John 11
1 Vaba mutu wumosi wuba mbevo, dizina diandi Lazale. Niandi wuba muisi Betani, buala buba mvuandanga Maliya ayi khombꞌandi Malata.
BUT a certain man was sick, Loozar, of the village Bethania: (he was) the brother of Mariam and of Martha.
2 Maliya, niandi nketo wudukudila Pfumu Yesu malasi ma tsudi mu malu ayi wufiona mawu mu zitsuki ziandi. Lazale wuba kimbevo, wuba khomba yi bakala yi Maliya.
It was that Mariam who anointed with balsam the feet of Jeshu, and wiped (them) with her hair, whose brother this Loozar was who was sick.
3 Buna bakhomba bandi babaketo zituma mutu kuidi Yesu mu kunkamba: —Pfumu, tala mutu wowo weta zola wulembo bedi.
And his two sisters sent unto Jeshu, saying, Our Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 Vayi Yesu bu kawa bobo, wutuba: —Kimbevo kioki kilendi kumvonda ko, vayi kidi mu diambu di nkembo wu Nzambi muingi Muana Nzambi kakemboso mu kimbevo kioki.
But Jeshu said, This sickness is not of death, but for the glory of Aloha, that the Son of Aloha may be glorified on account of it.
5 Muaki Yesu wuzola buwombo Malata, khombꞌandi yi nketo ayi Lazale.
But Jeshu loved Martha and Mariam and Loozar.
6 Vayi bu kawa ti Lazale wulembo bedi, wubuela vuanda bilumbu biodi va buangu kioki kaba.
And when he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days.
7 Bosi wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Tuvutukanu ku Yuda.
And afterwards he saith to his disciples, Come, we will go again into Jihud.
8 Vayi minlonguki miandi minkamba: —A Labi, keti ndambu kuandi yi bilumbu biviokidi, Bayuda bazola kuzuba matadi vayi buabu tidi kuaku buela vutuka ku Yuda!
His disciples say to him, Raban, now have the Jihudoyee sought to stone thee; and again goest thou thither?
9 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Muisi ko kumi zithangu zizole mu muini e? Enati mutu dieti va muini kalendi bumina thutu ko bila wulembo moni kiezila ki nza.
Jeshu saith to them, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world;
10 Vayi enati mutu wulembo diati va builu, buna maka bumina thutu, kiezila kisi ko mu niandi.
but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because no light is in him.
11 Bu kamanisa tuba mambu momo, buna wubuela diaka: —Nkundi eto lazale wulembo leki tulu vayi ndiedi mu kuenda nkotula.
These spake Jeshu; and afterwards he said to them, Loozar our friend reposeth; but I go to awake him.
12 Minlonguki mimvutudila: —Pfumu, enati lekidi tulu buna wela beluka.
His disciples say to him, Our Lord, if he sleep he is healed.
13 Muaki Yesu wuyolukila lufua luandi vayi bawu babanzila ti Yesu wuyolukila tulu toto tunlekongo.
But Jeshu spake concerning his death; and they thought that concerning the repose of sleep he spake.
14 Buna Yesu wuba sudikisa ti: —Lazale fuidi.
Then said Jeshu to them explicatively, Loozar is dead.
15 Vayi khini ndimmona mu diambu dieno bu ndikambu ba vawu muingi luwilukila. Vayi tuendano buabu ku kadi.
And I am glad I was not there for your sakes, that you may believe. But let us walk thither.
16 Tona mutu wowo baba ntedilanga Didime, wukamba bakhomba bandi minlonguki: —Tuendano kuna mu diambu beto mamveto tufua yandi va kimosi.
Thoma, who is called the Twin, saith to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Yesu bu katula, wuyenda bata buna Lazale weka bilumbu biya ku tsi ntoto.
And Jeshu came to Bethania, and found that he had been four days in the house of burial.
18 Betani diba divula difikama ayi Yelusalemi, nduka-nduka bikilometele bitatu,
Now Bethania was nigh to Urishlem, being a distance from it of about fifteen stadia.
19 ayi Bayuda bawombo bayiza kuidi Malata ayi Maliya mu kuba bomba mu diambu di khombꞌawu wu bakala.
And many of the Jihudoyee had come to Martha and Mariam, that they might speak to their hearts concerning their brother.
20 Malata bu kawa ti Yesu lembu yizi, wuyenda kundengana vayi Maiya wuba wuvuanda ku nzo.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jeshu had come, went forth to meet him; but Mariam sat in the house.
