John 11
1 Now, one Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
Awo olwatuuka omuntu ayitibwa Laazaalo eyali e Besaniya n’alwala. Besaniya ky’ekibuga Maliyamu ne Maliza bannyina ba Laazaalo mwe baali.
2 (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with balsam, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Maliyamu oyo ye yasiiga Mukama waffe amafuta ag’akaloosa ku bigere n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze.
3 The sisters, therefore, sent to tell Jesus, Master, lo! he whom you love, is sick.
Awo Maliyamu ne Maliza ne batumira Yesu ne bamutegeeza nti, “Mukama waffe, mukwano gwo gw’oyagala ennyo mulwadde nnyo.”
4 Jesus hearing it, said, This sickness will not prove fatal; but conduce to the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
Naye Yesu bwe yakitegeera n’agamba nti, “Ekigendereddwa mu bulwadde buno si kufa, wabula kulaga kitiibwa kya Katonda, era n’okuweesa Omwana wa Katonda ekitiibwa.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu yali mukwano gwa Maliyamu ne Maliza ne Laazaalo, naye bwe yawulira nga Laazaalo alwadde n’ayongera n’asigala we yali
6 Having, then, heard that he was sick, Jesus staid two days in the place where he was.
n’amalawo ennaku endala bbiri nga tanagenda gye bali.
7 Afterward, he said to the disciples, Let us return to Judea.
Awo ennaku bbiri bwe zaayitawo n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Tuddeyo e Buyudaaya.”
8 The disciples answered, Rabbi, but very lately the Jews would have stoned you, and you would return thither?
Kyokka abayigirizwa be, ne bamugamba nti, “Labbi, mu nnaku ntono ezaakayita Abayudaaya baagezaako okukutta. Ate gy’odda?”
9 Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not: because he sees the light of the world:
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Essaawa ez’emisana ziwera kkumi na bbiri, era omuntu bw’atambula emisana teyeesittala kubanga aba alaba.
10 but if he walk in the night, he stumbles; because there is no light.
Wabula atambula ekiro ye yeesittala, kubanga omusana teguli mu ye.”
11 Having spoken this, he added, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to wake him.
Bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’abagamba nti, “Mukwano gwaffe Laazaalo yeebase, naye ŋŋenda kumuzuukusa.”
12 Then said his disciples, Master, if he sleep, he will recover.
Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe oba yeebase anaazuukuka.”
13 Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
Naye Yesu yayogera ku kufa kwa Laazaalo, kyokka bo abayigirizwa be ne balowooza nti ayogera ku kwebaka tulo.
14 Then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Awo n’alyoka abategeereza ddala nti, “Laazaalo afudde.
15 And on your account I am glad that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him.
Naye ku lw’obulungi bwammwe, nsanyuse kubanga ssaaliyo, mulyoke mukkirize; kale mujje tugende gy’ali.”
16 Then Thomas, that is, Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us go, that we may die with him.
Awo Tomasi eyayitibwanga Didumo n’agamba banne nti, “Ka tugende tufiire wamu naye.”
17 When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.
Bwe baatuuka e Besaniya Yesu n’asanga nga Laazaalo yaakamala ennaku nnya mu ntaana.
18 Now, (Bethany being about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem, )
Besaniya kyali kumpi ne Yerusaalemi, kilomita nga ssatu.
19 many of the Jews came to Martha, and Mary, to comfort them on the death of their brother.
Abayudaaya bangi baali bazze okukubagiza Maliza ne Maliyamu olw’okufiirwa mwannyinaabwe.
20 Martha having heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary remained in the house.
Maliza bwe yawulira nti Yesu ajja, n’agenda okumusisinkana, kyokka Maliyamu n’asigala mu nnyumba ng’atudde.
21 Then Martha said to Jesus, Master, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Awo Maliza n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde.
22 But I know that even now, whatever you shall ask of God, God will give you.
Era kaakano mmanyi nti buli ky’onoosaba Katonda, ajja kukikuwa.”
23 Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.
Yesu n’agamba Maliza nti, “Mwannyoko ajja kuzuukira.”
24 Martha replied, I know that he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day.
Maliza n’amuddamu nti, “Mmanyi nti alizuukira ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.”
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes on me, though he were dead, shall live;
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze kuzuukira n’obulamu; akkiriza nze newaakubadde ng’afudde, aliba mulamu,
na buli muntu omulamu akkiriza nze talifa emirembe n’emirembe. Ekyo okikkiriza?” (aiōn g165)
27 She answered, Yes, Master, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, He who comes into the world.
Maliza n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange nzikiriza nti ggwe Kristo Omwana wa Katonda, ajja mu nsi.”
28 Having said this, she went and called Mary, her sister, aside, saying, The Teacher is come, and calls for you.
Awo Maliza bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’ava eri Yesu n’agenda eri Maliyamu n’amuzza ku bbali mu kyama ng’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza azze, akuyita.”
29 When Mary heard this, she instantly rose and went to him.
Maliyamu olwawulira ekyo n’asitukiramu n’agenda eri Yesu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Yesu yali akyali mu kifo Maliza we yamusisinkana nga tannatuuka mu kibuga.
31 The Jews, then, who were condoling with Mary in the house, when they saw that she arose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there.
Abayudaaya abaali bazze okukubagiza abaali mu nnyumba ne Maliyamu bwe baamulaba ng’ayimiridde mangu ng’afuluma ne bamugoberera ne balowooza nti agenda ku ntaana akaabire eyo.
