John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Tsopano munthu wina dzina lake Lazaro anadwala. Iye anali wa ku Betaniya, mudzi wa Mariya ndi mchemwali wake Marita.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
Mariyayo ndi yemwe uja amene anadzoza Ambuye ndi mafuta onunkhira napukuta mapazi ake ndi tsitsi lake. Lazaro wodwalayo anali mlongo wake.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
Choncho alongo ake anatumiza mawu kwa Yesu kuti, “Ambuye, uja amene Inu mumamukonda akudwala.”
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."
Atamva izi, Yesu anati, “Kudwalako safa nako. Koma akudwala kuti Mulungu alemekezedwe; ndi kuti Mwana wa Mulungu alemekezedwe chifukwa cha matendawo.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu anakonda Marita, mchemwali wake ndi Lazaro.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Koma atamva kuti Lazaro akudwala, Iye anakhalabe kumene anali masiku ena awiri.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
Kenaka anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Tiyeni tibwerere ku Yudeya.”
8 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
Ophunzira akewo anati, “Rabi, posachedwa pomwepa Ayuda anafuna kukugendani ndi miyala, koma Inu mukupitanso komweko?”
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 anayankha kuti, “Kodi sipali maora khumi ndi awiri pa tsiku? Munthu amene amayenda masana sapunthwa, popeza akuona chifukwa cha kuwala kwa dziko lapansi.
10 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
Koma amene akuyenda usiku amapunthwa, chifukwa kuwalako alibe.”
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."
Iye atatha kunena izi, anapitirira kuwawuza iwo kuti, “Bwenzi lathu Lazaro wagona tulo; koma Ine ndikupita kumeneko kukamudzutsa.”
12 Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
Ophunzira ake anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, ngati wagona adzapeza bwino.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Yesu ankayankhula za imfa yake koma ophunzira ake ankaganiza kuti amanena za tulo chabe.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
Ndipo kenaka anawawuza momveka kuti, “Lazaro wamwalira.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
Ine ndikukondwera chifukwa cha inu kuti kunalibe kumeneko; koma kuti mukakhulupirire tiyeni tipiteko.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
Pamenepo Tomasi, wotchedwa Didimo, anati kwa ophunzira anzake, “Tiyeni nafenso tipite, kuti tikafere naye pamodzi.”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Yesu atafika, anapeza kuti Lazaro anali atagona mʼmanda masiku anayi.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
Mudzi wa Betaniya unali pafupi ndi Yerusalemu pa mtunda wosachepera makilomita atatu,
19 Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
ndipo Ayuda ambiri anabwera kwa Marita ndi Mariya kudzawatonthoza pa imfa ya mʼbale wawo.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Pamene Marita anamva kuti Yesu akubwera, anapita kukakumana naye. Koma Mariya anatsala ku nyumba.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
Marita anati kwa Yesu, “Ambuye, mukanakhala muli kuno, mlongo wanga sakanamwalira.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
Koma ine ndikudziwa kuti ngakhale tsopano Mulungu adzakupatsani chilichonse chimene mudzamupempha.”
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
Yesu anati kwa iye, “Mlongo wako adzauka.”
24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
Marita anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti adzauka pa kuukanso pa tsiku lomaliza.”
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 anati kwa iye, “Ine ndine kuuka ndi moyo. Wokhulupirira Ine, angakhale amwalira adzakhala ndi moyo.
Aliyense amene ali ndi moyo ndi kukhulupirira Ine sadzamwalira. Kodi iwe ukukhulupirira izi?” (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."
Marita anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Inde Ambuye, ine ndikukhulupirira kuti ndinu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu, amene abwera mʼdziko lapansi.”
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."
Ndipo iye atanena izi anabwerera ndi kukayitana mchemwali wake Mariya namuyankhula monongʼona pambali, nati, “Aphunzitsi abwera ndipo akukuyitana.”
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
Mariya atamva izi, anayimirira mofulumira napita kwa Iye.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
Tsopano nʼkuti Yesu asanalowe mʼmudzi, koma anali akanali pa malo pamene Marita anakumana naye.
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.
Ayuda amene ankamutonthoza Mariya mʼnyumba, anaona mmene iye anayimira mofulumira ndi kutuluka kunja, iwo anamutsata akuganizira kuti ankapita ku manda kukalirira kumeneko.
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."
