Johani 11
1 Linu mukwame zumwi yabali kusumpwa chezina lya Lazaro yabali kulwala. yaba kuzwa mwa Betenia, mumunzi mwabali kwikala Maria ni mukulwe Mareta.
Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 nji Maria yaba singi Simwine mafuta esende ni kumupemula kumatende ninsuki zakwe, imi Lazaro yabali kulwala ibala nchizyakwe.
It was Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Linu banchizyakwe nichibatumina iñusa kwa Jesu, nibacho, “Simwine, bone, iye yosaka ahulu ulwala.”
The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, “Lord, see, he whom you love is sick.”
4 Linu Jesu hazuwa bulyo, nati, Uku kulwala kahena kufwa, kono bwakubonisa maata a Simwine chobulyo nimwana wa Ireeza uswanela kulumbekwa kachibatendahali.”
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 Linu Jesu abali kusaka ahulu Mareta ni mwanchakwe ni Lazaro bulyo.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Chobulyo hazuwa kulwala kwa Lazaro, Jesu abekali mazuba amwi obele muchibaka mwabekele.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
7 Linu hakumana bulyo, Chowamba kuba rutwana bakwe, “Twende tuye kwa Judea hape.”
Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Barutwana chibawamba kwali, “Muruti, munako inu Majuda basaka kukugobola nimabwe, linu iwe usaka kubola kwateni hape?”
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?”
9 Jesu nichati, kahena kuti inhola zitenda ikumi ni obele eseli mwizuba? Linu zumwi muntu hayenda musihali, keti aholofale kapa kusitatala kakuti ubwene mwahitite cha liseli lyefasi.
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 Nihakuba bulyo, hayenda masiku, mwasitatale kakuli iseli kalina mwali.”
However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him.”
11 Nichawamba izi zintu, linu hamana izo zintu, nichabawambila, “Mulikanetu Lazaro chalala, kono nikaya ili kuti nikamubuse.”
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 Barutwana linu chibawamba kwali, “Simwine, haiba ulele, mwabe nenza.”
The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Linu Jesu chabataluseza kuamana niifu, Chobulyo abo babali kuhupula kuti uwamba iñonzi zakulikatulusa.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
14 Linu Jesu nichabataluseza, “Lazaru ufwile.
Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Nisangite, kebaka lyenu, kuti kana nibena kwateni kokuti nimubazumini. Twende kwali.”
I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him.”
16 Tomasi yaba kunsumpwa Didima, chawamba ku Barutwana, “Tuyende naswe tukafwe ni Jesu.”
Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”
17 Linu Jesu hakeza, neza kuwana kuti Lazaro chowina kale mwikumbu chamazuba onee.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 Linu Betania ibena hembali ni Jerusalema, kazibima zotatwe.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Bungi bwa Majuda babali kwiza kwa Mareta ni Maria, kubaombaomba kuamana ni nchinzabo.
Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
20 Linu Mareta, hazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite, nichibaka mukatanyeza, cobulyo Maria abekele munzubo.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Mareta linu chawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, kapa kobena kunu, nchizyangu nasena bafwi.
Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Nangati hanu, nizi kuti chimwi nichimwi chokumbila kwa Ireeza, mwakuhe.”
Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
23 Jesu chawamba kwali, “Nchizyako mwabuke hape.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Mareta chawamba kwali, “Nizi kuti mwabuke hape he henzuho luzuba lwamamani mani.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jesu chawamba kwali, “Njeme ni nzuho ni buhalo; yense yozumina kwangu, niha fwa, mwa hale;
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 Nichawamba kwali, “Ee, Nfumwangu, nizumina kuti njewe Kreste, mwana we Ireeza, yokezite mwi nkanda.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
28 Hamana kuwamba izi, chozwa mwateni nikusumpa mwanchakwe Maria kakuli ungula. chamuwambila, “Muruti chasika mi ukusumpa.”
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 Linu hazuwa bulyo, chonyamuka kapili nikuya kwali.
When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Linu Jesu kanabeni kusika mumunzi abali kusina kuchibaka kwaba kamukatanyezi Mareta.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
31 Imi Majuda, babena naye mwinzubo babali kumuomba omba nibabona Maria hanyamuka kapili pili kuzwila hanze, chiba mwichilila, kuhupula kuti chokaya kwikumbu aka siliseze kwateni.
