Yohannis 11
1 Namichi Alʼaazaar jedhamu kan Biitaaniyaa keessa jiraatu tokko dhukkubsatee ture. Biitaaniyaan ganda Maariyaamii fi obboleettiin ishee Maartaan keessa jiraatanii dha.
Now, one Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 Maariyaam isheen obboleessi ishee Alʼaazaar dhukkubsate kun, isheedhuma Gooftaa shittoo dibdee rifeensa mataa isheetiin miilla isaa haqxee sanaa dha.
(It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with balsam, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Kanaaf obboleettonni isaa, “Yaa Gooftaa, inni ati jaallattu kunoo dhukkubsatee jira” jedhanii Yesuusitti dhaaman.
The sisters, therefore, sent to tell Jesus, Master, lo! he whom you love, is sick.
4 Yesuusis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, “Dhibeen kun akka Ilmi Waaqaa ittiin ulfaatuuf, ulfina Waaqaatiif dhufe malee duʼaan hin gaʼu” jedhe.
Jesus hearing it, said, This sickness will not prove fatal; but conduce to the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 Yesuusis Maartaa fi obboleettii ishee, Alʼaazaarinis ni jaallata ture.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Innis yommuu akka Alʼaazaar dhukkubsate dhagaʼetti guyyaa lama idduma jiru sana ture.
Having, then, heard that he was sick, Jesus staid two days in the place where he was.
7 Innis ergasii barattoota isaatiin, “Kottaa Yihuudaatti deebinaa” jedhe.
Afterward, he said to the disciples, Let us return to Judea.
8 Barattoonni isaa immoo, “Yaa Barsiisaa, Yihuudoonni dhiʼeenya kana dhagaadhaan si tumuu barbaadaa turan; ati amma illee deebitee achi dhaqxaa?” jedhaniin.
The disciples answered, Rabbi, but very lately the Jews would have stoned you, and you would return thither?
9 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Guyyaan tokko saʼaatii kudha lama qaba mitii? Namni guyyaan deemu waan ifa addunyaa kanaatiin arguuf hin gufatu.
Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not: because he sees the light of the world:
10 Kan halkaniin deemu garuu sababii ifni isa keessa hin jirreef ni gufata.”
but if he walk in the night, he stumbles; because there is no light.
11 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee, “Michuun keenya Alʼaazaar rafeera; ani garuu hirribaa isa kaasuu nan dhaqa” isaaniin jedhe.
Having spoken this, he added, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to wake him.
12 Barattoonni isaas, “Yaa Gooftaa, yoo rafee jiraate ni fayya” jedhaniin.
Then said his disciples, Master, if he sleep, he will recover.
13 Yesuus waaʼee duʼa Alʼaazaar dubbate; barattoonni isaa garuu waan inni waaʼee rafiitii hirribaa dubbate seʼan.
Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 Kanaafuu Yesuus akkana jedhee ifatti baasee isaanitti hime; “Alʼaazaar duʼeera;
Then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 akka isin amantaniif ani waan achi hin turiniif waaʼee keessaniif nan gammada. Taʼus kottaa gara isaa dhaqnaa.”
And on your account I am glad that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him.
16 Toomaas inni Didimoos jedhamu immoo barattoota kaaniin, “Nus akka isa wajjin duunuuf kaʼaa ni dhaqnaa” jedhe.
Then Thomas, that is, Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us go, that we may die with him.
17 Yesuus yommuu achi gaʼetti Alʼaazaar erga awwaalamee guyyaa afur akka ture beeke.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.
18 Biitaaniyaan Yerusaalem irraa gara kiiloo meetira sadii fagaatti turte;
Now, (Bethany being about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem, )
19 Yihuudoonni baayʼeen Maartaa fi Maariyaamin sababii obboleessa isaaniitiif isaan jajjabeessuu dhaqanii turan.
many of the Jews came to Martha, and Mary, to comfort them on the death of their brother.
20 Maartaan yommuu dhufaatii Yesuus dhageessetti isa simachuu gad baate; Maariyaam garuu mana teesse.
Martha having heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary remained in the house.
21 Maartaanis Yesuusiin akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa, utuu ati as jiraattee silaa obboleessi koo hin duʼu ture.