Mariya anafika pamalo pamene panali Yesu ndipo atamuona, anagwa pa mapazi ake ndipo anati, “Ambuye mukanakhala muli kuno mlongo wanga sakanamwalira.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
Yesu ataona iye akulira, ndi Ayuda amene anabwera naye akuliranso, anakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kuvutika mu mzimu.
34 and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
Iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mwamuyika kuti?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ambuye tiyeni mukaone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu analira.
36 The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
Pamenepo Ayuda anati, “Taonani mmene Iye anamukondera Lazaro!”
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?"
Koma ena a iwo anati, “Iye amatsekula maso a munthu wosaona, kodi sakanakhoza kuletsa kuti munthu uyu asamwalire?”
38 So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Yesu atakhudzidwanso kwambiri anafika ku manda. Manda akewo anali phanga ndipo anatsekapo ndi mwala.
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."
Yesu anati, “Chotsani mwala.” Marita mlongo wa womwalirayo anati, “Koma Ambuye, nthawi ino wayamba kununkha, pakuti wakhala mʼmenemu masiku anayi.”
40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
Kenaka Yesu anati, “Kodi Ine sindinakuwuze kuti ngati iwe ukhulupirira, udzaona ulemerero wa Mulungu?”
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
Choncho iwo anachotsa mwalawo. Kenaka Yesu anayangʼana kumwamba ndikuti, “Atate, Ine ndikukuthokozani chifukwa mumandimvera.
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."
Ine ndimadziwa kuti Inu mumandimvera nthawi zonse, koma Ine ndanena izi chifukwa cha anthu amene ayima pano, kuti iwo akhulupirire kuti Inu munandituma Ine.”
43 When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
Yesu atanena izi, Iye anayitana ndi mawu ofuwula kuti, “Lazaro, tuluka!”
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."
Munthu womwalirayo anatuluka, womangidwa miyendo ndi manja ndi nsalu za ku manda, ndi nkhope yake yokulungidwa nsalu. Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Mʼmasuleni, ndipo muloleni apite.”
45 Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
Choncho Ayuda ambiri amene anabwera kudzamuchereza Mariya ndi kuona zimene Yesu anachita anamukhulupirira Iye.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Koma ena a iwo anapita kwa Afarisi ndi kukawawuza zimene Yesu anachita.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Kenaka akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi anayitanitsa msonkhano wa akulu olamulira. Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ife tikuchita chiyani? Pano pali munthu uyu akuchita zizindikiro zodabwitsa zambiri.
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."
Ngati ife timuleka kuti apitirize chotere, aliyense adzamukhulupirira Iye, ndipo kenaka Aroma adzabwera ndi kudzatenga malo athu pamodzi ndi dziko lathu.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
Kenaka mmodzi wa iwo, dzina lake Kayafa, amene anali mkulu wa ansembe chaka chimenecho, anayankhula kuti, “Inu simukudziwa kanthu kalikonse!
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."
Inu simukuzindikira kuti kuli bwino kwa inu kuti munthu mmodzi afe mʼmalo mwa anthu kusiyana ndi kuti mtundu wonse uwonongeke.”
51 Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Iye sananene izi mwa iye yekha, koma monga mkulu wa ansembe chaka chimenecho ananenera kuti Yesu anayanera kufera mtundu wa Ayuda,
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
ndipo osati mtundu okhawo komanso kwa ana ena a Mulungu onse obalalikana, kuti awabweretse pamodzi ndi kuwapanga kukhala amodzi.
53 So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
Choncho kuyambira tsiku limeneli iwo anakonzekera za kuti amuphe.
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.
Chifukwa cha ichi Yesu sanayendenso moonekera pakati pa Ayuda. Mʼmalo mwake Iye anapita ku chigawo cha kufupi ndi chipululu, ku mudzi wa Efereimu, kumene Iye anakhalako ndi ophunzira ake.
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Nthawi ya Paska wa Ayuda itayandikira, ambiri anakwera kupita ku Yerusalemu kuchokera ku madera a ku midzi chifukwa cha mwambo wa kuyeretsedwa Paska asanafike.
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?"
Iwo anapitiriza kumufunafuna Yesu, ndipo pamene ankayimirira mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Kodi ukuganiza chiyani? Kodi Iye sabwera konse kuphwando?”
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.
Koma akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi anapereka lamulo kuti ngati wina aliyense adziwe kumene kunali Yesu, iye akawawuze kuti akamugwire.
