< John 12 >

1 Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
Kane pod odongʼ ndalo auchiel mondo Pasaka ochopi, Yesu notundo Bethania, kama Lazaro nodakie, mane en ngʼat mane Yesu ochiero oa kuom joma otho.
2 So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.
Negiloso nyasi maduongʼ Bethania ne Yesu. Maritha ne miyo welo chiemo, to Lazaro to nobet kachiemo kaachiel gi joma nobet kolworo mesa.
3 Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Eka Maria nokawo mo mangʼwe ngʼar kendo ma nengone tek, manyalo romo nus lita, mowirogo tiende Yesu, bangʼe oyweyo tiendene gi yie wiye. Mi ot nopongʼ gi tik mangʼwe ngʼar mar mono.
4 Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),
Judas Iskariot, ma en achiel kuom jopuonjre Yesu kendo mane biro ndhoge bangʼe, nokwero tim mane dhakono otimo, kowacho niya,
5 "Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"
“Angʼo ma nomone hono mo mangʼwe ngʼarno mondo pesa moyudi omi joma odhier? Onge tiende ketho mo ma nengone tek kama, moromo chulo misach ngʼat achiel kuom higa ngima.”
6 The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.
Ne ok owacho kamano nikech nohero jodhier, to nikech ne en jakuo. Kaka jakeno mar pesa, nothoro konyore gi pesa ma nokanogo.
7 But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.
Yesu nodwoko niya, “Weyeuru mos. Ne ochan chon ni owinjore okan mo mangʼwe ngʼarno nyaka chiengʼ yikna.
8 For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."
Joma odhier ubiro bedogo e dieru kinde duto, to an ok ubi siko koda ndalo duto.”
9 Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.
E kindeno, jo-Yahudi mangʼeny nofwenyo ni Yesu ne nitie kanyo mi negibiro, ok nikech en, to nikech negidwaro neno Lazaro, manoyudo osechiero oa kuom joma otho.
10 The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,
Omiyo jodolo madongo noloso chenro kaka digineg Lazaro kaachiel kode,
11 for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.
nimar wachne nomiyo jo-Yahudi mangʼeny koro ne weyogi dhi ir Yesu kendo giyie kuome.
12 The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Kinyne, oganda maduongʼ mane oyudo obiro e Sawo nowinjo ni Yesu ni e yo biro Jerusalem.
13 took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!"
Negikawo bede othidhe mi giwuok oko mondo giromne, ka gikok niya, “Hosana!” “Ogwedh ngʼat mabiro e nying Jehova Nyasaye!” “Ogwedh Ruodh Israel!”
14 And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, just as the Scripture says,
Yesu noyudo nyathi kanyna moro moidho obetie, mana kaka Ndiko wacho niya,
15 "Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."
“Kik ibed maluor, yaye Nyar Sayun; nee, ruodhi eri biro, koidho nyathi kanyna.”
16 The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.
Mokwongo jopuonjrene ne ok owinjo tiend gigi duto, to achien, bangʼ ka Yesu nosemi duongʼ eka negifwenyo ni wechegi nosendiki kuome chon, kendo ni gigo notimore nikech en.
17 The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.
Oganda mane ni kode chiengʼ mane oluongo Lazaro oa e liel, ka nochiere oa kuom joma otho, nomedo lando wachno.
18 This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
Omiyo ji mangʼeny nowuok mondo giromne, nikech negisewinjo ni en ema yande otimo honono.
19 The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
Kuom mano, jo-Farisai nowacho e kindgi ngʼato gi ngʼato niya, “Uneno ka wachni e muomowa. Neyeuru kaka piny duto osewuok luwo bangʼe!”
20 Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.
Koro ne nitie jo-Yunani moko kuom joma ne biro lemo e Sawono.
21 They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
Negibiro ir Filipo, mane aa Bethsaida, e piny Galili, mi gikwaye niya, “Jaduongʼ, wadwaro neno Yesu.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Filipo nodhi monyiso Andrea wachno; eka Andrea kod Filipo nodhi ir Yesu ma ginyise wachno.
23 His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Sa osechopo mondo Wuod Dhano omi duongʼ.
24 In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.
Awachonu adier ni ka koth cham ok oiki e lowo motho, to osiko mana kodhi achiel kende. To ka otho, to onywolo kothe mangʼeny.
