Yohana 12
1 Siku sita kabla ya Pasaka, Yesu kayenda Bethani kwa abile Lazaro, ywembe ywabile atikumfufua boka mu kiwo.
Therefore six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the man who died whom he raised from the dead.
2 Bai kabamwandalia chakulya cha kitamwinyo, ni Martha atikuntumikya, wakati woo Lazaro abile yumo wa balo batamile mu'chakulya pamope ni Yesu.
So they made a supper for him there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat dining with him.
3 Boka po Mariamu atitola rati ya manukato gapangitwe kwa nardo safi, yabile ya thamani ngolo, atikumpaka Yesu mumagolo, ni kunputa magolo kwa nywili yake; nyumba yoti yatinungya harufu ya galo manukato.
Mary therefore, after taking a pound of ointment of very costly genuine spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled of the aroma of the ointment.
4 Yuda Iskariote, yumo ywa balo anapunzi bake, ywabile nga ywaamsaliti Yesu, kabaya,
Therefore one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, the man who was going to betray him, says,
5 “Kwa mwanja namani manukato aga gapemewa kwa dinari mia tatu ni kuapeya maskini?”
Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 Ni ywembe ywabaya ago, nga kwa kubahurumia kwaa maskini, ila kwa sababu abile mwii: ywembe nga ywakamwile mpuko wa mbanje ni abile atitola baadhi ya ibekwile moo kwa ajili yake mwene.
Now he said this, not because it was a concern to him about the poor, but because he was a thief, and he had the purse and removed things that were put in.
7 Yesu abayite, “Nleke abeke chaabile nacho kwa ajili ya lisoba lya masiko yango.
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone. She has keep it for the day of my burial.
8 Maskini mwabile nabo masoba yoti; lakini mwatama kwaa ni nenga masoba yoti.”
For ye always have the poor with you, but ye do not always have me.
9 Bai kipenga kikolo sa ayahudi bayowine kuwa Yesu abile kwoo, nabo baisile, kwa ajili ya Yesu, ili bamlole ni Lazaro ywamfufue Yesu kuoma mu'kiwo.
Therefore a great multitude of the Jews knew that he is there. And they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they might also see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Na akolo wa Makuhani kabapanga shauri ili wamukage Lazaro;
But the chief priests decided that they should kill Lazarus also,
11 mana kwa ajili yake banyansima mu'uyahudi batiyenda na kumwaminiya Yesu.
since because of him many of the Jews were going and were believing in Jesus.
12 Na lisoba lya ibele kipenga kikolo sa bandu saisile mu'sikukuu. Kabaypwine kuwa Yesu andaisa Yerusalemu,
On the morrow a great multitude having come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Kabatola matawi ya nkowa wa ntende ni kuoma panja kuyenda kumlaki ni kukombwa lilobe, “Hosana! Atibarikiwa ywembe ywaisa kwa lina lya Ngwana, Mpwalume wa Israeli.”
took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
14 Yesu ampatike mwana mponda ni kumpanda: kati yaiandikilwe,
And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written,
15 “Kana uyogope, binti Sayuni; linga. Mpwalume bako andaisa, atikumpanda mwana mbonda.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, thy King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.
16 Anapunzi bake baelewite kwaa makowe aga apo kwanza; lakini Yesu paatukuzwe, nga kabakombokya ya kuwa makowe aga gatiandikilwa ywembe na ya kuwa bapangite makowe aga kwake.
Now his disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these were things written because of him, and they did these things to him.
17 Bai lelo likundi lya bandu babile pamope ni Yesu wakati paakemile Lazaro kuoma mu'likaburi, kabashuhudia kwa wenge.
Therefore the multitude, the one that was with him when he called Lazarus from the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead, testified.
18 Na yabile kwa sababu yee kuwa likundi lya bandu baisile kumlaki kwa sababu bayowine kuwa aipangite ishara yee.
Also because of this the multitude met him, because they heard of him doing this sign.
19 Mafarisayo kababakiyana bene kwa bene, “Linga nambeambe muweza kwaa kupanga lolote; linga ulimwengu uyendike kwake.”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye see that ye accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.
20 Nambeambe baadhi ya Ayunani babile nkati ya balo babile batiyenda ku'sikukuu.
Now some Greeks were from those who came up so that they might worship at the feast.
21 Aba kabamwendea Filipo, ywabile aboka Bethsaida ya Galilaya, kabanloba bakibaya, “Ngwana, twenga twatamaniya kumwona Yesu.”
These men therefore came to Philip, the man from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we want to see Jesus.
22 Filipo kayenda kummakiya Andrea; Andrea ni Filipo kabayenda kummakiya Yesu.
Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Yesu kaayangwa ni kubaya, “Saa iikite kwa ajili ya mwana wa Adamu kutukuzwa.
And Jesus answered them saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Amini, amini, naabakiya, chembe ya ngano mana itei itomboka kwaa mu'nnema na waa, utama nyonyonyoo kichake; ila mana itiwaa, ipambika matunda ganyansima.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat that falls into the ground dies, it remains alone, but if it dies it bears much fruit.
