Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
2 ཡཱ མརིཡམ྄ པྲབྷུཾ སུགནྡྷིཏེལཻན མརྡྡཡིཏྭཱ སྭཀེཤཻསྟསྱ ཙརཎཽ སམམཱརྫཏ྄ ཏསྱཱ བྷྲཱཏཱ ས ཨིལིཡཱསར྄ རོགཱི།
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 ཨཔརཉྩ ཧེ པྲབྷོ བྷཝཱན྄ ཡསྨིན྄ པྲཱིཡཏེ ས ཨེཝ པཱིཌིཏོསྟཱིཏི ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏྭཱ ཏསྱ བྷགིནྱཽ པྲེཥིཏཝཏྱཽ།
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
4 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུརིམཱཾ ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱཀཐཡཏ པཱིཌེཡཾ མརཎཱརྠཾ ན ཀིནྟྭཱིཤྭརསྱ མཧིམཱརྠམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཔུཏྲསྱ མཧིམཔྲཀཱཤཱརྠཉྩ ཛཱཏཱ།
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 ཡཱིཤུ ཪྻདྱཔིམརྠཱཡཱཾ ཏདྦྷགིནྱཱམ྄ ཨིལིཡཱསརི ཙཱཔྲཱིཡཏ,
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.

Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 ཏཏཿ པརམ྄ ས ཤིཥྱཱནཀཐཡད྄ ཝཡཾ པུན ཪྻིཧཱུདཱིཡཔྲདེཤཾ ཡཱམཿ།
Then, after that, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 ཏཏསྟེ པྲཏྱཝདན྄, ཧེ གུརོ སྭལྤདིནཱནི གཏཱནི ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱསྟྭཱཾ པཱཥཱཎཻ རྷནྟུམ྄ ཨུདྱཏཱསྟཐཱཔི ཀིཾ པུནསྟཏྲ ཡཱསྱསི?
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?”
9 ཡཱིཤུཿ པྲཏྱཝདཏ྄, ཨེཀསྨིན྄ དིནེ ཀིཾ དྭཱདཤགྷཊིཀཱ ན བྷཝནྟི? ཀོཔི དིཝཱ གཙྪན྄ ན སྑལཏི ཡཏཿ ས ཨེཏཛྫགཏོ དཱིཔྟིཾ པྲཱཔྣོཏི།
“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 ཀིནྟུ རཱཏྲཽ གཙྪན྄ སྑལཏི ཡཏོ ཧེཏོསྟཏྲ དཱིཔྟི རྣཱསྟི།
but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.”
11 ཨིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏྭཱ ས ཏཱནཝདད྄, ཨསྨཱཀཾ བནྡྷུཿ ཨིལིཡཱསར྄ ནིདྲིཏོབྷཱུད྄ ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཏཾ ནིདྲཱཏོ ཛཱགརཡིཏུཾ གཙྪཱམི།
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 ཡཱིཤུ རྨྲྀཏཽ ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཀིནྟུ ཝིཤྲཱམཱརྠཾ ནིདྲཱཡཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི ཛྙཱཏྭཱ ཤིཥྱཱ ཨཀཐཡན྄,
“If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
13 ཧེ གུརོ ས ཡདི ནིདྲཱཏི ཏརྷི བྷདྲམེཝ།
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུཿ སྤཥྚཾ ཏཱན྄ ཝྱཱཧརཏ྄, ཨིལིཡཱསར྄ ཨམྲིཡཏ;
Then he said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead;
15 ཀིནྟུ ཡཱུཡཾ ཡཐཱ པྲཏཱིཐ ཏདརྠམཧཾ ཏཏྲ ན སྠིཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏྱསྨཱད྄ ཡུཥྨནྣིམིཏྟམ྄ ཨཱཧླཱདིཏོཧཾ, ཏཐཱཔི ཏསྱ སམཱིཔེ ཡཱམ།
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 ཏདཱ ཐོམཱ ཡཾ དིདུམཾ ཝདནྟི ས སངྒིནཿ ཤིཥྱཱན྄ ཨཝདད྄ ཝཡམཔི གཏྭཱ ཏེན སཱརྡྡྷཾ མྲིཡཱམཧཻ།
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 ཡཱིཤུསྟཏྲོཔསྠཱཡ ཨིལིཡཱསརཿ ཤྨཤཱནེ སྠཱཔནཱཏ྄ ཙཏྭཱརི དིནཱནི གཏཱནཱིཏི ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ ཤྲུཏཝཱན྄།
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 ཝཻཐནཱིཡཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཿ སམཱིཔསྠཱ ཀྲོཤཻཀམཱཏྲཱནྟརིཏཱ;
