Yohani 11
1 Mundu mmonga liina laki Lazalu avi mtamu. Mundu mwenuyo avili mkolonjinji wa Betania, valumbu vaki Maliya na Malita vatamayi chijiji chila.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Maliya ndi yula mweamnyalili Bambu mahuta geginungalila bwina mumagendelu gaki na kumuungula na mayunju gaki. Lazalu mweavimtamu ndi mhaja wa Maliya.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Hinu, valumbu vala vatumili ujumbi kwa Yesu. “Bambu, nkozi waku mtamu!”
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Yesu mwene peagayuwini genago, akajova, “Utamu wenuwu wileta lepi lifwa, uhumalili muni Chapanga apewa ukulu na Mwana wa Chapanga mewa apewa ukulu.”
But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Yesu avaganili Malita na Maliya pamonga na mlongo wavi Lazalu.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Peayuwini kuvya Lazalu mtamu, Yesu akahamba kutama peavili magono gavili.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Tihamba kavili ku Yudea!”
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Vawuliwa vala vakamjovela, “Muwula, lukumbi luhupi ndu lupitili Vayawudi vaganili kukukoma na maganga, hinu wigana kuhamba kwenuko kavili?”
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Yesu akavayangula “Wu, kuvi lepi masaa kumi na gavili ga muhi? Hinu mundu akagendayi muhi nakuhotola kujikuvala ndava ihotola kulola lumuli lwa mulima.
Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Nambu mundu akagendayi kilu akujikuvala ndava muni kawaka lumuli.”
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11 Yesu peamali kujova malovi genago, akavajovela “Nkozi witu Lazalu agonili, nambu nene yati nihamba kumuyumusa.”
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12 Vawuliwa vaki vakamjovela, “Bambu yikavya agonili yati ilama.”
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Vene vaholalili kuvya ajovili kugona lugono, nambu Yesu ajovili kumvala lifwa la Lazalu.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Ndi Yesu akavajovela hotohoto kuvya “Lazalu afwili,
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Nambu ndava yinu nivii na luheku ndava navi lepi kwenuko, muni musadika. Hinu tihamba kwa Lazalu.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Tomasi mweikemelewa mpaha, akavajovela vawuliwa vayaki, “Tihamba na tete tikafwayi pamonga na Yesu!”
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Yesu peahikili kwenuko, amkolili Lazalu amali kuvya mulitinda magono mcheche.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Chijiji cha Betania chavi papipi na Yelusalemu, utali waki wavi kilomita zidatu.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Vayawudi vamahele vahikili kwa Malita na Maliya kuvapolesa mitima ndava mhaja wavi afwili.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Hinu, Malita peayuwini kuvya Yesu ibwela, akahamba kumpokela, nambu Maliya asigalili kunyumba.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Malita amjovili Yesu, “Bambu, Ngati ngauvyayi apa, mhaja wangu ngaafwili lepi.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 Nambu nimanyili kuvya hati hinu, chochoha cheukumuyupa Chapanga yati akupela.”
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Yesu akamjovela, “Mhaja waku yati iyuka.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Malita akayangula, “Nimanyili kuvya yati iyuka lukumbi Chapanga peakuvayukisa vevafwili.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Yesu akamjovela, “Nene ndi mweniyukisa vandu na kuvapela vandu wumi. Mweakunisadika nene hati ngati afwili, yati itama,
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Malita akayangula “Ena Bambu! Nene nisadika kuvya veve ndi Kilisitu, Mwana wa Chapanga, yula mweibwela pamulima.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 Peamalii kujova genago, Malita akahamba kumkemela mlumbu waki Maliya, akamjovela pachiepela, “Muwula avi penapa, akukemela.”
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Maliya peayuwini malovi ago, bahapo akayima kanyata akamuhambila Yesu.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Yesu avi akona kuyingila pachijiji, ndi avi pandu palapala pavakonganiki na Malita.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Vayawudi vevampolesa mtima Maliya panyumba pala, pavamuwene Maliya awukili chigafula, vakamlanda. Vaholalili kuvya ihamba kuvemba kulitinda.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Maliya peahikili pandu pala peavili Yesu na kumlola akamfugamila, akamjovela, “Bambu ngati kuvya uvya apa, mhaja wangu ngaafwili lepi!”
