Joan 11
1 Cen bada Lazaro deitzen cen guiçombat eri, Bethaniaco, Mariaren eta Martha haren ahizparen burguco.
Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (Eta Maria haur cen Iauna vnguentuz vnctatu çuena, eta haren oinac bere adatseco biloez ichucatu cituena: ceinen anaye Lazaro baitzen eri)
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Igor ceçaten bada hunen arrebéc harengana, cioitela, Iauna, huná, hic maite duana, eri duc.
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus — ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
4 Eta hori ençunic Iesusec erran ceçan, Eritassun hori ezta heriotara, baina Iaincoaren gloriatan, eritassun harçaz Iaincoaren Semea glorifica dadinçat.
and, when Jesus heard it, he said: “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honour of God, in order that the Son of God may be honoured through it.”
5 Eta cituen maite Iesusec Martha, eta haren ahizpá, eta Lazaro.
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Bada ençun çuenean ecen eri cela, bi egun egon cedin, orduan non baitzén leku hartan.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Guero horren ondoan erran ciecén discipuluey, Goacen Iudearát berriz.
Then, after that, he said to his disciples: “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Diotsate discipuluéc, Magistruá, orain ciabiltzan Iuduac hi lapidatu nahiz, eta berriz hara ioaiten aiz?
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?”
9 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec, Egunean eztira hamabi oren? baldin nehor egunaz ebil badadi, ezta behaztopatzen: ecen mundu hunetaco arguia ikusten du.
“Are not there twelve hours in the day?” answered Jesus. “If a man walks about in the day-time, he does not stumble, because he can see the light of the sun;
10 Baina baldin nehor ebil badadi gauaz, behaztopatzen da: ecen arguiric ezta hura baithan.
but, if he walks about at night, he stumbles, because he has not the light.”
11 Gauça hauc erraiten ditu, eta guero dioste, Lazaro gure adiquisdea lo datza, baina banoa iratzar deçadan.
And, when he had said this, he added: “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going that I may wake him.”
12 Erran cieçoten bada bere discipuléc, Iauna, baldin lo badatza sendaturen duc.
“If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
13 Eta haur erran ceçan Iesusec haren herioaz: eta hec vste çuten lozco lokartzeaz erraiten çuela.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 Orduan bada erran ciecén Iesusec claroqui, Lazaro hil da:
Then he said to them plainly: “Lazarus is dead;
15 Eta aleguera naiz çuengatic (sinhets deçaçuençat) ceren ezpainincén han: baina goacen harengana.
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him.”
16 Erran ciecén bada Thomas Didymus deitzen denac discipulu laguney, Goacen gu-ere horrequin hil gaitecençát.
At this, Thomas, who was called ‘The Twin,’ said to his fellow-disciples: “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
17 Ethor cedin bada Iesus, eta eriden ceçan hura ia laur egun çuela monumentean cela.
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 Cen bada Bethania hurbil Ierusalemeren hamaborz stadioren inguruä:
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 Eta Iuduetaric anhitz ethor citecen Marthagana eta Mariagana, hec consola litzatençát bere anayeaz.
a number of the Jews had come there to condole with Martha and Mary on their brother’s death.
20 Marthac bada ençun ceçanean Iesus ethorten cela, aitzinera ilki cequión: eta Maria etchean iarriric cegoen.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 Erran cieçón bada Marthac Iesusi, Iauna, baldin içan bahinz hemen, ene anaye etzuqueán hil:
“Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Baina orain-ere baceaquiat ecen cer-ere galde eguinen baitraucac Iaincoari, emanen drauala hiri.
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
23 Diotsa Iesusec, Resuscitaturen dun hire anaye.
“Your brother shall rise to life,” said Jesus.
24 Diotsa Marthac, Baceaquiat ecen resuscitaturen dela resurrectionean, azquen egunean.
“I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at the Last Day.”
25 Erran cieçón Iesusec, Ni naun resurrectionea eta vicitzea: ni baithan sinhesten duena, baldin hil içan badere vicico dun:
“I am the Resurrection and the Life,” said Jesus. “He that believes in me shall live, though he die;
26 Eta nor-ere vici baita, eta sinhesten baitu ni baithan, seculan eztun hilen. Sinhesten dun haur? (aiōn g165)
and he who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Erraiten drauca, Bay, Iauna, nic diat sinhesten ecen hi aicela Christ Iaincoaren Seme mundura ethorteco cena.
“Yes Master,” she answered; “I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, ‘who was to come’ into the world.”
28 Eta haur erranic, ioan cedin, eta secretuqui dei ceçan Maria bere ahizpá, cioela, Magistrua dun hemen, eta deitzen au.
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered: “The Teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 Hura, hori ençun duenean, iaiquiten da fitetz, eta ethorten da harengana.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 Ecen oraino etzén ethorri Iesus burgura: baina cen Marthac encontratu çuen lekuan.
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 Orduan harequin etchean ciraden Iuduac, eta hura consolatzen çutenac, ikussiric ecen Maria hain fitetz iaiqui, eta ilki cela, iarreiqui cequizquion hari, cioitela, Monumentera ioaiten da, han nigar daguiançat.
