John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Kati na mboka Betani, ezalaki na mobali moko na kombo Lazare; azalaki kobela mpe azalaki na bandeko basi mibale: Mari mpe Marte.
2 And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Mari azali mwasi oyo asopelaki Nkolo malasi mpe asalelaki suki na ye mpo na kopangusa makolo ya Yesu, mpe Lazare oyo azali kobela azali ndeko na ye ya mobali.
3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Bandeko nyonso mibale ya basi batindaki maloba oyo epai ya Yesu: — Nkolo, moto oyo olingaka azali kobela.
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
Tango Yesu ayokaki yango, alobaki: — Bokono oyo ekoboma ye te, kasi ekopesa Nzambe nkembo mpe ekozala nzela mpo ete Mwana na Nzambe azwa lokumu.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Nzokande, Yesu azalaki kolinga makasi Marte, ndeko na ye ya mwasi mpe Lazare.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.
Atako ayokaki ete Lazare azali kobela, kasi avandaki lisusu mikolo mibale na esika oyo azalaki.
7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Bongo alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Tosengeli sik’oyo kozonga na Yuda.
8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Bayekoli balobaki na Ye: — Moteyi, wuta mokolo oyo Bayuda balingaki koboma Yo na mabanga, eleki nanu mikolo mingi te; bongo mpo na nini olingi lisusu kozonga kuna?
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.
Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, moyi ezalaka na bangonga zomi na mibale te? Soki moto atamboli na moyi, akobeta mabaku te, pamba te azali komona pole ya mokili oyo.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
Nzokande, soki moto atamboli na butu, akobeta penza mabaku, pamba te pole ezali te.
11 These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Sima na Ye koloba bongo, alobaki na bango lisusu: — Molingami na biso, Lazare, alali pongi; kasi nazali kokende kolamusa ye.
12 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.
Bayekoli balobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, soki azali kolala pongi, akobika na bokono na ye!
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
Solo, Yesu alingaki koloba ete Lazare akufi, kasi bayekoli bakanisaki ete azali kolobela nde pongi oyo tolalaka.
14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango na polele: — Lazare akufi.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Mpe nazali na esengo makasi mpo na bino lokola bozalaki kuna te, pamba te likambo oyo ekosala ete kondima na bino elendisama. Kasi sik’oyo tokende epai na ye.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Na bongo, Toma, oyo bazalaki mpe kobenga « Lipasa, » alobaki na bayekoli mosusu: — Biso mpe, tokende mpo ete tokufa elongo na Yesu!
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Tango Yesu akomaki, ayokaki ete basilaki kokunda Lazare kati na kunda wuta mikolo minei.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
Mpe lokola Betani ezalaki mosika ya Yelusalemi na bakilometele pene misato,
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Bayuda mingi bayaki epai ya Mari mpe Marte mpo na kokabola mawa elongo na bango, mpo na kufa ya ndeko na bango.
20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.
Tango Marte ayokaki ete Yesu azali koya, akendeki kokutana na Ye; kasi Mari atikalaki ya kovanda kati na ndako.
21 Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Marte alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, soki ozalaki awa, ndeko na ngai alingaki kokufa te!
22 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
Kasi nazali na kondima ete, ata sik’oyo, Nzambe akopesa Yo nyonso oyo okosenga Ye.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ndeko na yo akosekwa.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Marte azongiselaki Yesu: — Nayebi solo ete akosekwa, na mokolo ya suka, na tango bakufi bakosekwa.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live:
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ngai nazali lisekwa mpe bomoi. Moto nyonso oyo andimi Ngai akozala na bomoi, atako akufi.
Mpe moto nyonso oyo andimi Ngai, wana azali na bomoi, akotikala kokufa te. Ondimi yango? (aiōn g165)
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the world.
Marte azongisaki: — Iyo, Nkolo! Nandimi ete ozali Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe, oyo asengelaki koya na mokili.
28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee.
Sima na Marte koloba bongo, akendeki kobenga Mari, ndeko na ye; mpe wana abendaki ye pembeni, alobaki na ye na mongongo ya se penza: — Moteyi ayei, azali kobenga yo.
29 And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.
Tango kaka Mari ayokaki bongo, atelemaki na lombangu mpe akendeki epai ya Yesu.
30 (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)
Nzokande, Yesu akotaki nanu te na mboka; azalaki kaka na esika oyo Marte akutanaki na Ye.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and were comforting her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.
Tango Bayuda oyo bazalaki elongo na Mari kati na ndako mpo na kokabola mawa elongo na ye, bamonaki Mari kotelema na lombangu mpe kobima libanda, balandaki ye, pamba te bakanisaki ete akei kolela na kunda.
