John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ na mũndũ wetagwo Lazaro, nake aarĩ mũrũaru. Aarĩ wa Bethania, itũũra rĩa Mariamu na mwarĩ wa nyina Maritha.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
Mariamu ũyũ nowe waitĩrĩirie Mwathani maguta manungi wega na akĩmũgiria nyarĩrĩ na njuĩrĩ yake, na aarĩ mwarĩ wa nyina na Lazaro ũcio warĩ mũrũaru.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio aarĩ acio a nyina magĩtũmanĩra Jesũ akeerwo atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũrĩa wendete nĩmũrũaru.”
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndwari ĩno ndĩkũrĩĩkĩrĩra na gĩkuũ. Aca, nĩ ya kũgoocithia Ngai, nĩgeetha Mũrũ wa Ngai agoocithio nĩyo.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Jesũ nĩendete Maritha na mwarĩ wa nyina, o na Lazaro.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
No o na thuutha wa kũigua atĩ Lazaro aarĩ mũrũaru-rĩ, aikarire kũu aarĩ mĩthenya ĩngĩ ĩĩrĩ.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
Agĩcooka akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũcookei Judea.”
8 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ Rabii, o rĩu ica ikuhĩ Ayahudi marageragia gũkũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, na rĩu ũrenda gũcooka kuo?”
9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũthenya ti wa mathaa ikũmi na meerĩ? Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiaga mũthenya ndangĩhĩngwo, nĩgũkorwo onaga na ũtheri wa gũkũ thĩ.
10 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
Ahĩngagwo rĩrĩa egũthiĩ ũtukũ, nĩ ũndũ ndarĩ na ũtheri.”
11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩcooka akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrata witũ Lazaro nĩakomete; no nĩngũthiĩ kũu ngamũũkĩrie.”
12 Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
Arutwo ake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, akorwo nĩ gũkoma akomete-rĩ, nĩekũhona.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Jesũ aaragia ũhoro wa gĩkuũ gĩake, no arutwo ake meciiragia aaragia ũhoro wa toro wa ndũire.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmeera na njĩra ĩgũtaũka, atĩrĩ, “Lazaro nĩmũkuũ,
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
no nĩ ũndũ wanyu nĩngenete nĩgũkorwo ndiraarĩ kuo, nĩgeetha mwĩtĩkie. No rĩrĩ, nĩtũthiĩi kũrĩ we.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
Nake Toma (ũrĩa wetagwo Wa-mahatha) akĩĩra arutwo arĩa angĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩi o na ithuĩ, tũgakuanĩre nake.”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Jesũ aakinya-rĩ, agĩkora Lazaro nĩaniinĩte mĩthenya ĩna thĩinĩ wa mbĩrĩra.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
Na rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Bethania rĩtiakinyĩtie kilomita ithatũ kuuma Jerusalemu,
19 Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
nao Ayahudi aingĩ nĩmokĩte kũu kwa Maritha na Mariamu kũmomĩrĩria nĩ ũndũ wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ mũrũ wa nyina wao.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Rĩrĩa Maritha aiguire atĩ Jesũ nĩarooka, akiuma, agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga, no Mariamu agĩikara kũu mũciĩ.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
Maritha akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Mwathani ũngĩraarĩ gũkũ-rĩ, mũrũ wa maitũ ndangĩrakuire.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
No rĩrĩ, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ o na rĩu Ngai nĩegũkũhe o kĩrĩa gĩothe ũngĩhooya.”
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa maitũguo nĩekũriũka.” Nake Maritha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ,
24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
“Nĩnjũũĩ nĩakariũka hĩndĩ ya iriũkĩro mũthenya wa mũthia.”
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ kũriũka na nĩ niĩ muoyo. Nake ũrĩa wothe ũnjĩtĩkĩtie, o na aakua, nĩagatũũra muoyo;
nake ũrĩa wothe ũtũũraga muoyo na nĩanjĩtĩkĩtie, ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaakua. Wee nĩwĩtĩkĩtie ũguo?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."
Nake Maritha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ Mwathani, nĩnjĩtĩkĩtie atĩ wee nĩwe Kristũ, Mũrũ wa Ngai, ũrĩa wĩrĩtwo nĩagooka gũkũ thĩ.”
28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
Nake aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩcooka agĩthiĩ agĩĩta mwarĩ wa nyina Mariamu keeheri-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani arĩ gũkũ na nĩarakũũria.”
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
Rĩrĩa Mariamu aiguire ũguo, akĩrũgama na ihenya agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
Na hĩndĩ ĩyo Jesũ ndaakoretwo atoonyete itũũra, no aarĩ o harĩa Maritha aamũtũngĩte.
