John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Linu mukwame zumwi yabali kusumpwa chezina lya Lazaro yabali kulwala. yaba kuzwa mwa Betenia, mumunzi mwabali kwikala Maria ni mukulwe Mareta.
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
nji Maria yaba singi Simwine mafuta esende ni kumupemula kumatende ninsuki zakwe, imi Lazaro yabali kulwala ibala nchizyakwe.
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
Linu banchizyakwe nichibatumina iñusa kwa Jesu, nibacho, “Simwine, bone, iye yosaka ahulu ulwala.”
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Linu Jesu hazuwa bulyo, nati, Uku kulwala kahena kufwa, kono bwakubonisa maata a Simwine chobulyo nimwana wa Ireeza uswanela kulumbekwa kachibatendahali.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Linu Jesu abali kusaka ahulu Mareta ni mwanchakwe ni Lazaro bulyo.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Chobulyo hazuwa kulwala kwa Lazaro, Jesu abekali mazuba amwi obele muchibaka mwabekele.
7 Then after that says he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Linu hakumana bulyo, Chowamba kuba rutwana bakwe, “Twende tuye kwa Judea hape.”
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
Barutwana chibawamba kwali, “Muruti, munako inu Majuda basaka kukugobola nimabwe, linu iwe usaka kubola kwateni hape?”
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.
Jesu nichati, kahena kuti inhola zitenda ikumi ni obele eseli mwizuba? Linu zumwi muntu hayenda musihali, keti aholofale kapa kusitatala kakuti ubwene mwahitite cha liseli lyefasi.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
Nihakuba bulyo, hayenda masiku, mwasitatale kakuli iseli kalina mwali.”
11 These things said he: and after that he says unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Nichawamba izi zintu, linu hamana izo zintu, nichabawambila, “Mulikanetu Lazaro chalala, kono nikaya ili kuti nikamubuse.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Barutwana linu chibawamba kwali, “Simwine, haiba ulele, mwabe nenza.”
13 Nevertheless Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Linu Jesu chabataluseza kuamana niifu, Chobulyo abo babali kuhupula kuti uwamba iñonzi zakulikatulusa.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Linu Jesu nichabataluseza, “Lazaru ufwile.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent all of you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Nisangite, kebaka lyenu, kuti kana nibena kwateni kokuti nimubazumini. Twende kwali.”
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Tomasi yaba kunsumpwa Didima, chawamba ku Barutwana, “Tuyende naswe tukafwe ni Jesu.”
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
Linu Jesu hakeza, neza kuwana kuti Lazaro chowina kale mwikumbu chamazuba onee.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Linu Betania ibena hembali ni Jerusalema, kazibima zotatwe.
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Bungi bwa Majuda babali kwiza kwa Mareta ni Maria, kubaombaomba kuamana ni nchinzabo.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
Linu Mareta, hazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite, nichibaka mukatanyeza, cobulyo Maria abekele munzubo.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Mareta linu chawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, kapa kobena kunu, nchizyangu nasena bafwi.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
Nangati hanu, nizi kuti chimwi nichimwi chokumbila kwa Ireeza, mwakuhe.”
23 Jesus says unto her, Your brother shall rise again.
Jesu chawamba kwali, “Nchizyako mwabuke hape.”
24 Martha says unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Mareta chawamba kwali, “Nizi kuti mwabuke hape he henzuho luzuba lwamamani mani.”
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Jesu chawamba kwali, “Njeme ni nzuho ni buhalo; yense yozumina kwangu, niha fwa, mwa hale;
chobulyo yense yohala ni kuzumina kwangu keti nafwe. Na muzumina iyi ndaba?” (aiōn g165)
27 She says unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Nichawamba kwali, “Ee, Nfumwangu, nizumina kuti njewe Kreste, mwana we Ireeza, yokezite mwi nkanda.”
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master has come, and calls for you.
Hamana kuwamba izi, chozwa mwateni nikusumpa mwanchakwe Maria kakuli ungula. chamuwambila, “Muruti chasika mi ukusumpa.”
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Linu hazuwa bulyo, chonyamuka kapili nikuya kwali.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Linu Jesu kanabeni kusika mumunzi abali kusina kuchibaka kwaba kamukatanyezi Mareta.
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 unto the grave to weep there.
