John 11
1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Kwe alyale umuunhu jumonga akatambulwagha Lasali. Umwene palikimo na valumbu, uMaliya nu Malita vakikalagha mukikaaja ikya Betania. Umuunu uju alyale ntamu.
2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
UMaliya ujuo ghwe juno alyampakile u UMaliya ujuo, ulumbu ghwa Lasali juno alyale ntamu, ghwe juno alyampakile amafuta uMutwa uYesu mumaghulu, na kukumpulusia ni linyele lyake.
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Avalumbu avuo vakasuung'ha imhola kwa Yesu kuuti, Mutwa umanyani ghwako uLasali ntamu.”
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.
UYesu ye apuliike imola ijio akati, “Inhamu ijio najikum'buda, looli jimwaghile kuuti avaanhu vavuvone uvuvaha vwa Nguluve, neke uMwana ghwa Nguluve aghinisivu kukilila inhamu ijio.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
UYesu alyamughanile uLasali palikimo na valumbu uMalita nu Maliya.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Neke ye apuliike kiuuti uLasali ntamu, umwene akajigho ifighono fivi ikalile kukuo.
7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
Pambele akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Tuvuuke tugomoke kukighavo ikya Yudea.”
8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Avavulanisivu vakambuula vakati, “Ghwe mbulanisi, imihe pahapa aVayahudi valondagha pikukutova na mavue, uve ghulonda kange pigomoka ukuo?”
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.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Asi, imwisi najili ni fivalilo kijigho na fivili? Umuunhu angaghende pamwisi, naangakuvale ulwakuva ulumuli lukumulikila, ikufyagha fyoni.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Neke angaghende pakilo ikuvala, ulwakuva nsila lumulinkate mwa mwene.”
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.
UYesu ye amalile kujova isio, akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Ummanyaani ghwitu uLasali aghonelile, neke niluta kuuti ninsisimule.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Pe avavulanisivua vaake vakambuula vakati, “Ghwe Mutwa, nave aghonelile, isisimuka.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
UYesu alyale ijova imhola ija kufua kwa Lasali, neke avavulanisivua vaake valyale visaagha kuuti ijova imhola ija kughonelela itulo.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Pe uYesu akavavuula pa vuvalafu akati, “ULasali afwile.”
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.
Neke une nihovoka vwimila umue ulwakuva nakweniveele kula uLasali ye ifua, kuuti umue munyitikaghe. Lino tuvuuke kwa Lasali.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Pe uTomasi juno itambulua, “Mung'hungu” akavavuula avavulanisivua avajaake akati, “Najusue tuvuuke, tulute tufue palikimo nu Yesu.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already.
Unsiki uYesu ye ifika mu kikaaja ikya Betania, akavona uLasali ali ni fighono fine mu mbiipa.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Ikikaaja ikya Betania kilyale piipi ni likaaja ilya Yelusalemu ikilomita itatu ndiiki.
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Avaanhu vinga mu Vayahudi vakiisa kukuvahungila uMalita nu Maliya, ulwakuva valyafwile nu lumbu.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.
Pepano uMalita akapulika kuuti uYesu afiike, akaluta kukumwupilila neke uMaliya akajigha mu nyumba.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Pe uMalita akam'buula uYesu akati, “Mutwa, pe usava, ulumbulyango ngale naafwile.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
Neke nambe lino nikagwile kuuti ungansuume uNguluve kimonga, ikukupeela.”
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
UYesu akam'buula akati, “Ulumbulio isyuka.”
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
UMalita akati, “Nikagwile kuuti ilisyuka ikighono ikya vusililo kino avaanhu vooni vilisyuka.”
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:
UYesu akambuula akati, “Une nene nikuvasyusia avaanhu na kukuvapeela uvwumi. Juno ikunyitika une, nambe afue iiva mwumi;
ghwope umwumi, juno ikunyitika une, naangafue. Ghukwitika isio?” (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.
UMalita akamwamula akati, “Eene Mutwa, nikwitika kuuti uve veeve Kilisite, Mwana ghwa Nguluve, juno veeve Twahulagha kuuti ghulikwisa mu iisi.”
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.
UMalita ye ajovile isio, akaluta kukunkemeela unnuuna maliamu uMaliya akam'buula kuvuseyfu akati, “Um'bulanisi isile, ikukukemeela.” Pe uMaliya.
29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Umaliamu ye apulike isio, akavuuka ng'haaing'haani na kuluta kwa Yesu.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Unsiki ughuo uYesu alyakyale kukwingila mu kikaaja ikio, alyale pala pala pano uMalita akalutile kukumwambilila.
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.
