< John 11 >

1 [One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
Karon adunay usa ka tawo nga ginganlan ug Lazaro nga nagsakit. Siya gikan sa Betania, ang baryo ni Maria ug sa iyang igsoon nga si Marta.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
Si Maria mao ang nagdihog sa Ginoo ug mira ug nagpahid sa tiil uban sa iyang buhok, ang iyang igsoon nga si Lazaro nagsakit.
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Ang managsoong babaye nagpadala ngadto kang Jesus, nga nag-ingon, “Ginoo, tan-awa, ang imong hinigugma nagsakit.”
4 [They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
Sa dihang si Jesus nakadungog niini, siya miingon, “Kining sakita dili alang sa kamatayon, apan alang hinuon kini sa kahimayaan sa Dios aron nga ang Anak sa Dios mahimaya pinaagi niini.”
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Karon gihigugma ni Jesus si Marta ug ang iyang igsoon nga babaye ug si Lazaro.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Busa sa dihang nadungog niya nga si Lazaro nagsakit, si Jesus nagpabilin pa ug duha ka adlaw sa dapit kung asa siya.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Unya human niini, siya miingon sa mga disipulo, “Mangadto kita sa Judea pag-usab.”
8 We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
Ang mga disipulo miingon kaniya, “Rabbi, sa pagkakaron ang mga Judio nagasulay sa pagbato kanimo, ug buot gihapon ka mobalik pag-usab didto?”
9 [To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
Si Jesus mitubag, “Dili ba dose ka oras ang usa ka adlaw? Kung adunay usa nga molakaw panahon sa adlaw, siya dili mapandol, tungod kay siya makakita pinaagi sa kahayag niining kalibotan.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Apan, kung siya molakaw sa kangitngit, siya mapandol tungod kay wala kaniya ang kahayag.
11 After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
Siya misulti niining mga butanga, ug human niining mga butanga, siya miingon kanila, “Ang atong higala nga si Lazaro natulog, apan ako moadto aron nga ako siyang pukawon sa pagkatulog.”
12 So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
Busa ang mga disipulo miingon kaniya, “Ginoo, kung natulog lang siya, siya maulian.”
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Karon si Jesus naghisgot sa iyang kamatayon, apan sila naghunahuna nga siya naghisgot mahitungod sa pagpahulay nga pagkatulog.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Unya si Jesus miingon kanila sa klaro, “Patay na si Lazaro.
15 But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
Ako nalipay, alang sa inyong kaayohan, nga ako wala didto aron kamo motuo. Mangadto kita kaniya.”
16 Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
Si Tomas, nga gitawag nga Didymus, miingon sa iyang kauban nga mga disipulo, “Mangadto usab kita aron nga mamatay kita uban kang Jesus.”
17 When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
Sa dihang miabot si Jesus, nasayran niya nga si Lazaro gilubong upat na kaadlaw ang milabay.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Ang Betania duol sa Jerusalem, 15 ka estadya ang gilay-on.
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Daghan ang mga Judio nga miadto kang Marta ug kang Maria, alang sa paghupay kanila mahitungod sa ilang igsoon.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Unya si Marta, sa dihang nakadungog siya nga si Jesus moabot, miadto aron sa pagpakigkita kaniya, apan si Maria naglingkod didto sa balay.
21 When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
Unya si Marta miingon kang Jesus, “Ginoo, kung ania ka pa unta dinhi, ang akong igsoon dili unta namatay.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
Bisan karon, ako nasayod nga bisan unsa nga imong pangayuon gikan sa Dios, iyang igahatag kanimo.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Si Jesus miingon kaniya, “Ang imong igsoon mabuhi pag-usab.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Si Marta miingon kaniya, “Ako nasayod nga siya mabuhi pag-usab panahon sa pagbanhaw sa kataposang adlaw.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Si Jesus miingon kaniya, “Ako ang pagkabanhaw ug ang kinabuhi; siya nga nagatuo kanako, bisan pa kung siya mamatay, mabuhi;
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
ug si bisan kinsa nga buhi ug motuo kanako dili gayod mamatay. Nagatuo kaba niini?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
Siya miingon ngadto kaniya, “Oo, Ginoo, nagtuo ako nga ikaw ang Cristo, ang Anak sa Dios, nga moabot sa kalibotan.”
28 After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
Sa dihang siya miingon niini, siya mipalayo ug gitawag ang iyang igsoon nga si Maria sa tago. Siya miingon, “Ang magtutudlo ania ug siya nagtawag kanimo.”
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Sa dihang nadungog niya kini, siya mitindog dayon ug miadto kaniya.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Karon wala pa moadto si Jesus sa baryo apan anaa pa gihapon diin si Marta nakigkita kaniya.
31 The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry there.
Busa sa dihang ang mga Judio, nga uban kaniya sa iyang balay ug kadtong naghupay kaniya, nakakita kang Maria nga nagdali ug tindog ug migawas, sila misunod kaniya, nga naghunahuna nga moadto siya sa lubong aron magbakho didto.
