Juan 12
1 Unom ka adlaw sa wala pa ang Pasko, si Jesus miabut sa Betania, diin didto si Lazaro, ang gibanhaw ni Jesus gikan sa mga patay.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
2 Ug didto gidalitan siya nilag panihapon. Si Marta mao ang nagsilbi, apan si Lazaro usa sa mga mitambong sa kan-anan uban kaniya.
There a supper was given in his honour at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
3 Ug si Maria mikuhag tunga sa kilo nga bilihong pahumot nga lunsayng nardo, ug iyang gihaplasan niini si Jesus diha sa mga tiil, ug iyang gipahiran kini sa iyang mga buhok; ug ang balay nalukop sa kaamyon sa pahumot.
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 Apan si Judas Iscariote nga usa sa iyang mga tinun-an (nga mao gani ang magbudhi kaniya), miingon,
One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
5 "Ngano nga kining pahumot wala man hinoon ibaligyag tulo ka gatus ka denario, ug ang halin ihatag sa mga kabus?"
‘Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?’
6 Kini gisulti niya, dili tungod kay siya may kahangawa alang sa mga kabus, kondili tungod kay siya kawatan man; ug kay siya mao man ang magtitipig sa panudlanan sa kuwarta, ang igasulod niini iyang pagakapnan.
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 Ug si Jesus miingon, "Pasagdi ninyo siya, pabuhata siya niini alang sa adlaw sa paglubong kanako.
‘Leave her alone,’ said Jesus, ‘so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
8 Kay ang mga kabus kanunayng anaa kaninyo, apan ako dili kanunayng ania kaninyo."
The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.’
9 Ug sa pagkasayud sa dakung panon sa mga Judio nga didto diay si Jesus, sila nangadto dili lamang tungod kaniya kondili usab aron sa pagtan-aw kang Lazaro, ang iyang gibanhaw gikan sa mga patay.
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 Tungod niini gipanagsabutan sa mga sacerdote nga punoan ang pagpatay usab kang Lazaro,
The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
11 kay tungod kaniya daghan sa mga Judio mipahilayo kanila ug misalig kang Jesus.
because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
12 Ug sa pagkasunod nga adlaw, ang dakung panon sa katawhan nga nangabut sa pagpamiesta, sa pagkadungog nila nga si Jesus moabut sa Jerusalem,
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 nanguhag mga palwa sa palmera ug nangadto sila ug gisugat siya nila nga nanagsinggit, "Hosanna!" Dalaygon ang nagaanhi sa ngalan sa Ginoo Dalaygon ang Hari sa Israel!"
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 Ug si Jesus nakakaplag ug usa ka nating asno, ug siya mikabayo niini, sumala sa nahisulat,
Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
15 "Ayaw kahadlok, babayeng anak nga Sion; tan-awa, nagaanhi ang imong hari, nga nagakabayo sa nati sa asna!"
“Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.”
16 Sa sinugdan ang iyang mga tinun-an wala makasabut niini; apan sa diha nga gihimaya na si Jesus, nan, nahinumdom na sila nga kini nahisulat man tuod mahitungod kaniya ug nga nahitabo, kini ngadto kaniya.
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 Ug nanaghimog panghimatuod ang panon sa katawhan, sila nga didto uban kaniya sa iyang pagtawag kang Lazaro sa paggula gikan sa lubong ug sa pagbanhaw kaniya gikan sa mga patay.
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 Mao man gani nga ang panon sa katawhan miadto sa pagsugat kaniya kay nakadungog man sila nga nakahimo siya sa maong milagro,
This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
19 Tungod niini ang mga Fariseo nasig-ingon ang usa sa usa, "Nakita ninyo nga wala na gayud kamoy arang mahimo! Tan-awa, ang tibuok kalibutan nagasunod na kaniya!"
So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!’
20 Ug dihay pipila ka mga Gresyanhon sa mga nanungas aron sa pagsimba didto sa fiesta.
Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
21 Kini sila miduol kang Felipe, nga taga-Betsaida sa Galilea, ug siya ilang gihangyo nga nanag-ingon, "Senyor, makigkita unta kami kang Jesus."
who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’
22 Si Felipe miadto ug iyang gisuginlan si Andres, ug si Andres miadto uban kang Felipe ug ilang gisuginlan si Jesus.
Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
23 Ug si Jesus mitubag kanila, "Ang takna nahiabut na nga pagahimayaon na ang Anak sa Tawo.
This was his reply – ‘The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
24 Sa pagkatinuod, sa pagkatinuod, magaingon ako kaninyo, nga ang usa ka lugas trigo kinahanglan mahulog sa yuta ug mamatay, kay kon dili man, nan, magapabilin kini nga mag-inusara. Apan kon kini mamatay, nan, mamunga kinig daghan.
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 Ang mahigugma sa iyang kinabuhi mawad-an hinoon niini; apan ang magadumot sa iyang kinabuhi niining kalibutana, magapatunhay niini alang sa kinabuhing dayon, (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 Kon kinsa ang moalagad kanako, kinahanglan magasunod siya kanako; ug diin gani ako, ang akong alagad atua usab didto. Kon kinsa ang moalagad kanako, ang Amahan magapasidungog kaniya.
