John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Kwe alyale umuunhu jumonga akatambulwagha Lasali. Umwene palikimo na valumbu, uMaliya nu Malita vakikalagha mukikaaja ikya Betania. Umuunu uju alyale ntamu.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
UMaliya ujuo ghwe juno alyampakile u UMaliya ujuo, ulumbu ghwa Lasali juno alyale ntamu, ghwe juno alyampakile amafuta uMutwa uYesu mumaghulu, na kukumpulusia ni linyele lyake.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
Avalumbu avuo vakasuung'ha imhola kwa Yesu kuuti, Mutwa umanyani ghwako uLasali ntamu.”
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
UYesu ye apuliike imola ijio akati, “Inhamu ijio najikum'buda, looli jimwaghile kuuti avaanhu vavuvone uvuvaha vwa Nguluve, neke uMwana ghwa Nguluve aghinisivu kukilila inhamu ijio.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
UYesu alyamughanile uLasali palikimo na valumbu uMalita nu Maliya.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Neke ye apuliike kiuuti uLasali ntamu, umwene akajigho ifighono fivi ikalile kukuo.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
Pambele akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Tuvuuke tugomoke kukighavo ikya Yudea.”
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Avavulanisivu vakambuula vakati, “Ghwe mbulanisi, imihe pahapa aVayahudi valondagha pikukutova na mavue, uve ghulonda kange pigomoka ukuo?”
9 Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
UYesu akavamula akati, “Asi, imwisi najili ni fivalilo kijigho na fivili? Umuunhu angaghende pamwisi, naangakuvale ulwakuva ulumuli lukumulikila, ikufyagha fyoni.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
Neke angaghende pakilo ikuvala, ulwakuva nsila lumulinkate mwa mwene.”
11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
UYesu ye amalile kujova isio, akavavuula avavulanisivua vaake akati, “Ummanyaani ghwitu uLasali aghonelile, neke niluta kuuti ninsisimule.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Pe avavulanisivua vaake vakambuula vakati, “Ghwe Mutwa, nave aghonelile, isisimuka.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
UYesu alyale ijova imhola ija kufua kwa Lasali, neke avavulanisivua vaake valyale visaagha kuuti ijova imhola ija kughonelela itulo.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
Pe uYesu akavavuula pa vuvalafu akati, “ULasali afwile.”
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
Neke une nihovoka vwimila umue ulwakuva nakweniveele kula uLasali ye ifua, kuuti umue munyitikaghe. Lino tuvuuke kwa Lasali.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
Pe uTomasi juno itambulua, “Mung'hungu” akavavuula avavulanisivua avajaake akati, “Najusue tuvuuke, tulute tufue palikimo nu Yesu.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Unsiki uYesu ye ifika mu kikaaja ikya Betania, akavona uLasali ali ni fighono fine mu mbiipa.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
Ikikaaja ikya Betania kilyale piipi ni likaaja ilya Yelusalemu ikilomita itatu ndiiki.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Avaanhu vinga mu Vayahudi vakiisa kukuvahungila uMalita nu Maliya, ulwakuva valyafwile nu lumbu.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Pepano uMalita akapulika kuuti uYesu afiike, akaluta kukumwupilila neke uMaliya akajigha mu nyumba.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
Pe uMalita akam'buula uYesu akati, “Mutwa, pe usava, ulumbulyango ngale naafwile.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
Neke nambe lino nikagwile kuuti ungansuume uNguluve kimonga, ikukupeela.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
UYesu akam'buula akati, “Ulumbulio isyuka.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
UMalita akati, “Nikagwile kuuti ilisyuka ikighono ikya vusililo kino avaanhu vooni vilisyuka.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
UYesu akambuula akati, “Une nene nikuvasyusia avaanhu na kukuvapeela uvwumi. Juno ikunyitika une, nambe afue iiva mwumi;
ghwope umwumi, juno ikunyitika une, naangafue. Ghukwitika isio?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
UMalita akamwamula akati, “Eene Mutwa, nikwitika kuuti uve veeve Kilisite, Mwana ghwa Nguluve, juno veeve Twahulagha kuuti ghulikwisa mu iisi.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
UMalita ye ajovile isio, akaluta kukunkemeela unnuuna maliamu uMaliya akam'buula kuvuseyfu akati, “Um'bulanisi isile, ikukukemeela.” Pe uMaliya.
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
Umaliamu ye apulike isio, akavuuka ng'haaing'haani na kuluta kwa Yesu.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Unsiki ughuo uYesu alyakyale kukwingila mu kikaaja ikio, alyale pala pala pano uMalita akalutile kukumwambilila.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
Pepano aVayahudi vano valyale munyumba nu Maliamu palikimo na vaanhu vano vakalutile kukuvahungilila, ye vamwaghile ivuuka ng'haning'haani ihuma kunji, vakam'bingilila ulwakuva vakava visaagha kuuti iluta kulila kumbiipa.
