Yohani 12
1 Magono sita kwakona mselebuko wa Pasaka, Yesu ahikili ku Betania kweatamayi Lazalu, mundu yula mweamyukisi.
THEN Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Kwenuko vamtendelakili chakulya cha kimihi, Malita akavya kuvahengela. Lazalu avi mmonga wa vala vevatamili pameza pamonga na Yesu.
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Kangi Maliya akatola libotolo la pinga la mahuta geginungalila bwina, gegatenganizwi kwa mkongo wa nado, gegiguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele, akamnyala Yesu mumagendelu na kuhungula kwa mayunju gaki. Nyumba yoha yikanungalila mahuta gala.
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Nambu Yuda Isikalioti mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vala ndi mweabweli kumng'anamukila Yesu, akajova,
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
5 Ndava kyani mahuta ago gaguliswi lepi kwa hipandi miya zidatu ya madini ga feza, vapewayi vangangu.
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Ajovili genago lepi ndava ya lipyana kwa vangangu, nambu avi mvika kahaku ka mashonga. Na pamahele ayivayi mashonga gegavikwayi mu kahaku kala muni avi mhiji.
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Nambu Yesu akajova, “Mkoto kumung'aha mau mwenuyu! Muleka agavika ndava ya ligono la kunizika.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 Vangangu yati mwivya nawu magono goha, nambu mwivya lepi na nene magono goha.”
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9 Vayawudi vamahele vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi ku Betania. Vakahika kwenuko lepi ndava ya kumlola Yesu ndi ndava ya kumlola Lazalu mweayukiswi na Yesu.
Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Hinu Vamteta vakulu mewawa vayidakilini kumkoma lazalu.
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 Ndava ya kuyukiswa kwa Lazalu Vayawudi vamahele vavabelili vachilongosi wavi, vakamsadika Yesu.
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Chilau yaki, msambi uvaha wa vandu vevabwelili kumselebuko vakayuwana Yesu avi munjila kubwela pa Yelusalemu.
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Hinu vakatola matutu ga mavali, vakawuka kuhamba kumpokela, vakajova kwa lwami luvaha. “Chapanga alumbiwa! Amotisiwa mwenuyo mweibwela kwa liina la Bambu. Amotisiwa Nkosi wa Isilaeli.”
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 Yesu akapewa mwana lipunda, akakwela panani yaki ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi.
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 “Vandu va muji wa Siyoni mkotoka kuyogopa! Ulola, Nkosi waku ibwela. Akweli mwana lipunda!”
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 Vawuliwa vaki nakumanya mambu ago, nambu Yesu peamali kupewa ukulu, ndi vakamanya kuvya gala gamali kuyandikwa kumvala mwene, kuvya vandu vamkitili genago.
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 Msambi wa vandu vala vevavi pamonga na Yesu ligono leamkemili Lazalu kuhuma mulitinda, amyukisi. Vavajovili vandu mambu gala gegahumalili.
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 Ndava ya yeniyo msambi wa vandu ukahamba kumpokela, muni vayuwini kuvya akitili chinamtiti chenicho.
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 Hinu Vafalisayu vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, mwilola? Nakuhotola kukita chochoha! Mlolayi, vandu voha va mulima vakumlanda.”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Kwavi na Vagiliki vadebe pagati ya vandu vala vevahikili ku Yelusalemu kumfugamila lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa pasaka.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 Venavo vamhambili Filipi, mkolonjinji wa Betisaida mweavili pamulima wa Galilaya, vakajova “Mtopeswa tete tigana kumlola Yesu.”
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Filipi akahamba kumjovela Andelea, voha vavili vakahamba kumjovela Yesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Yesu akavajovela, “Saa ya Mwana wa Mundu kupewa ukulu yihikili.”
