John 12
1 Nítorí náà, nígbà tí àjọ ìrékọjá ku ọjọ́ mẹ́fà, Jesu wá sí Betani, níbi tí Lasaru wà, ẹni tí ó ti kú, tí Jesu jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2 Wọ́n sì ṣe àsè alẹ́ fún un níbẹ̀. Marta sì ń ṣe ìránṣẹ́, ṣùgbọ́n Lasaru jẹ́ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó jókòó níbi tábìlì rẹ̀.
So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.
3 Nígbà náà ni Maria mú òróró ìkunra nadi, òsùwọ̀n lita kan, àìlábùlà, olówó iyebíye, ó sì ń fi kun Jesu ní ẹsẹ̀, ó sì ń fi irun orí rẹ̀ nu ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ nù. Ilé sì kún fún òórùn ìkunra náà.
Then Mary took a pound of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over his feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, Judasi Iskariotu, ọmọ Simoni ẹni tí yóò fi í hàn, wí pé,
Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him,
5 “Èéṣe tí a kò ta òróró ìkunra yìí ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún owó idẹ kí a sì fi fún àwọn tálákà?”
"Why was not this perfume sold for fifty dollars, and the proceeds given to the poor?"
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí èyí, kì í ṣe nítorí tí ó náání àwọn tálákà; ṣùgbọ́n nítorí tí ó jẹ́ olè, òun ni ó ni àpò, a sì máa jí ohun tí a fi sínú rẹ̀ láti fi ran ara rẹ lọ́wọ́.
This he said not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, carrying the purse,
7 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí pé, “Ẹ fi í sílẹ̀, ó ṣe é sílẹ̀ de ọjọ́ ìsìnkú mi.
used to purloin what was put in it. Then said Jesus. "Let her alone. Against the day of my burial has she kept this;
8 Nígbà gbogbo ni ẹ̀yin sá à ní tálákà pẹ̀lú yín; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ni ẹ kò ní nígbà gbogbo.”
for the poor you have with you always, but me you have not always."
9 Nítorí náà, ìjọ ènìyàn nínú àwọn Júù ni ó mọ̀ pé ó wà níbẹ̀; wọ́n sì wá, kì í ṣe nítorí Jesu nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn lè rí Lasaru pẹ̀lú, ẹni tí ó ti jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.
When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olórí àlùfáà gbìmọ̀ kí wọn lè pa Lasaru pẹ̀lú,
And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
11 nítorí pé nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn Júù jáde lọ, wọ́n sì gbà Jesu gbọ́.
because it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them, and beginning to believe on Jesus.
12 Ní ọjọ́ kejì nígbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí ó wá sí àjọ gbọ́ pé, Jesu ń bọ̀ wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
Next day the big crowd who had come up for the Passover heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
13 Wọ́n mú imọ̀ ọ̀pẹ, wọ́n sì jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ń kígbe pé, “Hosana!” “Olùbùkún ni ẹni tí ń bọ̀ wá ní orúkọ Olúwa!” “Olùbùkún ni ọba Israẹli!”
and taking branches from the palm trees went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Even Israel’s King!"
14 Nígbà tí Jesu sì rí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan, ó gùn ún; gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ̀wé pé,
And Jesus found a young ass and seated himself on it, as it is written,
15 “Má bẹ̀rù, ọmọbìnrin Sioni; wò ó, ọba rẹ ń bọ̀ wá, o jókòó lórí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh seated upon an ass’s colt.
16 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí kò tètè yé àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a ṣe Jesu lógo, nígbà náà ni wọ́n rántí pé, a kọ̀wé nǹkan wọ̀nyí nípa rẹ̀ sí i.
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to him.
17 Nítorí náà, ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nígbà tí o pé Lasaru jáde nínú ibojì rẹ̀, tí ó sì jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú, jẹ́rìí sí i.
Meanwhile the crowd which was with him when he summoned Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, kept witnessing.
18 Nítorí èyí ni ìjọ ènìyàn sì ṣe lọ pàdé rẹ̀, nítorí tí wọ́n gbọ́ pé ó ti ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì yìí.
For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.
19 Nítorí náà àwọn Farisi wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ kíyèsi bí ẹ kò ti lè borí ní ohunkóhun? Ẹ wo bí gbogbo ayé ti ń wọ́ tọ̀ ọ́!”
Then the Pharisees said among themselves. "You see! You can do nothing! Look! The world is gone after him!"
20 Àwọn Giriki kan sì wà nínú àwọn tí ó gòkè wá láti sìn nígbà àjọ,
Now there were certain Greeks among those who had come up to worship during the Passover feast;
21 Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ó tọ Filipi wá, ẹni tí í ṣe ará Betisaida tí Galili, wọ́n sì ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, pé, “Alàgbà, àwa ń fẹ́ rí Jesu!”
these came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we want to see Jesus."
22 Filipi wá, ó sì sọ fún Anderu; Anderu àti Filipi wá, wọ́n sì sọ fún Jesu.
Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered.
23 Jesu sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Wákàtí náà dé, tí a ó ṣe Ọmọ Ènìyàn lógo.
"The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Lóòótọ́, lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí kò ṣe pé alikama bá bọ́ sí ilẹ̀, tí ó bá sì kú, ó wà ní òun nìkan; ṣùgbọ́n bí ó bá kú, yóò sì so ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ èso.
In solemn truth I tell you that except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains a single kernel; but if it die it bears a great crop.
25 Ẹni tí ó bá fẹ́ ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ yóò sọ ọ́ nù; ẹni tí ó bá sì kórìíra ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ láyé yìí ni yóò sì pa á mọ́ títí ó fi di ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life loses it; and he who regards not his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ń sìn mí, kí ó máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, àti pe níbi tí èmi bá wà, níbẹ̀ ni ìránṣẹ́ mi yóò wà pẹ̀lú, bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ń sìn mí, òun ni Baba yóò bu ọlá fún.
