Yohana 11
1 Basi munu mmonga lihina lya muene ajhele Lazaro alwaleghe. Ahomili Bethania, kijiji kya Mariamu ni dada jhake Martha.
Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Ajhele Mariamu jhola jhola jhaambakili Bwana Marhamu ni kumpolosya magolo gha muene kwa njuili sya muene, ambajhe ndongomunu Lazaro ajhele n'tamu.
It was Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Ndipo dada abha bhalaghisiye bhujumbe kwa Yesu ni kujobha, “Bwana, langayi jhola jha un'ganili iluala.”
The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, “Lord, see, he whom you love is sick.”
4 Yesu bho apeliki akajobha, “Bhubhine obho bhwa mauti lepi, lakini, badala jhiake ni kwandabha jha utukufu bhwa K'yara ili kwamba Mwana ghwa K'yara abhwesiayi kutukusibhwa mu Bhutamu obhu.”
When Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
5 Yesu an'ganili Martha ni dada jhiake ni Lazaro.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Bho apeliki kujha Lazaro iluala, Yesu atamili magono mabhele zaidi mahali paajhele.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
7 Ndipo baada jha ele akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, “Tulotayi Uyahudi kabhele.”
Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Bhanafunzi bhakan'jobhela, “Rabi, Bhayahudi bhajhele bhijaribu kukuponda maganga, ni bhebhe ghwilonda kukerebhuka kabhele?”
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?”
9 Yesu akabhajibu, “Saa sya pamusi si kumi na mbili? Munu paigenda pamusi ibhwesya lepi kwikungufula, kwandabha ibhona kwa munu jha pamusi.
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
10 Hata efyo, ikajhiajhi ibetakugenda pakilu, ibetakwikungufula kwa ndabha nuru ijhelepi mugati mwa muene.”
However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him.”
11 Yesu akajobha mambo agha, akabhajobhela, “Rafiki jhitu Lazaro agonili, lakini nilota ili kwamba nikabhayi kunjumusya kuhomela mu ligono.”
He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep.”
12 Ndipo bhanafunzi bhakan'jobhela, “Bwana, kama agonili, ibetakujhumuka.
The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Wakati obho Yesu ajhele ilongela habari sya kifo kya Lazaro, lakini bhene bhafikilaghe ilongela juu jha kugona lugono.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
14 Ndipo Yesu akalongela nabhu wazi wazi, “Lazaro afuili.
Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Nihobhwiki kwandabha jhinu, kujha najhelepi khola ili kwamba mkabhayi kukiera. Tubhoki kwa muene.”
I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him.”
16 Basi Tomaso, jhaakutibhu Pacha, abhajobhili bhanafunzi bhajhinu, “Natu tubhoki pia tukafuayi pamonga ni Yesu.”
Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”
17 Wakati Yesu bho ahidili, akolili kujha Lazaro tayari amalikujha mu likaburi magono mancheche.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 Ni Bethania jhajhele karibu ni Yerusalemu kama kilomita arobaini na tano naha.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Bhingi kati jha Bhayahudi bhakahida kwa Martha ni Mariamu kubhafariji kwa ndabha jha ndongo bhabhi.
Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
20 Ndipo Martha bho ap'eliki kujha Yesu ihida, akalota kubhonana naku, lakini Mariamu ajhendelili kutama kunyumba.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Ndipo Martha akan'jobhela Yesu, “Bwana, kama ngaujhi apa, kaka jhangu ngafuili lepi.
Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Hata henu, nimanyili jha kujha lyolyoha lya wibetakus'oka kuh'oma kwa K'yara, ibetakupela.”
Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
23 Yesu akan'jobhela, kaka jhakhu ibetakufufuka kabhele.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha akan'jobhela, nimanyili kujha ibetakufufuka ligono lya mwishu.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Yesu akan'jobhela, “Nene na ufufuo ni bhusima; muene jha akanikiera, ingabhwa ibetakufwa hata efyo ibetakujha itama;
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live;
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Akajobhela, “Ena, Bwana nikiera kujha bhebhe ndo Kristu, Mwana ghwa K'yara, muene jha ihida mu ulimwengu.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
28 Bho amalikujobha e'le, akabhoka ni kun'kuta dada jhake Mariamu pa lubhafu. Akajobha, “Mwalimu ajhele apa na ikukuta.”
When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 Mariamu bho ap'eliki agha ajhimuiki kwa haraka ni kulota kwa haraka ni kulota kwa Yesu.
When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Ni muene Yesu ajhele bado ahidi lepi mu kijiji, bali ajhe akona mahali pa abhonene ni Martha.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
31 Ndipo Bhayahudi bhabhajhele Mariamu mu nyumba ni bhala bhabhajhele bhikmfariji, bho bhambwene ijhinuka haraka ni kuhoma kwibhala, bhan'kesisi; bhafikirileghe ilota kulikaburi ili akalelayi okhu.
So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Ndipo Mariamu, bho afikiri pala Yesu pa ajhele ambwene na, aguili pasi pa magolo gha muene ni kun'jobhela, “Bwana, kama ngaujhele apa, ndongobhangu ngaafuili lepi.”
