John 11
1 NOW there was a sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Vaba mutu wumosi wuba mbevo, dizina diandi Lazale. Niandi wuba muisi Betani, buala buba mvuandanga Maliya ayi khombꞌandi Malata.
2 (It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Maliya, niandi nketo wudukudila Pfumu Yesu malasi ma tsudi mu malu ayi wufiona mawu mu zitsuki ziandi. Lazale wuba kimbevo, wuba khomba yi bakala yi Maliya.
3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Buna bakhomba bandi babaketo zituma mutu kuidi Yesu mu kunkamba: —Pfumu, tala mutu wowo weta zola wulembo bedi.
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
Vayi Yesu bu kawa bobo, wutuba: —Kimbevo kioki kilendi kumvonda ko, vayi kidi mu diambu di nkembo wu Nzambi muingi Muana Nzambi kakemboso mu kimbevo kioki.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Muaki Yesu wuzola buwombo Malata, khombꞌandi yi nketo ayi Lazale.
6 Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days.
Vayi bu kawa ti Lazale wulembo bedi, wubuela vuanda bilumbu biodi va buangu kioki kaba.
7 But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea.
Bosi wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Tuvutukanu ku Yuda.
8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again?
Vayi minlonguki miandi minkamba: —A Labi, keti ndambu kuandi yi bilumbu biviokidi, Bayuda bazola kuzuba matadi vayi buabu tidi kuaku buela vutuka ku Yuda!
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because he seeth the light of this world.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Muisi ko kumi zithangu zizole mu muini e? Enati mutu dieti va muini kalendi bumina thutu ko bila wulembo moni kiezila ki nza.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with him.
Vayi enati mutu wulembo diati va builu, buna maka bumina thutu, kiezila kisi ko mu niandi.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up.
Bu kamanisa tuba mambu momo, buna wubuela diaka: —Nkundi eto lazale wulembo leki tulu vayi ndiedi mu kuenda nkotula.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he is asleep, he will recover.
Minlonguki mimvutudila: —Pfumu, enati lekidi tulu buna wela beluka.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
Muaki Yesu wuyolukila lufua luandi vayi bawu babanzila ti Yesu wuyolukila tulu toto tunlekongo.
14 Then Jesus therefore told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Buna Yesu wuba sudikisa ti: —Lazale fuidi.
15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to him.
Vayi khini ndimmona mu diambu dieno bu ndikambu ba vawu muingi luwilukila. Vayi tuendano buabu ku kadi.
16 Then said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin, ) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, that we may die with him.
Tona mutu wowo baba ntedilanga Didime, wukamba bakhomba bandi minlonguki: —Tuendano kuna mu diambu beto mamveto tufua yandi va kimosi.
17 Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days.
Yesu bu katula, wuyenda bata buna Lazale weka bilumbu biya ku tsi ntoto.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Betani diba divula difikama ayi Yelusalemi, nduka-nduka bikilometele bitatu,
19 and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
ayi Bayuda bawombo bayiza kuidi Malata ayi Maliya mu kuba bomba mu diambu di khombꞌawu wu bakala.
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat in the house.
Malata bu kawa ti Yesu lembu yizi, wuyenda kundengana vayi Maiya wuba wuvuanda ku nzo.
21 And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Malata wukamba Yesu: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko.
22 But even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
Vayi buabu nzebi kuama ti dioso kuandi diambu di wela lomba kuidi Nzambi, Nzambi wela kuvana diawu.
23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Yesu wunkamba: —Khombꞌaku wela fuluka.
24 Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise at the resurrection in the last day.
Malata wumvutudila: —Nzebi ti wela fuluka mu lumbu kitsuka, batu bu bela fuluka.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Vayi yesu wunkamba: —Minu ndidi mfulukulu ayi luzingu. Woso wukunguilukila, ka diambu ko wufua, wela zinga.
26 and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
Woso wunzinga ayi wukunguilukila kalendi fua nkutu ko. Wilukidi mawu e? (aiōn g165)
27 She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world.
Malata wumvutudila: —Nyinga Pfumu, minu nguilukidi ti ngeyo Klisto, Muana Nzambi, wunkuiza va nza.
28 So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, and calleth for thee.
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Malata wuyenda tela mu kinsueki Maliya, khombꞌandi yinketo, mu kunkamba: —Maliya, Nlongi wizidingi, ngeyo kantela!
29 As soon as she heard it, she rose hastily, and came to him.
Maliya bu katumbu wa Malata; wutelama mu nsualu ayi wuyenda kuidi Yesu.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot where Martha had met him.
Muaki buna Yesu kakikotidi ko mu buala, wuba kaka va buangu kioki Malata kayiza kundenginina.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there.
