< John 11 >
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
BUT a certain man was sick, Loozar, of the village Bethania: (he was) the brother of Mariam and of Martha.
2 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —
It was that Mariam who anointed with balsam the feet of Jeshu, and wiped (them) with her hair, whose brother this Loozar was who was sick.
3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
And his two sisters sent unto Jeshu, saying, Our Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
But Jeshu said, This sickness is not of death, but for the glory of Aloha, that the Son of Aloha may be glorified on account of it.
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
But Jeshu loved Martha and Mariam and Loozar.
6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
And when he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days.
7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
And afterwards he saith to his disciples, Come, we will go again into Jihud.
8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
His disciples say to him, Raban, now have the Jihudoyee sought to stone thee; and again goest thou thither?
9 Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
Jeshu saith to them, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world;
10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because no light is in him.
11 These things he said, and after this he saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
These spake Jeshu; and afterwards he said to them, Loozar our friend reposeth; but I go to awake him.
12 therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
His disciples say to him, Our Lord, if he sleep he is healed.
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
But Jeshu spake concerning his death; and they thought that concerning the repose of sleep he spake.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
Then said Jeshu to them explicatively, Loozar is dead.
15 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe, ) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
And I am glad I was not there for your sakes, that you may believe. But let us walk thither.
16 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'
Thoma, who is called the Twin, saith to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
And Jeshu came to Bethania, and found that he had been four days in the house of burial.
18 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
Now Bethania was nigh to Urishlem, being a distance from it of about fifteen stadia.
19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
And many of the Jihudoyee had come to Martha and Mariam, that they might speak to their hearts concerning their brother.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jeshu had come, went forth to meet him; but Mariam sat in the house.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
And Martha said to Jeshu, My Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
But even now know I that whatsoever thou wilt ask of Aloha, he giveth to thee.
23 Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
Jeshu saith to her, Thy brother ariseth.
24 Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
Martha saith to him, I know that he ariseth in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
Jeshu saith to her, I am the Resurrection and the Life; and (he) who believeth in me, although he will die, shall live.
26 and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age; (aiōn )
And every one who liveth and believeth in me, for ever shall not die. Believest thou this? (aiōn )
27 believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
She saith to him, Yes, my Lord; I believe that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, who cometh into the world.
28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
And when she had said these, she went, called Mariam her sister in secret, and said to her, Our Master hath come, and calleth for thee.
29 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
When Mariam heard, she arose quickly, and came to him.
30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
But Jeshu himself had not yet come into the village, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'
But those Jihudoyee who were also with her in the house to console her, when they saw that Mariam rose up hastily to go forth, went themselves after her; for they thought that to the sepulchre she went to weep.
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
But she, Mariam, when she was come where Jeshu was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying, If thou hadst been here, my Lord, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
But Jeshu, when he saw her weeping, and those Jihudoyee who came with her weeping, he was moved in his spirit, and was troubled,
34 'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
and said, Where have you laid him? And they said to him, Our Lord, come and see.
And the tears of Jeshu came.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
And the Jihudoyee said, See how he loved him!
37 and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'
But some of them said, Could not this who opened the eyes of that blind have caused also that this should not have died?
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
Jeshu, groaning within himself, came to the house of burial; and that house of burial was a cave, and a stone was laid at the gate of it.
39 Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
And Jeshu said, Take up this stone. Martha, the sister of him (who was) dead, saith to him, My Lord, he now stinketh; for four days are to him.
40 Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
Jeshu said to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wilt believe, thou shalt see the glory of Aloha?
41 They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;
And they took up the stone. And Jeshu lifted his eye upward, and said, Father, I give thanks to thee that thou hast heard me;
42 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'
and I know that at all times thou hearest me: yet, because of this assembly which standeth, I say these (words), that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
And when he had said these (words), he cried with a high voice, Loozar, come without!
44 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'
And he, the dead, came forth, his hands and his feet being bound with bandages, and his face in a linen cloth. Jeshu saith to them, Release him, and let (him) go.
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
And many of the Jihudoyee who came with Mariam, when they saw the thing which Jeshu did, believed on him.
46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
And some of them went to the Pharishee, and told them every thing that Jeshu had done.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
AND the chief priests and Pharishee assembled, and said, What shall we do? because this man doeth many signs;
48 if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'
and if we leave him thus, all men will believe on him, and the Rumoyee, coming, take away our country and our people.
49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,
But one of them, whose name was Kaiapha, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them, You know not any thing,
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
nor reason that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not all the people perish.
51 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
But this from himself he spake not, but because he was high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jeshu should die for the people,
52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
and not only for (that) people, but also that the children of Aloha who are dispersed he should gather into one.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
And from that day they determined to kill him.
54 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
But Jeshu himself walked not openly among the Jihudoyee, but went from thence to the region near the wilderness, to a region which was called Ephrem, and there conversed with his disciples.
55 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
NOW the petscha of the Jihudoyee drew nigh; and many went up from the country places to Urishlem before the festival, to purify themselves.
56 they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?'
And they sought for Jeshu, and said one to another in the temple, What think you, that he cometh to the feast?
57 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.
But the chief priests and Pharishee had commanded that if any man knew where (he was), he should declare it to them, as that they might apprehend him.
