Yanisa Mishiracho 12
1 Paziga ba77eles buro usuppun gaalas attishin Yesussay hayqqope denththida Allazarey dizaso biitaniya bides.
Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
2 hen Yesussas kawo kaththida Marttay iza kawo muzishin izara isife maaddan uttdaytape issay Allazareko.
There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
3 Maramma daroo allo7o wagara shameetda liitroo bagga gidiza geshsha nardoosa shittoo ekka yada Yesussa too bolla gussada tooza ba huee ithkera quccadus, keethaka shittoo sawoy kummidees.
Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
4 Yesussa kaalliizaytape issay Yesussa aththi immana Asqqoroto Yudday hessa ixxid
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
5 “Haysi shittoozi heedzdzu xeetu dinares bayzeetdii miishshay aazas manqqotas immetbeynee?” gides.
He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
6 Izi hessa giday mishsha shishshza karaxxte oykkzadey iza gididda gish shiqqza mishshafe bees shishshdi goetzadee gidida gishasa, attin manqqotas michchetdii gidena.
He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
7 Yesussa qasse hizzgdees “haysi shittoozi tas mooggo gaalasas qoofetdaz gidida gish he woode gakkanaas iza ba achchan nagu bochchofte.
Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
8 Manqqooti ay woodeka intenara detees, gidoo attin inte tana wuriso woode demmekista.”
There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
9 He woode daroo Ayhuda asati Yesussay hen dizaysa erridi izakoo yida, yidaytkka yesussa xalala koyda gidoontta Yesussay hayqqoope denththida Allazareka beyanaskko.
A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
10 Hessa gish qeessata halaqati Yesussara Allazareka gathii wodhanas ba garssan zooretda.
So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
11 Hessika Allazare gedoon daroo Ayhuda asay Yesussako bi bidi iza ammaniiza gishasiko.
because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
12 Wonttetha gaalas ba77eleza bonchana yida derey Yesussay Yerusalame yizaysa siydees.
The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 Zammba heyththi ekkdi Yesussa mokkan kezzdes, derey qaala dhoqu histtdi hizzgdes “hosaeena!” goda sunththan yiza isiraele kawooy anjjetdade!”
So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
14 Kase “hane! xiyonee nayee baboofa! hekoo ne kawooy haree gutte toogdii yess” geetetii xaafetda mala Yesussay hare gutte demmidi toogiides.
When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
16 Iza kaallizayti hessa wuris koyyro wozinan woththbeytana, iza gish xaafettdaysane izas ooththetda hanoka wuris Yesussay hayqqope denddidape guye errida.
At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
17 Al77ezare duhaaththaope xeeygidi hayqqope denththida woode ezara isife diza asay iza denththa gish markkattda.
The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
18 Daroo asayka izi hessa mala giita malata ooththidaysa siydi iza mokkana kezides.
Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
19 Hessa gish parssaweti ba garssan isay issa “histtin ay ooththana danddaizoon? Beyte! kummetha derey atoontta iza kaalles” gida.
So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
20 Goynanas ba77elezas shiqqda asa garssan girrike dere asatika dettes.
Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
21 Isttika gaalila garssan diza beete sayda geetettza dere ass pilphphosa geetetzadeko bidi “Goodo nu Yesussa beeyana koyos” gida.
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
22 pilphphosayka inddirasas yootdes, inddirasayne pilphphosay bidi Yesussas yootda.
So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
23 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdes “heko asa nay bonchetza saatey gakkides.
Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
24 Ta intes tummu gays gistte ayfey biitan wodhada hayqqontta coou ga uttko berkka atawus, iza hayqqza gidiko hara daroo ayfawusu.
Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
25 Be shemhaaththao dosizadey dhaysess, hayssa biita bolla ba shemhaaththao ixxizadey gidiko medhina deyooy nages. (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Tas ooththana koyzadey tana, tas ooththzadey ta dizason dana, tas ooththzade ta aaway iza bonchana.
If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
27 Qasseka Yesussay hizzgdes “heko ta shemhaaththaoya mettotadus (aabo! ha saateype tana ashsha goosha?) ta hizzgonta mala ta yiday hano ha metto saateysiko.
Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
28 aabo! ne ne sunththa boncha” hessafe kaalid “ta ta sunthth bonchadis, qasseka gujja bonchana” giza qaalay salope yides.
My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
29 Hen gadan eqqda asay hessa siydi “daday dadates” gida, baggayti qasse “kitanchako hasaizadey” gida.
The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Yesussay hizzgdes “haysi giirethay yiday inte gishasa attin ta gish gidena.
Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
31 Haysi allamey pirdistana woodey hayssa, hayssa dereza hariza xalaey hai gede kare yegistana.
Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
32 Tani dhoqqu gada kaqqetza woode asa wursa tako zaarana.”
But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
33 Yesussay hessa yootday izi ay mala hayqqo hayqqanakoo errisanasiko.
He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
34 Asay qasse “nu woogan xaafettday (xoossay kittidadey medhinas dana) ges histtin ne qasse wanada (asa nay dhoqu gi kaqqistana beses) gazz? ne giza asanay awaysee?” gidi oychchida. (aiōn g165)
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
35 Yesussay isttas hizzgdes “hai guutha woodes intenara poo7oy des, gadey dhumontta poo7ora hamutite, qamara hamutzadey izi awa bizakonee errena.
Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
36 Inte poo7o nayta gidana mala poo7oy dishin poo7on ammanite” Yesussay hessa gidape guye bidi istta ayfepe gemmides.
Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
37 Yesussay isttas hessa mala malata istta sinththan ooththinkka ayhudat izan ammanbbeytena.
Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
38 Hesi haniday nabe isiyasay “goodo! nu markkatethi ammaniday oonne? Xoossa qaalay ooss qonccide?” gidi
[Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
39 Hessa gish ammananas danddaibeytena, gasooyka nabe isiyasay kase hizzgii xaafida gishshasiko.
That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
40 “Isttii ba ayfen beeydi, ba wozinan yushshi qoopidi simmontta malane izi istta paththontta mala Xoossi istta ayfe qooqisides, istta wozinaka mumisides.”
They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
41 Isiyasay hessa giday xoossay kittidade boncho beeyida gishshasa, hessa gish hessa Yesussay geesh yootdes.
Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
42 Gidikoka ayhudista halaqatape daroo asay Yesussa ammanides, gido attin istta ayhudata woosa keethafe godontta mala parssawistas babiidi ba ammano qonccen markkatibeeytena.
Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
43 Istti hessaththo haniday isttas Xoossafe immettza bonchofe aththidi asape immetza boncho dosida gishasa.
They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
44 Yesussay ba qaala dhoqu histtdii hizzgides “tana ammanizadey tanan xalala gidontta tana kittdadenkka ammanes.
[Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
45 Tana beeydadey tana kittdadeeka beeyana.
When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
46 Tana ammanizay wuri dhuman dontta mala ta poo7o gidada hayssa ha allameza yadis.
I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
47 Ta qaala siydi oosonttade bolla pirdanay tana gidike, gasooyka ta yiday dere ashshanas attin dere bolla pirdanas gidena.
As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
48 Tana koyonttadene ta qaala ekkonttade bolla pirdanadey dees, ta izas yootda qaalay wuriseththa gaalas iza bolla pirdana.
There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
49 Gasooyka tani coo ta sheeneni yootabeyke, ta gizaysane ta yootza azazo tas immiday tana kittda ta aawako.
I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