Bayuda bobo baba ayi Maliya mu nzo ayi bobo baba kumbomba, bu bamona ti Maliya wutumbu telama mu nsualu ayi wutotuka, buna banlandakana bila babanizla ti wedi ku biziami ku dila.
32 When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died!
Vayi Maliya wutula vaba Yesu, bu kammona buna wubua va malu mandi ayi wunkamba: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko!
33 When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:
Yesu bu kamona ti Maliya wulembo didi va kimosi ayi bayuda bobo babayandi, buna kiadi kingolo kimbuila mu ntima.
34 and he said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
Buna wuyuvula: —Kuevi luntudidi e? Bamvutudila: —Pfumu Yiza tadi.
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu wudila.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him!
Bayuda batuba: —A beno…, Tala phila yikanzodila!
37 But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died?
Vayi bankaka mu bawu batuba: —Mutu wawu niandi wuzibula meso ma phofo, nganu kasi vanga ko diambumuingi mutu wawu kabika fua e?
38 Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it.
Yesu wuluta buela mona kiadi kiwombo mu ntima. Wuyenda ku biziami. Ziami beni kiba kisokolo mu ditadi. Va muelo vawu batula ditadi dinneni.
39 Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Botulanu ditadi diodi. Malata, khomba yi mutu wufua, wunkamba: —Pfumu, weka kuiza tsudi bila kiaki kieka lumbu kinya tona kazikulu.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
Yesu wunkamba: —Ndisi kukambanga ko ti mawumona nkembo wu Nzambi enati wilukidi e?
41 Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me!
Babotula ditadi. Yesu wuvumbula meso mandi ku diyilu, wutuba: —Tata, ndivutudidi matondo bila wukunguilanga.
42 And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Nzebi ti weta kunguila mu zithangu zioso, vayi enati ndintubila bobo mu diambu di nkangu wawu wunzungididi muingi bakikinina ti ngeyo wuthuma.
43 And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth!
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuyamikina mau mbembo yingolo: —Lazale, totuka!
44 And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go!
Mutu wufua wutotuka, wuzingu bitendi-bitendi bi minledi mu mioko ayimu malu; zizi kiandi kifuku ku tsi nledi. Yesu wuba kamba: —Lunnianguna, lumbika kenda kuandi.
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him.
Bawombo mu Bayuda bobo bayiza kuidi Maliya, bu bamona mambu momo mavanga Yesu, banwilukila.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Vayi bankaka mu bawu bayenda bata Bafalisi ayi baba kamba mamo mavanga Yesu.
47 The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles.
Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bakutakana mu lukutukunu lunneni ayi bakamba: —Mbi tufueti vanga e? Bila mutu wawu wulembo vangi bikumu biwombo.
48 If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
Beto kumbika ti kalembo kavanganga bobo, buna batu babo mabanwilukila. Buna basi Loma bela kuiza, bela tulula nzuꞌeto Nzambi ayi tsi eto.
49 Then one particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing,
Vayi wumosi mu bawu, dizina diandi Kayife, niandi wuba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, wuba kamba: —A buna lusi zaba kadi kiasa ko e?
50 nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed.
Luisi zaba ko ti bulutidi mboti mutu wumosi kafua mu diambu di batu boso ayi tsi yoso yibika bungu!
51 And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
Kasia tuba mambu momo mu luzolo luandi veka ko. Vayi bu kaba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, buna wubikula ti Yesu kafueti fua mu diambu di tsi andi.
52 and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed.
Bika sia ti mu diambu di tsi kaka, vayi mu diambu di kutikisabana babo ba Nzambi bamana sasakana muingi bakituka mutu wumosi.
53 Then from that day they consulted together how they might kill him.
Tona lumbu kina, bawizana va kimosi mu diambu bamvondisa.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he abode with his disciples.
Diawu, Yesu kasi buela kukimonikisa ko va meso ma bayuda. Wubotuka kuna, wuyenda ku zunga kifikimini ayi dikanga, ku divuladibeti tedilanga Efalayimi. Wuvuanda kuna ayi minlonguki miandi.
55 Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves.
Pasika yi Bayuda yifikama batu bawombo baba mu mala bayenda ku Yeluzalemi tuamina Pasika yiba mu diambu di bakivedisa.
56 Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
Batomba Yesu. Ayi bu baba mu Nzo Nzambi bayuvasana bawu na bawu: —Buevi lumbanza e? Lummuena ti kalendi kuiza ko ku nyengo e?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.
Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bavana lutumunu muidi batu ti woso kuandi wunzaba kuidi Yesu, buna kafueti samuna muingi bankanga.
