Yohanes 11
1 Azɔ eva eme be ŋutsu aɖe si woyɔna be Lazaro la dze dɔ. Etso Betania, Maria kple nɔvia Marta ƒe du me.
Kwakukhona-ke othile owayegula othiwa nguLazaro weBethani, emzaneni kaMariya loMarta udadewabo.
2 (Maria si kɔ amiʋeʋĩ ɖe Aƒetɔ ƒe afɔwo ta, eye wòtutui kple eƒe taɖa la nɔvie nye Lazaro si le dɔ lém la.)
Kwakunguye uMariya owagcoba iNkosi ngamagcobo, wesula inyawo zayo ngenwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaro wayegula.
3 Eya ta nɔvinyɔnu siawo dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Yesu gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ame si nèlɔ̃ vevie la le dɔ lém.”
Ngakho odadewabo bathumela kuye besithi: Nkosi, khangela lowo omthandayo uyagula.
4 Esi Yesu se nya sia la, egblɔ be, “Dɔléle sia menye kudɔe o, ke boŋ to eme la, woakafu Mawu, eye woakɔ Mawu ƒe Vi la ŋuti.”
UJesu esezwile wathi: Lokhu ukugula kakusikho okokufa, kodwa kungokodumo lukaNkulunkulu ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu idunyiswe ngakho.
5 Yesu lɔ̃ Marta kple nɔvia nyɔnu Maria kpakple Lazaro,
UJesu wayebathanda-ke oMarta lodadewabo loLazaro.
6 gake esi wòse be Lazaro nɔ dɔ lém la, eganɔ afi si wòle la ŋkeke eve hafi dze mɔ.
Ngakho esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wasehlala insuku ezimbili endaweni lapho ayekhona.
7 Azɔ eyɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ na wo be, “Mina míatrɔ ayi Yudea.”
Emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubafundi: Asiphinde siye eJudiya.
8 Nusrɔ̃lawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Nufiala, nyitsɔ laa ko Yudatɔwo di be yewoaƒu kpe wò le Yudea, nu ka ta nèdi be yeagayi afi ma ɖo?”
Abafundi bathi kuye: Rabi, amaJuda asanda ukudinga ukukukhanda ngamatshe, njalo uya khona futhi yini?
9 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Kekeli nɔa anyi gaƒoƒo wuieve le ŋkeke me, eye le ɣeyiɣi siawo me la, ame ate ŋu azɔ numaklimaklii, elabena ele xexe sia me ƒe kekeli kpɔm.
UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho amahola alitshumi lambili emini yini? Nxa umuntu ehamba emini, kakhubeki, ngoba uyabona ukukhanya kwalumhlaba.
10 Gake ne ele zɔzɔm le zã me la, akli nu, elabena viviti do.”
Kodwa uba umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngoba ukukhanya kakukho kuye.
11 Esi wògblɔ nya sia vɔ la, eyi edzi be, “Mia xɔlɔ̃ Lazaro le alɔ̃ dɔm, eya ta meyina be maɖanyɔe.”
Wakhuluma lezizinto, emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubo: Umngane wethu uLazaro uselele; kodwa ngiyahamba ukuze ngimvuse ebuthongweni.
12 Nusrɔ̃lawo ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, ne ele alɔ̃ dɔm la, ekema eƒe lãme asẽ.”
Ngakho abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Nkosi, uba elele, uzaphila.
13 Yesu nɔ nu ƒom tso eƒe ku ŋuti, ke nusrɔ̃lawo ya bu be alɔ̃dɔdɔ ŋutɔ gblɔm wòle.
Kodwa uJesu wakhuluma ngokufa kwakhe; kodwa bona bacabanga ukuthi wakhuluma ngokuphumula kobuthongo.
14 Yesu ɖe eme na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Lazaro ku,
Ngakho uJesu wasebatshela ngokucacileyo: ULazaro ufile.