31 Then the Judeans who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
Rĩrĩa Ayahudi acio maarĩ na Mariamu kũu nyũmba makĩmũũmĩrĩria monire ũrĩa okĩra na ihenya oimĩte nja, makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, magĩĩciiria atĩ aathiiaga mbĩrĩra-inĩ akarĩrĩre ho.
32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mariamu aakinyire harĩa Jesũ aarĩ na akĩmuona, akĩgũa thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũngĩraarĩ gũkũ, mũrũ wa maitũ ndangĩrakuire.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jesũ aamuonire akĩrĩra, na Ayahudi arĩa mokĩte hamwe nake o nao makĩrĩra-rĩ, agĩcaaya mũno roho-inĩ thĩinĩ na agĩtangĩka ngoro.
34 and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũmũigĩte ha?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, ũka wone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesũ akĩrĩra.
36 The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
Nao Ayahudi makiuga atĩrĩ, “Onei ũrĩa aramwendete!”
37 But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
No amwe ao makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ ũrahingũrire mũtumumu maitho-rĩ, ndangĩrahotire kũgiria akue?”
38 So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Nake Jesũ, o rĩngĩ acaaĩte mũno, agĩthiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ. Mbĩrĩra ĩyo yarĩ ngurunga na yahingĩtwo na ihiga.
39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Eheriai ihiga.” No Maritha, mwarĩ wa nyina na mũndũ ũcio wakuĩte, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, rĩu nĩmũnungu nĩ ũndũ nĩaniinĩte mĩthenya ĩna ho.”
40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
Nake Jesũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ wetĩkia nĩũkuona riiri wa Ngai?”
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩeheria ihiga. Jesũ agĩcooka agĩtiira maitho, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba, nĩndagũcookeria ngaatho nĩ ũndũ nĩũnjiguaga.
42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ nĩũnjiguaga hĩndĩ ciothe, no ndoiga ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aya marũgamĩte haha, nĩguo metĩkie atĩ nĩwe wandũmire.”
43 When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
Jesũ aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Lazaro, uma!”
44 The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
Nake mũndũ ũcio warĩ mũkuũ akiuma, ohetwo na ndaamĩ cia gatani moko na magũrũ, na akarigiicĩrio taama ũthiũ. Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Muohorei mataama macio ma mbĩrĩra, mũreke athiĩ.”
45 Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi aingĩ arĩa mokĩte gũceerera Mariamu, moona ũrĩa Jesũ eekire, makĩmwĩtĩkia.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
No amwe ao magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Afarisai, makĩmeera ũrĩa Jesũ ekĩte.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene hamwe na Afarisai magĩĩta Kĩama. Makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ tũreka? Onei ũrĩa mũndũ ũyũ araringa ciama nyingĩ.
48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
Twareka athiĩ na mbere ũguo, andũ othe nĩmekũmwĩtĩkia, nao Aroma moke meyoere hekarũ iitũ, o na rũrĩrĩ rwitũ.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmwe wao wetagwo Kaiafa, ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene mwaka ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũtirĩ ũndũ mũũĩ o na atĩa!
50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
Inyuĩ mũtiũĩ atĩ nĩ kaba mũndũ ũmwe akue nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩndĩ, handũ ha rũrĩrĩ ruothe rũthire.”
51 Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Ũndũ ũcio ndaaririe etaarĩte we mwene, no aarathire ũguo arĩ ta mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene wa mwaka ũcio, atĩ Jesũ nĩagakuĩra rũrĩrĩ rwa Ayahudi,
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
na to rũrĩrĩ rũu rwiki, no o na ningĩ akue nĩ ũndũ wa ciana cia Ngai iria ciahurunjũkĩte, nĩgeetha acicookanĩrĩrie atũme ituĩke kĩndũ kĩmwe.
53 So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio kuuma mũthenya ũcio magĩciirĩra kũmũũraga.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and stayed there with his disciples.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ ndaacookire gũthiĩ akĩĩonithanagia kũrĩ Ayahudi. Handũ ha ũguo, akĩehera agĩthiĩ kũndũ kwarĩ hakuhĩ na werũ, gatũũra geetagwo Efiraimu, agĩikara kuo na arutwo ake.
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Na rĩrĩa Bathaka ya Ayahudi yakuhĩrĩirie, andũ aingĩ makĩambata kuuma matũũra-inĩ, magĩthiĩ Jerusalemu nĩ ũndũ wa igongona rĩa gwĩtheria Bathaka ĩtanakinya.
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?"
Andũ acio magĩikara magĩcaragia Jesũ, na rĩrĩa maarũngiĩ nja ya hekarũ, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Mũgwĩciiria atĩa? Kaĩ hihi ategũũka Gĩathĩ-inĩ?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.
No athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai nĩmarutĩte watho atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũngĩamenyire harĩa Jesũ aarĩ, amarehere ũhoro nĩgeetha mamũnyiite.
