Johani 11
1 Zvino mumwe murume ainzi Razaro akanga achirwara. Aibva kuBhetani, musha waMaria naMarita mukoma wake.
Kwakukhona-ke othile owayegula othiwa nguLazaro weBethani, emzaneni kaMariya loMarta udadewabo.
2 Maria uyu, ane hanzvadzi yake Razaro akanga avete achirwara, ndiye uya akadururira mafuta anonhuhwira pana Ishe uye akapukuta tsoka dzake nebvudzi rake.
Kwakunguye uMariya owagcoba iNkosi ngamagcobo, wesula inyawo zayo ngenwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaro wayegula.
3 Saka hanzvadzi dzake dzakatuma shoko kuna Jesu, dzikati, “Ishe, uya wamunoda ari kurwara.”
Ngakho odadewabo bathumela kuye besithi: Nkosi, khangela lowo omthandayo uyagula.
4 Akati anzwa izvozvo, Jesu akati, “Kurwara uku hakumusvitsi kurufu. Kwete, kune chokuita nokukudzwa kwaMwari kuitira kuti Mwanakomana waMwari akudzwe kubudikidza naizvozvo.”
UJesu esezwile wathi: Lokhu ukugula kakusikho okokufa, kodwa kungokodumo lukaNkulunkulu ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu idunyiswe ngakho.
5 Jesu aida Marita, nomununʼuna wake uye naRazaro.
UJesu wayebathanda-ke oMarta lodadewabo loLazaro.
6 Asi paakanzwa kuti Razaro akanga achirwara, akagara paakanga ari kwamamwe mazuva maviri.
Ngakho esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wasehlala insuku ezimbili endaweni lapho ayekhona.
7 Ipapo akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Ngatidzokerei kuJudhea.”
Emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubafundi: Asiphinde siye eJudiya.
8 Vakati kwaari, “Asika Rabhi, nguva pfupi ichangopfuura, vaJudha vakanga vachiedza kukutakai namabwe, zvino munoda kudzokerazve ikoko here?”
Abafundi bathi kuye: Rabi, amaJuda asanda ukudinga ukukukhanda ngamatshe, njalo uya khona futhi yini?
9 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ko, nguva hadzizi gumi nembiri pazuva here? Munhu anofamba masikati haagumburwi, nokuti anoona nechiedza chenyika ino.
UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho amahola alitshumi lambili emini yini? Nxa umuntu ehamba emini, kakhubeki, ngoba uyabona ukukhanya kwalumhlaba.
10 Anogumburwa paanenge achifamba usiku, nokuti haana chiedza.”
Kodwa uba umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngoba ukukhanya kakukho kuye.
11 Akati ataura izvi, akaenderera mberi achiti kwavari, “Shamwari yedu Razaro avata; asi ndiri kuenda ikoko kunomumutsa.”
Wakhuluma lezizinto, emva kwalokhu wasesithi kubo: Umngane wethu uLazaro uselele; kodwa ngiyahamba ukuze ngimvuse ebuthongweni.
12 Vadzidzi vake vakapindura vakati, “Ishe, kana akavata, achaita zviri nani.”
Ngakho abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Nkosi, uba elele, uzaphila.
13 Jesu akanga achitaura nezvorufu rwake, asi vadzidzi vake vakafunga kuti akanga achireva kuvata hope chaidzo.
Kodwa uJesu wakhuluma ngokufa kwakhe; kodwa bona bacabanga ukuthi wakhuluma ngokuphumula kobuthongo.
14 Saka ipapo akavataurira pachena akati, “Razaro afa,
Ngakho uJesu wasebatshela ngokucacileyo: ULazaro ufile.
15 uye nokuda kwenyu, ndinofara nokuti ndakanga ndisiko, kuitira kuti imi mugotenda. Asi ngatichiendai kwaari.”
Njalo ngiyathokoza ngenxa yenu ukuthi bengingekho lapho, ukuze likholwe; kodwa asiye kuye.
16 Ipapo Tomasi Dhidhimo akati kuvadzidzi vose, “Ngatiendei, kuti tinofawo naye.”
Ngakho uTomasi, othiwa nguDidimusi, wathi kubafundi kanye laye: Asihambeni lathi, ukuze sife kanye laye.
17 Jesu paakasvika akawana Razaro anguva ava muguva kwamazuva mana.
Kwathi esefika uJesu, wamfica eselensuku ezine engcwabeni.
18 Bhetani yaiva makiromita angangosvika matatu kubva muJerusarema,
LeBethani yayiseduze leJerusalema, okungaba ngamastadiyu alitshumi lanhlanu ukusuka lapho;
19 uye vaJudha vazhinji vakanga vauya kuna Marita naMaria kuti vazovanyaradza pakurasikirwa kwavo nehanzvadzi yavo.
labanengi kumaJuda babefikile kuMarta loMariya, ukuze babaduduze ngomnewabo.