Then Martha said to Jesus, Master, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
22 Ammas taanaan akka waan ati Waaqa kadhattu hunda Waaqni siif kennu nan beeka.”
But I know that even now, whatever you shall ask of God, God will give you.
23 Yesuusis, “Obboleessi kee ni kaʼa” jedheen.
Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.
24 Maartaanis deebiftee, “Akka inni duʼaa kaʼuu guyyaa dhumaa sanatti kaʼu anuu beeka” jetteen.
Martha replied, I know that he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day.
25 Yesuus immoo akkana isheedhaan jedhe; “Duʼaa kaʼuu fi jireenyi ana. Namni natti amanu yoo duʼe iyyuu ni jiraata;
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes on me, though he were dead, shall live;
26 kan na keessa jiraatuu fi kan natti amanu hundinuu bara baraan hin duʼu. Kana ni amantaa ree?” (aiōn g165)
and no man who lives and believes on me, shall ever die. Do you believe this? (aiōn g165)
27 Isheenis, “Eeyyee yaa Gooftaa, akka ati Kiristoos Ilma Waaqaa kan gara addunyaa dhufu sana taate nan amana” jetteen.
She answered, Yes, Master, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, He who comes into the world.
28 Isheenis erga akkas jettee dhaqxee obboleettii ishee Maariyaamin kophaatti waamtee, “Barsiisaan dhufeera; si waamas” jetteen.
Having said this, she went and called Mary, her sister, aside, saying, The Teacher is come, and calls for you.
29 Maariyaamis yommuu waan kana dhageessetti ariitiin kaatee gara isaa dhaqxe.
When Mary heard this, she instantly rose and went to him.
30 Yesuus yeroo sana iddoo Maartaan itti isa simatte ture malee amma illee ganda sana hin seenne.
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Yihuudoonni Maariyaamin jajjabeessaa mana keessa ishee wajjin turanis yommuu akka isheen ariitiidhaan kaatee gad baate arganitti waan isheen achitti booʼuuf jettee gara awwaalaa dhaqxu seʼanii ishee duukaa buʼan.
The Jews, then, who were condoling with Mary in the house, when they saw that she arose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Maariyaamis yommuu iddoo Yesuus ture sana geessee isa argitetti, miilla isaa irratti kuftee, “Yaa Gooftaa utuu ati as jiraattee silaa obboleessi koo hin duʼu ture” jetteen.
Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, and seeing him, threw herself at his feet, saying, Had you be here, Master, my brother had not died.
33 Yesuusis yommuu booʼuu ishee, Yihuudoonni ishee wajjin dhufanis booʼuu isaanii argetti hafuuraan akka malee jeeqame; ni dhiphates.
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping, who came with her, he groaned deeply, and was troubled,
34 Innis, “Eessa isa keessan?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Isaanis, “Yaa Gooftaa, kottuu ilaali” jedhaniin.
and said, Where have you laid him? They answered, and said, Master, come and see.
35 Yesuusis imimmaan dhangalaase.
Jesus wept.
36 Yihuudoonnis, “Inni hammam akka isa jaallatu mee ilaalaa!” jedhan.
The Jews, therefore, said, Mark how he loved him.
37 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko garuu, “Inni kan ija namicha jaamaa sanaa bane, akka namichi kunis hin duune gochuu hin dandaʼu turee?” jedhan.
But some of them said, Could not he who gave sight to the blind man, even have prevented this man's death?
38 Yesuus ammas akka malee jeeqamee gara awwaala sanaa dhaqe. Awwaalli sunis holqa balballi isaa dhagaadhaan cufame tokko ture.
Jesus, therefore, again, groaning, came to the tomb. It was a cave, the entrance of which was shut up with a stone.
39 Yesuusis, “Dhagaa kana achi irraa fuudhaa!” jedhe. Maartaan obboleettiin isa duʼe sanaa garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, inni erga awwaalamee waan guyyaa afur tureef yoona ni ajaaʼa” jetteen.
Jesus said, Remove the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, answered, Sir, by this time, the smell is offensive, for this is the fourth day.
40 Yesuus immoo, “Ati yoo amante akka ulfina Waaqaa argitu ani sitti hin himnee?” jedheen.
Jesus replied, Did I not say to you, If you believe, you shall see the glory of God?
