Yohana 12
1 Siku sita kabla ya Pasaka, Yesu alienda Bethania, alipokuwapo Lazaro, yeye ambaye alimfufua kutoka katika wafu.
But Jeshu six days before the petscha came to Bethania, where Loozar was, he whom Jeshu had raised from among the dead.
2 Basi wakamwandalia chakula cha jioni huko, na Martha akamtumikia, wakati huo Lazaro alikuwa mmoja wapo wa wale walioketi chakulani pamoja na Yesu.
And they made him there a supper and Martha served, and Loozar was one of those who reclined with him.
3 Kisha Mariamu akachukua ratli ya manukato yaliyotengenezwa kwa nardo safi, yenye thamani kubwa, akampaka Yesu miguuni, na kumfuta miguu kwa nywele zake; nyumba yote ilijaa harufu ya manukato.
But Mariam took a vase of balsam of the finest nard, great in price, and anointed the feet of Jeshu, and wiped with her hair his feet, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the balsam.
4 Yuda Iskariote, mmoja wa wale wanafunzi wake, ambaye ndiye atakayemsaliti Yesu, akasema,
And Jihuda Scarjuta, one of his disciples, he who would betray him said,
5 “Kwanini manukato haya yasingeuzwa kwa dinari mia tatu na wakapewa maskini?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred dinoreen, and given to the poor?
6 Naye aliyasema hayo, si kwa kuwahurumia maskini, bali kwa sababu alikuwa mwizi: yeye ndiye aliyeshika mfuko wa fedha na alikuwa anachukua baadhi ya vilivyowekwa humo kwa ajili yake mwenyewe.
But this he said, not because for the poor he had care, but because he was a thief, and the purse was with him, and whatever fell into it he carried.
7 Yesu alisema, “Mwache aweke alicho nacho kwa ajili ya siku ya maziko yangu.
But Jeshu said, Let her alone. For the day of my burial had she kept it.
8 Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote; lakini hamtakuwa nami siku zote.”
In all time the poor you have with you; but me you have not at all time.
9 Basi umati mkubwa wa Wayahudi walipata kujua ya kuwa Yesu yuko huko, nao wakaja, si kwa ajili ya Yesu tu, ila wamwone na Lazaro ambaye Yesu alimfufua kutoka katika wafu.
And a great company of Jihudoyee who were there heard Jeshu. And they had come not on Jeshu's account only, but also to see Loozar, he whom he had raised from among the dead.
10 Nao wakuu wa makuhani wakafanya shauri ili wamue Lazaro;
But the chief priests were minded to slay Loozar also,
11 maana kwa ajili yake wengi katika Wayahudi walienda zao na wakamwamini Yesu.
because many of the Jihudoyee on account of him had gone and believed in Jeshu.
12 Na siku ya pili yake umati mkubwa walikuja kwenye sikukuu. Waliposikia ya kuwa Yesu anakuja Yerusalemu,
THE day after, a great gathering of those who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jeshu was coming to Urishlem,
13 walichukua matawi ya miti ya mitende na kutoka nje kwenda kumlaki na wakapiga kelele, “Hosana! Amebarikiwa yeye ajaye kwa jina la Bwana, Mfalme wa Israeli.”
took branches of palms, and went forth to meet him. And they cried out, saying, Aushana! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
14 Yesu alimpata mwana-punda akampanda; kama vile ilivyoandikwa,
And Jeshu caused to be found an ass, and sat upon him; as it is written,
15 “Usiogope, binti Sayuni; tazama, Mfalme wako anakuja, amepanda mwana-punda.”
Fear not, daughter of Tseun: behold, thy King cometh to thee, and riding on a colt, the foal of an ass.
16 Wanafunzi wake hawakuyaelewa mambo haya hapo kwanza; lakini Yesu alipotukuzwa, ndipo walipokumbuka ya kuwa mambo haya aliandikiwa yeye na ya kwamba wametenda mambo haya kwake.
But these the disciples knew not at that time; but when Jeshu was glorified, the disciples remembered that these were written concerning him, and (that) these (things) they had done unto him.
17 Basi lile kundi la watu waliokuwepo pamoja na Yesu wakati alipomwita Lazaro kutoka kaburini, wakashuhudia kwa wengine.
But the assembly that was with him when he called Loozar from the sepulchre, and raised him from among the dead, bare witness.
18 Na ilikuwa kwa sababu hii pia kwamba kundi la watu walikwenda kumlaki kwasababu walisikia ya kwamba ameifanya ishara hiyo.
And on account of this, great multitudes went forth to receive him; for they had heard that this sign he had done.
19 Mafarisayo wakasemezana wao kwa wao, “Tazama, sasa hamwezi kufanya lolote; tazama, ulimwengu umekwenda kwake.”
But the Pharishee said one to another, See you that you do not profit any thing! For, behold, the whole world is gone after him.
20 Sasa baadhi ya Wayunani walikuwa miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa wakienda kuabudu kwenye sikukuu.
Now there were also from the Gentiles men who had ascended to worship at the feast.
21 Hawa walimwendea Filipo, ambaye alitoka Bethsaida ya Galilaya, wakamwomba wakisema, “Bwana, sisi tunatamani kumwona Yesu.”
These came and drew near to Philipos, who was of Beth-tsaida of Galila; and they requested of him, and said to him, Mari, we desire to see Jeshu.
22 Filipo akaenda akamwambia Andrea; Andrea na Filipo wakaenda na kumwambia Yesu.
And Philipos came and told Andreas, and Andreas and Philipos told Jeshu.
23 Yesu akawajibu akasema, “Saa imefika kwa ajili ya Mwana wa Adamu kutukuzwa.
BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, The hour hath come that the Son of man may be glorified.
