< John 11 >

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܚܘܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܕܡܪܬܐ
2 And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair—whose brother Lazarus was sick.
ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܝ ܕܡܫܚܬ ܒܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܐܚܘܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ
3 The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying—Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick.
ܘܫܕܪܝܢ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܬܗ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܟܪܝܗ
4 But Jesus hearing, said—This sickness, is not unto death, but for the glory of God, —that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
ܡܚܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܪܬܐ ܘܠܡܪܝܡ ܘܠܠܥܙܪ
6 When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܟܬܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܝܘܡܝܢ
7 Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples—Let us be leading on into Judaea, again.
ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܬܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܬܘܒ ܠܝܗܘܕ
8 The disciples say unto him—Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee—and, again, goest thou thither?
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܪܒܢ ܗܫܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܪܓܡܟ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܬܡܢ
9 Jesus answered—Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth;
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܫܥܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ
10 But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܗܝܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ
11 These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them—Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܙܪ ܪܚܡܢ ܫܟܒ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܝܪܝܘܗܝ
12 The disciples, therefore, said unto him—Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܢ ܐܢ ܕܡܟ ܡܬܚܠܡ
13 But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܡܘܬܗ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܒܪܘ ܕܥܠ ܡܕܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܐܡܪ
14 Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly, —Lazarus, died;
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܝܬ ܠܗ
15 and I rejoice, for your sake—that ye may believe, —that I was not there; but let us be going unto him.
ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܠܬܡܢ
16 Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples—Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.
ܐܡܪ ܬܐܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܐܡܪ ܬܐܡܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܒܪܘܗܝ ܢܐܙܠ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܥܡܗ
17 Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb.
ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܕ ܦܪܝܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܚܡܫܬܥܤܪ
19 and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܕܢܡܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܐܚܘܗܝܢ
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting.
ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܝܬܒܐ ܗܘܬ
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus—Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ
22 And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee.
ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟ
23 Jesus saith unto her—Thy brother shall rise.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܐܡ ܐܚܘܟܝ
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day.
ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܕܥܐܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܒܢܘܚܡܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
25 Jesus said unto her—I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again!
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܚܡܐ ܘܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܦܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܢܚܐ
26 And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age-abiding. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
ܘܟܠ ܕܚܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܝ ܗܕܐ (aiōn g165)
27 She saith unto him—Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, —He who, into the world, should come.
ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ
28 And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying—The teacher, is present, and calleth thee.
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠܬ ܩܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܚܬܗ ܟܤܝܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܟܝ
29 And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him.
ܘܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܩܡܬ ܥܓܠ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܗ
30 Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܬܗ ܡܪܬܐ
31 The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there.
ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܒܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܚܙܘ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܕܥܓܠ ܩܡܬ ܢܦܩܬ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܤܒܪܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܩܒܪܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܠܡܒܟܐ
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him—Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܐܬܬ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܬܗ ܢܦܠܬ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself,
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܗ ܕܒܟܝܐ ܘܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܬܥܙܙ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܙܝܥ ܢܦܫܗ
34 and said—Where have ye laid him? They say unto him—Lord! come and see.
ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܐ ܤܡܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܬܐ ܚܙܝ
35 Jesus wept.
ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ
36 The Jews, therefore, were saying—See! how tenderly he loved him!
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
37 But, some from among them, said—Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died?
ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ
38 Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon.
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܬܥܙܙ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ
39 Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him—Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days.
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܩܘܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ ܕܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܤܪܝ ܠܗ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܝܢ
40 Jesus saith unto her—Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܝ ܕܐܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܬܚܙܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
41 So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said—Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me:
ܘܫܩܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܥܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܡܥܬܢܝ
42 I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake, —that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth.
ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܫܕܪܬܢܝ
43 And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out—Lazarus! Come forth!
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܬܐ ܠܒܪ
44 He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages, and, his face, with a napkin, was bound about. Jesus saith unto them—Loose him, and let him go.
ܘܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܦܤܩܝܬܐ ܘܐܦܘܗܝ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܒܤܘܕܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܪܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܘܩܘ ܐܙܠ
45 Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him
ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
46 but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ
47 The High-priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high-council, and were saying—What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs?
ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ
48 If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation.
ܘܐܢ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܫܩܠܝܢ ܐܬܪܢ ܘܥܡܢ
49 But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High-priest, for that year, said unto them—Ye, know, nothing at all;
ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܗ ܩܝܦܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ
50 nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish.
ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܢܐܒܕ
51 This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High-priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ
52 and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one.
ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܒܕܪܝܢ ܢܟܢܫ ܠܚܕܐ
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put him to death.
ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
54 Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܬܡܢ ܡܬܗܦܟ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܨܚܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܕܡ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܢܕܟܘܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ
56 They were therefore seeking Jesus, and were saying one to another, in the temple, standing—How seemeth it unto you? that he will in nowise come unto the feast?
ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ
57 Now the High-priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that, if anyone came to know where he was, he should inform [them], so that they might seize him.
ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܦܩܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܐܝܟܘ ܢܒܕܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ
