John 12
1 So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
Ivi tanne hi ni vi u gan rugran'a (Idin ketere) Yesu ye ni Baitaya ni bubu wa Lazarus ahe'a, uwa Yesu a tawu shime rju ni be.
2 So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.
U ba tie birli wu ni ki u Marta ahe ni ndasi nno ba birli, u Lazarus ahe ni ba nda kakru ni tebur u rli ni Yesu.
3 Then Mary took a pound of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over his feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
U Maryamu ka ban turare nard, nda nyuu za Yesu niwu nda se za Yesu ni nfutu ma. U turare ka vra whi shu ni koh'a wawu.
4 Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him,
Yahuda Iskariyoti, iri nimi almajere ma, wa ani kawu le, a tre,
5 "Why was not this perfume sold for fifty dollars, and the proceeds given to the poor?"
“Ahi ngyeri mba sa ba na le ni tulare dinari dari tra na ka ga bi na?”
6 This he said not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, carrying the purse,
A tre naki ana ndi ahe niwu mi sron ma na, a wa'a ndahi ndji u yibi. A wawuyi ni zi imbu nklen'a, nda ni son ybi ni mi.
7 used to purloin what was put in it. Then said Jesus. "Let her alone. Against the day of my burial has she kept this;
Yesu tre, bika chowo ni ndu ka kpye wa ahe wu'a zi ni fi wa baka rju me'a.
8 for the poor you have with you always, but me you have not always."
Biya ba he ni yi ko ni tanyi u me mi na he niyi chachuwu na.
9 When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
U gbugbu Yahudawa ba wo andi Yesu a he ni kii u ba ye, ana nitu Yesu ni nkrji megyen na, baye son to Lazarus ngame wa Yesu tawu shime ni khwu'a.
10 And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
U Firistoci bi ni kon, baka ka'nyu kabi nda wa nkon u wu'u Lazarus ngame.
11 because it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them, and beginning to believe on Jesus.
Nitu ma yi wa Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ka kpa nyeme ni Yesu.
12 Next day the big crowd who had come up for the Passover heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
Ni vi rima indji gbugbuwu ba ye ni gan. Ni wa ba wo ndi Yesu ni ye ni Urushalima,
13 and taking branches from the palm trees went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Even Israel’s King!"
u ba vu ihran dabino nda rju ni gbu nda hi kpawu nda ni yo gbangban me nda ni tre, “Hosanna! Lulu ahi wu Indji wa ani ye ni mi nde Bachi, Ichu Israila.
14 And Jesus found a young ass and seated himself on it, as it is written,
Yesu a ka fe ivren jaki (Aholaki), nda hon nitu ma, towa ba ngha'a,
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh seated upon an ass’s colt.
“Na ti sissri na, Ivrenwa Sihiyona, yayi, ngye Ichu ni ye, a son nitu vren jaki.”
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to him.
Almajere ma bana to tu mana ni mumla, ni kogon wa ba gbyre Yesu san, baka tika, andi ba nha nda ni he to kima, u ba ti ba ni wu na kima.
17 Meanwhile the crowd which was with him when he summoned Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, kept witnessing.
Ij'bu ndji ba a hla ndi bana he niwu niwa a yo Lazarus rju ni mi be nda tawu shime ni khwu na.
18 For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.
Nitu kima, gbugbu indji ba ye ni ndu ba same niwu nitu wa ati gban (alama) yi.
19 Then the Pharisees said among themselves. "You see! You can do nothing! Look! The world is gone after him!"
Ni naki, se Farisawa bari bubu tre ni kpa mba andi, “Yayi, bi heni kpe u tina bi to, gbugbulu,'a ba hu wawu ye.
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who had come up to worship during the Passover feast;
Indji bi Helinawa bari ni mi bi wa ba hi ni sujada u idin.
21 these came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we want to see Jesus."
Ba ki ba hi ni Filibu, igu u betsa ida wa ahe ni Galili, u ba tre niwu, “Mala, ki sun to Yesu.
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered.
Filibu ahi na ka hla ni Andarawus, u Andarawus ba hi mba Filibu, u ba hla ni Yesu.
23 "The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
Yesu hla bawu, “Inton tsra ye wa ba shu ngbarju ni Vren Ndji.
24 In solemn truth I tell you that except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains a single kernel; but if it die it bears a great crop.
Njanji, njanji, mi si hla yiwu, iwolo alkama ni ta na joku ni meme na kwu na, ani he ni ngrjima, u ani ta kwu, ani ti wolo gbugbuwu.
25 He who loves his life loses it; and he who regards not his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Indji wa ani son ivri ma, ani wa wu hama, u indji wa ana son ivri ma na ni ngbungblu yi ani kiyaye wu nitu ivri ma u tuntru. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any one is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am there shall my servant be also. If any man is ready to serve me, him will my Father honor.
