Jaona 12
1 Ary rehefa henemana no sisa tsy tonga ny Paska, Jesosy dia tonga tao Betania, izay nitoeran’ i Lazarosy, ilay natsangany tamin’ ny maty.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.
2 Dia nanao fanasana ho an’ i Jesosy tao izy; ary Marta no nanompo; fa Lazarosy no anankiray tamin’ izay niara-nipetraka nihinana taminy.
So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.
3 Ary Maria, rehefa naka menaka manitra nisy narda sady tsara no saro-bidy, lanjan’ iray livatra, dia nanosotra ny tongotr’ i Jesosy sy namaoka ny tongony tamin’ ny volondohany; ary feno ny hanitry ny menaka ny trano.
Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.
4 Ary hoy Jodasy Iskariota, anankiray tamin’ ny mpianany, ilay efa hamadika Azy:
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,
5 Nahoana io menaka io no tsy namidy denaria telon-jato ka nomena ny malahelo?
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?
6 Ary izy no nilaza izany, tsy noho ny fiahiany ny malahelo, fa satria mpangalatra izy sady nitondra ny kitapo ka naka izay tao anatiny.
(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)
7 Dia hoy Jesosy: Avelao izy, mba hotehiriziny ho amin’ ny andro hanamboarany Ahy halevina io.
Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.
8 Fa ny malahelo dia etỳ aminareo mandrakariva; fa Izaho tsy mba ho etỳ aminareo mandrakariva.
The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
9 Ary ny vahoaka betsaka tamin’ ny Jiosy nahalala fa teo Izy, dia tonga teo, nefa tsy noho Jesosy ihany, fa mba hahita an’ i Lazarosy koa, ilay natsangany tamin’ ny maty.
Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.
10 Fa nihendry hahafaty an’ i Lazarosy koa ny lohan’ ny mpisorona,
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;
11 satria izy no nialan’ ny maro tamin’ ny Jiosy ka ninoany an’ i Jesosy.
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.
12 Ary nony ampitson’ iny ny vahoaka betsaka, izay tonga ho amin’ ny andro firavoravoana, rehefa nahare fa hankany Jerosalema Jesosy,
The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 dia naka sampan-drofia ka nivoaka hitsena Azy sady niantso hoe: Hosana! Isaorana anie ny Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, Ilay avy amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
14 Ary Jesosy nahita zana-boriky anankiray, dia nitaingina azy, araka ny voasoratra hoe:
And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,
15 Aza matahotra, ry Ziona zanakavavy; indro, avy ny Mpanjakanao mitaingina zana-boriky.
Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.
16 Izany zavatra izany dia tsy fantatry ny mpianany tamin’ ny voalohany; fa rehefa niditra tamin’ ny voninahiny Jesosy, dia vao nahatsiaro izy fa voasoratra hilaza Azy izany zavatra izany, ary efa nataony taminy izany.
(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)
17 Ary nanambara Azy ny vahoaka izay teny aminy, fony Izy niantso an’ i Lazarosy hivoaka tamin’ ny fasana ka nanangana azy tamin’ ny maty.
Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.
18 Ary izany koa no nitsenan’ ny vahoaka Azy, satria efa reny fa nanao izany famantarana izany Izy.
And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.
19 Ary tamin’ izany ny Fariseo dia nifampilaza hoe: Hitanareo fa tsy mahefa na inona na inona akory ianareo; indro, efa lasa manaraka Azy avokoa izao tontolo izao.
Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.
20 Ary nisy Grika sasany tamin’ izay niakatra hivavaka tamin’ ny andro firavoravoana,
Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:
21 ary izy ireo nankany amin’ i Filipo avy any Betsaida any Galilia, dia nangataka taminy ka nanao hoe: Tompoko, mba ta-hahita an’ i Jesosy izahay.
They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Dia lasa Filipo nilaza tamin’ i Andrea; ary Andrea sy Filipo lasa nilaza tamin’ i Jesosy.
Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.
23 Ary Jesosy namaly azy hoe: Tonga ny fotoana hankalazana ny Zanak’ olona.
And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.
24 Lazaiko aminareo marina dia marina tokoa: Raha tsy latsaka ao amin’ ny tany ny voambary ka maty, dia mitoetra foana izy; fa raha maty kosa izy, dia hahavokatra be.
Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.