21 Malata wukamba Yesu: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko.
And Martha said to Jeshu, My Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 Vayi buabu nzebi kuama ti dioso kuandi diambu di wela lomba kuidi Nzambi, Nzambi wela kuvana diawu.
But even now know I that whatsoever thou wilt ask of Aloha, he giveth to thee.
23 Yesu wunkamba: —Khombꞌaku wela fuluka.
Jeshu saith to her, Thy brother ariseth.
24 Malata wumvutudila: —Nzebi ti wela fuluka mu lumbu kitsuka, batu bu bela fuluka.
Martha saith to him, I know that he ariseth in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Vayi yesu wunkamba: —Minu ndidi mfulukulu ayi luzingu. Woso wukunguilukila, ka diambu ko wufua, wela zinga.
Jeshu saith to her, I am the Resurrection and the Life; and (he) who believeth in me, although he will die, shall live.
And every one who liveth and believeth in me, for ever shall not die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
27 Malata wumvutudila: —Nyinga Pfumu, minu nguilukidi ti ngeyo Klisto, Muana Nzambi, wunkuiza va nza.
She saith to him, Yes, my Lord; I believe that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, who cometh into the world.
28 Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Malata wuyenda tela mu kinsueki Maliya, khombꞌandi yinketo, mu kunkamba: —Maliya, Nlongi wizidingi, ngeyo kantela!
And when she had said these, she went, called Mariam her sister in secret, and said to her, Our Master hath come, and calleth for thee.
29 Maliya bu katumbu wa Malata; wutelama mu nsualu ayi wuyenda kuidi Yesu.
When Mariam heard, she arose quickly, and came to him.
30 Muaki buna Yesu kakikotidi ko mu buala, wuba kaka va buangu kioki Malata kayiza kundenginina.
But Jeshu himself had not yet come into the village, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 Bayuda bobo baba ayi Maliya mu nzo ayi bobo baba kumbomba, bu bamona ti Maliya wutumbu telama mu nsualu ayi wutotuka, buna banlandakana bila babanizla ti wedi ku biziami ku dila.
But those Jihudoyee who were also with her in the house to console her, when they saw that Mariam rose up hastily to go forth, went themselves after her; for they thought that to the sepulchre she went to weep.
32 Vayi Maliya wutula vaba Yesu, bu kammona buna wubua va malu mandi ayi wunkamba: —Pfumu, enati wubedi vava nganu khombꞌama kasi fua ko!
But she, Mariam, when she was come where Jeshu was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying, If thou hadst been here, my Lord, my brother had not died.
33 Yesu bu kamona ti Maliya wulembo didi va kimosi ayi bayuda bobo babayandi, buna kiadi kingolo kimbuila mu ntima.
But Jeshu, when he saw her weeping, and those Jihudoyee who came with her weeping, he was moved in his spirit, and was troubled,
34 Buna wuyuvula: —Kuevi luntudidi e? Bamvutudila: —Pfumu Yiza tadi.
and said, Where have you laid him? And they said to him, Our Lord, come and see.
35 Yesu wudila.
And the tears of Jeshu came.
36 Bayuda batuba: —A beno…, Tala phila yikanzodila!
And the Jihudoyee said, See how he loved him!
37 Vayi bankaka mu bawu batuba: —Mutu wawu niandi wuzibula meso ma phofo, nganu kasi vanga ko diambumuingi mutu wawu kabika fua e?
But some of them said, Could not this who opened the eyes of that blind have caused also that this should not have died?
38 Yesu wuluta buela mona kiadi kiwombo mu ntima. Wuyenda ku biziami. Ziami beni kiba kisokolo mu ditadi. Va muelo vawu batula ditadi dinneni.
Jeshu, groaning within himself, came to the house of burial; and that house of burial was a cave, and a stone was laid at the gate of it.
39 Yesu wuba kamba: —Botulanu ditadi diodi. Malata, khomba yi mutu wufua, wunkamba: —Pfumu, weka kuiza tsudi bila kiaki kieka lumbu kinya tona kazikulu.
And Jeshu said, Take up this stone. Martha, the sister of him (who was) dead, saith to him, My Lord, he now stinketh; for four days are to him.
40 Yesu wunkamba: —Ndisi kukambanga ko ti mawumona nkembo wu Nzambi enati wilukidi e?
Jeshu said to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wilt believe, thou shalt see the glory of Aloha?
