Johani 12
1 Zvino mazuva matanhatu pasika isati yasvika Jesu wakasvika Bhetaniya, paiva naRazaro wakange afa, waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa.
Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
2 Naizvozvo vakamuitira chirairo ipapo, uye Marita waishandira; naRazaro wakange ari umwe wevakange vagere naye pakudya.
There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at 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.
Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Naizvozvo umwe wevadzidzi vake, Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni wakange achazomutengesa, akati:
One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
5 Mafuta awa aregerei kutengeswa nemadhenario mazana matatu, akapiwa varombo?
Why was this ointment not 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.
But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
7 Naizvozvo Jesu wakati: Muregei; wamachengetedzera zuva rekuvigwa kwangu.
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
8 Nokuti varombo munavo nguva dzese, asi ini hamuneni nguva dzese.
for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
9 Naizvozvo chaunga chikuru cheVaJudha chakaziva kuti aripo; ndokuuya kwete nekuda kwaJesu chete, asi kuti vaonewo Razaro, waakange amutsa kubva kuvakafa.
A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
10 Asi vapristi vakuru vakarangana kuti vauraye Razarowo;
But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
11 nokuti nekuda kwake vazhinji veVaJudha vaibva, vachitenda kuna Jesu.
because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
12 Chifume chaunga chikuru chakange chauya kumutambo, chakati chanzwa kuti Jesu anouya kuJerusarema,
On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
13 vakatora matavi emichindwe, vakabuda kunomuchingamidza, vakadanidzira vachiti: Hosana! Wakaropafadzwa anouya muzita raIshe, Mambo waIsraeri.
took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
14 Zvino Jesu awana dhongwana, akagara pamusoro paro, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
15 Usatya, mukunda weZiyoni; tarira, Mambo wako anouya, agere pamusoro pedhongwana rembongoro.
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass'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.
[Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of 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 crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
18 Saka chaunga chakamuchingamidzawo, nokuti vakange vanzwa kuti wakaita chiratidzo ichochi.
Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakataurirana, vachiti: Munoona kuti hamubatsiri chinhu; tarirai nyika inomutevera.
The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Zvino kwaiva nevamwe VaGiriki pakati pevakange vakwira kuti vanonamata kumutambo;
And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
21 ava ndokuuya kuna Firipi weBhetisaidha reGarirea, vakamukumbira vachiti: Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.
these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
22 Firipi akasvika akaudza Andiriya; uye Andiriya naFiripi vakaudzazve Jesu.
Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
23 Jesu ndokuvapindura achiti: Awa rasvika rekuti Mwanakomana wemunhu akudzwe.
But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunze kwekuti tsanga yegorosi yawira muvhu ikafa, iyo inogara iri yega; asi kana ikafa, inobereka chibereko chakawanda.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
25 Anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; neanovenga upenyu hwake panyika ino achahuchengetedza kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Kana munhu achindishandira, ngaanditevere; nepandiri ini, achavapowo muranda wangu. Uye kana munhu achindishandira, Baba vachamukudza.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
27 Ikozvino mweya wangu unotambudzika; zvino ndichatii? Baba, ndiponesei paawa rino. Asi nekuda kweizvi ndasvika paawa rino.
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
28 Baba, kudzai zita renyu. Naizvozvo inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga, richiti: Ndarikudzawo, uye ndicharikudzazve.
Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
29 Naizvozvo chaunga chakange chimire chichizvinzwa chakati: Kwatinhira. Vamwe vakati: Mutumwa wataura naye.
The crowd therefore, which stood [there] 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 and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
31 Ikozvino pane mutongo wenyika ino; ikozvino mutungamiriri wenyika ino achadzingirwa panze.
Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
32 Neni, kana ndasimudzwa panyika, ndichakwevera vese kwandiri.
and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
33 Wakarevawo izvi achiratidza kuti waizofa nerufu rwakadini.
But this he said signifying by what death he was about to 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 crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man? (aiōn g165)
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 is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
36 Muchine chiedza, tendai kuchiedza, kuti muve vana vechiedza. Jesu wakareva zvinhu izvi, akabva, akazvivanza kwavari.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away 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, they believed not on him,
38 kuti shoko raIsaya muporofita rizadziswe, raakareva achiti: Ishe, ndiani wakatenda mharidzo yedu? Neruoko rwaIshe rwakazarurirwa kuna ani?
that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Naizvozvo vakange vasingagoni kutenda, nokuti Isaya wakatizve:
On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
40 Wakapofumadza meso avo, akaomesa moyo wavo; kuti varege kuona nemeso kana kunzwisisa nemoyo, vagotendeuka, ndigovaporesa.
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Isaya wakareva zvinhu izvi, paakaona kubwinya kwake, ndokutaura pamusoro pake.
These things said Esaias because 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;
Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
43 nokuti vakada rukudzo rwevanhu kupfuura rukudzo rwaMwari.
for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
44 Zvino Jesu wakadanidzira akati: Anotenda kwandiri, haatendi kwandiri, asi kune wakandituma.
But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
45 Neanoona ini, anoona wakandituma.
and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
46 Ini ndakauya ndiri chiedza panyika, kuti ani nani anotenda kwandiri arege kugara murima.
I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
47 Uye kana ani nani achinzwa mashoko angu akasatenda, handimutongi ini; nokuti handina kuuya kuti nditonge nyika, asi kuti ndiponese nyika.
and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 Uyo anondiramba asingagamuchiri mashoko angu, ane anomutonga; shoko randakareva, ndiro richamutonga nezuva rekupedzisira.
He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
49 Nokuti ini handina kureva zvemusoro wangu, asi Baba vakandituma, ndivo vakandipa murairo, zvandichareva nezvandichataura.
For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
