John 11
1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Zvino mumwe murume ainzi Razaro akanga achirwara. Aibva kuBhetani, musha waMaria naMarita mukoma wake.
2 (It was [that] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Maria uyu, ane hanzvadzi yake Razaro akanga avete achirwara, ndiye uya akadururira mafuta anonhuhwira pana Ishe uye akapukuta tsoka dzake nebvudzi rake.
3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Saka hanzvadzi dzake dzakatuma shoko kuna Jesu, dzikati, “Ishe, uya wamunoda ari kurwara.”
4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
Akati anzwa izvozvo, Jesu akati, “Kurwara uku hakumusvitsi kurufu. Kwete, kune chokuita nokukudzwa kwaMwari kuitira kuti Mwanakomana waMwari akudzwe kubudikidza naizvozvo.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Jesu aida Marita, nomununʼuna wake uye naRazaro.
6 When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Asi paakanzwa kuti Razaro akanga achirwara, akagara paakanga ari kwamamwe mazuva maviri.
7 Then after that he saith to [his] disciples, Let us ho into Judea again.
Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatidzokerei kuJudhea.”
8 [His] disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Vakati kwaari, “Asika Rabhi, nguva pfupi ichangopfuura, vaJudha vakanga vachiedza kukutakai namabwe, zvino munoda kudzokerazve ikoko here?”
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Jesu akapindura akati, “Ko, nguva hadzizi gumi nembiri pazuva here? Munhu anofamba masikati haagumburwi, nokuti anoona nechiedza chenyika ino.
10 But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Anogumburwa paanenge achifamba usiku, nokuti haana chiedza.”
11 These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
Akati ataura izvi, akaenderera mberi achiti kwavari, “Shamwari yedu Razaro avata; asi ndiri kuenda ikoko kunomumutsa.”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.
Vadzidzi vake vakapindura vakati, “Ishe, kana akavata, achaita zviri nani.”
13 Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.
Jesu akanga achitaura nezvorufu rwake, asi vadzidzi vake vakafunga kuti akanga achireva kuvata hope chaidzo.
14 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Saka ipapo akavataurira pachena akati, “Razaro afa,
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.
uye nokuda kwenyu, ndinofara nokuti ndakanga ndisiko, kuitira kuti imi mugotenda. Asi ngatichiendai kwaari.”
16 Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Ipapo Tomasi Dhidhimo akati kuvadzidzi vose, “Ngatiendei, kuti tinofawo naye.”
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
Jesu paakasvika akawana Razaro anguva ava muguva kwamazuva mana.
18 (Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant.)
Bhetani yaiva makiromita angangosvika matatu kubva muJerusarema,
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
uye vaJudha vazhinji vakanga vauya kuna Marita naMaria kuti vazovanyaradza pakurasikirwa kwavo nehanzvadzi yavo.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.
Marita akati anzwa kuti Jesu auya, akabuda kundomuchingamidza, asi Maria akasara mumba.
21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Marita akati kuna Jesu, “Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
22 But I know that even now, whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
Asi ndinoziva kuti kunyange izvozvi Mwari achakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira.”
23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Jesu akati kwaari, “Hanzvadzi yako ichamukazve.”
24 Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Marita akati, “Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka kwezuva rokupedzisira.”
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndini kumuka noupenyu. Uyo anotenda kwandiri achararama, kunyange dai akafa;
uye ani naani anorarama uye anotenda mandiri haangatongofi. Unotenda here izvi?” (aiōn g165)
27 She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
Iye akati, “Hongu, Ishe, ndinotenda kuti ndimi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uyo akanzi achauya panyika.”
28 And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Akati ataura izvozvo, akadzokera akandodana parutivi mununʼuna wake Maria. Akati, “Mudzidzisi ari pano, uye ari kukubvunza.”
29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came to him.
Maria akati anzwa izvozvo, akasimuka nokukurumidza akaenda kwaari.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Zvino Jesu akanga asati apinda mumusha, asi akanga achiri panzvimbo paya paakanga asangana naMarita.
