John 11
1 But there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Jua ba bo ye Betani, k bi yigu Lasaar, li longbanli bo tie Maari yeni o ninsalo Mart dogu i.
2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Lan Maari n bo jogi i tolaali Jesu ki gɔ tugi o yudi ki fiali jesu taana, o ninjua n bo yia k yi Lasaar.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
O ninsiabi bo sɔni ki ban waani jesu k o dɔnli buado naa paa.
4 And Jesus hearing this said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.
Jesu n gbadi li maami k o jiini: o yianu naa tie mi kuumi yaali ka, ama, ti Diedo diema nni, ki fidi, k o nul bijua n la ti yudandi.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yeni lan ya kuli, Jesu bo buadi Marti yeni o ninsalo yeni Lasaar.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days.
Ya yognu k o gbadi ki Lasaar gbanu ki dagdi, o gɔ da bo ki luo ki tieni daana lie naani k o bo ye yeni.
7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Yeni k o maadi o yegnkaabi, tin lebdi mani Jude.
8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews but just now were seeking to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?
K o yegnkaabi maadi o: canba, mɔlane k sufi nba bo kpaani ban ja ŋa a tana, k a gɔ yedi k tin lebdi Jude i!
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world;
Ki Jesu ŋmiani: t ki pia piiga n kudi lie ka yienu nni i? nul ya cuoni yienu, k o maadi bonli ki dugni o nua ŋanduna ne yinyiemi.
10 but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth; because the light is not in him.
Ama, nul ya cuoni bonbonli nni, o maadi ki dugni o ki yegi yeni yinyiemi ba kuli.
11 This he spoke, and afterwards said to them, Our friend Lazarus hath fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
Wan pua bi li maakpanjami ki gbeni, k o maadi: Lasaar, ti dɔnli, guandi, ama n ba find o.
12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he hath fallen asleep, he will recover.
K o yegnkaabi maadi o: yonbidaan, o ya guandi, o bi paagi.
13 But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the taking of rest in sleep.
Jesu bo bua yedi ba k o kpe i, ama k ban maal k o maadi guamɔnbi.
14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
Yeni ki Jesu maadi a sala siigni: Lasaar kpe o.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there; that ye may believe; but let us go to him.
I ya po, k fidi k yin tuo yeni i mɔni, li tie n po pamanli yeni min bo ki ye. Ama tin gedi mani o den po.
16 Then said Thomas, who was called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Be ya po i k Toma, yua bo tami k yesu yiedi bo maadi o liebi, tin ŋɔdi mani ki mɔ kpe yeno.
17 Having come, therefore, Jesus found that he had been four days in the tomb.
Jesu den pundi ki sua ki Lasaar kpe o ki bedi hali dana naa.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
Nani Betani n bo ki fagi yeni Serusalemi yeni,
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Sufi nba boncianli bo gadi ki bua tieni Marti yeni Mari i kuufuondi.
20 Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but Mary continued sitting in the house.
Lan ya yognu ki Marti gbadi ki jesu pundi, k o hedi o liigi bo, l bo sua ki Mari kaa o bulñɔbu nni
21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
Marti maadi Jesu: yonbidaan a ya bo ye ne, n ninjua bo kan kpe.
22 and even now I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee.
Ama, yeni lan ya kuli, n bani k a ya buali yaali ti Diedo, ti Diedo ba teni a.
23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother will rise again.
Jesu ŋmiani o: a ninjua bu yiedi.
24 Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
N bani, Marti ŋmianio, o bu yiedi li daajijuogi daali.
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live;
Jesu maadi: min tie o yiedo, ki tie li miali. Yua pia li dandanli ki duu n po bu la li miali, ba o ya kpe;
yua fuo ki dug n po, kan bangi ki kpe. A dug li po i? (aiōn g165)
27 She saith to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, he who was to come into the world.
Ke o maadi o: Nn, yonbidaano, n bani ke a tie Kiristo, U Tienu bijua, yua ba cua li ŋandunli nni.
28 And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here and calleth for thee.
Wan yedi lani, ke o siedi ki gedi ki ban yini o ninsalo Maari suoo. Ki yedi o, “Canbáa cua, ki yi a.”
29 She, when she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him.
Wan gbadi lani, ke o kudi ki fii, ki gedi o kani.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
Li yognu, ke Jesu da ki pundi u dogu nni, ki da li ye Marta ń tuogi o naankani yeni.
31 The Jews then who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
Juufinba yaaba n bi ye yeni o li dieli nni, ki baagi o yeni ń la ke o kudi ki fii, ki ñani yeni, ke bi ŋɔdi o, ki maali ke o caa li kakuli kani ki baa buudi i.
32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Maari ń cua Jesu ń ye naani, ki la o, ke o baa ki gbaani o taana po, ki yedi o, “O Diedo, a ya bi ye ne i, n ninjua bi kan kpe.”
