Johane 11
1 Mme jaana ga bo go le monna mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Lasaro yo o neng a lwala. O ne a tswa Bethania motse wa ga gabo Marea Le Maratha mogolowe. Marea Kgaitsadia Lasaro, ke ene yo o kileng a tlotsa Morena setlolo a ba a se phimola mo dinaong tsa gagwe ka moriri.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Mme bokgaitsadie ba babedi ba romela molaetsa kwa go Jesu ba mo raya ba re, “Morena, tsala ya gago e e molemo e lwala thata thata.”
These sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, “Lord, one You love is sick!”
4 Mme erile fa Jesu a utlwa ka ga moo, a re, “Maikaelelo a bolwetse jwa gagwe ga se loso, mme ke maikaelelo a gore Modimo o tlo o galalediwe. Nna, Morwa Modimo, Ke tlaa galalediwa ka ga jone bolwetse jo.”
When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness won’t end in death, but for God’s glory, so that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Lefa Jesu a ne a rata Maratha le Marea le Lasaro thata,
Now Jesus sincerely loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 o ne a nna fela kwa a neng a le teng malatsi a mabedi a a latelang a sa ye kwa go bone fa a sena go bolelelwa.
Yet, when He heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed where He was for two more days.
7 Lwa bofelo morago ga malatsi a mabedi, a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “A re yeng kwa Judea.”
After this, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8 Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba gana ba re, “Morena, malatsinyana fela a a fetileng a se kae, baeteledipele ba Sejuta mo Judea ba ne ba leka go go bolaya. A o yo teng gape?”
The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just recently trying to stone You! Are You really going back there?”
9 Jesu a fetola a re, “Motshegare mongwe le mongwe o na le dioura di le lesome le bodedi, mme mo oureng nngwe le nngwe ya one motho o ka tsamaya a babalesegile a sa kgotswe.
Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks by day doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Bosigo fela ke gone go nang le diphatsa tsa go kgotswa, ka ntlha ya lefifi.”
But anyone who walks by night stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11 Mme a bua a re, “Tsala ya rona Lasaro o robetse, mme jaanong ke ya go mo tsosa!”
After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 Erile ka barutwa ba ne ba gopola gore Jesu o raya gore Lasaro o robetse boroko fela jwa bosigo, ba re, “Moo go raya gore o nna botoka!” Mme Jesu o ne a raya gore Lasaro o sule.
The disciples therefore said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.”
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was talking about literal sleep.
14 Mme a ba bolelela sentle a re, “Lasaro o sule.
So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15 Mme ka ntlha ya lona, Ke a itumela, ka ke ne ke se fa go ene, mme mo go tlaa lo naya sebaka sa go dumela mo go nna. A re yeng kwa go ene.”
and I am glad for your sakes that I wasn’t there, so that you may believe — but let’s go to him.”
16 Thomase yo o bidiwang “Lewelana” a raya barutwa ba bangwe ka ene a re, “A re tsamaeng le rona re ye go swa nae.”
Therefore Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too, that we may die with Him.”
17 Mme ya re ba goroga kwa Bethania, ba bolelelwa gore Lasaro o setse a le mo phupung malatsi a le mane.
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Bethania o ne a le dimmaele di se kae fela ka tsela e e tswang Jerusalema,
Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away,
19 mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ne ba tsile Maratha le Marea matshidiso.
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Erile fa Maratha a utlwa gore Jesu o e tla, a ya go mo kgatlhantsha, mme Marea ene a sala mo lwapeng.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed home.
21 Maratha a raya Jesu a re, “Morena, fa o ka bo o ne o le fano kgaitsadiake o ka bo a sa swa.
Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 Mme le jaanong ga go ise go fete nako e telele thata, gonne ke itse gore Modimo o tlaa lere kgaitsadiake mo botshelong gape, fa o ka mo kopa gore a dire jalo.”
Even now I know that God will give you whatever You ask of Him.”
23 Jesu a mo raya a re, “Kgaitsadio o tlaa rula.”
Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Maratha a re, “Ee, fa mongwe le mongwe a rula mo Letsatsing la Tsogo.”
Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke nna yo ke tsosang baswi ke bo ke ba naya botshelo gape. Le fa e le mang yo o dumelang mo go nna, le mororo a a swa jaaka mongwe le mongwe, o tlaa tshela gape.
Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live even if they die,
26 O neelwa botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka ntlha ya go dumela mo go nna mme ga a kitla a nyelela, A o dumela se Maratha?” (aiōn g165)
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Mme Maratha a re, “Ee, Morena, ke dumela gore o Mesia, Morwa Modimo, ene tota yo re sa bolong go mo letela.”
“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I have believed that You are the Christ, God’s Son, who was to come into the world.”
28 Mme a mo tlogela a boela kwa go Marea, mme a feta a mmiletsa kwa thoko ga ba ba tsileng ma-tshidiso, a mo raya a re, “Jesu o fano o batla go go bona.”
When she had said this, she went back and called Mary, her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 Mme Marea a itlhaganelela kwa go ene.
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to Him.
30 Ka nako eo Jesu o ne a ntse ka kwa ntle ga motse, kwa lefelong le Maratha a neng a rakana le ene teng.
Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha met Him.
31 Fa baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ba neng ba le mo tlung ba leka go gomotsa Marea ba bona a nanoga ka bofefo, ba ne ba gopola gore o ya kwa phupung ya ga Lasaro go lela; jalo ba mo sala morago.
