Yohana 11
1 Omuntu omo itawa lyakwe ali yo Lazalo ali bhinu. Afumiye hu Bethania, eshijiji sha Mariamu na odaada wakwe oMasa.
Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Ali yo Mariamu yayola wapeshe Ogosi Amarhamu na hufute amagaga gakwe hwii sisi lyakwe, ola oholo wakwe oLazalo wali bhinu.
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Ailombo ebha bhatumile oujumbe hwa Yesu na yanje, “Gosi, enya ola wogene abhawa.”
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
4 O Yesu na honvwa ajile, “Empongo ene se yafwe, ila, baada yeshoye umwamihwe wa Ngolobhe aje Omwana wa Ngolobhe apate amwamihwe ashilile hwenyo empongo.”
and, when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honor of God, in order that the Son of God may be honored through it.”
5 O Yesu agene oMasa no dada wakwe no Lazalo.
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Lwa honvwezye aje oLozalo bhinu, oYesu akheye insiku izbhele ashizanye pala pahali.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Eshi baada yelyo abhabhozya abhanafunzi bhakwe, “Saali huu Yahudi nantele.”
Then, after that, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Abhanafunzi bhabhozya, “Mwalimu, Ayahudi bhali bhalenga ahupole na mawe, na aweohonza awele hwohwo nantele?”
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?”
9 O Yesu ayanga, “Esala zya pasanya sezili kumi ne zibhele? Omuntu ajenda pasanya sawezizye abomele, afuatanaje alola hulukhozyo lwa pasanya.
“Are not there twelve hours in the day?” answered Jesus. “If someone walks about in the daytime, they don’t stumble, because they can see the light of the sun;
10 Ata sheshi nkashe anzajende no siku, anzabomele afuatanaje olukhozyo nalumo muhati yakwe.”
but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.”
11 O Yesu ayanga enongwa ezi, baada ye nongwa ezi, abhabhozya, “Owamwetu oLazalo agonile, ila embala aje empate ahubhosye afume mutulo.”
And, when he had said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may wake him.”
12 Abhanafunzi bhabhozya, “Gosi, nkashe agonile, anzabhoshe.
“If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
13 Ensiku izyo oYesu ali ayanga ahusu enfwa ya Lazalo, ila abhene bhamenye aje ayanga ahusu agone otulo.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 O Yesu nkayanga na bhene pazelu pazelu, “O Lazalo afwiye.
Then he said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead;
15 Lusongwo lwendiinalwo hulimwe aje senahali hula aje mubhe no lweteshelo. Saali hwa mwene.”
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him.”
16 O Tomaso wa hetwaga Pacha, abhozya abhanafunzi amwabho, “Nate saalitifwe pamo no Yesu.”
At this, Thomas, who was called ‘The Twin,’ said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
17 O Yesu lwa henzaga amweje oLazalo akheye mwilende insiku zine.
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 Yope e Bethania yaali pepe ne Yelusalemu nanshi ekilometa arubaini ne zisanu eshi.
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 Abhinji kati ya Yahudi bhahenzele hwa Masa no Mariamu abhazinde alengane no holo wabho.
a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
20 O Masa ahonvwa aje oYesu ahwenza, abhalile akhomane nawo, ila oMariamu ahendeleye akhale pakhaya.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 O Masa abhozya oYesu, “Gosi, nkashe ogabhiye epa, okolo wane handa safwiye.
“Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Ata sheshehwelewa aje lyalyonti lyobhalabhe afume hwa Ngolobhe, anzahupele.”
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
23 O Yesu abhozya, okolo waho anzavyoshe nantele.”
“Your brother will rise to life,” said Jesus.
24 O Masa abhozya, emenye aje anzavyonshe huu vyoho wi siku lya mwisho.”
“I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at the Last day.”
25 O Yesu abhozya, “Ane endi luvionsyono womi; omwane waneteshela, ata nkashe aifwa, hata sheshi aibha ahwizya;
“I am the resurrection and the life,” said Jesus. “He who believes in me will live, though he die;
and he who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Wabhozya aje, “'Sawa, Gosi ehweteshela aje awe oli Kilisiti, Mwana wa Ngolobhe, omwene wa hwenza munsi.”
“Yes Master,” she answered. “I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
28 Nahamala ayanje eli, abhalile ahukwizye odada wakwe oMariamu hufaraga. Ajile, “Omwalimu ali epa nantele ahukwizya.”
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, “The teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 O Mariamu na hovwezye ega, abhoshele nanali na bhale hwa Yesu.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 Wope oYesu ali sayenzele aliseele muhati ye shijiji, aliseele lwa khomanaga no Masa.
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 Ayahudi bhabhali no Maliamu munyumba na bhala bhabhli wahuzinda, bhabhoshele nanali na afume honze, bhalondoleye; bhamenye aje abhala hwi kaburi aje alile ohwo.
