John 12
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
Mazuba musanu alimwi, kakutanayinda Pasika Jesu wakasika Betani, aawo aakali Lazalasi, ooyo Jesu ngwakabusya kuzwa kubafu.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
Aabobo bakamubambila chilalilo nkuko, aMata wakali kubapa. Pesi lazalasi wakali umwi wababo wakalede munsi atafula kali aJesu.
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Kuzwawo Mariya wakabweza kankuli kamafuta mabotu kwindilila, wakananika Jesu kumawulu angawo akupukuta kumawulu amasusu aakwe. Ngaanda yakazula bweema bubotu bwamafuta.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s [son], which should betray him,
Juda Sikaliyoti, umwi wabasikwiya bakwe oyo sikumuzya, wakati,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
“Nkambonzi mafuta aaya natakuzigwa amiyanda yotatwe akupegwa kubafwaba?”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
Wakamba ezi nkaambo takalikulangisisya kubafwaba, pesi nkaambo wakal, mubbi. Wakali ankomo yamali akukkonzya kubba zyakabikidwe mukati.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
Jesu wakati, “Amumuzumizye kubaamba ezyo nzyalazyo kuzuba lyakuvwikwa kwangu.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
Munoli aabo bafwaba kwalyoonse. Pesi tamukoyoba andime lyoonse.”
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Lino nkamu mpati yamaJuda yakaziba kuti Jesu mpali, mpo bakasika kabatazidi Jesu alike pe, akuzobona Lazalasi, ooyo Jesu ngwakabusya kuzwa kubafu.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Ibapayizi bapati bakakkankayizya antomwe kuti bakonzye kujaya Lazalasi;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
nkaambo kanguwe kuti MaJuda biingi bakeenda akusyoma kuliJesu.
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Izuba litobela inkamu mpati yakasika kupobwe nibakamvwa kuti Jesu ulasika kuJelusalemu.
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Bakabweeza mitabi yatukunka akwinka kuyoswananaawe akompolola kuti, wosana ulilongezegelwe, ooyo usika muzina lyaMwami, waIzilayeli.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Jesu wakajana kambongolo kanini wakkala alinkako; mbuli mbukwakalembedwe.
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
“Mutayowi nobana basimbi baZiyoni, amubone Mwami wanu ulaz, kakkede amusana wambongolo.”
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto him.
Basikwiya bakwe tebakamvwisisya pe kuzintu eezi kumatalikilo, pesi, aawo Jesu nakalemekezegwa bakayeya kuti eezi zintu zyakalembedwe ataala anguwe akuti bakachita zintu eezi kulinguwe.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
Lino nkamu yakazuzikizigwa kuti bakali anguwe nakayita Lazalasi kuzwa muchumbwe akumubusya kuzwa kubafu.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
Chakali nchicho chizato kuti inkamu inkamu yakaya kuyoswanana nkambo bakamvwa kuti wakachita chitondezyo.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
Bafalisi mpawawo bakati lwabo lwabo, “Bona takwe nchokonzya kuchita: laang, nyika yinka kunembo aatala aakwe.”
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
Lino bamwi baGiliki bakali mulibaabo bakalikuya kukomba kupobwe.
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
Aabo bakaya kuliFilipo, oyoowakazwa KuBbetisyaida mu Galili mpo wakakumbila wati, “Mwalumi tuyanda kubona Jesu.”
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Filipo wakeenda akuyobuzya Andulo, Andulo wakeenda aFilipo, mpo wakabuzya Jesu.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Jesu wakabasandula mpo wati, chindi chasika chamwana amuntu, kuti alemekezegwe.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Nchobeni, nchobeni ndamwambila anukut, imbuto yabbale yakawida munyika mpo yafwa, iyosyala lwayo ayilike, pesi kuti yafwa, ilazyaala michelo myiingi.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ooo uyandisya buumi bwakwe takoyobujana, pesi utayandisyi buumi bwakwe kulizyanyika eeyi uyobamba buumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour.
Kuti umwi undigwasya, akunditobela, ooko nkumbede, ooko nkokuko mulanda wangu nkwabede. Oyoo undimanina milimo, Taata uyakumulemeka.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Lino muuya wangu wapengeleka. Mpo ngambeenzii? “
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again.
Taata, lemekezya zina lyako.” Aboobo ijwi lyakazwa kujulu kaliti, “Ndachilemekezya mpo nzochilemekezya lubo.”
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard [it], said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
Aabobo nkamu yakayimvwi kumbali niyakamumvwa yakamba kuti kwakamvwika muzuzumo. Bamwi bakamba kuti mungelo ulawambula anguwe.”
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
Jesu wakasandula wati, “Eeli jwi telyazida ndime pesi lyazida ndinywe.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Lino ndolu lubeta lwanyika eeyi: Lino muzululi wanyika eeyi uzosowelwa aanze.”
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.
Aawo mpunjonyampulwa kuzwa munyika, ndiyoyobolola bantu boonse kulindime.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
Wakamba bobu kutondezya lufu lwakwe mbolunobede.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Makamu akamusandula, “Twakamvwa kuzwa kumulawu kuti Kkilisito uzokkala ikutamani. Wamba buyeni ikuti, ' Mwana Muntu uyelede kusumpulwa? Nguli ooyo Mwana Muntu? (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Jesu wakabambila kuti, “Mumuni unolandinywe kwachindi chifwifwi. Mwende nimuchili mumun, ikuti mudima tukamuvumbi. Ooyo wenda mumudima taazi ooko nkwaaya.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Nimuchilamumuni, amusyome mumumuni kuchitila kuti mube bana bamumuni.” Jesu wakaamba zintu eezi aboobo wakamba zintu eezi wakeenda akulisisa mulimbabo.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Nikuba kuti Jesu wakachita zitondezyo zyiingi kuli mbaabo, pele takwe nibakasyoma mulinguwe.
38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Kuti ijwi Ayizaya musinsimi lizuzikizigwe, muli zyakamba: “Mwami, ooyo wakasyoma kwaamba kwesu, akuli oyoo luboko lwaMwami nkulyakayubunizidwa?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
Nkaambo kayaaya tebakayosyom, mbuli Ayizaya akakwe mwamba,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with [their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
“Wakofwazigwa meso aabo, akuyumya myoyo yabo, muliyimwi nzila bazobona ameso aabo akumvwisisya amyoyo yabo, akusanduka alimwi njobaponia”.
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Ayizaya wakaamba eezi zintu nkaambo wakabona bulemu bwajesu akwambula aatala anguwe.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Pesi nikuba boob, akube kuti bazulwidi basyome muliJesu; pesi nkaambo kabaFalisi, tebakakumbila kulekelelwa pe kuti bataka kasigwi kuya kuchikombelo.
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Bakayanda bulemu bwakazwa kubantu kwiinda bulemu bwakazwa kuliLeza.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
Jesu wakompolola wati, “Ooyo usyoma mulindime tasyomi biyo mulindime, Pesi akuliwoyo wakandituma,
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
aawoyo wabona ndime wabona nguwe ooyo wakatuma ndime.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Ndasika mbuli mumuni munyika, kuti ooyo usyoma mulindime takasyali mumudima.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Kuti wamvwa majwi aangu, pesi katabambide, simubeteki pe, tee ndaza kuzotonga nyika, pesi kufutula nyika.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Ooyo undikaka akutatambula majwi aangu, ulasikumubeteka. Ijwi ndindambula liyomubeteka kuzuba lyamamanino.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Nkambo nsilyambwidi pe, pesi nguTaata wandituma, ooyo wapa ndime chelelo chakwaamb, azyakwamba.
