< John 12 >

1 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí àjọ ìrékọjá ku ọjọ́ mẹ́fà, Jesu wá sí Betani, níbi tí Lasaru wà, ẹni tí ó ti kú, tí Jesu jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
2 So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.
Wọ́n sì ṣe àsè alẹ́ fún un níbẹ̀. Marta sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n Lasaru jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó jókòó níbi tábìlì rẹ̀.
3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Nígbà náà ni Maria mú òróró ìkunra nadi, òsùwọ̀n lita kan, àìlábùlà, olówó iyebíye, ó sì ń fi kun Jesu ní ẹsẹ̀, ó sì ń fi irun orí rẹ̀ nu ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ nù. Ilé sì kún fún òórùn ìkunra náà.
4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, which should betray him, saith,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, Judasi Iskariotu, ọmọ Simoni ẹni tí yóò fi í hàn, wí pé,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
“Èéṣe tí a kò ta òróró ìkunra yìí ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún owó idẹ kí a sì fi fún àwọn tálákà?”
6 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí èyí, kì í ṣe nítorí tí ó náání àwọn tálákà; ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí ó jẹ́ olè, òun ni ó ni àpò, a sì máa jí ohun tí a fi sínú rẹ̀ láti fi ran ara rẹ lọ́wọ́.
7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí pé, “Ẹ fi í sílẹ̀, ó ṣe é sílẹ̀ de ọjọ́ ìsìnkú mi.
8 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
Nígbà gbogbo ni ẹ̀yin sá à ní tálákà pẹ̀lú yín; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni ẹ kò ní nígbà gbogbo.”
9 The common people therefore of the Jews 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.
Nítorí náà, ìjọ ènìyàn nínú àwọn Júù ni ó mọ̀ pé ó wà níbẹ̀; wọ́n sì wá, kì í ṣe nítorí Jesu nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn lè rí Lasaru pẹ̀lú, ẹni tí ó ti jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olórí àlùfáà gbìmọ̀ kí wọn lè pa Lasaru pẹ̀lú,
11 because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
nítorí pé nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn Júù jáde lọ, wọ́n sì gbà Jesu gbọ́.
12 On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Ní ọjọ́ kejì nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ó wá sí àjọ gbọ́ pé, Jesu ń bọ̀ wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.
Wọ́n mú imọ̀ ọ̀pẹ, wọ́n sì jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń kígbe pé, “Hosana!” “Olùbùkún ni ẹni tí ń bọ̀ wá ní orúkọ Olúwa!” “Olùbùkún ni ọba Israẹli!”
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Nígbà tí Jesu sì rí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan, ó gùn ún; gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ̀wé pé,
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
“Má bẹ̀rù, ọmọbìnrin Sioni; wò ó, ọba rẹ ń bọ̀ wá, o jókòó lórí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.”
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí kò tètè yé àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a ṣe Jesu lógo, nígbà náà ni wọ́n rántí pé, a kọ̀wé nǹkan wọ̀nyí nípa rẹ̀ sí i.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
Nítorí náà, ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nígbà tí o pé Lasaru jáde nínú ibojì rẹ̀, tí ó sì jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú, jẹ́rìí sí i.
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.
Nítorí èyí ni ìjọ ènìyàn sì ṣe lọ pàdé rẹ̀, nítorí tí wọ́n gbọ́ pé ó ti ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì yìí.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him.
Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ kíyèsi bí ẹ kò ti lè borí ní ohunkóhun? Ẹ wo bí gbogbo ayé ti ń wọ́ tọ̀ ọ́!”
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:
Àwọn Giriki kan sì wà nínú àwọn tí ó gòkè wá láti sìn nígbà àjọ,
21 these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ó tọ Filipi wá, ẹni tí í ṣe ará Betisaida tí Galili, wọ́n sì ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, pé, “Alàgbà, àwa ń fẹ́ rí Jesu!”
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
Filipi wá, ó sì sọ fún Anderu; Anderu àti Filipi wá, wọ́n sì sọ fún Jesu.
23 And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Jesu sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Wákàtí náà dé, tí a ó ṣe Ọmọ Ènìyàn lógo.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí kò ṣe pé alikama bá bọ́ sí ilẹ̀, tí ó bá sì kú, ó wà ní òun nìkan; ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá kú, yóò sì so ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ èso.