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 honour them.
27 "Ug karon naguol ang akong kalag. Ug unsa may akong igaingon? Moingon ba ako, `Amahan, luwasa ako gikan niining taknaa"? Dili, kay alang niining maong tuyo nahiabot ako niining taknaa.
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 Amahan, pasidunggi ang imong kaugalingong ngalan." Unya miabut gikan sa langit ang usa ka tingog nga nag-ingon, "Gipasidunggan ko na kini, ug pagapasidunggan ko kini pag-usab."
Father, honour your own name.’ At this there came a voice from heaven, which said, ‘I have already honoured it, and I will honour it again.’
29 Ang mga tawo nga nanag-alirong nakadungog sa tingog, ug sila miingon nga kadto dalogdog. Ang uban nanag-ingon, "Dihay manolunda nga misulti kaniya."
The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, ‘An angel has been speaking to him.’
30 Ug si Jesus mitubag nga nag-ingon, "Kining tingoga miabut tungod kaninyo, dili tungod kanako.
‘It was not for my sake that the voice came,’ said Jesus, ‘but for yours.
31 Ug karon mao na ang paghukom niining kalibutana, karon palagputon na ang punoan niining kalibutana.
Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
32 Ug ako, sa ikaisa na ako gikan sa yuta, magakabig sa tanang tawo nganhi kanako."
and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.’
33 Kini gisulti niya aron sa pagpasabut sa paagi sa kamatayon nga iyang pagakamatyan.
By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
34 Ug ang panon sa katawhan mitubag kaniya, "Nakadungog kami gikan sa kasugoan nga ang Cristo molungtad hangtud sa kahangturan. Busa unsaon mo man sa pagpakaingon nga kinahanglan igaisa ang Anak sa Tawo? Kinsa man kining Anak sa Tawo?" (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 Si Jesus miingon kanila, "Ang kahayag anaa uban pa kaninyo sa hamubo nga panahon. Panglakaw kamo samtang anaa pa kaninyo ang kahayag, kay tingali unyag hiapsan kamo sa kangitngit. Siya nga magalakaw sa kangitngit dili mahibalo kon asa siya padulong.
‘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 Samtang anaa pa kaninyo ang kahayag, sumalig kamo sa kahayag, aron mahimo kamong mga tawo nga may kahayag."
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 Bisan tuod daghan ang mga milagro nga iyang nahimo sa ilang atubangan, ngani wala sila mosalig kaniya;
But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
38 aron matuman ang pulong nga gisulti ni Isaias nga profeta, nga nag-ingon: Ginoo, kinsa ba ang nakatoo sa ilang nadungog gikan kanamo, ug kang kinsa ba gikapadayag ang bukton sa Ginoo?"
in fulfilment 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 Busa wala sila makatoo, kay si Isaias miusab man sa pagsulti nga nag-ingon,
The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
40 "Iyang gibutaan ang ilang mga mata ug gipagahi ang ilang kasingkasing, aron dili sila makakita pinaagi sa ilang mga mata, ni makasabut pinaagi sa ilang kasingkasing, ni managpamalik kanako aron pagaayohon ko sila."
“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 Kini gipamulong ni Isaias tungod kay nakita man niya ang himaya ni Cristo ug misulti siya mahitungod kaniya.
Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
42 Walay sapayan niini, bisan gani sa mga punoan, daghan kanila ang misalig kaniya, apan tungod sa mga Fariseo kini wala nila itug-an, sa kahadlok nga tingali unyag palagputon sila gikan sa sinagoga.
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 Kay labi pa man ugod nilang gihigugma ang pagdalayeg gikan sa mga tawo kay sa pagdalayeg gikan sa Dios.
for they valued honour from people more than honour from God.
44 Ug si Jesus misinggit ug miingon, "Siya nga mosalig kanako magasalig dili kanako kondili kaniya nga mao ang nagpadala kanako.
But Jesus had proclaimed, ‘He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
45 Ug siya nga makakita kanako makakita kaniya nga mao ang nagpadala kanako.
and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ingon nga kahayag mianhi ako sa kalibutan aron ang tanang mosalig kanako dili na magpabilin sa kangitngit.
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
47 Kon kinsa ang magapatalinghug sa akong mga sulti ug dili magatuman niini, ako dili magahukom kaniya; kay ako wala man moanhi aron sa paghukom sa kalibutan, kondili aron sa pagluwas sa kalibutan.
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 Ang magasalikway kanako ug dili modawat sa akong mga sulti, siya adunay maghuhukom. Ang pulong nga akong gikasulti mao unya ang magahukom kaniya sa kaulahian nga adlaw.
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 Kay ako wala magsulti sa kaugalingon kong pagbulot-an, hinonoa ang Amahan nga mao ang nagpadala kanako, siya gayud mao ang naghatag kanakog sugo kon unsa ang akong igaingon ug unsa ang akong igasulti.
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 Ug ako nahibalo nga ang kahulogan sa iyang sugo mao ang kinabuhing dayon. Busa, bisan unsay igasulti ko, ginasulti ko kini sumala sa gisugo kanako sa Amahan." (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)
