Yohane 11
1 muntu walikukwiweti Lazaro, walakolwa, walikwikala mumunshi waBetaniya, kucomwabo Maliya ne Malita.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Uyu Maliya endiye usa walananika mafuta anunkila kumyendo yaMwami nekumupukutisha mishishi yakendi. Lazaro walikuba mukwabo Maliya Lazalo ewalikukolwa.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Lino bamakwabo batukashi balatuma mulumbe kuli Yesu kumwambileti, “Mwami, munenu ngomusuni nimulwashi.”
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Yesu mpalanyumfwa walambeti, “Kukolwa uko nteshi kumushine Lazalo sobwe, nsombi cilenshiki kwambeti Lesa alemekwe, kayi kwambeti Mwanendi Lesa apewe bulemu.”
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 Yesu walikusuna Malita nekanike wakendi, kayi neLazalo.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Nomba mpalanyumfwa shamalwashi, Yesu walekala masuba abili pamusena popelapo mpwalikuba.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Panyuma pakendi walambila beshikwiya bakendi, “katuyani kuYudeya.”
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Mwiyi, lino apa bamakulene baBayuda nkabayanda kumupwaya mabwe, Inga nicani mulayandanga kubwelelako?”
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Yesu walambeti, “Sena busuba ntebukute mifunshya yacindi likumi ne ibili? Muntu nalendenga mu mumuni nkela kulisuntula pakwinga ukute kubona mumuni wacishici.
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 Nsombi nalendenga mashiku empwela kulisuntula, pakwinga nkalendenga mu mumuni.”
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Mpwalambeco walabambileti, “Lazalo, munetu lono tulo, nsombi ndenga akumupundusha kutulo.”
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 Beshikwiya bakendi balambeti, “Mwami, nawona tulo, nabe cena.”
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Balo balikuyeyeti walikwamba shatulowa, nsombi Yesu walikwambeti Lazalo wafwa.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Lino Yesu walabambila mwakutasoleketi, “Lazalo lafu,
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Nkandabangonga, nsombi ndakondwa cebo canjamwe kwambeti mushome. Katuyani.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Popelapo Tomasi, walikukwiweti mpundu, walambila beshikwiya banendi, “Katuyani nendi tuyetufwile pamo.”
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Yesu mpwalashika kuBetaniya walacaneti Lazalo wabikwa kendi mumanda masuba ana alapiti.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Munshi waBetaniya walikuba pepi neku Yelusalemu, musuma wakwanowa makilomita atatu.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Ecebo cakendi kwalikuba bantu bangi balesa kuli Malita ne Maliya kwisakubatontosha pacebo ca lufu lwa Lazalo mukwabo.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Malita mpwalanyumfeti Yesu lesanga, walayakumucinsha. Nomba Maliya walashala munga'nda.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Lino Malita walambila Yesu, “Mwami, nemwanga kuno mukwetu Lazalo naliya kufwa.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Nsombi nambi lino ndicinsheti Lesa namupeni ciliconse ncomwela kumumusenga.”
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Yesu walamwambileti, “Mukwenu napunduke.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Malita walambeti, “Ndicinsheti nakapunduke pa busuba bwakupwililisha bantu bonse bakapundukanga.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Yesu walamwambileti, “weshikupundusha bantu kubafu nekupa buyumi njame. Muntu washoma ame, nambi ufwa nakabe ne buyumi.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die in this age (aiōn g165). Do you believe this?"
27 Nendi walambeti, “Cakubinga Mwami, ndashomeshesha njamwe Mupulushi Walaiwa, Mwana wa Lesa, walikuyandika kwisa pacishi capanshi.”
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 Malita mpwalambeco, walamukuwa Maliya kanike wakendi kumbali nekumwambileti, “Lashiki Shikwiyisha, lakukunga.”
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Maliya mpwalanyumfwa bwite, walanyamuka bwangu bwangu, nekwisa kuli Yesu.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Pacindici Yesu walinkatana ashika mumunshi, nsombi walikacili pamusena mpobalakumana ne Malita.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Nomba bantu balikuba munga'nda kabatontosha Maliya, mpobalaboneti lanyamuku bwangu bwangu kufuma mung'anda, balamukonka. Balikuyeyeti lenga akulilila kumanda.
