Yohannis 12
1 Faasiikaa dura guyyaa jaʼaffaatti Yesuus gara Biitaaniyaa ganda Alʼaazaar, kan Yesuus duʼaa isa kaase sun jiraachaa turee dhaqe.
Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
2 Achitti irbaata qopheessaniif. Maartaanis ni tajaajilti turte; Alʼaazaaris warra isa wajjin irbaatatti dhiʼaatan keessaa tokko ture.
So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.
3 Maariyaamis shittoo Naardoos qulqulluu gatiin isaa guddaa kan gara liitirii walakkaa taʼu fiddee miilla Yesuus dibde; rifeensa mataa isheetiinis miilla isaa haqxe. Manichis urgaa shittoo sanaatiin guutame.
Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Barattoota isaa keessaa tokko kan dabarsee isa kennuuf jiru Yihuudaa Keeriyotichi garuu akkana jedhe;
Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),
5 “Shittoon kun maaliif diinaarii dhibba sadiitti gurguramee hiyyeeyyiif hin kennamne?”
"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"
6 Akkana jechuun isaa waan hattuu tureef malee hiyyeeyyiif yaade miti. Innis sababii korojoon maallaqaa harka isaa tureef, waan achi keessa buufamu irraa ofii isaatii fudhachaa ture.
The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.
7 Yesuusis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Isheen shittoo kana guyyaa awwaala kootiitiif haa tursituutii ishee dhiisaa.
But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.
8 Hiyyeeyyii yeroo hunda of biraa qabdu; ana garuu yeroo hunda of biraa hin qabdan.”
For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."
9 Yihuudoonni baayʼeen akka Yesuus achi jiru beekanii Yesuus qofaaf jedhaanii utuu hin taʼin, Alʼaazaar isa inni duʼaa kaases ilaaluuf dhufan.
Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.
10 Kanaafuu luboonni hangafoonni Alʼaazaarinis ajjeesuuf mariʼatan;
The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,
11 Yihuudoota keessaa namoonni baayʼeen sababii isaatiif dhaqanii Yesuusitti amanaa turaniitii.
for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.
12 Guyyaa itti aanutti namoonni Ayyaanichaaf dhufanii turan baayʼeen akka Yesuus gara Yerusaalem dhufaa jiru dhagaʼan.
The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Isaanis damee meexxii harkatti qabatanii isa simachuu baʼan; iyyaniis akkana jedhan; “Hoosaaʼinaa!” “Inni maqaa Gooftaatiin dhufu eebbifamaa dha!” “Mootiin Israaʼel eebbifamaa dha!”
took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!"
14 Yesuusis ilmoo harree tokko argatee yaabbate; kunis akkuma akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha;
And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, just as the Scripture says,
15 “Yaa Intala Xiyoon, hin sodaatin; kunoo, mootiin kee, ilmoo harree yaabbatee dhufuutti jira.”
"Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."
16 Barattoonni isaa jalqabatti waan kana hin hubanne. Erga Yesuus ulfina argatee booddee garuu akka wanni barreeffame kun waaʼee isaa taʼee fi akka isaanis waanuma kana isaaf godhan yaadatan.
The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.
17 Namoonni baayʼeen yommuu inni Alʼaazaarin awwaala keessaa waamee duʼaa kaasetti isa wajjin turanis ittuma fufanii dhugaa baʼan.
The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.
18 Namoonni baayʼeenis sababii mallattoo kana gochuu isaa dhagaʼaniif isa simachuu baʼan.
This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
19 Kanaafuu Fariisonni, “Isin akka waa tokko illee gochuu hin dandeenye argitanii? Ilaa, addunyaan guutuun akkamitti akka isa duukaa buʼe ilaalaa!” waliin jedhan.
The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
20 Warra yeroo Ayyaanichaatti waaqeffachuuf ol baʼan keessaa tokko tokko Giriikota turan.
Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.
21 Isaanis Fiiliphoos namicha Beetisayidaa Galiilaatii dhufe sanatti dhiʼaatanii, “Yaa gooftaa, Yesuusin arguu barbaanna” jedhaniin.
They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
22 Fiiliphoosis dhaqee Indiriiyaasitti hime; Indiriiyaasii fi Fiiliphoos immoo dhaqanii Yesuusitti himan.
Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Yesuus immoo akkana jedhee isaaniif deebise; “Saʼaatiin Ilmi Namaa itti ulfina argatu gaʼeera.
His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Ani dhuguman, dhuguman isinitti hima; iji qamadii tokko yoo lafa buʼee duʼuu baate kophaa isaa hafa. Yoo duʼe garuu ija baayʼee naqata.
In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.
