< Yochanan 12 >
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
Zvino mazuva matanhatu pasika isati yasvika Jesu wakasvika Bhetaniya, paiva naRazaro wakange afa, waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa.
2 So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him.
Naizvozvo vakamuitira chirairo ipapo, uye Marita waishandira; naRazaro wakange ari umwe wevakange vagere naye pakudya.
3 Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Zvino Maria akatora paundi yemafuta enadhi amene, ane mutengo mukuru, akazodza tsoka dzaJesu, akapusika tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake; imba ikazadzwa nekunhuhwira kwemafuta.
4 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
Naizvozvo umwe wevadzidzi vake, Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni wakange achazomutengesa, akati:
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
Mafuta awa aregerei kutengeswa nemadhenario mazana matatu, akapiwa varombo?
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
Wakarevawo izvi, kwete kuti wakava nehanya nevarombo, asi nokuti waiva mbavha, uye waiva nechikwama, achitakura zvaiiswamo.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati: Muregei; wamachengetedzera zuva rekuvigwa kwangu.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
Nokuti varombo munavo nguva dzese, asi ini hamuneni nguva dzese.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Naizvozvo chaunga chikuru cheVaJudha chakaziva kuti aripo; ndokuuya kwete nekuda kwaJesu chete, asi kuti vaonewo Razaro, waakange amutsa kubva kuvakafa.
10 But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
Asi vapristi vakuru vakarangana kuti vauraye Razarowo;
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.
nokuti nekuda kwake vazhinji veVaJudha vaibva, vachitenda kuna Jesu.
12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Chifume chaunga chikuru chakange chauya kumutambo, chakati chanzwa kuti Jesu anouya kuJerusarema,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
vakatora matavi emichindwe, vakabuda kunomuchingamidza, vakadanidzira vachiti: Hosana! Wakaropafadzwa anouya muzita raIshe, Mambo waIsraeri.
14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
Zvino Jesu awana dhongwana, akagara pamusoro paro, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
Usatya, mukunda weZiyoni; tarira, Mambo wako anouya, agere pamusoro pedhongwana rembongoro.
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
Vadzidzi vake havana kunzwisisa zvinhu izvi pakutanga; asi Jesu wakati akudzwa, ipapo vakazorangarira kuti zvinhu izvi zvakange zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, uye vakange vamuitira zvinhu izvi.
17 The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
Naizvozvo chaunga chaiva naye paakadana Razaro kuti abude muguva, nekumumutsa kubva kuvakafa, chakapupura.
18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
Saka chaunga chakamuchingamidzawo, nokuti vakange vanzwa kuti wakaita chiratidzo ichochi.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakataurirana, vachiti: Munoona kuti hamubatsiri chinhu; tarirai nyika inomutevera.
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
Zvino kwaiva nevamwe VaGiriki pakati pevakange vakwira kuti vanonamata kumutambo;
21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
ava ndokuuya kuna Firipi weBhetisaidha reGarirea, vakamukumbira vachiti: Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
Firipi akasvika akaudza Andiriya; uye Andiriya naFiripi vakaudzazve Jesu.
23 And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Jesu ndokuvapindura achiti: Awa rasvika rekuti Mwanakomana wemunhu akudzwe.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunze kwekuti tsanga yegorosi yawira muvhu ikafa, iyo inogara iri yega; asi kana ikafa, inobereka chibereko chakawanda.
25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios )
Anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; neanovenga upenyu hwake panyika ino achahuchengetedza kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios )
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
Kana munhu achindishandira, ngaanditevere; nepandiri ini, achavapowo muranda wangu. Uye kana munhu achindishandira, Baba vachamukudza.
27 "Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.
Ikozvino mweya wangu unotambudzika; zvino ndichatii? Baba, ndiponesei paawa rino. Asi nekuda kweizvi ndasvika paawa rino.
28 Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
Baba, kudzai zita renyu. Naizvozvo inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga, richiti: Ndarikudzawo, uye ndicharikudzazve.
29 The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
Naizvozvo chaunga chakange chimire chichizvinzwa chakati: Kwatinhira. Vamwe vakati: Mutumwa wataura naye.
30 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesu akapindura akati: Inzwi iri harina kuuya nekuda kwangu, asi nekuda kwenyu.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Ikozvino pane mutongo wenyika ino; ikozvino mutungamiriri wenyika ino achadzingirwa panze.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
Neni, kana ndasimudzwa panyika, ndichakwevera vese kwandiri.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Wakarevawo izvi achiratidza kuti waizofa nerufu rwakadini.
34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn )
Chaunga chakamupindura chichiti: Isu takanzwa pamurairo kuti Kristu achagara nekusingaperi; zvino imwi moreva sei kuti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kusimudzwa? Ndiani uyu Mwanakomana wemunhu? (aiōn )
35 Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Pachine chinguvana chiedza chichinemwi. Fambai muchine chiedza, zvimwe rima ringakukundai; uye anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
Muchine chiedza, tendai kuchiedza, kuti muve vana vechiedza. Jesu wakareva zvinhu izvi, akabva, akazvivanza kwavari.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
Kunyange akange aita zviratidzo zvizhinji kudai pamberi pavo, havana kutenda kwaari;
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
kuti shoko raIsaya muporofita rizadziswe, raakareva achiti: Ishe, ndiani wakatenda mharidzo yedu? Neruoko rwaIshe rwakazarurirwa kuna ani?
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
Naizvozvo vakange vasingagoni kutenda, nokuti Isaya wakatizve:
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
Wakapofumadza meso avo, akaomesa moyo wavo; kuti varege kuona nemeso kana kunzwisisa nemoyo, vagotendeuka, ndigovaporesa.
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Isaya wakareva zvinhu izvi, paakaona kubwinya kwake, ndokutaura pamusoro pake.
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
Asi kunyange zvakadaro, vazhinji vevatongiwo vakatenda kwaari; asi nekuda kweVaFarisi vakange vasingabvumi, kuti varege kubudiswa musinagoge;
43 for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
nokuti vakada rukudzo rwevanhu kupfuura rukudzo rwaMwari.
44 Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
Zvino Jesu wakadanidzira akati: Anotenda kwandiri, haatendi kwandiri, asi kune wakandituma.
45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
Neanoona ini, anoona wakandituma.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
Ini ndakauya ndiri chiedza panyika, kuti ani nani anotenda kwandiri arege kugara murima.
47 And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Uye kana ani nani achinzwa mashoko angu akasatenda, handimutongi ini; nokuti handina kuuya kuti nditonge nyika, asi kuti ndiponese nyika.
48 He who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on the last day.
Uyo anondiramba asingagamuchiri mashoko angu, ane anomutonga; shoko randakareva, ndiro richamutonga nezuva rekupedzisira.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Nokuti ini handina kureva zvemusoro wangu, asi Baba vakandituma, ndivo vakandipa murairo, zvandichareva nezvandichataura.
50 I know that his commandment is everlasting life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak." (aiōnios )
Uye ndinoziva kuti murairo wavo upenyu husingaperi; naizvozvo ini zvandinotaura, saBaba zvavakataura kwandiri, saizvozvo ndinotaura. (aiōnios )
