John 12
1 Bilumbu bisambanu bisiala muingi nyengo Pasika wuba, Yesu wuyenda ku Betani kuba Lazale mutu wowo kafulukisa.
Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He raised from the dead.
2 Banlambila ndikulu yinneni. Malata wuba tudila bidia va meza; Lazale mamvandi wuba wumosi mu bawu bavuanda yandi va meza.
Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down with Him.
3 Maliya wubonga ndambu yi lita yi malasi, makambu sobukusu, mathalumavangulu mu nale wudukula mawu mu malu ma Yesu, wufiona malu mandi muzitsuki ziandi. Nzo yoso yimana wala tsudi malasi.
And Mary taking a pound of ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Wumosi mu minlonguki miandi, Yuda Isikalioti wukana kumvakula, wutuba:
Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,
5 —Bila mbi kadi kuandi sumbisa malasi beni mu zikhama zitatu zi denali, bosi yeka vana zimbongo beni kuidi minsukami e?
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?
6 Wutubila bobo bika sia mu diambu di kabela minsukami mayinduvayi wutubila bobo bila wuba muivi, niandi wuba lundanga kesi ya zimbongo ayi wuba yibanga zimbongo ziozi ziba tulungu muna.
He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.
7 Yesu wutuba: —Lumbika, bila lundidi mawu mu diambu di lumbu ki nzikuluꞌama.
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.
8 Bila minsukami midi yeno mu zithangu zioso va kimosi vayi beno lulendi kalanga yama mu zithangu zioso ko!
For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always.
9 Nkangu wunneni mu bayuda bazaba ti Yesu widi kuna, buna bayiza kuna, bika sia ti mudiambu di tala Yesu kaka vayi muingi bamona Lazale mutu wowo Yesu kafulukisa.
And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi zikutakana mu diambu di vondisa Lazale.
Wherefore the chief priests took counsel to put Lazarus also to death.
11 Bila mu diambu diandi Bayuda bawombo batina ayi bawilukila Yesu.
Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.
12 Lumbu kilanda, nkangu wu batu wuyiza ku nyengo bu wuwa ti Yesuwulembo yizi ku Yelusalemi;
The next day a great multitude that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,
13 buna babonga mandalala ayi bayenda ku ntualꞌandi bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Ozana! Bika kasakumuna mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu, Ntinu wu Iseli.
and went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 Yesu bu kamona muana phunda wuvuanda va mbata phunda beni banga busonimina:
And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,
15 Bika kuaku mona boma ngeyo muana ndumba wu Sioni Tala ntinuꞌaku wizidi, buna kavuendi va mbata muana phunda.
as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on an ass's colt."
16 Minlonguki miandi misia tuama zaba ko tsundu mambu momo. Vayi Yesu bu kamana kemboso, bosi mitebuka moyo ti mambu beni momo masonama mu diambu diandi ayi bavanga mambu momo mu diambu diadi.
Now his disciples did not understand these things at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him, and that they had done thus unto Him.
17 Nkangu wowo wuba yandi wuntelimina kimbangi mu diambu katotula Lazale mu ziami ayi mu diambu kamfulukisa mu bafua.
And the people that were with Him testified, that He called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead:
18 Diawu diodi bawombo bayiza ku ntualꞌandi mu kundengana bu bawa ti niandi wuvanga kumu kioki.
and for this reason the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle.
19 Bafalisi bakambasana bawu na bawu: —Lulembo moni ti lulendi nunga ko! Bila tala batu boso balembo nlandakana.
The pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the world is gone after Him.
20 Basi Ngelesi bankaka bayiza mu sambila ku Yelusalemi mu lumbu ki nyengo,
And among those that came up to worship at the feast there were certain Greeks:
21 bayenda bata Filipi muisi Betesayida; divula didi mu tsi Ngalili, banleba ayi bankamba: —Tata, tutidi mona Yesu!
that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Filipi wuyenda ayi wukamba buawu Andele. Andele va kimosi ayi Filipi bayiza kamba buawu yesu.
And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Yesu wuba vutudila: —Thangu yifueni yoyi Muana Mutu yikafueti kembosolo.
And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to be glorified.
24 Bukiedika, bukiedika ndikulukamba enati luteti lu ble lolo lubuidi va ntoto lukadi bola, buna luidi kaka luawu veka. Vayi enati lubodidi buna lumbutanga zitheti ziwombo.
Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth much fruit.