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
33 Yesu peamuwene Maliya ivemba na Vayawudi vevamlandili mewa vivemba, ndi akavya ngolongondi na kuviniswa mumtima.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 Kangi akavakota, “Mumvikili koki?” Vakamjovela “Bambu, ubwela ulolayi.”
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesu akavemba maholi.
Jesus wept.
36 Hinu, Vayawudi vakajova, “Mlola cheamganili Lazalu!”
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Nambu vangi vakajova, “Wu, mwenuyu ndi yula mweamdindwili mihu ngalola, hinu ahotwili lepi kukita Lazalu akoto kufwa?”
Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Yesu iviniswa mtima kavili, akahika kulitinda. Litinda lene lavi mbugu levadivalili liganga pamlyangu waki.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Yesu akavajovela, “Muwusa liganga lenili!” Malita mlumbu wa yula mweafwili akamjovela. “Bambu atumbwili kununga muni atamii mulitinda mula magono mcheche!”
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Yesu akamjovela, “Wu, nene nakujovili lepi ukasadika yati ulola ukulu wa Chapanga?”
Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Ndi vakaliwusa liganga lila. Yesu akalolokesa kunani kwa Chapanga, akajova “Dadi nikusengusa muni ukuniyuwana.
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Nimanyili kuvya ukuniyuwana magono goha. Nambu nijovili genaga ndava ya vandu vevavi apa vasadikayi kuvya veve ndi mweunitumili.”
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 Peamali kujova genago, Akakemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Lazalu! Huma kuvala!”
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mweafwili yula akahuma kuvala, kuni vamtindisili nyula ya msopi mumagendelu na mumawoko na pamihu poha. Yesu akavajovela, “Mumnyembelula, mumleka ahamba mwene.”
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
45 Vayawudi vamahele vevabwelili kwa Maliya na kulilola lijambu leahengili Yesu. Ndi vakamsadika.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Nambu vangi vavi vakahamba kwa Vafalisayu vakavadandaulila lijambu leahengili Yesu.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Vakulu va kuteta na Vafalisayu vakakonganeka na vandu Libanji la Vayawudi vakakota, “Tikita wuli? Mundu uyu ihenga milangisu yamahele neju.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Takamlekayi vandu voha yati vamsadika, na vakulu va ku Loma yati vibwela na kudenya Nyumba yitu ya Chapanga pamonga na mulima na vandu vitu!”
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Mmonga wavi liina laki Kayafa, mweavi Mkulu wa Vateta wa mwaka wenuwo, akavajovela, “Nyenye nakumanya chindu!
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 Mwimanya lepi, ndi mbanga pagati yinu mundu mmonga afwayi ndava ya vandu, kuliku vandu voha va mulima witu vakomiwayi?”
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 Mwene ajovili lepi kwa luhala lwaki, nambu ndava avi Mteta mkulu mwaka wenuwo, ndi alotili kuvya Yesu yati ifwa ndava ya Vayawudi,
Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 lepi ndava ya Vayawudi vene ndu, nambu mewa ndava ya vandu voha va Chapanga vevapechangini, muni avaletayi pamonga na kuvakita vavyayi na umonga.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Kutumbula ligono lenilo vachilongosi va Vayawudi vayidakilini kumkoma Yesu.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Hinu Yesu agendili lepi hotohoto pagati ya Vayawudi, akawuka pandu pala akahamba pandu pepavi papipi na lugangatu. Pamuji wewukemelewa Efulaimu. Akatama kwenuko pamonga na vawuliwa vaki.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Mselebuko wa Vayawudi Pasaka wavi papipi, na vandu vamahele vahambili ku Yelusalemu muni vahenga malagizu ga kujinyambisa vene muni kumuyupa Chapanga, kwakona mselebuko wenuwo.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Vakavya kumulonda Yesu. Pevakonganiki pamonga Panyumba ya Chapanga. Vakakotana, “Yivya wuli? Yilolekana ibwela lepi pa mselebuko wenuwu? Amala wuli?”
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
57 Vakulu va kuteta na Vafalisayu valagazili kuvya mundu akamanyayi kweavili Yesu, avajovelayi muni vamukamulayi.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