25 He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Ngʼama ohero ngimane, ngimane biro lalne, to ngʼama ochayo ngimane e pinyni biro rite nyaka chop oyud ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
26 If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.
Ngʼato angʼata matiyona nyaka luwa, kendo kama antie ema jatichna bende nobedie. Ngʼat matiyona Wuora biro miyo duongʼ.
27 Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
“Koro chunya chandore, to en angʼo ma dawachi? Dawach ni, ‘Wuora, resa e sa machalo kama?’ Ooyo, ok onyal timo kamano nikech ma e gima omiyo ne abiro e kindeni.
28 Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."
Wuora, mi nyingi duongʼ!” Eka dwol moro noa e polo, kawacho niya, “Asemiye duongʼ kendo abiro chako amiye duongʼ.”
29 The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
Oganda mane ni kanyo manowinjo dwolno nowacho ni polo ema nomor, to ji mamoko to nowacho ni malaika ema nowuoyo kode.
30 "It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.
Yesu nokonegi niya, “Dwolno ne ok obiro mondo okonya, to nobiro mondo okonyu.
31 Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.
Koro sa osechopo ma ingʼadone piny bura, kendo sani ema ruodh pinyni noriemb oko.
32 And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."
To an, bangʼ kosetingʼa malo mogola e pinyni, to anaywa ji duto ira.”
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
Nowacho mano mondo onyisgo kit tho ma nobiro thogo.
34 The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
Ogandano nodwoke niya, “Wasewinjo e chik ni Kristo biro siko nyaka chiengʼ, ka en kamano, to ikelo wacho nade ni, ‘Wuod Dhano nyaka bi tingʼ malo’? ‘Wuod Dhano’ miwuoyo kuomeno to en ngʼa?” (aiōn g165)
35 "Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
Eka Yesu nodwokogi niya, “Pod ubiro bedo gi ler kuom ndalo manok. Wuothuru kapod un gi ler; ka mudho pok ojukou. Ngʼama wuotho e mudho okia kuma odhiye.
36 In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.
Keturu genou kuom ler kapod un kode, mondo mi ubed nyithind ler.” Kane Yesu osetieko wuoyo kodgi, to nowuok owegi kendo nopondonigi.
37 But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
To kata obedo ni Yesu nosetimo honnigo duto ka gineno gi wengegi, to pod ne gidagi mana yie kuome.
38 in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
Mano notimore mondo ochop wach mane Isaya janabi osewacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, en ngʼa moseyie wach mwalando, koso en ngʼa ma Jehova Nyasaye osenyiso tekone?”
39 For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
Kuom mano, ne ok ginyal yie, mana kaka Isaya nowacho bende komachielo niya,
40 "He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."
“Osedino wengegi kendo osemiyo chunygi odoko matek, mondo kik gine gimoro gi wengegi, kendo kik giwinj tiend weche gi chunygi, mi gilokre gidwog ira mi achang-gi.”
41 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
Isaya nowacho kamano nikech noneno duongʼ maler mar Yesu kendo nowuoyo kuome.
42 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
Kata kamano, e kindeno, ji mangʼeny kuom jotelo bende noyie kuome. To nikech negiluoro jo-Farisai, ne ok ginyal hulo yie margi e lela nimar negiluor ni dipo ka oriembgi e sinagogi.
43 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
Nimar ne gihero pak moa kuom dhano moloyo pak moa kuom Nyasaye.
44 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
Eka Yesu nokok matek kawacho niya, “Ka ngʼato oyie kuoma, to an ok ema oyie kuoma kenda, to oyie kuom Jal mane oora bende.
45 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
Ngʼama nena, neno Jal mane oora.
46 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
Asebiro e piny kaka ler, mondo ngʼato angʼata moyie kuoma kik sik e mudho.
47 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
“To ngʼat mawinjo wechena to ok riti, to an ok angʼadne bura, nikech ne ok abiro mondo angʼadne piny bura, to nabiro mondo ares piny.
48 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
Nitie Ngʼat mangʼado bura ne ngʼama odaga kendo ma ok oyie wechena. Ngʼama kamano wachna mane awacho ema biro ngʼadone bura marach chiengʼ giko piny.
49 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in what words to speak.
Nimar ne ok awuoyo gi dwacha awuon, to Wuoro ma noora ema nochika mondo awachi gik ma asebedo ka awacho kendo kaka onego awachgi.
50 And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me." (aiōnios g166)
Angʼeyo ni chikne ema kelo ngima mochwere. Kuom mano, gimoro amora ma awacho en mana gima Wuora onyisa mondo awachi.” (aiōnios g166)
