Yanisa Mishiracho 12
1 Paziga ba77eles buro usuppun gaalas attishin Yesussay hayqqope denththida Allazarey dizaso biitaniya bides.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
2 hen Yesussas kawo kaththida Marttay iza kawo muzishin izara isife maaddan uttdaytape issay Allazareko.
There a supper was given in honour at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
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.
So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
4 Yesussa kaalliizaytape issay Yesussa aththi immana Asqqoroto Yudday hessa ixxid
One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked:
5 “Haysi shittoozi heedzdzu xeetu dinares bayzeetdii miishshay aazas manqqotas immetbeynee?” gides.
“Why was not this perfume sold for thirty pounds, and the money given to poor people?”
6 Izi hessa giday mishsha shishshza karaxxte oykkzadey iza gididda gish shiqqza mishshafe bees shishshdi goetzadee gidida gishasa, attin manqqotas michchetdii gidena.
He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
7 Yesussa qasse hizzgdees “haysi shittoozi tas mooggo gaalasas qoofetdaz gidida gish he woode gakkanaas iza ba achchan nagu bochchofte.
“Let her alone,” said Jesus, “that she may keep it till the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
8 Manqqooti ay woodeka intenara detees, gidoo attin inte tana wuriso woode demmekista.”
The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.”
9 He woode daroo Ayhuda asati Yesussay hen dizaysa erridi izakoo yida, yidaytkka yesussa xalala koyda gidoontta Yesussay hayqqoope denththida Allazareka beyanaskko.
Now great numbers of the Jews found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not solely on his account, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Hessa gish qeessata halaqati Yesussara Allazareka gathii wodhanas ba garssan zooretda.
The Chief Priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
11 Hessika Allazare gedoon daroo Ayhuda asay Yesussako bi bidi iza ammaniiza gishasiko.
because it was owing to him that many of the Jews had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
12 Wonttetha gaalas ba77eleza bonchana yida derey Yesussay Yerusalame yizaysa siydees.
On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm-branches,
13 Zammba heyththi ekkdi Yesussa mokkan kezzdes, derey qaala dhoqu histtdi hizzgdes “hosaeena!” goda sunththan yiza isiraele kawooy anjjetdade!”
and went out to meet him, shouting as they went: “‘God save Him! Blessed is He who Comes in the name of the Lord’ — 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.
Having found a young ass, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of Scripture —
‘Fear not, Daughter of Zion; Behold, thy King is coming to thee, Sitting on the foal of an ass.’
16 Iza kaallizayti hessa wuris koyyro wozinan woththbeytana, iza gish xaafettdaysane izas ooththetda hanoka wuris Yesussay hayqqope denddidape guye errida.
His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in Scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
17 Al77ezare duhaaththaope xeeygidi hayqqope denththida woode ezara isife diza asay iza denththa gish markkattda.
Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
18 Daroo asayka izi hessa mala giita malata ooththidaysa siydi iza mokkana kezides.
This, indeed, was why the crowd met him — because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
19 Hessa gish parssaweti ba garssan isay issa “histtin ay ooththana danddaizoon? Beyte! kummetha derey atoontta iza kaalles” gida.
So the Pharisees said to one another: “You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!”
20 Goynanas ba77elezas shiqqda asa garssan girrike dere asatika dettes.
Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
21 Isttika gaalila garssan diza beete sayda geetettza dere ass pilphphosa geetetzadeko bidi “Goodo nu Yesussa beeyana koyos” gida.
who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said: “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 pilphphosayka inddirasas yootdes, inddirasayne pilphphosay bidi Yesussas yootda.
Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
23 Yesussayka isttas hizzgdes “heko asa nay bonchetza saatey gakkides.
This was his reply — “The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
24 Ta intes tummu gays gistte ayfey biitan wodhada hayqqontta coou ga uttko berkka atawus, iza hayqqza gidiko hara daroo ayfawusu.
In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
25 Be shemhaaththao dosizadey dhaysess, hayssa biita bolla ba shemhaaththao ixxizadey gidiko medhina deyooy nages. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life loses it; while he who hates his life in the present world shall preserve it for Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Tas ooththana koyzadey tana, tas ooththzadey ta dizason dana, tas ooththzade ta aaway iza bonchana.