24 Amini, amini, nawaambia, chembe ya ngano isipoanguka katika nchi ikafa, hukaa hali iyo hiyo peke yake; bali ikifa, itazaa matunda mengi.
Amen, amen, I say to you, That a grain of wheat if it fall not and die in the earth remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth much fruits.
25 Yeye apendaye uhai wake ataupoteza; bali yeye auchukiaye uhai wake katika ulimemngu huu atausalimisha hata uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world shall keep it to the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mtu yeyote akinitumikia mimi, na anifuate; nami nilipo, ndipo na mtumishi wangu atakapokuwapo. Mtu yeyote akinitumikia, Baba atamheshimu.
If any man serve me, let him come after me; and where I am, there shall be also my servant: whoever serveth me, him will my Father honour.
27 Sasa roho yangu imefadhaika: nami nisemeje? 'Baba, uniokoe katika saa hii'? Lakini ni kwa kusudi hii nimeifikia saa hii.
Now my soul, behold it is commoved; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour:
28 Baba, ulitukuze jina lako.” Kisha sauti ikaja kutoka mbinguni na kusema, “Nimelitukuza nami nitalitukuza tena.”
but on account of this have I come unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. And the voice was heard from heaven, I have glorified, and again I glorify.
29 Basi mkutano uliosimama karibu naye wakasikia, wakasema ya kwamba kumekuwa ngurumo. Wengine walisema, “Malaika amesema naye.”
And the company who stood, heard, and they said there was thunder. But others said, An angel spake with him.
30 Yesu akajibu na kusema, “Sauti hii haikuja kwa ajili yangu, bali kwa ajili yenu.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Not on my account was this voice, but on your account.
31 Sasa hukumu ya ulimwengu huu ipo: Sasa mkuu wa ulimwngu huu atatupwa nje.
Now is the judgment of this world; now is the ruler of this world cast out.
32 Nami nikiinuliwa juu ya nchi, nitawavuta wote kwangu.”
And I, when I have been lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 Aliyanena hayo akionesha ni mauti gani atakayokufa.
But this he said to show by what death he should die.
34 Mkutano wakamjibu, “Sisi tumesikia katika sheria ya kwamba Kristo atadumu hata milele. Nawe wasemaje, 'Mwana Adamu lazima ainuliwe juu'? Huyu Mwana wa Mtu ni nani?” (aiōn g165)
The people said to him, We have heard from the law that the Meshicha for ever abideth: how sayest thou that the Son of man is to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Basi Yesu akawaambia, “Nuru ingalipo pamoja nanyi muda kidogo. Enendeni maadamu mnayo nuru, ili kwamba giza lisije likawaweza. Yeye aendaye gizani hajui aendako.
Jeshu saith to them, A little further time is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And whoever walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Mngali mnayo nuru, iaminini nuru hiyo ili mpate kuwa wana wa nuru.” Yesu aliyasema haya na kisha akaenda zake akajificha wasimwone.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that the sons of light you may become. These spake Jeshu, and went (and) concealed himself from them.
37 Ingawa Yesu alifanya ishara nyingi namna hiyo mbele yao, bado hawakumwamini
Yet though all these signs he had done before them, they believed not in him:
38 ili litimie neno la nabii Isaya, alilosema: “Bwana, ni nani aliyezisadiki habari zetu? Na mkono wa Bwana amefunuliwa nani?”
that the word of the prophet Eshaia might be fulfilled, who said, My Lord, who hath believed our report, And the arm of the Lord, to whom hath it been revealed?
39 Ndio sababu wao hawakuamini, maana Isaya alisema tena,
Because of this they were not able to believe: Wherefore again Eshaia had said,
40 “Amewapofusha macho, na ameifanya migumu mioyo yao; wasije wakaona kwa macho yao na wakafahamu kwa mioyo yao, na wakaongoka nami nikawaponya.”
He hath blinded their eyes, And darkened their heart, That they should not see with their eyes, And understand with their heart, And be turned, and I should heal them.
41 Isaya alisema maneno hayo kwa kuwa aliuona utukufu wa Yesu na akanena habari zake.
These said Eshaia when he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Walakini, hata wakuu wengi walimwamini Yesu; lakini kwa sababu ya Mafarisayo, hawakukiri ili wasije wakatengwa na sinagogi.
Yet of the chiefs also many believed in him: but because of the Pharishee they did not confess, that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
43 Walipenda sifa za wanadamu kuliko sifa zitokazo kwa Mungu.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Aloha.
44 Yesu akapaza sauti na kusema, “Yeye aniaminiye mimi, haniamini mimi tu bali na yeye aliyenituma mimi,
But Jeshu cried and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 naye anionaye mimi anamuona yeye aliyenituma.
And he who seeth me seeth him who sent me.
46 Mimi nimekuja kama nuru ulimwenguni ili kila mtu aniaminiye mimi asikae gizani.
I the light am come into the world, that every one who believeth in me might not abide in darkness.
47 Ikiwa mtu yeyote atayasikia maneno yangu lakini asiyashike, mimi simhukumu; maana sikuja ili niuhukumu ulimwengu, bali niuokoe ulimwengu.
And he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Yeye anikataye mimi na asiyeyakubali maneno yangu, anaye amhukumuye: neno hilo nililolinena ndilo litakalomhukumu siku ya mwisho.
He who rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word, hath that which judgeth him: the word which I speak, that judgeth him in the last day.
49 Maana mimi sikunena kwa nafsi yangu tu. Bali ni Baba aliyenipeleka, yeye mwenyewe ameniagiza nitakayonena na nitakayosema.
For I of myself have not spoken, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