25 Izay tia ny ainy no mahavery izany; fa izay mankahala ny ainy amin’ izao fiainana izao no hiaro izany ho amin’ ny fiainana mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever. (aiōnios g166)
26 Raha misy olona manompo Ahy, dia aoka izy hanaraka Ahy, ary izay itoerako, dia ao koa no hitoeran’ ny mpanompoko; raha misy olona manompo Ahy, dia hankalaza azy ny Ray.
If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.
27 Ankehitriny mangorohoro ny fanahiko; ary ahoana no holazaiko: Ray ô, vonjeo Aho ho afaka amin’ ity ora ity? nefa izao no nihaviako ho amin’ ity ora ity;
Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.
28 Ray ô, mankalazà ny anaranao. Dia nisy feo avy tany an-danitra nanao hoe: Efa nankalaza azy Aho, ary hankalaza azy indray.
Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.
29 Ary ny vahoaka izay nitsangana teo ka nahare dia nanao hoe: Kotrokorana izany. Hoy ny sasany: Anjely no niteny taminy.
Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.
30 Jesosy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy noho Izaho no nahatongavan’ izany feo izany, fa noho ianareo.
Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.
31 Tonga ankehitriny ny fitsarana izao tontolo izao; ankehitriny ny andrianan’ izao tontolo izao no horoahina.
Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.
32 Ary Izaho, raha asandratra hiala amin’ ny tany, dia hitaona ny olona rehetra hanatona Ahy.
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.
33 Izany no nolazainy hanambara izay fahafatesana efa hiaretany.
(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
34 Dia namaly Azy ny vahoaka ka nanao hoe: Efa renay tamin’ ny lalàna fa Kristy haharitra mandrakizay; koa ahoana no ilazanao hoe: Tsy maintsy hasandratra ny Zanak’ olona? Iza moa izany Zanak’ olona izany? (aiōn g165)
Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Mbola kely ihany no hitoeran’ ny mazava aminareo. Mandehana, raha mbola manana ny mazava ianareo, mba tsy hahatratra anareo ny maizina; fa izay mandeha amin’ ny maizina dia tsy mahalala izay alehany.
Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.
36 Raha mbola manana ny mazava ianareo, dia minoa ny mazava, mba ho tonga zanaky ny mazava. Rehefa nilaza izany Jesosy, dia niala Izy ka niery azy.
In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.
37 Nefa na dia efa nanao izany famantarana betsaka izany teo anatrehany aza Izy, dia tsy mba nino Azy ireo,
But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:
38 mba hahatanteraka ny teny nataon’ Isaia mpaminany hoe: Tompoko, iza no nino ny teny nampitondraina anay? Ary iza no nampisehoana ny sandrin’ i Jehovah?
So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?
39 Izany no tsy nahaizany nino, satria hoy koa Isaia:
For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,
40 Efa nanajamba ny masony sy nanamafy ny fony Izy, Mba tsy hahita ny masony, na hahalala ny fony, Dia tsy hibebaka izy, Ka tsy hahasitrana azy Aho.
He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.
41 Izany teny izany no nolazain’ Isaia, satria nahita ny voninahiny izy ka nilaza Azy.
(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)
42 Kanefa maro tamin’ ny mpanapaka aza no nino Azy; nefa noho ny Fariseo dia tsy nanaiky ireo, fandrao havoaka hiala amin’ ny synagoga.
However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:
43 Fa tia ny voninahitra avy amin’ ny olona izy ireo, fa tsy ny voninahitra avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.
44 Ary Jesosy niantso ka nanao hoe: Izay mino Ahy, dia tsy Izaho no inoany, fa Izay naniraka Ahy.
Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 Ary izay mahita Ahy dia mahita Izay naniraka Ahy.
And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.
46 Izaho tonga amin’ izao tontolo izao ho fahazavana, mba tsy hitoetra ao amin’ ny maizina izay rehetra mino Ahy.
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.
47 Ary raha misy mandre ny teniko ka tsy mitandrina, Izaho tsy mitsara azy; fa tsy tonga hitsara izao tontolo izao Aho, fa hamonjy izao tontolo izao.
And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.
48 Izay manda Ahy ka tsy mandray ny teniko, dia manana izay mitsara azy: ny teny izay nolazaiko, izany ihany no hitsara azy amin’ ny andro farany,
He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.
49 satria Izaho tsy niteny ho Ahy, fa ny Ray Izay naniraka Ahy, Izy no nandidy Ahy izay holazaiko sy izay hotoriko.
For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.
