John 11
1 Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
Muntu yumu yawamshema Lazaru, kalikaliti Betaniya, kaweriti mlweri. Betaniya lushi lwawalikaliti Mariya na Marita muhasha gwakuwi.
2 This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
Mariya ndo uliya yakamswagiti uturi Mtuwa na kumpukuta kwa viri zyakuwi. Ayu ndo Lazaru kaka gwakuwi yakaweriti mlweri.
3 The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
Wahasha watuma ujumbi kwa Yesu, “Mtuwa, ganja gwaku yagumfira, mlweri!”
4 and, when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honor of God, in order that the Son of God may be honored through it.”
Yesu pakapikaniriti aga, katakula, “Ulweri awu hapeni hujegi kuhowa kwa Lazaru, ira ndo kwajili ya kumkwisa Mlungu na kwa mana ayi Mwana gwa Mlungu kakwiswi.”
5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu kamfiriti Marita na muhasha gwakuwi pamuhera na Lazaru.
6 Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
Pakapatiti shisoweru handa Lazaru mlweri, kulikala pahala panu kwa mashaka mawili nentu.
7 Then, after that, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
Shakapanu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Tuwuyi kayi Yudeya!”
8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?”
Wafundwa wamgambira, “Mfunda! Shipindi shifupi hera shipita Wayawudi wafira kukuguma mabuwi, na gwenga gufira kugenda kayi aku?”
9 “Are not there twelve hours in the day?” answered Jesus. “If someone walks about in the daytime, they don’t stumble, because they can see the light of the sun;
Yesu kankula, “Lishaka lyana saa lilongu na mawili ndiri, ndo hangu? Pakagendagenda paliwala hapeni kawezi kulikwala, kawona kulangala kwa pasipanu.
10 but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.”
Kumbiti muntu pakagendagenda pashiru katalikwala, Toziya kulangala kwahera.”
11 And, when he had said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may wake him.”
Yesu katakuliti hangu na pakamaliriti, kawagambira, “Ganja gwetu Lazaru kagonja, kumbiti neni nankugenda na kumyumusiya.”
12 “If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
Wafundwa wakuwi wamgambira, “Mtuwa, handa yomberi kagonja su hakaponiziwi.”
13 But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
Kumbiti Yesu kaweriti kankutakula kuusu kuhowa kwakuwi, womberi waliholiti kuwera kankutakula kuusu kugonja mbota.
14 Then he said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead;
Yesu kawagambira pota kufifa, “Lazaru kahowa,
15 and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him.”
kumbiti nemelera kwa ajili ya mwenga handa mweri ndiri aku, su mpati kujimira. Haya tugendeni kwakuwi.”
16 At this, Thomas, who was called ‘The Twin,’ said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
Tomasi yawamshema mawira kawagambira wantumini wamonga, “Tugendeni woseri pamuhera na mfunda tukahowi!”
17 When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
Yesu pakafikiti aku, kamwoniti Lazaru wamtula kala mlipumba kwa mashaka msheshi.
18 Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
Shijiji sha Betaniya shiweriti pakwegera na Yerusalemu utali wa kilumita ntatu,
19 a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
na Wayawudi wavuwa wiziti kumlola Marita na Mariya kuwapanani ushiwa kwa kuhowa kaka gwawu.
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
Shipindi Marita pakapikaniriti handa Yesu kaweriti kamkwiza, kagenda kumwanka, kumbiti Mariya kasigaliti ukaya.
21 “Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
Marita kamgambira Yesu, “Mtuwa handa gwangaweriti panu, kaka gwangu mekahowiti ndiri!
22 Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
Kumbiti nuvimana handa ata vinu shoseri shagufira kumluwa Mlungu, hakakupi.”
23 “Your brother will rise to life,” said Jesus.
Yesu kamgambira, “Kaka gwaku hakawuyi mkomu kayi.”
24 “I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at the Last day.”
Marita kamwankula, “Nuvimana handa hawazyuki shipindi sha uzyukisiwu, mulishaka lya kupelera.”
25 “I am the resurrection and the life,” said Jesus. “He who believes in me will live, though he die;
Yesu kamgambira, “Neni ndo uzyukisiya na ukomu. Yakanjimira neni ata tembera hakahowi, hakalikali.
Na kila yakalikala na kunjimira, hapeni kahowi. Hashi, gujimira aga?” (aiōn g165)
27 “Yes Master,” she answered. “I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
Marita kamwankula, “Yina, Mtuwa! Neni njimira handa gwenga ndo Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu, uliya yakiza pasipanu.”
28 After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, “The teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
Marita pakatakuliti aga, kagenditi na kumshema Mariya mlongu gwakuwi, kamgambira pagweka, “mfunda kapanu na kafira kukuwona.”
29 As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
Nayomberi pakapikaniriti aga, kamukamu kagoloka, kamgendera Yesu.
30 Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
Yesu kaweriti keniyingiri mushijiji, kumbiti kaweriti palaa palii Marita pakamwankiti.