33 Jesus therefore when he saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, was greatly moved in his spirit, and much troubled,
Jesu ń la ke Maari buudi ke juufinba mo buudi, ke mi maalma kua o, ke o yama ŋmadi;
34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
Ke o maadi, “I piini o le i?, ke bi maadi o, “O Diedo, cua na ki diidi.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu bo buudi.
36 The Jews therefore said, See, how he loved him!
Ke juufinba yedi, “Diidi mani wan den bua Lasaari maama!”
37 But some of them said, Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have also caused that this man should not have died?
Ama ke nitianba maadi, “Ya nilo n luodi yua n mali juamo yeni, bi kan fidi ki cedi o nilo ń da kpe ee?”
38 Jesus therefore, again greatly moved within himself, cometh to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Ke li bonli kua Jesu, ke o gbanu dá li ŋɔa, ke o gedi li kuli kani. Li den tie tanfalu i, ke ku tangu bii bu bulñɔbu.
39 Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time the body is offensive; for he hath been dead four days.
Ke Marta, o kpiemo ninsalo yedi Jesu, O Diedo, ya yognu ne o nuugi o, tin pii o, dana na n yeni.
40 Jesus saith to her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?
Ke Jesu yedi o, “N ki yedi a ke a ya dugi n po, a ba la U Tienu kpiagdi ii?”
41 They therefore took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
Ke bi biidi ku tangu, Ke Jesu yaadi ki diidi poli, ki yedi, “N Báa, N tiendi a balga yeni ŋan cengi n maama.
42 Yet I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me.
N bani ke a li cengi n maama yogu kuli, ama, li tie ku niwulgu yugu n taani ki lindi nni ne penio i ke n maadi yeni, ke ban la ki dugi ke fini n sɔni nni.”
43 And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!
Wan yedi lani, ke o tandi ki maadi, “Lasaari, Fii ki ña na!”
44 He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.
Ke o kpiemo fii, ki ñani; ke o nui yeni o taana fiini a caba, ke li cabli bobni o nunga. Ke Jesu yedi ba, “findi findi mani o, ki ŋa wan ya caa.”
45 Many of the Jews therefore who had come to Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him.
Lani ke juufinba boncianli yaaba n bo cua Maari kani, ki la Jesu ń bo tieni yaali, ji bo dugi o po.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
Ama, nitianba guani ki lebdi farisienba kani, ki togdi ba Jesu ń tieni yaali.
47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs?
Lanyapo i ke salga yidkaaba yudanba yeni farisienba taani yikodanba tantaanli, ki yedi, “Ti ba tieni ledi i? O nilo ne tiendi yaalidgu bona boncianla
48 If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
Ti ya ŋa o yeni, ke o tie wan bua yaali, bi niba kuli baa dugi o po i; Roma yaaba ba cua ki fie ti tinfanma yeni ti dogtieba i.”
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high-priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all;
Ama, ke nilo ye bi siiga ki yi Kayifa, ki tie lanyognu salga yidkaaba yudaano, yedi ba, “Yi ki bani libakuli.
50 nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.
I ki bani ke niyendo ya kpe bi dogtieba kuli po, li baa tu yeni ban buoni u dogu kui ii.
51 And this he spoke not from himself; but being high-priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
Ama, wani obá ka bo maadi li maama. Wan den tie salga yidkaaba yudaano yeni, bi den pua o sawali ke Jesu ba kpe ki fie bi niba miali.
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad.
Li ki tie bi dogtieba baba po ka, ama, o kuuma ba cedi U Tienu bila yaaba n yayadi ŋanduna nni yeni ń guani ki taani kaanyendu.
53 Therefore from that day forth they consulted together to put him to death.
Lanwani ii, li daali ligi i, ke bi cili ki bobindi ban ba tieni maama, ki kpa Jesu.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed thence to the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there abode with the disciples.
Lanyapo i ke Jesu ji den ki wangi o yuli jufinba nitaanli nni, ama, o den fuadi ki gedi ku tinpiengu po, ya dogu nni ke bi yi Efrayimi. O ji den ye lanpo i, yeni o ŋɔdkaaba.
55 And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Juufinba pendima jaanma ji den nagdi, ki juufinba boncianla den ña dogtiani, ki do ki caa Jerusalema, ki ba ŋuudi ki ŋanbi bi yula.
56 They sought therefore for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? that he will not come to the feast?
Bi den nua Jesu, ki maadi bi ŋmiali nni, ban den ye ku jaandiegu nni ya yognu, “I maalma tie be i? Ke o kan cua mi jaanma?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should give information, that they might seize him.
Ke salga yidkaaba yudanba yeni Farisienba teni bu ñɔbu, ke nilo ya la Jesu naani, wan tuali ba, ban cuo o.
