John 12
1 Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
Bada Iesus sey egun bazcoren aitzinetic ethor cedin Bethaniara, non baitzén Lazaro hil içan cena, cein resuscitatu baitzuen hiletaric.
2 There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
Eguin cieçoten bada hari affaribat han, eta Marthac cerbitzua eguiten çuen: eta Lazaro cen harequin mahainean iarriric ceudenetaric bat.
3 Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
Orduan Mariac harturic liberabat vnguentu aspic finez precio handitacoric, vncta citzan Iesusen oinac, eta ichuca citzan bere adatsaz: eta etchea bethe cedin vnguentuaren vrrinez.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
Orduan erran ceçan haren discipuluetaric batec, Iudas Iscariot Simonen semeac, hura tradituren çuenac.
5 He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
Ceren vnguentu haur ezta saldu içan hirurehun dinerotan, eta eman paubrey?
6 He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
Eta haur erran ceçan, ez paubrez harc ansiaric çuenez: baina ceren ohoin baitzen, eta mulsá baitzuen, eta eçarten ciradenac harc ekarten baitzituen.
7 Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
Erran ceçan bada Iesusec, Vtzi eçac, ene sepultura eguneco hori beguiratu dic.
8 There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
Ecen paubreac bethiere vkanen dituçue çuequin: baina ni eznauçue bethiere vkanen.
9 A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
Orduan eçagut ceçan Iuduetaric gendetze handic, ecen han cela: eta ethor citecen ez Iesusgatic solament, baina are Lazaro ikus leçatençat, cein harc hiletaric resuscitatu baitzuen.
10 So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
Eta consulta ceçaten Sacrificadore principalec Lazaro-ere hil leçatençát.
11 because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
Ecen Iuduetaric anhitz haren causaz ioaiten ciraden, eta sinhesten çuten Iesus baithan.
12 The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Biharamunean bestara ethorri içan cen gendetze handic, ençunic ecen Iesus ethorten cela Ierusalemera,
13 So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
Har citzaten palma adarrac, eta ilki cequizquion aitzinera, eta oihu eguiten çutén, Hosanna, Benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten den Israeleco reguea.
14 When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
Eta eriden ceçan Iesusec asto-vme arbat, eta iar cedin haren gainean, scribatua den beçala,
15 You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
Ezaicela beldur Siongo alabá: huná, hire Regue ethorten dun iarriric dagoela asto-vme ar-baten gainean.
16 At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
Eta gauça hauc etzitzaten eçagut haren discipuluéc lehenetic: baina Iesus glorificatu içan cenean, orduan orhoit citecen ecen gauça hauc harçaz scribatuac ciradela, eta hari gauça hauc eguin cerautzatela.
17 The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
Eta testificatzen çuen harequin cen gendetzeac, ecen Lazaro deithu çuela monumentetic, eta hura resuscitatu çuela hiletaric.
18 Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
Halacotz atzinera ethorri-ere içan çayón gendetzea, ecen ençun çuten, harc miraculu haur eguin çuela.
19 So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
Eta Phariseuéc erran ceçaten bere artean, Eztacussaçue ecen etzaretela deus probetchatzen? horrá, mundua haren ondoan ioan da.
20 Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
Eta baciraden Grec batzu igaiten ohi ciradenetaric adoratzera bestán:
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
Hauc bada ethor citecen Philippegana cein baitzén Bethsaidaco Galilean, eta othoitz eguin cieçoten, cioitela, Iauna, nahi guendiquec Iesus ikussi.
22 So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
Ethorten da Philippe eta erraiten drauca Andriui, Andriuèc berriz eta Philippec erraiten draucate Iesusi.
23 Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
Eta Iesusec ihardets ciecén, cioela, Ethorri da ordua guiçonaren Semea glorificaturen baita.
24 Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, baldin ogui bihia lurrera eroriric hil ezpadadi, hura bera dago: baina baldin hil badadi fructu anhitz ekarten du.
25 Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Bere viciari on daritzanac galduren du hura: eta bere viciari gaitz daritzanac mundu hunetan, vicitze eternalecotzat beguiraturen du hura. (aiōnios g166)
26 If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
Baldin ni cembeitec cerbitzatzen banau, niri iarreiqui bequit: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, han ene cerbitzaria-ere içanen da: eta baldin cembeitec ni cerbitza baneça, ohoraturen du hura ene Aitac.