So the people, who were in the house with Mary, comforting her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 O Mariamu, ahafiha pala oYesu palolaga na agwiye pansi pamagaga gakwe na hobhozye, “Gosi, nkashe ogahali epa, oholo wane hande sagaafwiye.”
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. “Master,” she exclaimed, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died!”
33 O Yesu nalola alila, na Ayahudi bhahenzele pamo nawo bhali bhalila huu moyo gabho na sebhelele;
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 ajile, “Mugonizye hwii? Bhabhozye, Gosi, enza oyenye.”
“Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
35 O Yesu alilile.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Ayahudi nkabhayanga, “Oyenye sha gene oLazalo!”
“How he must have loved him!” the people exclaimed;
37 Bhamo muhati yabho bhajile, “Sio yayono, omuntu wabhombile amaso gola wali mpofu, sagabhombile ono muntu aje agaje afwe?”
but some of them said, “Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?”
38 O Yesu alilaga humwoyo gwakwe nantele, abhalile hwi lende. Hwali ligwenya, niiwe libhehwele pamwanya lyakwe.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
39 O Yesu ajile, “Lyefwi iwe.” O Masa, oilombo wakwe oLazalo, omwene wafwiye, abhozya oYesu, “Gosi, hu muda ogu, obele gubhabhe gu bholile, alenganaje ali fwee ensiku zine.”
“Move the stone away,” said Jesus. “Master,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.”
40 O Yesu abhozya, “Ane senabhozezye aje, nkashe ohweteshela, obhaulole oumwamu wa Ngolobhe?”
“Didn’t I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?”
41 Nnkabhalyefwa iwe. O Yesu abhosya amaso gakwe amwanya naje, “Daada, ehusombezya afuatanaje onomvwa.
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
42 Namenye aje ononvwa omuda gwonti, ila alengane no lubhongano lwalwe meleye anzongole aje enjanjile ega, aje bhapate ahweteshele aje awe ontumile.”
I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.”
43 Naayanga ega, alilile hwizu igosi, “Lazalo, fuma honze!”
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”
44 Ofwe afumile honze apinyilwe amakhono na magaga husanda zyakhatile, na amaso gakwe apinyilwe ne shitambala.” O Yesu abhabhozya, “Mwigulili muleshele abhalaje.”
The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “and let him go.”
45 Oyahudi abhinji bhabhahenzele hwa Mariamu nalole oYesu habhombaga, bhamweteshela;
In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
46 bhamo bhabhalile hwa Mafarisayo na bhabhozye enongwa zyazibhombile oYesu.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
47 Agosi bha dimi na Mafarisayo bhabhongene pandwemo mwi baraza na yaanje, “Tibhabhombe yenu? Omuntu ono abhoembombo enyinji.
The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?
48 Nkashe tibhahuleshe eshi mwene, bhonti bhanza humweteshe; Alumi bhayenza na hweje vyonti evyetu ni taifa lyetu.”
If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our Temple and our nation.”
49 Hata omuntu omuntu muhati yabho, oKayafa, waali dimi Ogosi omwaha ogwo, abhabhozya, “Semumenye hahonti.
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 Sahusebhelela aje ehwanziwa aje omuntu omo afwe esababu ya bhanje ashile itaifa lyonti na litega.”
“You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”
51 Eege sohagayanjile afuatanaje no mwene, mhati yakwe, ali dimi ogosi omwaha gula, ayanjile aje oYesu aifwa sababu ya bha munsi;
Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation –
52 na se huje hwabha munsi bhene ila oYesu apate abhabhonganye abhana bha Ngolobhe bhabha nyanpene hutali hutali.
And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.
53 Eshi ahwandile isiku elyo na hwendelela bhapanjile ahugoje oYesu.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
54 O Yesu sagajendile apazelu pazelu hwa Yahudi, ila asogeye epa na bhale ensi yelipeepe ni poli hunsi yehwetwa Efraimu. Epo akheye nabhanafunzi.
In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the people any more, but left and went into the country bordering on the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 Epasaka ya Yahudi yali pepe, na bhinji bhazubhile abhale hu Yelusalemu honze yensi sheli sele ePasaka nkabhahwiyozye bhebho.
But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their purification, before the Festival began.
56 Bhali bha humwanza oYesu, na ayanje kila muntu na bhali bhemeleye mshibhanza, “Musebha yenu? Aje saga ayenza mushi kulukulu?”
So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts, “What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?”
57 Owakati ou ogosi wa dimi na Mafarisayo bhali bhafumizye endajizyo aje nkashe omo aimanya oYesu hwali, ahwanziwa afumye etaarifa aje nkabhapate ahukhate.
The chief priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if anyone learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
