< Joni 11 >

1 Hagi mago nera Lasarusi'e nehaza ne'mo'a kri eri'ne. Agra Betanitire, Maria'ene nenunkna Matake nemani'a kumate nere.
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Maria'a mananentake masavenu Ramofo agare frenteteno, anu azokateti ana agama eri ho'mu hu'nea a'mofo nesaro kria eri'ne.
(Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.)
3 Ana nanunkna'moke Jisasintega kea atrenteke, anage hu'na'e, Ramoka antahio, Kagrama avesima nentamo'a kri eri'ne.
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, behold, the one yoʋ love is sick.”
4 Higeno Jisasi'a ana ke nentahino, anage hu'ne, Ana krimo'a fri kantera avreno ovugahie, na'ankure Anumzamofo ra agi ami'nigeno, ana zantetira Anumzamofo Mofavremo ra agi erigahie.
But when Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Jisasi'a Matane nenunknane, Lasarusine avesizamante'ne.
Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Hianagi Lasarusi kri eri'ne nanekema hazageno nentahino'a, tare zage'gna anama mani'nea kumate mani'ne.
But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
7 Ana huteno amage'nentaza disaipol nagaku huno, Judia kaziga ete vanune huno zamasmi'ne.
After that he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Hige'za amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za anage hu'za asmi'naze, Rempi hurami ne'moke (Rabbi), Jiu kva vahe'mo'za mensintfama have knonu kahenaku nehzarega, Kagra ete vu'za nehano?
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone yoʋ, and yet you are going there again?”
9 Jisasi'a kenona zamire anage hu'ne, 12fu'a kna (aua) mago zagefina omane'nefi? Mago vahe'mo'ma zage ferupima vanuno'a agra traka osugahie, na'ankure ama mopafi masa agra nege.
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Hu'neanagi mago'mo hanimpima vanuno'a ome traka hugahie, na'ankure masa agripina omne'ne.
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Anagema huteno, mago'ene Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, Ronetimo Lasarusi'a avu mase'ne, hianagi menina Nagra ome azeri otigahue.
After saying this, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 Hige'za amage'nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za anage hu'naze, Ramoka, agra avu'ma mase'nesuno'a, knare hugahie.
His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Hagi Jisasi'ma hu'neana, Lasarusi'a ko fri'nea zanku hu'neanagi, zamagrama antahi'zana amne avu mase'nea zanku nehie hu'za antahi'naze.
(They thought Jesus was speaking about natural sleep, but he was actually speaking about Lazarus' death.)
14 Jisasi'a anante huama huno zamasmi'ne, Lasarusi'a ko fri'ne,
Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
15 Tamagri tamaza hanigu Nagra muse nehu'na, ana kumatera omani'noe, e'ina hanigeta tamagra tamentinti hugahaze. Hianagi erinketa agritega vamneno.
and I rejoice for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 E'ina hianagi Tomasi (Didimasi'e hu'neana kugavezare) nehaza ne'mo, magoka Jisasi amage nentaza disaipol nagaku huno, tagranena erinketa vuta Agrane ufri'maneno hu'ne.
Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
17 Hagi Jisasi'a ana kumate uhanatino, ome antahiana Lasarusina ko havegampi asentageno, 4'a zagegna evu'ne.
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already.
18 Betani kumara Jerusalemi tava'onte 3 kilo mitanaza me'ne.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 Rama'a Jiu vahe'mo'za e'za Matane Maria kiznia, neznasaro fri'negeza e'za zname rentinti hu'naze.
and many of the Jews had joined the women who were with Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother.
20 Jisasi ne-e hia kema Matama nentahino, kantega ome kenaku vu'ne. Hianagi Maria'a nompi mani'ne.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
21 Mata'a, Jisasina ome keno anage huno asmi'ne, Ramoka, Kagrama amafima mani'nantesina, nensaro Lasarusi'a ofrisine.
Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Hianagi meninena nagra antahi'noe, na'anku'ma Anumzamofo antahige'sankeno'a, Anumzamo'a anazana kamigahie.
But even now I know that God will give yoʋ whatever yoʋ ask of him.”
