Johani 12
1 Mazuba amana iyanza ni limwina habusu bwa Mukiti we Paseka, Jesu abezi kwa Betania, kwabali kuhala Lazaro, yababuswa kwali kubafwile.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.
2 Chobulyo nibamutendela mulalilo kwateni, mi Mareta njabali kuha zilyo, kono Lazaro ibali njizumwi yabena nabana babena ni Jesu hetafula.
So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him.
3 Linu Maria nichahinda ilita yebotela yamafuta adula anuka nenza, ni kuetila hamatende a Jesu, ni kuasinda ni suki zakwe. Inzubo niyezula mununko mulotulotu wamafuta anunka nenza.
Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Judasi Isikariota, zumwi wabarutwana bakwe, yeti namubeteke, nati,
[But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
5 “Chinzi aa mafuta hasana abawuzwa madola achita myanda yotatwe ni kuha kubahumanehi?
Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
6 Abali kuwamba bulyo, isiñi kuti abali kufwila bahumanehi inse, nata, kono ibaka lakuti ibali musa: njabakweta chikwama chamasheleñi mi abalikwiba chibabikwa mwateni.
Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
7 Jesu abati, “Mumuzuminine kuti abikile chakwete izuba lyangu lyekepelo.
Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
8 Kamubakubile ni bahumanehi inako yonse, kono ime keti nimubekubile name inako yonse”.
For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
9 Mweyonako ikunga ikando la Majuda nilyeziba kuti Jesu kwabena, mi babezi, isiñi kukezila Jesu bulyo, kono ni kwiza kubona Lazaro bulyo, ili yababusi Jesu kubafwile.
The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.
10 Baprisita bakulwana ni chibazumizana hamwina chamulelo wakwihaya Lazaro naye;
But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
11 mukuti ibali chebaka lyakwe Majuda hababazwi chabungi ni kukazumina kwa Jesu.
because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.
12 Halizwa ikunga ikando nilyakeza ku Mukiti we Paseka. Linu habazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite kwa Jerusalema,
On the morrow, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
13 nibahinda mitavi yenzalu ni kuyenda kukamukatanyeza, ni kuhuweleza, “Hosanna! Yotohonolofezwe kwa Ireeza njozuna yokeza mwizina la Simwine, Simwine Mukulwana wa Isilaele.”
took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, —even the King of Israel!
14 Jesu abawani mwana wedonki mi natanta haili; sina mukubañolezwi,
And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
15 “Musiyemutiyi, inwe mubantu ba Zion, Simwine wenu Mukulwana ukezite, natantite hamwana wedonki.”
Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass.
16 Barutwana bakwe kanababazuwisi izi zintu kumatangilo; kono inako yahewa mata akubuka kubafu, nibahupula kuti izi zintu zibañoleltwe chebaka lyakwe ni kuti babatendi izi zintu kwali.
These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done unto him.
17 Lyahanu ikunga libena naye inako yasupa Lazaro kuzwa mwikumbu imi abamubusi kuzwa kubafwile, ibabi bupaki.
The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.
18 Ibali chelyo ibaka ikunga liba zwili kwateni kukamukatanyeza mukuti babazuwi kuti njiye yabatendi iyi makazo.
On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign.
19 Chobulyo Bafalisi ni chibawambinsena mukati kabo, “Hamubone, kakwina chimuwola kutenda, mubwene, chisi chose chimwichilile.”
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
20 Magerike bamwi mweyonako babena mukati kwabana babali kuya kukulapela munako yamukiti.
Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast.
21 Aba bantu babayi kwa Filipi, yabali kuzwa kwa Betsaida mwa Galilea, babamubuzi, nibati, “Fumwetu, tusaka kubona Jesu.”
These, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, —and were requesting him, saying—Sir! We desire to see, Jesus.
22 Filipi abayendi kukawambila Andreasi; Andreasi abayendi ni Filipi, mi nibakawambila Jesu.
Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus.
23 Jesu nabetaba nati, “Ihola chiyasika yakuti Mwana Muntu abe hamazimo makando akububekwa.
But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified!
24 Ikumbya lineline, nimiwambila, uluhaiba luheke lwamundale ni luwila mwibu ni kufwa, kalushale lolona mbona bobulyo; kono haiba nilufwa, kalubike zichelantu zingi.
Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
25 Iye mwine yosuni buhalo bwakwe mwabuluze; kono iye mwine yohinda buhalo bwabamwi batu kuti bwabutokwa kuhita buhalo bwakwe iye mwine kahale ni Ireeza kuyakuile. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. (aiōnios g166)
26 Haiba muntu unisebeleza, mumusiye anichilile; henikele kwiwulu, ni muhikana wangu kabe kwateni naye. Haiba muntu unisebeleza, Tayo mwamuhe itompo.