31 The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep there.
VaJudha vakanga vari mumba naMaria, vachimunyaradza, vakati vachiona kuti akurumidza sei kusimuka achibuda kunze, vakamutevera, vachifunga kuti zvimwe akanga oenda kuguva kuti andochema ikoko.
32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Maria akati asvika panzvimbo pakanga pana Jesu uye akamuona, akawira patsoka dzake akati, “Ishe, dai manga muri pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled;
Jesu akati achimuona achichema, uye vaJudha vakanga vauya naye vachichemawo, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo mumweya make uye akatambudzika.
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
Akavabvunza akati, “Mamuradzika kupiko?” Vakati kwaari, “Uyai muone, Ishe.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu akachema.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Ipapo vaJudha vakati, “Onai kuti aimuda sei!”
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Asi vamwe vavo vakati, “Ko, uyu akasvinudza bofu akanga asingagoni here kuita kuti munhu uyu arege kufa?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Jesu, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo, akasvika paguva. Rakanga riri bako rine dombo rakanga rakaradzikwa rakachinjika mukova waro.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been [dead] four days.
Akati, “Bvisai ibwe.” Marita, hanzvadzi yomurume akanga afa akati, “Asika, Ishe, pari zvino ava kunhuhwa, nokuti atova mazuva mana arimo.”
40 Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ko, handina kukuudza here kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?”
41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me:
Saka vakabvisa ibwe. Ipapo Jesu akatarisa kudenga akati, “Baba, ndinokuvongai nokuti mandinzwa.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Ndinozviziva kuti munogara muchindinzwa, asi ndareva izvi nokuda kwavanhu vamire pano, kuti vatende kuti imi makandituma.”
43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Akati areva izvozvo, Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru akati, “Razaro, buda!”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.
Murume akanga afa uya akabuda, maoko ake namakumbo zvakapombwa nemicheka, uye chiso chake chakafukidzwa nomucheka. Jesu akati kwavari, “Mubvisei nguo dzomuguva mumurege aende.”
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Naizvozvo vazhinji vavaJudha vakanga vauya kuzoshanyira Maria, uye vaona zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, vakatenda kwaari.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Asi vamwe vavo vakaenda kuvaFarisi vakavaudza zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles.
Ipapo vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakadana musangano weDare Guru ravaJudha. Vakati, “Tiri kuiteiko? Hounoka murume ari kuita zviratidzo zvesimba zvizhinji.
48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
Kana tikamurega achienderera mberi saizvozvi, munhu wose achatenda kwaari, uye vaRoma vachauya vakatitorera zvose nzvimbo yedu nenyika yedu.”
49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,
Ipapo mumwe wavo ainzi Kayafasi, akanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro akataura achiti, “Hamuna zvamunoziva imi!
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Hamuzivi here kuti zviri nani kwamuri kuti munhu mumwe afire vanhu pano kuti rudzi rwose ruparare.”
51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Haana kungotaura izvi pachake, asi sezvaakanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro, akaprofita kuti Jesu aizofira rudzi rwavaJudha,
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
uye rusati rwuri rudzi irworwo bedzi asiwo vana vaMwari vakapararira, kuti avaunganidze agovaita vamwe.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death.
Saka kubva pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi, vakarangana kumuuraya.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzofamba pachena pakati pavaJudha. Asi akabva akaenda kudunhu raiva pedyo nerenje, kumusha wainzi Efuremu, kwaakandogara navadzidzi vake.
55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Pasika yavaJudha yakati yoswedera, vazhinji vaibva munyika iyo vakakwidza kuJerusarema kuti vandozvinatsa Pasika isati yasvika.
56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
Vakaramba vachitsvaka Jesu, uye pavakanga vamire mutemberi, vakabvunzana vakati, “Munofungeiko? Haasi kuzouya kumutambo here?”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show [it], that they might take him.
Asi vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakanga varayira kuti kana paine anenge aziva kuna Jesu, aifanira kuvazivisa kuitira kuti vagomusunga.