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 ཏསྨཱད྄ བཧཝོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱ མརྠཱཾ མརིཡམཉྩ བྷྱཱཏྲྀཤོཀཱཔནྣཱཾ སཱནྟྭཡིཏུཾ ཏཡོཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪན྄།
a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
20 མརྠཱ ཡཱིཤོརཱགམནཝཱརྟཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཻཝ ཏཾ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཨཀརོཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ མརིཡམ྄ གེཧ ཨུཔཝིཤྱ སྠིཏཱ།
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 ཏདཱ མརྠཱ ཡཱིཤུམཝཱདཏ྄, ཧེ པྲབྷོ ཡདི བྷཝཱན྄ ཨཏྲཱསྠཱསྱཏ྄ ཏརྷི མམ བྷྲཱཏཱ ནཱམརིཥྱཏ྄།
“Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 ཀིནྟྭིདཱནཱིམཔི ཡད྄ ཨཱིཤྭརེ པྲཱརྠཡིཥྱཏེ ཨཱིཤྭརསྟད྄ དཱསྱཏཱིཏི ཛཱནེ྅ཧཾ།
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
23 ཡཱིཤུརཝཱདཱིཏ྄ ཏཝ བྷྲཱཏཱ སམུཏྠཱསྱཏི།
“Your brother will rise to life,” said Jesus.
24 མརྠཱ ཝྱཱཧརཏ྄ ཤེཥདིཝསེ ས ཨུཏྠཱནསམཡེ པྲོཏྠཱསྱཏཱིཏི ཛཱནེ྅ཧཾ།
“I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at the Last day.”
25 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུཿ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཨཧམེཝ ཨུཏྠཱཔཡིཏཱ ཛཱིཝཡིཏཱ ཙ ཡཿ ཀཤྩན མཡི ཝིཤྭསིཏི ས མྲྀཏྭཱཔི ཛཱིཝིཥྱཏི;
“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 སཱཝདཏ྄ པྲབྷོ ཡསྱཱཝཏརཎཱཔེཀྵཱསྟི བྷཝཱན྄ སཨེཝཱབྷིཥིཀྟྟ ཨཱིཤྭརཔུཏྲ ཨིཏི ཝིཤྭསིམི།
“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 ཨིཏི ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏྭཱ སཱ གཏྭཱ སྭཱཾ བྷགིནཱིཾ མརིཡམཾ གུཔྟམཱཧཱུཡ ཝྱཱཧརཏ྄ གུརུརུཔཏིཥྛཏི ཏྭཱམཱཧཱུཡཏི ཙ།
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, “The teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ སཱ ཏཱུརྞམ྄ ཨུཏྠཱཡ ཏསྱ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨགཙྪཏ྄།
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 ཡཱིཤུ རྒྲཱམམདྷྱཾ ན པྲཝིཤྱ ཡཏྲ མརྠཱ ཏཾ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཨཀརོཏ྄ ཏཏྲ སྠིཏཝཱན྄།
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 ཡེ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱ མརིཡམཱ སཱཀཾ གྲྀཧེ ཏིཥྛནྟསྟཱམ྄ ཨསཱནྟྭཡན ཏེ ཏཱཾ ཀྵིཔྲམ྄ ཨུཏྠཱཡ གཙྪནྟིཾ ཝིལོཀྱ ཝྱཱཧརན྄, ས ཤྨཤཱནེ རོདིཏུཾ ཡཱཏི, ཨིཏྱུཀྟྭཱ ཏེ ཏསྱཱཿ པཤྩཱད྄ ཨགཙྪན྄།
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 ཡཏྲ ཡཱིཤུརཏིཥྛཏ྄ ཏཏྲ མརིཡམ྄ ཨུཔསྠཱཡ ཏཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཏསྱ ཙརཎཡོཿ པཏིཏྭཱ ཝྱཱཧརཏ྄ ཧེ པྲབྷོ ཡདི བྷཝཱན྄ ཨཏྲཱསྠཱསྱཏ྄ ཏརྷི མམ བྷྲཱཏཱ ནཱམརིཥྱཏ྄།
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 ཡཱིཤུསྟཱཾ ཏསྱཱཿ སངྒིནོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱཾཤྩ རུདཏོ ཝིལོཀྱ ཤོཀཱརྟྟཿ སན྄ དཱིརྒྷཾ ནིཤྭསྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཾ ཀུཏྲཱསྠཱཔཡཏ?