Imi Majuda, babena naye mwinzubo babali kumuomba omba nibabona Maria hanyamuka kapili pili kuzwila hanze, chiba mwichilila, kuhupula kuti chokaya kwikumbu aka siliseze kwateni.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Linu Maria, hakeza kwabekele Jesu imi namubona, chowila hamatende akwe ni kumuwambila, “Simwine, kapa kobena kunu, nchinzyangu nasena abafwi,”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, (pneuma) and was troubled.
Linu Jesu chamubona nasilisa, imi ni Mujuda wakeza naye chokwete usilisa,
34 And said, Where have all of you laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
chabahinditwe muluhuho lwakwe mi abali kubilela; chawamba, “Mubamulaziki kuhi?” Niba mwitaba, “Nfumwangu, wize zo bone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu nasilisa.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Linu Majuda cibawamba, Mubone mwaba kusakila Lazaru!”
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?
Imi bamwi chibawamba, “Kanjiyena uzu mukwame, yabeyaluli menso amukwame wamuhofu, hape ibaleti kuti uzu mukwame kuti afwe?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Linu Jesu hape, nalizuwa kutomoha inkulo hape, nayenda kwikumbu. linu chibali ilindi, imi ibwe libatulitwe hateni.
39 Jesus said, Take all of you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
Jesu nati, “Muzwise hateni ibwe.” Mareta, nchinzye wa Lazaro, iye yofwile, nawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, cheinu inako chitupu chichinunka, kakuti chikwahinda mazuba onee kuzwa habafwili.”
40 Jesus says unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
Linu Jesu nati kwali, Naa kana nibakuwambili kuti, heba uzumina, mokabone mubuso wa Ireeza?”
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.
Linu chibazwisa ibwe hekumbu. Jesu nakatula menso akwe kulola kwiulu imi nati, “Tate, Nilitumela kakuti wateka kwangu.
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.
Nizi kuti utekanga kwangu inako yonse, kono niwamba bulyo kebaka lyekunga linizimbulukite kunibika mukati, ili kuti bazumine kuti ubanitumi.”
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Chobulyo nawamba buti, nahuweleza chalizwi lizuweka ahulu, “Lazaro, wize hanze!”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus says unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Mukwame yabafwile nazwa mwikumbu; matende akwe nimayanza abali kuzingeletwe masila. Jesu nawamba kubali, “Mumusumunune imi mumusiye ayende.”
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Linu bungi bwa Majuda babakezi kwa Maria imi nibabona zabatendi Jesu, niba zumina kwali,
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
kono bamwi mukati kabo chibayenda ku Bafalisi imi chibakawamba zabatendi Jesu.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
Cwale mapurita bakulwana ni Bafalisi chibakopanya inkuta hamwina imi nibawamba, “Mutupange chihi? Uzu mukwame upanga imakazo zingi.
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.
heba mutumusiye yenke sina buti, bonse mubazumine kwali; Maroma mubatunyange minzi yetu yonse ni nkanda yetu.”
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, All of you know nothing at all,
Nihakuba bulyo, zumwi mukwame mukati kabo, Kayafa, yabali muprisita mukulwana mwecho chilimo, nati kubali, “Kakwina chimwizi.
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Kamubwene kuti kulotu nibutuka kuti mukwame yenke afwile chichaba kundeye kuti inkanda yonse imaniswe.”
51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Lyahanu izi zawamba kazizwi kwali mwine. kono, kakuti abali muprisita mukulwana icho chilimo, aba polofiti kuti Jesu mwafwile inkanda;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
kono isini inkanda bulyo imi kono kuti bana ba Ireeza bahasene bekale hamwina kalusika lonke.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together in order to put him to death.
Linu kuzwa ulo luzuba niba zuminzana mwete behaile Jesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Kelyo ibaka Jesu nasiya kuyenda mukati ka Majuda nibamubwene, imi chozwa mweyo inkanda nikuya mwihalaupa mumuleneñi wa Efraimi. Uko abakekali ni barutwana.
55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Lyahanu i Paseka ya Majuda chibena hafuhi, imi bungi bwabo nibaya mwa Jerusalema kuzwa mwinkanda i Paseka niseni kusika kuti bakalijoloze abo bene.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think all of you, that he will not come to the feast?
Babali kukabulola Jesu, imi nibena mwi Tempele nibakwete balibuza buza, “Muhupula bule? Na sanzi akezi kumukiti?”
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.
Linu muprisita mukulwana ni Bafalisi niba hewa mulao kuti haiba kwina yowizi kwena Jesu, uswanela kuwamba ili kuti bamukwate.
