Johani 11
1 Zvino mumwe murume ainzi Razaro akanga achirwara. Aibva kuBhetani, musha waMaria naMarita mukoma wake.
Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha
2 Maria uyu, ane hanzvadzi yake Razaro akanga avete achirwara, ndiye uya akadururira mafuta anonhuhwira pana Ishe uye akapukuta tsoka dzake nebvudzi rake.
- it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
3 Saka hanzvadzi dzake dzakatuma shoko kuna Jesu, dzikati, “Ishe, uya wamunoda ari kurwara.”
So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."
4 Akati anzwa izvozvo, Jesu akati, “Kurwara uku hakumusvitsi kurufu. Kwete, kune chokuita nokukudzwa kwaMwari kuitira kuti Mwanakomana waMwari akudzwe kubudikidza naizvozvo.”
When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."
5 Jesu aida Marita, nomununʼuna wake uye naRazaro.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Asi paakanzwa kuti Razaro akanga achirwara, akagara paakanga ari kwamamwe mazuva maviri.
However, when he heard that he was ill,
7 Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatidzokerei kuJudhea.”
he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."
8 Vakati kwaari, “Asika Rabhi, nguva pfupi ichangopfuura, vaJudha vakanga vachiedza kukutakai namabwe, zvino munoda kudzokerazve ikoko here?”
"Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ko, nguva hadzizi gumi nembiri pazuva here? Munhu anofamba masikati haagumburwi, nokuti anoona nechiedza chenyika ino.
Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;
10 Anogumburwa paanenge achifamba usiku, nokuti haana chiedza.”
but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
11 Akati ataura izvi, akaenderera mberi achiti kwavari, “Shamwari yedu Razaro avata; asi ndiri kuenda ikoko kunomumutsa.”
This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."
12 Vadzidzi vake vakapindura vakati, “Ishe, kana akavata, achaita zviri nani.”
"Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.
13 Jesu akanga achitaura nezvorufu rwake, asi vadzidzi vake vakafunga kuti akanga achireva kuvata hope chaidzo.
Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.
14 Saka ipapo akavataurira pachena akati, “Razaro afa,
So then he told them plainly.
15 uye nokuda kwenyu, ndinofara nokuti ndakanga ndisiko, kuitira kuti imi mugotenda. Asi ngatichiendai kwaari.”
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."
16 Ipapo Tomasi Dhidhimo akati kuvadzidzi vose, “Ngatiendei, kuti tinofawo naye.”
Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."
17 Jesu paakasvika akawana Razaro anguva ava muguva kwamazuva mana.
so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.
18 Bhetani yaiva makiromita angangosvika matatu kubva muJerusarema,
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away;
19 uye vaJudha vazhinji vakanga vauya kuna Marita naMaria kuti vazovanyaradza pakurasikirwa kwavo nehanzvadzi yavo.
so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.
20 Marita akati anzwa kuti Jesu auya, akabuda kundomuchingamidza, asi Maria akasara mumba.
So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house.
21 Marita akati kuna Jesu, “Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died;
22 Asi ndinoziva kuti kunyange izvozvi Mwari achakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira.”
but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Jesu akati kwaari, “Hanzvadzi yako ichamukazve.”
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Marita akati, “Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka kwezuva rokupedzisira.”
Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day."
25 Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndini kumuka noupenyu. Uyo anotenda kwandiri achararama, kunyange dai akafa;
"I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.
And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Iye akati, “Hongu, Ishe, ndinotenda kuti ndimi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uyo akanzi achauya panyika.”
"Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
28 Akati ataura izvozvo, akadzokera akandodana parutivi mununʼuna wake Maria. Akati, “Mudzidzisi ari pano, uye ari kukubvunza.”
With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."
29 Maria akati anzwa izvozvo, akasimuka nokukurumidza akaenda kwaari.
So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.
30 Zvino Jesu akanga asati apinda mumusha, asi akanga achiri panzvimbo paya paakanga asangana naMarita.
Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.
31 VaJudha vakanga vari mumba naMaria, vachimunyaradza, vakati vachiona kuti akurumidza sei kusimuka achibuda kunze, vakamutevera, vachifunga kuti zvimwe akanga oenda kuguva kuti andochema ikoko.
Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Maria akati asvika panzvimbo pakanga pana Jesu uye akamuona, akawira patsoka dzake akati, “Ishe, dai manga muri pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.”
When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."
33 Jesu akati achimuona achichema, uye vaJudha vakanga vauya naye vachichemawo, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo mumweya make uye akatambudzika.
Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.
34 Akavabvunza akati, “Mamuradzika kupiko?” Vakati kwaari, “Uyai muone, Ishe.”
"Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.
35 Jesu akachema.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Ipapo vaJudha vakati, “Onai kuti aimuda sei!”
"See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,
37 Asi vamwe vavo vakati, “Ko, uyu akasvinudza bofu akanga asingagoni here kuita kuti munhu uyu arege kufa?”
"Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"
38 Jesu, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo, akasvika paguva. Rakanga riri bako rine dombo rakanga rakaradzikwa rakachinjika mukova waro.
Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.
39 Akati, “Bvisai ibwe.” Marita, hanzvadzi yomurume akanga afa akati, “Asika, Ishe, pari zvino ava kunhuhwa, nokuti atova mazuva mana arimo.”
"Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."
40 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ko, handina kukuudza here kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?”
Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"
41 Saka vakabvisa ibwe. Ipapo Jesu akatarisa kudenga akati, “Baba, ndinokuvongai nokuti mandinzwa.
Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.
42 Ndinozviziva kuti munogara muchindinzwa, asi ndareva izvi nokuda kwavanhu vamire pano, kuti vatende kuti imi makandituma.”
"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."
43 Akati areva izvozvo, Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru akati, “Razaro, buda!”
When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
44 Murume akanga afa uya akabuda, maoko ake namakumbo zvakapombwa nemicheka, uye chiso chake chakafukidzwa nomucheka. Jesu akati kwavari, “Mubvisei nguo dzomuguva mumurege aende.”
Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."
45 Naizvozvo vazhinji vavaJudha vakanga vauya kuzoshanyira Maria, uye vaona zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, vakatenda kwaari.
Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;
46 Asi vamwe vavo vakaenda kuvaFarisi vakavaudza zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu.
but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Ipapo vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakadana musangano weDare Guru ravaJudha. Vakati, “Tiri kuiteiko? Hounoka murume ari kuita zviratidzo zvesimba zvizhinji.
So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
48 Kana tikamurega achienderera mberi saizvozvi, munhu wose achatenda kwaari, uye vaRoma vachauya vakatitorera zvose nzvimbo yedu nenyika yedu.”
"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."
49 Ipapo mumwe wavo ainzi Kayafasi, akanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro akataura achiti, “Hamuna zvamunoziva imi!
But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 Hamuzivi here kuti zviri nani kwamuri kuti munhu mumwe afire vanhu pano kuti rudzi rwose ruparare.”
"You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."
51 Haana kungotaura izvi pachake, asi sezvaakanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro, akaprofita kuti Jesu aizofira rudzi rwavaJudha,
now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of the nation,
52 uye rusati rwuri rudzi irworwo bedzi asiwo vana vaMwari vakapararira, kuti avaunganidze agovaita vamwe.
and not in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.
53 Saka kubva pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi, vakarangana kumuuraya.
So from that day they plotted to kill him.
54 Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzofamba pachena pakati pavaJudha. Asi akabva akaenda kudunhu raiva pedyo nerenje, kumusha wainzi Efuremu, kwaakandogara navadzidzi vake.
Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,
55 Pasika yavaJudha yakati yoswedera, vazhinji vaibva munyika iyo vakakwidza kuJerusarema kuti vandozvinatsa Pasika isati yasvika.
and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.
56 Vakaramba vachitsvaka Jesu, uye pavakanga vamire mutemberi, vakabvunzana vakati, “Munofungeiko? Haasi kuzouya kumutambo here?”
So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not come to the feast at all?"
57 Asi vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakanga varayira kuti kana paine anenge aziva kuna Jesu, aifanira kuvazivisa kuitira kuti vagomusunga.
Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