20 Marita akati anzwa kuti Jesu auya, akabuda kundomuchingamidza, asi Maria akasara mumba.
Ngakho uMarta, esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wayamhlangabeza; kodwa uMariya wahlala endlini.
21 Marita akati kuna Jesu, “Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
UMarta wasesithi kuJesu: Nkosi, aluba ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga;
22 Asi ndinoziva kuti kunyange izvozvi Mwari achakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira.”
kodwa lakhathesi ngiyazi ukuthi loba yini ongayicela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakunika yona.
23 Jesu akati kwaari, “Hanzvadzi yako ichamukazve.”
UJesu wathi kuye: Umnewenu uzabuya avuke.
24 Marita akati, “Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka kwezuva rokupedzisira.”
UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uzabuya avuke ekuvukeni ngosuku lokucina.
25 Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndini kumuka noupenyu. Uyo anotenda kwandiri achararama, kunyange dai akafa;
UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngiyikuvuka lempilo; okholwa kimi, loba esefile, uzaphila;
njalo wonke ophilayo ekholwa kimi, kasoze afe laphakade. Uyakukholwa lokhu yini? (aiōn g165)
27 Iye akati, “Hongu, Ishe, ndinotenda kuti ndimi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uyo akanzi achauya panyika.”
Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi; mina ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, obezakuza emhlabeni.
28 Akati ataura izvozvo, akadzokera akandodana parutivi mununʼuna wake Maria. Akati, “Mudzidzisi ari pano, uye ari kukubvunza.”
Esetshilo lokhu uMarta wasuka, wayabiza udadewabo uMariya ensitha, wathi: UMfundisi ulapha uyakubiza.
29 Maria akati anzwa izvozvo, akasimuka nokukurumidza akaenda kwaari.
Yena-ke esezwile lokhu, wahle wasukuma waya kuye.
30 Zvino Jesu akanga asati apinda mumusha, asi akanga achiri panzvimbo paya paakanga asangana naMarita.
Kodwa uJesu wayengakafiki emzaneni, kodwa wayesendaweni lapho uMarta amhlangabeza khona.
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.
Ngakho amaJuda ayesendlini laye emduduza, ebona uMariya ukuthi wasukuma ngokuphangisa ephuma, amlandela, esithi: Uya engcwabeni, ukuze akhale khona.
32 Maria akati asvika panzvimbo pakanga pana Jesu uye akamuona, akawira patsoka dzake akati, “Ishe, dai manga muri pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.”
Kwathi uMariya, esefike lapho uJesu akhona, embona, wawela enyaweni zakhe, esithi kuye: Nkosi, ngabe ubukhona lapha, umnewethu ngabe kafanga.
33 Jesu akati achimuona achichema, uye vaJudha vakanga vauya naye vachichemawo, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo mumweya make uye akatambudzika.
Ngakho uJesu wathi embona ekhala, lamaJuda afika laye ekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wazikhathaza,
34 Akavabvunza akati, “Mamuradzika kupiko?” Vakati kwaari, “Uyai muone, Ishe.”
wathi: Limbeke ngaphi? Bathi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone.
35 Jesu akachema.
UJesu walila.
36 Ipapo vaJudha vakati, “Onai kuti aimuda sei!”
Ngakho amaJuda athi: Khangelani ukuthi ubemthanda njani.
37 Asi vamwe vavo vakati, “Ko, uyu akasvinudza bofu akanga asingagoni here kuita kuti munhu uyu arege kufa?”
Kodwa amanye awo athi: Lo, owavula amehlo esiphofu, ubengekwenze yini ukuthi lalo angafi?
38 Jesu, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo, akasvika paguva. Rakanga riri bako rine dombo rakanga rakaradzikwa rakachinjika mukova waro.
Ngakho uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe wafika engcwabeni. Njalo lalilubhalu, lelitshe libekwe phezu kwalo.
39 Akati, “Bvisai ibwe.” Marita, hanzvadzi yomurume akanga afa akati, “Asika, Ishe, pari zvino ava kunhuhwa, nokuti atova mazuva mana arimo.”
UJesu wathi: Susani ilitshe. UMarta udadewabo wofileyo wathi kuye: Nkosi, usenuka; ngoba uselensuku ezine.
40 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ko, handina kukuudza here kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?”
UJesu wathi kuye: Kangitshongo yini kuwe, ukuthi uba ukholwa, uzabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu?
41 Saka vakabvisa ibwe. Ipapo Jesu akatarisa kudenga akati, “Baba, ndinokuvongai nokuti mandinzwa.
Balisusa-ke ilitshe, lapho okwakulele khona ofileyo. UJesu wasephakamisela amehlo akhe phezulu, wathi: Baba, ngiyakubonga ngoba wena ungizwile.
