Johana 12
1 Mĩthenya ĩtandatũ mbere ya Gĩathĩ kĩa Bathaka gũkinya, Jesũ agĩthiĩ Bethania, kũrĩa Lazaro ũrĩa aariũkĩtie aatũũraga.
Then, six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 Nĩ kwarugirwo irio cia hwaĩ-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ. Maritha nĩwe watungataga, nake Lazaro aarĩ ũmwe wa arĩa maikarĩte metha-inĩ na Jesũ.
There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.
3 Nake Mariamu akĩoya cuba ya maguta manungi wega na ma goro mũno, akĩhaka Jesũ magũrũ, agĩcooka akĩmũgiria na njuĩrĩ yake. Nayo nyũmba ĩkĩiyũra mũtararĩko mwega wa maguta macio.
Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment.
4 No mũrutwo ũmwe wa Jesũ wetagwo Judasi Isikariota, ũrĩa wacookire kũmũkunyanĩra, akĩregana na ũndũ ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ,
Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to deliver him up:
5 “Nĩkĩ kĩragiririe maguta macio mendio na mbeeca icio iheo athĩĩni? Nĩmaraiganĩte mũcaara wa mwaka mũgima.”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 Ndoigire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa gũcaĩra athĩĩni, no oigire ũguo nĩ ũndũ aarĩ mũici, tondũ nĩwe wakuuaga mũhuko wa mbeeca, na nĩaiyaga imwe akahũthĩra we mwene.
But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it.
7 Nake Jesũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tiganai nake, araigĩte maguta macio nĩ ũndũ wa mũthenya ũrĩa ngaathikwo.
Then Jesus said: Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 Athĩĩni mũrĩ nao hĩndĩ ciothe, no niĩ mũtirĩkoragwo na niĩ hĩndĩ ciothe.”
For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
9 Ihinda-inĩ o rĩu gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa Ayahudi gĩkĩmenya atĩ Jesũ aarĩ kũu na gĩgĩũka, na gĩtiokire nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ tu, no ningĩ nĩgeetha kĩone o na Lazaro ũcio aariũkĩtie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene magĩthugunda kũũraga Lazaro o nake,
But the chief priests consulted that they might kill Lazarus also,
11 nĩgũkorwo nĩ ũndũ wake Ayahudi aingĩ nĩmathiiaga kũrĩ Jesũ na makamwĩtĩkia.
because on account of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ andũ aingĩ arĩa mokĩte nĩ ũndũ wa Gĩathĩ kĩu makĩigua atĩ Jesũ aarĩ njĩra-inĩ agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
On the next day, a great multitude that had come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
13 Magĩkuua mĩkĩndũ, magĩthiĩ namo kũmũtũnga, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Hosana!” “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani!” “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli!”
took branches of palm-trees, and went out to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.
14 Nake Jesũ akĩona njaũ ya ndigiri, akĩmĩikarĩra, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ,
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon him, as it is written:
15 “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni; ta rora, mũthamaki waku nĩarooka, aikarĩire njaũ ya ndigiri.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king comes, sitting on the colt of an ass.
16 Arutwo ake matiambĩte gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ gĩtũmi kĩa maũndũ macio. No Jesũ aarĩkia kũgoocithio nĩguo maataũkĩirwo atĩ maũndũ macio maandĩkĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wake, na atĩ ũguo noguo maamwĩkĩte.
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa andũ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ nake rĩrĩa eetire Lazaro oime mbĩrĩra-inĩ na akĩmũriũkia kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ gĩgĩthiĩ na mbere kũmemerekia ũhoro ũcio.
The multitude therefore that was with him, testified that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead.
18 Andũ aingĩ magĩũka gũtũnga Jesũ nĩ ũndũ nĩmaiguĩte atĩ nĩaringĩte kĩama kĩu.
For this reason, also, the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Afarisai makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩonei tũtirĩ ũndũ tũreeka. Onei ũrĩa andũ othe mamũrũmĩrĩire!”
Then the Pharisees said among themselves: You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.
20 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na Ayunani gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arĩa maathiĩte gũthathaiya Ngai Gĩathĩ-inĩ kĩu.
Among those who came to worship at the feast were certain Greeks.
21 Nao magĩũka kũrĩ Filipu, ũrĩa woimĩte itũũra rĩa Bethisaida kũu Galili, marĩ na ihooya, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũthuuri ũyũ, no twende kuona Jesũ.”
These then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying: Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Nake Filipu agĩthiĩ akĩĩra Anderea ũhoro ũcio, nao eerĩ magĩthiĩ makĩĩra Jesũ.
Philip came and told Andrew; and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ihinda nĩrĩkinyu Mũrũ wa Mũndũ agoocithio.
But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come that the Son of man must be glorified.
24 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, tiga hĩndĩ ya ngano yambire kũgũa tĩĩri-inĩ ĩkue-rĩ, ĩtũũraga ĩrĩ iiki. No ĩngĩkua, nĩĩciaraga maciaro maingĩ.
Verily, verily I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it produces much fruit.
25 Mũndũ ũrĩa wendete muoyo wake nĩakoorwo nĩguo, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũthũire muoyo wake arĩ gũkũ thĩ, nĩakaũtũũria nginya muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ũrĩa wothe ũndungatagĩra no nginya anũmĩrĩre, nĩgeetha harĩa ndĩ o nayo ndungata yakwa ĩgaakorwo ho. Ũrĩa ũndungatagĩra-rĩ, nake Baba nĩarĩmũtĩĩaga.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any one serve me, him will my Father honor.
