John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Vaba mutu wumosi wuba mbevo, dizina diandi Lazale. Niandi wuba muisi Betani, buala buba mvuandanga Maliya ayi khombꞌandi Malata.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Maliya, niandi nketo wudukudila Pfumu Yesu malasi ma tsudi mu malu ayi wufiona mawu mu zitsuki ziandi. Lazale wuba kimbevo, wuba khomba yi bakala yi Maliya.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
Buna bakhomba bandi babaketo zituma mutu kuidi Yesu mu kunkamba: —Pfumu, tala mutu wowo weta zola wulembo bedi.
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.”
Vayi Yesu bu kawa bobo, wutuba: —Kimbevo kioki kilendi kumvonda ko, vayi kidi mu diambu di nkembo wu Nzambi muingi Muana Nzambi kakemboso mu kimbevo kioki.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Muaki Yesu wuzola buwombo Malata, khombꞌandi yi nketo ayi Lazale.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Vayi bu kawa ti Lazale wulembo bedi, wubuela vuanda bilumbu biodi va buangu kioki kaba.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
Bosi wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Tuvutukanu ku Yuda.
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Vayi minlonguki miandi minkamba: —A Labi, keti ndambu kuandi yi bilumbu biviokidi, Bayuda bazola kuzuba matadi vayi buabu tidi kuaku buela vutuka ku Yuda!
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.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Muisi ko kumi zithangu zizole mu muini e? Enati mutu dieti va muini kalendi bumina thutu ko bila wulembo moni kiezila ki nza.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
Vayi enati mutu wulembo diati va builu, buna maka bumina thutu, kiezila kisi ko mu niandi.
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.”
Bu kamanisa tuba mambu momo, buna wubuela diaka: —Nkundi eto lazale wulembo leki tulu vayi ndiedi mu kuenda nkotula.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Minlonguki mimvutudila: —Pfumu, enati lekidi tulu buna wela beluka.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Muaki Yesu wuyolukila lufua luandi vayi bawu babanzila ti Yesu wuyolukila tulu toto tunlekongo.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
Buna Yesu wuba sudikisa ti: —Lazale fuidi.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
Vayi khini ndimmona mu diambu dieno bu ndikambu ba vawu muingi luwilukila. Vayi tuendano buabu ku kadi.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
Tona mutu wowo baba ntedilanga Didime, wukamba bakhomba bandi minlonguki: —Tuendano kuna mu diambu beto mamveto tufua yandi va kimosi.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Yesu bu katula, wuyenda bata buna Lazale weka bilumbu biya ku tsi ntoto.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
Betani diba divula difikama ayi Yelusalemi, nduka-nduka bikilometele bitatu,
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
ayi Bayuda bawombo bayiza kuidi Malata ayi Maliya mu kuba bomba mu diambu di khombꞌawu wu bakala.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Malata bu kawa ti Yesu lembu yizi, wuyenda kundengana vayi Maiya wuba wuvuanda ku nzo.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
Malata wukamba Yesu: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
Vayi buabu nzebi kuama ti dioso kuandi diambu di wela lomba kuidi Nzambi, Nzambi wela kuvana diawu.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Yesu wunkamba: —Khombꞌaku wela fuluka.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Malata wumvutudila: —Nzebi ti wela fuluka mu lumbu kitsuka, batu bu bela fuluka.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Vayi yesu wunkamba: —Minu ndidi mfulukulu ayi luzingu. Woso wukunguilukila, ka diambu ko wufua, wela zinga.
Woso wunzinga ayi wukunguilukila kalendi fua nkutu ko. Wilukidi mawu e? (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.”
Malata wumvutudila: —Nyinga Pfumu, minu nguilukidi ti ngeyo Klisto, Muana Nzambi, wunkuiza va nza.
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Malata wuyenda tela mu kinsueki Maliya, khombꞌandi yinketo, mu kunkamba: —Maliya, Nlongi wizidingi, ngeyo kantela!
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
Maliya bu katumbu wa Malata; wutelama mu nsualu ayi wuyenda kuidi Yesu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Muaki buna Yesu kakikotidi ko mu buala, wuba kaka va buangu kioki Malata kayiza kundenginina.
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.”
