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.
Urunu nisame Li'azaru, mawzi uko ni. Me unanu Batayamani agiro an maryamu nan nu henu me Matta.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
Maryamu uginome sama humuka Ugomo Asere in mani mahuma mavisi me ti buna tume inti ce tumeme, deebe sa uhenu me Li'azarus mazi uhumaba.
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Anu henunugino me a eh watumin inkadura ahira a Yeso, agi, “Ugomo Asere, gunkuno, me de sa wahem ni mazome nihuma ba”.
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 Yeso ma kunna, bama gu “ukoni uginome udaa ayo me in ni wonoba, anime uzika Asere uni, barki vana Asere makem ninonzo ahira ame”.
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Yeso ma hemum matta, nan nu henu u me a Li'azaru.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Sama kunna uguna Li'azaru mazi uhumaba, ba ma cukkuno uha atiye tire ahira sa ma raa ni.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
A' anime, magun nanu tarsa unme, “Acatiha u Yahudiya”.
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]”
Ba anu tarsa umeme wagunme, “Unu dungara aname ma Yahudawa ma nyarawe barki wa tizziwe inna poo, anime unyara ukuro abirkome?”
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.
Yeso makabirka magu, “Ingussa uganiya kana kirau in kani kare ka ni ani hiriba? inki unu ma wuza tanu inwui, Mada pilikome ba, barki mahira u suro umasa mune ugeme.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Anime inki unu ma wuza tanu a nyimo aniye, madi pillizo barki masa ma zoo me nan meba.
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.”
Mabuka immum iginome, adomo atinum tigino me, bama gunwe, “Uroni uru Li'azaru mahama amoro ma, indiha inka hiriza me.
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].”
Ba nu tarsa umeme wagunme, “Ugomo Asere, inki moromanimazin innu wuza madi hiri”.
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Yeso ma buki tize tiwono i Li'azaru we wa gusi mazin inmoro muvenk u ni.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Yeso beziwe uguna, “Li'azaru ma wono.
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.”
Inzin hiruba irum barki shi, san zoo ni barki ihem. Acetiha ahira.
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].”
Toma sa atissame bibara, magun nu kasu anu tarsa umeme, “Acatidusa barki tiwi nogome nan Yeso”.
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 Yeso ma buki, makem Li'azaru mamu wuna tiye tinaazi anyimo acau.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Ubatanya uzi mamu nan nu Urshalima, “Tanu tini cin sa ti zoome piit nan we.
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Ma Yahudawa gbardang wa eh u iso u Maryamu nan matta tiyom ti wono unu uwe.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Sa Matta ma kunna Yeso ma eh ze, bama dusa barki maka kemme, a Maryamu ma ciki anyimo kura.
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]!
Matta magun Yeso, “Ugomo Asere, dagu urani unu ura, mada wonoba”.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
A anu ma vat imube sawa ikko ahira Asere madi nyawe.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Yeso ma gunme, “Unu uwe madi vengize”.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Ba matta ma gunme, “Min rusa maa vengize roo nu hira anu wijo roni mara vat”.
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].
Yeso magunme, “Mimani uhirsa a nu wijo, im mani u veno ize, desa maa nya kaduren in mi, in ma wono madi vengize.
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
Anime vat desa ma vengize, mahem in mi, mada wono ba, wa hem in ani me?” (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!”
Ba magunme, “mh. Ugomo Asere, mahem ma inko iriba hamani vena Asere sa u eh ze unee.
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 maa buki anime, makuri makatita uhe nu me Maryamuanikira. magu “Unu dungara mabiki, matissawe”.
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Sa ma kunna anime, mahiri dibe maha ahirame.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Yeso mazi mamu ribe akkupinme ba, maraa ahirame sa matta ma kem meni.
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.
Nan ma Yahudawa maginome sa ma zi nan Maryamu, ande sawa eh me tiyom. Wairi ma suro akura dibe, watar sime, waa basa agi mahana a so a ni icau.
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!”
Sa Maryamu mabiki ahira a Yeso, ma rizi atibuna tumeme, magu, “Asere, agi wa zi nan haru, uhenu um mada wonoba”.
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 Yeso ma irame mazinna so, nan ma Yahudawa ma gino sama tar sime, ma bassa anyimo abibe bilau makuri ma wuzi ma aye.
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
Magu, “Abani ya natameni?” bawa gunme, “Asere, aye ira”.
35 Jesus began to cry.
Yeso ma shi.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Ma Yahuidawa wagu, “ira u hemme sama zini ahira a Li'azaru!”
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]”
Aye wagu, “Unu geme sa ma nya u rubo u hira hira, madake makarti unu uge me iwonoba?
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.
Yeso mazinnu basa abanga in nice nume, madusa icaume, icaume ubere unu a inpin inipo.
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!”
Yeso magu, “Akari nipome” matta u he nu u Li'azaru sa wi, magun Yeso, “Asere, nipomme naa mu ma wuna tiye tinaazi”.
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]?”
Yeso magunme, “Magunan u inki wa hem udi iri ubari Asere”.
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].
Wa kari nipome. Yeso ma yeze aje magu, “Acoo, ankoi barki u kunnam”.
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.”
In rusa ukunnam vat uganiya, barki nigura nige sana katem inzin tizee tiginome, barki wa hem hamani wa tumam.
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Sama guna anime, mayeze nimyiran magu, “Li'azaru, suro!
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].
Uni wonome ma suri, tibuna tumeme nan tari me atirzi innu malti, muhenu me a impi unu poru. Yeso maa gunwe, “Soponi me, madusa”.
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]).
Anyimo Yahudawa sa wa eh ahira a Maryamu wa iri mmme sa Yeso ma wuza, wahem.
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Aye wukuri ahiraanu bezi urusa wa buku we imumbe sa Yeso ma wuza.
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!
Ana katuma kadang ka sere nan anu bezi urusa wa ari ti cukum ahira inde, wagu, “nyaani tidi wuzi?” unu geme mazin nu bezi imum gbardang.
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!”
Inki ta ceki me anime, vat wadi hem imme, ma Romawa wadi eh waburi a hira aru nan ti mum tiru.
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]!
Vat anime, uye anyomo, kayafa sa me mani unu dangdang ukatuma ka sere aniwe niginome, magun wa “Ita shi imumba”.
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.”
Daki ya merum unu inde mawi barki anu, innu vat ta nu wawi.
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.
Mabuki anime barki daki ni ce nu meba, barki me mani una katuma ka sere kadang, mawuzi tizee tigino ubezi uguna Yeso madiwi wi barki anabu.
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].
Daa barki sa anu cas ba, barki a orso ahana Asere sa wa shagali ahira a inde.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Datti usuro uwui ugino me watubi unyara una uhuna u Yeso.
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].
Datti abinime Yeso ma cekki tanu amasa anyimo a Yaudawa, makuri unire nikira anija ai pine sa atissa Ifraimu. Abirko me ma cukunonan nanu tarsa umeme.
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].
Uganiya vidi wa Yahudawa wa eh maa mu, vat uwe wadusa u urshalima ani kira nini pin me da uwui u idime wamu aye ba barki wa kpici ace a we.
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?”
Waribe unyara Yeso in tize inna cece awe sa wa tutur anyimo u denge Asere, agi, “Nyani ibassa? mada aye me u idime ba?”.
Unakatuma kadang ka sere nan anu bezi rusa wamu nya tize agi vat ahira sa a ira Yeso ni a eh abukkuwe barki waka mikime.
