< John 12 >

1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died, whom He raised out of the dead;
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ
2 they made, therefore, a dinner to Him there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together with Him;
ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܬܐ ܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܥܡܗ
3 Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܕܢܪܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܐ ܤܓܝ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܡܫܚܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܝܚܗ ܕܒܤܡܐ
4 Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver Him up—says,
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”
ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܕܒܢ ܡܫܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܠܬ ܡܐܐ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ
6 And he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܓܠܘܤܩܡܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܐ
7 Jesus, therefore, said, “Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming,
ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝܗ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܒܘܪܝ ܢܛܪܬܗ
8 for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me.”
ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ
9 Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews knew that He is there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they may also see Lazarus, whom He raised out of the dead;
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,
ܘܐܬܪܥܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ
12 On the next day, a great multitude that came to the celebration, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,
ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
13 took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet Him, and were crying, “Hosanna! Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD—the King of Israel”;
ܫܩܠܘ ܤܘܟܐ ܕܕܩܠܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ
14 and Jesus having found a young donkey sat on it, according as it is written,
ܐܫܟܚ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ
15 “Do not fear, daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.”
ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܒܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܐ ܡܠܟܟܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܟܝ ܘܪܟܝܒ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܒܪ ܐܬܢܐ
16 And His disciples did not know these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about Him, and these things they did to Him.
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ
17 The multitude, therefore, who are with Him, were testifying that He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him out of the dead;
ܘܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
18 because of this the multitude also met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign,
ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ
19 therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you do not gain anything, behold, the world went after Him.”
ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܒܬܪܗ
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the celebration,
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܠܡܤܓܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ
21 these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, “Lord, we wish to see Jesus”;
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
24 truly, truly, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remains alone; and if it may die, it bears much fruit;
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܪܕܬܐ ܕܚܛܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܦܠܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܦܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܝܬܝܐ
25 he who is cherishing his life will lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world will keep it to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܤܢܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܛܪܝܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
26 if anyone may minister to Me, let him follow Me, and where I am, there My servant will be also; and if anyone may minister to Me—the Father will honor him.
ܐܢ ܠܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܝܩܪܝܘܗܝ ܐܒܐ
27 Now My soul has been troubled; and what will I say—Father, save Me from this hour? But because of this I came to this hour;
ܗܫܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܗܐ ܫܓܝܫܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܦܨܢܝ ܡܢ ܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ
28 Father, glorify Your Name.” Therefore there came a voice out of Heaven, “I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it]”;
ܐܒܐ ܫܒܚ ܫܡܟ ܘܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܒܚܬ ܘܬܘܒ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ
29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there has been thunder; others said, “A messenger has spoken to Him.”
ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܥܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ
30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me, but because of you;
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ
31 now is a judgment of this world, now will the ruler of this world be cast forth;
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ
32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
ܘܐܢܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܪܝܡܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܓܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܠܘܬܝ
33 And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܐܬ
34 the multitude answered Him, “We heard that the Christ remains out of the Law—throughout the age; and how do You say that it is required that the Son of Man be lifted up? Who is this—the Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܡܥܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܩܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܕܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ (aiōn g165)
35 Therefore Jesus said to them, “Yet a short time is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness has not known where he goes;
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܗܠܟܘ ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܕܪܟܟܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ
36 while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, He was hid from them,
ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܬܛܫܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ
37 yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, “LORD, who gave credence to our report? And the arm of the LORD—to whom was it revealed?”
ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܝܡܢ ܠܫܡܥܢ ܘܕܪܥܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ
39 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ
40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I might heal them”;
ܕܥܘܪܘ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܚܫܟܘ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܒܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܘܐܤܐ ܐܢܘܢ
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ
42 Still, however, out of the rulers many also believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
ܐܦ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
ܪܚܡܘ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
44 And Jesus cried and said, “He who is believing in Me, does not believe in Me, but in Him who sent Me;
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
45 and He who is beholding Me, beholds Him who sent Me;
ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܚܙܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
46 I—light to the world—have come, that everyone who is believing in Me may not remain in the darkness;
ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܢܩܘܐ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ
47 and if anyone may hear My sayings, and not believe, I do not judge him, for I did not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
ܘܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
48 He who is rejecting Me, and not receiving My sayings, has one who is judging him, the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day,
ܡܢ ܕܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܕܕܐܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܠܬ ܗܝ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
49 because I did not speak from Myself, but the Father who sent Me, He gave Me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
ܕܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܠܠ
50 and I have known that His command is continuous life; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.” (aiōnios g166)
ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܗ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ (aiōnios g166)