32 When Mary got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] brother would not have died!”
Unya sa dihang si Maria, miabot ug nakakita kang Jesus, miluhod siya sa iyang tiilan ug miingon kaniya, “Ginoo, kung ania ka pa unta dinhi, dili unta mamatay ang akong igsoon.”
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
Sa dihang nakita siya ni Jesus nga naghilak, ug ang mga Judio nga mikuyog kaniya naghilak usab, natandog pag-ayo ang iyang espiritu ug nabalaka;
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
siya miingon, “Asa ninyo siya gibutang?” Sila miingon kaniya, “Ginoo, anhi ug tan-awa.”
35 Jesus began to cry.
Mihilak si Jesus.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Unya ang mga Judio miingon, “Tan-awa unsa kadako ang iyang paghigugma kang Lazaro!”
37 But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
Apan ang pipila kanila miingon, “Dili ba kining tawhana nga maoy nag-abli sa mga mata sa usa ka buta nga tawo, makahimo usab niining tawhana nga dili mamatay?”
38 Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
Unya si Jesus usab, natandog pag-ayo ang iyang kaugalingon, miadto sa lubnganan. Usa kini ka langob, ug usa ka bato ang nakaali niini.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
Si Jesus miingon, “Kuhaa kanang bato.” Si Marta, nga igsoon ni Lazaro, nga namatay, miingon kang Jesus, “Ginoo, niining higayona ang lawas nalata na, kay siya upat naman kaadlaw nga namatay.”
40 Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
Si Jesus miingon kaniya, “Wala ba ako nag-ingon kanimo nga, kung ikaw motuo, ikaw makakita sa himaya sa Dios?”
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
Busa ilang gikuha ang bato. Naghangad si Jesus ug miingon, “Amahan, ako nagpasalamat kanimo nga ikaw naminaw kanako.
42 I know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
Ako nasayod nga ikaw kanunay gayod nagapaminaw kanako, apan tungod ug alang sa mga panon nga nagtindog palibot kanako nga ako maga-ingon niini, aron nga sila motuo nga ikaw nagpadala kanako.”
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Human kini niya gisulti, misinggit siya uban ang kusog nga tingog, “Lazaro, gawas!”
44 The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
Ang patay nga tawo migawas; ang iyang mga tiil ug mga kamot nagapos sa panapton, ang iyang nawong halos naputos ug panapton. Si Jesus miingon kanila, “Badbari ug palakawa siya.”
45 As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
Unya daghan sa mga Judio nga miadto kang Maria ug nakakita kung unsa ang gibuhat ni Jesus, mituo kaniya;
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
apan ang pipila kanila miadto sa mga Pariseo ug nag-ingon kanila sa mga butang nga gibuhat ni Jesus.
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
Unya ang pangulong pari ug ang mga Pariseo gitigom ang konseho ug miingon, “Unsa ang atong pagabuhaton?” Kining tawhana daghan na ang gibuhat nga mga timaan.
48 If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
Kung ato siyang pasagdan sama niini, ang tanan motuo kaniya; ang mga Romano moanhi ug ilugon ang atong dapit ug ang atong nasod.”
49 One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
Bisan pa niini, ang usa ka tawo sa ilang taliwala, si Caiafas, ang labaw nga pari niadto nga tuig, miingon kanila, “Wala kamoy nasayran.
50 You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
Wala ninyo gihunahuna nga kini mas maayo alang kaninyo nga ang usa ka tawo mamatay alang sa katawhan kaysa ang tibuok nga nasod mahanaw.”
51 He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
Karon nagsulti siya niini dili gikan sa iyang kaugalingon. Hinuon, ingon nga labaw'ng pari niadtong tuiga, iyang gitagna nga si Jesus mamatay alang sa nasod;
52 But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
ug dili lamang alang sa nasod, apan aron nga ang mga anak sa Dios nga nagkatibulaag kinahanglan mahiusa.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Busa gikan niadtong adlawa nagplano sila kung unsaon nila pagpatay si Jesus.
54 Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
Wala na si Jesus naglakaw nga dayag taliwala sa mga Judio, apan mibiya siya gikan didto paingon sa dapit nga duol sa kamingawan paingon sa lungsod nga gitawag ug Ephraim. Didto nagpabilin siya kauban ang mga disipulo.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
Karon ang Pagsaylo sa mga Judio haduol na, ug daghan ang mitungas sa Jerusalem gikan sa mga dapit sa wala pa ang Pagsaylo aron sa pagputli sa ilang mga kaugalingon.
56 The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
Sila nangita kang Jesus, ug nag-istoryahanay sa usag-usa samtang sila nanindog sa templo, “Unsay inyong hunahuna? Nga dili siya moadto sa kapistahan?”
Karon ang mga pangulong pari ug ang mga Pariseo mihatag ug mando nga kung adunay nasayod kung asa si Jesus, kinahanglan siya mosumbong niini aron nga sila modakop kaniya.