25 Ywembe ywaupenda uhai wake alowa kuupoteza; ila ywembe ywauchukyanga uhai wake mu'ulimwengu woo alowa kuusalimisha hata ukoto wange yomoka. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mundu yoyote ywanitumikiya nenga, na anikengame, nenga panibile, nga na mmanda wango apalikwa kuwa. Mundu yeyote ywanitumikiya, Tate alowa kumweshimu.
If any man serves me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my helper will also be. And if any man serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Nambeambe roho yango itifadhaika; nenga nabaya kinamani?'Tate unilopwe mu'saa yee?' Lakini ni kwa kusudi lee niikite saa yee.
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.
28 Tate, ulitukuze lina lyako,” Boka po lilobe liisile kuboka kumaunde no baya, “Natikulitukuza na nenga natikulitukuza kae.”
Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came out of heaven, saying, I both glorified it, and I will glorify again.
29 Bai bandu bayemite papipi ni ywembe kabayowa ni kubaya kuwa kwabile ni ngurumo. Wenge watibaya, “Malaika atilongela na ywembe.”
The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said thunder occurred, others said, An agent has spoken to him.
30 Yesu kaayangwa no baya, “Lilobe lee lyaisilee kwaa kwa ajili yango, ila kwa ajili yinu.
Jesus answered and said, This voice occurred not for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Nambeambe hukumu ya ulimwengu woo ibile: Nambeambe nkolo wa ulimwengu woo alowa tekwanilwa panja.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 Na nenga mana niinuliwe nnani ya nnema, nalowa kuwavuta woti kwango.”
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.
33 Atibaya nyoo akibabonekeya aina ya kiwo alowa waa.
And he said this, signifying by what death he was going to die.
34 Bandu kabanyangwa, “Twenga tuyowine mu'saliya ya kuwa Kristo alowa tama hata milele. Ni wenga wabaya kinamani, “Mwana wa Adamu lazima ainulilwe kunani? Ayoo mwana wa Adamu ywa nyai?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ remains into the age. And how can thou say, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Bai Yesu kaamakiya, “Bweya ibile pamope ni mwenga muda nchunu. Muyendeli maadamu mubile ni bweya, ili libendo kana liise kwaa kubaweza. Ywembe ywayenda mu'libendo atangite kwaa paaayenda.
Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. And he who walks in the darkness knows not where he is going.
36 Mwabile mu'bweya, muiamini bweya yee ili mpate kuwa bana ba bweya.” Yesu kaabaya aga na boka poo kayenda kuificha kna bamweni.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, so that ye may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, and after departing, he was hid from them.
37 Ingawa Yesu apangite ishara zanyansima namna yee nnonge yabe, bado bamwaminiye kwaa.
But although having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,
38 Ili litimye neno lya nabii Isaya, abayite: “Ngwana, ywa nyai ywa sadiki habari yitu? Ni luboko lwa Ngwana atifunulilwa nyai?”
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet that he spoke might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Nga sababu bembe baaminiye kwaa, maana Isaya abayite kae,
Because of this they could not believe. Because Isaiah said again,
40 “Atikwapanga ipofu mu minyo yabe, na aipangite mioyo yabe migumu, ili bamweni kwaa mu'minyo yabe ni kuyatanga kwa mioyo yabe, ni kabalopolelwa ni nenga kuwaponya.”
He has blinded their eyes, and has hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be turned, and I would heal them.
41 Isaya abayite maneno ago kwa kuwa aubweni utukufu wa Yesu ni atilongela habari zake.
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke about him.
42 Lakini hata akolo banansima batikumwamini Yesu; ila kwa sababu ya Mafarisayo, kabakiri kwaa ili kana batengwe na lisinagogi.
Yet, nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess, so that they would not become excommunicated from the synagogue,
43 Bapendike sifa za bandu kuliko sifa zibokite kwa Nnongo
for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Yesu kakombwa lilobe no baya, “Ywembe ywaaniminiye nenga, aniaminiye kwaa nenga kichangu ila ni ywembe ywanitumile nenga.
And Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 ni ywembe ywaanibona nenga ambona ni ywembe ywaanitumile.
And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Nenga niisile kati bweya ya ulimwengu ila kila mundu ywaniaminiye nenga atame kwaa mu'libendo.
I have come a light into the world, so that every man who believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Mana itei mundu ywoywoti ywaayowine maneno yango lakini kana agakamwe, nenga nalowa kumhukumu; mana niisile kwaa kuhukumu ulimwengu ila kuulopwa ulimwengu.
And if any man hears my sayings, and will not believe, I do not judge him, for I came not so that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 Yeyote ywanipala kwaa nenga kana ayakubali maneno yango, abile ni ywamuhukumu: neno lee nalibayite nga lalowa kumhukumu lisoba lya mwisho.
He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings, has that which judges him: the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day.
49 Mana nenga nabaya kwaa kwa nafsi yango kae. Ila ni Tate ywanipeleki, ywembe mwene ywanitumile kugabaya yanilongela.
Because I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
