John 12
1 And six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where was that Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead.
Mpokwalashala masuba asanu nebumo kwambeti Pasika ishike, Yesu walaya ku Betaniya, uko kwalikuba Lazalo usa ngwalapundusha kubafu.
2 And they made a supper for him there: and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of the guests with him.
Balamubambila cakulya cakulemeka Yesu, ico Malita ncalabanyamfwilisha kutebeta. Lazalo walikubapo mpobalikulya pamo ne Yesu.
3 And Mary took an alabaster box of perfume of choice spikenard, of great price; and anointed the feet of Jesus; and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the perfume.
Lino Maliya walamanta libotolo lyamafuta anunkila nado, adula cikamba nekutatika kunanika myendo ya Yesu, kapukutisha nemishishi yakendi. Lino bantu balikuba mung'anda balanyumfwa bwema bwamafutayo.
4 Then said Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, he that was about to betray him:
Nomba Yuda Isikalioti, umo wa beshikwiya baYesu, uyo panyuma pakendi walamuyaba kubalwani bakendi, walambeti,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
“Nomba nicani mafuta awa uliya kwaulisha mali a muwayawaya akwana 300 kwambeti apewe kubantu bapenga?”
6 And this he said, not be cause he cared for the poor, but because he was thief, and held the purse, and carried what was put in it.
Uku nkakwalikuba kwambeti usuni bapenga sobwe, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti walikuba kabwalala. Nendi ewalikusunga mali nekwibamo.
7 But Jesus said: Let her alone; she hath kept it for the day of my burial.
Yesu walambeti, “mulekeni abike mafuta awa kushikila busuba bwa kubikwa mumanda kwakame.
8 For the poor are always with you, but I am not with you always.
Pakwinga bantu bapenga nimubenga nabo cindi conse, nomba ame nteshi mubenganga pamo nenjame cindi conse.”
9 And great multitudes of the Jews heard that he was there: and they came, not only on account of Jesus, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead.
Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfweti Yesu uli kuBetaniya, nabo balayako. Baliya kuya pacebo caYesu enka sobwe, nsombi balayakubona Lazaro ngwalapundusha kubafu.
10 And the chief priests deliberated about killing even Lazarus:
Weco bamakulene beshimilumbo balapangana shakwambeti Lazaro neye bamushine,
11 because many of the Jews, on his account, went and believed in Jesus.
Pakwinga pacebo ca Lazaro bantu bangi bali kubashiya nekushoma Yesu.
12 And the next day, a great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Busuba bwalakonkapo bantu bangi balesa akusekelela Pasika, balanyumfweti Yesu lesanga kuYelusalemu.
13 took boughs of palm-trees, and went out to meet him. And they cried, and said: Hosanna, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!
Neco balamanta misampi yamalala nekuya akukumana nendi. Kabolobesheti, “Bulemu kuli Lesa! Walelekwa uyo lesanga mulina lya Mwami! Alelekwe Mwami wa Islaeli!”
14 And Jesus found an ass, and sat upon it; as it is written
Yesu walatanta mwana wa mbongolo ngobalamuletela, mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion. Behold, thy king cometh to thee; and he rideth upon a colt, the foal of an ass.
Kotatina, obe munshi wa Siyoni. “Bona, Mwami wakobe lesanga, watanta mwana wa mbongolo.”
16 These things understood not his disciples, at that time; but when Jesus was glorified, then his disciples remembered that these things were written of him, and that they did them to him.
Pacindico beshikwiya bakendi baliya kunyumfwishisha. Nsombi Yesu mpwalapunduka nebulemu, empobalanuka kwambeti ibi byalembwa muMabala byalikwamba endiye, nekwambeti balamwinshila bintu ibi.
17 And the multitude that had been with him, testified that he had called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from the dead.
Bantu balikuba neYesu mpwalakuwa Lazaro mumanda nekumupundusha kubafu nabo balapitilisha kwamba pabintu mbyobalabona.
18 And for this reason, great multitudes went out to meet him, as they had heard that he wrought this sign.
Ecebo cakendi bantu ncebalayilakukumana nendi, pakwinga balanyumfwa ceshikukankamanisha ncalensa.
19 But the Pharisees said, one to another: Do ye see, that ye are gaining nothing? For, lo, the whole world is going after him.
Popelapo Bafalisi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Bonani afwe paliya ncetulenshinga, pakwinga bantu bonse balafwambilinga kulyendiye.”
20 And there were also among the people, some who had come up to worship at the feast.
Nomba kwalikuba Bagiliki nabambi pakati pabantu balaya kuYelusalemu akupaila pacindi cakusekelela.
21 These came, and approached Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him: My lord, we are desirous to see Jesus.
Ba Giliki balayakubona Filipo, waku Betisaida muGalileya. Balamusengeti, “nkambo tulayandanga kubona Yesu.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew; and Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Filipo walambila Ndileya, bonse babili balaya akwambila Yesu.
23 And Jesus answered, and said to them: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
Yesu walambeti, “Cilashiki cindi cakwambeti Mwana Muntu atambule bulemu bwakendi.
24 Verily, verily, I say to you, That a kernel of wheat, unless it fall and die in the ground, remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth numerous fruits.
Kwamba cakubinga, imbuto ya witi yabula kubyalwa mubulongo nekufwa ikute kaili imo imo. Nomba yafukilwa, ikute kukula nekusema bisepo bingi.