25 Namni lubbuu isaa jaallatu kam iyyuu lubbuu isaa ni dhaba; kan addunyaa kana irratti lubbuu isaa jibbu immoo jireenya bara baraatiif lubbuu isaa kaaʼata. (aiōnios g166)
He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
26 Namni na tajaajilu kam iyyuu na faana haa buʼu; iddoo ani jiru tajaajilaan koos ni jiraata. Abbaan koo nama na tajaajilu kamiif iyyuu ulfina ni kenna.
If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.
27 “Amma lubbuun koo dhiphatteerti; egaa ani maal jedhu ree? ‘Yaa Abbaa, saʼaatii kana jalaa na baasi;’ garuu ani sababii kanaafan gara saʼaatii kanaa dhufe.
Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
28 Yaa Abbaa, maqaa kee ulfeessi!” Ergasii sagaleen, “Ani isa ulfeesseera; ammas nan ulfeessa” jedhu tokko samiidhaa dhufe.
Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."
29 Tuunni achi dhaabachaa ture yommuu sagalee kana dhagaʼetti, “Ni kakawwise” jedhe. Warri kaan immoo, “Ergamaa Waaqaatu isatti dubbate” jedhan.
The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
30 Yesuus akkana jedhee deebise; “Sagaleen kun sababii keessaniif dhufe malee sababii kootiif miti.
"It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.
31 Yeroon itti addunyaa kanatti muramu amma; bulchaan addunyaa kanaas amma gad gatama.
Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.
32 Ani garuu yeroon lafa irraa ol fuudhamutti nama hunda ofitti nan harkisa.”
And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."
33 Innis akka duʼa akkamii duʼuuf jiru argisiisuuf kana jedhe.
He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
34 Tuunnis deebisee, “Akka Kiristoos bara baraan jiraatu nu Seera irraa dhageenyeerra; yoos ati akkamitti, ‘Ilmi Namaa ol fuudhamuu qaba’ jetta? ‘Ilmi Namaa’ kunis eenyu?” jedheen. (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
35 Yesuus immoo akkana jedheen; “Ifni yeroo gabaabaadhaaf isin bira jira. Akka dukkanni isin hin liqimsineef utuu ifa qabdanuu deddeebiʼaa. Namni dukkana keessa deddeebiʼu eessa akka dhaqu hin beekuutii.
"Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
36 Ijoollee ifaa akka taataniif utuu ifa qabdanuu ifa sanatti amanaa.” Yesuusis erga waan kana dubbatee fixee booddee iddoo sanaa kaʼee isaan duraa dhokate.
In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.
37 Yesuus fuula isaanii duratti mallattoo hedduu hojjetu iyyuu, isaan isatti hin amanne.
But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
38 Kunis dubbiin Isaayyaas raajichaa kan: “Yaa Gooftaa, ergaa keenya eenyutu amane? Irreen Gooftaas eenyutti mulʼate?” jedhu sun akka raawwatamuuf ture.
in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
39 Sababii kanaaf isaan amanuu hin dandeenye; Isaayyaas iddoo biraatti akkana jedheeraatii;
For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
40 “Ija isaaniitiin akka hin argineef, qalbii isaaniitiin akka hin hubanneef, akka ani isaan fayyisuufis akka gara kootti hin deebineef, inni ija isaanii jaamseeraatii; garaa isaaniis jabeesseera.”
"He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."
41 Isaayyaas sababii ulfina isaa argee waaʼee isaas dubbateef waan kana jedhe.
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
42 Taʼus hooggantoota keessaa iyyuu namoonni baayʼeen isatti amanan. Garuu waan mana sagadaatii nu baasu jedhanii Fariisota sodaataniif amantii isaanii ifatti hin baafne;
Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
43 isaan ulfina Waaqaa irra ulfina namaa jaallataniiruutii.
For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
44 Yesuusis iyyee akkana jedhe; “Namni natti amanu isa na erge sanatti amana malee natti miti.
But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
45 Kan na argus isa na erge sana arga.
and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
46 Akka namni natti amanu hundinuu dukkana keessa hin jiraanneef ani ifa taʼee gara addunyaa dhufeera.
I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
47 “Namni yoo dubbii koo dhagaʼee eeguu baate kan isatti muru ana miti; ani addunyaa fayyisuufin dhufe malee itti muruuf hin dhufneetii.
And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Namni na didu kan dubbii koos hin fudhanne abbaa murtii tokko qaba; dubbiin ani dubbadhe sun guyyaa dhumaatti isatti mura.
He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Garuu Abbaa isuma na erge sanatu akka ani waanan dubbadhe sana jedhu na ajaje malee ani ofii kootiin hin dubbanne.
Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in what words to speak.
