John 11
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister—
U igun wa ba yo ni Lazaru, a lo'a hi indji u Baitanya, ni gbu ba Mariyamu ni vayi ma Marta.
2 and it was Mary who anointed the LORD with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing—
Mariyamu wa gban yen ni Bachi na se za ma ni futu ma, wa vayi Lazaru si lo'a.
3 therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You cherish is ailing”;
Imri vayi maba ton ba adu hi ni Yesu, andi, “Bachi, ya, indji wa'u son si to.”
4 and Jesus having heard, said, “This ailment is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
Wawo, na tre, “Lilo mba ni nji hi kwu na nitu gbere san rji ni ndu vren Rji ndu fe gbere san ni tu ma.”
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
Yesu ni son Marta, ni vayi ma vren wa ni Lazaru.
6 when, therefore, He heard that he is ailing, then indeed He remained in the place in which He was two days,
Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
7 then after this, He says to the disciples, “We may go to Judea again”;
Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
8 the disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just seeking to stone You, and again You go there?”
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Mala, Yahudawa bari si wa ndi ba ta ni tita, u la ni son k'ma hi ni ki?
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;
Yesu tre niba, andi inton u kpan rji ana awa wulon don ha na? Indji wa a zren ni ri, ana kubu zana, ni wa asi to kpan u gbungbulu yi.
10 and if anyone may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
Indji wa ni zren ni chu, ani kubu za nitu wa ikpan na he na.
11 He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him”;
A tre kpe biyi ni kogon biyi, a hla ni bawu, “Ikpan mbu Lazaru a si kru nna, mi si hi bubu shime lunde ni na.
12 therefore His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved”;
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that He speaks about the repose of sleep.
Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, “Lazarus has died;
U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
15 and I rejoice, for your sake (that you may believe), that I was not there; but we may go to him”;
Mi ngyiri ni tubi, niwa mina he na ni ndu kpanyeme. Biri ki hi niwu.”
16 therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to the fellow-disciples, “We may go—we also, that we may die with Him,”
Toma, wa ba yo ndi vren u hlen hen, a hla ni mburualmajere ba ndu baba hi ngame na hi kwu ni Yesu.”
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having already been four days in the tomb.
Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
18 And Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,
Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus comes, met Him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
Wa Marta wo andi Yesu ni ye, na luhi ni ndu wawu hi same wu'a u Maryamu a son zu ni miko.
21 Martha, therefore, said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother had not died;
Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
22 but even now, I have known that whatever You may ask of God, God will give to You”;
Zizan me mi to ikpe wa u bre Rji ani no'u.”
23 Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
24 Martha says to Him, “I have known that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day”;
U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I AM the resurrection, and the life; he who is believing in Me, even if he may die, will live;
Yesu hla niwu, “Ime yi mi ta shime u klekle, Ime yi mi re (iviri), indji wa a kpanyeme ni me, ani ta kwu, ani ta shime;
ni indji wa ahe ni re (iviri), na kpanyeme ni me, ana kwu na; u kpanyeme ni wa?” (aiōn g165)
27 do you believe this?” She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
U wa hla niwu, “E, Bachi, mi kpanyeme andi iwuyi u Almasihu, Vren Rji, iwa ani ye ni gbungbulu'a.
28 And having said these things, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, “The Teacher is present, and calls you”;
Ni wa a hla naki, na kma hi ni vayi ma Maryamu, na yo ti gigran, na hla, “Mala ye ri ye, na ni yo.”
29 she, when she heard, rises up quickly, and comes to Him;
Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
30 and Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him;
Yesu na ri ni vi gbu'a rina, ahe ni bubu wa Iwa ka same ni wu'a.
31 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying, “She goes away to the tomb, that she may weep there.”
Ni Yahudawa wa ba he baba Maryamu biwa ba ye chi ba ni kwu'a, bato lu rju ni miko gbagbla me, u ba lu hu, ni ban andi a rju ni bubu yi ni nyu be.
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother had not died”;
Wa a ka ri ni bubu wa Yesu he'a na ka Joku niwu ni za ma, na hla, “Bachi, una he nita, vayimuy ana kwu na.”
