uYohana 12
1 Mahiku mutandatu ze ikili ipasaka, uYesu ai wendile ku Bethania, kai ukoli uLazaro, nuanso nai umiukilye ku puma mu ashi.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead, was.
2 Ila akamuzipilililya indya nia mpindi kuko, nu Martha akamuaiilya, itungo nilanso uLazaro ai watulaa ung'wi ao nua awo nai ikie mu ndya palung'wi nu Yesu,
So they made him a dinner there, and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of those who was lying down at the table with Jesus.
3 Hangi uMariamu akahola i ratili a manyukiilo nai azipigwe ku nadro nziza, ikete nsailo nkulu, akamupuguhila uYesu mu migulu, nu kumupyagula i migulu ku nsingi ni akwe; ito lihi likizula u unyunki nua manyunkiilo.
Then Mary took a litra of perfume made of very precious pure nard, anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 uYuda Iskariote, ung'wi nua awo ia manyisigwa akwe, naiza yuyo nuika mugumaniilya uYesu, akaligitya.
Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who would betray him, said,
5 Ku niki i manyunkiilo aya shanga aza aguigwe ku dinari magana ataatu nu kinkiiligwa i aula?”
“Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 Nu ng'wenso ai uligitilye nanso shanga kuaisiilya aula, ila ku nsoko ai waatuilee mii; ung'wenso yuyo ai watuile uambiie i mbugulu a mpia hangi ai watuilee wiholaa ing'wi nai aiekilwe mung'wanso kunsoko akwe mukola.
Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He had the moneybag and would steal from what was put in it.
7 uYesu ai uligiyilye, muleke waike nukete ku nsoko a luhiku nula uikwi nu ane.
Jesus said, “Allow her to keep what she has for the day of my burial.
8 i aula mukutula nienso mahiku ihi, kuiti shanga mukutula nu nene mahiku ihi.”
You will always have the poor with you. But you will not always have me.”
9 Iti gwa i umbi ikulu ni la Ayahudi nai alijaa kulinga nia kina uYesu ukoli kuko, ni eso akapembya shanga kunsoko ang'wa Yesu duu. Ila amihenge nu Petro nai umiulilye kupuma mu ashi.
Now a large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, and they came, not only for Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
10 Ni enso i akulu a kuhani akazipya lukani iti amubulage u Lazaro;
The chief priests conspired together so that they might also put Lazarus to death;
11 ndogoelyo kunsoko ayo imakani akwe idu mu Ayahudi ai alongoe yao nu kumuhiila uYesu
for it was because of him that many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 Nu luhiku nula kabiili lakwe i umbi ikulu ai lizile mu siku kuu. Nai akija kina uYesu upembilye ku Yerusalemu,
On the next day a great crowd came to the festival. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 ai ahoile i ntambi nia makota a mitende nu kupuma kunzi kulongola kumusingiilya hangi akakua iyogo, “Hosiana Ukendepilwe nuanso nu pembilye ku lina nila Mukulu, Mutemi nua Israeli.”
they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.”
14 uYesu ai umuligilye u ng'waa ndogwe akanankila; anga uu nai ukiliseigwe.
Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it was written,
15 Leka kitumba munanso nua Sayuni; goza, uMutemi nuako upembilye, unankie ng'waa ndogwe.”
“Do not fear, daughter of Zion; see, your King is coming, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
16 Amanyisigwa akwe shanga ai amalingile imakani aya apo u ng'wandyo; kuiti uYesu nai wakakuligwa, papo nai akimbukiiye nia kina imakani aya ai ukiliseigwe nuanso nia kina itumile imakani aya kitalakwe.
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
17 Uugwa idale ilo nila antu nai akoli palung'wi nu Yesu itungo nai umitangile uLazaro kupuma mu kibiila, aka kuiila ku auya.
Now the crowd testified that they had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him up from the dead.
18 Hangi ai ituile ga ni kunsoko iyi kina idale nila antu ai alongoe kumusingiilya ku nsoko ai igulye kina witumile ikilingasiilyo nikanso.
It was also for this reason that the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 iAfarisayo akitambulya i enso ku enso, Goza, itungili shanga muhumile kituma kihi; goza, u unkumbigulu walongolaa kitalakwe.”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “Look, you can do nothing; see, the world has gone after him.”
20 Itungili ang'wi a Ayahudi ai atulaa mu kati ao mu awo nai atulaa alongoe kipolya mu siku kuu.
Now certain Greeks were among those who were going up to worship at the festival.
21 Awa ai amuhangile uFilipo, naiza upumiie ku Bethsaida a ku Galilaya, akamulompa aze ligitya, “Mukulu, usese kukete nsula kumihenga uYesu.”
These went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 uFilipo akalongola akamutambuila uAndrea; uAndrea nu Filipo akalongola nu kumutambuila uYesu.
Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 uYesu aka asukiilya, Isaa apika ku nsoko a ng'wana nuang'wa Adamu ku kuligwa.
Jesus answered them and said, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Huiili, huiili, kumutambuila, imbeu a ngano anga ileke kugwa mi ihi nu kusha, ikiee uu ing'wene duu, ila anga ishe, ikupa nkali idu.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it will bear much fruit.
