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 kuro a na Maria ne ne nua Marta firi mu. Ɛda bi, saa ɔbarima yi yareeɛ.
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, ɔno na ɔhwiee ngo guu Awurade nan ase de ne tirinwi pepaeɛ no.
3 Ngakho odadewabo bathumela kuye besithi: Nkosi, khangela lowo omthandayo uyagula.
Anuanom yi soma kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, wo dɔfoɔ no yare.”
4 UJesu esezwile wathi: Lokhu ukugula kakusikho okokufa, kodwa kungokodumo lukaNkulunkulu ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu idunyiswe ngakho.
Yesu tee nkra no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ saa yadeɛ yi na ɛbɛkum Lasaro. Mmom, Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɔfa saa yadeɛ yi so hyɛ ne ho animuonyam, na saa animuonyam yi bi nso ka Onipa Ba no.”
5 UJesu wayebathanda-ke oMarta lodadewabo loLazaro.
Na Yesu pɛ Maria ne ne nuabaa Marta ne Lasaro asɛm yie.
6 Ngakho esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wasehlala insuku ezimbili endaweni lapho ayekhona.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu tee nkra sɛ Lasaro yare dendeenden no, wankɔ saa ɛberɛ no ara mu; ɔtenaa hɔ nnanu.
7 Emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubafundi: Asiphinde siye eJudiya.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Momma yɛnsane nkɔ Yudea.”
8 Abafundi bathi kuye: Rabi, amaJuda asanda ukudinga ukukukhanda ngamatshe, njalo uya khona futhi yini?
Nanso, asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ɛnkyɛree biara na Yudafoɔ no pɛɛ sɛ wɔsi wo aboɔ ɛnna afei wose yɛnsane nkɔ hɔ bio yi?”
9 UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho amahola alitshumi lambili emini yini? Nxa umuntu ehamba emini, kakhubeki, ngoba uyabona ukukhanya kwalumhlaba.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Nnɔnhwere dumienu na ɛwɔ da koro mu, meboa anaa? Ɛno enti, sɛ obi nam hann mu a, ɔrensunti, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnam ewiase hann mu.
10 Kodwa uba umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngoba ukukhanya kakukho kuye.
Nanso, sɛ ɔnam anadwo sum mu a, ɔbɛsunti, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnam sum mu.”
11 Wakhuluma lezizinto, emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubo: Umngane wethu uLazaro uselele; kodwa ngiyahamba ukuze ngimvuse ebuthongweni.
Yesu sane kaa sɛ, “Yɛn adamfo Lasaro ada na merekɔ akɔnyane no.”
12 Ngakho abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Nkosi, uba elele, uzaphila.
Asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, sɛ wada deɛ a, ɛnneɛ 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 asuafoɔ no deɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ nna ara na wada.
14 Ngakho uJesu wasebatshela ngokucacileyo: ULazaro ufile.
Ɛno enti, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn pefee sɛ, “Lasaro awu;
15 Njalo ngiyathokoza ngenxa yenu ukuthi bengingekho lapho, ukuze likholwe; kodwa asiye kuye.
nanso mo enti, ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ na menni hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛgye 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 mfɛfoɔ asuafoɔ no sɛ, “Momma yɛne Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no nyinaa nkɔ na yɛne no nkɔwu.”
17 Kwathi esefika uJesu, wamfica eselensuku ezine engcwabeni.
Yesu duruu Betania no, na Lasaro awu ma wɔasie no ma adi nnanan.
18 LeBethani yayiseduze leJerusalema, okungaba ngamastadiyu alitshumi lanhlanu ukusuka lapho;
Ɛfiri Betania rekɔ Yerusalem no nnuru akwansini mmienu,
19 labanengi kumaJuda babefikile kuMarta loMariya, ukuze babaduduze ngomnewabo.
na saa ɛberɛ no, na Yudafoɔ bebree aba Marta ne Maria nkyɛn sɛ wɔrebɛgyam wɔn wɔ wɔn nua no wuo no ho.
20 Ngakho uMarta, esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wayamhlangabeza; kodwa uMariya wahlala endlini.
Marta tee sɛ Yesu reba no, ɔfirii adi kɔhyiaa no, na Maria deɛ, ɔtenaa efie.
21 UMarta wasesithi kuJesu: Nkosi, aluba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga;
Marta ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sɛ wowɔ ha a, anka me nua no anwu!
22 kodwa lakhathesi ngiyazi ukuthi loba yini ongayicela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakunika yona.
