Yohane 12
1 Mpokwalashala masuba asanu nebumo kwambeti Pasika ishike, Yesu walaya ku Betaniya, uko kwalikuba Lazalo usa ngwalapundusha kubafu.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died and whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2 Balamubambila cakulya cakulemeka Yesu, ico Malita ncalabanyamfwilisha kutebeta. Lazalo walikubapo mpobalikulya pamo ne Yesu.
They prepared a supper for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of the people reclining at the table with him.
3 Lino Maliya walamanta libotolo lyamafuta anunkila nado, adula cikamba nekutatika kunanika myendo ya Yesu, kapukutisha nemishishi yakendi. Lino bantu balikuba mung'anda balanyumfwa bwema bwamafutayo.
Then Mary took a pound of expensive ointment made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Nomba Yuda Isikalioti, umo wa beshikwiya baYesu, uyo panyuma pakendi walamuyaba kubalwani bakendi, walambeti,
Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to betray him, said,
5 “Nomba nicani mafuta awa uliya kwaulisha mali a muwayawaya akwana 300 kwambeti apewe kubantu bapenga?”
“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
6 Uku nkakwalikuba kwambeti usuni bapenga sobwe, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti walikuba kabwalala. Nendi ewalikusunga mali nekwibamo.
(He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was the keeper of the moneybag and would pilfer what was put into it.)
7 Yesu walambeti, “mulekeni abike mafuta awa kushikila busuba bwa kubikwa mumanda kwakame.
So Jesus said, “Leave her alone; she has kept this ointment for the day of my burial.
8 Pakwinga bantu bapenga nimubenga nabo cindi conse, nomba ame nteshi mubenganga pamo nenjame cindi conse.”
For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
9 Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfweti Yesu uli kuBetaniya, nabo balayako. Baliya kuya pacebo caYesu enka sobwe, nsombi balayakubona Lazaro ngwalapundusha kubafu.
Meanwhile a large crowd of the Jews found out that Jesus was there, so they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Weco bamakulene beshimilumbo balapangana shakwambeti Lazaro neye bamushine,
So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
11 Pakwinga pacebo ca Lazaro bantu bangi bali kubashiya nekushoma Yesu.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.
12 Busuba bwalakonkapo bantu bangi balesa akusekelela Pasika, balanyumfweti Yesu lesanga kuYelusalemu.
On the next day, when a large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Neco balamanta misampi yamalala nekuya akukumana nendi. Kabolobesheti, “Bulemu kuli Lesa! Walelekwa uyo lesanga mulina lya Mwami! Alelekwe Mwami wa Islaeli!”
they took palm branches and went out to meet him. They were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 Yesu walatanta mwana wa mbongolo ngobalamuletela, mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti,
Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, just as it is written,
15 Kotatina, obe munshi wa Siyoni. “Bona, Mwami wakobe lesanga, watanta mwana wa mbongolo.”
“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, yoʋr king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt.”
16 Pacindico beshikwiya bakendi baliya kunyumfwishisha. Nsombi Yesu mpwalapunduka nebulemu, empobalanuka kwambeti ibi byalembwa muMabala byalikwamba endiye, nekwambeti balamwinshila bintu ibi.
(His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things had been done to him.)
17 Bantu balikuba neYesu mpwalakuwa Lazaro mumanda nekumupundusha kubafu nabo balapitilisha kwamba pabintu mbyobalabona.
Now the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 Ecebo cakendi bantu ncebalayilakukumana nendi, pakwinga balanyumfwa ceshikukankamanisha ncalensa.
That is why a crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had done this sign.
19 Popelapo Bafalisi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Bonani afwe paliya ncetulenshinga, pakwinga bantu bonse balafwambilinga kulyendiye.”
So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are achieving nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Nomba kwalikuba Bagiliki nabambi pakati pabantu balaya kuYelusalemu akupaila pacindi cakusekelela.
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Ba Giliki balayakubona Filipo, waku Betisaida muGalileya. Balamusengeti, “nkambo tulayandanga kubona Yesu.”
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Filipo walambila Ndileya, bonse babili balaya akwambila Yesu.
Philip went and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Yesu walambeti, “Cilashiki cindi cakwambeti Mwana Muntu atambule bulemu bwakendi.
Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Kwamba cakubinga, imbuto ya witi yabula kubyalwa mubulongo nekufwa ikute kaili imo imo. Nomba yafukilwa, ikute kukula nekusema bisepo bingi.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Muntu usuni buyumi bwakendi, nakabutaye, nsombi uyo utabusuni buyumi bwakendi mucishi cino nakapewe buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Muntu layandanga kunsebensela, ankonkele, kwambeti musebenshi wakame akabe nenjame kulikonse nkotinkabenga. Muntu asebensela ame, Bata nibakamupe bulemu.”
