Joan 12
1 Bada Iesus sey egun bazcoren aitzinetic ethor cedin Bethaniara, non baitzén Lazaro hil içan cena, cein resuscitatu baitzuen hiletaric.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
2 Eguin cieçoten bada hari affaribat han, eta Marthac cerbitzua eguiten çuen: eta Lazaro cen harequin mahainean iarriric ceudenetaric bat.
There a supper was given in his honor at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
3 Orduan Mariac harturic liberabat vnguentu aspic finez precio handitacoric, vncta citzan Iesusen oinac, eta ichuca citzan bere adatsaz: eta etchea bethe cedin vnguentuaren vrrinez.
So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
4 Orduan erran ceçan haren discipuluetaric batec, Iudas Iscariot Simonen semeac, hura tradituren çuenac.
One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
5 Ceren vnguentu haur ezta saldu içan hirurehun dinerotan, eta eman paubrey?
“Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?”
6 Eta haur erran ceçan, ez paubrez harc ansiaric çuenez: baina ceren ohoin baitzen, eta mulsá baitzuen, eta eçarten ciradenac harc ekarten baitzituen.
He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
7 Erran ceçan bada Iesusec, Vtzi eçac, ene sepultura eguneco hori beguiratu dic.
“Leave her alone,” said Jesus, “so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
8 Ecen paubreac bethiere vkanen dituçue çuequin: baina ni eznauçue bethiere vkanen.
The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.”
9 Orduan eçagut ceçan Iuduetaric gendetze handic, ecen han cela: eta ethor citecen ez Iesusgatic solament, baina are Lazaro ikus leçatençat, cein harc hiletaric resuscitatu baitzuen.
Now great numbers of people found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Eta consulta ceçaten Sacrificadore principalec Lazaro-ere hil leçatençát.
The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
11 Ecen Iuduetaric anhitz haren causaz ioaiten ciraden, eta sinhesten çuten Iesus baithan.
because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
12 Biharamunean bestara ethorri içan cen gendetze handic, ençunic ecen Iesus ethorten cela Ierusalemera,
On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm branches,
13 Har citzaten palma adarrac, eta ilki cequizquion aitzinera, eta oihu eguiten çutén, Hosanna, Benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten den Israeleco reguea.
and went out to meet him, shouting as they went, “God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord – the king of Israel!”
14 Eta eriden ceçan Iesusec asto-vme arbat, eta iar cedin haren gainean, scribatua den beçala,
Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
15 Ezaicela beldur Siongo alabá: huná, hire Regue ethorten dun iarriric dagoela asto-vme ar-baten gainean.
‘Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.’
16 Eta gauça hauc etzitzaten eçagut haren discipuluéc lehenetic: baina Iesus glorificatu içan cenean, orduan orhoit citecen ecen gauça hauc harçaz scribatuac ciradela, eta hari gauça hauc eguin cerautzatela.
His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
17 Eta testificatzen çuen harequin cen gendetzeac, ecen Lazaro deithu çuela monumentetic, eta hura resuscitatu çuela hiletaric.
Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
18 Halacotz atzinera ethorri-ere içan çayón gendetzea, ecen ençun çuten, harc miraculu haur eguin çuela.
This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
19 Eta Phariseuéc erran ceçaten bere artean, Eztacussaçue ecen etzaretela deus probetchatzen? horrá, mundua haren ondoan ioan da.
So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!”
20 Eta baciraden Grec batzu igaiten ohi ciradenetaric adoratzera bestán:
Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
21 Hauc bada ethor citecen Philippegana cein baitzén Bethsaidaco Galilean, eta othoitz eguin cieçoten, cioitela, Iauna, nahi guendiquec Iesus ikussi.
who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 Ethorten da Philippe eta erraiten drauca Andriui, Andriuèc berriz eta Philippec erraiten draucate Iesusi.
Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
23 Eta Iesusec ihardets ciecén, cioela, Ethorri da ordua guiçonaren Semea glorificaturen baita.
This was his reply – “The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
24 Eguiaz eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, baldin ogui bihia lurrera eroriric hil ezpadadi, hura bera dago: baina baldin hil badadi fructu anhitz ekarten du.
In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
25 Bere viciari on daritzanac galduren du hura: eta bere viciari gaitz daritzanac mundu hunetan, vicitze eternalecotzat beguiraturen du hura. (aiōnios g166)
A person who loves their life loses it; while someone who hates their life in the present world will preserve it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Baldin ni cembeitec cerbitzatzen banau, niri iarreiqui bequit: eta non ni içanen bainaiz, han ene cerbitzaria-ere içanen da: eta baldin cembeitec ni cerbitza baneça, ohoraturen du hura ene Aitac.
If someone is ready to serve me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If a person is ready to serve me, my Father will honor them.