33 Jesus, therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled Himself, and He said,
Wa Yesu ato'u si yi, ni Yahudawa biwa ba hu'a, i wa kpere ni Ruhu na lo ni suron;
34 “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”;
iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu yi.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, “Behold, how He was cherishing him!”
U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
37 And certain of them said, “Was not this One, who opened the eyes of the blind man, also able to cause that this one might not have died?”
Ba mba ba tre, “Wawu igu yi wa a ya no indji u fyen to bubu'a, ani na ya u gu hi bubu kwu na?
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, comes to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it,
Yesu he ni mi si lo suron ni tu ma, na hi ni be'a. Ibe'a a he ni ko fron tita u ba ka he ni tita.
39 Jesus says, “Take away the stone”; the sister of him who has died—Martha—says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks, for he is four days dead”;
U Yesu tre, “Ban tita yi rju.” Marta vayi Lazaru wa a kwu a, a hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, zizan ikon kmo a gla ye niwa a ti ivi nzah ni kwu.
40 Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you may believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
41 Therefore they took away the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted His eyes upwards, and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me;
U ba ban tita rju, Yesu zun shishi na tre, “Iti, mi ngyiri niwu niwa u wo me.”
42 and I knew that You always hear Me, but because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that You sent Me.”
Mi to wa u wo me ni ton wawu, nitu son yi wa gyen klan kagon mu yi mi tre wa, ni ndu ba kpanyeme andi ahi wuyi u ton me.”
43 And saying these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
44 And he who died came forth, feet and hands being bound with grave-clothes, and his face was bound around with a napkin; Jesus says to them, “Loose him, and permit to go.”
U ndji wa a kwu'a a lu rju, u za ma ni wo ma ba he ni lilo'o ni pri, shishima he ni kika ni gbanjan nklon. Yesu hla bawu, “Bika siwu, ndu hi.”
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came to Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in Him;
Gbugbuwu ni mi Yahudawa wa ba ye ni Maryamu ba to ikpe wa Yesu ti'a u ba kpanyeme niwu.
46 but certain of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
U bari ba kma hi naka hla ni Farisawa ikpe wa Yesu a ti'a.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together [the] Sanhedrin and said, “What may we do? Because this Man does many signs?
U Firistoci bi nigon,'a ni Farisawa ba yo indji bi kpanchi'a shuti buburi, u ba tre, ageri kita?” igu yi ani ti gban bi babran.
48 If we may leave Him alone thus, all will believe in Him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.”
Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, “You have not known anything,
Naki, iri ni mi mba kayatas kena wa ndi ahi kikle Firist ni se kima, a hla bawu, “Bi na to kpe na.
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.”
Bi na mla ya a bi zan ni ndu indji riri kwu ni tu indji, ni wa indji wawu ba sutuna.”
51 And he did not say this of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
A hla ki, ana nitu ma kankrji ma na, ani tu iwa a hi kikle Firist, a to tsu ndi Yesu ni yi ni kwu ni tu ndji;
52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, He may gather together into one.
ana nitu indji kankrji na, anitu ndu ba shi imri Irji ti ni buburi biwa ba lu vra kagon.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill Him;
Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
54 Jesus, therefore, was no longer freely walking among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there He tarried with His disciples.
Rji ni ki Yesu na la ni zren ni rira ni mi Yahudawa na. Wa ala kma hi ni kalan ri whiwhre ni miji ni gburi wa ba yo Ifraimu. Ni mu a son ni almajere ma.
55 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover, that they might purify themselves;
Igan u ru gran (indji ketarewa) u Yahudawa a tewhre, gbugbu ba hi Urushalima rji ni klan meme'a hi ri ndu ivi idiri ni ndu ba kati tsatsra.
56 therefore they were seeking Jesus and said with one another, standing in the temple, “What appears to you—that He may not come to the celebration?”
U lu ri wa Yesu, na ni tre ni kpa mba niwa ba kri ni ni hekeli andi, “Angye bi ki rhimre? Ana ye ni idin na?
57 And both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone may know where He is, he may show [it], so that they may seize Him.
Kikle Firist ni Farisawa ba yo du andi ko ni zen wa ba to Yesu ba ka ye hla ni ndu ba vu.