27 Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
Orain ene arimá trublatua da: eta cer erranen dut? Aitá, empara neçac oren hunetaric: baina halacotz ethorri nauc oren hunetara.
28 My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
Aitá, glorifica eçac eure icena. Ethor cedin orduan vozbat cerutic, cioela, Eta glorificatu diat, eta berriz glorificaturen.
29 The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
Eta gendetze han cenac, eta ençun çuenac, cioen, igorciribat eguin çuela. Bercéc cioiten, Aingueruä minçatu içan çayo.
30 Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran, Ezta enegatic voz haur eguin içan, baina çuengatic.
31 Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
Orain da mundu hunen iugemendua: orain mundu hunetaco princea egotziren da campora.
32 But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
Eta nic, baldin goititua banaiz lurretic, guciac tiraturen ditut neuregana.
33 He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
(Eta haur erraiten çuen, aditzera emaiten çuela cer herioz hil behar çuen)
34 [Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
Ihardets cieçón gendetzeac, Guc ençun diagu Leguetic, ecen Christ badagoela eternalqui: eta nola hic erraiten duc ecen behar dela goiti dadin guiçonaren Semea? nor da guiçonarenSeme hori? (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
Erran ciecén orduan Iesusec, Oraino dembora guti batetacotz Arguia çuequin da: ebil çaitezte Arguia duçueno, ilhumbeac ardiets etzaitzatençát: ecen ilhumbean dabilanac, eztaqui norat ioaiten den.
36 Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
Arguia duçueno sinhets eçaçue. Arguia baithan, Arguiaren seme çaretençat. Gauça hauc erran citzan Iesusec: guero ioanic gorde cedin hetaric.
37 Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
Eta hambat miraculu eguin baçuen-ere hayén aitzinean, etzuten sinhesten hura baithan:
38 [Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
Esaias prophetaren hitza compli ledinçát, cein erran vkan baitu, Iauna, norc sinhetsi vkan du gure hitza, eta Iaunaren bessoa nori reuelatu içan çayo?
39 That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
Halacotz ecin sinhets ceçaqueten, ceren berriz erran baitu Esaiasec,
40 They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
Itsutu vkan ditu hayén beguiac, eta gogortu vkan du hayén bihotza: beguiz ikus ezteçatençat, eta bihotzez adi ez teçaten, eta conuerti ez titecen, eta senda ez titzadan.
41 Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
Gauça hauc erran citzan Esaiasec, haren gloriá ikussi çuenean, eta minçatu içan da harçaz.
42 Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
Badaric-ere principaletaric-ere anhitzec hura baithan sinhets ceçaten: baina Phariseuacgatic etzuten aithortzen, synagogatic campora egotz litecen beldurrez.
43 They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
Ecen maiteago vkan dute guiçonén gloriá, ecen ez Iaincoaren gloriá.
44 [Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
Orduan oihu eguin ceçan Iesusec, eta erran ceçan, Ni baithan sinhesten duenac, eztu sinhesten ni baithan, baina ni igorri nauena baithan.
45 When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
Eta ni ikusten nauenac, ikusten du ni igorri nauena.
46 I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
Ni Argui mundura ethorri naiz, ni baithan sinhesten duenic batre, ilhumbean eztagoençát
47 As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
Eta baldin nehorc ençun baditza ene hitzac, eta ez sinhets, nic eztut condemnatzen hura: ecen eznaiz ethorri mundua condemna deçadançát, baina mundua salua deçadançat.
48 There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
Ni iraizten nauenac, eta ez recebitzen ene hitzac, badu norc hura condemna deçan: ni minçatu naicen hitzac condemnaturen du hura azquen egunean,
49 I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
Ecen ni neure burutic eznaiz minçatu: baina ni igorri nauen Aitac berac manamendu eman draut, cer erran deçaquedan eta cer minça naiten.
50 I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
Eta badaquit ecen haren manamendua vicitze eternal dela: bada nic erraiten ditudan gauçác, nola Aitac eman baitrauzquit, hala erraiten ditut. (aiōnios g166)
