John 12
1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.
Bwe waali wakyabulayo ennaku mukaaga emikolo gy’Embaga ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako gitandike, Yesu n’ajja e Besaniya ewa Laazaalo gwe yazuukiza.
2 So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him.
Ne bamufumbira ekyeggulo, Maliza n’aweereza, Laazaalo nga ye omu ku baali batudde ne Yesu okulya.
3 Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Awo Maliyamu n’addira eccupa erimu amafuta amalungi ag’akaloosa ag’omugavu, ag’omuwendo omungi, n’agafuka ku bigere bya Yesu n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze. Ennyumba yonna n’ejjula akaloosa k’amafuta ago.
4 [But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
Naye Yuda Isukalyoti, omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu, eyali ow’okumulyamu olukwe, n’agamba nti,
5 Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
“Lwaki amafuta ago tegatundiddwamu eddinaali ebikumi bisatu ne zigabirwa abaavu?”
6 Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
Yayogera bw’atyo si lwa kuba nti yali alumirwa nnyo abaavu, wabula Lwa kubanga yali mubbi. Yatwalanga ensimbi ezaaterekebwanga mu nsawo y’ensimbi.
7 Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
Yesu n’alyoka abagamba nti, “Omukazi mumuleke, akoze ekyo lwa kunteekerateekera kuziikibwa kwange.
8 For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
Abaavu muli nabo bulijjo, naye Nze sijja kuba nammwe bulijjo.”
9 The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.
Awo ekibiina kinene eky’Abayudaaya bwe bategeera nti Yesu ali Besaniya, ne bajja, si Lwa Yesu yekka, naye n’okulaba Laazaalo, Yesu gwe yazuukiza.
10 But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
Awo bakabona abakulu ne basala amagezi okutta Laazaalo,
11 because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.
kubanga yaleetera Abayudaaya bangi okuva ku bakulembeze baabwe ne bakkiriza Yesu.
12 On the morrow, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
Ku lunaku olwaddirira, abantu bangi abaali bazze ku mbaga ey’Okuyitako bwe baawulira nti Yesu ajja e Yerusaalemi,
13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, —even the King of Israel!
ne bakwata amatabi g’enkindu ne bagenda okumusisinkana nga baleekaana nti, “Ozaana.” “Aweereddwa omukisa ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.” “Ye Kabaka wa Isirayiri.”
14 And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
Awo Yesu bwe yalaba endogoyi ento n’agyebagala. Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti,
15 Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass.
“Ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni totya; laba Kabaka wo ajja, nga yeebagadde omwana gw’endogoyi.”
16 These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done unto him.
Ebyo abayigirizwa tebaabitegeererawo, naye Yesu bwe yamala okugulumizibwa, ne balyoka bajjukira ebintu ebyo ebyali bimuwandiikiddwako, ne bye baamukola.
17 The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.
Abo abaali mu kibiina, abaalaba Yesu ng’azuukiza Laazaalo ne baategeeza ebyaliwo ne bwe yazuukiza Laazaalo.
18 On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign.
Abantu abangi bwe batyo kyebaava bagenda okusisinkana Yesu, kubanga baali bawulidde ekyamagero ekyo kye yakola.
19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
Awo Abafalisaayo ne bagambagana nti: “Mulabye bwe tutalina kye tufunyeemu! Laba ensi yonna emugoberedde.”
20 Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast.
Naye waaliwo Abayonaani abamu abaali bazze okusinza ku mbaga ey’Okuyitako
21 These, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, —and were requesting him, saying—Sir! We desire to see, Jesus.
ne bajja eri Firipo eyava e Besusayida eky’omu Ggaliraaya, ne bamugamba nti, “Ssebo, twagala kulaba Yesu.”
22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus.
Firipo n’ategeeza Andereya, ne bagenda bombi okutegeeza Yesu.
23 But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified!
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu agulumizibwe.
24 Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti empeke y’eŋŋaano bw’egwa mu ttaka efa, bwe tefa ebeera yokka, naye bw’efa ebala ebibala bingi.