25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ẹni tí ó bá fẹ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ yóò sọ ọ́ nù; ẹni tí ó bá sì kórìíra ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ láyé yìí ni yóò sì pa á mọ́ títí ó fi di ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honour.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ń sìn mí, kí ó máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, àti pe níbi tí èmi bá wà, níbẹ̀ ni ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò wà pẹ̀lú, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ń sìn mí, òun ni Baba yóò bu ọlá fún.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.
“Ní ìsinsin yìí ni a ń pọ́n ọkàn mi lójú; kín ni èmi ó sì wí? ‘Baba, gbà mí kúrò nínú wákàtí yìí’? Rárá, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí èyí ni mo ṣe wá sí wákàtí yìí.
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Baba, ṣe orúkọ rẹ lógo!” Nígbà náà ni ohùn kan ti ọ̀run wá, wí pé, “Èmi ti ṣe é lógo!”
29 The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
Nítorí náà ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó dúró níbẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ ọ, wí pé, “Àrá ń sán.” Àwọn ẹlòmíràn wí pé, “Angẹli kan ni ó ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀.”
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kì í ṣe nítorí mi ni ohùn yìí ṣe wá, bí kò ṣe nítorí yín.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Ní ìsinsin yìí ni ìdájọ́ ayé yìí dé: nísinsin yìí ni a ó lé aládé ayé yìí jáde.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
Àti èmi, bí a bá gbé mi sókè kúrò ní ayé, èmi ó fa gbogbo ènìyàn sọ́dọ̀ ara mi!”
33 But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí èyí, ó ń ṣe àpẹẹrẹ irú ikú tí òun yóò kú.
34 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Nítorí náà àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwa gbọ́ nínú òfin pé, Kristi wà títí láéláé, ìwọ ha ṣe wí pé, ‘A ó gbé Ọmọ Ènìyàn sókè’? Ta ni ó ń jẹ́ ‘Ọmọ Ènìyàn yìí’?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Nígbà díẹ̀ sí i ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ wà láàrín yín, ẹ máa rìn nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, kí òkùnkùn má ṣe bá yín, ẹni tí ó bá sì ń rìn ní òkùnkùn kò mọ ibi òun ń lọ.
36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, ẹ gba ìmọ́lẹ̀ gbọ́, kí ẹ lè jẹ́ ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀!” Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni Jesu sọ, ó sì jáde lọ, ó fi ara pamọ́ fún wọn.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì tó báyìí lójú wọn, wọn kò gbà á gbọ́.
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Kí ọ̀rọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah lè ṣẹ, èyí tí ó sọ pé, “Olúwa, ta ni ó gba ìwàásù wa gbọ́ Àti ta ni a sì fi apá Olúwa hàn fún?”
39 For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
Nítorí èyí ni wọn kò fi lè gbàgbọ́, nítorí Isaiah sì tún sọ pé,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
“Ó ti fọ́ wọn lójú, Ó sì ti sé àyà wọn le; kí wọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí, kí wọn má ba à fi ọkàn wọn mọ̀, kí wọn má ba à yípadà, kí èmi má ba à mú wọn láradá.”
41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni Isaiah wí, nítorí ó ti rí ògo rẹ̀, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Síbẹ̀ ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn olórí gbà á gbọ́ pẹ̀lú; ṣùgbọ́n nítorí àwọn Farisi wọn kò jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀, kí a má ba à yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú Sinagọgu,
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
nítorí wọ́n fẹ́ ìyìn ènìyàn ju ìyìn ti Ọlọ́run lọ.
44 And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
Jesu sì kígbe ó sì wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́, èmi kọ́ ni ó gbàgbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó rán mi.
45 And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
Ẹni tí ó bá sì rí mi, ó rí ẹni tí ó rán mi.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
Èmi ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ó wá sí ayé, kí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́ má ṣe wà nínú òkùnkùn.
47 And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
“Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, tí kò sì pa wọ́n mọ́, èmi kì yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ nítorí tí èmi kò wá láti ṣe ìdájọ́ ayé, bí kò ṣe láti gba ayé là.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Ẹni tí ó bá kọ̀ mí, tí kò sì gba ọ̀rọ̀ mi, ó ní ẹnìkan tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀; ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ, òun náà ni yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn.
49 For I spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Nítorí èmi kò dá ọ̀rọ̀ sọ fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n Baba tí ó rán mi, ni ó ti fún mi ní àṣẹ, ohun tí èmi ó sọ, àti èyí tí èmi ó wí.
50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
Èmi sì mọ̀ pé ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun ni òfin rẹ̀, nítorí náà, àwọn ohun tí mo bá wí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba ti sọ fún mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo wí!” (aiōnios g166)