15 eye le miawo ta la, edzɔ dzi nam ŋutɔ be nyemenɔ afi ma o, be miaxɔ dzinye ase. Miva míayi egbɔ.”
Njalo ngiyathokoza ngenxa yenu ukuthi bengingekho lapho, ukuze likholwe; kodwa asiye kuye.
16 Toma (si wogayɔna hã be Didymus) la gblɔ na nusrɔ̃la bubuawo be, “Mina míayi ale be míawo hã míaku kplii.”
Ngakho uTomasi, othiwa nguDidimusi, wathi kubafundi kanye laye: Asihambeni lathi, ukuze sife kanye laye.
17 Esi Yesu ɖo Betania la, wogblɔ nɛ be Lazaro ku, eye woɖii ŋkeke ene sɔŋ va yi xoxo.
Kwathi esefika uJesu, wamfica eselensuku ezine engcwabeni.
18 Betania anɔ abe agbadroƒe eve kple afã ene tso Yerusalem gbɔ,
LeBethani yayiseduze leJerusalema, okungaba ngamastadiyu alitshumi lanhlanu ukusuka lapho;
19 eya ta Yudatɔ geɖewo va kua teƒe be yewoado baba na Marta kple Maria siwo nye ameyinugbe la nɔviwo.
labanengi kumaJuda babefikile kuMarta loMariya, ukuze babaduduze ngomnewabo.
20 Esi Marta se be Yesu gbɔna la, edo go be yeaɖakpee le mɔa dzi. Ke Maria ya meyi o.
Ngakho uMarta, esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wayamhlangabeza; kodwa uMariya wahlala endlini.
21 Marta gblɔ na Yesu be, “Aƒetɔ, nenye ɖe nènɔ afi sia la, anye ne nɔvinye la meku o.
UMarta wasesithi kuJesu: Nkosi, aluba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga;
22 Gake menya be, nu sia nu si nèbia Mawu la, ana wò.”
kodwa lakhathesi ngiyazi ukuthi loba yini ongayicela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakunika yona.
23 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔviwò la atsi tsitre.”
UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzabuya avuke.
24 Marta gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, menya be nɔvinye la atsi tsitre le tsitretsitsi la kple nuwuwuŋkeke la dzi.”
UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uzabuya avuke ekuvukeni ngosuku lokucina.
25 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyee nye Tsitretsitsi la kple Agbe la. Ame si xɔa dzinye sena la, togbɔ be aku hã la, aganɔ agbe;
UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyikuvuka lempilo; okholwa kimi, loba esefile, uzaphila;
njalo wonke ophilayo ekholwa kimi, kasoze afe laphakade. Uyakukholwa lokhu yini? (aiōn g165)
27 Marta ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, Aƒetɔ, mexɔe se be, wòe nye Kristo, Mawu Vi la, ame si ava xexea me la.”
Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; mina ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obezakuza emhlabeni.
28 Esi wògblɔ nya sia la, edzo yi aƒe me, eye wòyɔ nɔvia Maria ɖe kpɔe gblɔ nɛ be, “Nufiala la va ɖo, eye wòdi be yeakpɔ wò.”
Esetshilo lokhu uMarta wasuka, wayabiza udadewabo uMariya ensitha, wathi: UMfundisi ulapha uyakubiza.
29 Esi Maria se nya sia la, etso enumake yi Yesu gbɔ.
Yena-ke esezwile lokhu, wahle wasukuma waya kuye.
30 Yesu mege ɖe dua me haɖe o, eganɔ afi si Marta va kpee le.
Kodwa uJesu wayengakafiki emzaneni, kodwa wayesendaweni lapho uMarta amhlangabeza khona.
31 Esi Yudatɔ siwo va aƒea me be yewoafa akɔ na Maria la kpɔe wòtso kpla do go yina la, wobu be Lazaro ƒe yɔdo to wòyina be yeaɖafa avi, eya ta wokplɔe ɖo.
