John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Po umunu yumo elitawa lyamwene ve Lazaro akhale itamu. Akhakhomile kho Bethania, ikhejiji khya Mariamu na dada vamwene u Martha.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Akhale ve Mariamu yuywa akhabakha Untwa amafuta nukhufuta amalunde gamwene kho jwele ncha mwene yuywa ulokololwe va Lazaro akhale itamu.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
Po avadada ava vakhasukha endomi khya Yesu nokhochova, “Intwa, ulole ugane vakho itamu.”
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
U Yesu akhapolekha akhachova, “Uvutamu uvo sio wakhufya, ulwakhova, uwa voyane wa Nguluve uswambe va Nguluve agimive kho votamu.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
U Yesu akhanganile u Martha nu dada vamwene u Lazaro.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Avile apolikhe ukhata u Lazaro itamu, u Yesu akhatama isikhu ivele upwakhale.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
Popoele akhavavola avasyole vamwene, “Tuvokhe khovoyahudi khange.”
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Avasyole vakhambola, “Imanyesi, vangagele ukhututa na mawe, nuve vunogwa ukhukilivokha ukhya khange?”
9 Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
U Yesu akhanda, “Amasaa gapamusi galekumi na mbili? Umunu ungenda pamusi siwesya ukhyekovencha, ulukhuva ilola khulumuli lwa pamusi.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
Hata evo, angagende pakhelo, ikhyekovencha ulyakhova ulumuli lumoli igati mumwene.”
11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
U Yesu akhachova amambo aga, baada ya mambo aga, “Urafiki vato u Lazaro ugonelile, nilota khukhusisimula ukhuma mutulo.”
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Po avasyole vakhambola, “Intwa, inave agonelile, isisimokha.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Usekhe ugwa u Yesu alegonchova ikhabari ncha lofye wa Lazaro, avene vakhata inchova ikhabari ncha toro.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
U Yesu akhanchova pavovalafu, “U Lazaro afyile.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
Nekhowikhe numwe, sanekhalepo ukhu ilimpate ukhunyedekha. Tuvokhe khumwene.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
Po u Tomaso, uyakhelangiwo lipancha, akhavavola avasyole vamwene, “Nayofye tevukhe tukhafye popaninye nu Yesu.”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
U Yesu voinchile, akhavono u Lazaro tayari alendipomba isikhu inne.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
Yope e Bethania yakhale kalibu ne Yerusalemu uvutali ikilomita arobaini na tano ulu.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Avingi Avayahudi vakhincha khwa Martha nu Mariamu ukhuvasuvancha khya ajili ya lukololwe vavene.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
U Martha akhapolekha ukhuta u Yesu ikhwincha, akhaluta akhagane nave u Mariamu akhendelela ukhutama khukaya.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
U Martha akhambula u Yesu, “Intwa, ukhale uvinchage apa, ungancha vango sakha ifya.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
Ata leno, nelumanyile ukhuta lyolyoni eleyakheva vudova ukhuma khya Ngolove, wipata.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
U Yesu akhavola, unyanchavo isisimukha khange.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
U Martha akhambola, nelumanyile ukhutu isisimokha isikhu ya mwisyo.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
U Yesu akhambola, “Une nene wofufuo howomi; yuywa ikhonyedekha, atakama isisi mokha, ataleno itamaga;
yuywa ikhonyedekha une ifya. Ukholyamini ele?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
Akhavavola, “Sawa, Intwa mkhokhwedekho uveve veve Klisiti, Mwana va Ngolove, uyikhwincha nkelunga.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
Avile achovile ile, akhaluta khukhomwelanga udada vamwene u Mariamu khesili. Akhachova, “Umanyesi aleapa khokhwelanga.”
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
U Mariamu avile apolikhe eve, akhema khembe ve akhaluta kya Yesu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Nu Yesu akhava sijile tayali ikhejiji, akhavile bado khukhya vagine nu Martha.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
Avayahudi vakhale nu Mariamu munyumba navavo vakhalemo visovancha, vavile vikhombona ikhyinokha khembeve ikhoma khonji, vakhakonga; vavile vatile vilota khulipomba khyilela ukwa.
