< Yohani 11 >

1 Kwe alyale umuunhu jumonga akatambulwagha Lasali. Umwene palikimo na valumbu, uMaliya nu Malita vakikalagha mukikaaja ikya Betania. Umuunu uju alyale ntamu.
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 UMaliya ujuo ghwe juno alyampakile u UMaliya ujuo, ulumbu ghwa Lasali juno alyale ntamu, ghwe juno alyampakile amafuta uMutwa uYesu mumaghulu, na kukumpulusia ni linyele lyake.
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Avalumbu avuo vakasuung'ha imhola kwa Yesu kuuti, Mutwa umanyani ghwako uLasali ntamu.”
Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
4 UYesu ye apuliike imola ijio akati, “Inhamu ijio najikum'buda, looli jimwaghile kuuti avaanhu vavuvone uvuvaha vwa Nguluve, neke uMwana ghwa Nguluve aghinisivu kukilila inhamu ijio.”
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 UYesu alyamughanile uLasali palikimo na valumbu uMalita nu Maliya.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Neke ye apuliike kiuuti uLasali ntamu, umwene akajigho ifighono fivi ikalile kukuo.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he stayed two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Pambele akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Tuvuuke tugomoke kukighavo ikya Yudea.”
Then after that says he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 Avavulanisivu vakambuula vakati, “Ghwe mbulanisi, imihe pahapa aVayahudi valondagha pikukutova na mavue, uve ghulonda kange pigomoka ukuo?”
His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
9 UYesu akavamula akati, “Asi, imwisi najili ni fivalilo kijigho na fivili? Umuunhu angaghende pamwisi, naangakuvale ulwakuva ulumuli lukumulikila, ikufyagha fyoni.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Neke angaghende pakilo ikuvala, ulwakuva nsila lumulinkate mwa mwene.”
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
11 UYesu ye amalile kujova isio, akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Ummanyaani ghwitu uLasali aghonelile, neke niluta kuuti ninsisimule.
These things said he: and after that he says to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Pe avavulanisivua vaake vakambuula vakati, “Ghwe Mutwa, nave aghonelile, isisimuka.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 UYesu alyale ijova imhola ija kufua kwa Lasali, neke avavulanisivua vaake valyale visaagha kuuti ijova imhola ija kughonelela itulo.
However, Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Pe uYesu akavavuula pa vuvalafu akati, “ULasali afwile.”
Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 Neke une nihovoka vwimila umue ulwakuva nakweniveele kula uLasali ye ifua, kuuti umue munyitikaghe. Lino tuvuuke kwa Lasali.
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go to him.
16 Pe uTomasi juno itambulua, “Mung'hungu” akavavuula avavulanisivua avajaake akati, “Najusue tuvuuke, tulute tufue palikimo nu Yesu.
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Unsiki uYesu ye ifika mu kikaaja ikya Betania, akavona uLasali ali ni fighono fine mu mbiipa.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Ikikaaja ikya Betania kilyale piipi ni likaaja ilya Yelusalemu ikilomita itatu ndiiki.
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 Avaanhu vinga mu Vayahudi vakiisa kukuvahungila uMalita nu Maliya, ulwakuva valyafwile nu lumbu.
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Pepano uMalita akapulika kuuti uYesu afiike, akaluta kukumwupilila neke uMaliya akajigha mu nyumba.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Pe uMalita akam'buula uYesu akati, “Mutwa, pe usava, ulumbulyango ngale naafwile.
Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
22 Neke nambe lino nikagwile kuuti ungansuume uNguluve kimonga, ikukupeela.”
But I know, that even now, whatever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
23 UYesu akam'buula akati, “Ulumbulio isyuka.”
Jesus says to her, Your brother shall rise again.
24 UMalita akati, “Nikagwile kuuti ilisyuka ikighono ikya vusililo kino avaanhu vooni vilisyuka.”
Martha says to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 UYesu akambuula akati, “Une nene nikuvasyusia avaanhu na kukuvapeela uvwumi. Juno ikunyitika une, nambe afue iiva mwumi;
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 ghwope umwumi, juno ikunyitika une, naangafue. Ghukwitika isio?” (aiōn g165)
And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this? (aiōn g165)
27 UMalita akamwamula akati, “Eene Mutwa, nikwitika kuuti uve veeve Kilisite, Mwana ghwa Nguluve, juno veeve Twahulagha kuuti ghulikwisa mu iisi.”
She says to him, Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 UMalita ye ajovile isio, akaluta kukunkemeela unnuuna maliamu uMaliya akam'buula kuvuseyfu akati, “Um'bulanisi isile, ikukukemeela.” Pe uMaliya.
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calls for you.
29 Umaliamu ye apulike isio, akavuuka ng'haaing'haani na kuluta kwa Yesu.
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him.