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 ཏེ ཝྱཱཧརན྄, ཧེ པྲབྷོ བྷཝཱན྄ ཨཱགཏྱ པཤྱཏུ།
“Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
35 ཡཱིཤུནཱ ཀྲནྡིཏཾ།
Jesus burst into tears.
36 ཨཏཨེཝ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱ ཨཝདན྄, པཤྱཏཱཡཾ ཏསྨིན྄ ཀིདྲྀག྄ ཨཔྲིཡཏ།
“How he must have loved him!” the people exclaimed;
37 ཏེཥཱཾ ཀེཙིད྄ ཨཝདན྄ ཡོནྡྷཱཡ ཙཀྵུཥཱི དཏྟཝཱན྄ ས ཀིམ྄ ཨསྱ མྲྀཏྱུཾ ནིཝཱརཡིཏུཾ ནཱཤཀྣོཏ྄?
but some of them said, “Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?”
38 ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུཿ པུནརནྟརྡཱིརྒྷཾ ནིཤྭསྱ ཤྨཤཱནཱནྟིཀམ྄ ཨགཙྪཏ྄། ཏཏ྄ ཤྨཤཱནམ྄ ཨེཀཾ གཧྭརཾ ཏནྨུཁེ པཱཥཱཎ ཨེཀ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄།
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
39 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུརཝདད྄ ཨེནཾ པཱཥཱཎམ྄ ཨཔསཱརཡཏ, ཏཏཿ པྲམཱིཏསྱ བྷགིནཱི མརྠཱཝདཏ྄ པྲབྷོ, ཨདྷུནཱ ཏཏྲ དུརྒནྡྷོ ཛཱཏཿ, ཡཏོདྱ ཙཏྭཱརི དིནཱནི ཤྨཤཱནེ ས ཏིཥྛཏི།
“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 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུརཝཱདཱིཏ྄, ཡདི ཝིཤྭསིཥི ཏརྷཱིཤྭརསྱ མཧིམཔྲཀཱཤཾ དྲཀྵྱསི ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཀིཾ ཏུབྷྱཾ ནཱཀཐཡཾ?
“Didn’t I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?”
41 ཏདཱ མྲྀཏསྱ ཤྨཤཱནཱཏ྄ པཱཥཱཎོ྅པསཱརིཏེ ཡཱིཤུརཱུརྡྭྭཾ པཤྱན྄ ཨཀཐཡཏ྄, ཧེ པིཏ རྨམ ནེཝེསནམ྄ ཨཤྲྀཎོཿ ཀཱརཎཱདསྨཱཏ྄ ཏྭཱཾ དྷནྱཾ ཝདཱམི།
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
42 ཏྭཾ སཏཏཾ ཤྲྀཎོཥི ཏདཔྱཧཾ ཛཱནཱམི, ཀིནྟུ ཏྭཾ མཱཾ ཡཏ྄ པྲཻརཡསྟད྄ ཡཐཱསྨིན྄ སྠཱནེ སྠིཏཱ ལོཀཱ ཝིཤྭསནྟི ཏདརྠམ྄ ཨིདཾ ཝཱཀྱཾ ཝདཱམི།
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 ཨིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏྭཱ ས པྲོཙྩཻརཱཧྭཡཏ྄, ཧེ ཨིལིཡཱསར྄ བཧིརཱགཙྪ།
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”
44 ཏཏཿ ས པྲམཱིཏཿ ཤྨཤཱནཝསྟྲཻ རྦདྡྷཧསྟཔཱདོ གཱཏྲམཱརྫནཝཱསསཱ བདྡྷམུཁཤྩ བཧིརཱགཙྪཏ྄། ཡཱིཤུརུདིཏཝཱན྄ བནྡྷནཱནི མོཙཡིཏྭཱ ཏྱཛཏཻནཾ།
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 མརིཡམཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཏཱ ཡེ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱསྟདཱ ཡཱིཤོརེཏཏ྄ ཀརྨྨཱཔཤྱན྄ ཏེཥཱཾ བཧཝོ ཝྱཤྭསན྄,
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 ཀིནྟུ ཀེཙིདནྱེ ཕིརཱུཤིནཱཾ སམཱིཔཾ གཏྭཱ ཡཱིཤོརེཏསྱ ཀརྨྨཎོ ཝཱརྟྟཱམ྄ ཨཝདན྄།
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
47 ཏཏཿ པརཾ པྲདྷཱནཡཱཛཀཱཿ ཕིརཱུཤིནཱཤྩ སབྷཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཝྱཱཧརན྄ ཝཡཾ ཀིཾ ཀུརྨྨཿ? ཨེཥ མཱནཝོ བཧཱུནྱཱཤྩཪྻྱཀརྨྨཱཎི ཀརོཏི།