If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
27 Lyahanu luhuho lwangu lukatazehete: Ketinilapele? 'Tayo, unihune mweyinu ihola'? “Kono njilona ibaka ili, hanibezi kuti zenitakisiwe.
Now, is my soul troubled, —and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!
28 Tayo, utumise kububana kwako.” Linu linzwi ni lyazwa kwiwulu mi nilyati, “Nibalitumisi kale, mi kanilitumise hape.”
There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven—I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Linu ikunga libazimene habumbali ni kulizuwa ni lyati kuti invula yapalakata. Bamwi nibati, “Ingeloi libali kuwambi kwali.”
[So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying—It hath, thundered. Others, were saying—A messenger, unto him, hath spoken.
30 Jesu abetabi nati, “Ili linzwi kanalibezi kwangu, kono kwenu.
Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
31 Hanu chilinako yakuti chinu chisi chiatulwe: Hanu chili inako yakuti ninisinyesinye mata a Satani yobusa chihanu chinsi.
Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
32 Imi Ime, heti bantu kabaninyamwine mwiwulu hachifapano, kanikwitile zumwi ni zumwi kwangu.”
And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
33 Abawambi bulyo kutondeza kuti mufutazi wefu lyeti nafwe.
But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
34 Ikunga libamwitabi, “Tubazuwi kuzwa kumulao kuti Jesu kekalile kuyakwile. Kwiza buti kuti uwambe, 'Mwana Muntu utameha kuhazikwa hachifapano'? Njeni uzu Mwana Muntu yowamba zakwe?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn g165)
35 Jesu linu chati kubali, “Iseli kalibe kubile nanwe chenakozana ifwihi. Muyende hamuchina iseli, kokuti ififi sanzilimihitilili. Iye yoyenda mulififi kaboni kwakaya.
Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
36 Inako yimwina name, muzumine kumanzwi angu initi ya Ireeza kayibe nanwe.” Jesu abawambi izi zintu mi kuzwahateni naliyendela ni kukaliwungula kuzwa kubali.
While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
37 Nihakuba kuti Jesu abatendi imakazo zingizingi habusu bwabo, nihakubabulyo kanababazumini kwali.
And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him: —
38 Kokuti inzwi lamutanikizi Isaya lizuzilizwe, ili umo abati: “Simwine, njeni yabazumini kwiñusa lyetu? Mi iyanza lya Simwine libeziwahaza kwani?
that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
39 Cheli ibaka kanababali kuwola kuzumina, mukuti Isaya naye abati,
On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
40 “Abatendi menso abo kuba buhofu, ni kuzumiza inkulo zabo; chenzila yimwi nibabawoli kubona ni menso abo ni kuzuwisisa ni nkulo zabo, ni kusanduka, imi ninibabahozi”
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn, —and I should heal them.
41 Isaya abawambi izi zintu mukuti ababoni ikanya ya Jesu imi abawambi kazakwe.
These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Kono nihakwinabulyo, bungi bwababusi babazumini kwa Jesu; kono chebabakala Bafalisi, kanababali kuzumina kweyo indaba kokuti sanzibakanisi kunjila mwisinagoge.
Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
43 Babalikusaka kutembwa kubantu kuhita kutembwa kuzwa kwa Ireeza.
for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
44 Jesu nahuweleza nati: “Yozumina kwangu, kazumini bulyo kwangu kono uzumina bulyo ni kwali zonitumite,
And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said—He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me;
45 imi uzoyonibwene ubwene bulyo ni yonitumite.
And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.
46 Nibezi kuchisi ninili niseli kukuti yense yozumina kwangu sanzi nashali mulififi.
I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
47 Haiba muntu zuhi no zuhi uzuwa manzwi angu kono kaabiki, kanimuatuli; mukuti kananibezili kuatula chisi, kono kwiza kuhaza chisi.
And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 Iye yonikana ni yasazumini manzwi angu wina yomuatula: kaibe nji inzwi linibawambi letinilimuatule izuba lamamanimani.
He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day.
49 Mukuti kananibawambi kazangu, kono njiza Tayo yabanitumi, yabanihi itaelo kuamana ni chiniswanela kuwamba ni chiniswanela kuluta.
Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 Nizi kuti itaelo yakwe ileta buhalo busena mamaninizo, chobulyo checho chiniwamba - bobulyo fela sina Tayo mwabawambili kwangu, bobulyo name muniwambila.” (aiōnios g166)
And I know that, his commandment, is, life age-abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak. (aiōnios g166)
