John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Kwaiva neumwe wairwara, wainzi Razaro weBhetaniya, mumusha waMaria nemukoma wake Marita.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Waiva iye Maria wakazodza Ishe nemafuta, akapusika tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake, hanzvadzi yake Razaro wakange achirwara.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
Naizvozvo hanzvadzi dzakatumira kwaari dzichiti: Ishe, tarirai uyo wamunoda anorwara.
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.”
Jesu wakati anzwa akati: Ukosha uhu hahusviki murufu, asi ndehwembiri yaMwari, kuti Mwanakomana waMwari arumbidzwe nahwo.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Zvino Jesu wakange achida Marita nemunin'ina wake naRazaro.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Naizvozvo wakati anzwa kuti anorwara, ipapo akagara mazuva maviri panzvimbo paakange ari.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
Shure kweizvozvo wakati kuvadzidzi: Hendeizve kuJudhiya.
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Vadzidzi vakati kwaari: Rabhi, VaJudha vachangobva kutsvaka kukutakai nemabwe; zvino moendazve ikoko here?
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.
Jesu akapindura akati: Hapana maawa gumi nemaviri masikati here? Kana munhu achifamba masikati, haagumburwi, nokuti anoona chiedza chenyika ino.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
Asi kana munhu achifamba usiku, anogumburwa, nokuti hamuna chiedza maari.
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.”
Wakataura zvinhu izvi, shure kweizvozvo ndokuti kwavari: Shamwari yedu Razaro yarara; asi ndinoenda kuti ndimumutse.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Naizvozvo vadzidzi vake vakati: Ishe, kana arere, achanaya.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Asi Jesu wakareva zverufu rwake; asi ivo vakafunga kuti anoreva kuzorora kwehope.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
Naizvozvo ipapo Jesu akavaudza pachena: Razaro wafa.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
Zvino ndinofara nekuda kwenyu kuti ndakange ndisipo, kuti mugotenda; asi hendei kwaari.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
Naizvozvo Tomasi, wainzi Dhidhimo, wakati kuvadzidzi pamwe naye: Hendei isuwo kuti tinofa naye.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika, akawana atova muguva mazuva mana.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
Zvino Bhetaniya rakange riri pedo neJerusarema, masitadhiya anenge gumi nemashanu kubva ipapo;
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
nevazhinji veVaJudha vakange vauya kuna Marita naMaria, kuti vavanyaradze pamusoro pehanzvadzi yavo.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Zvino Marita wakati anzwa kuti Jesu wouya, akaenda kunomuchingamidza; asi Maria wakagara mumba.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
Marita ndokuti kuna Jesu: Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
Asi naikozvino ndinoziva kuti zvipi zvazvo zvamunokumbira kuna Mwari, Mwari achakupai.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesu akati kwaari: Hanzvadzi yako ichamukazve.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Marita akati kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka nezuva rekupedzisira.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Jesu akati kwaari: Ndini kumuka neupenyu; anotenda kwandiri, kunyange akafa, achararama;
uye umwe neumwe anorarama uye anotenda kwandiri, haangatongofi nekusingaperi. Unotenda izvi here? (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.”
Akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe; ini ndinotenda kuti ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, waizouya panyika.
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
Zvino wakati areva izvi akaenda, akanodana Maria munin'ina wake pachivande, akati: Mudzidzisi wasvika, anokudana.
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
Iye wakati achingozvinzwa, akakurumidza kusimuka akaenda kwaari.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Zvino Jesu wakange asati asvika pamusha, asi wakange achiri panzvimbo Marita paakamuchingamidza.
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.”
Naizvozvo VaJudha vakange vanaye mumba vachimunyaradza, vakati vachiona Maria kuti wakasimuka nekukurumidza achibuda, vakamutevera vachiti: Anoenda kuguva kuti acheme ikoko.
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.”
Zvino Maria, wakati achisvika pakange pana Jesu, achimuona, akawira patsoka dzake, achiti kwaari: Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati achimuona achichema, VaJudhawo vachichema vakange vauya naye, akagomera mumweya, akazvitambudza,
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
akati: Mamuradzikepi? Vakati kwaari: Ishe, uyai muone.
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu akachema misodzi.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
Zvino VaJudha vakati: Tarirai kuti waimuda sei.
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?”
Asi vamwe vavo vakati: Uyu wakasvinudza meso ebofu, haagoni kuita here kuti uyuwo asafa?
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakagomerazve mukati make asvika paguva. Zvino raiva bako, nebwe rakange rakaradzikwa pamusoro paro.
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.”
Jesu akati: Bvisai ibwe. Marita hanzvadzi yewakafa akati kwaari: Ishe, wotonhuhwa; nokuti ane mazuva mana.
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
Jesu akati kwaari: Handina kutaura here kwauri, kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?
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.
Naizvozvo vakabvisa ibwe, pakange paradzikwa wakafa. Jesu ndokusimudzira meso kumusoro, ndokuti: Baba, ndinokuvongai nokuti mandinzwa.
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.”
Asi ini ndanga ndichiziva kuti munondinzwa nguva dzese; asi nekuda kwechaunga chakakomberedza ndareva, kuti vatende kuti imwi makandituma.
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Zvino wakati areva izvozvi, akadanidzira nenzwi guru, akati: Razaro, buda!
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.”
Uyo wakange afa ndokubuda, akasungwa makumbo nemaoko nemicheka yeguva, nechiso chake chakapombwa nemucheka wekumeso. Jesu akati kwavari: Musunungurei, mumurege aende.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
Naizvozvo vazhinji veVaJudha, vakange vauya kuna Maria vakati vaona Jesu zvaakaita, vakatenda kwaari.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Asi vamwe vavo vakaenda kuVaFarisi, ndokuvaudza zvinhu Jesu zvaakange aita.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Naizvozvo vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakaunganidza dare remakurukota, vakati: Todini? Nokuti uyu munhu anoita zviratidzo zvizhinji.
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.”
Kana tikamurega akadaro, vese vachatenda kwaari; neVaRoma vachauya vakatora zviri zviviri nzvimbo nerudzi rwedu.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
Asi umwe wavo, Kayafasi, wakange ari mupristi mukuru gore iroro, akati kwavari: Hamuzivi chinhu imwi,
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.”
uye hamurangariri kuti zvakatinakira kuti munhu umwe afire vanhu, uye rudzi rwese rurege kuparara.
51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Asi haana kureva izvi pachake, asi zvaakange ari mupristi mukuru gore iro, wakaporofita kuti Jesu waizofira rudzi urwo,
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
uye kwete rudzi urwo rwega, asi kutiwo aunganidze vana vaMwari vakapararira vave umwe.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Zvino kubva pazuva iro vakarangana kuti vamuuraye.
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.
Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzombofamba pachena pakati peVaJudha, asi wakabvapo akaenda kunyika iri pedo nerenje, kuguta rainzi Efuremu, ndokugarako nevadzidzi vake.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Zvino pasika yeVaJudha yakange yaswedera; vazhinji ndokubuda mumaruwa vakakwira kuJerusarema pasika isati yasvika, kuti vazvichenure.
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?”
Naizvozvo vakatsvaka Jesu, vakataurirana vamire mutembere, vachiti: Munofungei? Kuti haangatongouyi kumutambo here?
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.
Zvino vese vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakange vapa murairo kuti kana kune anoziva kwaari, azivise, kuti vamubate.