42 Ndinozviziva kuti munogara muchindinzwa, asi ndareva izvi nokuda kwavanhu vamire pano, kuti vatende kuti imi makandituma.”
Kodwa mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalonjalo; kodwa ngenxa yexuku elingiphahlileyo ngitshilo lokhu, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi ungithumile.
43 Akati areva izvozvo, Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru akati, “Razaro, buda!”
Esetshilo lezizinto, wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Lazaro, phuma!
44 Murume akanga afa uya akabuda, maoko ake namakumbo zvakapombwa nemicheka, uye chiso chake chakafukidzwa nomucheka. Jesu akati kwavari, “Mubvisei nguo dzomuguva mumurege aende.”
Wasephuma owayefile, ebotshiwe inyawo lezandla ngamalembu okuthandela isidumbu, lobuso bakhe bugoqelwe ngeqhiye. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyekele ahambe.
45 Naizvozvo vazhinji vavaJudha vakanga vauya kuzoshanyira Maria, uye vaona zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, vakatenda kwaari.
Ngakho abanengi kumaJuda, ababeze kuMariya bebona izinto azenzileyo uJesu, bakholwa kuye.
46 Asi vamwe vavo vakaenda kuvaFarisi vakavaudza zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu.
Kodwa abanye babo baya kubaFarisi, babatshela izinto azenzileyo uJesu.
47 Ipapo vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakadana musangano weDare Guru ravaJudha. Vakati, “Tiri kuiteiko? Hounoka murume ari kuita zviratidzo zvesimba zvizhinji.
Ngakho abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi baqoqa umphakathi, bathi: Sizakwenzani? Ngoba umuntu lo wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi;
48 Kana tikamurega achienderera mberi saizvozvi, munhu wose achatenda kwaari, uye vaRoma vachauya vakatitorera zvose nzvimbo yedu nenyika yedu.”
uba simyekele njalo, bonke bazakholwa kuye; amaRoma asezakuza athathe lindawo lesizwe sakithi.
49 Ipapo mumwe wavo ainzi Kayafasi, akanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro akataura achiti, “Hamuna zvamunoziva imi!
Kodwa omunye wabo, uKayafasi, owayengumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, wathi kubo: Kalazi lutho lina,
50 Hamuzivi here kuti zviri nani kwamuri kuti munhu mumwe afire vanhu pano kuti rudzi rwose ruparare.”
futhi kalinakani ukuthi kusilungele ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, lokuthi isizwe sonke singabhubhi.
51 Haana kungotaura izvi pachake, asi sezvaakanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro, akaprofita kuti Jesu aizofira rudzi rwavaJudha,
Kodwa kazitsholongo lokhu ngokwakhe, kodwa engumpristi omkhulu ngalowomnyaka, waprofetha ukuthi uJesu uzafela lesosizwe,
52 uye rusati rwuri rudzi irworwo bedzi asiwo vana vaMwari vakapararira, kuti avaunganidze agovaita vamwe.
njalo kungabi yisizwe kuphela, kodwa ukuze abuthele ndawonye labantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekileyo babe munye.
53 Saka kubva pazuva iroro zvichienda mberi, vakarangana kumuuraya.
Ngakho kusukela kulolosuku benza ndawonye icebo ukuze bambulale.
54 Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzofamba pachena pakati pavaJudha. Asi akabva akaenda kudunhu raiva pedyo nerenje, kumusha wainzi Efuremu, kwaakandogara navadzidzi vake.
Ngakho uJesu kabesahamba obala phakathi kwamaJuda, kodwa wasuka lapho waya elizweni eliseduze lenkangala, emzini othiwa yiEfrayimi, wasehlala khona labafundi bakhe.
55 Pasika yavaJudha yakati yoswedera, vazhinji vaibva munyika iyo vakakwidza kuJerusarema kuti vandozvinatsa Pasika isati yasvika.
Laselisondele iphasika lamaJuda; labanengi abavela emaphandleni benyukela eJerusalema lingakafiki iphasika, ukuze bazihlambulule.
56 Vakaramba vachitsvaka Jesu, uye pavakanga vamire mutemberi, vakabvunzana vakati, “Munofungeiko? Haasi kuzouya kumutambo here?”
Ngakho bamdinga uJesu, bekhulumisana bemi ethempelini besithi: Licabangani? Lithi isibili kayikuza emkhosini yini?
57 Asi vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakanga varayira kuti kana paine anenge aziva kuna Jesu, aifanira kuvazivisa kuitira kuti vagomusunga.
Kodwa bonke abapristi abakhulu labaFarisi babekhuphe umlayo wokuthi uba ekhona owaziyo lapho akhona, akubike ukuze bambambe.
