Johani 11
1 Kwaiva neumwe wairwara, wainzi Razaro weBhetaniya, mumusha waMaria nemukoma wake Marita.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Waiva iye Maria wakazodza Ishe nemafuta, akapusika tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake, hanzvadzi yake Razaro wakange achirwara.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
3 Naizvozvo hanzvadzi dzakatumira kwaari dzichiti: Ishe, tarirai uyo wamunoda anorwara.
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
4 Jesu wakati anzwa akati: Ukosha uhu hahusviki murufu, asi ndehwembiri yaMwari, kuti Mwanakomana waMwari arumbidzwe nahwo.
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 Zvino Jesu wakange achida Marita nemunin'ina wake naRazaro.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Naizvozvo wakati anzwa kuti anorwara, ipapo akagara mazuva maviri panzvimbo paakange ari.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Shure kweizvozvo wakati kuvadzidzi: Hendeizve kuJudhiya.
Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
8 Vadzidzi vakati kwaari: Rabhi, VaJudha vachangobva kutsvaka kukutakai nemabwe; zvino moendazve ikoko here?
The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Jesu akapindura akati: Hapana maawa gumi nemaviri masikati here? Kana munhu achifamba masikati, haagumburwi, nokuti anoona chiedza chenyika ino.
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Asi kana munhu achifamba usiku, anogumburwa, nokuti hamuna chiedza maari.
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11 Wakataura zvinhu izvi, shure kweizvozvo ndokuti kwavari: Shamwari yedu Razaro yarara; asi ndinoenda kuti ndimumutse.
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 Naizvozvo vadzidzi vake vakati: Ishe, kana arere, achanaya.
Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13 Asi Jesu wakareva zverufu rwake; asi ivo vakafunga kuti anoreva kuzorora kwehope.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Naizvozvo ipapo Jesu akavaudza pachena: Razaro wafa.
So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
15 Zvino ndinofara nekuda kwenyu kuti ndakange ndisipo, kuti mugotenda; asi hendei kwaari.
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
16 Naizvozvo Tomasi, wainzi Dhidhimo, wakati kuvadzidzi pamwe naye: Hendei isuwo kuti tinofa naye.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
17 Zvino Jesu wakati achisvika, akawana atova muguva mazuva mana.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Zvino Bhetaniya rakange riri pedo neJerusarema, masitadhiya anenge gumi nemashanu kubva ipapo;
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
19 nevazhinji veVaJudha vakange vauya kuna Marita naMaria, kuti vavanyaradze pamusoro pehanzvadzi yavo.
Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Zvino Marita wakati anzwa kuti Jesu wouya, akaenda kunomuchingamidza; asi Maria wakagara mumba.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Marita ndokuti kuna Jesu: Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Asi naikozvino ndinoziva kuti zvipi zvazvo zvamunokumbira kuna Mwari, Mwari achakupai.
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 kwaari: Ndinoziva kuti achamukazve pakumuka nezuva rekupedzisira.
Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25 Jesu akati kwaari: Ndini kumuka neupenyu; anotenda kwandiri, kunyange akafa, achararama;
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 uye umwe neumwe anorarama uye anotenda kwandiri, haangatongofi nekusingaperi. Unotenda izvi here? (aiōn g165)
And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Akati kwaari: Hongu, Ishe; ini ndinotenda kuti ndimwi Kristu, Mwanakomana waMwari, waizouya panyika.
She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."
28 Zvino wakati areva izvi akaenda, akanodana Maria munin'ina wake pachivande, akati: Mudzidzisi wasvika, anokudana.
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
29 Iye wakati achingozvinzwa, akakurumidza kusimuka akaenda kwaari.
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
30 Zvino Jesu wakange asati asvika pamusha, asi wakange achiri panzvimbo Marita paakamuchingamidza.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
31 Naizvozvo VaJudha vakange vanaye mumba vachimunyaradza, vakati vachiona Maria kuti wakasimuka nekukurumidza achibuda, vakamutevera vachiti: Anoenda kuguva kuti acheme ikoko.
