UJohane 11
1 Kwakukhona-ke othile owayegula othiwa nguLazaro weBethani, emzaneni kaMariya loMarta udadewabo.
Ɔbarima bi tenaa ase wɔ Betania a na wɔfrɛ no Lasaro. Betania yi yɛ kurow a na Maria ne ne nua Marta fi mu. Da bi, saa ɔbarima yi yaree.
2 Kwakunguye uMariya owagcoba iNkosi ngamagcobo, wesula inyawo zayo ngenwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaro wayegula.
Saa Maria yi a ne nuabarima ne Lasaro a na ɔyare no na ohwiee ngo guu Awurade nan ase de ne tinwi pepae no.
3 Ngakho odadewabo bathumela kuye besithi: Nkosi, khangela lowo omthandayo uyagula.
Anuanom yi soma kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, wo dɔfo no yare.”
4 UJesu esezwile wathi: Lokhu ukugula kakusikho okokufa, kodwa kungokodumo lukaNkulunkulu ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu idunyiswe ngakho.
Yesu tee nkra no ɔkae se, “Ɛnyɛ saa ɔyare yi na ebekum Lasaro. Mmom Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɔyare yi so hyɛ ne ho anuonyam, na saa anuonyam yi bi nso ka Onipa Ba no.”
5 UJesu wayebathanda-ke oMarta lodadewabo loLazaro.
Na Yesu pɛ Maria ne ne nuabea Marta ne Lasaro asɛm yiye.
6 Ngakho esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wasehlala insuku ezimbili endaweni lapho ayekhona.
Bere a Yesu tee nkra sɛ Lasaro yare denneennen no wankɔ saa bere no ara mu; ɔtenaa hɔ nnaanu.
7 Emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubafundi: Asiphinde siye eJudiya.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Momma yɛnsan nkɔ Yudea.”
8 Abafundi bathi kuye: Rabi, amaJuda asanda ukudinga ukukukhanda ngamatshe, njalo uya khona futhi yini?
Nanso asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ɛnkyɛe biara na Yudafo no pɛɛ sɛ wosiw wo abo na afei wuse yɛnsan nkɔ hɔ bio yi?”
9 UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho amahola alitshumi lambili emini yini? Nxa umuntu ehamba emini, kakhubeki, ngoba uyabona ukukhanya kwalumhlaba.
Yesu kae se, “Nnɔnhwerew dumien na ɛwɔ da koro mu, meboa ana? Ɛno nti sɛ obi nam hann mu a ɔrenhintiw, efisɛ ɔnam wiase hann mu.
10 Kodwa uba umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngoba ukukhanya kakukho kuye.
Nanso sɛ ɔnam anadwo sum mu a obehintiw, efisɛ ɔnam sum mu.”
11 Wakhuluma lezizinto, emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubo: Umngane wethu uLazaro uselele; kodwa ngiyahamba ukuze ngimvuse ebuthongweni.
Yesu san kae se, “Yɛn adamfo Lasaro ada na merekɔ akonyan no.”
12 Ngakho abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Nkosi, uba elele, uzaphila.
Asuafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, sɛ wada de a ɛno de, na ne ho bɛtɔ no.”
13 Kodwa uJesu wakhuluma ngokufa kwakhe; kodwa bona bacabanga ukuthi wakhuluma ngokuphumula kobuthongo.
Na Yesu kyerɛ sɛ Lasaro awu nanso asuafo no de, na wosusuw sɛ nna ara na wada.
14 Ngakho uJesu wasebatshela ngokucacileyo: ULazaro ufile.
Ɛno nti Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn pefee se, “Lasaro awu;
15 Njalo ngiyathokoza ngenxa yenu ukuthi bengingekho lapho, ukuze likholwe; kodwa asiye kuye.
nanso mo nti ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ na minni hɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubegye adi. Momma yɛnkɔ ne nkyɛn.”
16 Ngakho uTomasi, othiwa nguDidimusi, wathi kubafundi kanye laye: Asihambeni lathi, ukuze sife kanye laye.
Toma a wɔfrɛ no Ata no ka kyerɛɛ ne mfɛfo asuafo no se, “Momma yɛne Kyerɛkyerɛfo no nyinaa nkɔ na yɛne no nkowu.”
17 Kwathi esefika uJesu, wamfica eselensuku ezine engcwabeni.
Yesu duu Betania no na Lasaro awu ama wɔasie no ma adi nnaanan.
18 LeBethani yayiseduze leJerusalema, okungaba ngamastadiyu alitshumi lanhlanu ukusuka lapho;
Efi Betania rekɔ Yerusalem no nnu akwansin abien,
19 labanengi kumaJuda babefikile kuMarta loMariya, ukuze babaduduze ngomnewabo.
na saa bere no na Yudafo bebree aba Marta ne Maria nkyɛn sɛ wɔrebegyam wɔn wɔ wɔn nua no wu no ho.
