Yokaana 12
1 Bwe waali wakyabulayo ennaku mukaaga emikolo gy’Embaga ejjuukirirwako Okuyitako gitandike, Yesu n’ajja e Besaniya ewa Laazaalo gwe yazuukiza.
Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
2 Ne bamufumbira ekyeggulo, Maliza n’aweereza, Laazaalo nga ye omu ku baali batudde ne Yesu okulya.
So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.
3 Awo Maliyamu n’addira eccupa erimu amafuta amalungi ag’akaloosa ag’omugavu, ag’omuwendo omungi, n’agafuka ku bigere bya Yesu n’abisiimuuza enviiri ze. Ennyumba yonna n’ejjula akaloosa k’amafuta ago.
Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Naye Yuda Isukalyoti, omu ku bayigirizwa ba Yesu, eyali ow’okumulyamu olukwe, n’agamba nti,
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, which should betray him, saith,
5 “Lwaki amafuta ago tegatundiddwamu eddinaali ebikumi bisatu ne zigabirwa abaavu?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Yayogera bw’atyo si lwa kuba nti yali alumirwa nnyo abaavu, wabula Lwa kubanga yali mubbi. Yatwalanga ensimbi ezaaterekebwanga mu nsawo y’ensimbi.
Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.
7 Yesu n’alyoka abagamba nti, “Omukazi mumuleke, akoze ekyo lwa kunteekerateekera kuziikibwa kwange.
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.
8 Abaavu muli nabo bulijjo, naye Nze sijja kuba nammwe bulijjo.”
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
9 Awo ekibiina kinene eky’Abayudaaya bwe bategeera nti Yesu ali Besaniya, ne bajja, si Lwa Yesu yekka, naye n’okulaba Laazaalo, Yesu gwe yazuukiza.
The common people 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 Awo bakabona abakulu ne basala amagezi okutta Laazaalo,
But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 kubanga yaleetera Abayudaaya bangi okuva ku bakulembeze baabwe ne bakkiriza Yesu.
because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Ku lunaku olwaddirira, abantu bangi abaali bazze ku mbaga ey’Okuyitako bwe baawulira nti Yesu ajja e Yerusaalemi,
On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 ne bakwata amatabi g’enkindu ne bagenda okumusisinkana nga baleekaana nti, “Ozaana.” “Aweereddwa omukisa ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.” “Ye Kabaka wa Isirayiri.”
took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.
14 Awo Yesu bwe yalaba endogoyi ento n’agyebagala. Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti,
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 “Ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni totya; laba Kabaka wo ajja, nga yeebagadde omwana gw’endogoyi.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 Ebyo abayigirizwa tebaabitegeererawo, naye Yesu bwe yamala okugulumizibwa, ne balyoka bajjukira ebintu ebyo ebyali bimuwandiikiddwako, ne bye baamukola.
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 Abo abaali mu kibiina, abaalaba Yesu ng’azuukiza Laazaalo ne baategeeza ebyaliwo ne bwe yazuukiza Laazaalo.
The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
18 Abantu abangi bwe batyo kyebaava bagenda okusisinkana Yesu, kubanga baali bawulidde ekyamagero ekyo kye yakola.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Awo Abafalisaayo ne bagambagana nti: “Mulabye bwe tutalina kye tufunyeemu! Laba ensi yonna emugoberedde.”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him.
20 Naye waaliwo Abayonaani abamu abaali bazze okusinza ku mbaga ey’Okuyitako
Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:
21 ne bajja eri Firipo eyava e Besusayida eky’omu Ggaliraaya, ne bamugamba nti, “Ssebo, twagala kulaba Yesu.”
these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Firipo n’ategeeza Andereya, ne bagenda bombi okutegeeza Yesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
23 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu agulumizibwe.
