John 11
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
Po umunu yumo elitawa lyamwene ve Lazaro akhale itamu. Akhakhomile kho Bethania, ikhejiji khya Mariamu na dada vamwene u 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 —
Akhale ve Mariamu yuywa akhabakha Untwa amafuta nukhufuta amalunde gamwene kho jwele ncha mwene yuywa ulokololwe va Lazaro akhale itamu.
3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
Po avadada ava vakhasukha endomi khya Yesu nokhochova, “Intwa, ulole ugane vakho itamu.”
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.'
U Yesu akhapolekha akhachova, “Uvutamu uvo sio wakhufya, ulwakhova, uwa voyane wa Nguluve uswambe va Nguluve agimive kho votamu.”
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
U Yesu akhanganile u Martha nu dada vamwene u Lazaro.
6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
Avile apolikhe ukhata u Lazaro itamu, u Yesu akhatama isikhu ivele upwakhale.
7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
Popoele akhavavola avasyole vamwene, “Tuvokhe khovoyahudi khange.”
8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
Avasyole vakhambola, “Imanyesi, vangagele ukhututa na mawe, nuve vunogwa ukhukilivokha ukhya khange?”
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;
U Yesu akhanda, “Amasaa gapamusi galekumi na mbili? Umunu ungenda pamusi siwesya ukhyekovencha, ulukhuva ilola khulumuli lwa pamusi.
10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
Hata evo, angagende pakhelo, ikhyekovencha ulyakhova ulumuli lumoli igati mumwene.”
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;'
U Yesu akhachova amambo aga, baada ya mambo aga, “Urafiki vato u Lazaro ugonelile, nilota khukhusisimula ukhuma mutulo.”
12 therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
Po avasyole vakhambola, “Intwa, inave agonelile, isisimokha.
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
Usekhe ugwa u Yesu alegonchova ikhabari ncha lofye wa Lazaro, avene vakhata inchova ikhabari ncha toro.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
U Yesu akhanchova pavovalafu, “U Lazaro afyile.
15 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe, ) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
Nekhowikhe numwe, sanekhalepo ukhu ilimpate ukhunyedekha. Tuvokhe khumwene.”
16 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'
Po u Tomaso, uyakhelangiwo lipancha, akhavavola avasyole vamwene, “Nayofye tevukhe tukhafye popaninye nu Yesu.”
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
U Yesu voinchile, akhavono u Lazaro tayari alendipomba isikhu inne.
18 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
Yope e Bethania yakhale kalibu ne Yerusalemu uvutali ikilomita arobaini na tano ulu.
19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
Avingi Avayahudi vakhincha khwa Martha nu Mariamu ukhuvasuvancha khya ajili ya lukololwe vavene.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
U Martha akhapolekha ukhuta u Yesu ikhwincha, akhaluta akhagane nave u Mariamu akhendelela ukhutama khukaya.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
U Martha akhambula u Yesu, “Intwa, ukhale uvinchage apa, ungancha vango sakha ifya.
22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
Ata leno, nelumanyile ukhuta lyolyoni eleyakheva vudova ukhuma khya Ngolove, wipata.”
23 Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
U Yesu akhavola, unyanchavo isisimukha khange.”
24 Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
U Martha akhambola, nelumanyile ukhutu isisimokha isikhu ya mwisyo.”
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;
U Yesu akhambola, “Une nene wofufuo howomi; yuywa ikhonyedekha, atakama isisi mokha, ataleno itamaga;
yuywa ikhonyedekha une ifya. Ukholyamini ele?” (aiōn g165)
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.'
Akhavavola, “Sawa, Intwa mkhokhwedekho uveve veve Klisiti, Mwana va Ngolove, uyikhwincha nkelunga.”
28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
Avile achovile ile, akhaluta khukhomwelanga udada vamwene u Mariamu khesili. Akhachova, “Umanyesi aleapa khokhwelanga.”
29 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
U Mariamu avile apolikhe eve, akhema khembe ve akhaluta kya Yesu.
30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
Nu Yesu akhava sijile tayali ikhejiji, akhavile bado khukhya vagine nu Martha.
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.'