If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”
27 “Lino ndapengenga mumoyo. Nomba ng'ambe cani? Sena ng'ambeti, ‘Bata kamumpulusha pacindici ku mapensho alesanga pantangu? Nomba sobwe, pakwinga encondaleshila.
“My soul is now troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour.
28 Bata kamulemekani Lina lyenu.” Popelapo kwalanyumfwika Maswi kwilu akwambeti, “ndalilemeke, kayi nimpitilishe kulilemeka.”
Father, glorify yoʋr name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29 Lino likoto linene lyabantu mpolyalanyumfwa maswi awo, balambeti, “Nimukunkumo wa mfula.” Nomba nabambi balambeti, “Nimungelo wambanga nendi.”
When the crowd standing there heard the voice, they said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Yesu walabambileti, “Maswi aliyakunyumfwika pacebo ca Njame sobwe, nsombi nakumunyamfwa.
Jesus responded, “This voice has come not for my sake, but for your sake.
31 Lino ecindi cakwambeti cishi capanshi comboloshewe. Lino Satana, mwami wa cishi capanshi, Lesa namuwale kunsa.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 Nomba ndakanyamunwa pelu, ninkabunganye bantu bonse kuli njame.”
And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”
33 Yesu walamba maswi awa kwambeti abaleshe mushobo walufu ndoshi akafwe nalo.
(He said this to indicate the kind of death he was going to die.)
34 Bantu basa balamwambileti, “Milawo yetu ikute kwambeti Mupulushi Walaiwa nakabengapongowa. Nomba amwe mulambilingeti Mwana Muntu welela kunyamunwa pelu Mwana Muntu wopeloyo niyani?” (aiōn g165)
The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, so how can yoʋ say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
35 Lino Yesu walambeti, “Mumuni ucili pakati penu kwacindi cing'ana. Kamwendani, mu mumuni nkauciliko, mushinshe nkautamukoma. Pakwinga uliyense lendenga mumushinshe nkakute kwinshiba nkwalenga.
Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Kamushomani mumuni kaucili nenjamwe kwambeti mube bantu bamunikilwa.” Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba makani awa walafumapo nekuya kumusena nkobatenshi.
While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light.” After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
37 Nambi Yesu walensa byeshikukankamanisha bingi, nsombi nabo baliya kumushoma.
Although he had done so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.
38 Ici calenshika mbuli ncalamba mushinshimi Yesaya, “Mwami, niyani lashomo kukambauka kwetu? Niyani labono ngofu sha Mwami?”
This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Neco nkamwalashoma pakwinga mbuli Yesaya kayi walambeti,
For this reason they could not believe, for again Isaiah said,
40 “Lesa walabapofola menso, nekuyumisha mitwi yabo, cakwambeti menso abo nkacikonsho kubona, nambi kwishiba nemyoyo yabo. Nambi kusandukila kuli njame kwambeti ndibasengule.”
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.”
41 Yesaya mpwalikwamba maswi awa, walikwamba sha Yesu, pacebo cakwambeti walabona bulemu bwakendi.
Isaiah said these things when he saw the Lord's glory and spoke about him.
42 Nomba nikukabeco batangunishi babo bangi balashoma Yesu. Nsombi pacebo ca kutina Bafalisi kwambeti ngababatandanya mu libungano, nkabalikwambila bantu patuba.
Nevertheless, many even among the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
43 Balikusuna kulumbwa kubantu kupita kulumbwa ne Lesa.
For they loved the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from God.
44 Neco Yesu walamba mwakolobesheti, “Muntu lanshomonga, nkalashomonga ame ndenka sobwe, nsombi lashomonga uyo walantuma.
Then Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.
45 Kayi muntu labononga ame, labononga uyo walantuma.
And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ame njame mumuni, kayi ndalesa panshi pano, kwambeti uliyense lanshomo akabule kwikala mumushinshe.
I have come into the world as light, so that no one who believes in me should remain in darkness.
47 Muntu anyumfwa maswi akame nomba ubula kwanyumfwa, nteshinkamomboloshe pakwinga ndiya kwisa kombolosha cishi, nsombi kwisa kupulusha.
If anyone hears my words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Muntu lankananga, kayi labulunga kutambula maswi akame, mpwali weshakamomboloshe. Maswi ngondamba eshakamupeshe mulandu pa busuba bwakupwililisha!
He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Ici nicakubinga pakwinga nkankute kwambowa bintu mukuyeya kwakame, nsombi Bata balantuma ebalang'ambila byakwamba, ne mwakwambila.
For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment as to what I should say and what I should speak.