Menim mpo sɛ saa ɛberɛ yi mu biribiara a wobɛbisa Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnyɛ mma wo no, ɔbɛyɛ.”
23 UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzabuya avuke.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nua no bɛsane anya nkwa bio.”
24 UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uzabuya avuke ekuvukeni ngosuku lokucina.
Marta buaa no sɛ, “Awurade, menim sɛ owusɔreɛ da no ɔno nso bɛsɔre.”
25 UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyikuvuka lempilo; okholwa kimi, loba esefile, uzaphila;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me na menyane awufoɔ ma wɔn nkwa. Obiara a ɔgye me di no, sɛ wawu mpo a, ɔbɛsane anya nkwa.
Na obiara a ɔte ase na ɔgye me di no, renwu da. Wogye yei di anaa?” (aiōn g165)
27 Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; mina ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obezakuza emhlabeni.
Marta buaa sɛ, “Awurade, megye medi. Megye medi sɛ wone Kristo Agyenkwa a ɔne Onyankopɔn Ba a ɔreba ewiase no.”
28 Esetshilo lokhu uMarta wasuka, wayabiza udadewabo uMariya ensitha, wathi: UMfundisi ulapha uyakubiza.
Marta kaa saa asɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔkɔfrɛɛ ne nua Maria de no kɔɔ kɔkoam ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no aba na wabisa wʼase.”
29 Yena-ke esezwile lokhu, wahle wasukuma waya kuye.
Maria tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔhyiaa Yesu.
30 Kodwa uJesu wayengakafiki emzaneni, kodwa wayesendaweni lapho uMarta amhlangabeza khona.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Yesu mmɛduruu akuraa no ase hɔ. 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.
Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ efie hɔ regyam Maria no hunuu sɛ wasɔre ɔherɛ so refiri adi no, wɔdii nʼakyi, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ ɔrekɔ da no so akɔsu.
32 Kwathi uMariya, esefike lapho uJesu akhona, embona, wawela enyaweni zakhe, esithi kuye: Nkosi, ngabe ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga.
Maria duruu faako a Yesu wɔ no, ɔtotoo ne nan ase kaa sɛ, “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 hunuu sɛ Maria ne Yudafoɔ a wɔka ne ho no resu no, ɛhaa no yie na ne werɛ hoeɛ.
34 wathi: Limbeke ngaphi? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone.
Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛhe na mosiee no?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Awurade, bra na yɛnkɔkyerɛ wo.”
35 UJesu walila.
Yesu suiɛ.
36 Ngakho amaJuda athi: Khangelani ukuthi ubemthanda njani.
Yudafoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔresu no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yei kyerɛ ɔdɔ a ɔde dɔ no.”
37 Kodwa amanye awo athi: Lo, owavula amehlo esiphofu, ubengekwenze yini ukuthi lalo angafi?
Wɔn mu bi kaa sɛ, “Onipa a ɔmaa onifirani hunuu adeɛ no, monnnye nni sɛ anka ɔbɛtumi agye Lasaro nkwa anaa?”
38 Ngakho uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe wafika engcwabeni. Njalo lalilubhalu, lelitshe libekwe phezu kwalo.
Asɛm a nkurɔfoɔ no kaeɛ no maa Yesu werɛ hoeɛ. Afei, ɔkɔɔ ɛda a wɔde ɛboɔ ahini ano no so.
39 UJesu wathi: Susani ilitshe. UMarta udadewabo wofileyo wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngoba uselensuku ezine.
Yesu hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monyi ɛboɔ a ɛhini ɛda no ano no.” Marta a ɔyɛ owufoɔ no nuabaa no kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛbɛyɛ nna ɛnan ni a yɛbɛsiee no enti saa ɛberɛ yi deɛ, ɛbɔn.”
40 UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitshongo yini kuwe, ukuthi uba ukholwa, uzabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu?
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Marta sɛ, “Manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ, sɛ wogye di a wobɛhunu Onyankopɔn animuonyam?”
41 Balisusa-ke ilitshe, lapho okwakulele khona ofileyo. UJesu wasephakamisela amehlo akhe phezulu, wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngoba wena ungizwile.
Wɔyii ɛboɔ no firii ɛda no ano. Afei, Yesu hwɛɛ ɛsoro, bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, meda wo ase sɛ wotie me.