And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Ddala ddala mbagamba nti empeke y’eŋŋaano bw’egwa mu ttaka efa, bwe tefa ebeera yokka, naye bw’efa ebala ebibala bingi.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
25 Buli eyeemalira ku bulamu bwe alibufiirwa, naye oyo akyawa obulamu bwe mu nsi eno, alibusigaza mu bulamu obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Oyo ampeereza, angoberere. Nze w’endi n’omuweereza wange w’anaabeeranga era Kitange alimuwa ekitiibwa oyo ampeereza.”
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honour.
27 “Kaakano omutima gwange gweraliikiridde. Kale ŋŋambe ntya? Nsabe nti Kitange mponya ekiseera kino? Naye ate ekyandeeta kwe kuyita mu kiseera kino.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Kitange gulumiza erinnya lyo.” Awo eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu ne ligamba nti, “Ndigulumizizza era ndyongera okuligulumiza.”
Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bayimiridde awo bwe baawulira ne bagamba nti, “Laddu y’ebwatuse!” Abalala ne bagamba nti, “Malayika y’ayogedde naye.”
The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
30 Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Eddoboozi lino lizze ku lwammwe, so si ku lwange.
Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Ekiseera ky’ensi okusalirwa omusango kituuse, era omufuzi w’ensi eno anaagoberwa ebweru.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Bwe ndiwanikibwa okuva mu nsi, ndiwalulira bonna gye ndi.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
33 Ekyo yakyogera ng’ategeeza enfa gye yali anaatera okufaamu.
But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
34 Awo abantu mu kibiina ekyo ne bamugamba nti, “Ffe tumanyi okuva mu mateeka nti Kristo aba mulamu emirembe gyonna. Naye ggwe lwaki ogamba nti Omwana w’Omuntu kimugwanira okufa? Mwana wa Muntu ki oyo gw’oyogerako?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Omusana gujja kwongera okubaakira okumala akaseera. Kale mugutambuliremu mugende gye mwagala ng’ekizikiza tekinnatuuka. Atambulira mu kizikiza tamanya gy’alaga.
Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Kale Omusana nga bwe gukyayaka mugutambuliremu mulyoke mufuuke abaana b’omusana.” Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’agenda n’abeekweka.
While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Kyokka newaakubadde Yesu yakola ebyamagero bingi, tebaamukkiriza.
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 Ekigambo kya nnabbi Isaaya kituukirire ekigamba nti, “Mukama ani akkiriza bye tugamba? Ani abikkuliddwa omukono gwa Mukama?”
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Kyebaava batakkiriza kubanga nnabbi Isaaya yayongera n’agamba nti,
For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
40 “Katonda yabaziba amaaso, era n’abakakanyaza emitima, amaaso gaabwe galeme okulaba, era n’emitima gyabwe gireme okutegeera, era gireme okukyuka, mbawonye.”
He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
41 Ebyo nnabbi Isaaya yabyogera kubanga yalaba ekitiibwa kye, era n’amwogerako.
These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
42 Era waaliwo bangi ne mu bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya abaamukkiriza. Naye olw’okutya Abafalisaayo, tebaamwatula, baleme kugobebwa mu kkuŋŋaaniro.
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 Kubanga baayagala ekitiibwa ekibaweebwa abantu okusinga ekitiibwa kya Katonda.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Awo Yesu n’asitula ku ddoboozi n’agamba nti, “Buli anzikiriza aba takkiriza Nze nzekka, wabula aba akkirizza n’oyo eyantuma.
And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 N’oyo alaba Nze aba alabye oli eyantuma.
And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
46 Nze omusana nzize mu nsi buli anzikiriza aleme okusigala mu kizikiza.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
47 “Awulira ebigambo byange n’atabifaako, Nze simusalira musango, kubanga Nze najja kulokola nsi so si kugisalira musango.
And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Kyokka buli agaana Nze era n’agaana n’ebigambo byange, alina amusalira omusango. Alisalirwa omusango ku lunaku olw’enkomerero okusinziira ku bigambo bye namutegeeza.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Kubanga Nze bye njogera si byange, ku bwange, naye mbategeezezza ebya Kitange bye yandagira okubategeeza.
For I spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
