John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
U igun wa ba yo ni Lazaru, a lo'a hi indji u Baitanya, ni gbu ba Mariyamu ni vayi ma Marta.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
Mariyamu wa gban yen ni Bachi na se za ma ni futu ma, wa vayi Lazaru si lo'a.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
Imri vayi maba ton ba adu hi ni Yesu, andi, “Bachi, ya, indji wa'u son si to.”
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."
Wawo, na tre, “Lilo mba ni nji hi kwu na nitu gbere san rji ni ndu vren Rji ndu fe gbere san ni tu ma.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu ni son Marta, ni vayi ma vren wa ni Lazaru.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Wa a wo ndi Lazaru silo'a, na kri ti ivi hari ni bubu wa ahe.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
Ni kogon ki, wa hla, ni almajere ma, “Biri ki hi ni Yahudiya ngari.”
8 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Mala, Yahudawa bari si wa ndi ba ta ni tita, u la ni son k'ma hi ni ki?
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.
Yesu tre niba, andi inton u kpan rji ana awa wulon don ha na? Indji wa a zren ni ri, ana kubu zana, ni wa asi to kpan u gbungbulu yi.
10 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
Indji wa ni zren ni chu, ani kubu za nitu wa ikpan na he na.
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."
A tre kpe biyi ni kogon biyi, a hla ni bawu, “Ikpan mbu Lazaru a si kru nna, mi si hi bubu shime lunde ni na.
12 Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
U almajere ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ani ta si kruna, e ani shime ni nna'a.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Yesu si tre ni tu kwu Lazaru u ba si nda asi tre nitu kruna u kusimu.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
U Yesu a mamla hla ni bawu ndi, “Lazaru kwu.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
Mi ngyiri ni tubi, niwa mina he na ni ndu kpanyeme. Biri ki hi niwu.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
Toma, wa ba yo ndi vren u hlen hen, a hla ni mburualmajere ba ndu baba hi ngame na hi kwu ni Yesu.”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Wa Yesu aye, u wa ye to Lazaru ati za'a ni be ye.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
Baitanya ahe whewhre ni Urushalima, avi zren fifie me ni tsutsu mba.
19 Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Yahudawa gbugbuwu ba ye ni ye chiMaryamu mba Marta ni kwu Lazaru.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Wa Marta wo andi Yesu ni ye, na luhi ni ndu wawu hi same wu'a u Maryamu a son zu ni miko.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
Marta hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, una he nita ni lalon mu, vayi mu ana kwu na.”
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
Zizan me mi to ikpe wa u bre Rji ani no'u.”
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
Yesu hla niwu, vayi me ni ta shime.
24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
U Marta hla niwu, “Mi to ani ta shime chachu klekle.”
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Yesu hla niwu, “Ime yi mi ta shime u klekle, Ime yi mi re (iviri), indji wa a kpanyeme ni me, ani ta kwu, ani ta shime;
ni indji wa ahe ni re (iviri), na kpanyeme ni me, ana kwu na; u kpanyeme ni wa?” (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."
U wa hla niwu, “E, Bachi, mi kpanyeme andi iwuyi u Almasihu, Vren Rji, iwa ani ye ni gbungbulu'a.
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."
Ni wa a hla naki, na kma hi ni vayi ma Maryamu, na yo ti gigran, na hla, “Mala ye ri ye, na ni yo.”
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
Wa a wo naki, wa lunde gbagbla hi niwu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
Yesu na ri ni vi gbu'a rina, ahe ni bubu wa Iwa ka same ni wu'a.
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.
Ni Yahudawa wa ba he baba Maryamu biwa ba ye chi ba ni kwu'a, bato lu rju ni miko gbagbla me, u ba lu hu, ni ban andi a rju ni bubu yi ni nyu be.
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."
Wa a ka ri ni bubu wa Yesu he'a na ka Joku niwu ni za ma, na hla, “Bachi, una he nita, vayimuy ana kwu na.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
Wa Yesu ato'u si yi, ni Yahudawa biwa ba hu'a, i wa kpere ni Ruhu na lo ni suron;
34 and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
iwa tre, bika yo ni ntsen? “U ba hla niwu, “Bachi, ye to.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu yi.
36 The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
U Yahudawa ba ba hla ndi, “toh yanda ani son Lazaru!”
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?"
Ba mba ba tre, “Wawu igu yi wa a ya no indji u fyen to bubu'a, ani na ya u gu hi bubu kwu na?
38 So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Yesu he ni mi si lo suron ni tu ma, na hi ni be'a. Ibe'a a he ni ko fron tita u ba ka he ni tita.
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."
U Yesu tre, “Ban tita yi rju.” Marta vayi Lazaru wa a kwu a, a hla ni Yesu, “Bachi, zizan ikon kmo a gla ye niwa a ti ivi nzah ni kwu.
40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
Yesu hla niwu, mina hla niwu ikpe wa u kpanyeme u to nikon u Rji'a na?
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
U ba ban tita rju, Yesu zun shishi na tre, “Iti, mi ngyiri niwu niwa u wo me.”
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."
Mi to wa u wo me ni ton wawu, nitu son yi wa gyen klan kagon mu yi mi tre wa, ni ndu ba kpanyeme andi ahi wuyi u ton me.”
43 When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
Ni wa a tre kle, na tre gbame, Lazaru rju”
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."
U ndji wa a kwu'a a lu rju, u za ma ni wo ma ba he ni lilo'o ni pri, shishima he ni kika ni gbanjan nklon. Yesu hla bawu, “Bika siwu, ndu hi.”
45 Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
Gbugbuwu ni mi Yahudawa wa ba ye ni Maryamu ba to ikpe wa Yesu ti'a u ba kpanyeme niwu.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
U bari ba kma hi naka hla ni Farisawa ikpe wa Yesu a ti'a.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
U Firistoci bi nigon,'a ni Farisawa ba yo indji bi kpanchi'a shuti buburi, u ba tre, ageri kita?” igu yi ani ti gban bi babran.
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."
Ki ta kadon naki, indji ba kpa'u nyeme, Romawa ba ye kpa bubu mbu, ni ndji mbu.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
Naki, iri ni mi mba kayatas kena wa ndi ahi kikle Firist ni se kima, a hla bawu, “Bi na to kpe na.
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."
Bi na mla ya a bi zan ni ndu indji riri kwu ni tu indji, ni wa indji wawu ba sutuna.”
51 Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
A hla ki, ana nitu ma kankrji ma na, ani tu iwa a hi kikle Firist, a to tsu ndi Yesu ni yi ni kwu ni tu ndji;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
ana nitu indji kankrji na, anitu ndu ba shi imri Irji ti ni buburi biwa ba lu vra kagon.
53 So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
Rji ni chachu ki na lu ni tsikpa bubu wa ndu ba wu Yesu.
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.
Rji ni ki Yesu na la ni zren ni rira ni mi Yahudawa na. Wa ala kma hi ni kalan ri whiwhre ni miji ni gburi wa ba yo Ifraimu. Ni mu a son ni almajere ma.
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Igan u ru gran (indji ketarewa) u Yahudawa a tewhre, gbugbu ba hi Urushalima rji ni klan meme'a hi ri ndu ivi idiri ni ndu ba kati tsatsra.
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?"
U lu ri wa Yesu, na ni tre ni kpa mba niwa ba kri ni ni hekeli andi, “Angye bi ki rhimre? Ana ye ni idin na?
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.
Kikle Firist ni Farisawa ba yo du andi ko ni zen wa ba to Yesu ba ka ye hla ni ndu ba vu.