25 He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. (aiōnios g166)
Buli eyeemalira ku bulamu bwe alibufiirwa, naye oyo akyawa obulamu bwe mu nsi eno, alibusigaza mu bulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
26 If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
Oyo ampeereza, angoberere. Nze w’endi n’omuweereza wange w’anaabeeranga era Kitange alimuwa ekitiibwa oyo ampeereza.”
27 Now, is my soul troubled, —and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!
“Kaakano omutima gwange gweraliikiridde. Kale ŋŋambe ntya? Nsabe nti Kitange mponya ekiseera kino? Naye ate ekyandeeta kwe kuyita mu kiseera kino.
28 There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven—I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Kitange gulumiza erinnya lyo.” Awo eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu ne ligamba nti, “Ndigulumizizza era ndyongera okuligulumiza.”
29 [So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying—It hath, thundered. Others, were saying—A messenger, unto him, hath spoken.
Ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bayimiridde awo bwe baawulira ne bagamba nti, “Laddu y’ebwatuse!” Abalala ne bagamba nti, “Malayika y’ayogedde naye.”
30 Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Eddoboozi lino lizze ku lwammwe, so si ku lwange.
31 Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
Ekiseera ky’ensi okusalirwa omusango kituuse, era omufuzi w’ensi eno anaagoberwa ebweru.
32 And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
Bwe ndiwanikibwa okuva mu nsi, ndiwalulira bonna gye ndi.”
33 But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
Ekyo yakyogera ng’ategeeza enfa gye yali anaatera okufaamu.
34 The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn g165)
Awo abantu mu kibiina ekyo ne bamugamba nti, “Ffe tumanyi okuva mu mateeka nti Kristo aba mulamu emirembe gyonna. Naye ggwe lwaki ogamba nti Omwana w’Omuntu kimugwanira okufa? Mwana wa Muntu ki oyo gw’oyogerako?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Omusana gujja kwongera okubaakira okumala akaseera. Kale mugutambuliremu mugende gye mwagala ng’ekizikiza tekinnatuuka. Atambulira mu kizikiza tamanya gy’alaga.
36 While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
Kale Omusana nga bwe gukyayaka mugutambuliremu mulyoke mufuuke abaana b’omusana.” Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’agenda n’abeekweka.
37 And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him: —
Kyokka newaakubadde Yesu yakola ebyamagero bingi, tebaamukkiriza.
38 that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
Ekigambo kya nnabbi Isaaya kituukirire ekigamba nti, “Mukama ani akkiriza bye tugamba? Ani abikkuliddwa omukono gwa Mukama?”
39 On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
Kyebaava batakkiriza kubanga nnabbi Isaaya yayongera n’agamba nti,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn, —and I should heal them.
“Katonda yabaziba amaaso, era n’abakakanyaza emitima, amaaso gaabwe galeme okulaba, era n’emitima gyabwe gireme okutegeera, era gireme okukyuka, mbawonye.”
41 These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
Ebyo nnabbi Isaaya yabyogera kubanga yalaba ekitiibwa kye, era n’amwogerako.
42 Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
Era waaliwo bangi ne mu bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya abaamukkiriza. Naye olw’okutya Abafalisaayo, tebaamwatula, baleme kugobebwa mu kkuŋŋaaniro.
43 for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
Kubanga baayagala ekitiibwa ekibaweebwa abantu okusinga ekitiibwa kya Katonda.
44 And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said—He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me;
Awo Yesu n’asitula ku ddoboozi n’agamba nti, “Buli anzikiriza aba takkiriza Nze nzekka, wabula aba akkirizza n’oyo eyantuma.
45 And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.
N’oyo alaba Nze aba alabye oli eyantuma.
46 I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
Nze omusana nzize mu nsi buli anzikiriza aleme okusigala mu kizikiza.
47 And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
“Awulira ebigambo byange n’atabifaako, Nze simusalira musango, kubanga Nze najja kulokola nsi so si kugisalira musango.
48 He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day.
Kyokka buli agaana Nze era n’agaana n’ebigambo byange, alina amusalira omusango. Alisalirwa omusango ku lunaku olw’enkomerero okusinziira ku bigambo bye namutegeeza.
49 Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Kubanga Nze bye njogera si byange, ku bwange, naye mbategeezezza ebya Kitange bye yandagira okubategeeza.
