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.
Mbe munu umwi lisina lyaye Lazaro aliga alwaye. Asokele Bethania, mu musi gunu Mariamu no muyala wejabho Martha.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
Aliga ni Mariamu uliya oyo abhambagile Lata bhugenyi Marhamu namukubhula ebhigele byaye kwa jifwili jaye, unu omundulume waye Lazaro aliga alwaye.
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Mbe abhasubhati bhanu nibhasila obhulagile ku Yesu nibhaika ati,” Latabhugenyi, lola uliya umwendele alwaye.
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].”
Yesu ajile ogwa naika ati, Obhulwaye bhunu bhutali bwa kumwita, nawe, kulwalikusho lya Nyamuanga, omwana wa Nyamuanga abhone okukusibwa kubwo bhulwaye.”
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Yesu amwendele Martha no muyala wejabho na Lazaro.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Ajile ongwa ati Lazaro ni mulwaye. Yesu nosayo siku ebhili anu aliga.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Nuwo kulinu nabwila abheigisibwa bhaye ati,” chisubheyo Uyahudi lindi.”
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]”
Abheigisibwa nibhamubwila ati,”Rabi, Wayahudi bhaliga nibhayenja okukulasa amabhui ko wenda okusubheyo lindi.
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.
Yesu nasubya ati, “jisaa ja mu musi jitali ekumina na kabhili? Omunu akalibhata mu mwisi atakutula okwikujulaoku okubha kalola obwelu bwa mu mwisi.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Nolwo kutyo akabha nalibhata mungeta kekujula okubha obwelu bhutalimo mukatungilwe kaye.”
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.”
Yesu naika ati emisango jinu, nabhabwila ati,”Omusani weswe Lazaro aongeye, nawe enigenda koleleki nibhone okumulafya okusoka mu ntilo.”
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].”
Nuwo abheigisibwa bhaye nibhamubwila ati, Lata bhugenyi, alabha aongeye, kaja okulafya.
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Omwanya gunu Yesu aikile ku kufwa kwa Lazaro, nawe abhene nibheganilisha ati kaika ingulu wo kuongela kwa ntilo.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Nuwo Yesu naika nabho bwelu bwlu,”Lazaro afuye.
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.”
Ninalikondelelwa kulwemwe, ati natabheyeo celiya koleleki mubhone okwikwilisha. Chigende mumwene.”
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].”
Mbe Tomaso, oyo katogwa amalongo, nabhabwila abheigisibwa bhejabho ati neswe chigende chifwe amwi na Yesu.”
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.
Omwanya Yesu ejile, asangile Lazaro abheye mufwa siku ena.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Bethania yaliga yei na Yerusalemu sitandio makumi gana netanu kutyo.
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Abhafu agati ya Bhayaudi bhejile ku Martha na Mariamu okubhasilisha kulwo mundulume webwe.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Nuwo Martha ejileongwa ati Yesu kaja, nagenda okumulamila, nawe Mariamu nasigala eyanjile munyumba.
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]!
Mbe Martha namubwila yesu ati,”Lata bhugenyi, wakabheye olio omundulume wani atakafuye.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
Nolwo woli, nimenyele okubha jone ulasabwa okusoka Kunyamuanga, kakuyana.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Yesu namubwila ati, omundulume wao kasuluka lindi.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Martha namubwila ati, nimenyele ati, alisukila kubhusoko bwo lusiku lwo bhutelo.”
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].
Yesu namubwila ati,” Anye nibhusuko no bhuanga unu kekilisha akabheye afuye nolwo kutyo anobhuanga;
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
Noyo kekala no kunyikilisha anye atakufwa. We kilisha linu?” (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!”
Namubwila ati,'Nikwo, Lata Bhugenyi nekilisha awe ni Kristo, omwana wa Nyamuanga, unu kaja musi.”
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.”
Ejille amala okwaika linu nagenda jaye nabhilikila. omuyala wejabho Mariamu mwitebhe. Naika ati omwiigisha alyanu kakubhilikila.
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Mariamu ejile ongwa emukile bhangu, nagenda ku Yesu.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Yesu aliga achali kukinga mu musi, nawe aliga achali anu Martha.
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.
Mbe Abhayahudi bhaliga na Mariamu mu nyumba na bhaliya abhasilisya, bhejile bhamulola nemelegulu bhangu no kusoka anja, nibhamulubha; nibhetogela ati kagenda kufwa ajokulila eyo.