25 He that loveth his life, will lose it; and he that hateth his life, in this world, will preserve it unto life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
Muntu usuni buyumi bwakendi, nakabutaye, nsombi uyo utabusuni buyumi bwakendi mucishi cino nakapewe buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any one is servant to me, he will come after me; and where I am, there also will my servant be. Him that serveth me, will the Father honor.
Muntu layandanga kunsebensela, ankonkele, kwambeti musebenshi wakame akabe nenjame kulikonse nkotinkabenga. Muntu asebensela ame, Bata nibakamupe bulemu.”
27 Behold, now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour? But for this very cause, came I to this hour.
“Lino ndapengenga mumoyo. Nomba ng'ambe cani? Sena ng'ambeti, ‘Bata kamumpulusha pacindici ku mapensho alesanga pantangu? Nomba sobwe, pakwinga encondaleshila.
28 Father, glorify thy name! And a voice was heard from heaven: I have glorified it; and I will glorify it again.
Bata kamulemekani Lina lyenu.” Popelapo kwalanyumfwika Maswi kwilu akwambeti, “ndalilemeke, kayi nimpitilishe kulilemeka.”
29 And the multitude standing by, heard it; and they said: There was thunder. But others said: An angel spoke with him.
Lino likoto linene lyabantu mpolyalanyumfwa maswi awo, balambeti, “Nimukunkumo wa mfula.” Nomba nabambi balambeti, “Nimungelo wambanga nendi.”
30 Jesus answered, and said to them: This voice was not for my sake, but for yours.
Yesu walabambileti, “Maswi aliyakunyumfwika pacebo ca Njame sobwe, nsombi nakumunyamfwa.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now the ruler of this world is cast out.
Lino ecindi cakwambeti cishi capanshi comboloshewe. Lino Satana, mwami wa cishi capanshi, Lesa namuwale kunsa.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.
Nomba ndakanyamunwa pelu, ninkabunganye bantu bonse kuli njame.”
33 And this he said, to show by what manner of death, he was to die.
Yesu walamba maswi awa kwambeti abaleshe mushobo walufu ndoshi akafwe nalo.
34 The multitude said to him: We have heard from the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, that the Son of man is to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Bantu basa balamwambileti, “Milawo yetu ikute kwambeti Mupulushi Walaiwa nakabengapongowa. Nomba amwe mulambilingeti Mwana Muntu welela kunyamunwa pelu Mwana Muntu wopeloyo niyani?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus said to them: A short time longer, the light is with you. Walk, while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. He that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth.
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Mumuni ucili pakati penu kwacindi cing'ana. Kamwendani, mu mumuni nkauciliko, mushinshe nkautamukoma. Pakwinga uliyense lendenga mumushinshe nkakute kwinshiba nkwalenga.
36 While the light is with you, confide in the light; that ye may be children of the light. These things said Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them.
Kamushomani mumuni kaucili nenjamwe kwambeti mube bantu bamunikilwa.” Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba makani awa walafumapo nekuya kumusena nkobatenshi.
37 And although he wrought all these signs before them, they believed him not;
Nambi Yesu walensa byeshikukankamanisha bingi, nsombi nabo baliya kumushoma.
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: My Lord; who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
Ici calenshika mbuli ncalamba mushinshimi Yesaya, “Mwami, niyani lashomo kukambauka kwetu? Niyani labono ngofu sha Mwami?”
39 For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
Neco nkamwalashoma pakwinga mbuli Yesaya kayi walambeti,
40 They have blinded their eyes, and darkened their hearts; that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted; and I should heal them.
“Lesa walabapofola menso, nekuyumisha mitwi yabo, cakwambeti menso abo nkacikonsho kubona, nambi kwishiba nemyoyo yabo. Nambi kusandukila kuli njame kwambeti ndibasengule.”
41 These things spake Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Yesaya mpwalikwamba maswi awa, walikwamba sha Yesu, pacebo cakwambeti walabona bulemu bwakendi.
42 And of the chiefs also, many believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
Nomba nikukabeco batangunishi babo bangi balashoma Yesu. Nsombi pacebo ca kutina Bafalisi kwambeti ngababatandanya mu libungano, nkabalikwambila bantu patuba.
43 for they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God.
Balikusuna kulumbwa kubantu kupita kulumbwa ne Lesa.
44 And Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me.
Neco Yesu walamba mwakolobesheti, “Muntu lanshomonga, nkalashomonga ame ndenka sobwe, nsombi lashomonga uyo walantuma.
45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
Kayi muntu labononga ame, labononga uyo walantuma.
46 I have come into the world, a light, that whoever believeth in me, might not abide in darkness.
Ame njame mumuni, kayi ndalesa panshi pano, kwambeti uliyense lanshomo akabule kwikala mumushinshe.
47 And whoever shall hear my words, and not observe them, I judge him not; for I did not come to judge the world, but to vivify the world.
Muntu anyumfwa maswi akame nomba ubula kwanyumfwa, nteshinkamomboloshe pakwinga ndiya kwisa kombolosha cishi, nsombi kwisa kupulusha.
48 Whoever rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, there is one to judge him; the word which I speak, will judge him, at the last day.
Muntu lankananga, kayi labulunga kutambula maswi akame, mpwali weshakamomboloshe. Maswi ngondamba eshakamupeshe mulandu pa busuba bwakupwililisha!
49 For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should speak, and what I should say.
Ici nicakubinga pakwinga nkankute kwambowa bintu mukuyeya kwakame, nsombi Bata balantuma ebalang'ambila byakwamba, ne mwakwambila.