31 So the people, who were in the house with Mary, comforting her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
Su, Wayawudi yawaweriti ukaya pamuhera na Mariya pawamnyamaziya muushiwa, pawamwoniti kagoloka na kulawa kunja vumu, wamwiziriti. Wavimaniti kaweriti kankugenda mulipumba kudaya.
32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. “Master,” she exclaimed, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died!”
Mariya pakasokiti pahala palii Yesu pakaweriti na kumwona, kasuntamala, kamgambira, “Mtuwa, handa gwangaweriti panu, kaka gwangu kangahowiti ndiri!”
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
Yesu pakamwoniti kankulira na Wayawudi walii wawiziti pamuhera nayomberi wankulira viraa, kamemiti na maholu na kuhinginika mumoyu.
34 “Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
Shakapanu kawakosiya, “Lipumba lya koshi?” Wamgambira, “Mtuwa, gwizi na gulori.”
35 Jesus burst into tears.
Yesu kalira.
36 “How he must have loved him!” the people exclaimed;
Su, Wayawudi watakula, “Mlori ntambu yakamfiriti!”
37 but some of them said, “Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?”
Kumbiti wamonga wawu watakula, “Hashi, ayu yakamtenditi katumuli masu lwisi uliya, kaweza ndiri kumtenda Lazaru nakahowi?”
38 Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
Su, Yesu kahinginika kayi mmoyu, kiziti mlipumba. Lipumba lyeni liweriti mpanga na liweriti ludiwirwa kwa libuwi.
39 “Move the stone away,” said Jesus. “Master,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.”
Yesu kalagaliriti, “Mliwusiyi libuwi ali!” Marita mlongu gwakuwi ayu yakahowiti kamgambira, “Mtuwa kanja kala kununka, kalikala mulipumba mashaka msheshi!”
40 “Didn’t I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?”
Yesu kamgambira, “Hashi, nukugambira ndiri handa pagujimira haguwoni ukwisa wa Mlungu?”
41 So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
Su waliwusiya libuwi lilii, Yesu kalola kumpindi, katakula, “Mayagashii Tati toziya gwenga gumpikanira.
42 I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.”
Nuvimana handa gumpikanira neni. Kumbiti ntakula aga toziya ya wantu awa wapala panu su wapati kujimira handa gwenga ndo yaguntumiti.”
43 Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”
Pakamaliriti kutakula aga, kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Lazaru! Gulawi kunja!”
44 The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “and let him go.”
Uliya yakaweriti kahowa kalawiti kunja, aku wamyopa sanda mmagulu na mmawoku na sheni shakuwi shigubikirwa. Yesu kawagambira, “Mumyopoli, mkamleki kagendi zyakuwi.”
45 In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
Su, Wayawudi wavuwa waweriti wamtyangira Mariya pawawoniti Yesu shintu gaa shakatenditi, na kumjimira.
46 Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
Kumbiti wamonga wawu wagenditi kwa Mafalisayu na wawagambira shitwatira ashi shakatenditi Yesu.
47 The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?
Mafalisayu na watambika wakulu waliwoniti Mwashizungu na watakula, “Tutendi shishi? Muntu ayu kankutenda mauzauza nentu.
48 If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our Temple and our nation.”
Patumleka hera wantu woseri hawamjimiri, womberi Warumi hawizi kuwalibisiya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu gwetu na isi yetu!”
49 One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
Panu yumu gwawu, yawamchema Kayafa, ndo kiwiti mtambika mkulu wa shinja ashi, kawagambira, “Mwenga muvimana ndiri shintu!
50 “You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”
Hashi, mwona ndiri handa ndo mbaka kwamwenga muntu yumu kahowi kwa ajili ya wantu, kuliku isi yoseri ipalanganyika?”
51 Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation –
Yomberi katakula ndiri hangu ntambu yakafiriti mweni, ira kaweriti mtambika mkulu shinja ashi su katungiti handa Yesu hakahowi toziya ya wantu wa Isi ya Shiyawudi,
52 And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.
na toziya ndiri gweka yawu hera, kumbiti kapati kuwajega pamuhera munshimba yimu yaipalanganyikiti kwa wantu wa Mlungu.
53 So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
Su, kwanjira lishaka ali watuwa wa Shiyawudi watenda mipangu gwa kumlaga Yesu.
54 In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the people any more, but left and went into the country bordering on the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
Su, Yesu hapeni kagendigendi kayi paweru muisi ya Wayawudi, kumbiti kawukiti panu kagenditi pahala pagwekera na kushiwala, mlushi lwa walushema Efrayimu. Kalikaliti aku pamuhera na wafundwa wakuwi.
55 But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their purification, before the Festival began.
Shipindi sha msambu sha Wayawudi sha Pasaka shiweriti pakwegera na wantu wavuwa walawa muisi wagenditi Yerusalemu su walipungi pa msambu agu.
56 So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts, “What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?”
Su, waweriti wankumsakula Yesu. Na womberi pawaliwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, walikosiyana, “Mulihola hashi? Nakaka hakizi ndiri ku msambu agu, awu ndiri?”
57 The chief priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if anyone learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayu walagalira kuwera, handa muntu yoseri pakavimaniti pahala pakaweriti Yesu, kalazimika kutakula su wapati kumbata.