Ngakho amaJuda ayesendlini laye emduduza, ebona uMariya ukuthi wasukuma ngokuphangisa ephuma, amlandela, esithi: Uya engcwabeni, ukuze akhale khona.
32 Esi Maria zɔ va ɖo afi si Yesu nɔ, eye wòkpɔe la, edze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu gblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nèle afi sia la, anye ne nɔvinye la meku o.”
Kwathi uMariya, esefike lapho uJesu akhona, embona, wawela enyaweni zakhe, esithi kuye: Nkosi, ngabe ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga.
33 Esi Yesu kpɔ ale si Maria nɔ avi fam, eye Yudatɔwo hã nɔ efam kplii la, ewɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ, eye eƒe ta me ɖe fu.
Ngakho uJesu wathi embona ekhala, lamaJuda afika laye ekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wazikhathaza,
34 Ebia be, “Afi ka woɖii ɖo?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, va kpɔ!”
wathi: Limbeke ngaphi? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone.
35 Yesu fa avi.
UJesu walila.
36 Esia ta Yudatɔwo gblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Mikpɔ ale si gbegbe wòlɔ̃e ɖa?”
Ngakho amaJuda athi: Khangelani ukuthi ubemthanda njani.
37 Gake wo dometɔ aɖewo gblɔ be, “Nu ka ta ame si ʋu ŋku na ŋkuagbãtɔ la mena be ame sia meku o ɖo?”
Kodwa amanye awo athi: Lo, owavula amehlo esiphofu, ubengekwenze yini ukuthi lalo angafi?
38 Yesu gaʋuʋu le eɖokui me esi wòva yɔdo la gbɔ. Yɔdo la nye agado aɖe si nu wotsɔ kpe xee.
Ngakho uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe wafika engcwabeni. Njalo lalilubhalu, lelitshe libekwe phezu kwalo.
39 Eɖe gbe na ameawo be, “Mimli kpe la ɖa.” Ke Marta, ame si nɔvi ku la gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, woɖii ŋkeke ene sɔŋ nye esi, eya ta anɔ ʋeʋẽm akpa.”
UJesu wathi: Susani ilitshe. UMarta udadewabo wofileyo wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngoba uselensuku ezine.
40 Yesu gblɔ be, “Nyemegblɔ na wò be, ne èxɔ dzinye se la, àkpɔ Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe oa?”
UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitshongo yini kuwe, ukuthi uba ukholwa, uzabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu?
41 Ale womli kpe la ɖa. Azɔ Yesu wu mo dzi, eye wògblɔ be, “Fofo, meda akpe na wò be èɖoa tom.
Balisusa-ke ilitshe, lapho okwakulele khona ofileyo. UJesu wasephakamisela amehlo akhe phezulu, wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngoba wena ungizwile.
42 Èɖoa tom ɣe sia ɣi, gake mele esia gblɔm le ame siwo katã le afi sia ta, ne woaxɔe ase be wòe dɔm.”
Kodwa mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalonjalo; kodwa ngenxa yexuku elingiphahlileyo ngitshilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
43 Esi wògblɔ nya sia la, edo ɣli sesĩe be, “Lazaro, do go va!”
Esetshilo lezizinto, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Lazaro, phuma!
44 Enumake ame kuku si ƒe afɔwo kple asiwo le babla la fɔ tso yɔdo la me do kple eye ameɖivɔ si me woblae ɖo, eye taku bla ŋkume nɛ. Yesu gblɔ na ameawo be, “Miɖe ameɖivɔawo le eŋu ne wòadzo.”
Wasephuma owayefile, ebotshiwe inyawo lezandla ngamalembu okuthandela isidumbu, lobuso bakhe bugoqelwe ngeqhiye. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyekele ahambe.
45 Yudatɔ siwo va be yewoakpɔ Maria ɖa, eye wokpɔ nu si Yesu wɔ la xɔ edzi se.
Ngakho abanengi kumaJuda, ababeze kuMariya bebona izinto azenzileyo uJesu, bakholwa kuye.