Bayuda bobo baba ayi Maliya mu nzo ayi bobo baba kumbomba, bu bamona ti Maliya wutumbu telama mu nsualu ayi wutotuka, buna banlandakana bila babanizla ti wedi ku biziami ku dila.
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.”
Vayi Maliya wutula vaba Yesu, bu kammona buna wubua va malu mandi ayi wunkamba: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko!
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
Yesu bu kamona ti Maliya wulembo didi va kimosi ayi bayuda bobo babayandi, buna kiadi kingolo kimbuila mu ntima.
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
Buna wuyuvula: —Kuevi luntudidi e? Bamvutudila: —Pfumu Yiza tadi.
35 Jesus wept.
Yesu wudila.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
Bayuda batuba: —A beno…, Tala phila yikanzodila!
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?”
Vayi bankaka mu bawu batuba: —Mutu wawu niandi wuzibula meso ma phofo, nganu kasi vanga ko diambumuingi mutu wawu kabika fua e?
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Yesu wuluta buela mona kiadi kiwombo mu ntima. Wuyenda ku biziami. Ziami beni kiba kisokolo mu ditadi. Va muelo vawu batula ditadi dinneni.
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.”
Yesu wuba kamba: —Botulanu ditadi diodi. Malata, khomba yi mutu wufua, wunkamba: —Pfumu, weka kuiza tsudi bila kiaki kieka lumbu kinya tona kazikulu.
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
Yesu wunkamba: —Ndisi kukambanga ko ti mawumona nkembo wu Nzambi enati wilukidi e?
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.
Babotula ditadi. Yesu wuvumbula meso mandi ku diyilu, wutuba: —Tata, ndivutudidi matondo bila wukunguilanga.
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.”
Nzebi ti weta kunguila mu zithangu zioso, vayi enati ndintubila bobo mu diambu di nkangu wawu wunzungididi muingi bakikinina ti ngeyo wuthuma.
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuyamikina mau mbembo yingolo: —Lazale, totuka!
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.”
Mutu wufua wutotuka, wuzingu bitendi-bitendi bi minledi mu mioko ayimu malu; zizi kiandi kifuku ku tsi nledi. Yesu wuba kamba: —Lunnianguna, lumbika kenda kuandi.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
Bawombo mu Bayuda bobo bayiza kuidi Maliya, bu bamona mambu momo mavanga Yesu, banwilukila.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Vayi bankaka mu bawu bayenda bata Bafalisi ayi baba kamba mamo mavanga Yesu.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bakutakana mu lukutukunu lunneni ayi bakamba: —Mbi tufueti vanga e? Bila mutu wawu wulembo vangi bikumu biwombo.
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.”
Beto kumbika ti kalembo kavanganga bobo, buna batu babo mabanwilukila. Buna basi Loma bela kuiza, bela tulula nzuꞌeto Nzambi ayi tsi eto.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
Vayi wumosi mu bawu, dizina diandi Kayife, niandi wuba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, wuba kamba: —A buna lusi zaba kadi kiasa ko e?
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.”
Luisi zaba ko ti bulutidi mboti mutu wumosi kafua mu diambu di batu boso ayi tsi yoso yibika bungu!
51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Kasia tuba mambu momo mu luzolo luandi veka ko. Vayi bu kaba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, buna wubikula ti Yesu kafueti fua mu diambu di tsi andi.
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
Bika sia ti mu diambu di tsi kaka, vayi mu diambu di kutikisabana babo ba Nzambi bamana sasakana muingi bakituka mutu wumosi.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Tona lumbu kina, bawizana va kimosi mu diambu bamvondisa.
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.
Diawu, Yesu kasi buela kukimonikisa ko va meso ma bayuda. Wubotuka kuna, wuyenda ku zunga kifikimini ayi dikanga, ku divuladibeti tedilanga Efalayimi. Wuvuanda kuna ayi minlonguki miandi.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Pasika yi Bayuda yifikama batu bawombo baba mu mala bayenda ku Yeluzalemi tuamina Pasika yiba mu diambu di bakivedisa.
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?”
Batomba Yesu. Ayi bu baba mu Nzo Nzambi bayuvasana bawu na bawu: —Buevi lumbanza e? Lummuena ti kalendi kuiza ko ku nyengo e?
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.
Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bavana lutumunu muidi batu ti woso kuandi wunzaba kuidi Yesu, buna kafueti samuna muingi bankanga.
