John 11
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister—
muntu walikukwiweti Lazaro, walakolwa, walikwikala mumunshi waBetaniya, kucomwabo Maliya ne Malita.
2 and it was Mary who anointed the LORD with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing—
Uyu Maliya endiye usa walananika mafuta anunkila kumyendo yaMwami nekumupukutisha mishishi yakendi. Lazaro walikuba mukwabo Maliya Lazalo ewalikukolwa.
3 therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You cherish is ailing”;
Lino bamakwabo batukashi balatuma mulumbe kuli Yesu kumwambileti, “Mwami, munenu ngomusuni nimulwashi.”
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.”
Yesu mpalanyumfwa walambeti, “Kukolwa uko nteshi kumushine Lazalo sobwe, nsombi cilenshiki kwambeti Lesa alemekwe, kayi kwambeti Mwanendi Lesa apewe bulemu.”
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
Yesu walikusuna Malita nekanike wakendi, kayi neLazalo.
6 when, therefore, He heard that he is ailing, then indeed He remained in the place in which He was two days,
Nomba mpalanyumfwa shamalwashi, Yesu walekala masuba abili pamusena popelapo mpwalikuba.
7 then after this, He says to the disciples, “We may go to Judea again”;
Panyuma pakendi walambila beshikwiya bakendi, “katuyani kuYudeya.”
8 the disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just seeking to stone You, and again You go there?”
Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Mwiyi, lino apa bamakulene baBayuda nkabayanda kumupwaya mabwe, Inga nicani mulayandanga kubwelelako?”
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 walambeti, “Sena busuba ntebukute mifunshya yacindi likumi ne ibili? Muntu nalendenga mu mumuni nkela kulisuntula pakwinga ukute kubona mumuni wacishici.
10 and if anyone may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
Nsombi nalendenga mashiku empwela kulisuntula, pakwinga nkalendenga mu mumuni.”
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”;
Mpwalambeco walabambileti, “Lazalo, munetu lono tulo, nsombi ndenga akumupundusha kutulo.”
12 therefore His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved”;
Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Mwami, nawona tulo, nabe cena.”
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that He speaks about the repose of sleep.
Balo balikuyeyeti walikwamba shatulowa, nsombi Yesu walikwambeti Lazalo wafwa.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, “Lazarus has died;
Lino Yesu walabambila mwakutasoleketi, “Lazalo lafu,
15 and I rejoice, for your sake (that you may believe), that I was not there; but we may go to him”;
Nkandabangonga, nsombi ndakondwa cebo canjamwe kwambeti mushome. Katuyani.”
16 therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to the fellow-disciples, “We may go—we also, that we may die with Him,”
Popelapo Tomasi, walikukwiweti mpundu, walambila beshikwiya banendi, “Katuyani nendi tuyetufwile pamo.”
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having already been four days in the tomb.
Yesu mpwalashika kuBetaniya walacaneti Lazalo wabikwa kendi mumanda masuba ana alapiti.
18 And Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,
Munshi waBetaniya walikuba pepi neku Yelusalemu, musuma wakwanowa makilomita atatu.
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
Ecebo cakendi kwalikuba bantu bangi balesa kuli Malita ne Maliya kwisakubatontosha pacebo ca lufu lwa Lazalo mukwabo.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus comes, met Him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
Malita mpwalanyumfeti Yesu lesanga, walayakumucinsha. Nomba Maliya walashala munga'nda.
21 Martha, therefore, said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother had not died;
Lino Malita walambila Yesu, “Mwami, nemwanga kuno mukwetu Lazalo naliya kufwa.
22 but even now, I have known that whatever You may ask of God, God will give to You”;
Nsombi nambi lino ndicinsheti Lesa namupeni ciliconse ncomwela kumumusenga.”
23 Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Yesu walamwambileti, “Mukwenu napunduke.”
24 Martha says to Him, “I have known that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day”;
Malita walambeti, “Ndicinsheti nakapunduke pa busuba bwakupwililisha bantu bonse bakapundukanga.”
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 walamwambileti, “weshikupundusha bantu kubafu nekupa buyumi njame. Muntu washoma ame, nambi ufwa nakabe ne buyumi.
Kayi abo bayumi banshoma nteshi bakafwe sobwe. Sena ulashomonga?” (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.”
Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami, ndashomeshesha njamwe Mupulushi Walaiwa, Mwana wa Lesa, walikuyandika kwisa pacishi capanshi.”
28 And having said these things, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, “The Teacher is present, and calls you”;
Malita mpwalambeco, walamukuwa Maliya kanike wakendi kumbali nekumwambileti, “Lashiki Shikwiyisha, lakukunga.”
29 she, when she heard, rises up quickly, and comes to Him;
Maliya mpwalanyumfwa bwite, walanyamuka bwangu bwangu, nekwisa kuli Yesu.
