< Janez 11 >

1 Torej nek mož je bil bolan, po imenu Lazar, iz Betanije, mesta Marije in njene sestre Marte.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 (Marija je bila tista, ki je Gospoda mazilila z mazilom in je s svojimi lasmi obrisala njegova stopala, katere brat Lazar je bil bolan.)
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Zato sta njegovi sestri poslali k njemu, rekoč: »Gospod, glej, tisti, ki ga imaš rad, je bolan.«
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Ko je Jezus to slišal, je rekel: »Ta bolezen ni za smrt, temveč za Božjo slavo, da bo Božji Sin s tem lahko proslavljen.«
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 Torej Jezus je ljubil Marto in njeno sestro ter Lazarja.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Ko je torej slišal, da je bil bolan, je še dva dni ostal na istem kraju, kjer je bil.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Šele nató reče svojim učencem: »Ponovno pojdimo v Judejo.«
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Njegovi učenci mu rečejo: »Učitelj, Judje so si nedavno prizadevali, da te kamnajo, ti pa greš ponovno tja?«
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jezus je odgovoril: »Ali ni v dnevu dvanajst ur? Če katerikoli človek hodi podnevi, se ne spotika, ker vidi svetlobo tega sveta.
Jesus answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Toda če človek hodi ponoči, se spotika, ker v njem ni svetlobe.«
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Te besede je rekel in nató jim reče: »Naš prijatelj Lazar spi, vendar grem, da ga lahko zbudim iz spanja.«
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 Tedaj so njegovi učenci rekli: »Gospod, če spi, bo okreval.«
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Vendar je Jezus govoril o njegovi smrti, toda mislili so, da je govoril o počitku v spanju.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Tedaj jim je Jezus odkrito povedal: »Lazar je mrtev.
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Zaradi vas pa sem vesel, da nisem bil tam, z namenom, da boste lahko verovali, vendar pojdimo k njemu.«
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Tedaj je Tomaž, ki se je imenoval Dvojček, rekel svojim součencem: »Naj gremo tudi mi, da bomo lahko umrli z njim.«
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Potem ko je Jezus prišel, je odkril, da je že štiri dni ležal v grobu.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Torej Betanija je bila blizu Jeruzalema, okoli petnajst dolžin brazd proč
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 in mnogi izmed Judov so prišli k Marti in Mariji, da ju tolažijo glede njunega brata.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Potem je Marta, takoj ko je slišala, da je prihajal Jezus, odšla in ga srečala, toda Marija je še vedno sedela v hiši.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Tedaj je Marta rekla Jezusu: »Gospod, če bi bil ti tukaj, moj brat ne bi umrl.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Toda jaz vem, da celó sedaj, karkoli hočeš prositi od Boga, ti bo Bog to dal.«
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jezus ji reče: »Tvoj brat bo ponovno vstal.«
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Marta mu reče: »Vem, da bo ponovno vstal na vstajenje ob poslednjem dnevu.«
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jezus ji je rekel: »Jaz sem vstajenje in življenje. Kdor vame veruje, četudi bi bil mrtev, bo vendarle živel.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 In kdorkoli živi in veruje vame, ne bo nikoli umrl. Veruješ to?« (aiōn g165)
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die in this age (aiōn g165). Do you believe this?"
27 Ona mu reče: »Da, Gospod. Verujem, da si ti Kristus, Božji Sin, ki naj bi prišel na svet.«
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 In ko je tako rekla, je šla svojo pot in na skrivnem poklicala svojo sestro Marijo, rekoč: »Učitelj je prišel in te kliče.«
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Brž ko je ona to zaslišala, je hitro vstala in prišla k njemu.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Torej Jezus še ni prišel v mesto, temveč je bil na kraju, kjer ga je srečala Marta.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Ko so Judje, ki so bili z njo v hiši in jo tolažili, videli Marijo, da je v naglici vstala in odšla ven, so ji potem sledili, rekoč: »H grobu gre, da bi tam jokala.«
Then the Jews 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, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Torej ko je Marija prišla tja, kjer je bil Jezus in ga zagledala, je padla dol k njegovim stopalom in mu rekla: »Gospod, če bi bil ti tukaj, moj brat ne bi umrl.«
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 Ko jo je Jezus torej videl jokajočo in jokajoče tudi Jude, ki so prišli z njo, je v duhu zastokal in bil vznemirjen
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 ter rekel: »Kam ste ga položili?« Rekli so mu: »Gospod, pridi in poglej.«
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jezus se je zjokal.