When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Yesu bho ambwene ilela, ni Bhayahudi bhabhahidili pamonga ni muene bhajhele bhilela pia, aombolisi kwa roho ni kufadhaika;
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and was troubled;
34 akajobha, “Mun'gonisi ndaku? bhakan'jobhela, Bwana, hidayi langayi.”
he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesu akalela.
Jesus wept.
36 Ndipo Bhayahudi bhakajobha, “Langayi kyaan'ganili Lazaro!”
Then the Jews said, “See how much he loved Lazarus!”
37 Lakini bhangi kati jha bhene bhakajobha, “Ojholepi, jhaaghafumbuili mihu gha jhola kipofu, abhwesi lepi kubhomba munu ojho asifwi?”
But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?”
38 Ndipo Yesu, hali iomboleza mu nafsi mwa muene kabhele, akalota ku likaburi. Henu lyajhele pango, ni liganda lya bhekibhu panani.
Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Yesu akajobha, “Mulibhosiajhi liganga.” Martha, dada jhake ni Lazaro, jhaafuili akan'jobhela Yesu, “Bwana, kwa muda obho, mb'ele ghwibeta kujha ubholili, kwa ndabha amalikujha maiti kwa magono mancheche.”
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, “Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for four days.”
40 Yesu akabhajobhela, “Nene nakujobhilepi jhakujha, kama ukakierayi, wibetakubhubhona utukufu ghwa K'yara?”
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 Henu bhakalibhosya liganga. Yesu akajhinula mihu gha muene kunani ni kujobha, “Dadi, nikushukuru kwa ndabha ukanip'elek'esya.
So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Nimanyili kujha ukanip'elekesya mara siyoha, lakini kwandabha jha likusanyiku ambalyo lijhemili kunisyong'oka kujha ni jobhili agha ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kuamini kujha bhebhe unilaghisi.”
I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
43 Baada jha kujobha agha, alelili kwa sauti mbaha, “Lazaro, pitayi kwibhala!”
After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mfu apitili kwibhala akongibhu mabhoko ni magolo kwa sanda sya kusyelela, ni pamihu pa muene ni kitambala.” Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mumbopolayi mkandekayi alotayi.”
The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
45 Ndipo Bhayahudi bhingi bhabhahidili kwa Mariamu ni kutola Yesu kyaabhombili, bhakankiera;
Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 lakini baadhi jha bhene bhakalota kwa Mafarisayo ni kubhajobhela mambo gha abhombili Yesu.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47 Ndipo bhabhaha bha Makuhani ni Mafarisayo bhakabhonganika pamonga mu libaraza ni kujobha, “Tubeta khetabhuli? Munu ojho ibhomba ishara simehele.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does many signs.
48 Ikajhelayi tubetakun'kiera naha muene, bhoha bhibetakun'kiera; Bharumi bhibetakuhida ni kutola fyoha mahali pa tete ni litaifa lya jhotu.”
If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Hata naha, munu mmonga kati jha bhene, Kayafa, jhaajhele kuhani mbaha mwaka obhu, akabhajobhela, “Mmanyilepi kyokyoha kabisa.
However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.
50 Mwifikirira kujha jhilondeka kwa ndabha jha muenga kujha kati jha muenga jhilondeka munu mmonga kufwa kwa ndabha jha bhanu kuliko litaifa lyoha kujhangamila.”
You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”
51 Agha aghajobhilepi kwa ndabha jha muene, badala jhiake, kwa kujha ajhele, kuhani mkuu mwaka ghola, atabiri kujha Yesu ibetakufwa kwa ndabha jha litaifa;
Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 na sio kwa litaifa liene, bali Yesu akabhayi vilevile kubhabhonganiya bhana bha K'yara ambabho bhatabhwanyiki sehemu mbalimbali.
and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
53 Henu kujhandila e'lu ni kujhendelela bhakapanga namna jha kunkoma Yesu.
So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
54 Yesu agendilepi kabhele wazi wazi pa Bhayahudi, bali akabhoka apu akalota nchi jha ijhele karibu ni jangwa pa mji ghwa Efraimu. Apu atamili ni bhanafunzi.
No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed with the disciples.
55 Basi Pasaka jha Bhayahudi jhajhele karibu, ni bhingi bhalondeghe kulota Yerusalemu kwibhala pa mji kabla jha Pasaka ili bhabhwesiayi kwitakasya bhene.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 Bhakajha bhakan'donda Yesu, ni kulongela khila mmonga pabhajhele bhajhemili mu lihekalu, “Mwifikirira kiki? Kujha ibetalepi kuhida ku sikukuu?”
They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?”
57 Wakati obhu bhabhaha bha makuhani ni Mafarisayo bhajhele bhahomisi amri kujha ikajhiayi mmonga amanyili Yesu pa ajhele, ilondeka kupisya taarifa ili kwamba bhabhwesiayi kun'kamula.
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 seize him.
