Johani 12
1 Zvino mazuva matanhatu pasika isati yasvika Jesu wakasvika Bhetaniya, paiva naRazaro wakange afa, waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Naizvozvo vakamuitira chirairo ipapo, uye Marita waishandira; naRazaro wakange ari umwe wevakange vagere naye pakudya.
So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
3 Zvino Maria akatora paundi yemafuta enadhi amene, ane mutengo mukuru, akazodza tsoka dzaJesu, akapusika tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake; imba ikazadzwa nekunhuhwira kwemafuta.
Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Naizvozvo umwe wevadzidzi vake, Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni wakange achazomutengesa, akati:
Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 Mafuta awa aregerei kutengeswa nemadhenario mazana matatu, akapiwa varombo?
“Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 Wakarevawo izvi, kwete kuti wakava nehanya nevarombo, asi nokuti waiva mbavha, uye waiva nechikwama, achitakura zvaiiswamo.
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 Naizvozvo Jesu wakati: Muregei; wamachengetedzera zuva rekuvigwa kwangu.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 Nokuti varombo munavo nguva dzese, asi ini hamuneni nguva dzese.
For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
9 Naizvozvo chaunga chikuru cheVaJudha chakaziva kuti aripo; ndokuuya kwete nekuda kwaJesu chete, asi kuti vaonewo Razaro, waakange amutsa kubva kuvakafa.
A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Asi vapristi vakuru vakarangana kuti vauraye Razarowo;
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
11 nokuti nekuda kwake vazhinji veVaJudha vaibva, vachitenda kuna Jesu.
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 Chifume chaunga chikuru chakange chauya kumutambo, chakati chanzwa kuti Jesu anouya kuJerusarema,
On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 vakatora matavi emichindwe, vakabuda kunomuchingamidza, vakadanidzira vachiti: Hosana! Wakaropafadzwa anouya muzita raIshe, Mambo waIsraeri.
they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 Zvino Jesu awana dhongwana, akagara pamusoro paro, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 Usatya, mukunda weZiyoni; tarira, Mambo wako anouya, agere pamusoro pedhongwana rembongoro.
“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 Vadzidzi vake havana kunzwisisa zvinhu izvi pakutanga; asi Jesu wakati akudzwa, ipapo vakazorangarira kuti zvinhu izvi zvakange zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, uye vakange vamuitira zvinhu izvi.
His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Naizvozvo chaunga chaiva naye paakadana Razaro kuti abude muguva, nekumumutsa kubva kuvakafa, chakapupura.
The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 Saka chaunga chakamuchingamidzawo, nokuti vakange vanzwa kuti wakaita chiratidzo ichochi.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakataurirana, vachiti: Munoona kuti hamubatsiri chinhu; tarirai nyika inomutevera.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Zvino kwaiva nevamwe VaGiriki pakati pevakange vakwira kuti vanonamata kumutambo;
Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 ava ndokuuya kuna Firipi weBhetisaidha reGarirea, vakamukumbira vachiti: Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.
Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Firipi akasvika akaudza Andiriya; uye Andiriya naFiripi vakaudzazve Jesu.
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 Jesu ndokuvapindura achiti: Awa rasvika rekuti Mwanakomana wemunhu akudzwe.
Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunze kwekuti tsanga yegorosi yawira muvhu ikafa, iyo inogara iri yega; asi kana ikafa, inobereka chibereko chakawanda.
Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; neanovenga upenyu hwake panyika ino achahuchengetedza kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it for consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
26 Kana munhu achindishandira, ngaanditevere; nepandiri ini, achavapowo muranda wangu. Uye kana munhu achindishandira, Baba vachamukudza.
If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Ikozvino mweya wangu unotambudzika; zvino ndichatii? Baba, ndiponesei paawa rino. Asi nekuda kweizvi ndasvika paawa rino.
“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
28 Baba, kudzai zita renyu. Naizvozvo inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga, richiti: Ndarikudzawo, uye ndicharikudzazve.
Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Naizvozvo chaunga chakange chimire chichizvinzwa chakati: Kwatinhira. Vamwe vakati: Mutumwa wataura naye.
Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Jesu akapindura akati: Inzwi iri harina kuuya nekuda kwangu, asi nekuda kwenyu.
Jesus answered, “This voice has not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Ikozvino pane mutongo wenyika ino; ikozvino mutungamiriri wenyika ino achadzingirwa panze.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 Neni, kana ndasimudzwa panyika, ndichakwevera vese kwandiri.
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 Wakarevawo izvi achiratidza kuti waizofa nerufu rwakadini.
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 Chaunga chakamupindura chichiti: Isu takanzwa pamurairo kuti Kristu achagara nekusingaperi; zvino imwi moreva sei kuti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kusimudzwa? Ndiani uyu Mwanakomana wemunhu? (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him, "We have heard from of the law that the Christ remains for this age (aiōn g165). How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"
35 Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Pachine chinguvana chiedza chichinemwi. Fambai muchine chiedza, zvimwe rima ringakukundai; uye anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda.
Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Muchine chiedza, tendai kuchiedza, kuti muve vana vechiedza. Jesu wakareva zvinhu izvi, akabva, akazvivanza kwavari.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Kunyange akange aita zviratidzo zvizhinji kudai pamberi pavo, havana kutenda kwaari;
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
38 kuti shoko raIsaya muporofita rizadziswe, raakareva achiti: Ishe, ndiani wakatenda mharidzo yedu? Neruoko rwaIshe rwakazarurirwa kuna ani?
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Naizvozvo vakange vasingagoni kutenda, nokuti Isaya wakatizve:
For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 Wakapofumadza meso avo, akaomesa moyo wavo; kuti varege kuona nemeso kana kunzwisisa nemoyo, vagotendeuka, ndigovaporesa.
“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
41 Isaya wakareva zvinhu izvi, paakaona kubwinya kwake, ndokutaura pamusoro pake.
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Asi kunyange zvakadaro, vazhinji vevatongiwo vakatenda kwaari; asi nekuda kweVaFarisi vakange vasingabvumi, kuti varege kubudiswa musinagoge;
Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
43 nokuti vakada rukudzo rwevanhu kupfuura rukudzo rwaMwari.
for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44 Zvino Jesu wakadanidzira akati: Anotenda kwandiri, haatendi kwandiri, asi kune wakandituma.
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 Neanoona ini, anoona wakandituma.
He who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ini ndakauya ndiri chiedza panyika, kuti ani nani anotenda kwandiri arege kugara murima.
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Uye kana ani nani achinzwa mashoko angu akasatenda, handimutongi ini; nokuti handina kuuya kuti nditonge nyika, asi kuti ndiponese nyika.
If anyone listens to my sayings and does not believe, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Uyo anondiramba asingagamuchiri mashoko angu, ane anomutonga; shoko randakareva, ndiro richamutonga nezuva rekupedzisira.
He who rejects me, and does not receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
49 Nokuti ini handina kureva zvemusoro wangu, asi Baba vakandituma, ndivo vakandipa murairo, zvandichareva nezvandichataura.
For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
