Iohannem 12
1 Iesus ergo ante sex dies Paschæ venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Iesus.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Fecerunt autem ei cœnam ibi: et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
3 Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici, pretiosi, et unxit pedes Iesu, et extersit pedes eius capillis suis: et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti.
Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis eius, Iudas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:
Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 Quare hoc unguentum non væniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?
“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea, quæ mittebantur, portabat.
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 Dixit ergo Iesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturæ meæ servet illud.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
9 Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Iudæis quia illic est: et venerunt, non propter Iesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent:
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
11 quia multi propter illum abibant ex Iudæis, et credebant in Iesum.
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 In crastinum autem turba multa, quæ venerat ad diem festum, cum audissent quia venit Iesus Ierosolymam:
On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 acceperunt ramos palmarum, et processerunt obviam ei, et clamabant: Hosanna! Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini, Rex Israel!
they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 Et invenit Iesus asellum, et sedit super eum, sicut scriptum est:
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 Noli timere filia Sion: ecce Rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinæ.
“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 Hæc non cognoverunt discipuli eius primum: sed quando glorificatus est Iesus, tunc recordati sunt quia hæc erant scripta de eo: et hæc fecerunt ei.
His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quæ erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 Propterea et obviam venit ei turba: quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Pharisæi ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos: Videtis quia nihil proficimus? Ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Erant autem quidam Gentiles ex his, qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilææ, et rogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, volumus Iesum videre.
Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreæ: Andreas rursum, et Philippus dixerunt Iesu.
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 Iesus autem respondit eis, dicens: Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit; ipsum solum manet. Si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert.
Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam: et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam æternam custodit eam. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur: et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.
If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Nunc anima mea turbata est. Et quid dicam? Pater, salvifica me ex hac hora? Sed propterea veni in horam hanc.
“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
28 Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de cælo: Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Turba ergo, quæ stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii dicebant: Angelus ei locutus est.
Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Respondit Iesus, et dixit: Non propter me hæc vox venit, sed propter vos.
Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Nunc iudicium est mundi: nunc princeps huius mundi eiicietur foras.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 Et ego si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad me ipsum.
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 (hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 Respondit ei turba: Nos audivimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in æternum: et quomodo tu dicis, Oportet exaltari Filium hominis? Quis est iste Filius hominis? (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
35 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Adhuc modicum, lumen in vobis est. Ambulate dum lucem habetis, ut non vos tenebræ comprehendant: et qui ambulant in tenebris, nescit quo vadat.
Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
36 Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Hæc locutus est Iesus: et abiit, et abscondit se ab eis.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum:
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
38 ut sermo Isaiæ prophetæ impleretur, quem dixit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? Et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias:
For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 Excæcavit oculos eorum, et induravit cor eorum: ut non videant oculis, et non intelligant corde, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
41 Hæc dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam eius, et locutus est de eo.
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum: sed propter Pharisæos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non eiicerentur.
Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
43 Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis, quam gloriam Dei.
for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44 Iesus autem clamavit, et dixit: Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum, qui misit me.
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 Et qui videt me, videt eum, qui misit me.
He who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ego lux in mundum veni: ut omnis, qui credit in me, in tenebris non maneat.
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Et si quis audierit verba mea, et non custodierit: ego non iudico eum. Non enim veni ut iudicem mundum, sed ut salvificem mundum.
If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Qui spernit me, et non accipit verba mea: habet qui iudicet eum. Sermo, quem locutus sum, ille iudicabit eum in novissimo die.
He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
49 Quia ego ex me ipso non sum locutus, sed qui misit me Pater, ipse mihi mandatum dedit quid dicam, et quid loquar.
For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