30 Unsiki ughuo uYesu alyakyale kukwingila mu kikaaja ikio, alyale pala pala pano uMalita akalutile kukumwambilila.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 Pepano aVayahudi vano valyale munyumba nu Maliamu palikimo na vaanhu vano vakalutile kukuvahungilila, ye vamwaghile ivuuka ng'haning'haani ihuma kunji, vakam'bingilila ulwakuva vakava visaagha kuuti iluta kulila kumbiipa.
The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the grave to weep there.
32 Pepano uMaliamu akafika pa Yesu, akafughama, akambuula akati, “Mutwa, peusava ulumbu lyango ngale naafwile.”
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
33 UYesu ye avwene ililia, vope vano vakaale vikum'bingilila vilila, akalemala na kupumuka mu mwojo ghwake;
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
34 akajova akati, “Mumughonisie kughi?” Vakamwamula vakati, “Ghwe Mutwa, ghwise ulole.”
And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.
35 UYesu akalila.
Jesus wept.
36 Pepano avaYahudi vakajova vakati, “Lolagha vule akamughanile uLasalI!”
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 Neke vamonga vakati, “Asi, uju naghwe juno akansosisie um'bofu amaaso, lino kiki naavombile kimonga kwa Lasali kuuti aleke pifua?”
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Pepano uYesu ye ajiighe ipumuka mu mwojo ghwake, akafika pa mbiipa. Imbiipa ijio, jilyabughulilue na kudindua ni livue ilikome.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it.
39 UYesu akavavuula akati, “Vusia ilivue ilio. “UMalita ulumbu ghwa Lasali umfue, akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, umbili ghuuva ghuvolile, ulwakuva fikilile ifighono fine kuhuma ifua.
Jesus says, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
40 UYesu akambuula akati, “Naniveele nikuvulile kuuti ungitike, ghukuvuvona uvuvaha vwa Nguluve?”
Jesus says to her, Said I not to you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
41 Pe vakavusia ilivue lila. UYesu akalola kukyanya akati, “Ghwe Nhata, nikukuhongesia ulwakuva ghupulika inyifunyo sango.
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
42 Nikagwile kuuti ghukumulika ifighono fyoni, neke nijova isi vwimila ilipugha lya vaanhu ava, neke viyike kuuti uve veeve usung'hile.”
And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
43 UYesu ye ajovile isio, akalila fiijo akati, “Lasali huma kunji kuno!”
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 Pe umfue, akuhuma kunji, amaghulu na mavoko ghaake ghaniengelilue ni sanda, kumaaso apinyilue ni kitambala. UYesu akavavuula akati, “Mumhudule, mumuleke alutaghe.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Pepano aVayahudi vinga vano vakisile kukumhungila uMaliamu, ye vasivwene sino avombile uYesu, vakamwitika;
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 neke vamo mu veene vakaluta ku Vafalisayi kukuvavuula sino avombile uYesu.
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Pe avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi vakakong'haana, vakaposania vakati, “Tuvombe kiki? Ulwakuva umuunhu uju ivomba ifidegho finga.
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
48 Nave tukumuleka anala mwene, avaanhu vooni kyande vikumwitika, aValooma vikwisa vitoola fyoni poope palyusue na ji iisi jiitu.
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49 Pe umo muveene, juno akatambulwagha Kayafa, alyale ghwe ntekesi um'baha umwaka ughuo, akavavuula akati, “Umue namukagwile kimonga!
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, You know nothing at all,
50 Namusaagha kuuti vwimila umue, lunoghiile umuunhu jumo afue vwimila avaanhu vooni, neke iisi jooni jileke kutipulua.
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 Amasio gha ntekesi ujuo naghaale masaaghe ghaake. Ulweene ulwakuva alyale ntekesi m'baha umwaka ughuo, alyaviile kuuti uYesu ifua vwima iisi;
And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 nakwekuti ifua vwimila iisi jeene, looli u Yesu palikimo na kukuvakong'hania avaana va Nguluve vano vapalasiine neke vaave palikimo.
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Kuhuma ikighono ikio, avalongosi va Vayahudi, vakatengula kulonda isila ija kum'buda uYesu.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
54 Mu uluo, uYesu akaleka kughenda pa vuvalafu ku Vayahudi. Pepano akavuuka pala akaluta ku kikaaja kimonga kino kikatambuluagha. Efulahimu. Ikikaaja ikio kilyale piipi ni lihaka, akikala ukuo palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 Ikyimike ikya Pasaka ija Vayahudi kilyale piipi. Avaanhu vinga kuhuma mu fikaaja vakaluta ku Yelusalemu kuuti vivalasie ye kikyale pifika ikyimike ikio.
And the Jews’ passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Pe vakava vikumulonda uYesu. Ye vali mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, vakiima viposania viiti, “Mwiti ndaani, umuunhu uju, neke naikwesa ku kyimike?”
Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Unsiki ughu, avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi valyavavuulile avaanhu kuuti, umuunhu ghweni angakagule pano pwale u Yesu, alutaghe kukuvavuula neke vankole.
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