32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
Po u Mariamu, avile afikhe pala u Yesu akhambona, akhagwa pasi pamalonde gamwene nukhumbula, “Intwa, ukhale uvinchage apa, ulukololyango nda safyile.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
U Yesu avile ambwene ilela, nawayahudi avinchile papaninwe valen'kolela voni, akhalola munumbula nukhusikhitekha;
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
Akhanchova, “Mgoninche ndapi? vakhambola, Intwa, ancha olole.”
35 Jesus wept.
U Yesu akhalela.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
Po Avayahudi vakhanchova, “Mulole wagonile u Lazaro!”
37 Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
Avange vakhanchova, “Sio uyu, umunu uyabungwile amikho uyusilola, akhaiwesya ukhumbekha umunu uyu asite ukhufya?”
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Po u Yesu, woilela munumbula mumwene, akhaluta ndipomba, yekhale manga, iliwe livekhwiwe pakhyanya pamwene.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
U Yesu akhanchova, “Khencha eliwe.” U Martha, udada vamwene no Lazaro, yuywa afyile, akhambola u Yesu, “Intwa, khusekhe ugu, umbele gwiva govolile ulyakhova avile muvofye khosikhu inne.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
U Yesu ambola, “Sanekhavavole ukhuta, inave ukhunyedekha, wukhovovono uvovakhuwa Ngolove?”
41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
Po vakhakhencha eliwe. U Yesu akhinula amikho khokyanya nukhunchova, “Baba, nimwalencha ulyakhova vakhomulekhencha.
42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
Nelemanyile ukhuta vukhomolekhencha khela isekhe, ulyakhova ukusanyikho gwemile ukhunyedekha ukhuta veve usukhile.”
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Avile anchovile aga, akhalela esawoti embakha, “Lazaro, khuma khonji!”
44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
Uyafyile akhakhoma khonji ankongiwe amavokho na malunde, khumikho ankongiwe ekhefambala.” U Yesu akhanchova, “Ifungule alutage.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
Po Avayahudi avingi vavile vinchile khwa Mariamu nukhulola u Yesu ekhya vombile, vakhamwedekha;
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Avange lakhaluta khuva Mafarisayo khukhavavola amambo agavombile u Yesu.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Po avavakha va vatekheji na Vamafarisayo vakhakusanyekha popaninye ndi balasa nukhunchova, “Tuvomba ndakhihi? Umunu uyu ivomba amambo mingi.
48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Tungave tukhondekha mwene, voni vikhomwedekha; Avarumi vikhwincha vitola fyoni imali ncheto nekhelonga kheto.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
Ata evo, umunu yumu pavene, ve Kayafa, uyakhale intekheji imbukha umwakha ugwa, akhavavola, “Samkhemanyile khokhoni.
50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
Samusaga ukhuta yifaa kholyomwe ukhuta umunu yumo inogiwa ukhufya khujili ya vanu khulikho ukhufyu ekhelonga khyoni.”
51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Aga sakhanchove mwene, po umwene, ulwakhova akhale atekheji imbakha umwakha gola, akhalagwile ukhuta u Yesu ifya khokhelunga;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
Sio ekhelunga khine, ili u Yesu apate velevole ukhuvakusanya avana va Ngolove avagavanyikhe sekhemu eye neye.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Ukhuma esikhu eyo nukhyendelela vakhapanga enjela ya khubuda u Yesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
U Yesu sakhagende khange pavovalafu khuva yakhudi, akhakhega pala nokholota khohelunga jilani nolokove usekhemu yikhwelangiwa Efraimu. Apo akhatama na vasyole.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Ekhakho khya Vayahudi khekhale jilani avingi vakhatoga ukhuluta khu Yerusalemu khonji ya khelunga wosakhefikhe ekhaha ili vapate ukhwesukha vavo.
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
Valenkondonda u Yesu, nukhuchova khela muu vovemile pakhekalu, msaga khehi? Ukhuta sikhwicha khushelekhe?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
Usekhe ugwa avavakha va vatekheji na Vamafalisayo vavile, vakhominchi ululagero ukhuta ave yomo ikholuma u Yesu upwalepo, inogiwa ukhumya endomi ili vamwibate.
