< John 12 >
1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
Therfor Jhesus bifor sixe daies of pask cam to Bethanye, where Lazarus hadde be deed, whom Jhesus reiside.
2 they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;
And thei maden to hym a soopere there, and Martha mynystride to hym; and Lazarus was oon of men that saten at the mete with hym.
3 Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
Therfor Marie took a pound of oynement of trewe narde precious, and anoyntide the feet of Jhesu, and wipte hise feet with hir heeris; and the hous was fulfillid of the sauour of the oynement.
4 Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
Therfor Judas Scarioth, oon of hise disciplis, that was to bitraye hym,
5 'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'
seide, Whi is not this oynement seeld for thre hundrid pens, and is youun to nedi men?
6 and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
But he seide this thing, not for it perteynede to hym of nedi men, but for he was a theef, and he hadde the pursis, and bar tho thingis that weren sent.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
Therfor Jhesus seide, Suffre ye hir, that in to the day of my biriyng sche kepe that;
8 for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
for ye schulen euermore haue pore men with you, but ye schulen not euermore haue me.
9 A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
Therfore myche puple of Jewis knew, that Jhesus was there; and thei camen, not oonli for Jhesu, but to se Lazarus, whom he hadde reisid fro deth.
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
But the princis of prestis thouyten to sle Lazarus,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
for manye of the Jewis wenten awei for him, and bileueden in Jhesu.
12 On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,
But on the morew a myche puple, that cam togidere to the feeste dai, whanne thei hadden herd, that Jhesus cam to Jerusalem,
13 took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;'
token braunchis of palmes, and camen forth ayens hym, and crieden, Osanna, blessid is the kyng of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
And Jhesus foond a yonge asse, and sat on hym,
15 'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
as it is writun, The douytir of Syon, nyle thou drede; lo! thi kyng cometh, sittynge on `an asse fole.
16 And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.
Hise disciplis knewen not first these thingis, but whanne Jhesus was glorified, thanne thei hadden mynde, for these thingis weren writun of hym, and these thingis thei diden to hym.
17 The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
Therfor the puple bar witnessyng, that was with hym, whanne he clepide Lazarus fro the graue, and reiside hym fro deth.
18 because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
And therfor the puple cam, and mette with hym, for thei herden that he hadde don this signe.
19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
Therfor the Farisees seiden to hem silf, Ye seen, that we profiten no thing; lo! al the world wente aftir hym.
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
And there weren summe hethene men, of hem that hadden come vp to worschipe in the feeste dai.
21 these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
And these camen to Filip, that was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and preieden hym, and seiden, Sire, we wolen se Jhesu.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Filip cometh, and seith to Andrew; eft Andrew and Filip seiden to Jhesu.
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
And Jhesus answerde `to hem, and seide, The our cometh, that mannus sone be clarified.
24 verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, but a corn of whete falle in to the erthe, and be deed, it dwellith aloone; but if it be deed, it bryngith myche fruyt.
25 he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (aiōnios )
He that loueth his lijf, schal leese it; and he that hatith his lijf in this world, kepith it in to euerlastynge lijf. (aiōnios )
26 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
If ony man serue me, sue he me; and where Y am, there my mynystre schal be. If ony man serue me, my fadir schal worschipe hym.
27 'Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;
Now my soule is troublid, and what schal Y seie? Fadir, saue me fro this our; but therfor Y cam in to this our;
28 Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
fadir, clarifie thi name. And a vois cam fro heuene, and seide, And Y haue clarified, and eft Y schal clarifie.
29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
Therfor the puple that stood, and herde, seide, that `thundur was maad; othere men seide, an aungel spak to hym.
30 Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
Jhesus answerde, and seide, This vois cam not for me, but for you.
31 now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world schal be cast out.
32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
And if Y schal be enhaunsid fro the erthe, Y schal drawe alle thingis to my silf.
33 And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;
And he seide this thing, signifiynge bi what deth he `was to die.
34 the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?' (aiōn )
And the puple answeride to hym, We han herd of the lawe, that Crist dwellith with outen ende; and hou seist thou, It bihoueth mannys sone to be arerid? Who is this mannus sone? (aiōn )
35 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;
And thanne Jhesus seith to hem, Yit a litil liyt is in you; walke ye, the while ye han liyt, that derknessis catche you not; he that wandrith in derknessis, woot nere whidur he goith.
36 while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
While ye han liyt, bileue ye in liyt, that ye be the children of liyt. Jhesus spak these thingis, and wente, and hidde hym fro hem.
37 yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,
And whanne he hadde don so many myraclis bifor hem, thei bileueden not `in to hym;
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
that the word of Ysaie, the prophete, schulde be fulfillid, which he seide, Lord, who bileuede to oure heryng, and to whom is the arm of the Lord schewid?
39 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
Therfor thei myyten not bileue, for eft Ysaye seide,
40 'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
He hath blyndid her iyen, and he hath maad hard the herte of hem, that thei se not with iyen, and vndurstonde with herte; and that thei be conuertid, and Y heele hem.
41 these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Ysaye seide these thingis, whanne he say the glorie of hym, and spak of hym.
42 Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
Netheles `of the pryncis manye bileueden in hym, but for the Farisees thei knowlechiden not, that thei schulden not be put out of the synagoge;
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
for thei loueden the glorie of men, more than the glorie of God.
44 And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
And Jhesus criede, and seide, He that bileueth in me, bileueth not in me, but in hym that sente me.
45 and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
He that seeth me, seeth hym that sente me.
46 I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
Y liyt cam in to the world, that ech that bileueth in me, dwelle not in derknessis.
47 and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
And if ony man herith my words, and kepith hem, Y deme hym not; for Y cam not, that Y deme the world, but that Y make the world saaf.
48 'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,
He that dispisith me, and takith not my wordis, hath hym that schal iuge hym; thilke word that Y haue spokun, schal deme hym in the last dai.
49 because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
For Y haue not spokun of my silf, but thilke fadir that sente me, yaf to me a maundement, what Y schal seie, and what Y schal speke.
50 and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' (aiōnios )
And Y woot, that his maundement is euerlastynge lijf; therfor tho thingis that Y speke, as the fadir seide to me, so Y speke. (aiōnios )
