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 man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
(Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who 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.”
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, behold, the one yoʋ 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.”
But when Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Lefa Jesu a ne a rata Maratha le Marea le Lasaro thata,
Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister Mary, 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.
But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he 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 that he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
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 seeking to stone yoʋ, and yet you are going there again?”
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, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not 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 if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Mme a bua a re, “Tsala ya rona Lasaro o robetse, mme jaanong ke ya go mo tsosa!”
After saying this, he said to 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.
His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
(They thought Jesus was speaking about natural sleep, but he was actually speaking about Lazarus' death.)
14 Mme a ba bolelela sentle a re, “Lasaro o sule.
Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
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 rejoice for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us 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.”
Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so 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 been in the tomb for four days already.
18 Bethania o ne a le dimmaele di se kae fela ka tsela e e tswang Jerusalema,
Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19 mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ne ba tsile Maratha le Marea matshidiso.
and many of the Jews had joined the women who were with Martha and Mary, to console them about 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 to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
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 yoʋ had been here, my brother would not 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.”
But even now I know that God will give yoʋ whatever yoʋ ask of him.”
23 Jesu a mo raya a re, “Kgaitsadio o tlaa rula.”
Jesus said to her, “Yoʋr brother will rise again.”
24 Maratha a re, “Ee, fa mongwe le mongwe a rula mo Letsatsing la Tsogo.”
Martha said to him, “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 said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
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)
No one who lives and believes in me will ever die. Do yoʋ 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.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God, who is 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.”
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for yoʋ.”
29 Mme Marea a itlhaganelela kwa go ene.
When Mary heard this, she rose 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.
(Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha had 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.
When the Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw her rise 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 and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not 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 had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and troubled.
34 Mme a ba botsa a re, “O fitlhilwe kae?”, “Tla o bone.”
He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “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 said, “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, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have also kept this man from dying?”
Deeply moved once more, Jesus came to the tomb. (It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.)
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 stone.” Martha, the sister of the man who had died, said to him, “Lord, there is already a stench, for it is the fourth day.”
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 said to her, “Did I not tell yoʋ that if yoʋ believed yoʋ would see the glory of God?”
41 Mme ba pitikololela lentswe fa thoko. Jesu a leba kwa legodimong mme a re, “Rara, ke lebogela go nkutlwa ga gago.
So they took away the stone from where the dead man was lying. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank yoʋ that yoʋ 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 yoʋ always hear me, but I say this for the benefit of the crowd that is standing here, so that they may believe that yoʋ sent me.”
43 Mme a goa a re, “Lasaro, tswela kwa ntle!”
After saying this, he cried out with a loud voice, “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!”
Then the man who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to 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!
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 Mme bangwe ba ya kwa Bafarasaing go ba bolelela ka ga gone.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
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?
So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a meeting of the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? For this man is doing 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 allow him to continue like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our holy 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,
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You do not 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 consider that it is better for us to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation 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 said this not of his own accord, but as 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 only for the nation, but also to gather together and unite the children of God scattered abroad.)
53 Jalo go simolola nako eo baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba simolola go tsoma Jesu.
So from that day they plotted together to kill him.
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 no longer went around openly among the Jews. Instead, he departed from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he spent time with his 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 people went up to Jerusalem from the countryside to purify themselves before the Passover.
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?”
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he will not come 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 an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it, so that they could arrest him.)