Then the Judeans 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, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Zvino Maria, wakati achisvika pakange pana Jesu, achimuona, akawira patsoka dzake, achiti kwaari: Ishe, dai maiva pano, hanzvadzi yangu ingadai isina kufa.
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 would not have died."
33 Naizvozvo Jesu wakati achimuona achichema, VaJudhawo vachichema vakange vauya naye, akagomera mumweya, akazvitambudza,
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 akati: Mamuradzikepi? Vakati kwaari: Ishe, uyai muone.
and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Jesu akachema misodzi.
Jesus wept.
36 Zvino VaJudha vakati: Tarirai kuti waimuda sei.
The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
37 Asi vamwe vavo vakati: Uyu wakasvinudza meso ebofu, haagoni kuita here kuti uyuwo asafa?
But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
38 Naizvozvo Jesu wakagomerazve mukati make asvika paguva. Zvino raiva bako, nebwe rakange rakaradzikwa pamusoro paro.
So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesu akati: Bvisai ibwe. Marita hanzvadzi yewakafa akati kwaari: Ishe, wotonhuhwa; nokuti ane mazuva mana.
Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
40 Jesu akati kwaari: Handina kutaura here kwauri, kuti kana ukatenda, uchaona kubwinya kwaMwari?
Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
41 Naizvozvo vakabvisa ibwe, pakange paradzikwa wakafa. Jesu ndokusimudzira meso kumusoro, ndokuti: Baba, ndinokuvongai nokuti mandinzwa.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Asi ini ndanga ndichiziva kuti munondinzwa nguva dzese; asi nekuda kwechaunga chakakomberedza ndareva, kuti vatende kuti imwi makandituma.
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 Zvino wakati areva izvozvi, akadanidzira nenzwi guru, akati: Razaro, buda!
When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 Uyo wakange afa ndokubuda, akasungwa makumbo nemaoko nemicheka yeguva, nechiso chake chakapombwa nemucheka wekumeso. Jesu akati kwavari: Musunungurei, mumurege aende.
The man who had died 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 Naizvozvo vazhinji veVaJudha, vakange vauya kuna Maria vakati vaona Jesu zvaakaita, vakatenda kwaari.
Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
46 Asi vamwe vavo vakaenda kuVaFarisi, ndokuvaudza zvinhu Jesu zvaakange aita.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Naizvozvo vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakaunganidza dare remakurukota, vakati: Todini? Nokuti uyu munhu anoita zviratidzo zvizhinji.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Kana tikamurega akadaro, vese vachatenda kwaari; neVaRoma vachauya vakatora zviri zviviri nzvimbo nerudzi rwedu.
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 Asi umwe wavo, Kayafasi, wakange ari mupristi mukuru gore iroro, akati kwavari: Hamuzivi chinhu imwi,
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50 uye hamurangariri kuti zvakatinakira kuti munhu umwe afire vanhu, uye rudzi rwese rurege kuparara.
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
51 Asi haana kureva izvi pachake, asi zvaakange ari mupristi mukuru gore iro, wakaporofita kuti Jesu waizofira rudzi urwo,
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 uye kwete rudzi urwo rwega, asi kutiwo aunganidze vana vaMwari vakapararira vave umwe.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Zvino kubva pazuva iro vakarangana kuti vamuuraye.
So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
54 Naizvozvo Jesu haana kuzombofamba pachena pakati peVaJudha, asi wakabvapo akaenda kunyika iri pedo nerenje, kuguta rainzi Efuremu, ndokugarako nevadzidzi vake.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and stayed there with his disciples.
55 Zvino pasika yeVaJudha yakange yaswedera; vazhinji ndokubuda mumaruwa vakakwira kuJerusarema pasika isati yasvika, kuti vazvichenure.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Naizvozvo vakatsvaka Jesu, vakataurirana vamire mutembere, vachiti: Munofungei? Kuti haangatongouyi kumutambo here?
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?"
57 Zvino vese vapristi vakuru neVaFarisi vakange vapa murairo kuti kana kune anoziva kwaari, azivise, kuti vamubate.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.