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!”
Mbe mariamu ejile akinga aliya Yesu namulola, agwa asi kubhigele byeye namubwila ati,”Lata bhugenyi, wakabheye ulio omundulume wani atakafuye.”
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.
Yesu ejilia akamulola nalila, na Abhayahudi nibhaja amwi nage bhaliga nibhalila nalumwa mu mwoyo no kusulumbala;
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
Naika ati,” Mwamuteye aki? nibhamubwila ati, Lata bhugenyi, ija ulole.”
35 Jesus began to cry.
Yesu nalila.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Mbe Abhayahudi nibhaika ati,” Lola kwoko aliga amwendele 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]”
Nawe abhafu agati yebwe nibhaika ati,” Atali unu omunu oyo eguye ameso ga uliya oyo aliga muofu, akatulile okuingilila omunu unu atafwa?”
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.
Mbe yesu, nalumwa mumutima gwaye lindi, nagenda kufwa Woli yaliga nsenga, na libhui liteyweko ingulu yaye.
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!”
Yesu naika ati,” Mulisoshewo libhui.”Martha omuyala wejabho na Lazaro, unu afuye, namubwila Yesu ati,”Lata bhugenyi ku mwanya gunu, omubhili gwabholele, kwo kubha afuye siku ena.”
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]?”
Yesu namubwila ati,”Anye nitakubwiliye ati, ukekilisha, oulola likusho lya Nyamuanga?
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].
Kulwejo nasoshao libhui. Yesu nenamusha ameso gaye ingulu anaika ati,”Lata enikusima okubha wanyuguwe.
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.”
Nimenyele ati ounyungwa kusiku, nawe kulwa likofyanya linu lisingiye koleleki naike jinu, bhabhone okwikilisha ati awe wantumele.”
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Ejile amala okwika kutyo, nalila kwo bhulaka bhenene,”Lazaro, soka anja!”
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].
Omufuye nasoka anja abhoyelwe amabhoko na magulu kwo mwenda gwo kusikilwa no bhusu bwaye bhubhoyelwe nechitambala.” Yesu nabhabwila ati,”Nimumusulumule musige agende.”
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]).
Mbe Abhayahudi bhafu bhejile ku Mariamu no kumulola Yesu echoakolele, nibhamwilisha;
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Nawe abhandi yebwe bhagendele ku Mafalisayo nibhamubwila emisango ejoakolele Yesu.
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!
Niwo abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhafalisayo nibhekumanya amwi muchilaji nibhaika ati,”chikole kutiki? omunu unu kakola ebhibhalikisho bhafu.
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!”
Alabha chikamusiga kutyo wenyele, bhone abhamwilisha; Abhalumi bhalija okugega byona isi yeswe na liyanga lyeswe.”
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]!
Nolwo kutyo, omunu umwi mu bhona, Kayafa, aliga mugabhisi Omukulu mumwaka ogwo, nabhabwila ati, “Mutakumenya chonachona chimali.
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.”
Mutakwiganilisha ati kubheile kwemwe ati omunu umwi kwiile okufwa kulwa bhanu kukila liyanga lyona no kubhulao.”
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.
Ganu atagaikile kwokubha omwene aliga mugabhisi omukulu omwaka guliya, nalagila ati Yesu kafwa kulwa liyanga;
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].
Neswe kulwa liyanga Yesu abhone okubhakumanya abhana bha Nyamuanga bhanu bhanyalambukile kulakula.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Kulwejo okusoka kulusiku olwo nokugendelela nibhalwaja okumwita Yesu.
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].
Yesu atalibhatile lindi bwelu bwelu agati ya Bhayaudi, nawe nasokayo nagenda ku chalo chiliyei na ibhala mu mu si ngutogwa Efraimu. Hao eyanjile na bheigisibwa.
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].
Nawe Ipasaka ya Bhayaudi yaliga ayei nabhafu, nibhalinya okugenda Yerusalemu anja yo mu si ichali okubha ipasaka koleleki bhabhone okwiyesha abhene.
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?”
Bhaliga nibhamuyenja Yesu, nibhaikana bhuli umwi awobhaliga bhemeleguyu muyekalu, “Omwiganilisha kutiki? Ati atakuja ku malya?”
Omwanya gunu abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhafarisayo bhaliga bhasosishe obhulamusi ati alabha umwi akamenya Yesu anu ali, aiki koleleki bhabhone okumugwata.
