< John 11 >

1 Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Umong unit unan lissan Laazaru wadi nin konu. Ame unit Nbaitanyari, kagbirin Maryamu nin gwane Marta.
2 (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)
Maryamu une na awa tintilo nnuf kunya kumang nabunun Cikilare awese abune nin titime, gwanemere wadi Laazaru unan kone.
3 So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."
Nuane nishono to kitin Yesu iworoghe, “Cikilari, yene ame ulenge na udi nin suwe dinin konu.”
4 Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
Na Yesu nlanza, a woro, “Na ule ukone unkulari ba, umana so un gongong Kutelleari, bara usaun Kutelle nan se ngongong kitenen nin.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Yesu wayita nin sun Marta nin gwane kishono a Lazaru.
6 When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.
Na awa lanza Lanzaru di nin konu, Yesu kpina ayiri aba kiti kanga na awa yita ku.
7 Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea."
Kimal nani, aworo nono katwawe “Cannari tido u Yahudiya tutung.”
8 "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"
Nono katwawe woroghe, “Rabi, na udandauna ba, na a Yahudawa nyita nin su iffillusu fi, umini di nin su ukpili kite tutungha?”
9 "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees the light of this world.
Yesu kwana, a woro, “Na abiri kubi likureari di nanya liyirin ba? Asa umong din cin nin liring, na ama tiru ba, bara na adin yenju kiti kanang nin liring.
10 But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
Nanya nani, as adin cin nin kitik, aba tiru bara na nkanang di ninghe ba.”
11 He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
Yesu wa bellin uleli ulire, kimal nleli ulire, aworo nani, “Udondong bite Laazaru ndo nmoro, mma du nnan di fyaghe nmore.”
12 "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
Nono katwawe tunna iworoghe, “Cikilari, andi nmoroari adi mum, ama fitu.'
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
Yesu wasu uliru nbellen nkul Laazaruari, inung wa su adin liru nmoro nshinuari.
14 So then He told them plainly,
Yesu nin belle nani kanang, “Laazaru nku.
15 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him."
Nlanza nmang bara anughe, na nni yita kite ba anung nan yinna. Cannari tido kitime.”
16 "Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "that we may die with him."
Tuma, ulenge na iwa yiccughe fibari, woro nadon katwa me, “Na arik wang do ligowe tinan ku ligowe nan Yesu.”
17 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.
Na Yesu nda, ada se Laazaru nmal ti ayiri anas kisekk.
18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;
Ubaitanya wadi susut nin Urshalima, npit mine nafo timel tiba.
19 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
A Yahudawa gbardang wa dak kitin Marta nin Maryamu, ida lissu nani nin kul ngwana mine.
20 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
Marta tunna na a lanza Yesu din cinu, anuzu adi zuro ninghe, Maryamu lawa kilare.
21 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.
Marta tunna aworo Yesu ku, “Cikilari, ndfo uwa duku, na gwana nighe wa kuba.
22 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."
Nene wang, ko iyapin imonari utirino Kutelle, ama nifi inin.”
23 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.
Yesu woronenge, “Gwanafine ma fitu tutung.”
24 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."
Marta woroghe nenge, “In yiru ama fitu tutung kubi nfiyu na nan kul, liri nimalin.”
25 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
Yesu woroghe, “Menghari ufyu na nan kul, Myeri ulai; ulenge na ayinna nin mi, ko aku, ama ti ulai;
26 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
ame ulenge na adi nin lai, aminin yinna nin mi na ama kuba. Uyinna nin le ulire?” (aiōn g165)
27 "Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
Aworoghe nenge, “Nanere, Cikilari, in yinna fere Kristi, Usaun Kutelle, ulenge na adin cinu ucin da nanya nyi.”
28 After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you."
Na a belle nani, a nya adi yiccila Maryamu gwane likot. Aworo, “Unan dursuzu niyerte di kikane, adin yiccufi.”
29 So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him.
Na Maryamu nlaza nani, afita mas ado kitin Yesu.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
Kube na Yesu wadi asa pira nanya kagbire ba awa dutu kite na Marta nni zuro ninghe.