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 Maliya mpwalashika palikuba Yesu, nekumubona, walaliwisha panshi kumyendo kwakendi nekwambeti, “Mwami, nemwanga kuno, mukwetu naliya kufwa.”
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 Yesu mpwalabona Maliya kalila kayi nebantu balikubapo nkabalila, walekatwa kumoyo kayi calamubaba.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 Lino walabepusheti, “Mwalamubika kupeyo?” Balambeti, “Mwami, katuyani mukubone.”
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesu walalila.
Jesus wept.
36 Popelapo bantu basa balambeti, “bonani, ncanga wamusuna.”
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Nomba nabambi pakati pabo balambeti, “Muntuyu walashilika muntu washipilwa usa, Inga walalilwaconi kushinkilila Lazalo kwambeti nkatafwa?”
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 Yesu walikacililila mucali, mpwalikuya kumanda. Lino manda alikuba amuliceni, pacishinga pa manda palikuba cilibwe.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Lino walambeti, “Cifunyeni cilibweco.” Malita, mukwabo Lazalo walafwa, walamwambileti, “Mwami latatiki kendi kununka, pakwinga palapiti masuba ana.”
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 Yesu walamwipusheti, “Sena ndiya kukwambileti washoma nubone bulemu bwaLesa?”
Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Lino bantu mpobalafunya cilibwe cisa. Yesu walalanga kwilu nekwambeti, “Ta, ndamulumbunga kwambeti mukute kunkumbula ndasenganga.
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 Ndicinshi kwambeti mukute kunyumfwa cindi conse. Lino ndambangeci pacebo calikoto lyabantu balipano kwambeti, bashometi njamwe mwalantuma.”
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 Mpwalambeco walakuwa mwakolobesheti, “Lazaro, pula!”
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Popelapo muntu usa walikuba wafwa walapula kenda kaliwapombailwa bikwisa byamalila kumakasa mpaka kumyendo, cikwisa cimbi calikuba cafwekelela kumenso. Yesu walabambileti, “Mupombololeni, kayi mumuleke ende.”
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 Bangi bantu balamushindikila Maliya, balabona bintu mbyalensa Yesu balamushoma.
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Nsombi Bayuda nabambi balaya kuli bamakulene baBafalisi, kuyakubambila byonse Yesu mbyalensa.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Lino bamakulene beshimilumbo neBaFalisi balakuwa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, nekwipushaneti, “Nitwinseconi lino, pakwinga muntuyu lenshinga byeshikukankamanisha bingi?
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Twamulekelela bantu bonse nibamushome, nomba Baloma nibakese bakatonongele Ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi ne mushobo wetu.”
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 Nsombi umo pakati pabo, lina lyakendi Kayafa, mukulene wa beshimilumbo bonse mucaka ico, walabambileti, “Mwatabila aconi amwe!
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 Sena amwe nkamulabonongeti caina kwambeti muntu umo afwile bantu bonse, kupita kwambeti mushobo wonse wonongeke?”
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 Cakubinga kwamba kulico nkakwalikuba kwamumano akendi sobwe. Pakwinga walikuba Shimilumbo Mukulene, walikushinshima kwambeti Yesu nakafwile mushobo wa bantu.
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 Cakubinga nteko kwambeti kubafwila bonkowa nsombi, kubunganya pamo bana baLesa balamwaika.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Kufumina busa busuba bamakulene ba Bayuda balatatika kupangana sha kushina Yesu.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Weco Yesu nkalikwenda pantangalala pakati pabantu. Nomba walafumako nekuya kucishi calikuba pepi necinyika, kumunshi walikukwiweti Efulemu, nkwalekala kopeloko pamo nebeshikwiya bakendi.
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 Kusekelela kwa Pasika kwalaseng'ena pepi. Neco bantu bangi beshikufuma kuminshi balaya ku Yelusalemu kucika cakuliswepesha, Pasika nkayitana iyamba.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Balikumulangaula Yesu, lino mpobalabungana mu Nga'nda ya Lesa balepushaneti “Sena amwe mulayeyengaconi? Sena lesanga ku Pasika kuno?”
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 Nomba bamakulene beshimilumbo neBafalisi balambeti uliyense lenshibi kuli Yesu, atwinshibishe kwambeti bamwikate.
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.