20 Ngakho uMarta, esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wayamhlangabeza; kodwa uMariya wahlala endlini.
Marta tee sɛ Yesu reba no, ofii adi kohyiaa no, na Maria de, ɔtenaa fie.
21 UMarta wasesithi kuJesu: Nkosi, aluba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga;
Marta ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Ao, Awurade, sɛ wowɔ ha a anka me nua no anwu!
22 kodwa lakhathesi ngiyazi ukuthi loba yini ongayicela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakunika yona.
Minim mpo sɛ saa bere yi mu biribiara a wubebisa Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnyɛ mma wo no ɔbɛyɛ.”
23 UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzabuya avuke.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo nua no bɛsan anya nkwa bio.”
24 UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uzabuya avuke ekuvukeni ngosuku lokucina.
Marta buaa no se, “Awurade, minim sɛ owusɔre da no ɔno nso bɛsɔre.”
25 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyikuvuka lempilo; okholwa kimi, loba esefile, uzaphila;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me na minyan awufo ma wɔn nkwa. Obiara a ogye me di no sɛ wawu mpo a ɔbɛsan anya nkwa.
Na obiara a ɔte ase na ogye me di no renwu da. Wugye eyi di ana?” (aiōn g165)
27 Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; mina ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obezakuza emhlabeni.
Marta buae se, “Awurade, migye midi. Migye di sɛ wone Kristo Agyenkwa a ɔne Onyankopɔn Ba a ɔreba wiase no.”
28 Esetshilo lokhu uMarta wasuka, wayabiza udadewabo uMariya ensitha, wathi: UMfundisi ulapha uyakubiza.
Marta kaa saa asɛm yi wiee no, ɔkɔfrɛɛ ne nua Maria de no kɔɔ kokoa mu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo no aba na wabisa wo ase.”
29 Yena-ke esezwile lokhu, wahle wasukuma waya kuye.
Maria tee saa asɛm yi no ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kohyiaa Yesu.
30 Kodwa uJesu wayengakafiki emzaneni, kodwa wayesendaweni lapho uMarta amhlangabeza khona.
Saa bere no na Yesu mmeduu akuraa no ase hɔ ɛ. Na ɔda so wɔ faako a Marta hyiaa no hɔ no.
31 Ngakho amaJuda ayesendlini laye emduduza, ebona uMariya ukuthi wasukuma ngokuphangisa ephuma, amlandela, esithi: Uya engcwabeni, ukuze akhale khona.
Bere a Yudafo a wɔne Maria wɔ fie hɔ regyam no no huu sɛ wasɔre mpofirim refi adi no wodii nʼakyi, efisɛ na wosusuw sɛ ɔrekɔ da no so akosu.
32 Kwathi uMariya, esefike lapho uJesu akhona, embona, wawela enyaweni zakhe, esithi kuye: Nkosi, ngabe ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga.
Maria duu faako a Yesu wɔ no, ɔkotow ne nan ase kae se, “Ao Awurade, sɛ wowɔ ha a anka me nua no anwu.”
33 Ngakho uJesu wathi embona ekhala, lamaJuda afika laye ekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wazikhathaza,
Yesu huu sɛ Maria ne Yudafo a wɔka ne ho no resu no, ɛhaw no yiye na ne werɛ howee.
34 wathi: Limbeke ngaphi? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone.
Obisaa wɔn se, “Ɛhe na musiee no?” Wobuaa no se, “Awurade, bra na yɛnkɔkyerɛ wo.”
35 UJesu walila.
Yesu sui.
36 Ngakho amaJuda athi: Khangelani ukuthi ubemthanda njani.
Yudafo no huu sɛ ɔresu no wɔkae se, “Eyi kyerɛ ɔdɔ a ɔde dɔ no.”
37 Kodwa amanye awo athi: Lo, owavula amehlo esiphofu, ubengekwenze yini ukuthi lalo angafi?
Wɔn mu bi kae se, “Onipa a ɔmaa onifuraefo huu ade no munnnye nni sɛ anka obetumi agye Lasaro nkwa ana?”
38 Ngakho uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe wafika engcwabeni. Njalo lalilubhalu, lelitshe libekwe phezu kwalo.
Asɛm a nkurɔfo no kaa no maa Yesu werɛ howee. Afei ɔkɔɔ ɔda a wɔde ɔbo ahini ano no so.
39 UJesu wathi: Susani ilitshe. UMarta udadewabo wofileyo wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngoba uselensuku ezine.
Yesu hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Munyi ɔbo a ehini ɔda no ano no.” Marta a ɔyɛ owufo no nuabea no kae se, “Awurade, ɛbɛyɛ nnaanan ni a wosiee no nti saa bere yi de, ɔbɔn.”
40 UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitshongo yini kuwe, ukuthi uba ukholwa, uzabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu?
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Marta se, “Manka ankyerɛ wo se sɛ wugye di a wubehu Onyankopɔn anuonyam?”
41 Balisusa-ke ilitshe, lapho okwakulele khona ofileyo. UJesu wasephakamisela amehlo akhe phezulu, wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngoba wena ungizwile.