23 Jisasi'a kenona huno asmi'ne, Negsaro Lasarusi'a ete otino asimu erigahie.
Jesus said to her, “Yoʋr brother will rise again.”
24 Mata'a amanage huno Jisasina asmi'ne, Nagra antahi'noe, henkama otisaza zupa vagare knarera, agra otino asimu erigahie.
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jisasi'a amanage huno Matana asmi'ne, Fripinti otino asimu erino mani'zamofo agafa'a Nagra mani'noe, iza'o Nagrite'ma amentinti hanimo'a, frigahianagi asimu erino manigahie.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
26 Maka vahe'mo'za mani'neza Nagrite zamentinti hanazana, ofri'tfa hugahaze. Amama nehua kegura kagra kamentintia nehampi? (aiōn g165)
No one who lives and believes in me will ever die. Do yoʋ believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Higeno Mata'a anage huno asmi'ne, Izo Ramoka, nagra namentinti hue, Kagra Kraisige, Anumzamofo mofavre'moka Kagra ama mopafi erami'nane.
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
28 Mata'a anage huteno, vuno nenunkna Mariana sumi huno agesafi asami'ne, Hurami ne'mo'a ne-eno kagriku ke nehie huno asamigeno,
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for yoʋ.”
29 ana kema nentahino'a, ame' huno otino Jisasinte vu'ne.
When Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to him.
30 Jisasi'a ana kumapina uofreno, kantega Matama omege'nere mani'negeno, Maria'a emege'ne.
(Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha had met him.)
31 Anante Jiu vahe'mo'za Maria'ene nompi ame rentinti hu'za mani'nareti, kageno'ma agra ame' huno otino megi'a vige'za, zamagra amage nevu'za, keri'are zavi ome ate'naku nevie hu'za antahi'naze.
When the Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw her rise quickly and go out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 E'ina higeno, Maria'a Jisasi'ma mani'nere eno eme negeno, agiafi emaseno, anage huno asmi'ne, Ramoka, kagrama amafima mani'nantesina, nensaro Lasarusi'a ofrisine.
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Jisasima kegeno zavi'ma netegeno'a, ana a'ene e'naza Jiu vahe'mo'zanema zavi atageno, Jisasi'a nezmageno agu'afina tusi'za huno rimpamo'a kna nehigeno,
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and troubled.
34 Jisasi'a zamantahigeno, Inantega ana nera asente'naze? Zamagra kenona hu'za Agrira asmi'naze, Ramoka enka emego.
He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Hazageno Jisasi'a zavi' ate'ne.
Jesus wept.
36 Zamasuma ragiku'ma e'naza Jiu vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, Keho agrira tusi'za huno avesinte'ne!
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 Hianagi mago'amo'za anage hu'naze, Ama ne'mo avu suhu ne' eri hari hunte'neankino, Agra Lasarusina mago'a zana huntegeno ofrino manisimpi?
But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Anante Jisasi mago'ene, rimpamo'a kna nehigeno ana ne'mofo kerire uhanati'ne. Havega me'nege'za ufrekantera have eri'za runkani re'naze.
Deeply moved once more, Jesus came to the tomb. (It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.)
39 Jisasi'a huno, Ana have rezahe hutreho, higeno fri'nea ne'mofo nesaro Mata'a anage huno asami'ne, Ramoka, menina kno hi'mana vugahie. Na'ankure 4'a zagegna ko mani'ne.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the man who had died, said to him, “Lord, there is already a stench, for it is the fourth day.”
40 Higeno Jisasi'a anage huno ana ara asmi'ne, Ko kasami'noe, kagrama kamentinti hanunka Anumzamofo hihamu hankave'a (glori) kegahane hu'na kasmi'nofi?
Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell yoʋ that if yoʋ believed yoʋ would see the glory of God?”
41 Hige'za anankema nentahi'za ana have rezahe hutre'naze. Anante Jisasi'a kesga hunagamuteno, anage hu'ne, Nenfaga, Nagra muse hugantoe, Kagra ke'nia antahi nami'nane.
So they took away the stone from where the dead man was laid. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank yoʋ that yoʋ have heard me.