32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
Pepano uMaliamu akafika pa Yesu, akafughama, akambuula akati, “Mutwa, peusava ulumbu lyango ngale naafwile.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
UYesu ye avwene ililia, vope vano vakaale vikum'bingilila vilila, akalemala na kupumuka mu mwojo ghwake;
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
akajova akati, “Mumughonisie kughi?” Vakamwamula vakati, “Ghwe Mutwa, ghwise ulole.”
35 Jesus wept.
UYesu akalila.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
Pepano avaYahudi vakajova vakati, “Lolagha vule akamughanile uLasalI!”
37 Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
Neke vamonga vakati, “Asi, uju naghwe juno akansosisie um'bofu amaaso, lino kiki naavombile kimonga kwa Lasali kuuti aleke pifua?”
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Pepano uYesu ye ajiighe ipumuka mu mwojo ghwake, akafika pa mbiipa. Imbiipa ijio, jilyabughulilue na kudindua ni livue ilikome.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
UYesu akavavuula akati, “Vusia ilivue ilio. “UMalita ulumbu ghwa Lasali umfue, akati, “Ghwe Mutwa, umbili ghuuva ghuvolile, ulwakuva fikilile ifighono fine kuhuma ifua.
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
UYesu akambuula akati, “Naniveele nikuvulile kuuti ungitike, ghukuvuvona uvuvaha vwa Nguluve?”
41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
Pe vakavusia ilivue lila. UYesu akalola kukyanya akati, “Ghwe Nhata, nikukuhongesia ulwakuva ghupulika inyifunyo sango.
42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
Nikagwile kuuti ghukumulika ifighono fyoni, neke nijova isi vwimila ilipugha lya vaanhu ava, neke viyike kuuti uve veeve usung'hile.”
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
UYesu ye ajovile isio, akalila fiijo akati, “Lasali huma kunji kuno!”
44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
Pe umfue, akuhuma kunji, amaghulu na mavoko ghaake ghaniengelilue ni sanda, kumaaso apinyilue ni kitambala. UYesu akavavuula akati, “Mumhudule, mumuleke alutaghe.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
Pepano aVayahudi vinga vano vakisile kukumhungila uMaliamu, ye vasivwene sino avombile uYesu, vakamwitika;
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
neke vamo mu veene vakaluta ku Vafalisayi kukuvavuula sino avombile uYesu.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Pe avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi vakakong'haana, vakaposania vakati, “Tuvombe kiki? Ulwakuva umuunhu uju ivomba ifidegho finga.
48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Nave tukumuleka anala mwene, avaanhu vooni kyande vikumwitika, aValooma vikwisa vitoola fyoni poope palyusue na ji iisi jiitu.
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
Pe umo muveene, juno akatambulwagha Kayafa, alyale ghwe ntekesi um'baha umwaka ughuo, akavavuula akati, “Umue namukagwile kimonga!
50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
Namusaagha kuuti vwimila umue, lunoghiile umuunhu jumo afue vwimila avaanhu vooni, neke iisi jooni jileke kutipulua.
51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Amasio gha ntekesi ujuo naghaale masaaghe ghaake. Ulweene ulwakuva alyale ntekesi m'baha umwaka ughuo, alyaviile kuuti uYesu ifua vwima iisi;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
nakwekuti ifua vwimila iisi jeene, looli u Yesu palikimo na kukuvakong'hania avaana va Nguluve vano vapalasiine neke vaave palikimo.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Kuhuma ikighono ikio, avalongosi va Vayahudi, vakatengula kulonda isila ija kum'buda uYesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
Mu uluo, uYesu akaleka kughenda pa vuvalafu ku Vayahudi. Pepano akavuuka pala akaluta ku kikaaja kimonga kino kikatambuluagha. Efulahimu. Ikikaaja ikio kilyale piipi ni lihaka, akikala ukuo palikimo na vavulanisivua vaake.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Ikyimike ikya Pasaka ija Vayahudi kilyale piipi. Avaanhu vinga kuhuma mu fikaaja vakaluta ku Yelusalemu kuuti vivalasie ye kikyale pifika ikyimike ikio.
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
Pe vakava vikumulonda uYesu. Ye vali mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, vakiima viposania viiti, “Mwiti ndaani, umuunhu uju, neke naikwesa ku kyimike?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
Unsiki ughu, avavaha va vatekesi na Vafalisayi valyavavuulile avaanhu kuuti, umuunhu ghweni angakagule pano pwale u Yesu, alutaghe kukuvavuula neke vankole.
