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, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village 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 had 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.
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Yesuusis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, “Dhibeen kun akka Ilmi Waaqaa ittiin ulfaatuuf, ulfina Waaqaatiif dhufe malee duʼaan hin gaʼu” jedhe.
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 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 heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Innis ergasii barattoota isaatiin, “Kottaa Yihuudaatti deebinaa” jedhe.
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Barattoonni isaa immoo, “Yaa Barsiisaa, Yihuudoonni dhiʼeenya kana dhagaadhaan si tumuu barbaadaa turan; ati amma illee deebitee achi dhaqxaa?” jedhaniin.
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there 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, “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 Kan halkaniin deemu garuu sababii ifni isa keessa hin jirreef ni gufata.”
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee, “Michuun keenya Alʼaazaar rafeera; ani garuu hirribaa isa kaasuu nan dhaqa” isaaniin jedhe.
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 Barattoonni isaas, “Yaa Gooftaa, yoo rafee jiraate ni fayya” jedhaniin.
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Yesuus waaʼee duʼa Alʼaazaar dubbate; barattoonni isaa garuu waan inni waaʼee rafiitii hirribaa dubbate seʼan.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Kanaafuu Yesuus akkana jedhee ifatti baasee isaanitti hime; “Alʼaazaar duʼeera;
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 akka isin amantaniif ani waan achi hin turiniif waaʼee keessaniif nan gammada. Taʼus kottaa gara isaa dhaqnaa.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Toomaas inni Didimoos jedhamu immoo barattoota kaaniin, “Nus akka isa wajjin duunuuf kaʼaa ni dhaqnaa” jedhe.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Yesuus yommuu achi gaʼetti Alʼaazaar erga awwaalamee guyyaa afur akka ture beeke.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Biitaaniyaan Yerusaalem irraa gara kiiloo meetira sadii fagaatti turte;
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Yihuudoonni baayʼeen Maartaa fi Maariyaamin sababii obboleessa isaaniitiif isaan jajjabeessuu dhaqanii turan.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Maartaan yommuu dhufaatii Yesuus dhageessetti isa simachuu gad baate; Maariyaam garuu mana teesse.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Maartaanis Yesuusiin akkana jette; “Yaa Gooftaa, utuu ati as jiraattee silaa obboleessi koo hin duʼu ture.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 Ammas taanaan akka waan ati Waaqa kadhattu hunda Waaqni siif kennu nan beeka.”
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Yesuusis, “Obboleessi kee ni kaʼa” jedheen.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Maartaanis deebiftee, “Akka inni duʼaa kaʼuu guyyaa dhumaa sanatti kaʼu anuu beeka” jetteen.
Martha said 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 who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 kan na keessa jiraatuu fi kan natti amanu hundinuu bara baraan hin duʼu. Kana ni amantaa ree?” (aiōn g165)
Whoever lives and believes in me will never 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 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 Isheenis erga akkas jettee dhaqxee obboleettii ishee Maariyaamin kophaatti waamtee, “Barsiisaan dhufeera; si waamas” jetteen.
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Maariyaamis yommuu waan kana dhageessetti ariitiin kaatee gara isaa dhaqxe.
When she heard this, she arose quickly 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 come into 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesuusis imimmaan dhangalaase.
Jesus wept.
36 Yihuudoonnis, “Inni hammam akka isa jaallatu mee ilaalaa!” jedhan.
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko garuu, “Inni kan ija namicha jaamaa sanaa bane, akka namichi kunis hin duune gochuu hin dandaʼu turee?” jedhan.
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 Yesuus ammas akka malee jeeqamee gara awwaala sanaa dhaqe. Awwaalli sunis holqa balballi isaa dhagaadhaan cufame tokko ture.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against 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 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 Yesuus immoo, “Ati yoo amante akka ulfina Waaqaa argitu ani sitti hin himnee?” jedheen.
Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Kanaafuu isaan dhagicha irraa kaasan. Yesuusis ol ilaalee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Abbaa, waan ati na dhageesseef sin galateeffadha.
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 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.”
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 Yesuusis waan kana dubbatee, “Alʼaazaar, as baʼi!” jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan iyye.
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
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 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 Kanaafuu Yihuudoota gara Maariyaam dhufanii waan Yesuus hojjete argan keessaa hedduun isatti amanan.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko garuu Fariisota bira dhaqanii waan Yesuus hojjete itti himan.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which 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?
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Yoo akkasumatti isa dhiifne namni hundi isatti amana; warri Roomaas dhufanii iddoo keenyaa fi saba keenya nurraa fudhatu.”
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 Isaan keessaas namichi Qayyaaffaa jedhamu kan bara sana luba ol aanaa ture tokko akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin waan tokko illee hin beektan!
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 Sabni guutummaatti dhumuu irra namni tokko sabaaf duʼuun akka isinii wayyu hin hubattan.”
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 Inni bara sana waan luba ol aanaa tureef, akka Yesuus saba sanaaf duʼu raajii dubbachuu isaati malee dubbii kana of keessaa fuudhee hin dubbanne;
Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 kunis ijoollee Waaqaa kanneen bittinnaaʼan walitti qabee tokko gochuuf malee saba sana qofaaf miti.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Kanaafuu isaan gaafasii jalqabanii isa ajjeesuuf malachaa turan.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might 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 departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Faasiikaan Yihuudootaa waan dhiʼaatee tureef, namoonni hedduun utuu Faasiikaan hin gaʼin of qulqulleessuuf jedhanii baadiyyaadhaa Yerusaalemitti ol baʼan.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from 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 with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
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 commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
