1 Kwakukhona-ke othile owayegula othiwa nguLazaro weBethani, emzaneni kaMariya loMarta udadewabo.
Mbe munu umwi lisina lyaye Lazaro aliga alwaye. Asokele Bethania, mu musi gunu Mariamu no muyala wejabho Martha.
2 Kwakunguye uMariya owagcoba iNkosi ngamagcobo, wesula inyawo zayo ngenwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaro wayegula.
Aliga ni Mariamu uliya oyo abhambagile Lata bhugenyi Marhamu namukubhula ebhigele byaye kwa jifwili jaye, unu omundulume waye Lazaro aliga alwaye.
3 Ngakho odadewabo bathumela kuye besithi: Nkosi, khangela lowo omthandayo uyagula.
Mbe abhasubhati bhanu nibhasila obhulagile ku Yesu nibhaika ati,” Latabhugenyi, lola uliya umwendele alwaye.
4 UJesu esezwile wathi: Lokhu ukugula kakusikho okokufa, kodwa kungokodumo lukaNkulunkulu ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu idunyiswe ngakho.
Yesu ajile ogwa naika ati, Obhulwaye bhunu bhutali bwa kumwita, nawe, kulwalikusho lya Nyamuanga, omwana wa Nyamuanga abhone okukusibwa kubwo bhulwaye.”
5 UJesu wayebathanda-ke oMarta lodadewabo loLazaro.
Yesu amwendele Martha no muyala wejabho na Lazaro.
6 Ngakho esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wasehlala insuku ezimbili endaweni lapho ayekhona.
Ajile ongwa ati Lazaro ni mulwaye. Yesu nosayo siku ebhili anu aliga.
7 Emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubafundi: Asiphinde siye eJudiya.
Nuwo kulinu nabwila abheigisibwa bhaye ati,” chisubheyo Uyahudi lindi.”
8 Abafundi bathi kuye: Rabi, amaJuda asanda ukudinga ukukukhanda ngamatshe, njalo uya khona futhi yini?
Abheigisibwa nibhamubwila ati,”Rabi, Wayahudi bhaliga nibhayenja okukulasa amabhui ko wenda okusubheyo lindi.
9 UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho amahola alitshumi lambili emini yini? Nxa umuntu ehamba emini, kakhubeki, ngoba uyabona ukukhanya kwalumhlaba.
Yesu nasubya ati, “jisaa ja mu musi jitali ekumina na kabhili? Omunu akalibhata mu mwisi atakutula okwikujulaoku okubha kalola obwelu bwa mu mwisi.
10 Kodwa uba umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngoba ukukhanya kakukho kuye.
Nolwo kutyo akabha nalibhata mungeta kekujula okubha obwelu bhutalimo mukatungilwe kaye.”
11 Wakhuluma lezizinto, emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubo: Umngane wethu uLazaro uselele; kodwa ngiyahamba ukuze ngimvuse ebuthongweni.
Yesu naika ati emisango jinu, nabhabwila ati,”Omusani weswe Lazaro aongeye, nawe enigenda koleleki nibhone okumulafya okusoka mu ntilo.”
12 Ngakho abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Nkosi, uba elele, uzaphila.
Nuwo abheigisibwa bhaye nibhamubwila ati, Lata bhugenyi, alabha aongeye, kaja okulafya.
13 Kodwa uJesu wakhuluma ngokufa kwakhe; kodwa bona bacabanga ukuthi wakhuluma ngokuphumula kobuthongo.
Omwanya gunu Yesu aikile ku kufwa kwa Lazaro, nawe abhene nibheganilisha ati kaika ingulu wo kuongela kwa ntilo.
14 Ngakho uJesu wasebatshela ngokucacileyo: ULazaro ufile.
Nuwo Yesu naika nabho bwelu bwlu,”Lazaro afuye.
15 Njalo ngiyathokoza ngenxa yenu ukuthi bengingekho lapho, ukuze likholwe; kodwa asiye kuye.
Ninalikondelelwa kulwemwe, ati natabheyeo celiya koleleki mubhone okwikwilisha. Chigende mumwene.”
16 Ngakho uTomasi, othiwa nguDidimusi, wathi kubafundi kanye laye: Asihambeni lathi, ukuze sife kanye laye.
Mbe Tomaso, oyo katogwa amalongo, nabhabwila abheigisibwa bhejabho ati neswe chigende chifwe amwi na Yesu.”
17 Kwathi esefika uJesu, wamfica eselensuku ezine engcwabeni.
Omwanya Yesu ejile, asangile Lazaro abheye mufwa siku ena.
18 LeBethani yayiseduze leJerusalema, okungaba ngamastadiyu alitshumi lanhlanu ukusuka lapho;
Bethania yaliga yei na Yerusalemu sitandio makumi gana netanu kutyo.
19 labanengi kumaJuda babefikile kuMarta loMariya, ukuze babaduduze ngomnewabo.
Abhafu agati ya Bhayaudi bhejile ku Martha na Mariamu okubhasilisha kulwo mundulume webwe.
