John 11
1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Kwaiva neumwe wairwara, wainzi Razaro weBhetaniya, mumusha waMaria nemukoma wake Marita.
2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Waiva iye Maria wakazodza Ishe nemafuta, akapusika tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake, hanzvadzi yake Razaro wakange achirwara.
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Naizvozvo hanzvadzi dzakatumira kwaari dzichiti: Ishe, tarirai uyo wamunoda anorwara.
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.
Jesu wakati anzwa akati: Ukosha uhu hahusviki murufu, asi ndehwembiri yaMwari, kuti Mwanakomana waMwari arumbidzwe nahwo.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Zvino Jesu wakange achida Marita nemunin'ina wake naRazaro.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Naizvozvo wakati anzwa kuti anorwara, ipapo akagara mazuva maviri panzvimbo paakange ari.
7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
Shure kweizvozvo wakati kuvadzidzi: Hendeizve kuJudhiya.
8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Vadzidzi vakati kwaari: Rabhi, VaJudha vachangobva kutsvaka kukutakai nemabwe; zvino moendazve ikoko here?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Jesu akapindura akati: Hapana maawa gumi nemaviri masikati here? Kana munhu achifamba masikati, haagumburwi, nokuti anoona chiedza chenyika ino.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Asi kana munhu achifamba usiku, anogumburwa, nokuti hamuna chiedza maari.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Wakataura zvinhu izvi, shure kweizvozvo ndokuti kwavari: Shamwari yedu Razaro yarara; asi ndinoenda kuti ndimumutse.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Naizvozvo vadzidzi vake vakati: Ishe, kana arere, achanaya.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Asi Jesu wakareva zverufu rwake; asi ivo vakafunga kuti anoreva kuzorora kwehope.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Naizvozvo ipapo Jesu akavaudza pachena: Razaro wafa.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Zvino ndinofara nekuda kwenyu kuti ndakange ndisipo, kuti mugotenda; asi hendei kwaari.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Naizvozvo Tomasi, wainzi Dhidhimo, wakati kuvadzidzi pamwe naye: Hendei isuwo kuti tinofa naye.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already.
Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika, akawana atova muguva mazuva mana.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Zvino Bhetaniya rakange riri pedo neJerusarema, masitadhiya anenge gumi nemashanu kubva ipapo;
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
nevazhinji veVaJudha vakange vauya kuna Marita naMaria, kuti vavanyaradze pamusoro pehanzvadzi yavo.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.
Zvino Marita wakati anzwa kuti Jesu wouya, akaenda kunomuchingamidza; asi Maria wakagara mumba.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Marita ndokuti kuna Jesu: Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
Asi naikozvino ndinoziva kuti zvipi zvazvo zvamunokumbira kuna Mwari, Mwari achakupai.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Jesu akati kwaari: Hanzvadzi yako ichamukazve.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Marita akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka nezuva rekupedzisira.
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:
Jesu akati kwaari: Ndini kumuka neupenyu; anotenda kwandiri, kunyange akafa, achararama;
uye umwe neumwe anorarama uye anotenda kwandiri, haangatongofi nekusingaperi. Unotenda izvi here? (aiōn g165)
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe; ini ndinotenda kuti ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, waizouya panyika.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Zvino wakati areva izvi akaenda, akanodana Maria munin'ina wake pachivande, akati: Mudzidzisi wasvika, anokudana.
29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Iye wakati achingozvinzwa, akakurumidza kusimuka akaenda kwaari.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Zvino Jesu wakange asati asvika pamusha, asi wakange achiri panzvimbo Marita paakamuchingamidza.
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 goeth unto the grave to weep there.
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakange vanaye mumba vachimunyaradza, vakati vachiona Maria kuti wakasimuka nekukurumidza achibuda, vakamutevera vachiti: Anoenda kuguva kuti acheme ikoko.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Zvino Maria, wakati achisvika pakange pana Jesu, achimuona, akawira patsoka dzake, achiti kwaari: Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati achimuona achichema, VaJudhawo vachichema vakange vauya naye, akagomera mumweya, akazvitambudza,
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
akati: Mamuradzikepi? Vakati kwaari: Ishe, uyai muone.
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu akachema misodzi.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Zvino VaJudha vakati: Tarirai kuti waimuda sei.
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?
Asi vamwe vavo vakati: Uyu wakasvinudza meso ebofu, haagoni kuita here kuti uyuwo asafa?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakagomerazve mukati make asvika paguva. Zvino raiva bako, nebwe rakange rakaradzikwa pamusoro paro.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.
Jesu akati: Bvisai ibwe. Marita hanzvadzi yewakafa akati kwaari: Ishe, wotonhuhwa; nokuti ane mazuva mana.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Jesu akati kwaari: Handina kutaura here kwauri, kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?
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 thee that thou hast heard me.
Naizvozvo vakabvisa ibwe, pakange paradzikwa wakafa. Jesu ndokusimudzira meso kumusoro, ndokuti: Baba, ndinokuvongai nokuti mandinzwa.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Asi ini ndanga ndichiziva kuti munondinzwa nguva dzese; asi nekuda kwechaunga chakakomberedza ndareva, kuti vatende kuti imwi makandituma.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Zvino wakati areva izvozvi, akadanidzira nenzwi guru, akati: Razaro, buda!
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Uyo wakange afa ndokubuda, akasungwa makumbo nemaoko nemicheka yeguva, nechiso chake chakapombwa nemucheka wekumeso. Jesu akati kwavari: Musunungurei, mumurege aende.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Naizvozvo vazhinji veVaJudha, vakange vauya kuna Maria vakati vaona Jesu zvaakaita, vakatenda kwaari.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Asi vamwe vavo vakaenda kuVaFarisi, ndokuvaudza zvinhu Jesu zvaakange aita.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
Naizvozvo vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakaunganidza dare remakurukota, vakati: Todini? Nokuti uyu munhu anoita zviratidzo zvizhinji.
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.
Kana tikamurega akadaro, vese vachatenda kwaari; neVaRoma vachauya vakatora zviri zviviri nzvimbo nerudzi rwedu.
49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Asi umwe wavo, Kayafasi, wakange ari mupristi mukuru gore iroro, akati kwavari: Hamuzivi chinhu imwi,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
uye hamurangariri kuti zvakatinakira kuti munhu umwe afire vanhu, uye rudzi rwese rurege kuparara.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Asi haana kureva izvi pachake, asi zvaakange ari mupristi mukuru gore iro, wakaporofita kuti Jesu waizofira rudzi urwo,
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
uye kwete rudzi urwo rwega, asi kutiwo aunganidze vana vaMwari vakapararira vave umwe.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Zvino kubva pazuva iro vakarangana kuti vamuuraye.
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.
Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzombofamba pachena pakati peVaJudha, asi wakabvapo akaenda kunyika iri pedo nerenje, kuguta rainzi Efuremu, ndokugarako nevadzidzi vake.
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.
Zvino pasika yeVaJudha yakange yaswedera; vazhinji ndokubuda mumaruwa vakakwira kuJerusarema pasika isati yasvika, kuti vazvichenure.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
Naizvozvo vakatsvaka Jesu, vakataurirana vamire mutembere, vachiti: Munofungei? Kuti haangatongouyi kumutambo here?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew [it], that they might take him.
Zvino vese vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakange vapa murairo kuti kana kune anoziva kwaari, azivise, kuti vamubate.