46 Gake wo dometɔ aɖewo yi Farisitɔwo gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nu si Yesu wɔ la na wo.
Kodwa abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela izinto azenzileyo uJesu.
47 Esi nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo se nya sia la, woyɔ Sahendriwo ƒe takpekpe. Wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nɔviwo, nu ka wɔ ge míala? Elabena ame sia le nukunu geɖewo wɔm.
Ngakho abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi baqoqa umphakathi, bathi: Sizakwenzani? Ngoba umuntu lo wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi;
48 Enye nyateƒe be ŋutsu sia le nukunu geɖewo wɔm. Ne míeɖe mɔ nɛ alea la, ame sia ame axɔ edzi ase, eye Romatɔwo ava axɔ míaƒe nɔƒe kple dukɔ la le mía si.”
uba simyekele njalo, bonke bazakholwa kuye; amaRoma asezakuza athathe lindawo lesizwe sakithi.
49 Wo dometɔ ɖeka si ŋkɔe nye Kayafa, ame si nye nunɔlagã le ƒe ma me la tsi tsitre gblɔ be, “Mienya naneke o.
Kodwa omunye wabo, uKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, wathi kubo: Kalazi lutho lina,
50 Mienya be enyo be ame ɖeka naku ɖe dukɔa ta wu be dukɔ la katã natsrɔ̃ oa?”
futhi kalinakani ukuthi kusilungele ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, lokuthi isizwe sonke singabhubhi.
51 Megblɔ esia le eɖokui si o, ke boŋ abe nunɔlagã le ƒe ma me ene la, egblɔ nya ɖi be Yesu aku ɖe dukɔ la ta,
Kodwa kazitsholongo lokhu ngokwakhe, kodwa engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, waprofetha ukuthi uJesu uzafela lesosizwe,
52 eye menye ɖe Israel dukɔ la ɖeɖe ko ta o, ke boŋ ɖe Mawu ƒe vi siwo kaka ɖe xexea me katã la ta, be woaƒo wo katã nu ƒu woazu ame ɖeka.
njalo kungabi yisizwe kuphela, kodwa ukuze abuthele ndawonye labantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekileyo babe munye.
53 Tso ema dzi la, wowɔ ɖoɖo be yewoawu Yesu.
Ngakho kusukela kulolosuku benza ndawonye icebo ukuze bambulale.
54 Esia ta Yesu megayia dutoƒo le Yudatɔwo dome. Edzo yi dzogbekɔƒe aɖe si woyɔna be Efraim la me, afi si eya kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ.
Ngakho uJesu kabesahamba obala phakathi kwamaJuda, kodwa wasuka lapho waya elizweni eliseduze lenkangala, emzini othiwa yiEfrayimi, wasehlala khona labafundi bakhe.
55 Esi Yudatɔwo ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la tu aƒe la, ame geɖewo tso du vovovowo me yi Yerusalem hena woƒe ŋutikɔklɔkɔnu la wɔwɔ hafi azã la naɖo.
Laselisondele iphasika lamaJuda; labanengi abavela emaphandleni benyukela eJerusalema lingakafiki iphasika, ukuze bazihlambulule.
56 Wo dometɔ geɖewo di be yewoakpɔ Yesu, eya ta esi wonɔ tsitre le gbedoxɔa me la, wobia wo nɔewo be, “Alekee nye miaƒe susu? Ele azã la ɖuƒe va gea?”
Ngakho bamdinga uJesu, bekhulumisana bemi ethempelini besithi: Licabangani? Lithi isibili kayikuza emkhosini yini?
57 Nunɔlagãwo kple Farisitɔwo ɖe gbe be ne ame aɖe kpɔ Yesu la, nena nyanya yewo, ne yewoalée.
Kodwa bonke abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babekhuphe umlayo wokuthi uba ekhona owaziyo lapho akhona, akubike ukuze bambambe.