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 Linu Maria, hakeza kwabekele Jesu imi namubona, chowila hamatende akwe ni kumuwambila, “Simwine, kapa kobena kunu, nchinzyangu nasena abafwi,”
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 Linu Jesu chamubona nasilisa, imi ni Mujuda wakeza naye chokwete usilisa,
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 chabahinditwe muluhuho lwakwe mi abali kubilela; chawamba, “Mubamulaziki kuhi?” Niba mwitaba, “Nfumwangu, wize zo bone.”
he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesu nasilisa.
Jesus wept.
36 Linu Majuda cibawamba, Mubone mwaba kusakila Lazaru!”
Then the Jews said, “See how much he loved Lazarus!”
37 Imi bamwi chibawamba, “Kanjiyena uzu mukwame, yabeyaluli menso amukwame wamuhofu, hape ibaleti kuti uzu mukwame kuti afwe?”
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 Linu Jesu hape, nalizuwa kutomoha inkulo hape, nayenda kwikumbu. linu chibali ilindi, imi ibwe libatulitwe hateni.
Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesu nati, “Muzwise hateni ibwe.” Mareta, nchinzye wa Lazaro, iye yofwile, nawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, cheinu inako chitupu chichinunka, kakuti chikwahinda mazuba onee kuzwa habafwili.”
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 Linu Jesu nati kwali, Naa kana nibakuwambili kuti, heba uzumina, mokabone mubuso wa Ireeza?”
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 Linu chibazwisa ibwe hekumbu. Jesu nakatula menso akwe kulola kwiulu imi nati, “Tate, Nilitumela kakuti wateka kwangu.
So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Nizi kuti utekanga kwangu inako yonse, kono niwamba bulyo kebaka lyekunga linizimbulukite kunibika mukati, ili kuti bazumine kuti ubanitumi.”
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 Chobulyo nawamba buti, nahuweleza chalizwi lizuweka ahulu, “Lazaro, wize hanze!”
After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mukwame yabafwile nazwa mwikumbu; matende akwe nimayanza abali kuzingeletwe masila. Jesu nawamba kubali, “Mumusumunune imi mumusiye ayende.”
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 Linu bungi bwa Majuda babakezi kwa Maria imi nibabona zabatendi Jesu, niba zumina kwali,
Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 kono bamwi mukati kabo chibayenda ku Bafalisi imi chibakawamba zabatendi Jesu.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47 Cwale mapurita bakulwana ni Bafalisi chibakopanya inkuta hamwina imi nibawamba, “Mutupange chihi? Uzu mukwame upanga imakazo zingi.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does many signs.
48 heba mutumusiye yenke sina buti, bonse mubazumine kwali; Maroma mubatunyange minzi yetu yonse ni nkanda yetu.”
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 Nihakuba bulyo, zumwi mukwame mukati kabo, Kayafa, yabali muprisita mukulwana mwecho chilimo, nati kubali, “Kakwina chimwizi.
However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.
50 Kamubwene kuti kulotu nibutuka kuti mukwame yenke afwile chichaba kundeye kuti inkanda yonse imaniswe.”
You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”
51 Lyahanu izi zawamba kazizwi kwali mwine. kono, kakuti abali muprisita mukulwana icho chilimo, aba polofiti kuti Jesu mwafwile inkanda;
Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 kono isini inkanda bulyo imi kono kuti bana ba Ireeza bahasene bekale hamwina kalusika lonke.
and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
53 Linu kuzwa ulo luzuba niba zuminzana mwete behaile Jesu.
So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
54 Kelyo ibaka Jesu nasiya kuyenda mukati ka Majuda nibamubwene, imi chozwa mweyo inkanda nikuya mwihalaupa mumuleneñi wa Efraimi. Uko abakekali ni barutwana.
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 Lyahanu i Paseka ya Majuda chibena hafuhi, imi bungi bwabo nibaya mwa Jerusalema kuzwa mwinkanda i Paseka niseni kusika kuti bakalijoloze abo bene.
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 Babali kukabulola Jesu, imi nibena mwi Tempele nibakwete balibuza buza, “Muhupula bule? Na sanzi akezi kumukiti?”
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 Linu muprisita mukulwana ni Bafalisi niba hewa mulao kuti haiba kwina yowizi kwena Jesu, uswanela kuwamba ili kuti bamukwate.
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.
