Jaona 11
1 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray narary, dia Lazarosy avy any Betania, tanànan’ i Maria sy Marta rahavaviny.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Maria dia ilay nanosotra ny Tompo tamin’ ny menaka manitra sy namaoka ny tongony tamin’ ny volon-dohany, ary Lazarosy anadahiny no narary.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Ary izy mirahavavy dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jesosy hanao hoe: Tompoko, marary ilay tianao.
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Ary rehefa ren’ i Jesosy izany, dia hoy Izy: Tsy ho fahafatesana no anton’ izany aretina izany, fa ny hampisehoana ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra, mba hankalazana ny Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Ary Jesosy tia an’ i Marta sy ny rahavaviny ary Lazarosy.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Koa nony ren’ i Jesosy fa narary Lazarosy, dia mbola nitoetra indroa andro teo amin’ izay nitoerany ihany Izy.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Rehefa afaka izany, dia hoy Izy tamin’ ny mpianatra: Andeha isika ho any Jodia indray.
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Raby ô, vao haingana teo no nitadiavan’ ny Jiosy hitora-bato Anao, ka hankany indray va Hianao?
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jesosy namaly hoe: Tsy roa ambin’ ny folo va ny ora amin’ ny indray andro? Raha misy mandeha amin’ ny antoandro, dia tsy mba tafintohina izy, fa mahita ny fahazavan’ izao tontolo izao.
Jesus answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Fa raha misy kosa mandeha amin’ ny alina, dia ho tafintohina izay, ka tsy misy mazava ao aminy.
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Izany no nolazainy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Matory Lazarosy sakaizantsika; fa handeha hamoha azy Aho.
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12 Dia hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Tompoko, raha matory izy, dia ho tsara ihany.
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Nefa Jesosy nilaza ny fahafatesany; fa nataon’ izy ireo kosa fa fialan-tsasatra amin’ ny torimaso no nolazainy.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Ary tamin’ izany Jesosy dia nilaza tsotra taminy hoe: Maty Lazarosy;
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 ary faly Aho noho ny aminareo, satria tsy teo Aho, mba hinoanareo; fa andeha isika hankany aminy.
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Dia hoy Tomasy (izay atao hoe Didymo) tamin’ ny mpianatra namany: Andeha isika mba hiara-maty aminy.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Ary nony tonga Jesosy, dia hitany fa efa nilevina hefarana izy.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Ary Betania dia tao akaikin’ i Jerosalema, tokony ho dimy ambin’ ny folo stadio no elanelany.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Ary maro tamin’ ny Jiosy no efa tonga teo amin’ i Marta sy Maria hitsapa alahelo azy noho ny amin’ ny anadahiny.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Ary Marta, raha nandre fa tamy Jesosy, dia nandeha nitsena Azy; fa Maria kosa nitoetra tao an-trano.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Ary hoy Marta tamin’ i Jesosy: Tompoko, raha teto Hianao, dia tsy maty ny anadahiko.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Nefa fantatro fa na dia ankehitriny izao aza na inona na inona no hangatahinao amin’ Andriamanitra dia homen’ Andriamanitra Anao.
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Hitsangana ny anadahinao.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Fa hoy Marta taminy: Fantatro ihany fa hitsangana izy amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty amin’ ny andro farany;
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho no fananganana ny maty sy fiainana; izay mino Ahy, na dia maty aza, dia ho velona indray.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 Ary izay rehetra velona ka mino Ahy dia tsy ho faty mandrakizay. Mino izany va ianao? (aiōn g165)
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die in this age (aiōn g165). Do you believe this?"
27 Hoy izy taminy: Eny, Tompoko; mino aho fa Hianao no Kristy, Zanak’ Andriamanitra, Ilay ho tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao.
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy, dia lasa nandeha ka niantso mangingina an’ i Maria rahavaviny, nanao hoe: Tonga ny Mpampianatra ka miantso anao.
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Ary raha vao nandre izany Maria, dia nitsangana faingana izy ka nankeo aminy.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Fa Jesosy tsy mbola tonga tao an-tanàna, fa mbola teo amin’ ilay nitsenan’ i Marta Azy ihany.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Ary ny Jiosy izay tao amin’ i Maria tao an-trano ka nitsapa alahelo azy, raha nahita azy nitsangana faingana ka nivoaka, dia nanaraka azy, satria nataony fa nankany amin’ ny fasana hitomany any izy.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Ary Maria, rehefa tonga teo amin’ nitoeran’ i Jesosy ka nahita Azy, dia niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, raha teto Hianao, dia tsy maty ny anadahiko.