Woyii ɔbo no fii ɔda no ano. Afei Yesu hwɛɛ ɔsoro, bɔɔ mpae se, “Agya, meda wo ase sɛ wutie me.
42 Kodwa mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalonjalo; kodwa ngenxa yexuku elingiphahlileyo ngitshilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
Minim sɛ wutie me daa nyinaa nanso esiane nnipa a wɔwɔ ha nti na mereka eyi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobegye adi sɛ wo na wosomaa me.”
43 Esetshilo lezizinto, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Lazaro, phuma!
Ɔkaa eyi wiee no, ɔteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Lasaro, sɔre bra!”
44 Wasephuma owayefile, ebotshiwe inyawo lezandla ngamalembu okuthandela isidumbu, lobuso bakhe bugoqelwe ngeqhiye. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyekele ahambe.
Lasaro sɔre bae a ntama a wɔde kyekyeree ne nsa ne ne nan ne nʼanim no da so kyekyere no. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monsan ne ho ntama no na ɔnkɔ.”
45 Ngakho abanengi kumaJuda, ababeze kuMariya bebona izinto azenzileyo uJesu, bakholwa kuye.
Yudafo a wɔbɛsraa Maria na wohuu nea Yesu yɛe no mu bebree gyee no dii.
46 Kodwa abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela izinto azenzileyo uJesu.
Na wɔn mu bi nso kɔɔ Farisifo no hɔ kɔkaa nea esii no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
47 Ngakho abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi baqoqa umphakathi, bathi: Sizakwenzani? Ngoba umuntu lo wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi;
Enti Farisifo no ne asɔfo mpanyin no hyiaa baguafo no kae se, “Dɛn na yɛreyɛ? Monhwɛ anwonwade a saa onipa yi reyɛ!
48 uba simyekele njalo, bonke bazakholwa kuye; amaRoma asezakuza athathe lindawo lesizwe sakithi.
Sɛ yɛma ɔkɔ so yɛ nea ɔreyɛ yi a, nnipa nyinaa begye no adi na wɔadi nʼakyi. Sɛ ɛba saa a Roma aban bebisa yɛn asɛm na wasɛe yɛn asɔredan ne ɔman mu yi nyinaa.”
49 Kodwa omunye wabo, uKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, wathi kubo: Kalazi lutho lina,
Kaiafa a saa bere no na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfopanyin no kae se, “Mo de munnim hwee!
50 futhi kalinakani ukuthi kusilungele ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, lokuthi isizwe sonke singabhubhi.
Munnim sɛ eye ma mo sɛ onipa baako bewu ama nnipa no nyinaa sen sɛ wɔbɛsɛe ɔman mu no nyinaa?”
51 Kodwa kazitsholongo lokhu ngokwakhe, kodwa engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, waprofetha ukuthi uJesu uzafela lesosizwe,
Emfi ɔno ankasa ne tumi mu na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ esiane sɛ na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfopanyin saa bere no nti na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm se, “Yesu bewu de agye mo nkwa,”
52 njalo kungabi yisizwe kuphela, kodwa ukuze abuthele ndawonye labantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekileyo babe munye.
na ɛnyɛ wɔn nko, na mmom ɛnam eyi so bɛma Onyankopɔn mma a wɔabɔ ahwete no nyinaa ano aboa na wɔayɛ ɔman baako.
53 Ngakho kusukela kulolosuku benza ndawonye icebo ukuze bambulale.
Efi saa bere no, Yudafo mpanyin no faa adwene sɛ wobekum Yesu.
54 Ngakho uJesu kabesahamba obala phakathi kwamaJuda, kodwa wasuka lapho waya elizweni eliseduze lenkangala, emzini othiwa yiEfrayimi, wasehlala khona labafundi bakhe.
Eyi nti Yesu anyi ne ho adi wɔ Yudea, na ofii hɔ kɔɔ sare so kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Efraim ne nʼasuafo no kɔtenaa hɔ.
55 Laselisondele iphasika lamaJuda; labanengi abavela emaphandleni benyukela eJerusalema lingakafiki iphasika, ukuze bazihlambulule.
Na Yudafo Twam Afahyɛ no rebɛn nti nnipa pii fii wɔn nkuraa kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekodwira wɔn ho de atwɛn afahyɛ no.
56 Ngakho bamdinga uJesu, bekhulumisana bemi ethempelini besithi: Licabangani? Lithi isibili kayikuza emkhosini yini?
Na wɔrehwehwɛ Yesu ahu no. Ɛno nti woduu asɔredan mu hɔ no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Mugye di sɛ Yesu bɛba afahyɛ yi bi ana?” Ebinom kae se, “Yennye nni.”
57 Kodwa bonke abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babekhuphe umlayo wokuthi uba ekhona owaziyo lapho akhona, akubike ukuze bambambe.
Saa bere yi na asɔfo mpanyin ne Farisifo no ahyɛ sɛ, sɛ obi nim faako a Yesu wɔ a, ɔnkyerɛ na wɔnkɔkyere no.
