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 certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of 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.
(It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)
3 Na ka tono tangata nga tuahine ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, tenei kei te mate tau tangata e aroha nei.
So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear 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.
Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
5 Na i aroha a Ihu ki a Mata raua ko tona teina, ki a Raharuhi hoki.
Now 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.
When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.
7 Muri iho i tenei ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Tatou ka haere ano ki Huria.
Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea."
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," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back 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 there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees the light of this world.
10 Tena ka haere tetahi i te po, ka tutuki ia, no te mea kahore he marama i roto i a ia.
But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
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.
He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
12 Na ko te meatanga a ana akonga, E te Ariki, ki te mea kei te moe ia, tera ia e ora.
"Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
13 Kahore, ko tona matenga ta Ihu i korero ai: ko ratou ia i mahara, i korero ia mo te takotoranga ina moe.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
14 Katahi ka mea nui a Ihu ki a ratou, Kua mate a Raharuhi.
So then He told them plainly,
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.
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. 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.
"Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "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.
On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.
18 Na e tata ana Petani ki Hiruharama, kotahi pea tekau ma rima paronga:
Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;
19 He tokomaha ano nga Hurai i tae ki a Mata raua ko Meri, ki te whakamarie i a raua mo to raua tungane.
and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
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.
Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
21 Na ka mea a Mata ki a Ihu, E te Ariki, me i konei koe, kihai i mate toku tungane.
So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "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.
And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."
23 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E ara ano tou tu ngane.
"Your brother shall rise again," replied 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," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on 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, even if he has died, he shall live;
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 every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, 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 replied; "I thoroughly 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, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you."
29 A, no ka rongo ia, hohoro tonu te whakatika, a haere ana ki a ia.
So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to 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.
Now Jesus was not yet 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 Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud 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.
Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, 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.
Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,
34 Ka mea, I whakatakotoria ia e koutou ki hea? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, haere mai kia kite.
though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.
35 Tangi ana a Ihu.
Jesus wept.
36 Na ka mea nga Hurai, Nana, tona aroha ki a ia!
"See how dear he held him," said the Jews.
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 others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man 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.
Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid 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.
"Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
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?
"Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall 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 removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.
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 Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me."
43 A, no ka penei tana ki, he nui tona reo ki te karanga, E Raharuhi, puta mai.
After speaking thus, He called out 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, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."
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.
Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;
46 Ko etahi o ratou i haere ki nga Parihi, i korero ki a ratou i nga mea i mahia e Ihu.
though some of them went off 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.
Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
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 leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city 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.
But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.
50 Te whakaaro, he pai mo tatou ki te mate te tangata kotahi mo te iwi, a kahore e ngaro te iwi katoa.
You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."
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.
It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare 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 in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.
53 No taua ra ake ano ka runanga ratou kia whakamatea ia.
So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him 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.
Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the 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.
The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
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?
They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
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.
Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
