< 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.
आता बेथानीतील लाजर नावाचा एक मनुष्य आजारी होता. हे मरीया व तिची बहीण मार्था या त्याच गावच्या होत्या.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
तिने सुवासिक तेल घेऊन प्रभूला लावले व आपल्या केसांनी त्याचे पाय धुतले ती हीच मरीया होती आणि तिचा भाऊ लाजर आजारी होता.
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
म्हणून त्याच्या बहिणींनी येशूला निरोप पाठवून कळवले, “प्रभूजी, बघा, आपण ज्याच्यावर प्रीती करता तो आजारी आहे.”
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].”
पण ते ऐकून येशू म्हणाला, “हा आजार मरणासाठी नाही पण देवाच्या गौरवासाठी आहे; म्हणजे देवाच्या पुत्राचे त्याच्यायोगे गौरव व्हावे.”
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
आता मरीया व तिची बहीण मार्था आणि लाजर यांच्यावर येशू प्रीती करीत होता.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
म्हणून तो आजारी आहे हे त्याने ऐकले तरी तो होता त्या ठिकाणीच आणखी दोन दिवस राहिला.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
मग त्यानंतर, त्याने शिष्यांना म्हटले, “आपण पुन्हा यहूदीया प्रांतात जाऊ या.”
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]”
शिष्य त्यास म्हणाले, “रब्बी, यहूदी लोक आपल्याला आताच दगडमार करू पाहत होते आणि आपण पुन्हा तिकडे जाता काय?”
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.
येशूने उत्तर दिले, “दिवसाचे बारा तास आहेत की नाहीत? दिवसा जर कोणी चालतो तर त्यास ठेच लागत नाही, कारण तो या जगाचा उजेड पाहतो;
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
१०पण जर कोणी रात्री चालतो तर त्यास ठेच लागते कारण त्याच्याठायी उजेड नाही.”
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.”
११येशू या गोष्टी बोलल्यावर, तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “आपला मित्र लाजर झोपला आहे, पण मी त्यास झोपेतून उठवावयास जातो.”
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].”
१२म्हणून त्याचे शिष्य त्यास म्हणाले, “प्रभूजी, त्यास झोप लागली असेल तर तो बरा होईल.”
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
१३आता येशू त्याच्या मरणाविषयी बोलला होता. झोपेतून मिळण्याऱ्या आरामाविषयी बोलतो असे त्यांना वाटले.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
१४मग येशूने उघडपणे सांगितले, “लाजर मरण पावला आहे.
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.”
१५आणि मी तिथे नव्हतो म्हणून तुमच्यासाठी मला आनंद वाटतो, कारण माझी अशी इच्छा आहे की, तुम्ही विश्वास ठेवावा. तरी आपण त्याच्याकडे जाऊ या.”
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].”
१६मग ज्याला दिदुम म्हणत तो थोमा आपल्या सोबतीच्या शिष्यांना म्हणाला, “आपणही याच्याबरोबर मरावयास जाऊ या.”
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.
१७मग येशू आला तेव्हा त्यास कळले की, त्यास कबरेत ठेऊन चार दिवस झाले आहेत.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
१८आता बेथानी नगर यरूशलेम शहरापासून सुमारे तीन किलोमीटर होते.
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
१९आणि यहूदी लोकांपैकी पुष्कळजण मार्था व मरीया यांच्याकडे त्यांच्या भावाबद्दल त्यांचे सांत्वन करण्यास आले होते.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
२०म्हणून येशू येत आहे हे ऐकताच मार्था त्यास जाऊन भेटली, पण मरीया घरांतच बसून राहिली.
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]!
२१तेव्हा मार्था येशूला म्हणाली, “प्रभूजी, आपण येथे असता तर माझा भाऊ मरण पावला नसता.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
२२तरी आताही जे काही आपण देवाजवळ मागाल ते देव आपल्याला देईल, हे मला ठाऊक आहे.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
२३येशूने तिला म्हटले, “तुझा भाऊ पुन्हा उठेल.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
२४मार्था त्यास म्हणाली, “तो शेवटल्या दिवशी पुनरुत्थानसमयी पुन्हा उठेल हे मला ठाऊक आहे.”
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].
२५येशूने तिला म्हटले, “पुनरुत्थान व जीवन मीच आहे. जो माझ्यावर विश्वास ठेवतो तो मरण पावला असला तरी जगेल.
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
२६आणि जिवंत असलेला प्रत्येकजण जो माझ्यावर विश्वास ठेवतो तो कधीही मरणार नाही, यावर तू विश्वास ठेवतेस काय?” (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!”
२७ती त्यास म्हणाली, “होय, प्रभूजी, जगात येणारा जो देवाचा पुत्र ख्रिस्त तो आपणच आहात असा विश्वास मी धरला आहे.”
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.”
२८आणि एवढे बोलून ती निघून गेली व आपली बहीण मरीया हिला एकीकडे बोलवून म्हटले, “गुरूजी आले आहेत आणि ते तुला बोलावत आहे.”
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
२९मरियेने हे ऐकताच, ती लवकर उठून त्याच्याकडे गेली.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
३०आता, येशू अजून गावात आला नव्हता, पण मार्था त्यास जेथे भेटली त्याच ठिकाणी होता.
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.
३१तेव्हा जे यहूदी मरियेबरोबर घरात होते व तिचे सांत्वन करीत होते, मरीया घाईघाईने उठून बाहेर जातांना पाहिल्यावर, ती कबरेकडे रडावयास जात आहे असे समजून ते तिच्यामागे गेले.