Avayahudi vakhale nu Mariamu munyumba navavo vakhalemo visovancha, vavile vikhombona ikhyinokha khembeve ikhoma khonji, vakhakonga; vavile vatile vilota khulipomba khyilela ukwa.
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;'
Po u Mariamu, avile afikhe pala u Yesu akhambona, akhagwa pasi pamalonde gamwene nukhumbula, “Intwa, ukhale uvinchage apa, ulukololyango nda safyile.”
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,
U Yesu avile ambwene ilela, nawayahudi avinchile papaninwe valen'kolela voni, akhalola munumbula nukhusikhitekha;
34 'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
Akhanchova, “Mgoninche ndapi? vakhambola, Intwa, ancha olole.”
35 Jesus wept.
U Yesu akhalela.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
Po Avayahudi vakhanchova, “Mulole wagonile u Lazaro!”
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?'
Avange vakhanchova, “Sio uyu, umunu uyabungwile amikho uyusilola, akhaiwesya ukhumbekha umunu uyu asite ukhufya?”
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
Po u Yesu, woilela munumbula mumwene, akhaluta ndipomba, yekhale manga, iliwe livekhwiwe pakhyanya pamwene.
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;'
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 saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
U Yesu ambola, “Sanekhavavole ukhuta, inave ukhunyedekha, wukhovovono uvovakhuwa Ngolove?”
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;
Po vakhakhencha eliwe. U Yesu akhinula amikho khokyanya nukhunchova, “Baba, nimwalencha ulyakhova vakhomulekhencha.
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.'
Nelemanyile ukhuta vukhomolekhencha khela isekhe, ulyakhova ukusanyikho gwemile ukhunyedekha ukhuta veve usukhile.”
43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
Avile anchovile aga, akhalela esawoti embakha, “Lazaro, khuma khonji!”
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.'
Uyafyile akhakhoma khonji ankongiwe amavokho na malunde, khumikho ankongiwe ekhefambala.” U Yesu akhanchova, “Ifungule alutage.”
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
Po Avayahudi avingi vavile vinchile khwa Mariamu nukhulola u Yesu ekhya vombile, vakhamwedekha;
46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
Avange lakhaluta khuva Mafarisayo khukhavavola amambo agavombile u Yesu.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
Po avavakha va vatekheji na Vamafarisayo vakhakusanyekha popaninye ndi balasa nukhunchova, “Tuvomba ndakhihi? Umunu uyu ivomba amambo mingi.
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.'
Tungave tukhondekha mwene, voni vikhomwedekha; Avarumi vikhwincha vitola fyoni imali ncheto nekhelonga kheto.”
49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,
Ata evo, umunu yumu pavene, ve Kayafa, uyakhale intekheji imbukha umwakha ugwa, akhavavola, “Samkhemanyile khokhoni.
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
Samusaga ukhuta yifaa kholyomwe ukhuta umunu yumo inogiwa ukhufya khujili ya vanu khulikho ukhufyu ekhelonga khyoni.”
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,
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 also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
Sio ekhelunga khine, ili u Yesu apate velevole ukhuvakusanya avana va Ngolove avagavanyikhe sekhemu eye neye.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
Ukhuma esikhu eyo nukhyendelela vakhapanga enjela ya khubuda u Yesu.
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.
U Yesu sakhagende khange pavovalafu khuva yakhudi, akhakhega pala nokholota khohelunga jilani nolokove usekhemu yikhwelangiwa Efraimu. Apo akhatama na vasyole.
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;
Ekhakho khya Vayahudi khekhale jilani avingi vakhatoga ukhuluta khu Yerusalemu khonji ya khelunga wosakhefikhe ekhaha ili vapate ukhwesukha vavo.
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?'
Valenkondonda u Yesu, nukhuchova khela muu vovemile pakhekalu, msaga khehi? Ukhuta sikhwicha khushelekhe?”
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.
Usekhe ugwa avavakha va vatekheji na Vamafalisayo vavile, vakhominchi ululagero ukhuta ave yomo ikholuma u Yesu upwalepo, inogiwa ukhumya endomi ili vamwibate.