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Ary Jesosy nony nahita azy nitomany sy ny Jiosy izay niaraka taminy nitomany koa, dia vonto ny fanahiny, ka tora-kovitra Izy;
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 ary hoy Izy: Aiza moa no nandevenanareo azy? Dia hoy ireo taminy: Tompoko, andeha hizaha.
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesosy nitomany.
Jesus wept.
36 Dia hoy ny Jiosy: Akory ity haben’ ny fitiavany azy!
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Fa hoy ny sasany: Moa tsy hain’ ilehity, Izay nampahiratra ny mason’ ilay jamba va, ny manao izay tsy ho nahafaty an-dralehilahy ity?
Some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Dia vonto indray ny fanahin’ i Jesosy ka nankeo amin’ ny fasana Izy; ary zohy izany, sady nisy vato narindrina teo.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Hoy Jesosy: Esory ny vato. Hoy Marta, anabavin’ ny maty, taminy: Tompoko, maimbo izy izao, fa efa hefarana izay.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy voalazako va fa raha hino ianao, dia ho hitanao ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra?
Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Dia nesoriny ny vato. Ary Jesosy dia nanandratra ny masony ka nanao hoe: Ray ô, misaotra Anao Aho, fa efa nihaino Ahy Hianao.
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Raha Izaho, dia fantatro fa mihaino Ahy mandrakariva Hianao; fa noho ny vahoaka mitsangana manodidina no nilazako izany, mba hinoany fa Hianao no naniraka Ahy.
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 Ary rehefa nanao izany teny izany Izy, dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery hoe: Ry Lazarosy, mivoaha!
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Dia nivoaka ny maty nisy fehim-paty ny tànany sy ny tongony, sady voafehy mosara koa ny tavany. Hoy Jesosy tamin’ ny olona: Vahao izy, ka avelao handeha.
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
45 Ary maro tamin’ ny Jiosy, dia ireo nankeo amin’ i Maria ka nahita ny zavatra nataon’ i Jesosy ireo, no nino Azy.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Fa ny sasany tamin’ ireo kosa dia lasa nankany amin’ ny Fariseo ka nilaza taminy izay nataony.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo nanangona ny Synedriona ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataontsika? fa iny Lehilahy iny dia manao famantarana maro.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Raha avelantsika hanao toy izany ihany Izy, dia hino Azy avokoa ny olona rehetra; ary ho avy ny Romana ka handrava ny fonenantsika sy ny firenentsika.
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Ary ny anankiray taminy, dia Kaiafa, mpisoronabe tamin’ izany taona izany, nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo tsy mahalala na inona na inona,
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 na misaina akory fa tsara ho anareo, raha ny lehilahy iray no ho faty hamonjy ny firenena, mba tsy ho rava avokoa ity firenena ity.
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 Ary tsy niteny izany ho azy izy, fa satria mpisoronabe tamin’ izany taona izany izy, dia naminany fa Jesosy ho faty hamonjy ny firenena;
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 ary tsy hamonjy io firenena io ihany, fa mba hanangona ny zanak’ Andriamanitra izay efa niely ho antoko iray.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Koa hatramin’ izany andro izany dia nihendry hahafaty Azy ireo.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Ary Jesosy tsy nandeha niharihary teny amin’ ny Jiosy intsony; fa niala teo Izy nankany amin’ ny tany akaikin’ ny efitra, ho any an-tanàna atao hoe Efraima, ary nitoetra tany Izy mbamin’ ny mpianatra.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Ary efa akaiky ny Pasky ny Jiosy; ary maro avy tany an-tsaha no niakatra ho any Jerosalema talohan’ ny Paska mba hanadio ny tenany.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Dia nitady an’ i Jesosy ireo, raha nijanona teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly, ka niresaka hoe: Ahoana no hevitrareo? Tsy mba ho tonga amin’ ny andro firavoravoana va Izy?
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?”
57 Ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo efa nandidy fa raha misy olona mahalala izay itoerany, dia tsy maintsy milaza, mba hisamborany Azy.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