25 Woso mutu wunzola luzingu luandi, wela luzimbisa vayi woso wunlenda luzingu luandi va ntoto wawu wela lulunda mu diambu di luzingu lukalumani. (aiōnios g166)
So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Woso wukutsadila, bika kandandakana. Ayi koso ku ndidi kuna kuela ba kisadi kiama. Tata wela kinzika woso wu kutsadila.
If any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: and if any one serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Buabu muelꞌamam weka kiadi kiwombo. Mbi mfueti tuba e? Tata, wukhula mu thangu yayi. Vayi ndiyizila mu diambu di thangu yayi.
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour.
28 Tata, kembisa dizina diaku! Muna thangu beni, mbembo yiba ku Diyilu yiwakana: —Minu ndikembisa diawu ayi ndiela buela kudikembisa diaka.
Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Nkangu wu batu baba vana bawa mbembo beni, batuba ti: —Yibedi nzazi. Vayi bankaka batuba ti: —Mbasi yiza kunyolukila.
The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake to Him.
30 Yesu wuba kamba: —Mbembo yisi wakakana mu diambu diama ko vayi yiwakikini mu diambu dieno.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Buabu tsambusulu yi nza yayi yifueni; buabu pfumu yi nza yayi lozolo ku nganda.
Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Minu bu ndiela tombolo ku diyilu, buna ndiela tuta batu boso kuidi minu.
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto me.
33 Yesu wutuba mambu momo mu diambu di monisa phila lufua kela fuila.
This He said, signifying what death He should die.
34 Nkangu wumvutudila: —Beto tuzebi mu Mina ti Klisto kafueti zinga mu zithangu zioso. Vayi buna buevi ngeyo wuntubila ti Muana Mutu kafueti tombulu ku Diyilu e? Buna nani Muana mutu beni e? (aiōn g165)
The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu wuba kamba: —Mu thangu yifioti kaka, kiezila kididi va khatitsikꞌeno buna bika ludiata bu luki ayi kiezila muingi tombi kibika kulubuila. Bila woso wundiatila mu tombi kakadi zaba kuevi keti kuenda.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Sumbu lukidi ayi kiezila buna luwilukila mu kiezila muingi beno luba bana ba kiezila. Yesu wutuba mambu momo, wuyenda, wusuama va meso mawu.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.
37 Ka diambu ko Yesu wuvanga bikumu biwombo va meso mawu vayi bamanga ku nwilukila.
But though He had done so many miracles before their eyes, yet they did not believe on Him:
38 Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu mabikula mbikudi Ezayi: Pfumu, nani wuwilukila mambu momo kawa kuidi beto e? Ayi kuidi nani kumonikinina lulendo lu Pfumu e?
so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Diawu balendi wilukila ko bila Ezayi wubuela bikula:
And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,
40 Niandi wuvonda meso mawu Ayi wukitula mintima miawu matadi muingi babika mona ayi babika sudika mu mintima miawu mu diambu babika balula mavanga; muingi ndiedi kuba belusa.
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Ezayi wutubila bobo mu diambu kamona nkemo wu Yesu ayi wuyolukila mu diambu diandi.
These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning Him.
42 Muaki bawombo mu bapfumu zi Bayuda bawilukila Yesu vayi bamanga kuditelimina kimbangi mu diambu di Bafalisi bedi ku batotula mu nzo yi lukutukunu.
There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.
43 Bila baluta zola nkembo wu batu bika nkembo wu Nzambi.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Yesu wutuba mu ndinga yingolo: —Woso wunguilukidi buna bika sia ti minu veka kawilukidi vayi wilukidi diaka mutu wowo wuthuma.
And Jesus raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:
45 Woso mutu wumbueni, mueni mutu wuthuma.
and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth Him that sent me.
46 Minu ndiyiza va nza banga kiezila mu diambu di woso mutuwukunguilukila kabika ba mu tombi.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, might not abide in darkness.
47 Woso mutu wulembo wi mambu mama vayi kakadi kumasadila, ndilendi kunsambisa ko bila ndisia kuiza mu diambu di sambisa nza ko vayi ndiyiza mu diambu di vukisa nza.
And if any one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn the world, but to save the world.
48 Woso wu kundoza ayi wunkamba tambula mambu mama beki zuzi diandi. Mambu momo ndituba mawu mela kunsambisa mu lumbu kitsuka.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn him at the last day.
49 Bila ndisia tubila mu luzolo luama veka ko vayi mu luzolo lu Dise diodi dithuma. Niandi veka wuthumina mambu momo mfueti tuba ayi buevi mfueti tubila.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
