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, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as 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.
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Ana nanunkna'moke Jisasintega kea atrenteke, anage hu'na'e, Ramoka antahio, Kagrama avesima nentamo'a kri eri'ne.
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus — ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
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.
and, when Jesus heard it, he said: “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honour of God, in order that the Son of God may be honoured through it.”
5 Jisasi'a Matane nenunknane, Lasarusine avesizamante'ne.
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Hianagi Lasarusi kri eri'ne nanekema hazageno nentahino'a, tare zage'gna anama mani'nea kumate mani'ne.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Ana huteno amage'nentaza disaipol nagaku huno, Judia kaziga ete vanune huno zamasmi'ne.
Then, after that, he said to his 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?
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you 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.
“Are not there twelve hours in the day?” answered Jesus. “If a man walks about in the day-time, he does not stumble, because he can see the light of the sun;
10 Hu'neanagi mago'mo hanimpima vanuno'a ome traka hugahie, na'ankure masa agripina omne'ne.
but, if he walks about at night, he stumbles, because he has not the light.”
11 Anagema huteno, mago'ene Jisasi'a anage hu'ne, Ronetimo Lasarusi'a avu mase'ne, hianagi menina Nagra ome azeri otigahue.
And, when he had said this, he added: “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going that I may wake him.”
12 Hige'za amage'nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za anage hu'naze, Ramoka, agra avu'ma mase'nesuno'a, knare hugahie.
“If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
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.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 Jisasi'a anante huama huno zamasmi'ne, Lasarusi'a ko fri'ne,
Then he said to them plainly: “Lazarus is dead;
15 Tamagri tamaza hanigu Nagra muse nehu'na, ana kumatera omani'noe, e'ina hanigeta tamagra tamentinti hugahaze. Hianagi erinketa agritega vamneno.
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. 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.
At this, Thomas, who was called ‘The Twin,’ 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 reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 Betani kumara Jerusalemi tava'onte 3 kilo mitanaza me'ne.
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 Rama'a Jiu vahe'mo'za e'za Matane Maria kiznia, neznasaro fri'negeza e'za zname rentinti hu'naze.
a number of the Jews had come there to condole with Martha and Mary on their brother’s death.
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 sat quietly at home.
21 Mata'a, Jisasina ome keno anage huno asmi'ne, Ramoka, Kagrama amafima mani'nantesina, nensaro Lasarusi'a ofrisine.
“Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you 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.
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
23 Jisasi'a kenona huno asmi'ne, Negsaro Lasarusi'a ete otino asimu erigahie.
“Your brother shall rise to life,” said Jesus.
24 Mata'a amanage huno Jisasina asmi'ne, Nagra antahi'noe, henkama otisaza zupa vagare knarera, agra otino asimu erigahie.
“I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at 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.
“I am the Resurrection and the Life,” said Jesus. “He that believes in me shall live, though he die;
26 Maka vahe'mo'za mani'neza Nagrite zamentinti hanazana, ofri'tfa hugahaze. Amama nehua kegura kagra kamentintia nehampi? (aiōn g165)
and he who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you 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.
“Yes Master,” she answered; “I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, ‘who was 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, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered: “The Teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 ana kema nentahino'a, ame' huno otino Jisasinte vu'ne.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 Jisasi'a ana kumapina uofreno, kantega Matama omege'nere mani'negeno, Maria'a emege'ne.
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at 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.
So the Jews, who were in the house with Mary, condoling with her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was 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 where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. “Master,” she exclaimed, “if you 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 weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 Jisasi'a zamantahigeno, Inantega ana nera asente'naze? Zamagra kenona hu'za Agrira asmi'naze, Ramoka enka emego.
“Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
35 Hazageno Jisasi'a zavi' ate'ne.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Zamasuma ragiku'ma e'naza Jiu vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, Keho agrira tusi'za huno avesinte'ne!
“How he must have loved him!” the Jews exclaimed;
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 this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus 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.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of 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.
“Move the stone away,” said Jesus. “Master,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.”
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?
“Did not I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should 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 moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said: “Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard my prayer;
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 thou always hearest me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.”
43 Jisasi'a anagema huteno'a, kezatino Lasarusiga, atiraminka eno!
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in 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.
The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “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.
In consequence of this, many of the Jews, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, learned to believe in him.
46 Hianagi mago'amo'za vu'za Farisi mono vahete uhanati'za, Jisasi'ma hu'nea zamofo naneke ome zamasmi'naze.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he 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?
Upon this the Chief Priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said: “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so 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 let him alone as we are doing, every one will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our City and our Nationality.”
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.
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them:
50 Na'a hanigeno maka kumatine, mopatia eri havizana hugahie? Atrenkeno magoke'mo miko vahekura frisnie.
“You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”
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,
Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as High Priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was 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 for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the Children of God now scattered far and wide.
53 E'i ana knareti erigafa hu'za, Jisasima ahe frisaza ke retro hu'naze.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
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.
In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the Jews any more, but left that neighbourhood, and went into the country bordering on the Wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed 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.
But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their ‘purification,’ before the Festival began.
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?
So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts: “What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?”
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.
The Chief Priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if any one learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