Pepano aVayahudi vano valyale munyumba nu Maliamu palikimo na vaanhu vano vakalutile kukuvahungilila, ye vamwaghile ivuuka ng'haning'haani ihuma kunji, vakam'bingilila ulwakuva vakava visaagha kuuti iluta kulila kumbiipa.
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.
Pepano uMaliamu akafika pa Yesu, akafughama, akambuula akati, “Mutwa, peusava ulumbu lyango ngale naafwile.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
UYesu ye avwene ililia, vope vano vakaale vikum'bingilila vilila, akalemala na kupumuka mu mwojo ghwake;
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
akajova akati, “Mumughonisie kughi?” Vakamwamula vakati, “Ghwe Mutwa, ghwise ulole.”
35 Jesus wept.
UYesu akalila.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Pepano avaYahudi vakajova vakati, “Lolagha vule akamughanile uLasalI!”
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?
Neke vamonga vakati, “Asi, uju naghwe juno akansosisie um'bofu amaaso, lino kiki naavombile kimonga kwa Lasali kuuti aleke pifua?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Pepano uYesu ye ajiighe ipumuka mu mwojo ghwake, akafika pa mbiipa. Imbiipa ijio, jilyabughulilue na kudindua ni livue ilikome.
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.
UYesu akavavuula akati, “Vusia ilivue ilio. “UMalita ulumbu ghwa Lasali umfue, akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, umbili ghuuva ghuvolile, ulwakuva fikilile ifighono fine kuhuma ifua.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
UYesu akambuula akati, “Naniveele nikuvulile kuuti ungitike, ghukuvuvona uvuvaha vwa Nguluve?”
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.
Pe vakavusia ilivue lila. UYesu akalola kukyanya akati, “Ghwe Nhata, nikukuhongesia ulwakuva ghupulika inyifunyo sango.
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.
Nikagwile kuuti ghukumulika ifighono fyoni, neke nijova isi vwimila ilipugha lya vaanhu ava, neke viyike kuuti uve veeve usung'hile.”
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
UYesu ye ajovile isio, akalila fiijo akati, “Lasali huma kunji kuno!”
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.
Pe umfue, akuhuma kunji, amaghulu na mavoko ghaake ghaniengelilue ni sanda, kumaaso apinyilue ni kitambala. UYesu akavavuula akati, “Mumhudule, mumuleke alutaghe.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Pepano aVayahudi vinga vano vakisile kukumhungila uMaliamu, ye vasivwene sino avombile uYesu, vakamwitika;
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
neke vamo mu veene vakaluta ku Vafalisayi kukuvavuula sino avombile uYesu.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
Pe avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi vakakong'haana, vakaposania vakati, “Tuvombe kiki? Ulwakuva umuunhu uju ivomba ifidegho finga.
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.
Nave tukumuleka anala mwene, avaanhu vooni kyande vikumwitika, aValooma vikwisa vitoola fyoni poope palyusue na ji iisi jiitu.
49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Pe umo muveene, juno akatambulwagha Kayafa, alyale ghwe ntekesi um'baha umwaka ughuo, akavavuula akati, “Umue namukagwile kimonga!
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Namusaagha kuuti vwimila umue, lunoghiile umuunhu jumo afue vwimila avaanhu vooni, neke iisi jooni jileke kutipulua.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Amasio gha ntekesi ujuo naghaale masaaghe ghaake. Ulweene ulwakuva alyale ntekesi m'baha umwaka ughuo, alyaviile kuuti uYesu ifua vwima iisi;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
nakwekuti ifua vwimila iisi jeene, looli u Yesu palikimo na kukuvakong'hania avaana va Nguluve vano vapalasiine neke vaave palikimo.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Kuhuma ikighono ikio, avalongosi va Vayahudi, vakatengula kulonda isila ija kum'buda uYesu.
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.
Mu uluo, uYesu akaleka kughenda pa vuvalafu ku Vayahudi. Pepano akavuuka pala akaluta ku kikaaja kimonga kino kikatambuluagha. Efulahimu. Ikikaaja ikio kilyale piipi ni lihaka, akikala ukuo palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake.
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.
Ikyimike ikya Pasaka ija Vayahudi kilyale piipi. Avaanhu vinga kuhuma mu fikaaja vakaluta ku Yelusalemu kuuti vivalasie ye kikyale pifika ikyimike ikio.
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?
Pe vakava vikumulonda uYesu. Ye vali mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, vakiima viposania viiti, “Mwiti ndaani, umuunhu uju, neke naikwesa ku kyimike?”
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.
Unsiki ughu, avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi valyavavuulile avaanhu kuuti, umuunhu ghweni angakagule pano pwale u Yesu, alutaghe kukuvavuula neke vankole.
