Yohana 12
1 Isikhu sita kabla ya ikhaha, u Yesu akhaluta khu Bethania, ukhyakhale u Lazaro, uyakhanchosinehe ukhuhuma khuwofye.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
2 Po vakhamwandalela ekhatio lya ekhanalyakhemikhe ukhya, nu Martha akhambombela, usekhe ugwa u Lazaro akhale paninye vavala vakhatamile pakhyakho lya paninye no Yesu.
So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
3 Po u Mariamu akhatora elati ya mafuta gago gatengenesiwe nardo enonu, yeyo yelenesamani embakha, akhabukha u Yesu mmalunde, nukhupukhuta mmalunde khunjwele ncha mwene enyumba yoni yekhadega ekharufu ya amafuta (amanukato).
Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Yuda Iskariote, yumo va vasiole vamwene, yuywa uyakheva ikhosaliti u Yesu, akhanchova,
But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
5 “Khekhi amafuta aga gakhagagonchiwe khukhela dinali mia tatu vakhavapewiwe avaganchu?”
“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
6 Vope akhaganchova ago, sio ikhova kolela ekhesa avaganchu, ulyakhova akhale indyesi: umwene veibite upakho gw khela alekotola baadhi ya vifyo vivekhiwe umwa khojili ya mwene.
Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
7 U Yesu akhanchova, “Indekhe avekhe ekhyalenakho khojili ya sikhu ya khosiela kholyone.
“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
8 Avaganchu mwiva navo isikhu nchoni; lene samukhave nune isikhu nchoni.”
The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
9 Po elipoga elivakha lya Vayahudi povakhalumanya khuta u Yesu aleukhya, navakhincha, sio khwa Yesu tuu, ila vambone u Lazaro yuywa u Yesu akhasielyule ukhukhuma khuvofye.
Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 Navope avavakha va vatekhenchi vakhedekhana ili vabude u Lazaro;
So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
11 maana khiyili ya mwene avingi Avayakhudi vakhaluta vakhamwedekha u Yesu.
for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
12 Isikhu ya vele elipoga divakha vakhincha khushelehe. Vavapolikhe ukhuta u Yesu ikhyincha kho Yerusalemu,
The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 vakhatola amatawi ga mibekhe ga matende nokhokhoma khinji ukhuluta khu khopokhela nokhotova ekelele, “Khosana! Asayiwe uyikhyincha kholitawa lya Ntwa, Umbakha va Israeli.”
They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
14 U Yesu akhapata umwa punda; kama uluyandekhiiwe,
Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
15 “Usite, ukhudyada, ng'enja Sayuni; lola, Umbakha vakho ikhwincha, etogile emwana- punda.”
“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
16 Avasiole vamwene savakhageliwe ago pavotengolelo; u Yesu avile aginiwe, bakhopo povakhakombokha imbombo inchi akhasimba umwene nokhota vavombile imbombo inchi khomwene.
At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
17 Po lela elipoga lya vanu vavo vakhale popaninye nu Yesu vova mwelangile u Lazaro ukhuma ndipomba, vakholola khuvange.
Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
18 Po yekhale khosababu eye ukhuta elipoga lya vanu vakhalotile khukho pokhela khusababu vakhapolikhe ukhuta akhavombile eishara eyo.
That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
19 Avamafarisayo vakhonchovana vavo kho vavo, “Lola, leno samukhawesye ukhuvomba khokhoni; lola, ekhelunga khelutile khumwene.”
Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
20 Po avange avayunani vakhale miongoni mwa vala avakhale valekolota khu khesaya khu shelekhe.
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Ava vakhandotela u Filipo, yuywa akhomile kho Bethsaida ya Galilaya, vakhadava vakhanchova, “Intwa, ufye twinogwa akhombona u Yesu.”
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 U Filipo akhalota akhombola u Andrea; u Andrea nu Filipo vakhalota nokhombola u Yesu.
Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
23 U Yesu akhanda, akhanchova, lene yefikhe khojili ya mwana va Adamu ukhuginiwa.
But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Ninchova, ninchova, nikhovavola, epunje ya ngano yegasite ukhugwa ikelunga yakhafya, yitama ekhali yela yela yene, po yengafye, yikhala isekhe imbakha.
Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Umwene uyavoganile uwomi wa mwene ikhovoyancha; khoba uyikalala uwomi wa mwene ikelunga uma ikheponya khata uwomi wa sikhu nchoni. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Umunu yoyoni uyikhombombela une, ang'onge; uponelepo une, po nayosukhya vango ivapwale. Umunu yeyoni uyakheva ikhombombela, udada ikhoginya.
If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
27 Leno inumbula yango yesikhitikhe na yone nenchove ndakhekhi'? 'Dada, unyokhole isaliinchi'? Khulugano ulu nefikhe isainchi.
Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
28 Daada, leginiwe elitawa lyakho.” Po esawoti yekhencha ukhuma khokyanya nokhonchova, neligininche nayone nikhdeginya khange.”
Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
29 Po lipoga elekhemile jilani navope vakha polekha, vakhanchova vakhata, khuvile numwongulumo. Avange vakhanchova, “Usukhwa inchova nave.”
The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
30 U Yesu akhanda akhanchova, esawoti eye sayekhinche kholyone, bali kholyomwe.
In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
31 Leno uvokhegi wa khelonga ekhe khovole: Umbakha va khelunga ekhe itagiwa khonji.
Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 Nayone nengotojiwe khokyanya ikhelonga, nikhovakwega voni kholyone.”
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
33 Akhanchova ago akhavonesya wofye wokhi uvoyakheva ifya.
He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
34 Elipoga lekhanda, “Ufye topolikhe ululagele ukhuta u Klisiti itama khata isikhu nchoni. Nayove wita ndakhekhi, 'Umwana va Adamu lazima inoliwe khokyanya'? Uyu Umwana va munu veni?” (aiōn g165)
The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
35 Po u Yesu akhavavola, ulumuli lungave popaninye numwe usekhe idebe. Mulutage ulukhova mule nulumuli, ekhisi yiwesya yevibate. Uyilota mukhisi salumanyile ukhyilota.
Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Ulyakhova mnchige nulumuli, mulyedekhe ulumuli ulya mpate ukhova vana va lumuli.” U Yesu akhanchova ago po akhaluta akhefikha vasite ukhumbona.
While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
37 Ulyakhova u Yesu avombile amambo mingi khovolongolo khovene, bado savakha mwedekhe
Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
38 ili letimele elimenyu lyanyamalago u Isaya, elyakhonchovile: “Intwa, veni uyanchipolikhe ikhabali ncheto? Nekhevokho khantwa afunuliwe veni?”
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Ndiomana avene savakhamwedekhe ulyakhova u Isaya akhanchovile khange,
For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
40 “Avabudile amikho, ayevikhile ngafu inumbula yavene; vasite ukhulola khomikho gavene navakhalumanya khunumbula ncha vene, ayavikhwokhokha na yone nikhovaponya.”
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
41 U Isaya akhanchova amamenyu ago ulya khova akhavowene uvovakha wa Yesu nakhanchova ikhabari ncha mwene.
Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
42 Ulyakhova, ata avavakha vingi vakhamwedikhe u Yesu; ulyakhova Avamafarisayo, savakhedekhe ukhuta ayavitengiwa na avamasinagogi.
Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
43 Vakhanogile uluginyo ulya vanu khulikho uluginyo ulolukhomana nu Ngoluve.
For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
44 U Yesu akhatoncha esawati no khonchova, “Yuywa ikhonyedekha une, sikhonyedekha une tuu bali nayoywa akhasukhile une,
Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
45 navope uyikhombona une ikhombona yuywa asukhile.
And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
46 Une ninchile kama lumuli ikelunga ili khela munu uyikhonyedekha une asite ukhutama mkhisi.
I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
47 Ingave umu yeyoni ikhogapolekha amamenyu gango lakini asite ukhugibata, une sanikhon'gega; maana sanekhinche ili nekhege ekhelunga, bali nevokhole avakelunga.
As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Yuywa ikhobela une nayoywa sikhyedekha amamenyu gango, nayoywa ikhongega: elimenyu ilyo lelyo nenchovile lyulyene lelangega esikhu ya mwisyo.
There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Une sanekhenchove khunumbula yango tuu. Ve Dada uyakhan'gelikhe yuywa umwene andaginche aga yakheva ninchova.
I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
