3 Saka hanzvadzi dzake dzakatuma shoko kuna Jesu, dzikati, “Ishe, uya wamunoda ari kurwara.”
Wahasha watuma ujumbi kwa Yesu, “Mtuwa, ganja gwaku yagumfira, mlweri!”
4 Akati anzwa izvozvo, Jesu akati, “Kurwara uku hakumusvitsi kurufu. Kwete, kune chokuita nokukudzwa kwaMwari kuitira kuti Mwanakomana waMwari akudzwe kubudikidza naizvozvo.”

6 Asi paakanzwa kuti Razaro akanga achirwara, akagara paakanga ari kwamamwe mazuva maviri.
Pakapatiti shisoweru handa Lazaru mlweri, kulikala pahala panu kwa mashaka mawili nentu.

Wafundwa wamgambira, “Mfunda! Shipindi shifupi hera shipita Wayawudi wafira kukuguma mabuwi, na gwenga gufira kugenda kayi aku?”
9 Jesu akapindura akati, “Ko, nguva hadzizi gumi nembiri pazuva here? Munhu anofamba masikati haagumburwi, nokuti anoona nechiedza chenyika ino.
Yesu kankula, “Lishaka lyana saa lilongu na mawili ndiri, ndo hangu? Pakagendagenda paliwala hapeni kawezi kulikwala, kawona kulangala kwa pasipanu.
10 Anogumburwa paanenge achifamba usiku, nokuti haana chiedza.”
Kumbiti muntu pakagendagenda pashiru katalikwala, Toziya kulangala kwahera.”
11 Akati ataura izvi, akaenderera mberi achiti kwavari, “Shamwari yedu Razaro avata; asi ndiri kuenda ikoko kunomumutsa.”
Yesu katakuliti hangu na pakamaliriti, kawagambira, “Ganja gwetu Lazaru kagonja, kumbiti neni nankugenda na kumyumusiya.”
12 Vadzidzi vake vakapindura vakati, “Ishe, kana akavata, achaita zviri nani.”

22 Asi ndinoziva kuti kunyange izvozvi Mwari achakupai zvose zvamuchakumbira.”
Kumbiti nuvimana handa ata vinu shoseri shagufira kumluwa Mlungu, hakakupi.”
23 Jesu akati kwaari, “Hanzvadzi yako ichamukazve.”
Yesu kamgambira, “Kaka gwaku hakawuyi mkomu kayi.”
24 Marita akati, “Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka kwezuva rokupedzisira.”
Marita kamwankula, “Nuvimana handa hawazyuki shipindi sha uzyukisiwu, mulishaka lya kupelera.”
25 Jesu akati kwaari, “Ndini kumuka noupenyu. Uyo anotenda kwandiri achararama, kunyange dai akafa;

26 uye ani naani anorarama uye anotenda mandiri haangatongofi. Unotenda here izvi?” (aiōn g165)
Na kila yakalikala na kunjimira, hapeni kahowi. Hashi, gujimira aga?” (aiōn g165)
27 Iye akati, “Hongu, Ishe, ndinotenda kuti ndimi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, uyo akanzi achauya panyika.”
Marita kamwankula, “Yina, Mtuwa! Neni njimira handa gwenga ndo Kristu, Mwana gwa Mlungu, uliya yakiza pasipanu.”
28 Akati ataura izvozvo, akadzokera akandodana parutivi mununʼuna wake Maria. Akati, “Mudzidzisi ari pano, uye ari kukubvunza.”
Marita pakatakuliti aga, kagenditi na kumshema Mariya mlongu gwakuwi, kamgambira pagweka, “mfunda kapanu na kafira kukuwona.”
29 Maria akati anzwa izvozvo, akasimuka nokukurumidza akaenda kwaari.
Nayomberi pakapikaniriti aga, kamukamu kagoloka, kamgendera Yesu.
30 Zvino Jesu akanga asati apinda mumusha, asi akanga achiri panzvimbo paya paakanga asangana naMarita.

32 Maria akati asvika panzvimbo pakanga pana Jesu uye akamuona, akawira patsoka dzake akati, “Ishe, dai manga muri pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.”
Mariya pakasokiti pahala palii Yesu pakaweriti na kumwona, kasuntamala, kamgambira, “Mtuwa, handa gwangaweriti panu, kaka gwangu kangahowiti ndiri!”
33 Jesu akati achimuona achichema, uye vaJudha vakanga vauya naye vachichemawo, akabatwa neshungu kwazvo mumweya make uye akatambudzika.

