John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
Ie eneñ’ andro taolo’ i Fihelañey, le nomb’e Betania mb’eo t’Iesoà, amy nampivañoneñe i Lazarosy amy havilasiy.
2 There a supper was given in honour at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
Le nañalankaña’ iereo ty mahakama hariva, i Marta ty nitoroñe, le mpiamo nidegañe am-pandambañañe mindre ama’eo t’i Lazarosy.
3 So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
Rinambe’ i Marie ty soli-drame rai-litatse saro-bily naho nahoso’e ty fandia’ Iesoà vaho nifaohe’e ami’ty maroi’e o fandia’eo, le nañatseke i anjombay ty harifondrifo’ i solikey.
4 One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked:
Le hoe t’i Jodasy nte-K’riote, raik’ amo mpiama’eo, i nikilily hifotetse azey:
5 “Why was not this perfume sold for thirty pounds, and the money given to poor people?”
Akore te tsy naletake bogady telon-jato i solikey hatolotse amo rarakeo?
6 He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
Tsy t’ie ni-mpitretrè rarake te nanao izay, fa toe ni-mpikizo. Ie nimpitàn-koroñe vaho nampikamets’ ama’e.
7 “Let her alone,” said Jesus, “that she may keep it till the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
Le hoe t’Iesoà: Adono, fa nahaja’e ho ami’ty andro andeveñañe ahy o raha zao.
8 The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.”
Mbe ama’ areo lomoñandro o rarakeo; fe izaho tsy ho ama’ areo nainai’e.
9 Now great numbers of the Jews found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not solely on his account, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Aa le maro amo Tehodao ro nahafohiñe t’ie tao vaho nimb’eo, tsy ty amy Iesoà avao, fa t’ie hahaisake i Lazarosy natroa’e amy havilasiy.
10 The Chief Priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
Aa le nikinia hañè-doza amy Lazarosy ka o mpisorom-beio.
11 because it was owing to him that many of the Jews had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
amy t’ie ty nivevea’ ty Jiosy maro, vaho niato am’ Iesoà.
12 On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm-branches,
Amy loak’androy, ty valobohoke bey niavy hamonjy i sabadidakey, ie nahajanjiñe te fa hizilike am’Ierosalaime t’Iesoà,
13 and went out to meet him, shouting as they went: “‘God save Him! Blessed is He who Comes in the name of the Lord’ — The King of Israel!”
ro nandrambe ràn-tsatrañe naho niavotse hifanalaka ama’e vaho nisalale ty hoe: Ehe rombaho! Andriañeñe t’i Mpanjaka’ Israele! I mitotsak’ ami’ty tahina’ Iehovày
14 Having found a young ass, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of Scripture —
Ie nahatendrek’ ana-borìke t’Iesoà le niningitse, ty amy pinatetse, ty hoe:
15 ‘Fear not, Daughter of Zion; Behold, thy King is coming to thee, Sitting on the foal of an ass.’
Ko hembañe, ry anak-ampela’ i Ziona; Heheke! totsake i Mpanjaka’oy, miningitse ana-borìke.
16 His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in Scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
Tsy nirendre’ o mpiama’eo hey izay; ie nirèngeñe t’Iesoà vaho nitiahi’ iereo te pinatetse ty ama’e izay naho t’ie nanoeñe.
17 Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
Aa le nivave talily, ondaty nindre ama’e t’ie nikanjy i Lazarosy hiakatse i lonakey vaho nampitroare’e an-kavilasy.
18 This, indeed, was why the crowd met him — because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
Izay ka ty talim-panalakà’ i màroy aze, ie nahajanjiñe te nanoe’e i viloñe zay.
19 So the Pharisees said to one another: “You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!”
Aa le nifanao ty hoe o Fariseoo: Hehe te milesa nahareo, inao, mañorik’ aze iaby ty voatse toy.
20 Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
Tamo nionjomb’eo hitalaho amy sabadidakeio ty nte-Grika
21 who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said: “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
niheo mb’amy Filipo nte Betsaida’ i Galilia mb’eo nipay aze ami’ty hoe: O aba, te hahatrea Iesoà zahay.
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
Nimb’amy Andrea mb’eo t’i Filipo amy entañe zay, le sinaontsi’ i Filipo naho i Andrea am’ Iesoà.
23 This was his reply — “The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Fa tondroke ty ora te ho rengèñe i Ana’ ondatiy.
24 In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
Eka! to t’itaroñako, naho tsy mipok’ an-tane eo ty tabirin’ ampemba vaho mate, le midoñe ho tokañe ao avao; fa ie mate ro hamokatse bey.
25 He who loves his life loses it; while he who hates his life in the present world shall preserve it for Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
Ze mikoko ty fiai’e ro mampianto aze; f’ie malain-ty fiai’e ami’ty voatse toy ro mañaja aze ho amy haveloñe nainai’ey. (aiōnios g166)
26 If a man is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant shall be also. If a man is ready to serve me, my Father will honour him.