42 Kodwa mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalonjalo; kodwa ngenxa yexuku elingiphahlileyo ngitshilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
Menim sɛ wotie me daa nyinaa, nanso ɛsiane nnipa a wɔwɔ ha enti na mereka yei sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛgye adi sɛ wo na wosomaa me.”
43 Esetshilo lezizinto, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Lazaro, phuma!
Ɔkaa yei wieeɛ no, ɔteaam denden sɛ, “Lasaro, sɔre bra!”
44 Wasephuma owayefile, ebotshiwe inyawo lezandla ngamalembu okuthandela isidumbu, lobuso bakhe bugoqelwe ngeqhiye. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyekele ahambe.
Lasaro sɔre baeɛ a ntoma a wɔde kyekyeree ne nsa ne ne nan ne nʼanim no da so kyekyere no. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsane ne ho ntoma no na ɔnkɔ.”
45 Ngakho abanengi kumaJuda, ababeze kuMariya bebona izinto azenzileyo uJesu, bakholwa kuye.
Yudafoɔ a wɔbɛsraa Maria na wɔhunuu deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ no mu bebree gyee no diiɛ.
46 Kodwa abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela izinto azenzileyo uJesu.
Na wɔn mu bi nso kɔɔ Farisifoɔ no hɔ kɔkaa deɛ ɛsiiɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
47 Ngakho abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi baqoqa umphakathi, bathi: Sizakwenzani? Ngoba umuntu lo wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi;
Enti Farisifoɔ no ne asɔfoɔ mpanin no hyiaa badwafoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ? Monhwɛ anwanwadeɛ a saa onipa yi reyɛ!
48 uba simyekele njalo, bonke bazakholwa kuye; amaRoma asezakuza athathe lindawo lesizwe sakithi.
Sɛ yɛma ɔkɔ so yɛ deɛ ɔreyɛ yi a, nnipa nyinaa bɛgye no adi na wɔadi nʼakyi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, Roma aban bɛbisa 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 ɛberɛ no na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfopanin no kaa sɛ, “Mo deɛ, monnim hwee!
50 futhi kalinakani ukuthi kusilungele ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, lokuthi isizwe sonke singabhubhi.
Monnim sɛ ɛyɛ ma mo sɛ onipa baako bɛwu ama nnipa no nyinaa sene sɛ wɔbɛsɛe ɔman mu no nyinaa?”
51 Kodwa kazitsholongo lokhu ngokwakhe, kodwa engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, waprofetha ukuthi uJesu uzafela lesosizwe,
Ɛmfiri ɔno ankasa ne tumi mu na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfopanin saa ɛberɛ no enti na ɔhyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, “Yesu bɛwu 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 yei so bɛma Onyankopɔn mma a wɔabɔ ahwete no nyinaa ano aboa, na wɔayɛ ɔman baako.
53 Ngakho kusukela kulolosuku benza ndawonye icebo ukuze bambulale.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Yudafoɔ mpanin no faa adwene sɛ wɔbɛkum Yesu.
54 Ngakho uJesu kabesahamba obala phakathi kwamaJuda, kodwa wasuka lapho waya elizweni eliseduze lenkangala, emzini othiwa yiEfrayimi, wasehlala khona labafundi bakhe.
Yei enti, Yesu anyi ne ho adi wɔ Yudea, na ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ ɛserɛ so kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Efraim ne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔtenaa hɔ.
55 Laselisondele iphasika lamaJuda; labanengi abavela emaphandleni benyukela eJerusalema lingakafiki iphasika, ukuze bazihlambulule.
Na Yudafoɔ Twam Afahyɛ no rebɛn enti nnipa pii fifirii wɔn nkuraaseɛ kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔdwira wɔn ho de atwɛn afahyɛ no.
56 Ngakho bamdinga uJesu, bekhulumisana bemi ethempelini besithi: Licabangani? Lithi isibili kayikuza emkhosini yini?
Na wɔrehwehwɛ Yesu ahunu no. Ɛno enti, wɔduruu asɔredan mu hɔ no, wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Mogye di sɛ Yesu bɛba afahyɛ yi bi anaa?” Ebinom kaa sɛ, “Yɛnnye nni.”
57 Kodwa bonke abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babekhuphe umlayo wokuthi uba ekhona owaziyo lapho akhona, akubike ukuze bambambe.
Saa ɛberɛ yi na asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Farisifoɔ no ahyɛ sɛ, sɛ obi nim baabi a Yesu wɔ a, ɔnkyerɛ na wɔnkɔkye no.
