Hoani 11
1 Na kei te mate tetahi tangata, a Raharuhi o Petani, te kainga o Meri raua ko tona tuakana, ko Mata.
Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Ko taua Meri tenei nana nei i whakawahi te Ariki ki te hinu, i muru hoki i ona waewae ki ona makawe; a he tungane nona a Raharuhi i mate nei.
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Na ka tono tangata nga tuahine ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, tenei kei te mate tau tangata e aroha nei.
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – “Master, your friend is ill”;
4 I te rongonga ia o Ihu, ka mea ia, Ehara tenei i te mate e mate rawa ai ia, engari hei mea mo te kororia o te Atua; ma tenei hoki ka whai kororia ai te Tama a te Atua.
and, when Jesus heard it, he said, ‘This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honour of God, in order that the Son of God may be honoured through it.’
5 Na i aroha a Ihu ki a Mata raua ko tona teina, ki a Raharuhi hoki.
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 A, no ka rongo ia ki tona matenga, e rua ona ra i noho ai ki taua wahi ra ano.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Muri iho i tenei ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Tatou ka haere ano ki Huria.
Then, after that, he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go to Judea again.’
8 Ka mea nga akonga ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, i whai nga Hurai i mua tata ake nei kia akina koe ki te kohatu; a e haere atu ana koe ki reira?
‘Rabbi,’ they replied, ‘the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?’
9 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, He teka ianei tekau ma rua nga haora o te ra? Ki te haere tetahi i te awatea, e kore ia e tutuki, no te mea e kite ana ia i te marama o tenei ao.
‘Are not there twelve hours in the day?’ answered Jesus. ‘If someone walks about in the daytime, they don’t stumble, because they can see the light of the sun;
10 Tena ka haere tetahi i te po, ka tutuki ia, no te mea kahore he marama i roto i a ia.
but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.’
11 Ka korerotia enei mea e ia: na, muri iho ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kei te moe to tatou hoa a Raharuhi; otiia ka haere ahau ki te whakaara i a ia i te moe.
And, when he had said this, he added, ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may wake him.’
12 Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga, E te Ariki, ki te mea kei te moe ia, tera ia e ora.
‘If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,’ said the disciples.
13 Kahore, ko tona matenga ta Ihu i korero ai: ko ratou ia i mahara, i korero ia mo te takotoranga ina moe.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 Katahi ka mea nui a Ihu ki a ratou, Kua mate a Raharuhi.
Then he said to them plainly, ‘Lazarus is dead;
15 A e hari ana ahau, he whakaaro hoki ki a koutou, noku kahore i reira, kia whakapono ai koutou; ahakoa ra kia haere tatou ki a ia.
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him.’
16 Na ka mea a Tamati, e huaina nei ko Ririmu, ki ona hoa akonga, Kia haere ano tatou, kia mate tahi me ia.
At this, Thomas, who was called “The Twin,” said to his fellow disciples, ‘Let us go too, so that we may die with him.’
17 Heoi, i te taenga atu o Ihu, rokohanga atu kua wha ke ona ra i roto i te urupa.
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 Na e tata ana Petani ki Hiruharama, kotahi pea tekau ma rima paronga:
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 He tokomaha ano nga Hurai i tae ki a Mata raua ko Meri, ki te whakamarie i a raua mo to raua tungane.
a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
20 A, no te rongonga o Mata, tena a Ihu te haere mai na, ka whakatau i a ia: ko Meri ia i noho i roto i te whare.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 Na ka mea a Mata ki a Ihu, E te Ariki, me i konei koe, kihai i mate toku tungane.
‘Master,’ Martha said to Jesus, ‘if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Heoi e matau nei ano ahau, ko tau e inoi ai ki te Atua, e homai e te Atua ki a koe.
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.’
23 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E ara ano tou tu ngane.
‘Your brother will rise to life,’ said Jesus.
24 Ka mea a Mata ki a ia, E matau ana ahau e ara ano ia i te aranga a te ra whakamutunga.
‘I know that he will,’ replied Martha, ‘in the resurrection at the Last day.’
25 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ko ahau te aranga, te ora; ko ia e whakapono ana ki ahau, ahakoa kua mate, e ora ano:
‘I am the resurrection and the life,’ said Jesus. ‘He who believes in me will live, though he die;
26 E kore ano e mate ake ake nga tangata katoa e ora ana, e whakapono ana ki ahau. E whakapono ana ranei koe ki tenei? (aiōn g165)
and he who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ (aiōn g165)
27 Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ae, e te Ariki: e whakapono ana ahau, ko te Karaiti koe, ko te Tama a te Atua, e haere mai ana ki te ao.
‘Yes Master,’ she answered. ‘I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.’
28 A ka mutu enei korero ana, ka haere ka karanga puku ki tona teina, ki a Meri, ka mea, Kua tae mai te Kaiwhakaako, e karanga ana hoki ki a koe.
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, ‘The teacher is here, and is asking for you.’
29 A, no ka rongo ia, hohoro tonu te whakatika, a haere ana ki a ia.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 Na kahore a Ihu i tomo noa ki te kainga; heoi kei taua wahi ano ia i tutaki ai a Mata ki a ia.