27 Orain ene arimá trublatua da: eta cer erranen dut? Aitá, empara neçac oren hunetaric: baina halacotz ethorri nauc oren hunetara.
Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour – yet it was for this reason that I came to this hour –
28 Aitá, glorifica eçac eure icena. Ethor cedin orduan vozbat cerutic, cioela, Eta glorificatu diat, eta berriz glorificaturen.
Father, honor your own name.” At this there came a voice from heaven, which said, “I have already honored it, and I will honor it again.”
29 Eta gendetze han cenac, eta ençun çuenac, cioen, igorciribat eguin çuela. Bercéc cioiten, Aingueruä minçatu içan çayo.
The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, “An angel has been speaking to him.”
30 Ihardets ceçan Iesusec eta erran, Ezta enegatic voz haur eguin içan, baina çuengatic.
“It was not for my sake that the voice came,” said Jesus, “but for yours.
31 Orain da mundu hunen iugemendua: orain mundu hunetaco princea egotziren da campora.
Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
32 Eta nic, baldin goititua banaiz lurretic, guciac tiraturen ditut neuregana.
and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 (Eta haur erraiten çuen, aditzera emaiten çuela cer herioz hil behar çuen)
By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
34 Ihardets cieçón gendetzeac, Guc ençun diagu Leguetic, ecen Christ badagoela eternalqui: eta nola hic erraiten duc ecen behar dela goiti dadin guiçonaren Semea? nor da guiçonarenSeme hori? (aiōn g165)
“We,” replied the people, “have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be ‘lifted up’ Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
35 Erran ciecén orduan Iesusec, Oraino dembora guti batetacotz Arguia çuequin da: ebil çaitezte Arguia duçueno, ilhumbeac ardiets etzaitzatençát: ecen ilhumbean dabilanac, eztaqui norat ioaiten den.
“Only a little while longer,” answered Jesus, “will you have the light among you. Travel on while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Arguia duçueno sinhets eçaçue. Arguia baithan, Arguiaren seme çaretençat. Gauça hauc erran citzan Iesusec: guero ioanic gorde cedin hetaric.
While you still have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of light.” After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
37 Eta hambat miraculu eguin baçuen-ere hayén aitzinean, etzuten sinhesten hura baithan:
But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
38 Esaias prophetaren hitza compli ledinçát, cein erran vkan baitu, Iauna, norc sinhetsi vkan du gure hitza, eta Iaunaren bessoa nori reuelatu içan çayo?
in fulfillment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, where he says – ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?’
39 Halacotz ecin sinhets ceçaqueten, ceren berriz erran baitu Esaiasec,
The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
40 Itsutu vkan ditu hayén beguiac, eta gogortu vkan du hayén bihotza: beguiz ikus ezteçatençat, eta bihotzez adi ez teçaten, eta conuerti ez titecen, eta senda ez titzadan.
‘He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn – And I should heal them.’
41 Gauça hauc erran citzan Esaiasec, haren gloriá ikussi çuenean, eta minçatu içan da harçaz.
Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
42 Badaric-ere principaletaric-ere anhitzec hura baithan sinhets ceçaten: baina Phariseuacgatic etzuten aithortzen, synagogatic campora egotz litecen beldurrez.
Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, because they were afraid that they should be expelled from their synagogues;
43 Ecen maiteago vkan dute guiçonén gloriá, ecen ez Iaincoaren gloriá.
for they valued honor from people more than honor from God.
44 Orduan oihu eguin ceçan Iesusec, eta erran ceçan, Ni baithan sinhesten duenac, eztu sinhesten ni baithan, baina ni igorri nauena baithan.
But Jesus had proclaimed, “He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
45 Eta ni ikusten nauenac, ikusten du ni igorri nauena.
and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ni Argui mundura ethorri naiz, ni baithan sinhesten duenic batre, ilhumbean eztagoençát
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
47 Eta baldin nehorc ençun baditza ene hitzac, eta ez sinhets, nic eztut condemnatzen hura: ecen eznaiz ethorri mundua condemna deçadançát, baina mundua salua deçadançat.
When anyone hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Ni iraizten nauenac, eta ez recebitzen ene hitzac, badu norc hura condemna deçan: ni minçatu naicen hitzac condemnaturen du hura azquen egunean,
He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already – the message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last day.
49 Ecen ni neure burutic eznaiz minçatu: baina ni igorri nauen Aitac berac manamendu eman draut, cer erran deçaquedan eta cer minça naiten.
For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
50 Eta badaquit ecen haren manamendua vicitze eternal dela: bada nic erraiten ditudan gauçác, nola Aitac eman baitrauzquit, hala erraiten ditut. (aiōnios g166)
And I know that eternal life lies in keeping his command. Therefore, whatever I say, I say only what the Father has taught me.” (aiōnios g166)