31 So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.
A Yahudawa alenge na iwa dak lippe, wadi ligowe nin Maryamu nanya kilare, na iwa yeneghe afita mas anuzu udas, idofinghe, iwa yenje nafo anuzu ucindu kisseskkere adi gilu ku.
32 Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
Maryamu tunna na ada kiti kanga na Yesu yissin ku a yeneghe, adio kutyen nbun me a woroghe, “Cikilari ndafo una yita kikane, na gwana ninghe wa ku ba.”
33 Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,
Na Yesu in yeneghe kuculu, a a Yahudawe na ida ligowe ninghe wang di kuculu, ata liduru nanya nruhu, ayi me fita kang;
34 though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.
a woro, “Ina nonkoghe nweri?” Iworoghe, “Cikilari da uda yene.”
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu gila.
36 "See how dear he held him," said the Jews.
A Yahudawa woro,”Yenen ngbardang nsuwe na adi Laazaru ku mun!”
37 But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?"
Among mine woro, “Na unit ulelere, ulenge na awa pun iyizi nnit ule na awa di udu ba, na ana wanti ulele ukule ba?”
38 Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.
Yesu nin lidurun nanya kibinayi me, do kiti kisekkee. Kisekke kutiyari, kutala wa yerdin nnuwe.
39 "Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
Yesu woro, “Kalan litale.” Marta, gwanan Laazaru unan kule, woro Yesu ku, “Nene aduru ayiri anas kidowe nmal di cizunu ubiju.”
40 "Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"
Yesu woroghe, “Na nbelinfi nenge, andi uyinna, uma yenu ngongong Kutelle ba?”
41 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.
Itunna ikala kutale. Yesu ghatina iyizi me kitene kani aworo, “Ucif ning, ndin zazunfi bara na udin lanzui.
42 I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me."
Meng yiru ko kuyeme kubi udin lanzui, bara kukirinanite na ikilini unnare nta nbelle nani, inan yinna fere na tui.”
43 After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
Kimal nbellu nani, ata ntet nin liwui kang, “Laazaru nuzu udas.”
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."
Unan kule nuzu udas, anin tecin abunu nin nacara nin nimon nkassu libi, umuro me wa tecin nin nimon nkassu libi. Yesu woro nani, “Buncughe isughe a nya.”
45 Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;
A Yahudawa gbaedang na iwa dak kitin Maryamu yene imong ilenge na Yesu nsu, i yinna ninghe;
46 though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.
among mine nya ido kiti na Farisawa idi bellin nani imon ile na Yesu nsu.
47 Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
Ugo na Priest nan na Yahudawa pitirino kudaru mine kiti kirum, iworo,”Inyaghari tiba ti? Unit ulele din su imon izikiki gbardang.
48 If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."
Asa tisughe aleo ubun nengene, vat ma yinnu ninghe, a Rumawa ma dak ida bollu kiti bite nin min bite.”
49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.
Vat nani, umong unit nanya mine lissa me Kefas, amere wadi ugo na Priest likus lole, woro nani, “Na iyiru ko imong ba.
50 You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."
Na idin yenju ucaun kitiu mine unit urum ku bara anit va, nnun woro anit vat nana.”
51 It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus was to die for the nation,
Awa bellin uleli ulire na un litime ba, bara awa di upriest udya likusse. Awa su annabci, Yesu maku bara anit;
52 and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.
na bara nmyen cas ba, Yesu nan pitiruno kiti kirum nono Kutelle alenge na ishogilin nkowe.
53 So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.
Ucizunu lilone, udu ubun, iwa kpiliza tibau nworu imolughe.
54 Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.
Na Yesu wa kuru a gala nanya na Yahudawa fang ba, awa nya a suna kikane ado nmon min nkan kagbiri idin yicu Ifiraimu nkon kusho. Kikanere awa so ku nan nono katwa me.
55 The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Upaska na Yahudawa wa dak susut, gbardang na mong ani wa nuzu nanya nmine udu Urshalima inan di wesse ati mine a upaska dutu.
56 They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
Iwa din pizurun Yesu ku, ilira nan nati mine nanya kutii nlira, “Iyaghari idin kpiluze? Na aba dak kitin ide ba?”
57 Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
Ugo na priest nan na Farisawa wani uduka andi umong yiru kikanga na Yesu duku, na abelin inan kifoghe