So the Jews, who were in the house with Mary, condoling with her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Bada Mariac, ethor cedinean Iesus cen lekura, hura ikussiric, egotz ceçan bere buruä haren oinetara, ciotsala, Iauna, baldin içan bahinz hemen, etzuqueán hil ene anaye.
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. “Master,” she exclaimed, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died!”
33 Iesusec bada ikus ceçanean hura nigarrez legoela, eta harequin ethorri ciraden Iuduac nigarrez leudela, spirituz mouituric trubla ceçan bere buruä:
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 Eta erran ceçan, Non eçarri duçue? Erraiten draucate, Iauna, athor eta ikussac.
“Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
35 Eta nigar eguin ceçan Iesusec.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Erran ceçaten bada Iuduéc, Horra nola maite çuen.
“How he must have loved him!” the Jews exclaimed;
37 Eta hetaric batzuc erran ceçaten, Ecin eguin ciroqueen itsuaren beguiac irequi dituen hunec, haur-ere hil ezladin?
but some of them said: “Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?”
38 Iesus bada berriz bere baithan mouitzen cela, ethorten da monumentera, eta lecea cen, eta harribat haren gainera, eçarria.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
39 Dio Iesusec, Altcha eçaçue harria. Diotsa Marthac, hil içan cenaren arrebác, Iauna, kirestu duc gaurguero: ecen laur egunetacoa duc.
“Move the stone away,” said Jesus. “Master,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.”
40 Diotsa Iesusec, Eztraunat erran, ecen baldin sinhets badeçan ikussiren dunala Iaincoaren gloria?
“Did not I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?”
41 Ken ceçaten bada harria, hila eçarri içan cen lekutic. Orduan Iesusec altchaturic goiti beguiac, erran ceçan, Aitá, esquerrac emaiten drauzquiat, ceren ençun bainauc:
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said: “Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard my prayer;
42 Eta nic baniaquián ecen bethi ençuten nauala: baina inguru dagoen gendetzeagatic erran diát, sinhets deçatençat ecen hic igorri nauala.
I know that thou always hearest me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that thou has sent me as thy Messenger.”
43 Eta hauc erranic, voz goraz oihu eguin ceçan, Lazaro, athor campora.
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice: “Lazarus! come out!”
44 Eta hil içan cena ilki cedin, escuac eta oinac lothuraz lothuac cituela: eta haren beguithartea crobitchet batez cen estalia. Dioste Iesusec, Lacha eçaçue eta vtzi eçaçue ioaitera.
The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “and let him go.”
45 Bada Iudu Mariagana ethorri ciradenetaric, eta Iesusec eguin cituen gauçác ikussi cituztenetaric anhitzec sinhets ceçaten hura baithan.
In consequence of this, many of the Jews, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, learned to believe in him.
46 Baina hetaric batzu ioan citecen Phariseuetara, eta erran cietzen hæy Iesusec eguin cituen gauçác.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
47 Orduan bil ceçaten Sacrificadore principaléc eta Phariseuéc conseillua, eta erraiten çuten, Cer eguiten dugu, ecen guiçon hunec anhitz signo eguiten du.
Upon this the Chief Priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said: “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?
48 Baldin hunela vtzi badeçagu, guciéc sinhetsiren duté hori baithan: eta ethorriren dirade Romanoac, eta arrasaturen duté bay gure lekua, bay nationea.
If we let him alone as we are doing, every one will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our City and our Nationality.”
49 Orduan hetaric batec, Caiphasec, cein baitzén vrthe hartaco Sacrificadore subirano, erran ciecén, Çuec eztaquiçue deus:
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them:
50 Eta eztuçue pensatzen ecen probetchu dugula, guiçombat hil dadin populuagatic, eta natione gucia gal eztadin.
“You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”
51 Eta haur bere burutic etzeçan erran: baina nola baitzén vrthe hartaco Sacrificadore subirano, prophetiza ceçan ecen Iesusec hil behar luela nationeagatic.
Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as High Priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation —
52 Eta ez solament natione harengatic, baina are Iaincoaren haour barreyatuac bil litzançát batetara
And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the Children of God now scattered far and wide.
53 Bada egun harçaz gueroztic consultatzen çutén elkarrequin hura hil leçatençát.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
54 Iesus bada guehiagoric etzabilan aguerriz Iuduén artean: baina ioan cedin handic desertuaren aldeco comarcarát, Ephraim deitzen den hirira: eta han egoiten cen bere discipuluequin.
In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the Jews any more, but left that neighbourhood, and went into the country bordering on the Wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 Eta cen hurbil Iuduén bazcoa, eta igan cedin anhitz Ierusalemera comarca hartacoric bazco aitzinean, purifica litecençat.
But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their ‘purification,’ before the Festival began.
56 Bada Iesusen bilha çabiltzan, eta elkarren artean erraiten çutén, templean leudela, Cer irudi çaiçue, ecen eztela ethorriren bestara?
So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts: “What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?”
57 Eta eman ceçaten Sacrificadore principaléc eta Phariseuéc manamendu, baldin nehorc eçagutzen balu non licén, eracuts leçan, hatzaman leçatençát.
The Chief Priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if any one learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