32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Tango kaka Mari akomaki na esika oyo Yesu azalaki mpe amonaki Ye, amibwakaki na makolo na Ye mpe alobaki: — Nkolo, soki ozalaki awa, ndeko na ngai alingaki kokufa te!
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews [also] weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Tango Yesu amonaki Mari mpe Bayuda oyo bayaki elongo na ye kolela, ayokaki mawa makasi mpe amitungisaki.
34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.
Atunaki bango: — Bokundaki ye wapi? Bazongisaki: — Nkolo, yaka kotala.
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu alelaki.
36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
Bongo Bayuda balobaki: — Tala ndenge nini alingaki ye!
37 But some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?
Kasi bamosusu kati na bango balobaki: — Ezali ye te oyo abikisaki mokufi miso? Bongo ndenge nini akokaki te kosala ete Lazare akufa te?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Lokola Yesu amitungisaki lisusu makasi, akendeki na kunda. Ezalaki kati na ebombamelo ya mabanga oyo, na ekotelo na yango, batiaki libanga moko ya monene.
39 Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.
Yesu alobaki na bango: — Botindika libanga. Kasi Marte, ndeko ya mowei, alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, azali kolumba solo! Wuta bakundaki ye, esali mikolo minei.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Yesu alobaki na ye: — Nalobaki na yo te ete soki ondimi, okomona nkembo ya Nzambe?
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.
Boye batindikaki libanga. Bongo Yesu atombolaki miso na likolo mpe alobaki: « Tata, nazali kotonda Yo mpo ete oyoki Ngai.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude which standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.
Nayebaki ete oyokaka Ngai tango nyonso; kasi soki nalobi bongo, ezali mpo ete bato oyo bazali zingazinga na Ngai bandima ete Yo nde otindaki Ngai. »
43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Sima na Yesu koloba bongo, agangaki: — Lazare, bima!
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 unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Mpe mowei abimaki longwa na kunda; makolo mpe maboko na ye ezalaki ya kokangama na basinga ya bitendi, mpe elongi na ye ezalaki ya kozipama na elamba. Bongo Yesu alobaki na bato oyo bazalaki wana: — Bofungola ye basinga wana mpe botika ye kokende.
45 Many therefore of the Jews, which came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.
Kati na Bayuda oyo bayaki epai ya Mari, mingi kati na bango bandimaki Yesu tango bamonaki makambo oyo asalaki;
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
kasi bamosusu bakendeki kokuta Bafarizeo mpo na koyebisa bango makambo yango, oyo Yesu asalaki.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.
Bongo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo babengisaki Likita-Monene mpe batunanaki: — Tosala nini? Moto oyo azali kosala bikamwa mingi.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
Soki totiki ye kokoba kosala bongo, bato nyonso bakondima ye; bongo bato ya Rome bakoya bakobebisa Tempelo na biso mpe ekolo na biso.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Moko kati na bango, Kayifa, oyo azalaki mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe na mobu wana, alobaki na bango:
50 nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
— Bozali kososola eloko moko te; bozali mpe komona te ete ezali mpo na bolamu na bino soki moto moko akufi mpo na bato nyonso, mpo ete ekolo mobimba ebebisama te?
51 Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
Nzokande, makambo oyo azalaki koloba na bango ewutaki na makanisi na ye moko te; kasi lokola azalaki mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe na mobu wana, yango wana asakolaki ete Yesu asengelaki kokufa mpo na ekolo ya Bayuda.
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.
Mpe asengelaki kokufa kaka mpo na ekolo yango te, kasi mpe mpo na kosangisa kati na libota moko, bana nyonso ya Nzambe, oyo bapalangana bipai na bipai.
53 So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Ezali na mokolo wana nde bazwaki mokano ya koboma Yesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples.
Na bongo, Yesu atikaki komilakisa na polele kati na Bayuda; alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na etuka oyo ezalaki pene ya esobe, kati na engumba moko na kombo Efrayimi; mpe avandaki kuna elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.
Kasi lokola feti ya Pasika ya Bayuda ekomaki pene, bato mingi ya mboka bakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na komipetola liboso ya feti yango.
56 They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?
Bazalaki koluka Yesu mpe kotunana bango na bango kati na lopango ya Tempelo: — Bokanisi nini? Akoya penza na feti?
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should shew it, that they might take him.
Nzokande bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo basilaki kopesa mitindo ete moto nyonso oyo akoyeba esika oyo Yesu azali, ayebisa bango mpo ete bakanga ye.