27 “Rĩu ngoro yakwa nĩĩratangĩka, na niĩ ngũkiuga atĩa? Njuge, ‘Baba honokia harĩ ihinda rĩĩrĩ’? Aca, gĩtũmi gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmĩte nginyie ihinda rĩĩrĩ.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this purpose came I to this hour.
28 Baba, goocithia rĩĩtwa rĩaku!” Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũgambo ũkiuma igũrũ ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩrĩgoocithĩtie na no ngũrĩgoocithia o rĩngĩ.”
Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice from heaven: I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa andũ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ ho na gĩkĩigua ũguo, gĩkiuga atĩ mũgambo ũcio nĩwarurumaga; nao arĩa angĩ makiuga atĩ nĩ mũraika wamwarĩria.
Then the multitude that stood by and heard it, said: It thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
30 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũgambo ũcio ndũnaaria nĩ ũndũ wakwa, no waria nĩ ũndũ wanyu.
Jesus answered and said: This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Hĩndĩ nĩ nginyu thĩ ĩno ĩtuĩrwo ciira; nake mũnene wa thĩ ĩno nĩekũingatwo.
Now is the judgment of this world: now is the prince of this world cast out.
32 No niĩ ndaarĩkia kũhaicio igũrũ kuuma thĩ, nĩngaguucĩrĩria andũ othe harĩ niĩ.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
33 Oigire ũguo nĩgeetha onanie gĩkuũ kĩrĩa agaakua.
This he said, signifying what death he was about to die.
34 Gĩkundi kĩu gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũiguĩte kuuma Watho-inĩ atĩ Kristũ egũtũũra tene na tene, nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩ atĩa ũguo woiga atĩ ‘Mũrũ wa Mũndũ no nginya ahaicio igũrũ’? Ũcio ‘Mũrũ wa Mũndũ’ nũũ?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that the Christ remains forever: and how say you that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩmũgũkorwo na ũtheri ihinda rĩngĩ inini. Thiiagai rĩrĩa mũrĩ na ũtheri, nduma ĩtanamũtumanĩra. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiaga na nduma ndamenyaga kũrĩa arathiĩ.
Then Jesus said to them: Yet a little while is the light with you: walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. For he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes.
36 Mwĩhokagei ũtheri hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũrĩ naguo, nĩgeetha mũtuĩke ciana cia ũtheri.” Nake Jesũ aarĩkia kwaria, akĩmehitha, agĩĩthiĩra.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become the sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and he departed, and concealed himself from them.
37 O na thuutha wa Jesũ kũringa ciama icio ciothe makĩonaga-rĩ, matiigana kũmwĩtĩkia.
But though he had done so many signs in their presence, yet they believed not on him,
38 Ũndũ ũcio warĩ wa kũhingia kiugo kĩa Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii kĩrĩa kĩũragia atĩrĩ: “Mwathani, nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ, nakuo guoko kwa Mwathani kũguũrĩirio ũ?”
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matingĩetĩkirie, nĩ tondũ Isaia nĩoigĩte handũ hangĩ atĩrĩ:
For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “Nĩamatuĩte atumumu, na akoomia ngoro ciao, nĩgeetha matikoone na maitho mao, kana mataũkĩrwo ngoro-inĩ ciao, o na kana magarũrũke, na niĩ ndĩmahonie.”
He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should give them health.
41 Isaia oigire ũguo nĩ ũndũ nĩooneete riiri wa Jesũ, na akĩaria ũhoro wake.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 No o na gũtariĩ o ũguo, aingĩ o na gatagatĩ ka atongoria a Ayahudi nĩmamwĩtĩkirie. No nĩ ũndũ wa Afarisai, matingĩoimbũrire wĩtĩkio wao nĩ gwĩtigĩra matikaingatwo thunagogi;
But yet, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they would not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
43 nĩgũkorwo nĩmendete kũgoocwo nĩ andũ gũkĩra kũgoocwo nĩ Ngai.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũnjĩtĩkĩtie, to niĩ nyiki etĩkĩtie, no etĩkĩtie o na ũrĩa wandũmire.
Jesus cried, and said: He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio andora, onaga ũrĩa wandũmire.
And he that sees me, sees him that sent me.
46 Niĩ njũkĩte gũkũ thĩ ndĩ ũtheri, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe o na ũmwe ũnjĩtĩkĩtie ũngĩikara nduma-inĩ.
I have come a light into the world, that he who believes on me, may not remain in darkness.
47 “Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũiguaga ũhoro wakwa no akaaga kũũhingia, ndikũmũtuĩra ciira; nĩgũkorwo ndiokire gũtuĩra andũ a thĩ ciira, no ndokire kũmahonokia.
And if any one hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Mũtuanĩri ciira arĩ ho, harĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũndegaga na akaaga gwĩtĩkĩra ciugo ciakwa; kiugo kĩu ndaaririe nĩkĩo gĩkaamũtuĩra ciira mũthenya wa mũthia.
He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has that which judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
49 Nĩgũkorwo ndiaririe ndĩĩrĩte niĩ mwene, no Baba ũrĩa wandũmire nĩwe wanjathire ũrĩa ingiuga, na ũrĩa ingĩaria.
For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
