Yohannis 11
1 Namichi Alʼaazaar jedhamu kan Biitaaniyaa keessa jiraatu tokko dhukkubsatee ture. Biitaaniyaan ganda Maariyaamii fi obboleettiin ishee Maartaan keessa jiraatanii dha.
Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
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 ointment, 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.
Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 Yesuusis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, “Dhibeen kun akka Ilmi Waaqaa ittiin ulfaatuuf, ulfina Waaqaatiif dhufe malee duʼaan hin gaʼu” jedhe.
When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not to death, but for 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.
When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Innis ergasii barattoota isaatiin, “Kottaa Yihuudaatti deebinaa” jedhe.
Then after that he saith to [his] disciples, Let us ho into Judea again.
8 Barattoonni isaa immoo, “Yaa Barsiisaa, Yihuudoonni dhiʼeenya kana dhagaadhaan si tumuu barbaadaa turan; ati amma illee deebitee achi dhaqxaa?” jedhaniin.
[His] disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9 Yesuusis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Guyyaan tokko saʼaatii kudha lama qaba mitii? Namni guyyaan deemu waan ifa addunyaa kanaatiin arguuf hin gufatu.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 Kan halkaniin deemu garuu sababii ifni isa keessa hin jirreef ni gufata.”
But if a man walketh in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee, “Michuun keenya Alʼaazaar rafeera; ani garuu hirribaa isa kaasuu nan dhaqa” isaaniin jedhe.
These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Barattoonni isaas, “Yaa Gooftaa, yoo rafee jiraate ni fayya” jedhaniin.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.
13 Yesuus waaʼee duʼa Alʼaazaar dubbate; barattoonni isaa garuu waan inni waaʼee rafiitii hirribaa dubbate seʼan.
Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.
14 Kanaafuu Yesuus akkana jedhee ifatti baasee isaanitti hime; “Alʼaazaar duʼeera;
Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 akka isin amantaniif ani waan achi hin turiniif waaʼee keessaniif nan gammada. Taʼus kottaa gara isaa dhaqnaa.”
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.
16 Toomaas inni Didimoos jedhamu immoo barattoota kaaniin, “Nus akka isa wajjin duunuuf kaʼaa ni dhaqnaa” jedhe.
Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Yesuus yommuu achi gaʼetti Alʼaazaar erga awwaalamee guyyaa afur akka ture beeke.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Biitaaniyaan Yerusaalem irraa gara kiiloo meetira sadii fagaatti turte;
(Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant.)
19 Yihuudoonni baayʼeen Maartaa fi Maariyaamin sababii obboleessa isaaniitiif isaan jajjabeessuu dhaqanii turan.
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Maartaan yommuu dhufaatii Yesuus dhageessetti isa simachuu gad baate; Maariyaam garuu mana teesse.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.
21 Maartaanis Yesuusiin akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa, utuu ati as jiraattee silaa obboleessi koo hin duʼu ture.
Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst 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 thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
23 Yesuusis, “Obboleessi kee ni kaʼa” jedheen.
Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Maartaanis deebiftee, “Akka inni duʼaa kaʼuu guyyaa dhumaa sanatti kaʼu anuu beeka” jetteen.
Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at 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 that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 kan na keessa jiraatuu fi kan natti amanu hundinuu bara baraan hin duʼu. Kana ni amantaa ree?” (aiōn g165)
And whoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
27 Isheenis, “Eeyyee yaa Gooftaa, akka ati Kiristoos Ilma Waaqaa kan gara addunyaa dhufu sana taate nan amana” jetteen.
She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
28 Isheenis erga akkas jettee dhaqxee obboleettii ishee Maariyaamin kophaatti waamtee, “Barsiisaan dhufeera; si waamas” jetteen.
And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 Maariyaamis yommuu waan kana dhageessetti ariitiin kaatee gara isaa dhaqxe.
As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came to him.
30 Yesuus yeroo sana iddoo Maartaan itti isa simatte ture malee amma illee ganda sana hin seenne.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that 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 with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave 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.
Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, 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 therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled;
34 Innis, “Eessa isa keessan?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Isaanis, “Yaa Gooftaa, kottuu ilaali” jedhaniin.
And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
35 Yesuusis imimmaan dhangalaase.
Jesus wept.
36 Yihuudoonnis, “Inni hammam akka isa jaallatu mee ilaalaa!” jedhan.
Then said the Jews, Behold 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.
And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Yesuus ammas akka malee jeeqamee gara awwaala sanaa dhaqe. Awwaalli sunis holqa balballi isaa dhagaadhaan cufame tokko ture.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
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, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been [dead] four days.
40 Yesuus immoo, “Ati yoo amante akka ulfina Waaqaa argitu ani sitti hin himnee?” jedheen.
Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest 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 took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and 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.”
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Yesuusis waan kana dubbatee, “Alʼaazaar, as baʼi!” jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan iyye.
And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, 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.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Kanaafuu Yihuudoota gara Maariyaam dhufanii waan Yesuus hojjete argan keessaa hedduun isatti amanan.
Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko garuu Fariisota bira dhaqanii waan Yesuus hojjete itti himan.
But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things 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 convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth 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 thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
49 Isaan keessaas namichi Qayyaaffaa jedhamu kan bara sana luba ol aanaa ture tokko akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin waan tokko illee hin beektan!
And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,
50 Sabni guutummaatti dhumuu irra namni tokko sabaaf duʼuun akka isinii wayyu hin hubattan.”
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
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;
And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 kunis ijoollee Waaqaa kanneen bittinnaaʼan walitti qabee tokko gochuuf malee saba sana qofaaf miti.
And not for that nation only, but that also he should assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Kanaafuu isaan gaafasii jalqabanii isa ajjeesuuf malachaa turan.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death.
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.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 Faasiikaan Yihuudootaa waan dhiʼaatee tureef, namoonni hedduun utuu Faasiikaan hin gaʼin of qulqulleessuuf jedhanii baadiyyaadhaa Yerusaalemitti ol baʼan.
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country to Jerusalem 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.
Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Luboonni hangafoonnii fi Fariisonni garuu Yesuusin qabuuf jedhanii namni iddoo inni jiru beeku yoo jiraate akka isaanitti himuuf ajaja kennanii turan.
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show [it], that they might take him.
