Yuhana 12
1 Upaska dutu nin nayiri kutocin, Yesu da Ubaitanya, kikanga na Laazaru wa duku, ulenge na awa fyaghe nkul.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.
2 I kanjaghe imori kikane, Martari wadi nkosue, Laazaru wadi nanya nale na iwa sosin kutebul nin Yesu.
So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.
3 Maryamu yauna libon nuf nin kunya kumang na idin yicu minin nard, a titilo nabunun Yesu, a wesse abune nin titi me; kunya nnufe mala kiti vat nanya kilare.
Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.
4 Umong nanyan nono katwa me, ule na idin yicu Yahuda Iskaroti, ulenge na amere ma lewu Yesu ku, woro.
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,
5 Inyaghari nwantina ulewu nnuf mone nanya nidinari akalt atat ikossu anan diru?”
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?
6 Awa belli nani na bara adin lanzu nkunekune nanan diruere ba, ama bara na ame ukiriari: amere wadi unan mizunu nka nikurfunghe anan se ayira litime imong nanya
(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)
7 Yesu woro, “Sunnaghe ali ubun nimon ile na adi mun bara lirin nkasunigha adinsue.
Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.
8 Idi ligowe nin na nan dirre ko kome kub, na ima yitu ligowe nan mi ko kome kubi ba.”
The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
9 A Yahudawa gbardang lanza Yesu di kikane, ida, na bara Yesu cas ba, ama inan se iyene Laazaru ku, ulenge na Yesu wa fyaghe nanya nkul.
Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.
10 Ama adidya na nan dursuzu kite munu tinuu imolu Laazaru ku;
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;
11 bara amere a Yahudawa gbardang wa sun nani iyinna nin Yesu.
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.
12 Ukurtunun nkuiye anit gbardang da kitin buke. Na ilanza Yesu din cinu udak Urshalima.
The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Ibalsa incem inuzu udundi zuru ninghe, itiza ntet, iworo, “Hossana! Unan mariari ulenge na ada nanya lissa NCikilari, Ugo in Israila.”
Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
14 Yesu se kajaki kabene a ghanaku nafo na iwa yertin.
And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,
15 “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, fe ushonon Sihiyona; yenen Ugo mine din cinu, assosin kitene kajaki kabene.”
Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.
16 Na nono katwa me wa yinin ileli imone nin cizune ba; ama na iwa ti Yesu ku gongong, ilizino nworu ina nyertin ileli imone litime inung ani nsughe inin.
(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)
17 Nene ligozin nanite na iwa di nin Yesu kube na awa yicila Laazaru ku a fyaghe nanya kissek, inung wa belu among.
Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.
18 Bara nanere wati ligozin loli wa nuzu lidi zuro ninghe bara na iwa lanza asu ileli imone.
And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.
19 A farisawa woro nati mine, “Yenen, iwasa ita imonmong ba; uyii vat din dortughe.”
Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.
20 Among a Helenawa wa di nanya na lenge na iwa do nsujada kitin nbuke.
Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:
21 Inughe do kitin Filibus, ulenge na awa nuzu Nbaitanya Ngalili, itiringhe, iworo, “Cikilari tidi ninsu tiyene Yesu ku.”
They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Yesu do adi bellin Andirawus ku, Andirawus nin Filibus do idi belin Yesu ku.
Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.
23 Yesu kawa nani, aworo, “Kube nda nworu iti Usaun Nnit gongong.
And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.
24 Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, se fimus ficikapa ndeo kutyin fiku, andi na nani ba, fiba lawu finin firume; ama andi fiku, fima nin maru imong iyip gbardang.
Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.
25 Ame ulenge na adi nin su nlai me ama diru unin; ame ulenge na anari ulai me nanya nle uye ma ciu unin ucin du ulai nsa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever. (aiōnios g166)
26 Andi umong din sui katwa, na a dortui; kiti kanga na nduku, kikanere kucin ning ma yitu ku wang, andi umong din sui katwa, Uci ning ma ni unit une tikunang.
If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.
27 Ayi ning nana nene; Iyaghari mma bellu? 'Ucif sui utucu nanya kubi kone?' Bara ile imonere nda ko kube.
Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.
28 Ucif, ta lissafe gonggong,” Liwui nuzu kitene kani liworo, “Nna ti lining gongong, nma kur nti lining gongon tutung.”
Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.
29 Ligozin nanite na iwa yissin kitene wa lanza i woro Kutelle tuto. Among woro, “Gono kadura Kutelleari nlirina ninghe.”
Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.
30 Yesu kawa a woro, “Na liwui lole nda bara Menghari ba, ama bara anughere.
Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.
31 Nenere idin shara in yii ulele; Nene ima ko unan tigo nyii ulele.
Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.
32 A Meng, asa ifyi nanya kutyin, nma wunnu anit vat udak kitining.”
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.
33 Awa bellin nani adurso imus nkul ule na uma seghe.
(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
34 Ligozin kawaghe, iworo, “Tina lanza nanya nduka Kristi maso sa ligang. Iyiziari uworo, 'Ima fyu Usaun Nnit kitene gbas? Ghari Usaun Nnit une?” (aiōn g165)
Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu woro nani, “Nkanang du kiti mine nin kubi bat. Sun ucin a nkanang dutu kiti mine, ana nsirti nsa da duru minu ba. Ulenge na adin cinu nanya nsirti na ayiru kiti kanga na adin cinu udue ba.
Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.
36 Yinnan a idutu nin kananghe, inan so nonon kanang.”
In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.
37 Vat nin nimon izikiki gbardang na Yesu wa su nbun mine, vat nin nani na iyinna ninghe ba.
But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:
38 Bara ulirun Ishaya unan liru nin nuu Kutelle nan kulo, ule na awa woro: “Cikilari, ghari nyinna nin liru bite? Ucara Ncikilari ndurso liti kiti ghari?
So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?
39 Bara ilenge imone na iwa yinnin ba, Ishaya wa kuru a belle.
For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,
40 “Ana ti idu niyizi mine, amini na kuru ata nibinai mine getek; andi na nani ba, ima yenju nin niyizi mine, ikuru iyinnin nin nibinayi mine, inin kpilin, Meng nin shin ninghinu.”
He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.
41 Ishaya wa belin ileli imone bara na awa yene ngongong Yesu asu uliru litime.
(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)
42 Vat nin nani, among gbardang wang nanya na didyawe wa yinin nin Yesu; ana bara a Farisawa na iwa yinin ba bara iwa kala nani nanya kutii nlira.
However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:
43 Iwa di nin su nzazinu nanit ukatina nani uzazinu Kutelle.
For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.
44 Yesu ghatina liwui kang aworo, “Ulenge na ayinna nin mi, na Menghari a yinna mun cas ba ama umunu ulenge na ana tuyi na wang,
Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 ulenge na ayenei, ayene ulenge na ana tuyi.
And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.
46 Meng na dak nafo nkanang nanya nyii ulele bara vat nnit ule na ayinna nin mi ama lawu nanya nsirti ba.
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.
47 Asa umong lanza uliru nighe na asu katwa mun ba, na nma sughe ushara ba; bara na nna dak nsun yii ushara ba, nna dak ntucu uyere.
And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.
48 Ulenge na anari menku, amini nari userun nliru nighe di nin lenge na adin sughe ushara; ulirere na ndin bellu ma sughe ushara liri nimalin.
He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.
49 Na ndin liru litining ba. Nna din su un Cifning nin na ana tuyi, ulenge na ana nii likara nliru ule na nma bellu nin liru ule na nma su.
For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.