Indrjori nita ni shu ngbarju nimu, wa ka hume, ko ni ntsen wa mi he'a, ni mu igran ni sun. Indji wa a shu ngbarju nimu, Iti ni no ninkon.
27 Now is my soul disquieted. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? Nay, for this very cause I am come to this hour.
Zizan isron mu he ni mi mmren, u mi tre ngye? Iti u kpa me chuwo ni ton yi? Ani to kima yi me ye ni ton yi.
28 Father, glorify thy name!" Whereupon there came a voice from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
Iti, shu ngburju ni tume.” U lantre ri ni tre, “Me shu ngbarju niwu, mila shu ngbarju niwu ngari.
29 Then the crowd who stood around and heard it, said, "It thundered!" But others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
U indji biwa ba ki na kima bawo lantre, na tre ahi zan bari ba ri ba tre ahi “Maleka mba tre niwu.”
30 "It is not for my sake," answered Jesus, "that the voice came, but for your sakes.
Yesu tre, “Andi lan tre yi na ye nitu mu na, a nitu mbi.”
31 Now is a judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be driven out.
Zizan ba tron ni gbungblu'a: zizan ba zu Indji wa ani nji gbunglu'a.
32 "AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO MYSELF."
U me, ba ta ba me lu ni gbunbglu'a, Mi gbron indji wawu ye ni kpamu.”
33 (In saying this he was signifying by what kind of death he was to die.)
A hla wayi ni tu iri kwu wa ani kwu'a.
34 Then the people answered. "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abides forever. What do you mean by ‘The Son of man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of man?" (aiōn g165)
Ijubu indji ba lu tre, “Ki wo ni mi tronandi Almasihu ni son hi ni tuntru. A nihe u tre, ba zun Vren Indji? Ahi nha mba hi Vren Ndji'a?” (aiōn g165)
35 "The Light is among you a little longer," answered Jesus. "Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Yesu hla bawu, “Zizan ni vi ton tsa me bi son ni ikpan. Bika zren ni kpan tu ka ari he ni yi ri, na ndu bu'u dun mren yi na. Indji wa ani zren ni mi bu'u'a ana to wurji u hi na.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become Sons of Light."
Bi kpa nyeme ni kpan tu wa ri he ni yi ri ni ndu kati imri ikpan.” Yesu hla tre biyi ri na ri tuma ni bawu.
37 With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.
Ko naki me Yesu ti gban bi babran ni shishi mba, ni naki me bana kpa nyeme niwu na.
38 So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?
Nitu itre Anabi Ishaya a a shu, wa a hla, “Bachi, ahi nha a kpa nyeme ni tre mbu? Ani nha iwo Bachi a hla tu ma?”
39 This was why they could not believe, because Isaiah said again.
Nitu kima ba na kpa nyeme na, ni wa Ishaya ala tre andi,
40 He hath blinded their eyes and make their hearts hard, Lest they should see with their eyes, perceive with their minds, And should turn, and I should heal them.
A ka ba tibi fyen, na lo sron gbangban me, ni ndu bana to ni shishi mba na. Naki nato toma ni mi sron mba, na k'ma ye ni me ni ndu mi den ba.
41 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.
Ishaya hla kpi biyi ni wa a to ko shishi u shu ngbarju ni Yesu.
42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue.
Ni naki me, gbugbuwu bakpa nyeme ni Yesu ni mi bi ninkon'a. U nitu Farisawa, bana ya hla wu rju ni rira na, ni ndu ba na zu ba rju ni mi Majamiya na.
43 For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
Ba son gbre san u indji zan gbre san wa ani rji ni Rji.
44 Now Jesus, speaking in a loud voice, had said.
Yesu tre gban gban me, na hla, indji wa a kpa nyeme ni me, ana me yi a kpa nyeme ni me kankle mu na, a kpa nyeme ni indji wa a ton me'a.
45 "He who believes in me believes not in me, but in Him who sent me; and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
Ngari indji wa asi to me, asi to Indji wa a ton me.
46 Like light am I come into the world, so that no one who believes in me may remain in darkness.
Ime mi ye nitu ikpan ni gbungblu'a, ni indji wa a kpa nyeme ni me a na zren ni mi bu'u na.
47 And if any one hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I am not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Indji wa awo tre mu nda na kpa nyeme na, mina hukunta ni wu na. Mina ye nitu hukunta indji na; ni ndu me kpa gbungblu'a chuwo.
48 He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has indeed a judge. The message which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the Last Day,
Indji wa a kama ni me, na kama kpa tre mu, indji ri he wa ni hukunta niwu ilan wa mi tre ni hukunta niwu ni chachu kekle.
49 because I have never spoken on my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me gave me commandment what to say and what words to speak.
Mi na tutu mu na, a Ti'a wa a ton Me, wa a yo Me ni ndu mi hla ni tre.
