John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Ɔbarima bi tenaa ase wɔ Betania a na wɔfrɛ no Lasaro. Betania yi yɛ kurow a na Maria ne ne nua Marta fi mu. Da bi, saa ɔbarima yi yaree.
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Saa Maria yi a ne nuabarima ne Lasaro a na ɔyare no na ohwiee ngo guu Awurade nan ase de ne tinwi pepae no.
3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
Anuanom yi soma kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, wo dɔfo no yare.”
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Yesu tee nkra no ɔkae se, “Ɛnyɛ saa ɔyare yi na ebekum Lasaro. Mmom Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɔyare yi so hyɛ ne ho anuonyam, na saa anuonyam yi bi nso ka Onipa Ba no.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Na Yesu pɛ Maria ne ne nuabea Marta ne Lasaro asɛm yiye.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he stayed two days still in the same place where he was.
Bere a Yesu tee nkra sɛ Lasaro yare denneennen no wankɔ saa bere no ara mu; ɔtenaa hɔ nnaanu.
7 Then after that says he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Momma yɛnsan nkɔ Yudea.”
8 His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
Nanso asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ɛnkyɛe biara na Yudafo no pɛɛ sɛ wosiw wo abo na afei wuse yɛnsan nkɔ hɔ bio yi?”
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
Yesu kae se, “Nnɔnhwerew dumien na ɛwɔ da koro mu, meboa ana? Ɛno nti sɛ obi nam hann mu a ɔrenhintiw, efisɛ ɔnam wiase hann mu.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
Nanso sɛ ɔnam anadwo sum mu a obehintiw, efisɛ ɔnam sum mu.”
11 These things said he: and after that he says to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Yesu san kae se, “Yɛn adamfo Lasaro ada na merekɔ akonyan no.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, sɛ wada de a ɛno de, na ne ho bɛtɔ no.”
13 However, Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Na Yesu kyerɛ sɛ Lasaro awu nanso asuafo no de, na wosusuw sɛ nna ara na wada.
14 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Ɛno nti Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn pefee se, “Lasaro awu;
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go to him.
nanso mo nti ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ na minni hɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubegye adi. Momma yɛnkɔ ne nkyɛn.”
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Toma a wɔfrɛ no Ata no ka kyerɛɛ ne mfɛfo asuafo no se, “Momma yɛne Kyerɛkyerɛfo no nyinaa nkɔ na yɛne no nkowu.”
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
Yesu duu Betania no na Lasaro awu ama wɔasie no ma adi nnaanan.
18 Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Efi Betania rekɔ Yerusalem no nnu akwansin abien,
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
na saa bere no na Yudafo bebree aba Marta ne Maria nkyɛn sɛ wɔrebegyam wɔn wɔ wɔn nua no wu no ho.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
Marta tee sɛ Yesu reba no, ofii adi kohyiaa no, na Maria de, ɔtenaa fie.
21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Marta ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Ao, Awurade, sɛ wowɔ ha a anka me nua no anwu!
22 But I know, that even now, whatever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
Minim mpo sɛ saa bere yi mu biribiara a wubebisa Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnyɛ mma wo no ɔbɛyɛ.”
23 Jesus says to her, Your brother shall rise again.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo nua no bɛsan anya nkwa bio.”
24 Martha says to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Marta buaa no se, “Awurade, minim sɛ owusɔre da no ɔno nso bɛsɔre.”
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me na minyan awufo ma wɔn nkwa. Obiara a ogye me di no sɛ wawu mpo a ɔbɛsan anya nkwa.
Na obiara a ɔte ase na ogye me di no renwu da. Wugye eyi di ana?” (aiōn g165)
27 She says to him, Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Marta buae se, “Awurade, migye midi. Migye di sɛ wone Kristo Agyenkwa a ɔne Onyankopɔn Ba a ɔreba wiase no.”
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calls for you.
Marta kaa saa asɛm yi wiee no, ɔkɔfrɛɛ ne nua Maria de no kɔɔ kokoa mu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo no aba na wabisa wo ase.”
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him.
Maria tee saa asɛm yi no ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kohyiaa Yesu.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Saa bere no na Yesu mmeduu akuraa no ase hɔ ɛ. Na ɔda so wɔ faako a Marta hyiaa no hɔ no.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the grave to weep there.