If any one is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am there shall my servant be also. If any man is ready to serve me, him will my Father honor.
27 “Ní ìsinsin yìí ni a ń pọ́n ọkàn mi lójú; kín ni èmi ó sì wí? ‘Baba, gbà mí kúrò nínú wákàtí yìí’? Rárá, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí èyí ni mo ṣe wá sí wákàtí yìí.
Now is my soul disquieted. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? Nay, for this very cause I am come to this hour.
28 Baba, ṣe orúkọ rẹ lógo!” Nígbà náà ni ohùn kan ti ọ̀run wá, wí pé, “Èmi ti ṣe é lógo!”
Father, glorify thy name!" Whereupon there came a voice from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 Nítorí náà ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó dúró níbẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ ọ, wí pé, “Àrá ń sán.” Àwọn ẹlòmíràn wí pé, “Angẹli kan ni ó ń bá a sọ̀rọ̀.”
Then the crowd who stood around and heard it, said, "It thundered!" But others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30 Jesu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Kì í ṣe nítorí mi ni ohùn yìí ṣe wá, bí kò ṣe nítorí yín.
"It is not for my sake," answered Jesus, "that the voice came, but for your sakes.
31 Ní ìsinsin yìí ni ìdájọ́ ayé yìí dé: nísinsin yìí ni a ó lé aládé ayé yìí jáde.
Now is a judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be driven out.
32 Àti èmi, bí a bá gbé mi sókè kúrò ní ayé, èmi ó fa gbogbo ènìyàn sọ́dọ̀ ara mi!”
"AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO MYSELF."
33 Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí èyí, ó ń ṣe àpẹẹrẹ irú ikú tí òun yóò kú.
(In saying this he was signifying by what kind of death he was to die.)
34 Nítorí náà àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwa gbọ́ nínú òfin pé, Kristi wà títí láéláé, ìwọ ha ṣe wí pé, ‘A ó gbé Ọmọ Ènìyàn sókè’? Ta ni ó ń jẹ́ ‘Ọmọ Ènìyàn yìí’?” (aiōn g165)
Then the people answered. "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abides forever. What do you mean by ‘The Son of man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of man?" (aiōn g165)
35 Nígbà náà ni Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Nígbà díẹ̀ sí i ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ wà láàrín yín, ẹ máa rìn nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, kí òkùnkùn má ṣe bá yín, ẹni tí ó bá sì ń rìn ní òkùnkùn kò mọ ibi òun ń lọ.
"The Light is among you a little longer," answered Jesus. "Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ní ìmọ́lẹ̀, ẹ gba ìmọ́lẹ̀ gbọ́, kí ẹ lè jẹ́ ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀!” Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni Jesu sọ, ó sì jáde lọ, ó fi ara pamọ́ fún wọn.
While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become Sons of Light."
37 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iṣẹ́ àmì tó báyìí lójú wọn, wọn kò gbà á gbọ́.
With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in him.
38 Kí ọ̀rọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah lè ṣẹ, èyí tí ó sọ pé, “Olúwa, ta ni ó gba ìwàásù wa gbọ́ Àti ta ni a sì fi apá Olúwa hàn fún?”
So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Nítorí èyí ni wọn kò fi lè gbàgbọ́, nítorí Isaiah sì tún sọ pé,
This was why they could not believe, because Isaiah said again.
40 “Ó ti fọ́ wọn lójú, Ó sì ti sé àyà wọn le; kí wọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí, kí wọn má ba à fi ọkàn wọn mọ̀, kí wọn má ba à yípadà, kí èmi má ba à mú wọn láradá.”
He hath blinded their eyes and make their hearts hard, Lest they should see with their eyes, perceive with their minds, And should turn, and I should heal them.
41 Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni Isaiah wí, nítorí ó ti rí ògo rẹ̀, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀.
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.
42 Síbẹ̀ ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn olórí gbà á gbọ́ pẹ̀lú; ṣùgbọ́n nítorí àwọn Farisi wọn kò jẹ́wọ́ rẹ̀, kí a má ba à yọ wọ́n kúrò nínú Sinagọgu,
Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue.
43 nítorí wọ́n fẹ́ ìyìn ènìyàn ju ìyìn ti Ọlọ́run lọ.
For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
44 Jesu sì kígbe ó sì wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́, èmi kọ́ ni ó gbàgbọ́ ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó rán mi.
Now Jesus, speaking in a loud voice, had said.
45 Ẹni tí ó bá sì rí mi, ó rí ẹni tí ó rán mi.
"He who believes in me believes not in me, but in Him who sent me; and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Èmi ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ó wá sí ayé, kí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbà mí gbọ́ má ṣe wà nínú òkùnkùn.
Like light am I come into the world, so that no one who believes in me may remain in darkness.
47 “Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, tí kò sì pa wọ́n mọ́, èmi kì yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ nítorí tí èmi kò wá láti ṣe ìdájọ́ ayé, bí kò ṣe láti gba ayé là.
And if any one hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I am not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Ẹni tí ó bá kọ̀ mí, tí kò sì gba ọ̀rọ̀ mi, ó ní ẹnìkan tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀; ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ, òun náà ni yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìkẹyìn.
He who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has indeed a judge. The message which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the Last Day,
49 Nítorí èmi kò dá ọ̀rọ̀ sọ fún ara mi, ṣùgbọ́n Baba tí ó rán mi, ni ó ti fún mi ní àṣẹ, ohun tí èmi ó sọ, àti èyí tí èmi ó wí.
because I have never spoken on my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me gave me commandment what to say and what words to speak.