Jesus wept.
36 Tedaj so Judje rekli: »Glejte, kako ga je imel rad!«
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Nekateri izmed njih pa so rekli: »Mar ni mogel ta človek, ki je slepemu odprl oči, storiti, da ta mož sploh ne bi umrl?«
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 Jezus torej, v sebi ponovno stokajoč, pride h grobu. To je bila votlina in nanjo je bil položen kamen.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jezus je rekel: »Odstranite kamen proč.« Marta, sestra tega, ki je bil mrtev, mu reče: »Gospod, do sedaj že zaudarja, kajti mrtev je štiri dni.«
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Jezus ji reče: »Kaj ti nisem rekel, da če boš verovala, boš videla Božjo slavo?«
Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Tedaj so odstranili kamen z mesta, kamor je bil mrtvi položen. Jezus pa je povzdignil svoje oči in rekel: »Oče, hvala ti, da si me uslišal.
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 In vedel sem, da me ti vedno uslišiš, toda to sem rekel zaradi množice, ki stoji zraven, da bi lahko verovala, da si me ti poslal.«
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 In ko je tako govoril, je z močnim glasom zaklical: »Lazar, pridi naprej.«
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 In tisti, ki je bil mrtev, je prišel naprej, z rokami in nogami, povezanimi s pogrebnimi oblačili in njegov obraz je bil naokoli povezan s prtičem. Jezus jim reče: »Odvežite ga in ga pustite oditi.«
He who was dead 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 Potem so mnogi izmed Judov, ki so prišli k Mariji in videli stvari, ki jih je Jezus storil, verovali vanj.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Toda nekateri izmed njih so odšli po svojih poteh k farizejem in jim povedali, kakšne stvari je Jezus storil.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Tedaj so visoki duhovniki in farizeji zbrali véliki zbor ter rekli: »Kaj [naj] storimo? Kajti ta človek dela mnoge čudeže.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Če ga pustimo tako pri miru, bodo vsi ljudje verovali vanj in prišli bodo Rimljani in odvzeli tako naš prostor kakor narod.«
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 In eden izmed njih, po imenu Kajfa, ki je bil to isto leto véliki duhovnik, jim je rekel: »Vi čisto nič ne veste,
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 niti ne preudarite, da je za nas koristno, da naj bi en človek umrl za ljudi, ne pa da propade celoten narod.«
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 To pa ni govoril [sam] od sebe, temveč ker je bil tisto leto véliki duhovnik, je prerokoval, da naj bi Jezus umrl za ta narod,
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 in ne samo za ta narod, temveč da naj bi tudi Božje otroke, ki so bili razkropljeni naokoli, skupaj zbral v enem.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Torej so se od tega dne dalje skupaj posvetovali, da ga usmrtijo.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Jezus torej med Judi ni več hodil javno, temveč je od tam odšel v deželo poleg divjine, v mesto, imenovano Efrájim in tam ostal s svojimi učenci.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 In blizu je bila judovska pasha in mnogi iz dežele so pred pasho odšli gor v Jeruzalem, da se očistijo.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Medtem ko so stali v templju, so torej iskali Jezusa in med seboj govorili: »Kaj mislite, da ne bo prišel na praznik?«
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?”
57 Torej tako visoki duhovniki kakor farizeji so izdali zapoved, da če katerikoli človek ve, kje bi bil, naj to pokaže, da bi ga lahko prijeli.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
