Yochanan 12
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Yeshua came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
Malatsi a le marataro pele ga meletlo ya Tlolaganyo e simologa, Jesu a goroga mo Bethania kwa Lasaro monna yo a mo rudisitseng a neng a le teng.
2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
Mme Jesu a baakanyediwa modiro wa tlotlo teng. Maratha a ba tsholela mme Lasaro ene a nna le bone kwa lomating lwa bojelo (tafole).
3 Therefore Miriam took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Yeshua’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Mme Marea a tsaya setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo se dirilwe ka dinkgisamonate a tlotsa dinao tsa ga Jesu ka sone, a bo a di phimola ka moriri wa gagwe. Mme ntlo ya tlala monkgo o o monate wa setlolo.
4 Then Judah Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
Mme Judase Isekariota, mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, ene yo o tlaa mo okang, a re,
5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
“Setlolo seo se ne se lekanye madi a mantsi. Se ka bo se rekisitswe mme madi a sone a abelwa bahumanegi.”
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
E ne e se gore ka go bua jalo o gopotse go tlhokomela bahumanegi, gonne o ne a le mmei wa madi a barutwa mme o ne a tle a a utswe a a dirise mo ditirong tsa gagwe!
7 But Yeshua said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Mo tlogele. O dirile jalo e le paakanyetso ya phitlho ya me.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
Lo ka aga lo thusa bahumanegi, mme nna ga ke na go nna le lona ka lobaka lo loleele.”
9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learnt that he was there; and they came, not for Yeshua’s sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Erile fa ba e leng batho fela ba Jerusalema ba utlwalela ka kgorogo ya gagwe ba itlhaganela ka bontsintsi go ya go mmona le go bona Lasaro, monna yo o rudileng.
10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
Mme ditlhogo tsa baperesiti tsa ikaelela go bolaya le Lasaro,
11 because on account of him many of the Judeans went away and believed in Yeshua.
gonne e ne e le ka ntlha ya ga Lasaro gore baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba tlogele Sejuta ba dumele mo go Jesu e le Mesia wa bone.
12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Yeshua was coming to Jerusalem,
Letsatsi le le latelang, dikgang tse di reng Jesu o mo tseleng ya Jerusalema tsa anama mo motseng, mme bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa baeti ba Tlolaganyo,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hoshia'na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
jwa tsaya dikala tsa makolane mme jwa fologela mo tseleng go mo kgatlhantsha ba goa ba re, “Mmoloki! Modimo segofatsa Kgosi ya Iseraele! A go bakwe moemedi wa Modimo!”
14 Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
Jesu a tsamaya a palame tonkana, a diragatsa seporofeso se se reng
15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
“Se boifeng Kgosi ya lona, batho ba Iseraele, gonne e tlaa tla kwa go lona ka boingotlo, e palame tonkana!”
16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Yeshua was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
(Barutwa ba gagwe ba seka ba lemoga ka nako eo gore se e ne e le tiragatso ya seporofeso; mme morago ga Jesu a boela kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong, ba simolola go lemoga gore go setse go diragetse diporofeso di le kae tsa lokwalo mo matlhong a bone).
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
Mme ba ba mo bontsintsing joo ba ba neng ba bonye Jesu a tsosa Lasaro mo baswing ba ne ba bolela gotlhe ka gone.
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
Ke sone se batho ba le bantsi ba neng ba ya go mo kgatlhantsha, gonne ba ne ba utlwile kgakgamatso e tona eo.
19 The Pharisees therefore said amongst themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
Mme Bafarasai ba raana ba re, “Re fentswe. Bonang, lefatshe lotlhe le mo setse morago!”
20 Now there were certain Greeks amongst those who went up to worship at the feast.
Bagerika bangwe ba ba neng ba tsile mo Jerusalema go obama mo Tlolaganyong,
21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Yeshua.”
ba etela Filipo yo a neng a tswa Bethesaida, mme ba feta ba re, “Rara, re batla go rakana le Jesu.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Yeshua.
Filipo a bolelela Anderea ka gone, mme ba tsamaya botlhe go kopa Jesu.
23 Yeshua answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Jesu a ba fetola ka gore nako e mo gorogetse ya go boela kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong, le gore, “Ke tshwanetse go wa ka swa jaaka tlhaka ya mabele e e welang mo mmung wa boleme. Fa ke sa swe, ke tlaa nna ke le nosi, peo e e yosi. Mme loso lwa me lo tlaa tlhogisa ditlhaka tsa mabele di le dintsi, thobo e kgolo ya matshelo a masha.