41 Kanaafuu isaan dhagicha irraa kaasan. Yesuusis ol ilaalee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Abbaa, waan ati na dhageesseef sin galateeffadha.
Then they removed the stone. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 Akka ati yeroo hunda na dhageessu ani beekeera; garuu akka namoonni as dhadhaabatan kunneen akka ati na ergite amananiif ani isaaniif jedheen waan kana dubbadhe.”
As for me, I know that thou hearest me always; but I speak, for the people's sake who surround me, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Yesuusis waan kana dubbatee, “Alʼaazaar, as baʼi!” jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan iyye.
After these words, raising his voice, he cried, Lazarus, come forth!
44 Namichi duʼe sunis akkuma harki isaatii fi miilli isaa huccuudhaan kafanamee, fuulli isaas wayyaadhaan marametti gad baʼe. Yesuusis, “Isa hiikaa, haa deemu” isaaniin jedhe.
He who had been dead, came forth, bound hand and foot with fillets, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.
45 Kanaafuu Yihuudoota gara Maariyaam dhufanii waan Yesuus hojjete argan keessaa hedduun isatti amanan.
Many, therefore, of the Jews, who had come to Mary, and seen what he did, believed on him.
46 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko garuu Fariisota bira dhaqanii waan Yesuus hojjete itti himan.
But some of the repaired to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Kana irratti luboonni hangafoonnii fi Fariisonni yaaʼii Yihuudootaa waaman. Isaanis akkana jedhanii gaafatan; “Namichi kun mallattoo baayʼee argisiisaa jira. Maal haa goonu?
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? for this man works many miracles.
48 Yoo akkasumatti isa dhiifne namni hundi isatti amana; warri Roomaas dhufanii iddoo keenyaa fi saba keenya nurraa fudhatu.”
If we let him go on thus, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and our nation.
49 Isaan keessaas namichi Qayyaaffaa jedhamu kan bara sana luba ol aanaa ture tokko akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin waan tokko illee hin beektan!
One of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You are utterly at a loss,
50 Sabni guutummaatti dhumuu irra namni tokko sabaaf duʼuun akka isinii wayyu hin hubattan.”
and do not consider, that it is better for us that one man die for the people, than that the whole nation should be ruined.
51 Inni bara sana waan luba ol aanaa tureef, akka Yesuus saba sanaaf duʼu raajii dubbachuu isaati malee dubbii kana of keessaa fuudhee hin dubbanne;
This he spoke, not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 kunis ijoollee Waaqaa kanneen bittinnaaʼan walitti qabee tokko gochuuf malee saba sana qofaaf miti.
and not for that nation only, but that he should assemble into one body the dispersed children of God.
53 Kanaafuu isaan gaafasii jalqabanii isa ajjeesuuf malachaa turan.
From that day, therefore, they concerted how they might destroy him.
54 Kanaafuu Yesuus ifatti baʼee Yihuudoota gidduu hin deddeebine. Achii kaʼee gara magaalaa Efreem jedhamu kan gammoojjiitti dhiʼaatu tokkoo dhaqe; barattoota isaa wajjinis achi ture.
For that reason, Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews, but retired to the country, near the desert, to a city called Ephraim; and continued there with his disciples.
55 Faasiikaan Yihuudootaa waan dhiʼaatee tureef, namoonni hedduun utuu Faasiikaan hin gaʼin of qulqulleessuuf jedhanii baadiyyaadhaa Yerusaalemitti ol baʼan.
Meantime, the Jewish passover approached, and many went to Jerusalem from the country, before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Isaanis Yesuusin barbaadaa turan; mana qulqullummaa keessas dhaabatanii, “Isin maal seetu? Inni gara Ayyaana kanaa hin dhufuu laata?” waliin jedhan.
These inquired after Jesus, and said, one to another, as they stood in the temple, What do you think? Will he not come to the festival?
57 Luboonni hangafoonnii fi Fariisonni garuu Yesuusin qabuuf jedhanii namni iddoo inni jiru beeku yoo jiraate akka isaanitti himuuf ajaja kennanii turan.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that whosoever knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might apprehend him.