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!”
३२मग येशू होता तेथे मरीया आल्यावर त्यास पाहून ती त्याच्या पाया पडली व त्यास म्हणाली, “प्रभूजी, आपण येथे असता तर माझा भाऊ मरण पावला नसता.”
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.
३३जेव्हा, येशू तिला व तिच्याबरोबर आलेल्या यहूदी लोकांस रडतांना पाहून तो आत्म्यात कळवळला व अस्वस्थ झाला;
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
३४आणि म्हणाला, “तुम्ही त्यास कोठे ठेवले आहे?” ते त्यास म्हणाले, “प्रभूजी, येऊन पाहा.”
35 Jesus began to cry.
३५येशू रडला.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
३६यावरुन यहूदी लोक म्हणाले, “पाहा, याची त्याच्यावर कितीतरी प्रीती होती!”
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]”
३७परंतु त्यांच्यांतील कित्येक म्हणाले, “ज्याने त्या आंधळ्याचे डोळे उघडले त्या या मनुष्यास, हा मरू नये असे सुद्धा करता आले नसते काय?”
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.
३८येशू पुन्हा अंतःकरणात खवळून कबरेकडे आला. ती एक गुहा होती व तिच्या तोंडावर धोंड ठेवलेली होती.
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!”
३९येशूने म्हटले, “धोंड काढा.” मृताची बहीण मार्था त्यास म्हणाली, “प्रभूजी, आता त्यास दुर्गंधी येत असेल; कारण त्यास मरून चार दिवस झाले आहेत.”
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]?”
४०येशूने तिला म्हटले, “तू विश्वास ठेवशील तर तू देवाचे गौरव पाहशील असे मी तुला सांगितले नव्हते काय?”
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].
४१तेव्हा त्यांनी धोंड काढली; आणि येशूने डोळे वर करून म्हणाला, “हे पित्या, तू माझे ऐकले म्हणून मी तुझे उपकार मानतो.
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.”
४२मला माहीत आहे की, तू माझे नेहमी ऐकतोस, तरी जे लोक सभोवती उभे आहेत त्यांच्याकरिता मी बोललो, यासाठी की, तू मला पाठवले आहे असा त्यांनी विश्वास धरावा.”
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
४३असे म्हटल्यावर त्याने मोठ्याने हाक मारली, “लाजरा, बाहेर ये.”
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].
४४तेव्हा जो मरण पावलेला होता तो बाहेर आला; त्याचे हातपाय प्रेतवस्त्रांनी बांधलेले व तोंड रुमालाने गुंडाळलेले होते. येशूने त्यांना म्हटले, “ह्याला मोकळे करून जाऊ द्या.”
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]).
४५तेव्हा मरियेकडे आलेल्या यहूदी लोकांनी त्याने जे केले ते पाहिले आणि त्यांच्यातल्या पुष्कळांनी त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवला;
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
४६पण कित्येकांनी परूश्यांकडे जाऊन येशूने केले ते त्यांना सांगितले.
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!
४७मग मुख्य याजकांनी व परूश्यांनी सभा भरवून म्हटले, “आपण काय करीत आहो? कारण तो मनुष्य पुष्कळ चमत्कार करीत आहे.
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!”
४८आपण त्यास असेच सोडले तर सर्व लोक त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवतील; आणि रोमी लोक येऊन आपले स्थान आणि राष्ट्रही हिरावून घेतील.”
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]!
४९तेव्हा त्यांच्यापैकी कयफा नावाचा कोणीएक मनुष्य जो त्या वर्षी महायाजक होता, तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “तुम्हास काहीच कळत नाही.
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.”
५०प्रजेसाठी एका मनुष्याने मरावे आणि सर्व राष्ट्राचा नाश होऊ नये तुम्हास फायदेशीर आहे, हेही तुम्ही लक्षात आणत नाही.”
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.
५१आणि हे तर तो आपल्या मनाचे बोलला नाही; तर त्या वर्षी तो मुख्य याजक असल्यामुळे त्याने संदेश दिला की, येशू त्या राष्ट्रासाठी मरणार आहे.
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].
५२आणि केवळ त्या राष्ट्रासाठी असे नाही, तर यासाठी की त्याने देवाच्या पांगलेल्या मुलांसही एकत्र जमवून एक करावे.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
५३यावरुन त्या दिवसापासून, त्यांनी त्यास जीवे मारण्याचा आपसात निश्चय केला.
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].
५४म्हणून त्यानंतर येशू यहूदी लोकात उघडपणे फिरला नाही; तर तेथून रानाजवळच्या प्रांतांतील एफ्राईम नावाच्या नगरास गेला व तेथे आपल्या शिष्यांबरोबर राहिला.
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].
५५तेव्हा यहूद्यांचा वल्हांडण सण जवळ आला होता; आणि पुष्कळ लोक वल्हांडणाच्या अगोदर, आपणास शुद्ध करून घ्यावयास बाहेर गावाहून वर यरूशलेम शहरास गेले.
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?”
५६आणि ते येशूला शोधित होते व ते परमेश्वराच्या भवनात उभे राहून त्यांनी एकमेकांना म्हणत होते, “तुम्हास काय वाटते? सणास तो मुळीच येणार नाही का?”
५७आता मुख्य याजकांनी व परूश्यांनी तर त्यास धरण्याच्या हेतूने अशी आज्ञा केली होती की, तो कोठे आहे असे जर कोणाला समजले तर त्याने कळवावे.