30 and Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him;
Pacindici Yesu walinkatana ashika mumunshi, nsombi walikacili pamusena mpobalakumana ne Malita.
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.”
Nomba bantu balikuba munga'nda kabatontosha Maliya, mpobalaboneti lanyamuku bwangu bwangu kufuma mung'anda, balamukonka. Balikuyeyeti lenga akulilila kumanda.
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”;
Maliya mpwalashika palikuba Yesu, nekumubona, walaliwisha panshi kumyendo kwakendi nekwambeti, “Mwami, nemwanga kuno, mukwetu naliya kufwa.”
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,
Yesu mpwalabona Maliya kalila kayi nebantu balikubapo nkabalila, walekatwa kumoyo kayi calamubaba.
34 “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”;
Lino walabepusheti, “Mwalamubika kupeyo?” Balambeti, “Mwami, katuyani mukubone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu walalila.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, “Behold, how He was cherishing him!”
Popelapo bantu basa balambeti, “bonani, ncanga wamusuna.”
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?”
Nomba nabambi pakati pabo balambeti, “Muntuyu walashilika muntu washipilwa usa, Inga walalilwaconi kushinkilila Lazalo kwambeti nkatafwa?”
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, comes to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it,
Yesu walikacililila mucali, mpwalikuya kumanda. Lino manda alikuba amuliceni, pacishinga pa manda palikuba cilibwe.
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”;
Lino walambeti, “Cifunyeni cilibweco.” Malita, mukwabo Lazalo walafwa, walamwambileti, “Mwami latatiki kendi kununka, pakwinga palapiti masuba ana.”
40 Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you may believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Yesu walamwipusheti, “Sena ndiya kukwambileti washoma nubone bulemu bwaLesa?”
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;
Lino bantu mpobalafunya cilibwe cisa. Yesu walalanga kwilu nekwambeti, “Ta, ndamulumbunga kwambeti mukute kunkumbula ndasenganga.
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.”
Ndicinshi kwambeti mukute kunyumfwa cindi conse. Lino ndambangeci pacebo calikoto lyabantu balipano kwambeti, bashometi njamwe mwalantuma.”
43 And saying these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
Mpwalambeco walakuwa mwakolobesheti, “Lazaro, pula!”
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.”
Popelapo muntu usa walikuba wafwa walapula kenda kaliwapombailwa bikwisa byamalila kumakasa mpaka kumyendo, cikwisa cimbi calikuba cafwekelela kumenso. Yesu walabambileti, “Mupombololeni, kayi mumuleke ende.”
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came to Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in Him;
Bangi bantu balamushindikila Maliya, balabona bintu mbyalensa Yesu balamushoma.
46 but certain of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
Nsombi Bayuda nabambi balaya kuli bamakulene baBafalisi, kuyakubambila byonse Yesu mbyalensa.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together [the] Sanhedrin and said, “What may we do? Because this Man does many signs?
Lino bamakulene beshimilumbo neBaFalisi balakuwa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, nekwipushaneti, “Nitwinseconi lino, pakwinga muntuyu lenshinga byeshikukankamanisha bingi?
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.”
Twamulekelela bantu bonse nibamushome, nomba Baloma nibakese bakatonongele Ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi ne mushobo wetu.”
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, “You have not known anything,
Nsombi umo pakati pabo, lina lyakendi Kayafa, mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse mucaka ico, walabambileti, “Mwatabila aconi amwe!
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.”
Sena amwe nkamulabonongeti caina kwambeti muntu umo afwile bantu bonse, kupita kwambeti mushobo wonse wonongeke?”
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,
Cakubinga kwamba kulico nkakwalikuba kwamumano akendi sobwe. Pakwinga walikuba Shimilumbo Mukulene, walikushinshima kwambeti Yesu nakafwile mushobo wa bantu.
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.
Cakubinga nteko kwambeti kubafwila bonkowa nsombi, kubunganya pamo bana baLesa balamwaika.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill Him;
Kufumina busa busuba bamakulene ba Bayuda balatatika kupangana sha kushina 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.
Weco Yesu nkalikwenda pantangalala pakati pabantu. Nomba walafumako nekuya kucishi calikuba pepi necinyika, kumunshi walikukwiweti Efulemu, nkwalekala kopeloko pamo nebeshikwiya bakendi.
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;
Kusekelela kwa Pasika kwalaseng'ena pepi. Neco bantu bangi beshikufuma kuminshi balaya ku Yelusalemu kucika cakuliswepesha, Pasika nkayitana iyamba.
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?”
Balikumulangaula Yesu, lino mpobalabungana mu Nga'nda ya Lesa balepushaneti “Sena amwe mulayeyengaconi? Sena lesanga ku Pasika kuno?”
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.
Nomba bamakulene beshimilumbo neBafalisi balambeti uliyense lenshibi kuli Yesu, atwinshibishe kwambeti bamwikate.
