Yesu wali abategeeze, balyoke bamukwate.