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 ཡདཱིདྲྀཤཾ ཀརྨྨ ཀརྟྟུཾ ན ཝཱརཡཱམསྟརྷི སཪྻྭེ ལོཀཱསྟསྨིན྄ ཝིཤྭསིཥྱནྟི རོམིལོཀཱཤྩཱགཏྱཱསྨཱཀམ྄ ཨནཡཱ རཱཛདྷཱནྱཱ སཱརྡྡྷཾ རཱཛྱམ྄ ཨཱཚེཏྶྱནྟི།
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 ཏདཱ ཏེཥཱཾ ཀིཡཕཱནཱམཱ ཡསྟསྨིན྄ ཝཏྶརེ མཧཱཡཱཛཀཔདེ ནྱཡུཛྱཏ ས པྲཏྱཝདད྄ ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིམཔི ན ཛཱནཱིཐ;
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 སམགྲདེཤསྱ ཝིནཱཤཏོཔི སཪྻྭལོཀཱརྠམ྄ ཨེཀསྱ ཛནསྱ མརཎམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ མངྒལཧེཏུཀམ྄ ཨེཏསྱ ཝིཝེཙནཱམཔི ན ཀུརུཐ།
“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 ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ས ནིཛབུདྡྷྱཱ ཝྱཱཧརད྄ ཨིཏི ན,
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 ཀིནྟུ ཡཱིཤཱུསྟདྡེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཀཱརཎཱཏ྄ པྲཱཎཱན྄ ཏྱཀྵྱཏི, དིཤི དིཤི ཝིཀཱིརྞཱན྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ སནྟཱནཱན྄ སཾགྲྀཧྱཻཀཛཱཏིཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི ཙ, ཏསྨིན྄ ཝཏྶརེ ཀིཡཕཱ མཧཱཡཱཛཀཏྭཔདེ ནིཡུཀྟཿ སན྄ ཨིདཾ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱཀྱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄།
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 ཏདྡིནམཱརབྷྱ ཏེ ཀཐཾ ཏཾ ཧནྟུཾ ཤཀྣུཝནྟཱིཏི མནྟྲཎཱཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ པྲཱརེབྷིརེ།
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
54 ཨཏཨེཝ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཡཱིཤུཿ སཔྲཀཱཤཾ གམནཱགམནེ ཨཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏསྨཱད྄ གཏྭཱ པྲཱནྟརསྱ སམཱིཔསྠཱཡིཔྲདེཤསྱེཕྲཱཡིམ྄ ནཱམྣི ནགརེ ཤིཥྱཻཿ སཱཀཾ ཀཱལཾ ཡཱཔཡིཏུཾ པྲཱརེབྷེ།
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 ཨནནྟརཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ ནིསྟཱརོཏྶཝེ ནིཀཊཝརྟྟིནི སཏི ཏདུཏྶཝཱཏ྄ པཱུཪྻྭཾ སྭཱན྄ ཤུཙཱིན྄ ཀརྟྟུཾ བཧཝོ ཛནཱ གྲཱམེབྷྱོ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམ྄ ནགརམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪན྄,
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 ཡཱིཤོརནྭེཥཎཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ མནྡིརེ དཎྜཱཡམཱནཱཿ སནྟཿ པརསྤརཾ ཝྱཱཧརན྄, ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཀཱིདྲྀཤོ བོདྷོ ཛཱཡཏེ? ས ཀིམ྄ ཨུཏྶཝེ྅སྨིན྄ ཨཏྲཱགམིཥྱཏི?
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 ས ཙ ཀུཏྲཱསྟི ཡདྱེཏཏ྄ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཝེཏྟི ཏརྷི དརྴཡཏུ པྲདྷཱནཡཱཛཀཱཿ ཕིརཱུཤིནཤྩ ཏཾ དྷརྟྟུཾ པཱུཪྻྭམ྄ ཨིམཱམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཾ པྲཱཙཱརཡན྄།
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.