If a man is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant shall be also. If a man is ready to serve me, my Father will honour him.
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 distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour — yet it was for this very reason that I came to this hour —
28 aabo! ne ne sunththa boncha” hessafe kaalid “ta ta sunthth bonchadis, qasseka gujja bonchana” giza qaalay salope yides.
Father, honour thine own name.” At this there came a voice from Heaven, which said: “I have already honoured it, and I will honour it again.”
29 Hen gadan eqqda asay hessa siydi “daday dadates” gida, baggayti qasse “kitanchako hasaizadey” gida.
The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said: “An angel has been speaking to him.”
30 Yesussay hizzgdes “haysi giirethay yiday inte gishasa attin ta gish gidena.
“It was not for my sake that the voice came,” said Jesus, “but for yours.
31 Haysi allamey pirdistana woodey hayssa, hayssa dereza hariza xalaey hai gede kare yegistana.
Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world shall be driven out;
32 Tani dhoqqu gada kaqqetza woode asa wursa tako zaarana.”
and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men to myself.”
33 Yesussay hessa yootday izi ay mala hayqqo hayqqanakoo errisanasiko.
By these words he indicated what death he was destined 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)
“We,” replied the people, “have learned from the Law that the ‘Christ is to remain for ever’; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be ‘lifted up’ Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
35 Yesussay isttas hizzgdes “hai guutha woodes intenara poo7oy des, gadey dhumontta poo7ora hamutite, qamara hamutzadey izi awa bizakonee errena.
“Only a little while longer,” answered Jesus, “will you have the Light among you. Travel on while you have the Light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Inte poo7o nayta gidana mala poo7oy dishin poo7on ammanite” Yesussay hessa gidape guye bidi istta ayfepe gemmides.
While you still have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be ‘Sons of Light.’” After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
37 Yesussay isttas hessa mala malata istta sinththan ooththinkka ayhudat izan ammanbbeytena.
But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
38 Hesi haniday nabe isiyasay “goodo! nu markkatethi ammaniday oonne? Xoossa qaalay ooss qonccide?” gidi
in fulfilment of the words of the Prophet Isaiah, where he says — ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?’
39 Hessa gish ammananas danddaibeytena, gasooyka nabe isiyasay kase hizzgii xaafida gishshasiko.
The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words —
40 “Isttii ba ayfen beeydi, ba wozinan yushshi qoopidi simmontta malane izi istta paththontta mala Xoossi istta ayfe qooqisides, istta wozinaka mumisides.”
‘He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn — And I should heal them.’
41 Isiyasay hessa giday xoossay kittidade boncho beeyida gishshasa, hessa gish hessa Yesussay geesh yootdes.
Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
42 Gidikoka ayhudista halaqatape daroo asay Yesussa ammanides, gido attin istta ayhudata woosa keethafe godontta mala parssawistas babiidi ba ammano qonccen markkatibeeytena.
Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, on account of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, for fear that they should be expelled from their Synagogues;
43 Istti hessaththo haniday isttas Xoossafe immettza bonchofe aththidi asape immetza boncho dosida gishasa.
for they valued honour from men more than honour from God.
44 Yesussay ba qaala dhoqu histtdii hizzgides “tana ammanizadey tanan xalala gidontta tana kittdadenkka ammanes.
But Jesus had proclaimed: “He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
45 Tana beeydadey tana kittdadeeka beeyana.
and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Tana ammanizay wuri dhuman dontta mala ta poo7o gidada hayssa ha allameza yadis.
I have come as a Light into the world, that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
47 Ta qaala siydi oosonttade bolla pirdanay tana gidike, gasooyka ta yiday dere ashshanas attin dere bolla pirdanas gidena.
When any one hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Tana koyonttadene ta qaala ekkonttade bolla pirdanadey dees, ta izas yootda qaalay wuriseththa gaalas iza bolla pirdana.
He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already — the very Message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last Day.
49 Gasooyka tani coo ta sheeneni yootabeyke, ta gizaysane ta yootza azazo tas immiday tana kittda ta aawako.
For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
