Iohannem 12
1 Iesus ergo ante sex dies Paschae venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Iesus.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead, was.
2 Fecerunt autem ei coenam ibi: et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
So they made him a dinner there, and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of those who was lying down at the table with Jesus.
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.
Then Mary took a litra of perfume made of very precious pure nard, anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis eius, Iudas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:
Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who would betray him, said,
5 Quare hoc unguentum non vaeniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?
“Why was this perfume not 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, quae mittebantur, portabat.
Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He had the moneybag and would steal from what was put in it.
7 Dixit ergo Iesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturae meae servet illud.
Jesus said, “Allow her to keep what she has for the day of my burial.
8 Pauperes enim semper habebitis vobiscum: me autem non semper habebitis.
You will always have the poor with you. But you will not always have me.”
9 Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Iudaeis quia illic est: et venerunt, non propter Iesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
Now a large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, and they came, not only for Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
10 Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent:
The chief priests conspired together so that they might also put Lazarus to death;
11 quia multi propter illum abibant ex Iudaeis, et credebant in Iesum.
for it was because of him that many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 In crastinum autem turba multa, quae venerat ad diem festum, cum audissent quia venit Iesus Ierosolymam:
On the next day a great crowd came to the festival. 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 found a young donkey and sat on it; as it was written,
15 Noli timere filia Sion: ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinae.
“Do not fear, daughter of Zion; see, your King is coming, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
16 Haec non cognoverunt discipuli eius primum: sed quando glorificatus est Iesus, tunc recordati sunt quia haec erant scripta de eo: et haec fecerunt ei.
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
17 Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quae erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
Now the crowd testified that they had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him up from the dead.
18 Propterea et obviam venit ei turba: quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
It was also for this reason that the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Pharisaei ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos: Videtis quia nihil proficimus? ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “Look, you can do nothing; see, the world has gone after him.”
20 Erant autem quidam Gentiles ex his, qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
Now certain Greeks were among those who were going up to worship at the festival.
21 Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilaeae, et rogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, volumus Iesum videre.
These went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreae: Andreas rursum, et Philippus dixerunt Iesu.
Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 Iesus autem respondit eis, dicens: Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
Jesus answered them and said, “The hour 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.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it will bear much fruit.
25 Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam: et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it; but he who hates his life in this world will keep it for 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; and where I am, there will my servant 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 and what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.
28 Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de caelo dicens: Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven and said, “I have glorified it and I will glorify it again.”
29 Turba ergo, quae stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii autem dicebant: Angelus ei locutus est.
Then the crowd that 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 haec vox venit, sed propter vos.
Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come for me, but for you.
31 Nunc iudicium est mundi: nunc princeps huius mundi eiicietur foras.
Now is the judgment of this world: Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
32 Et ego si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.”
33 (hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
He said this to indicate what kind of death he would die.
34 Respondit ei turba: Nos audivimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in aeternum: et quomodo tu dicis, Oportet exaltari Filium hominis? Et quis est iste Filius hominis? (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will stay forever. How can 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 tenebrae comprehendant: et qui ambulat in tenebris, nescit quo vadat.
Jesus then said to them, “The light will still be with you for a short amount of time. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Haec locutus est Iesus: et abiit, et abscondit se ab eis.
While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may be sons of light.” Jesus said these things and then departed and hid from them.
37 Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum:
Although Jesus had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him
38 ut sermo Isaiae impleretur, quem dixit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, in which he said: “Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias:
For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah had also said,
40 Excaecavit 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 has hardened their hearts; otherwise they would see with their eyes and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
41 Haec dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam eius, et locutus est de eo.
Isaiah said these things because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke of him.
42 Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum: sed propter Pharisaeos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non eiicerentur.
But despite that, many of the rulers believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees, they did not admit it so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.
43 dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis, quam gloriam Dei.
They loved the praise that comes from people more than the praise that comes from God.
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, “The one who believes in me, believes not only in me but also in him who sent me,
45 Et qui videt me, videt eum, qui misit me.
and the one 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, so 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 hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I have not come 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.
The one who rejects me and who does not receive my words, has one who judges him. The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Quia ego ex meipso non sum locutus, sed qui misit me Pater, ipse mihi mandatum dedit quid dicam, et quid loquar.
For I did not speak for myself, but it is the Father who sent me, who has given me the command about what to say and what to speak.
