Ioanes 12
1 PONG wonu pong mon pasa Iesus kotilang Petanien, wasa Lasarus me melar, kauson ia, me Iesus kotin kamauredar sang ren me melar akan.
Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
2 Irail ari kaonopada konot, pwe a en kotin kasipong re’rail; Marta papa, a Lasarus amen irail me iang I kotikot ni tepel.
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 Maria ap wado paun en men kei eu, udan pil en narde, me kasampwalia, keiedi ong ni aluwilu en Iesus o limwieki a pwilipeipei aluwilu a; a im o me dir kila po en men kei.
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 Iudas Iskariot, amen ren sapwilim a tounpadak kan, nain Simon, me pan pangala i, ap indada:
Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),
5 Da men kei wet sota netilar, kareda denar silepuki, ap nek ong samama kan?
"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"
6 Kaidik a pok ong me samama kan, me a idokki met, a pweki lipirap amen i, o saunkanikid en moni, wewa moni, me aramas kidar.
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 Iesus ap kotin masani: Der mokidi ong i! Pwe a kaonopadang ran en ai pan saredi.
But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.
8 Pwe me samma kan kin potopot re omail, a ngai sota sota kin potopot re omail.
For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."
9 Sus oko me toto ari asaer, me a kot wasa o, irail ari kodo pweki Iesus o pil, pwen kilang Lasarus, me a kotin kamauredar sang ren me melar akan.
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 Samero lapalap akan pil raparapaki, en pil kamela Lasarus.
The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,
11 Pwe Sus oko toto kola o poson Iesus pweki i.
for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.
12 Mandan ran o aramas toto, me toun iang kamadip o, lao rong, me Iesus pan kotilang Ierusalem,
The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Ap paledi ran tuka kan o koieila tu ong i, ngisingisida: Osiana! Meid iasanai me kotido ni mar en Kaun o Nanmarki en Israel!
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 A Iesus lao kotin masani esel pul amen, ap kaipokedi poa, duen a intingidier:
And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, just as the Scripture says,
15 Der masak nain Sion seripein! Kilang om Nanmarki kotido, kaipokedi pon nain esel amen.
"Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."
16 A sapwilim a tounpadak kan sota madang weweki mepukat. A Iesus lao linganlar, irail ap tamanda mepukat, me indingidier duen i, o me ir wiai ong i mepukat.
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 A pokon o, me iang i ni a kotin molipei Lasarus sang nan sousou o, ni a kotin kamauredar i sang ren me melar akan, kadede i!
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 Iei me aramas kokiieilang i, pwe irail rongadar, me a kotin wiadar kilel wet.
This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
19 Parisär oko ap indada nan pung ar: Komail kilang, me komail sota kak wia meakot. Kilang, toun sap akan idauenla i.
The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
20 Akai men Krik iang irail, me koda dong kamadip o, pwen kaudok.
Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.
21 Mepukat ko dong Pilipus, men Petsaida en Kaliläa, poeki re a indada: Maing, se men udial Iesus.
They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
22 Pilipus ap kodo kaireki Andreas, a Andreas o Pilipus kaireki Iesus.
Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 A Iesus kotin sapeng irail masani: Ansau leler, me Nain aramas pan kalinganla.
His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Melel, melel I indai ong komail, ma wan korn so moredi ong nan pwel o mela, a pan kelepata, a ma a pan mela, a pan kaparapar wa toto.
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 Me pokepoke maur i, pan salongala; a me tounmeteki maur i pali pa, pan diarada maur soutuk. (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 Meamen papa ia, i en idauen ia! A wasa I mi ia, i wasa me papa ia, pan pil mi ia. Ma meamen papa ia, i me Sam o pan kasapwilada.
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 I ap lol olar, a da me I en inda? Sam kamaio wei sang ia ansau wet, ari so, i me I koki dong ansau wet.
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 Sam, kalinganada mar omui! Ngil eu ap peidido sang nanlang indada: I kalinganadaer, o I pan pil kalinganada.
Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."
29 A aramas akan me u sili me rongadar, indada: A nansapwe. A akai indada: Tounlang amen me kasoia ong i.
The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
30 Iesus kotin sapeng masani: Kaidik pweki ngai, me ngil wet wiauikier a pweki komail.
"It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.
31 Met ansau en kadeik en sappa wet. Met kaun en sappa et pan lokidokila.
Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.
32 A ngai lao langada sang sappa, I pan kainonga dong ia karos.
And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."
33 I me a kotin kokop kidar duen a pan kamatala.
He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
34 Aramas akan sapeng i: Se rongadar sang nan kapung o, me Kristus pan potopoteta, a iaduen, kom kasoiada, me Nain aramas en kakauda. Is Nain aramas men et? (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 Iesus ap kotin masani ong irail: Marain mi re omail ansau kis. Weweid, ni ansau marain mi re omail, pwe rotorot ender kono komail edi. Pwe me kin weweid nan rotorot, kin sasa wasa, me a ko ong ia.
"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 Poson marain, ni a mimi re omail, pwe komail en seri en marainla. Iesus kotin masani mepukat, ap kotila karukila pein i sang irail.
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 A i me kotin wiadar kilel toto mo’rail, ari so, irail sota poson i,
But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
38 Pwe kokop en saukop Iesaia en pwaida, me a masani: Kaun o, is me poson at kasoi? O is me lim en Kaun kasansal ong?
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 Irail ari sota kak poson, pwe Iesaia pil katitiki:
For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
40 A kotin karotongala mas arail o kakekaluakala mongiong arail, pwe ren so kilangki mas arail, o asaki mongiong arail, o wukila, o I en kakel ir ada.
"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 Mepukat Iesaia masanier, ni a kilanger a lingan o katitiki i.
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
42 Ari ren saumas lapalap me toto, me poson i, a pweki Parisär akan re sota ponasa i, pwe ren der lokidokila sang nan sinakoke.
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 Pwe re mauki konekon ren aramas akan mon konekon ren Kot.
For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
44 Iesus kotin kapitie laudeda masani: Me poson ia, kaidin ngai, me a kin poson, a me kadar ia dor.
But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
45 A me kilang ia, a pil kilang, me kadar ia dor.
and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
46 I kodon kamaraini sappa, pwe amen amen me poson ia, ender mimieta nan rotorot.
I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
47 A ma meamen rong ai padak kan, ap sota apapwali, I sota kin kadeikada i, pwe I sota kodon kadeikada sappa, a pwen kamaurida sappa.
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 Me kase ia la o so oke ai padak kan, nan kadeikapa mia: Ai padak, me I kida, i me pan kadeikada i ni ran nik o.
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 Pwe I sota padaki wei sang pein ngai. A Sam, me kadar ia dor, i me ki ong ia er kusoned eu, me I en inda o padakieki.
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.