Naho eo ty hitoroñ’ ahy, soa re te hañorik’ ahy; fa amy itoerako ty hitoera’ i mpitorokoy; iasian-dRae ze mitoroñe ahy.
27 Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour — yet it was for this very reason that I came to this hour —
Embetse ty troko henaneo, inoñe ty ho volañeko? O Aba rombaho ami’ty ora toy iraho? fe toe talin-diako ty ora toy.
28 Father, honour thine own name.” At this there came a voice from Heaven, which said: “I have already honoured it, and I will honour it again.”
O Aba, rengeo ty tahina’o. Le niboak’ andindìñe ao ty fiarañanañañe nanao ty hoe: Fa nirengèko mbore ho rengèko.
29 The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said: “An angel has been speaking to him.”
Nahajanjiñe izay i màro nizorazoray, le hoe iereo: Nangotroke! hoe ka ty ila’e: Nisaontsia’ ty Anjely.
30 “It was not for my sake that the voice came,” said Jesus, “but for yours.
Hoe ty natoi’ Iesoà: Tsy izaho ty niboaha’ i fiarañanañañey, fa inahareo.
31 Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world shall be driven out;
Henane zao o fizakañe ty voatse toio; henaneo ty hañitoañe ty mpifehe’ ty voatse toy.
32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men to myself.”
Aa ie ongaheñe ami’ty tane toy iraho le ho taoneko amako ze kila ondaty.
33 By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
Ty hampahafohinañe i havilasy ho lià’ey i nisaontsie’ey.
34 “We,” replied the people, “have learned from the Law that the ‘Christ is to remain for ever’; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be ‘lifted up’ Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
Natoi’ i màroy ty hoe: Jinanji’ay amy Hake ao te ho veloñe nainai’e i Norizañey, aa vaho akore ty anoa’o ty hoe: Tsy mahay tsy hengaeñe i Ana’ ondatiy? Ia ze o Ana’ ondaty zao? (aiōn g165)
35 “Only a little while longer,” answered Jesus, “will you have the Light among you. Travel on while you have the Light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Le hoe t’Iesoà am’iereo: Mbe tsitrà-pie ty hindrezan-kazavàñe ama’ areo. Mañaveloa t’ie an-kazavàñe, ke hivotrahañ’ ieñe; amy te tsy apota’ ty mpañavelo añ’ieñe ao ty homba’e.
36 While you still have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be ‘Sons of Light.’” After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
Ie mbe ama’ areo i hazavàñey, le iantofo i hazavañey, soa t’ie ho anan-kazavàñe. Ie tsinara’ Iesoà le nienga vaho nietake.
37 But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
Ndra te maro ty viloñe nanoe’ Iesoà añatrefa’ iereo, tsy niantoke iereo,
38 in fulfilment of the words of the Prophet Isaiah, where he says — ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?’
hampahaheneke i enta’ Isaia mpitoky nitsarae’ey, ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, ia ty niantoke ty talili’ay? Vaho nampalangeseñe ama’ia ty fità’ Iehovà?
39 The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words —
Aa le tsy mete nañaoñe iereo, amy tinovo’ Isaiay ty hoe:
40 ‘He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn — And I should heal them.’
Nigoae’e ty fihaino’ iareo, naho nampigañe’e ty arofo’ iareo, soa tsy hahaisake ty fihaino’ iareo ndra hahaoniñe ty arofo’ iareo, himpolia’ iereo ho jangañeko.
41 Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
Nitaroñe’ Isaia izay, ie nahaoniñe ty enge’e vaho nitalily aze.
42 Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, on account of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, for fear that they should be expelled from their Synagogues;
Toe maro amo roandriam-beio ty niantok’ aze; f’ie tsy nitalily aze ty amo Fariseoo, hera haitoañe amo fitontonañeo,
43 for they valued honour from men more than honour from God.
amy te ninò’ iareo ty fandrengea’ ondatio ambone’ ty fandrengean’ Añahare.
44 But Jesus had proclaimed: “He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
Nikoike ty hoe t’Iesoà: Ze miato amako, tsy izaho ty atokisa’e, fa i Nañitrik’ Ahiy.
45 and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
Mahaoniñe i nañirak’ Ahiy ty mahaisak’ ahy.
46 I have come as a Light into the world, that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
Pok’ etoa ho failo ami’ty voatse toy iraho, soa tsy hidoñe am-pimoromoroñañe ao o miato amakoo.
47 When any one hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Naho eo ty mijanjiñe o volakoo fe tsy mañambeñe, tsy izaho ty hizak’ aze, amy te tsy t’ie hizaka ty voatse toy ty nombako mb’etoañe, fa ty handrombake ty voatse toy.
48 He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already — the very Message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last Day.
Ty mifary ahy naho tsy mandrambe o volakoo, ao ty hizaka aze; toe hizaka aze amy andro honka’ey o entañe vinolakoo.
49 For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
Izaho tsy nivolañe an-joton-troke; fa i Raeko nañitrik’ Ahy, Ie ty nanolotse lily ahiko: ze ho volañeko naho ze ho taroñeko.
