< John 11 >

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Muntu yumu yawamshema Lazaru, kalikaliti Betaniya, kaweriti mlweri. Betaniya lushi lwawalikaliti Mariya na Marita muhasha gwakuwi.
2 And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Mariya ndo uliya yakamswagiti uturi Mtuwa na kumpukuta kwa viri zyakuwi. Ayu ndo Lazaru kaka gwakuwi yakaweriti mlweri.
3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Wahasha watuma ujumbi kwa Yesu, “Mtuwa, ganja gwaku yagumfira, mlweri!”
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.
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 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu kamfiriti Marita na muhasha gwakuwi pamuhera na Lazaru.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.
Pakapatiti shisoweru handa Lazaru mlweri, kulikala pahala panu kwa mashaka mawili nentu.
7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Shakapanu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi, “Tuwuyi kayi Yudeya!”
8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Wafundwa wamgambira, “Mfunda! Shipindi shifupi hera shipita Wayawudi wafira kukuguma mabuwi, na gwenga gufira kugenda kayi aku?”
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 kankula, “Lishaka lyana saa lilongu na mawili ndiri, ndo hangu? Pakagendagenda paliwala hapeni kawezi kulikwala, kawona kulangala kwa pasipanu.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
Kumbiti muntu pakagendagenda pashiru katalikwala, Toziya kulangala kwahera.”
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.
Yesu katakuliti hangu na pakamaliriti, kawagambira, “Ganja gwetu Lazaru kagonja, kumbiti neni nankugenda na kumyumusiya.”
12 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.
Wafundwa wakuwi wamgambira, “Mtuwa, handa yomberi kagonja su hakaponiziwi.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
Kumbiti Yesu kaweriti kankutakula kuusu kuhowa kwakuwi, womberi waliholiti kuwera kankutakula kuusu kugonja mbota.
14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Yesu kawagambira pota kufifa, “Lazaru kahowa,
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.
kumbiti nemelera kwa ajili ya mwenga handa mweri ndiri aku, su mpati kujimira. Haya tugendeni kwakuwi.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Tomasi yawamshema mawira kawagambira wantumini wamonga, “Tugendeni woseri pamuhera na mfunda tukahowi!”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Yesu pakafikiti aku, kamwoniti Lazaru wamtula kala mlipumba kwa mashaka msheshi.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
Shijiji sha Betaniya shiweriti pakwegera na Yerusalemu utali wa kilumita ntatu,
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
na Wayawudi wavuwa wiziti kumlola Marita na Mariya kuwapanani ushiwa kwa kuhowa kaka gwawu.
20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.
Shipindi Marita pakapikaniriti handa Yesu kaweriti kamkwiza, kagenda kumwanka, kumbiti Mariya kasigaliti ukaya.
21 Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Marita kamgambira Yesu, “Mtuwa handa gwangaweriti panu, kaka gwangu mekahowiti ndiri!
22 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
Kumbiti nuvimana handa ata vinu shoseri shagufira kumluwa Mlungu, hakakupi.”
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Yesu kamgambira, “Kaka gwaku hakawuyi mkomu kayi.”
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Marita kamwankula, “Nuvimana handa hawazyuki shipindi sha uzyukisiwu, mulishaka lya kupelera.”
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 kamgambira, “Neni ndo uzyukisiya na ukomu. Yakanjimira neni ata tembera hakahowi, hakalikali.
26 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
Na kila yakalikala na kunjimira, hapeni kahowi. Hashi, gujimira aga?” (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.
Marita kamwankula, “Yina, Mtuwa! Neni njimira handa gwenga ndo Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu, uliya yakiza pasipanu.”
28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee.
Marita pakatakuliti aga, kagenditi na kumshema Mariya mlongu gwakuwi, kamgambira pagweka, “mfunda kapanu na kafira kukuwona.”
29 And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.
Nayomberi pakapikaniriti aga, kamukamu kagoloka, kamgendera Yesu.
30 (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)
Yesu kaweriti keniyingiri mushijiji, kumbiti kaweriti palaa palii Marita pakamwankiti.
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.