20 Ngakho uMarta, esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wayamhlangabeza; kodwa uMariya wahlala endlini.
Nuwo Martha ejileongwa ati Yesu kaja, nagenda okumulamila, nawe Mariamu nasigala eyanjile munyumba.
21 UMarta wasesithi kuJesu: Nkosi, aluba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga;
Mbe Martha namubwila yesu ati,”Lata bhugenyi, wakabheye olio omundulume wani atakafuye.
22 kodwa lakhathesi ngiyazi ukuthi loba yini ongayicela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakunika yona.
Nolwo woli, nimenyele okubha jone ulasabwa okusoka Kunyamuanga, kakuyana.”
23 UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzabuya avuke.
Yesu namubwila ati, omundulume wao kasuluka lindi.”
24 UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uzabuya avuke ekuvukeni ngosuku lokucina.
Martha namubwila ati, nimenyele ati, alisukila kubhusoko bwo lusiku lwo bhutelo.”
25 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyikuvuka lempilo; okholwa kimi, loba esefile, uzaphila;
Yesu namubwila ati,” Anye nibhusuko no bhuanga unu kekilisha akabheye afuye nolwo kutyo anobhuanga;
Noyo kekala no kunyikilisha anye atakufwa. We kilisha linu?” (aiōn g165)
27 Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; mina ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obezakuza emhlabeni.
Namubwila ati,'Nikwo, Lata Bhugenyi nekilisha awe ni Kristo, omwana wa Nyamuanga, unu kaja musi.”
28 Esetshilo lokhu uMarta wasuka, wayabiza udadewabo uMariya ensitha, wathi: UMfundisi ulapha uyakubiza.
Ejille amala okwaika linu nagenda jaye nabhilikila. omuyala wejabho Mariamu mwitebhe. Naika ati omwiigisha alyanu kakubhilikila.
29 Yena-ke esezwile lokhu, wahle wasukuma waya kuye.
Mariamu ejile ongwa emukile bhangu, nagenda ku Yesu.
30 Kodwa uJesu wayengakafiki emzaneni, kodwa wayesendaweni lapho uMarta amhlangabeza khona.
Yesu aliga achali kukinga mu musi, nawe aliga achali anu Martha.
31 Ngakho amaJuda ayesendlini laye emduduza, ebona uMariya ukuthi wasukuma ngokuphangisa ephuma, amlandela, esithi: Uya engcwabeni, ukuze akhale khona.
Mbe Abhayahudi bhaliga na Mariamu mu nyumba na bhaliya abhasilisya, bhejile bhamulola nemelegulu bhangu no kusoka anja, nibhamulubha; nibhetogela ati kagenda kufwa ajokulila eyo.
32 Kwathi uMariya, esefike lapho uJesu akhona, embona, wawela enyaweni zakhe, esithi kuye: Nkosi, ngabe ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga.
Mbe mariamu ejile akinga aliya Yesu namulola, agwa asi kubhigele byeye namubwila ati,”Lata bhugenyi, wakabheye ulio omundulume wani atakafuye.”
33 Ngakho uJesu wathi embona ekhala, lamaJuda afika laye ekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wazikhathaza,
Yesu ejilia akamulola nalila, na Abhayahudi nibhaja amwi nage bhaliga nibhalila nalumwa mu mwoyo no kusulumbala;
34 wathi: Limbeke ngaphi? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone.
Naika ati,” Mwamuteye aki? nibhamubwila ati, Lata bhugenyi, ija ulole.”
35 UJesu walila.
Yesu nalila.
36 Ngakho amaJuda athi: Khangelani ukuthi ubemthanda njani.
Mbe Abhayahudi nibhaika ati,” Lola kwoko aliga amwendele Lazaro!”
37 Kodwa amanye awo athi: Lo, owavula amehlo esiphofu, ubengekwenze yini ukuthi lalo angafi?
Nawe abhafu agati yebwe nibhaika ati,” Atali unu omunu oyo eguye ameso ga uliya oyo aliga muofu, akatulile okuingilila omunu unu atafwa?”
38 Ngakho uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe wafika engcwabeni. Njalo lalilubhalu, lelitshe libekwe phezu kwalo.
Mbe yesu, nalumwa mumutima gwaye lindi, nagenda kufwa Woli yaliga nsenga, na libhui liteyweko ingulu yaye.
39 UJesu wathi: Susani ilitshe. UMarta udadewabo wofileyo wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngoba uselensuku ezine.
Yesu naika ati,” Mulisoshewo libhui.”Martha omuyala wejabho na Lazaro, unu afuye, namubwila Yesu ati,”Lata bhugenyi ku mwanya gunu, omubhili gwabholele, kwo kubha afuye siku ena.”
40 UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitshongo yini kuwe, ukuthi uba ukholwa, uzabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu?
Yesu namubwila ati,”Anye nitakubwiliye ati, ukekilisha, oulola likusho lya Nyamuanga?
41 Balisusa-ke ilitshe, lapho okwakulele khona ofileyo. UJesu wasephakamisela amehlo akhe phezulu, wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngoba wena ungizwile.