42 Nagra antahi'noe, hakare zupa keni'a nentahine, hianagi kema nehuana ama oti'za mani'naza vaheku hu'na Nagra nehue. Kagra hunantanke'na e'noe hu'za zamagra zamentinti hanagu nehue.
I know that yoʋ always hear me, but I say this for the benefit of the crowd that is standing here, so that they may believe that yoʋ sent me.”
43 Jisasi'a anagema huteno'a, kezatino Lasarusiga, atiraminka eno!
After saying this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Higeno fri'nea ne'mo atiramino e'ne, agiane, azanena, tavrave nofi'nu ana'neki'za, avugosa tavravenu anovazinageno Jisasi'a zamasmino, Tavarave'a vakneta eri atrenkeno vino.
Then the man who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
45 E'ina hige'za, rama'a Jiu vahe'ma Maria'ene e'namo'za, Jisasi'ma hiaza nege'za, Agrite zamentinti hu'naze.
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 Hianagi mago'amo'za vu'za Farisi mono vahete uhanati'za, Jisasi'ma hu'nea zamofo naneke ome zamasmi'naze.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 E'ina hige'za vugota pristi vahe'ene Farisi Vahe'mo'za vugota mono kanisol vahe kehutru (Sanhedrin) hu'za anage hu'naze, Ama ne'mo'a rama'a kaguvaza nehie. Na'a menina hugahune?
So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a meeting of the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? For this man is doing many signs.
48 Atresnunkeno anazanke huno Agra vaniana, maka vahe'mo'za Agrite zamentinti hanageno, Romu vahe'mo'za e'za ra mono nontine, mopatinena tarega hanaregahaze.
If we allow him to continue like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our holy place and our nation.”
49 Anante mago'zmimo, Kaiafasi'a ra mono kva (hai pristi) ana kafufina mani'nea ne'mo, anage huno zamasmi'ne, tamagra mago'za antahintahitamifina nontahize.
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You do not know anything,
50 Na'a hanigeno maka kumatine, mopatia eri havizana hugahie? Atrenkeno magoke'mo miko vahekura frisnie.
nor do you consider that it is better for us to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation perish.”
51 Kaiafasi'a agra antahi'zampinti ama kea osu'ne, hianagi ana kafufina ran mono kva (hai pristi) mani'neno, kasnampa ke huno Jisasima frino maka Jiu vahe zamaza hania zanku hu'ne,
(He said this not of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 Nehuno Jiu kuma vaheke Agra zamaza osugahie, e'inama hanuno'a hazagre'za vu'za e'za hu'naza vahera zamazeri mago hanige'za Anumzamofo mofavre manigahaze.
and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the children of God scattered abroad.)
53 E'i ana knareti erigafa hu'za, Jisasima ahe frisaza ke retro hu'naze.
So from that day they plotted together to kill him.
54 E'inama hazazanku Jisasi'a mago'ene Jiu vahe zamurera kana onte'ne. Hianagi atreno vuno mago ka'ma kokampi me'nea rankuma kaziga Efraimie nehazarega amage' nentaza naga'ane umani'naze.
Therefore Jesus no longer went around openly among the Jews. Instead, he departed from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he spent time with his disciples.
55 Menina Anumzamo Jiu vahe kinafinti zamare'nea knare (Pasova) ne'za ne kna atupa nehige'za, rama'amo'za kuma'zmi atre'za Jerusalemi mareri'za, ne'za nesagu zamagrazmi zamazeri agru huza retro hu'naze.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the countryside to purify themselves before the Passover.
56 Ana nehu'za ra mono nomofo (tempol) kumapi oti'za mani'neza Jisasinku nehakre'za, zamagra zamagra anage hu'naze. Na'ane hutma tamage'sa nentahize? Agra ama (Pasova) nezantera egahifi, omegahie?
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”
57 Anante vugota hu'naza pristi vahe'ene, Farisi vahe'mo'za, anage hu'za rama'a vahepi hu'naze, iza'o Jisasima kesimo'a, eme tasamisigeta tagra azerisune hu'naze.
(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.)