Bere a Yudafo a wɔne Maria wɔ fie hɔ regyam no no huu sɛ wasɔre mpofirim refi adi no wodii nʼakyi, efisɛ na wosusuw sɛ ɔrekɔ da no so akosu.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Maria duu faako a Yesu wɔ no, ɔkotow ne nan ase kae se, “Ao Awurade, sɛ wowɔ ha a anka me nua no anwu.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
Yesu huu sɛ Maria ne Yudafo a wɔka ne ho no resu no, ɛhaw no yiye na ne werɛ howee.
34 And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.
Obisaa wɔn se, “Ɛhe na musiee no?” Wobuaa no se, “Awurade, bra na yɛnkɔkyerɛ wo.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu sui.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Yudafo no huu sɛ ɔresu no wɔkae se, “Eyi kyerɛ ɔdɔ a ɔde dɔ no.”
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Wɔn mu bi kae se, “Onipa a ɔmaa onifuraefo huu ade no munnnye nni sɛ anka obetumi agye Lasaro nkwa ana?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it.
Asɛm a nkurɔfo no kaa no maa Yesu werɛ howee. Afei ɔkɔɔ ɔda a wɔde ɔbo ahini ano no so.
39 Jesus says, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
Yesu hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Munyi ɔbo a ehini ɔda no ano no.” Marta a ɔyɛ owufo no nuabea no kae se, “Awurade, ɛbɛyɛ nnaanan ni a wosiee no nti saa bere yi de, ɔbɔn.”
40 Jesus says to her, Said I not to you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Marta se, “Manka ankyerɛ wo se sɛ wugye di a wubehu Onyankopɔn anuonyam?”
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
Woyii ɔbo no fii ɔda no ano. Afei Yesu hwɛɛ ɔsoro, bɔɔ mpae se, “Agya, meda wo ase sɛ wutie me.
42 And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
Minim sɛ wutie me daa nyinaa nanso esiane nnipa a wɔwɔ ha nti na mereka eyi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobegye adi sɛ wo na wosomaa me.”
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Ɔkaa eyi wiee no, ɔteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Lasaro, sɔre bra!”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him go.
Lasaro sɔre bae a ntama a wɔde kyekyeree ne nsa ne ne nan ne nʼanim no da so kyekyere no. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monsan ne ho ntama no na ɔnkɔ.”
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Yudafo a wɔbɛsraa Maria na wohuu nea Yesu yɛe no mu bebree gyee no dii.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Na wɔn mu bi nso kɔɔ Farisifo no hɔ kɔkaa nea esii no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
Enti Farisifo no ne asɔfo mpanyin no hyiaa baguafo no kae se, “Dɛn na yɛreyɛ? Monhwɛ anwonwade a saa onipa yi reyɛ!
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
Sɛ yɛma ɔkɔ so yɛ nea ɔreyɛ yi a, nnipa nyinaa begye no adi na wɔadi nʼakyi. Sɛ ɛba saa a Roma aban bebisa yɛn asɛm na wasɛe yɛn asɔredan ne ɔman mu yi nyinaa.”
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, You know nothing at all,
Kaiafa a saa bere no na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfopanyin no kae se, “Mo de munnim hwee!
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Munnim sɛ eye ma mo sɛ onipa baako bewu ama nnipa no nyinaa sen sɛ wɔbɛsɛe ɔman mu no nyinaa?”
51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Emfi ɔno ankasa ne tumi mu na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ esiane sɛ na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfopanyin saa bere no nti na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm se, “Yesu bewu de agye mo nkwa,”
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
na ɛnyɛ wɔn nko, na mmom ɛnam eyi so bɛma Onyankopɔn mma a wɔabɔ ahwete no nyinaa ano aboa na wɔayɛ ɔman baako.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Efi saa bere no, Yudafo mpanyin no faa adwene sɛ wobekum Yesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Eyi nti Yesu anyi ne ho adi wɔ Yudea, na ofii hɔ kɔɔ sare so kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Efraim ne nʼasuafo no kɔtenaa hɔ.
55 And the Jews’ passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Na Yudafo Twam Afahyɛ no rebɛn nti nnipa pii fii wɔn nkuraa kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekodwira wɔn ho de atwɛn afahyɛ no.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
Na wɔrehwehwɛ Yesu ahu no. Ɛno nti woduu asɔredan mu hɔ no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Mugye di sɛ Yesu bɛba afahyɛ yi bi ana?” Ebinom kae se, “Yennye nni.”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
Saa bere yi na asɔfo mpanyin ne Farisifo no ahyɛ sɛ, sɛ obi nim faako a Yesu wɔ a, ɔnkyerɛ na wɔnkɔkyere no.