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 I te kitenga o nga Hurai e noho ana ki a ia i roto i te whare, e whakamarie ana i a ia, ka hohoro a Meri te whakatika, te puta ki waho, ka aru ratou i a ia, ka mea, E haere ana ia ki te urupa, ki reira tangi ai.
So the people, who were in the house with Mary, comforting her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 A, no ka tae a Meri ki te wahi kei reira nei a Ihu, ka kite i a ia, ka takoto ki ona waewae, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, me i konei koe, kihai i mate toku tungane.
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. ‘Master,’ she exclaimed, ‘if you had been here, my brother would not have died!’
33 A, no ka kite a Ihu i a ia e tangi ana, i nga Hurai hoki i haere tahi me ia e tangi ana, ka ngunguru ia, ara tona wairua, ka koingo.
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 Ka mea, I whakatakotoria ia e koutou ki hea? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, haere mai kia kite.
‘Where have you buried him?’ he asked. ‘Come and see, Master,’ they answered.
35 Tangi ana a Ihu.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Na ka mea nga Hurai, Nana, tona aroha ki a ia!
‘How he must have loved him!’ the people exclaimed;
37 Na ka mea etahi o ratou, Kahore ranei i taea e tenei tangata, nana nei i whakatitiro nga kanohi o te matapo, te mea i tenei tangata hoki kia kaua e mate?
but some of them said, ‘Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?’
38 Na ka ngunguru ano a Ihu i roto i a ia, ka haere ki te urupa. He ana ia, kua oti te pa ki te kohatu.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
39 Ka mea a Ihu, Tangohia atu e koutou te kohatu. Ka mea ki a ia a Mata tuahine o te tupapaku, E te Ariki, kua piro noa ake ia: ko tona po wha hoki tenei.
‘Move the stone away,’ said Jesus. ‘Master,’ said Martha, the sister of the dead man, ‘by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.’
40 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ia, Kihai koia ahau i mea ki a koe, Ki te whakapono koe, e kite koe i te kororia o te Atua?
‘Didn’t I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?’
41 Na ka tangohia e ratou te kohatu i te wahi i takoto ai te tupapaku. Na ka ara ake nga kanohi o Ihu, ka mea ia, E Pa, ko taku whakawhetai tenei ki a koe, mou i whakarongo ki ahau.
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
42 I mahara ano ahau e rongo tonu ana koe ki ahau: heoi he whakaaro ki te hunga e tu mai nei i korero ai ahau, kia whakapono ai ratou, nau ahau i tono mai.
I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.’
43 A, no ka penei tana ki, he nui tona reo ki te karanga, E Raharuhi, puta mai.
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus! Come out!’
44 Na ko te putanga mai o te tupapaku, he mea here nga ringa me nga waewae ki nga takai: he mea takai tona mata ki te tauera. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Wetekia, tukua kia haere.
The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. ‘Set him free,’ said Jesus, ‘and let him go.’
45 Na he tokomaha nga Hurai i haere nei ki a Meri, a, i to ratou kitenga i nga mea i mea ai a Ihu, ka whakapono ki a ia.
In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
46 Ko etahi o ratou i haere ki nga Parihi, i korero ki a ratou i nga mea i mahia e Ihu.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
47 Na ka whakaminea he runanga e nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi, ka mea, Kei te aha tatou nei? he maha hoki nga merekara e meatia nei e tenei tangata.
The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, ‘What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?
48 Ki te penei ta tatou tuku i a ia, ka whakapono katoa ki a ia: a ka haere mai nga Roma, ka tango i to tatou kainga, i to tatou iwi.
If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our Temple and our nation.’
49 Na ko tetahi o ratou ko Kaiapa, ko te tohunga nui o taua tau, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore koutou e matau ki tetahi mea.
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 Te whakaaro, he pai mo tatou ki te mate te tangata kotahi mo te iwi, a kahore e ngaro te iwi katoa.
‘You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.’
51 Na ehara tenei korero i te mea nana ake: engari ko te tohunga nui ia mo tera tau, heoi ka poropiti kia mate a Ihu mo taua iwi.
Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation –
52 Haunga ano taua iwi anake, engari kia whakaminea kia kotahi nga tamariki a te Atua kua marara noa atu.
And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.
53 No taua ra ake ano ka runanga ratou kia whakamatea ia.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
54 Koia i mutu ai te haere matanui o Ihu i roto i nga Hurai. Heoi haere atu ana ia i reira ki te wahi e tata ana ki te koraha, ki tetahi pa, ko Eparaima te ingoa, a noho ana i reira ratou ko ana akonga.
In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the people any more, but left and went into the country bordering on the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 Na kua tata te kapenga a nga Hurai: he tokomaha hoki i haere atu i taua whenua i mua o te kapenga ki Hiruharama ki te pure i a ratou.
But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their purification, before the Festival began.
56 Na ka rapu ratou i a Ihu, ka korerorero ki a ratou ano, i a ratou e tu ana i te temepara, E pehea ana o koutou whakaaro? e kore ranei ia e haere mai ki te hakari?
So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts, ‘What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?’
57 Na kua takoto te tikanga a nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi, ki te matau tetahi tangata ki te wahi e noho ai ia, me whakaatu, kia hopukia ai ia e ratou.
The chief priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if anyone learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