41 Babotula ditadi. Yesu wuvumbula meso mandi ku diyilu, wutuba: —Tata, ndivutudidi matondo bila wukunguilanga.
And they took up the stone. And Jeshu lifted his eye upward, and said, Father, I give thanks to thee that thou hast heard me;
42 Nzebi ti weta kunguila mu zithangu zioso, vayi enati ndintubila bobo mu diambu di nkangu wawu wunzungididi muingi bakikinina ti ngeyo wuthuma.
and I know that at all times thou hearest me: yet, because of this assembly which standeth, I say these (words), that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Bu kamana tuba mambu momo, Yesu wuyamikina mau mbembo yingolo: —Lazale, totuka!
And when he had said these (words), he cried with a high voice, Loozar, come without!
44 Mutu wufua wutotuka, wuzingu bitendi-bitendi bi minledi mu mioko ayimu malu; zizi kiandi kifuku ku tsi nledi. Yesu wuba kamba: —Lunnianguna, lumbika kenda kuandi.
And he, the dead, came forth, his hands and his feet being bound with bandages, and his face in a linen cloth. Jeshu saith to them, Release him, and let (him) go.
45 Bawombo mu Bayuda bobo bayiza kuidi Maliya, bu bamona mambu momo mavanga Yesu, banwilukila.
And many of the Jihudoyee who came with Mariam, when they saw the thing which Jeshu did, believed on him.
46 Vayi bankaka mu bawu bayenda bata Bafalisi ayi baba kamba mamo mavanga Yesu.
And some of them went to the Pharishee, and told them every thing that Jeshu had done.
47 Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bakutakana mu lukutukunu lunneni ayi bakamba: —Mbi tufueti vanga e? Bila mutu wawu wulembo vangi bikumu biwombo.
AND the chief priests and Pharishee assembled, and said, What shall we do? because this man doeth many signs;
48 Beto kumbika ti kalembo kavanganga bobo, buna batu babo mabanwilukila. Buna basi Loma bela kuiza, bela tulula nzuꞌeto Nzambi ayi tsi eto.
and if we leave him thus, all men will believe on him, and the Rumoyee, coming, take away our country and our people.
49 Vayi wumosi mu bawu, dizina diandi Kayife, niandi wuba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, wuba kamba: —A buna lusi zaba kadi kiasa ko e?
But one of them, whose name was Kaiapha, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them, You know not any thing,
50 Luisi zaba ko ti bulutidi mboti mutu wumosi kafua mu diambu di batu boso ayi tsi yoso yibika bungu!
nor reason that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not all the people perish.
51 Kasia tuba mambu momo mu luzolo luandi veka ko. Vayi bu kaba pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi mu mvu beni, buna wubikula ti Yesu kafueti fua mu diambu di tsi andi.
But this from himself he spake not, but because he was high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jeshu should die for the people,
52 Bika sia ti mu diambu di tsi kaka, vayi mu diambu di kutikisabana babo ba Nzambi bamana sasakana muingi bakituka mutu wumosi.
and not only for (that) people, but also that the children of Aloha who are dispersed he should gather into one.
53 Tona lumbu kina, bawizana va kimosi mu diambu bamvondisa.
And from that day they determined to kill him.
54 Diawu, Yesu kasi buela kukimonikisa ko va meso ma bayuda. Wubotuka kuna, wuyenda ku zunga kifikimini ayi dikanga, ku divuladibeti tedilanga Efalayimi. Wuvuanda kuna ayi minlonguki miandi.
But Jeshu himself walked not openly among the Jihudoyee, but went from thence to the region near the wilderness, to a region which was called Ephrem, and there conversed with his disciples.
55 Pasika yi Bayuda yifikama batu bawombo baba mu mala bayenda ku Yeluzalemi tuamina Pasika yiba mu diambu di bakivedisa.
NOW the petscha of the Jihudoyee drew nigh; and many went up from the country places to Urishlem before the festival, to purify themselves.
56 Batomba Yesu. Ayi bu baba mu Nzo Nzambi bayuvasana bawu na bawu: —Buevi lumbanza e? Lummuena ti kalendi kuiza ko ku nyengo e?
And they sought for Jeshu, and said one to another in the temple, What think you, that he cometh to the feast?
57 Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi bavana lutumunu muidi batu ti woso kuandi wunzaba kuidi Yesu, buna kafueti samuna muingi bankanga.
But the chief priests and Pharishee had commanded that if any man knew where (he was), he should declare it to them, as that they might apprehend him.