34 Akavabvunza akati, “Mamuradzika kupiko?” Vakati kwaari, “Uyai muone, Ishe.”
Shakapanu kawakosiya, “Lipumba lya koshi?” Wamgambira, “Mtuwa, gwizi na gulori.”
35 Jesu akachema.

37 Asi vamwe vavo vakati, “Ko, uyu akasvinudza bofu akanga asingagoni here kuita kuti munhu uyu arege kufa?”
Kumbiti wamonga wawu watakula, “Hashi, ayu yakamtenditi katumuli masu lwisi uliya, kaweza ndiri kumtenda Lazaru nakahowi?”

Yesu kalagaliriti, “Mliwusiyi libuwi ali!” Marita mlongu gwakuwi ayu yakahowiti kamgambira, “Mtuwa kanja kala kununka, kalikala mulipumba mashaka msheshi!”
40 Ipapo Jesu akati, “Ko, handina kukuudza here kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?”
Yesu kamgambira, “Hashi, nukugambira ndiri handa pagujimira haguwoni ukwisa wa Mlungu?”

Su waliwusiya libuwi lilii, Yesu kalola kumpindi, katakula, “Mayagashii Tati toziya gwenga gumpikanira.
42 Ndinozviziva kuti munogara muchindinzwa, asi ndareva izvi nokuda kwavanhu vamire pano, kuti vatende kuti imi makandituma.”
Nuvimana handa gumpikanira neni. Kumbiti ntakula aga toziya ya wantu awa wapala panu su wapati kujimira handa gwenga ndo yaguntumiti.”
43 Akati areva izvozvo, Jesu akadanidzira nenzwi guru akati, “Razaro, buda!”
Pakamaliriti kutakula aga, kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Lazaru! Gulawi kunja!”
44 Murume akanga afa uya akabuda, maoko ake namakumbo zvakapombwa nemicheka, uye chiso chake chakafukidzwa nomucheka. Jesu akati kwavari, “Mubvisei nguo dzomuguva mumurege aende.”
Uliya yakaweriti kahowa kalawiti kunja, aku wamyopa sanda mmagulu na mmawoku na sheni shakuwi shigubikirwa. Yesu kawagambira, “Mumyopoli, mkamleki kagendi zyakuwi.”
45 Naizvozvo vazhinji vavaJudha vakanga vauya kuzoshanyira Maria, uye vaona zvakanga zvaitwa naJesu, vakatenda kwaari.

Mafalisayu na watambika wakulu waliwoniti Mwashizungu na watakula, “Tutendi shishi? Muntu ayu kankutenda mauzauza nentu.
48 Kana tikamurega achienderera mberi saizvozvi, munhu wose achatenda kwaari, uye vaRoma vachauya vakatitorera zvose nzvimbo yedu nenyika yedu.”
Patumleka hera wantu woseri hawamjimiri, womberi Warumi hawizi kuwalibisiya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu gwetu na isi yetu!”
49 Ipapo mumwe wavo ainzi Kayafasi, akanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro akataura achiti, “Hamuna zvamunoziva imi!

51 Haana kungotaura izvi pachake, asi sezvaakanga ari muprista mukuru wegore iroro, akaprofita kuti Jesu aizofira rudzi rwavaJudha,
Yomberi katakula ndiri hangu ntambu yakafiriti mweni, ira kaweriti mtambika mkulu shinja ashi su katungiti handa Yesu hakahowi toziya ya wantu wa Isi ya Shiyawudi,

54 Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzofamba pachena pakati pavaJudha. Asi akabva akaenda kudunhu raiva pedyo nerenje, kumusha wainzi Efuremu, kwaakandogara navadzidzi vake.

Shipindi sha msambu sha Wayawudi sha Pasaka shiweriti pakwegera na wantu wavuwa walawa muisi wagenditi Yerusalemu su walipungi pa msambu agu.
56 Vakaramba vachitsvaka Jesu, uye pavakanga vamire mutemberi, vakabvunzana vakati, “Munofungeiko? Haasi kuzouya kumutambo here?”
Su, waweriti wankumsakula Yesu. Na womberi pawaliwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, walikosiyana, “Mulihola hashi? Nakaka hakizi ndiri ku msambu agu, awu ndiri?”
57 Asi vaprista vakuru navaFarisi vakanga varayira kuti kana paine anenge aziva kuna Jesu, aifanira kuvazivisa kuitira kuti vagomusunga.
Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayu walagalira kuwera, handa muntu yoseri pakavimaniti pahala pakaweriti Yesu, kalazimika kutakula su wapati kumbata.