Kulwejo nasoshao libhui. Yesu nenamusha ameso gaye ingulu anaika ati,”Lata enikusima okubha wanyuguwe.
42 Kodwa mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalonjalo; kodwa ngenxa yexuku elingiphahlileyo ngitshilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
Nimenyele ati ounyungwa kusiku, nawe kulwa likofyanya linu lisingiye koleleki naike jinu, bhabhone okwikilisha ati awe wantumele.”
43 Esetshilo lezizinto, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Lazaro, phuma!
Ejile amala okwika kutyo, nalila kwo bhulaka bhenene,”Lazaro, soka anja!”
44 Wasephuma owayefile, ebotshiwe inyawo lezandla ngamalembu okuthandela isidumbu, lobuso bakhe bugoqelwe ngeqhiye. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyekele ahambe.
Omufuye nasoka anja abhoyelwe amabhoko na magulu kwo mwenda gwo kusikilwa no bhusu bwaye bhubhoyelwe nechitambala.” Yesu nabhabwila ati,”Nimumusulumule musige agende.”
45 Ngakho abanengi kumaJuda, ababeze kuMariya bebona izinto azenzileyo uJesu, bakholwa kuye.
Mbe Abhayahudi bhafu bhejile ku Mariamu no kumulola Yesu echoakolele, nibhamwilisha;
46 Kodwa abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela izinto azenzileyo uJesu.
Nawe abhandi yebwe bhagendele ku Mafalisayo nibhamubwila emisango ejoakolele Yesu.
47 Ngakho abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi baqoqa umphakathi, bathi: Sizakwenzani? Ngoba umuntu lo wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi;
Niwo abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhafalisayo nibhekumanya amwi muchilaji nibhaika ati,”chikole kutiki? omunu unu kakola ebhibhalikisho bhafu.
48 uba simyekele njalo, bonke bazakholwa kuye; amaRoma asezakuza athathe lindawo lesizwe sakithi.
Alabha chikamusiga kutyo wenyele, bhone abhamwilisha; Abhalumi bhalija okugega byona isi yeswe na liyanga lyeswe.”
49 Kodwa omunye wabo, uKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, wathi kubo: Kalazi lutho lina,
Nolwo kutyo, omunu umwi mu bhona, Kayafa, aliga mugabhisi Omukulu mumwaka ogwo, nabhabwila ati, “Mutakumenya chonachona chimali.
50 futhi kalinakani ukuthi kusilungele ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, lokuthi isizwe sonke singabhubhi.
Mutakwiganilisha ati kubheile kwemwe ati omunu umwi kwiile okufwa kulwa bhanu kukila liyanga lyona no kubhulao.”
51 Kodwa kazitsholongo lokhu ngokwakhe, kodwa engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, waprofetha ukuthi uJesu uzafela lesosizwe,
Ganu atagaikile kwokubha omwene aliga mugabhisi omukulu omwaka guliya, nalagila ati Yesu kafwa kulwa liyanga;
52 njalo kungabi yisizwe kuphela, kodwa ukuze abuthele ndawonye labantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekileyo babe munye.
Neswe kulwa liyanga Yesu abhone okubhakumanya abhana bha Nyamuanga bhanu bhanyalambukile kulakula.
53 Ngakho kusukela kulolosuku benza ndawonye icebo ukuze bambulale.
Kulwejo okusoka kulusiku olwo nokugendelela nibhalwaja okumwita Yesu.
54 Ngakho uJesu kabesahamba obala phakathi kwamaJuda, kodwa wasuka lapho waya elizweni eliseduze lenkangala, emzini othiwa yiEfrayimi, wasehlala khona labafundi bakhe.
Yesu atalibhatile lindi bwelu bwelu agati ya Bhayaudi, nawe nasokayo nagenda ku chalo chiliyei na ibhala mu mu si ngutogwa Efraimu. Hao eyanjile na bheigisibwa.
55 Laselisondele iphasika lamaJuda; labanengi abavela emaphandleni benyukela eJerusalema lingakafiki iphasika, ukuze bazihlambulule.
Nawe Ipasaka ya Bhayaudi yaliga ayei nabhafu, nibhalinya okugenda Yerusalemu anja yo mu si ichali okubha ipasaka koleleki bhabhone okwiyesha abhene.
56 Ngakho bamdinga uJesu, bekhulumisana bemi ethempelini besithi: Licabangani? Lithi isibili kayikuza emkhosini yini?
Bhaliga nibhamuyenja Yesu, nibhaikana bhuli umwi awobhaliga bhemeleguyu muyekalu, “Omwiganilisha kutiki? Ati atakuja ku malya?”
57 Kodwa bonke abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babekhuphe umlayo wokuthi uba ekhona owaziyo lapho akhona, akubike ukuze bambambe.
Omwanya gunu abhakulu bha bhagabhisi na bhafarisayo bhaliga bhasosishe obhulamusi ati alabha umwi akamenya Yesu anu ali, aiki koleleki bhabhone okumugwata.
