John 11
1 Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha
Awo olwatuuka omuntu ayitibwa Laazaalo eyali e Besaniya n’alwala. Besaniya ky’ekibuga Maliyamu ne Maliza bannyina ba Laazaalo mwe baali.
2 - it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
Maliyamu oyo ye yasiiga Mukama waffe amafuta ag’akaloosa ku bigere n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze.
3 So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."
Awo Maliyamu ne Maliza ne batumira Yesu ne bamutegeeza nti, “Mukama waffe, mukwano gwo gw’oyagala ennyo mulwadde nnyo.”
4 When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."
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 However, when he heard that he was ill,
n’amalawo ennaku endala bbiri nga tanagenda gye bali.
7 he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."
Awo ennaku bbiri bwe zaayitawo n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Tuddeyo e Buyudaaya.”
8 "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
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 daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Essaawa ez’emisana ziwera kkumi na bbiri, era omuntu bw’atambula emisana teyeesittala kubanga aba alaba.
10 but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
Wabula atambula ekiro ye yeesittala, kubanga omusana teguli mu ye.”
11 This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."
Bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’abagamba nti, “Mukwano gwaffe Laazaalo yeebase, naye ŋŋenda kumuzuukusa.”
12 "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.
Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe oba yeebase anaazuukuka.”
13 Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.
Naye Yesu yayogera ku kufa kwa Laazaalo, kyokka bo abayigirizwa be ne balowooza nti ayogera ku kwebaka tulo.
14 So then he told them plainly.
Awo n’alyoka abategeereza ddala nti, “Laazaalo afudde.
15 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."
Naye ku lw’obulungi bwammwe, nsanyuse kubanga ssaaliyo, mulyoke mukkirize; kale mujje tugende gy’ali.”
16 Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."
Awo Tomasi eyayitibwanga Didumo n’agamba banne nti, “Ka tugende tufiire wamu naye.”
17 so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.
Bwe baatuuka e Besaniya Yesu n’asanga nga Laazaalo yaakamala ennaku nnya mu ntaana.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away;
Besaniya kyali kumpi ne Yerusaalemi, kilomita nga ssatu.
19 so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.
Abayudaaya bangi baali bazze okukubagiza Maliza ne Maliyamu olw’okufiirwa mwannyinaabwe.
20 So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting 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, had you been here my brother would not have died;
Awo Maliza n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde.
22 but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
Era kaakano mmanyi nti buli ky’onoosaba Katonda, ajja kukikuwa.”
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
Yesu n’agamba Maliza nti, “Mwannyoko ajja kuzuukira.”
24 Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day."
Maliza n’amuddamu nti, “Mmanyi nti alizuukira ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.”
25 "I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze kuzuukira n’obulamu; akkiriza nze newaakubadde ng’afudde, aliba mulamu,
26 And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
na buli muntu omulamu akkiriza nze talifa emirembe n’emirembe. Ekyo okikkiriza?” (aiōn g165)
27 "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
Maliza n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange nzikiriza nti ggwe Kristo Omwana wa Katonda, ajja mu nsi.”
28 With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking 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 So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.
Maliyamu olwawulira ekyo n’asitukiramu n’agenda eri Yesu.
30 Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.
Yesu yali akyali mu kifo Maliza we yamusisinkana nga tannatuuka mu kibuga.
31 Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was 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 When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."
Maliyamu bwe yatuuka awali Yesu n’afukamira ku bigere bye, nga bw’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde.”
33 Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.
Yesu bwe yamulaba ng’akaaba era n’Abayudaaya abaali naye nga bakaaba n’anyolwa mu mutima, n’ajjula obuyinike.
34 "Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.
N’abuuza nti, “Mwamuteeka wa?” Ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe jjangu olabeyo.”
35 Jesus burst into tears.
Yesu n’akaaba amaziga.
36 "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,
Awo Abayudaaya ne bagamba nti, “Ng’abadde amwagala nnyo!”
37 "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"
Naye abamu ku bo ne bagamba nti, “Ono eyazibula amaaso ga muzibe, lwaki teyaziyiza musajja ono kufa?”
38 Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.
Awo Yesu ne yeeyongera okujjula obuyinike. N’atuuka ku ntaana. Yali mpuku ng’eggaliddwawo n’ejjinja.
39 "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."
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 answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Saakugambye nti bw’onokkiriza onoolaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda?”
41 Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.
Ne baggyawo ejjinja. Awo Yesu n’atunula waggulu n’agamba nti, “Kitange nkwebaza olw’okumpulira.
42 "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order 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 When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
Bwe yamala okwogera bw’atyo, n’akoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Laazaalo fuluma.”
44 Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie 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 of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;
Bangi ku Bayudaaya abajja ne Maliyamu bwe baalaba Yesu ky’akoze ne bamukkiriza.
46 but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Naye abalala ne bagenda eri Abafalisaayo ne babategeeza Yesu kye yakola.
47 So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
Awo bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo ne batuuza olukiiko ne bagamba nti, “Tukole ki? Kubanga omuntu ono akola ebyamagero bingi.
48 "What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."
Bwe tumuleka bw’atyo, abantu bonna bajja kumukkiriza bamugoberere, n’ekirivaamu Abaruumi bagenda kujja bazikirize ekifo ekitukuvu n’eggwanga lyaffe.”
49 But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,
Awo omu ku bo, Kayaafa eyali Kabona Asinga Obukulu mu mwaka ogwo, n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe temuliiko kye mumanyi.
50 "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."
Temulaba nti kirungi omuntu omu afe, eggwanga lyonna lireme kuzikirira?”
51 now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of 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 in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.
ate si ggwanga lyokka naye n’okukuŋŋaanya abaana ba Katonda abaasaasaana.
53 So from that day they plotted to kill him.
Okuva ku lunaku olwo abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne basala amagezi okutta Yesu.
54 Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,
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 and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.
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 So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not come to the feast at all?"
Bwe baali bakuŋŋaanidde mu Yeekaalu, ne banoonya Yesu, ne beebuuzaganya nti, “Mulowooza mutya? Yesu tajje ku mbaga?”
57 Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
Bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo baali balagidde nti, Omuntu yenna bw’amanya Yesu wali abategeeze, balyoke bamukwate.