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Chakaka nikujovela, mbeyu ya nganu yisigalila kuvya mbeyu ndu, mbaka yigwai muludaka na kufwa. Ngati yikafwayi ndi yimela na kupambika mbeyu yamahele.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 Mundu yoyoha mweakuugana wumi waki yati akuuyagisa, nambu mundu yoyoha mweakuuyomela wumi waki pamulima apa, akuuvika wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mundu mweigana kunihengala yikumgana kunilanda, mewa pala penivya nene, ndi peivya mtangatila wangu. Mundu akanihengelayi nene Dadi wangu yati akumtopesa.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 “Hinu mpungu wangu uvagaya, nijova wuli? ‘Dadi unisangulayi na lukumbi lwenulo?’ Nambu ndava ya genago nibwelili muni nipitilayi lukumbi ulu lwa mang'ahiso.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Dadi, ugubukula ukulu waku.” Penapo lwami lukajova kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, “Nimali kuugubukula ukulu wangu na yati nikuugubukula kavili.”
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Msambi wa vandu vevayimili penapo vayuwini lwami lula, nambu vangi vavi vakajova, mbulumu na vangi vakajova “Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga alongili naku!”
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Malovi gemuyuwini lepi ndava ya nene, nambu ndava ya nyenye.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Hinu ndi lukumbi lwa vandu va mulima uwu kuhamuliwa, Setani mweavi chilongosi wa mulima uwu yati ivingiwa.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Nene peniyinuliwa panani kuhuma pamulima yati kila mmonga yati ihutika kwangu.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 Ajovili genago kulangisa lifwa leifwa.
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 Hinu, msambi wa vandu wula ukamyangula “Tete tijoviwi na malagizu gitu kuvya Kilisitu yati ilama magono goha. Hinu uhotola wuli, kujova yikumgana Mwana wa Mundu kuyinuliwa? Mwana wa mundu mwenuyo ndi yani?” (aiōn g165)
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu akavajovela, “Lumuli lwakona na nyenye mu lukumbi luhupi. Mgenda kwakona muvi nalu lumuli lwenulo muni chitita chikoto kuvakolela, muni mweigenda muchitita angamanya kweihamba.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Lukumbi muvi na lumuli mwasadiki lumuli lwenulo muni mpata kuvya vandu va lumuli.” Peamali kujova malovi genago, Yesu akawuka mwene na kuhamba kujifiya patali na vandu.
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 Nambu pamonga Yesu ahengili gachinamtiti goha palongolo yavi, vene vamsadiki lepi.
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 Hinu malovi geajovili Isaya mweavili mlota wa Chapanga gakatimalila. “Bambu, yani mweasadiki ujumbi witu? Na uhotola wa Bambu agubukuliwi yani?”
That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Mewa vangahotola kusadika ndava Isaya ajovili kavili,
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 “Chapanga agakoywisi mihu gavi Avahimwisi luhala lwavi. Vakoto kulola kwa mihu gavi. Vakoto kumanya kwa luhala lwavi. Nambu vakoto kuniwuyila. Muni nivalamisa.”
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Isaya ajovili ndava auwene ukulu wa Yesu na kujova ndava ya Yesu.
These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Pamonga na ago, vachilongosi vamahele va Vayawudi vamsadiki Yesu. Nambu ndava ya kuvayogopa Vafalisayu nakujova hotohoto. Vayogwipi kuvingiwa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi.
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 Ndava muni vachilongosi avo vaganili kukwihiwa na vandu kuliku kukwihiwa na Chapanga.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Kangi Yesu akajova, kwa lwami luvaha, “Mundu mweakunisadika nene, akunisadika lepi namwene ndu, mewawa akumsadika yula mweanitumili nene.
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 Mweakunilola nene mewawa akumlola yula mweanitumili.
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 Nene nibwelili pamulima muni nivyayi lumuli, mundu yoyoha mweakunisadika akotoka kusigalila muchitita.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 Mundu yoyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu, na akugahengela lepi, nene nikumuhamula lepi. Muni nibweli hee ndava ya kuvahamula vandu va mumulima nambu kuvasangula.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Yula mweakunibela nene, mweangayidakila malovi gangu avi naku wa kumuhamula. Malovi ga Yesu yati gakuvahamula vandu ligono la mwishu.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Nene nakujova kwa uhotola wangu namwene, nambu Dadi mweanitumili ndi mweanijovela nijova kyani na cheyiganikiwa kuvajovela vandu.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