The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Erile fa Marea a goroga kwa Jesu a leng teng, a wela ka mangole fa pele ga dinao tsa gagwe a mo raya a re, “Morena, fa o ne o le fano, kgaitsadiake o ka bo a sa ntse a tshela.”
When Mary came to where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
33 Erile fa Jesu a mmona a lela, le baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba lela nae a hohomoga mo moweng a huduega.
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 Mme a ba botsa a re, “O fitlhilwe kae?”, “Tla o bone.”
He asked, “Where have you laid him?” They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesu a lela.
Jesus wept.
36 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba re, “Ba ne ba le ditsala tse di ratanang thata. Bonang gore o ne a mo rata jang.”
So the Jews were saying, “See how He loved him!”
37 Mme bangwe ba re, “Motho yo o foufolotse monna wa sefofu, ke eng a ne a sa dire gore Lasaro a seka a swa?” Mme gape Jesu a hohomoga mo moweng. Mme ba tla kwa lebitleng. Lebitla leo e ne e le logaga lo lo tswalwang ka lentswe le legolo thata.
But some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man from dying?”
Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a boulder was placed against the entrance.
39 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Pitikololelang lentswe kwa thoko.” Mme Maratha, kgaitsadia moswi, a re, “Ka nako eno monkgo wa gagwe o tlaa nna maswe thata, gonne o na le malatsi a le mane a sule.”
Jesus said, “Take away the boulder.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, because he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesu a mmotsa a re, “A mme ga ke a go raya ka re o tlaa bona kgakgamatso e e tswang Modimong fa o dumela?”
Jesus told her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you would believe you would see God’s glory?”
41 Mme ba pitikololela lentswe fa thoko. Jesu a leba kwa legodimong mme a re, “Rara, ke lebogela go nkutlwa ga gago.
Then they took the boulder away from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard me.
42 (O nkutlwa ka gale, ee, mme ke ipoeleditse ka ntlha ya batho ba botlhe ba ba emeng fano, gore ba tle ba dumele fa o nthomile).”
I know that You always hear me, but because of the people who are standing here I said this, that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 Mme a goa a re, “Lasaro, tswela kwa ntle!”
Now when He had said these things, He called loudly, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mme Lasaro a tswa a fapilwe ka matsela a phitlho, sefatlhogo sa gagwe se fapilwe ka tuku. Jesu a ba raya a re, “Mmofololeng lo mo lese a tsamaye!”
He who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus told them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
45 Mme jalo lwa bofelo fa baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba na le Marea ba bona tiragalo eo, ba dumela ene!
Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
46 Mme bangwe ba ya kwa Bafarasaing go ba bolelela ka ga gone.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus did.
47 Mme ditlhogo tsa baperesiti tsa bitsa lekgotla go buisanya ka ga tiragalo e. Mme ba botsanya ba re, “Re dirang ka ga tiragalo e, gonne monna yo tota o dira dikgakgamatso?
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What are we doing? For this Man performs many signs.
48 Fa re mo lesa fela, sechaba sotlhe se tlaa mo sala morago, mme masole a Roma a tlaa tla go re bolaya a bo a tsaya mmuso wa Sejuta.”
If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Mme mongwe wa bone ebong Kaeafase, yo a neng a le Moperesiti yo Mogolo mo ngwageng eo, a re, “Dieleele ke lona,
Then a certain one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, “You don’t know anything,
50 tlogelang monna yo a swele batho botlhe, ke eng fa sechaba sotlhe se ka nyelela ka ntlha ya motho a le nosi?”
nor do you take into account that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people, than for the whole nation to perish.”
51 Seporofeto se sa gore Jesu o tshwanetse go swela Sechaba sotlhe, se dule mo go Kaefase a le mo maemong a gagwe jaaka a ne a le Moperesiti yo mogolo, e ne e se ene a se ikakanyeditseng mme o ne a tlhotlhelediwa ke mowa go bua jalo.
He didn’t say this on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 E ne e le polelo pele gore loso lwa ga Jesu e tlaa bo e se lwa Iseraele fela, mme e tlaa bo e le lwa bana ba Modimo ba ba anameng mo lefatsheng lotlhe.
and not for the nation only, but that Jesus might also gather together into one God’s children who are scattered abroad.
53 Jalo go simolola nako eo baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba simolola go tsoma Jesu.
So from that day on, they planned together to kill Jesus.
54 Mme Jesu a khutlisa dithuto tsa gagwe mme a tswa mo Jerusalema, a ya kwa lotshitshing lwa sekaka, kwa motseng wa Eferaima; mme a nna teng le barutwa ba gagwe.
Therefore Jesus stopped walking publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there He stayed with the disciples.
55 Tlolaganyo, e e leng letsatsi la Sejuta la boitapoloso, e ne e le gaufi, mme batho ba le bantsi ba ba tswang kwa dikgaolong ba goroga mo Jerusalema malatsinyana a sa le kwa pele gore ba tle ba tsene mo modirong wa bontlafatso pele ga Tlolaganyo e simolola.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Ba ne ba batla go bona Jesu, mme ka ba ne ba sebaseba mo Tempeleng, ba be ba botsanya ba re, “Lo akanya jang? A o tlaa tla kwa Tlolaganyong?”
Then they were looking for Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? Isn’t He coming to the feast at all?”
57 Ka lone lobaka loo, ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le Bafarasai di ne di anamisitse phatlalatsa gore yo o tlaa bonang Jesu a ba bolelele gore ba tle ba mo tshware.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it, that they might arrest Him.