32 Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, and seeing him, threw herself at his feet, saying, Had you be here, Master, my brother had not died.
Maliyamu bwe yatuuka awali Yesu n’afukamira ku bigere bye, nga bw’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde.”
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping, who came with her, he groaned deeply, and was troubled,
Yesu bwe yamulaba ng’akaaba era n’Abayudaaya abaali naye nga bakaaba n’anyolwa mu mutima, n’ajjula obuyinike.
34 and said, Where have you laid him? They answered, and said, Master, come and see.
N’abuuza nti, “Mwamuteeka wa?” Ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe jjangu olabeyo.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu n’akaaba amaziga.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, Mark how he loved him.
Awo Abayudaaya ne bagamba nti, “Ng’abadde amwagala nnyo!”
37 But some of them said, Could not he who gave sight to the blind man, even have prevented this man's death?
Naye abamu ku bo ne bagamba nti, “Ono eyazibula amaaso ga muzibe, lwaki teyaziyiza musajja ono kufa?”
38 Jesus, therefore, again, groaning, came to the tomb. It was a cave, the entrance of which was shut up with a stone.
Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera okujjula obuyinike. N’atuuka ku ntaana. Yali mpuku ng’eggaliddwawo n’ejjinja.
39 Jesus said, Remove the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, answered, Sir, by this time, the smell is offensive, for this is the fourth day.
Yesu n’agamba nti, “Muggyeewo ejjinja.” Naye Maliza, mwannyina w’omufu, n’amugamba nti, “Kaakano awunya nnyo, kubanga yaakamala ennaku nnya mu ntaana.”
40 Jesus replied, Did I not say to you, If you believe, you shall see the glory of God?
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Saakugambye nti bw’onokkiriza onoolaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda?”
41 Then they removed the stone. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
Ne baggyawo ejjinja. Awo Yesu n’atunula waggulu n’agamba nti, “Kitange nkwebaza olw’okumpulira.
42 As for me, I know that thou hearest me always; but I speak, for the people's sake who surround me, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Mmanyi nti bulijjo ompulira, naye kino nkyogedde olw’abantu bano abayimiridde wano, balyoke bakkirize nti ggwe wantuma.”
43 After these words, raising his voice, he cried, Lazarus, come forth!
Bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo, n’akoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Laazaalo fuluma.”
44 He who had been dead, came forth, bound hand and foot with fillets, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.
Awo Laazaalo n’ava mu ntaana, ng’amagulu ge n’emikono bizingiddwa mu ngoye eziziikibwamu abafu, nga n’ekiremba kisibiddwa ku maaso ge. Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Mumusumulule atambule.”
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews, who had come to Mary, and seen what he did, believed on him.
Bangi ku Bayudaaya abajja ne Maliyamu bwe baalaba Yesu ky’akoze ne bamukkiriza.
46 But some of the repaired to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
Naye abalala ne bagenda eri Abafalisaayo ne babategeeza Yesu kye yakola.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? for this man works many miracles.
Awo bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo ne batuuza olukiiko ne bagamba nti, “Tukole ki? Kubanga omuntu ono akola ebyamagero bingi.
48 If we let him go on thus, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and our nation.
Bwe tumuleka bw’atyo, abantu bonna bajja kumukkiriza bamugoberere, n’ekirivaamu Abaruumi bagenda kujja bazikirize ekifo ekitukuvu n’eggwanga lyaffe.”
49 One of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You are utterly at a loss,
Awo omu ku bo, Kayaafa eyali Kabona Asinga Obukulu mu mwaka ogwo, n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe temuliiko kye mumanyi.
50 and do not consider, that it is better for us that one man die for the people, than that the whole nation should be ruined.
Temulaba nti kirungi omuntu omu afe, eggwanga lyonna lireme kuzikirira?”
51 This he spoke, not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
Ekyo Kayaafa teyakyogera ku bubwe, wabula ye nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu, yayogera eby’obunnabbi nti Yesu yali anaatera okufiirira eggwanga,
52 and not for that nation only, but that he should assemble into one body the dispersed children of God.
ate si ggwanga lyokka naye n’okukuŋŋaanya abaana ba Katonda abaasaasaana.
53 From that day, therefore, they concerted how they might destroy him.
Okuva ku lunaku olwo abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne basala amagezi okutta Yesu.
54 For that reason, Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews, but retired to the country, near the desert, to a city called Ephraim; and continued there with his disciples.
Noolwekyo, Yesu n’alekayo okutambula mu Buyudaaya mu lwatu, wabula n’avaayo n’alaga mu kifo ekiriraanye eddungu, mu kibuga ekiyitibwa Efulayimu, n’abeera eyo n’abayigirizwa be.
55 Meantime, the Jewish passover approached, and many went to Jerusalem from the country, before the passover, to purify themselves.
Embaga y’Abayudaaya ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako yali eneetera okutuuka, abantu bangi ne bava mu byalo ne bambuka e Yerusaalemi okukola omukolo ogw’okwetukuza ng’embaga tennatuuka.
56 These inquired after Jesus, and said, one to another, as they stood in the temple, What do you think? Will he not come to the festival?
Bwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde mu Yeekaalu, ne banoonya Yesu, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Mulowooza mutya? Yesu tajje ku mbaga?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that whosoever knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might apprehend him.
Bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo baali balagidde nti, Omuntu yenna bw’amanya Yesu wali abategeeze, balyoke bamukwate.
