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, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
It was that Mary who had 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.”
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection 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 it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Lefa Jesu a ne a rata Maratha le Marea le Lasaro thata,
Now Jesus 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.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Lwa bofelo morago ga malatsi a mabedi, a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “A re yeng kwa Judea.”
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into 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 asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you 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, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he 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 if a man walks in the night, he 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!”
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
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, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Mme a ba bolelela sentle a re, “Lasaro o sule.
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “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.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, 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.”
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, 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.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Bethania o ne a le dimmaele di se kae fela ka tsela e e tswang Jerusalema,
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ne ba tsile Maratha le Marea matshidiso.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console 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.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed 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.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have 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 whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jesu a mo raya a re, “Kgaitsadio o tlaa rula.”
Jesus said to her, “Your 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 at 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 will still live, even if he dies.
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)
Whoever 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.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes 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 away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling 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.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in 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.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, 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.”
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have 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 therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 Mme a ba botsa a re, “O fitlhilwe kae?”, “Tla o bone.”
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told 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.”
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for 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.
Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay 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 him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for 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 said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, 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.
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to 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 listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 Mme a goa a re, “Lasaro, tswela kwa ntle!”
When he had said this, he cried 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!”
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free 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 came to Mary and saw what 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 the things which 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?
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does 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 leave him alone 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,
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
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 advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not 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.
Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would 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 he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Jalo go simolola nako eo baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba simolola go tsoma Jesu.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
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.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there 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 at hand. Many went up from the country 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 sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t 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 commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
