Yooxanaa 12
1 Haddaba lix maalmood ka hor Iidda Kormaridda, Ciise wuxuu yimid Beytaniya, meeshuu joogay Laasaros, kii Ciise kuwa dhintay ka soo sara kiciyey.
Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
2 Sidaas daraaddeed halkaasaa casho loogu sameeyey, Maartana waa adeegaysay, oo Laasaros wuxuu ka mid ahaa kuwa cuntada ula fadhiistay.
There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
3 Maryan haddaba waxay qaadday rodol cadar ah oo naaradiin qaaliya ah, waxayna marisay cagaha Ciise, oo timaheedii ayay cagihiisa ku tirtirtay. Gurigiina waxaa ka buuxsamay udgoonkii cadarka.
Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
4 Laakiin Yuudas Iskariyod, oo ahaa mid xertiisii ka mid ah, oo gacangelin lahaa, wuxuu yidhi,
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
5 Maxaa cadarkan loogu iibin waayay saddex boqol oo dinaar, oo loo siin waayay masaakiinta?
He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
6 Sidaas uma uu odhan dan uu ka lahaa masaakiinta, laakiin wuxuu u yidhi wuxuu ahaa tuug, oo kiishadda lacagta ayuu hayn jiray, wuuna kala bixi jiray wixii lagu rido.
He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
7 Haddaba Ciise ayaa yidhi, Daaya. Waxay u haysay maalinta aasniintayda.
Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
8 Waayo, masaakiintu mar walba way idinla jiraan, aniguse idinlama joogo mar walba.
There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
9 Haddaba dad badan oo Yuhuud ah baa waxay ogaadeen inuu halkaas joogo, wayna u yimaadeen, ma aha Ciise aawadii oo keliya laakiin inay arkaan Laasarosna, kii uu kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kiciyey.
A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
10 Wadaaddadii sare waxay ku tashadeen inay Laasarosna dilaan.
So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
11 Waayo, aawadiis ayaa Yuhuud badani ku tagtay oo Ciise rumaysatay.
because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
12 Maalintii xigtay dad badan oo u yimid iiddii, markay maqleen inuu Ciise Yeruusaalem imanayo,
The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 waxay qaateen laamihii geedaha timirta ah, oo ay baxeen inay ka hor tagaan, iyagoo ku dhawaaqaya Hoosanna, waxaa barakaysan kan Rabbiga magiciisa ku imanaya oo boqorka Israa'iil ah.
So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
14 Ciise wuxuu helay dameer yar oo fuulay, siday ugu qoran tahay,
When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
15 Ha biqin, gabadhii Siyoonay; bal eeg, Boqorkaagu waa imanayaa isagoo fuushan qayl dameereed.
You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
16 Markii hore xertiisii waxyaalahaas ma ay garan, laakiin markii Ciise ammaanmay dabadeed ayay xusuusteen in waxyaalahaas xaggiisa laga qoray iyo in waxyaalahaas lagu sameeyey isaga.
At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
17 Haddaba waxaa marag furay dadkii badnaa ee la joogay markuu Laasaros xabaasha uga yeedhay oo uu kuwa dhintay ka soo sara kiciyey.
The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
18 Sidaa daraaddeed dadkii badnaa waa u kaceen inay ka hor tagaan, waayo, waxay maqleen inuu calaamadaas sameeyey.
Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
19 Haddaba Farrisiintii waxay dhexdoodii isku yidhaahdeen, Waad arkaysaan sidaydnaan waxba u taraynin. Eega, dunidii oo dhan baa raacdaye.
So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
20 Kuwa wakhtiga iidda u kacay inay Ilaah caabudaan, waxaa ku dhex jiray qaar Gariig ah.
Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
21 Kuwaas haddaba waxay u yimaadeen Filibos oo ahaa reer Beytsayda ee Galili, wayna weyddiisteen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidow, waxaannu doonaynaa inaannu Ciise aragno.
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
22 Markaasaa Filibos u yimid oo Andaros u sheegay, oo haddana Andaros iyo Filibos baa wada yimid, oo ay Ciise u sheegeen.
So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
23 Kolkaasaa Ciise u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Saacaddii way timid uu Wiilka Aadanahu ammaanmi lahaa.
Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
24 Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Xabbad sarreen ah haddaanay dhulka ku dhicin oo dhiman, keligeed bay iska jiraysaa, laakiin hadday dhimato, midho badan bay dhashaa.
Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
25 Kan naftiisa jecel, waa lumiyaa, kan dunidan naftiisa ku nebcaadaase, wuu hayn doonaa tan iyo nolosha weligeed ah. (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Qof uun hadduu ii adeego, ha i soo raaco, meeshaan joogona, midiidinkayguna wuu joogi doonaa. Qof uun hadduu ii adeego, Aabbuhu waa murwayn doonaa isaga.
If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
27 Haatan naftaydu waa murugootay, oo maxaan idhaahdaa? Aabbow, saacaddan iga badbaadi. Laakiin taas aawadeed ayaan saacaddan u soo gaadhay.
Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
28 Aabbow, magacaaga ammaan. Haddaba waxaa samada ka yimid cod leh, Waan ammaanay, waanan ammaani doonaa mar kale.
My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
29 Haddaba dadkii badnaa oo ag taagnaa, way maqleen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa onkod. Qaar kale waxay yidhaahdeen, Malaa'ig baa la hadashay isaga.
The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Ciise ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Codkaasu aawaday uma imanin, laakiin wuxuu u yimid aawadiin.
Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
31 Imminka weeye markii dunidan la xukumi lahaa, imminka kan madaxda dunida ah dibaddaa lagu tuuri doonaa.
Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
32 Aniguna haddii kor layga qaado dhulka, dhammaan xaggaygaan u soo jiidi doonaa.
But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
33 Wuxuu waxaas u yidhi inuu tuso siduu u dhiman doono.
He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
34 Haddaba dadkii badnaa waxay ugu jawaabeen, Waxaannu sharciga ka maqallay in Masiixu weligiis jiri doono. Sidee baad u leedahay, Wiilka Aadanaha waa in kor loo qaado? Waa ayo Wiilka Aadanahu? (aiōn g165)
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
35 Ciise haddaba ayaa ku yidhi, Weli in yar nuurka ayaa idinla jiraya. Socda intaad nuurka haysataan, si aan gudcurku idiin soo gaadhin. Kan gudcurka ku socdaana ma yaqaan meeshuu u socdo.
Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
36 Intaad nuurka haysataan, rumaysta nuurka, inaad noqotaan wiilasha nuurka. Waxyaalahaas Ciise ayaa ku hadlay, markaasuu ka tegey oo ka dhuuntay iyaga.
Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
37 Laakiin in kastuu calaamooyin badan ku sameeyey hortooda, weli ma ay rumaysan isaga;
Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
38 inuu noqdo hadalka nebi Isayos oo uu ku hadlay, Rabbiyow, yaa warkayagii rumaystay, Oo yaa gacantii Rabbiga loo muujiyey?
[Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
39 Sidaa aawadeed ayay rumaysan kari waayeen, waayo, Isayos ayaa haddana yidhi,
That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
40 Wuu indhatiray, qalbigoodana ayuu engejiyey, Si aanay indhahooda wax ugu arkin, oo aanay qalbigoodana wax ugu garan, Oo aanay u soo noqon, Oo aanan u bogsiin.
They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
41 Waxyaalahaas Isayos ayaa yidhi, maxaa yeelay, ammaantiisuu arkay, wuuna ka hadlay isaga.
Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
42 Hase ahaatee qaar badan oo taliyayaasha ka mid ahaa way rumaysteen, laakiin Farrisiintii aawadood ma ay qiran si aan sunagogga looga saarin,
Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
43 waayo, waxay ammaanta Ilaah ka jeclaayeen ammaanta dadka.
They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
44 Ciise ayaa ku dhawaaqay oo yidhi, Kii i rumaystaa, ima rumaysto, wuxuuse rumaystaa kan i soo diray.
[Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
45 Kii i arkaana, wuxuu arkaa kan i soo diray.
When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
46 Waxaan dunida u imid inaan nuur u ahaado, in mid kasta oo i rumaystaa uusan gudcurka ku sii jirin.
I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
47 Nin uun hadduu erayadayda maqlo oo uusan xajin, xukumi maayo, waayo, uma iman inaan dunida xukumo, waxaanse u imid inaan dunida badbaadiyo.
As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
48 Kii i diida oo aan erayadayda aqbalin, wuxuu haystaa mid xukuma; ereygaan ku hadlay baa xukumi doona isaga maalinta u dambaysa.
There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
49 Waayo, anigu amarkayga kuma hadlin, laakiinse Aabbihii i soo diray isagaa i amray waxaan idhaahdo iyo waxaan ku hadloba.
I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
50 Oo waanan garanayaa inuu amarkiisu yahay nolosha weligeed ah. Sidaa daraaddeed waxaan ku hadlayaa, sidii Aabbuhu igu yidhi, sidaasaan ku hadlayaa. (aiōnios g166)
I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