24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Fa lo rata botshelo jwa lona mono lefatsheng, bo tlaa lo latlhegela. Mme fa lo nyatsa botshelo jwa lona mono lefatsheng, o tlaa bo ananya ka kgalalelo ya bosakhutleng. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honour him.
“Fa e le gore Bagerika ba, ba batla go nna barutwa ba me, ba boleleleng gore ba tle ba ntshale morago, gonne batlhanka ba me ba tshwanetse go nna kwa ke teng. Mme fa ba ntshala morago, Rara o tlaa ba tlotla
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
Jaanong mowa wa me o tshwenyegile thata. A nka rapela ka re, ‘Rara, mpoloka mo go se se nkemeng pele?’ Mme ke lone lebaka le ke le tletseng!
28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
Rara, galaletsa leina la gago o bo o le tlotle.” Mme ga bua lentswe le tswa kwa legodimong le re, “Ke setse ke dirile jalo, mme ke tlaa dira jalo gape.”
29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
Erile fa bontsintsi jwa batho bo utlwa lentswe, bangwe ba bone ba gopola gore ke tladi, fa ba bangwe bone ba re ke moengele o buile nae.
30 Yeshua answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Lentswe leo ga le a tla ka ntlha ya me, mme e leng ka ntlha ya lona.
31 Now is the judgement of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Lobaka lwa katlholo ya lefatshe lo gorogile, le nako ya fa Satane, Kgosana ya lefatshe leno a tlaa kgoromelediwang ntle.
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
Mme fa ke tsholediwa (mo mokgorong) ke tlaa gogela mongwe le mongwe kwa go nna?”
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
O ne a bua jaana go supa ka fa o tlaa swang ka teng.
34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
Bontsintsi jwa botsa jwa re, “Go swa? Re utlwile gore Mesia o tlaa tshela ka bosakhutleng mme ga a kitla a a swa. Ke eng fa o re o tlaa swa? O bua kaga. Mesia ofe?” (aiōn g165)
35 Yeshua therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Lesedi la me le tlaa lo phatsimela ka lobakanyana. Tsamayang mo go lone lo sa ntse lo ka kgona, mme lo ye kwa lo batlang go ya teng pele ga lefifi le tla, gonne ka nako eo lobaka lo tlaa bo lo setse lo fetile thata gore lo bone tsela ya lona.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Yeshua said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
Dirisang Lesedi nako e sa le teng; ka go dira jalo lo tlaa nna batsamaisi ba lesedi.” Morago ga a bua dilo tse, Jesu a tsamaya mme a ba iphitlhetse.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
Mme le fa a ne a dirile dikgakgamatso tse tsotlhe, batho ba le bantsi ba ne ba sa dumele gore ke Mesia.
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Ke sone tota se Isaia o se porofetileng a re: “Morena, re tlaa dumelwa ke mang? E mang yo o tlaa tsayang dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo tse di tona e le bosupi?”
39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
Mme ba ne ba seka ba dumela, fela jaaka Isaia le ene a ne a rile:
40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
“Modimo o foufaditse matlho a bone o bile o thatafaditse dipelo tsa bone gore ba seka ba bona le fa e le go tlhaloganya e se re kgotsa ba sokologela kwa go nna gore ke ba fodise.”
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Isaia o ne a raya Jesu fa a porofeta jaana, gonne o ne a bonye ponatshego ya kgalalelo ya ga Mesia.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
Le fa go ntse jalo, le baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ne ba dumela mo go ene gore ke Mesia mme legale ba ne ba sa dumele fa ba na le batho ka ntlha ya go tshaba go kgaolwa ke Bafarasai mo tlung ya ga Jehofa;
43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
gonne ba ne ba rata kgalaletso ya batho bogolo go kgalaletso ya Modimo.
44 Yeshua cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
Mme Jesu a goela kwa bontsintsing a re, “Fa lo ntumela lo dumela Modimo.
45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
Gonne fa lo mpona, lo bona ene yo o nthomileng.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
Ke tsile ke le Lesedi go phatsima mo lefatsheng leno le le lefifi gore botlhe ba ba dumelang mo go nna ba seka ba tlhola ba tsamaya mo lefifing.
47 If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Mme le fa e le mang yo o nkutlwang mme a sa nkobamele, ga ke moatlhodi wa gagwe, gonne ke tletse go boloka lefatshe eseng go le atlhola.
48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
Mme botlhe ba ba nkganang le molaetsa wa me, ba tlaa atlholwa ka Letsatsi la Katlholo ka mafoko a boammaaruri a ke a buileng.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
Gonne se ga se tlhaloganyo ya me, mme ke lo boleletse se Rara a rileng ke se lo bolelele.
