< John 12 >

1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܫܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܦܨܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ
2 So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him.
ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܬܐ ܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܤܡܝܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܥܡܗ
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.
ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܫܩܠܬ ܫܛܝܦܬܐ ܕܒܤܡܐ ܕܢܪܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܐ ܤܓܝ ܕܡܝܐ ܘܡܫܚܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܝܚܗ ܕܒܤܡܐ
4 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܕܒܢ ܡܫܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܬܠܬ ܡܐܐ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ
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.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܓܠܘܤܩܡܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܐ
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܒܘܩܝܗ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܒܘܪܝ ܢܛܪܬܗ
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ
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.
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
10 But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
ܘܐܬܪܥܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.
ܡܛܠ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ
12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
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."
ܫܩܠܘ ܤܘܟܐ ܕܕܩܠܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ
14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
ܐܫܟܚ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܒܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܐ ܡܠܟܟܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܟܝ ܘܪܟܝܒ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܒܪ ܐܬܢܐ
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.
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܝܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ
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.
ܘܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܩܒܪܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܐ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܒܬܪܗ
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܤܠܩܘ ܠܡܤܓܕ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ
21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ
23 And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
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.
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܦܪܕܬܐ ܕܚܛܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܦܠܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܦܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܝܬܝܐ
25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܤܢܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܛܪܝܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
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.
ܐܢ ܠܝ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܫܡܫ ܢܝܩܪܝܘܗܝ ܐܒܐ
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.
ܗܫܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܗܐ ܫܓܝܫܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܦܨܢܝ ܡܢ ܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ
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."
ܐܒܐ ܫܒܚ ܫܡܟ ܘܩܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܒܚܬ ܘܬܘܒ ܡܫܒܚ ܐܢܐ
29 The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܥܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ
30 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܫܬܕܐ ܠܒܪ
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
ܘܐܢܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܬܪܝܡܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܓܕ ܟܠܢܫ ܠܘܬܝ
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܐܬ
34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܚܢܢ ܫܡܥܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܩܘܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܕܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ (aiōn g165)
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.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܝܠ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܗܠܟܘ ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܢܕܪܟܟܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ
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.
ܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܬܛܫܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
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?"
ܕܬܬܡܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܗܝܡܢ ܠܫܡܥܢ ܘܕܪܥܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܢ ܐܬܓܠܝ
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ
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.
ܕܥܘܪܘ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܚܫܟܘ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܒܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܘܐܤܐ ܐܢܘܢ
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܘܡܠܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ
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,
ܐܦ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ
43 for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
ܪܚܡܘ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
44 Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܚܙܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܐ ܢܩܘܐ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ
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.
ܘܡܢ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
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.
ܡܢ ܕܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܡܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܕܕܐܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܠܠܬ ܗܝ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
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.
ܕܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܡܠܠ
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 g166)
ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܗ ܚܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ (aiōnios g166)