25 Nuanso nululoilwe u likalo nu lakwe ukululimilya; ila nuanso nu lubipiwe u likalo nu lakwe mu unkumbigulu uwu uku uhuja ga u upanga nua kali na kali. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it; but he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Muntu wihi anga wanzailye unene, nu antyate, nu nene kunkoli, papo nu munyamilimo nuane nuikatula ukoli. Muntu wihi nuikanzaiilya, uTata ukumukulya.
If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Itungili i nkolo ane ahusha: nu nene ndigitye uli? 'Tata, ungune mu saa iyi” kuiti ingi ku isigo ili nimipikiie i saa iyi.
Now my soul is troubled and what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.
28 Tata, ulikulye i lina ni lako.” Uugwa luli lukaza nu kuligitya “Nalikulyaa nu nene kulikulya hangi.”
Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven and said, “I have glorified it and I will glorify it again.”
29 Ila ianza nai limikile pakupi ni enso akija, akaligitya nia kina yatula nu mulilo, Auya ai aligitilye, “Malaika witambuuye nu ng'wenso.”
Then the crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 uYesu akasukiilya nu kuligitya, Luli ulu shanga luzile ku nsoko ane, ila kunsoko anyu.
Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come for me, but for you.
31 Itungili ulamulwa nua unkumbigulu uwu ukoli; Itungili u mukulu nua unkumbigulu uwu ukugung'wa kunzi.
Now is the judgment of this world: Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
32 Nu nene anga nyansulwe migulya ihi, kualuta ihi kitalane.”
When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.”
33 Ai wituntile nanso azelagiila ingi nshile kii nuikasha.
He said this to indicate what kind of death he would die.
34 Ianza likasukiilya, “Usese kigulye mi lagiilyo nia kina uKristo ukikie i kali na kali. Nu ewe kuligitya uli, 'Ng'wana nuang'wa Adamu kusinja wanyansulwe migulya'? uyu u ng'wana nua muntu ingi nyenyu?” (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will stay forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
35 Ila uYesu aka atambuila, “Welu ukoli palung'wi nu nyenye itungo iniino. Longoli nsoko mukete u welu, iti kina i kiti kileke kumuhumiilya. Nuanso nui longolaa mukiti shanga ulingile kulongoe.
Jesus then said to them, “The light will still be with you for a short amount of time. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Mukili mukete u welu.” uYesu ai umaligitilye ni hangi akalongola yakwe akipiha aleke kumihenga.
While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may be sons of light.” Jesus said these things and then departed and hid from them.
37 Ga ni iti uYesu aiwitumile ilingasiilyo idu kinya nianso ntongeela ao, akili shanga akahuiila.
Although Jesus had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him
38 iti lipikiile ikani ni lang'wa Isaya, nai uligitilye; “Mukulu, ingi nyenyu nai uhuiie inkani yitu? Nu mukono nua Mukulu ukunukuiwe nyenyu?”
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, in which he said: “Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Yiyo nsoko ni anso shanga ai ahuiie, ndogoelyo uIsaya ai uligitilye hangi,
For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah had also said,
40 “Uapokuuye imiho, nu kuitenda nkaku i nkolo ni ao; aleke kihenga ku miho ao nu kulinga ku nkolo ni ao, nu kugunika nu nene nikaanguna.”
“He has blinded their eyes, and he has hardened their hearts; otherwise they would see with their eyes and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
41 uIsaya ai uligitilye imakani nanso kunsoko ai wihengile ikulyo nilang'wa Yesu nu kuligitya inkani niakwe.
Isaiah said these things because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke of him.
42 Ga ni iti, ga i akulu idu ai amuhuiie uYesu; kuiti ku nsoko iAfarisayo, shanga ai alapile iti aleke kubagulwa ni Itekeelo.
But despite that, many of the rulers believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees, they did not admit it so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.
43 Ai iloile ikulyo ni ana adamu kukila ikulyo nilipembeeye kung'wa Itungo.
They loved the praise that comes from people more than the praise that comes from God.
44 uYesu akanyansula ululi nu kuligitya, “Nuanso nunihuiie unene, shanga unihuiie unene duu ila nu ng'wenso nai undagiiye unene,
Jesus cried out and said, “The one who believes in me, believes not only in me but also in him who sent me,
45 nuanso nunihengile unene umihengile nuanso nai undagiiye.
and the one who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Unene nzile anga welu mu unkumbigulu iti kila muntu nu nihuiie unene waleke kikie mu kiti.
I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Anga itule umuntu wihi ukija imakani ane kuiti waleke kumaamba, unene shanga kumulamula; ndogoelyo shanga ainzile iti nu ulamule u unkumbigulu, ila nuugune u unkumbigulu.
If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Nuanso nui nihitaa unene hangi shanga wimagombaa imakani ane, ukete nui mulamulaa; lukani nulanso ni nululigitilye lulo nulikamulamula uluhiku nula mpelo.
The one who rejects me and who does not receive my words, has one who judges him. The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Ndogoelyo unene shanga ai ndigitilye ku umi nuane du. Ila ingi Tata nai untwae, ng'wenso mukola ai undagiiye ni nikamatambula nu kumaligitya.
For I did not speak for myself, but it is the Father who sent me, who has given me the command about what to say and what to speak.