Su, Wayawudi yawaweriti ukaya pamuhera na Mariya pawamnyamaziya muushiwa, pawamwoniti kagoloka na kulawa kunja vumu, wamwiziriti. Wavimaniti kaweriti kankugenda mulipumba kudaya.
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.
Mariya pakasokiti pahala palii Yesu pakaweriti na kumwona, kasuntamala, kamgambira, “Mtuwa, handa gwangaweriti panu, kaka gwangu kangahowiti ndiri!”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews [also] weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Yesu pakamwoniti kankulira na Wayawudi walii wawiziti pamuhera nayomberi wankulira viraa, kamemiti na maholu na kuhinginika mumoyu.
34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.
Shakapanu kawakosiya, “Lipumba lya koshi?” Wamgambira, “Mtuwa, gwizi na gulori.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu kalira.
36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
Su, Wayawudi watakula, “Mlori ntambu yakamfiriti!”
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?
Kumbiti wamonga wawu watakula, “Hashi, ayu yakamtenditi katumuli masu lwisi uliya, kaweza ndiri kumtenda Lazaru nakahowi?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Su, Yesu kahinginika kayi mmoyu, kiziti mlipumba. Lipumba lyeni liweriti mpanga na liweriti ludiwirwa kwa libuwi.
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 kalagaliriti, “Mliwusiyi libuwi ali!” Marita mlongu gwakuwi ayu yakahowiti kamgambira, “Mtuwa kanja kala kununka, kalikala mulipumba mashaka msheshi!”
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Yesu kamgambira, “Hashi, nukugambira ndiri handa pagujimira haguwoni ukwisa wa Mlungu?”
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.
Su waliwusiya libuwi lilii, Yesu kalola kumpindi, katakula, “Mayagashii Tati toziya gwenga gumpikanira.
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.
Nuvimana handa gumpikanira neni. Kumbiti ntakula aga toziya ya wantu awa wapala panu su wapati kujimira handa gwenga ndo yaguntumiti.”
43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Pakamaliriti kutakula aga, kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Lazaru! Gulawi kunja!”
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.
Uliya yakaweriti kahowa kalawiti kunja, aku wamyopa sanda mmagulu na mmawoku na sheni shakuwi shigubikirwa. Yesu kawagambira, “Mumyopoli, mkamleki kagendi zyakuwi.”
45 Many therefore of the Jews, which came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.
Su, Wayawudi wavuwa waweriti wamtyangira Mariya pawawoniti Yesu shintu gaa shakatenditi, na kumjimira.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Kumbiti wamonga wawu wagenditi kwa Mafalisayu na wawagambira shitwatira ashi shakatenditi Yesu.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.
Mafalisayu na watambika wakulu waliwoniti Mwashizungu na watakula, “Tutendi shishi? Muntu ayu kankutenda mauzauza nentu.
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.
Patumleka hera wantu woseri hawamjimiri, womberi Warumi hawizi kuwalibisiya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu gwetu na isi yetu!”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Panu yumu gwawu, yawamchema Kayafa, ndo kiwiti mtambika mkulu wa shinja ashi, kawagambira, “Mwenga muvimana ndiri shintu!
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.
Hashi, mwona ndiri handa ndo mbaka kwamwenga muntu yumu kahowi kwa ajili ya wantu, kuliku isi yoseri ipalanganyika?”
51 Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should 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 that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.
na toziya ndiri gweka yawu hera, kumbiti kapati kuwajega pamuhera munshimba yimu yaipalanganyikiti kwa wantu wa Mlungu.
53 So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Su, kwanjira lishaka ali watuwa wa Shiyawudi watenda mipangu gwa kumlaga 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.
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 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.
Shipindi sha msambu sha Wayawudi sha Pasaka shiweriti pakwegera na wantu wavuwa walawa muisi wagenditi Yerusalemu su walipungi pa msambu agu.
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?
Su, waweriti wankumsakula Yesu. Na womberi pawaliwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, walikosiyana, “Mulihola hashi? Nakaka hakizi ndiri ku msambu agu, awu ndiri?”
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.
Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayu walagalira kuwera, handa muntu yoseri pakavimaniti pahala pakaweriti Yesu, kalazimika kutakula su wapati kumbata.
