Johannes 12
1 Kuus päeva enne paasapüha läks Jeesus Betaaniasse Laatsaruse juurde, kes oli surnuist üles äratatud.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
2 Seal korraldati tema auks pidusöök. Marta aitas toitu serveerida, samal ajal istus Laatsarus koos Jeesuse ja teiste külalistega laua ääres.
There a supper was given in his honour at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
3 Maarja tõi umbes pool liitrit puhast nardiõli, võidis Jeesuse jalgu ja kuivatas neid oma juustega. Parfüümi lõhn täitis kogu maja.
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 Aga üks jüngritest, Juudas Iskariot, kes hiljem Jeesuse ära andis, küsis:
One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
5 „Miks ei müüdud seda parfüümi ära ega antud raha vaestele? See oli väärt kolmsada denaari.“
‘Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?’
6 Ta ei öelnud seda sellepärast, et ta hoolis vaestest, vaid sellepärast, et ta oli varas. Tema oli see, kes hoolitses jüngrite raha eest ja ta võttis sageli sellest endale.
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 „Ärge arvustage teda, “vastas Jeesus. „Ta tegi seda minu matusepäevaks valmistudes.
‘Leave her alone,’ said Jesus, ‘so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
8 Vaeseid on teie juures alati, kuid mind ei ole siin alati.“
The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.’
9 Suur hulk juute oli avastanud, et ta on seal. Nad tulid sinna mitte ainult Jeesust vaatama, vaid nad tahtsid näha ka Laatsarust, meest, kelle Jeesus oli surnuist üles äratanud.
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 Niisiis kavatsesid ülempreestrid tappa ka Laatsaruse,
The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
11 kuna tema pärast ei järginud nii paljud enam juudi juhte, vaid hakkasid Jeesusesse uskuma.
because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
12 Järgmisel päeval kuulsid paasapühale tulnud rahvahulgad, et Jeesus on teel Jeruusalemma.
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 Nad lõikasid palmioksi ja läksid teda tervitama, hüüdes: „Hosanna! Õnnistatud on see, kes tuleb Issanda nimel. Õnnistatud on Iisraeli kuningas.“
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 Jeesus leidis noore eesli ja ratsutas selle seljas, nagu öeldakse Pühakirjas:
Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
15 „Ära karda, Siioni tütar. Vaata, su kuningas tuleb, ratsutab eeslisälu seljas.“
“Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.”
16 Sel ajal Jeesuse jüngrid ei mõistnud, mida need asjad tähendavad. Alles pärast tema ülendamist nad mõistsid, et juhtunu oli prohvetite poolt ette kuulutatud ja käis tema kohta.
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 Paljud rahva seast olid näinud, kuidas Jeesus kutsus Laatsaruse hauast välja ja äratas ta surnuist üles ning nad jutustasid seda lugu.
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 See oli põhjus, miks nii paljud läksid Jeesusega kohtuma − sest nad olid kuulnud sellest imeteost.
This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
19 Variserid ütlesid üksteisele: „Vaadake, me ei jõua kuhugi. Kõik jooksevad tema järel.“
So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!’
20 Ka mõned kreeklased olid tulnud pühadele Jumalat teenima.
Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
21 Nad tulid Galilea Betsaidast pärit Filippuse juurde ja ütlesid: „Isand, me tahaksime Jeesust näha.“
who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’
22 Filippus läks ja rääkis Andreasele. Siis läksid nad koos Jeesuse juurde ja rääkisid talle.
Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
23 Jeesus vastas: „Inimese Pojal on tulnud aeg, et ta saaks austatud.
This was his reply – ‘The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
24 Ma räägin teile tõtt: kui nisutera ei külvata mulda ja ta ei sure, jääb ta lihtsalt üheks teraks. Aga kui ta sureb, annab ta veel palju nisuteri.
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 Kui te armastate oma elu, siis te kaotate selle, aga kui te ei armasta oma elu selles maailmas, siis hoiate oma elu igavesti. (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 Kui tahate mind teenida, peate mind järgima. Minu teenijad on seal, kus olen mina, ja mu Isa austab igaüht, kes mind teenib.
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 Nüüd olen ma murelik. Mida peaksin ütlema? „Isa, säästa mind sellest tulevasest kannatuste ajast?“Ei, sest sellepärast ma tulingi − et minna läbi selle kannatuste aja.
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 Isa, näita mulle oma iseloomu au.“Taevast kostis hääl, mis ütles: „Ma olen juba selle au näidanud ja näitan seda veel.“
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 Rahvas, kes seal seisis, kuulis seda. Mõned ütlesid, et see oli kõuemürin, teised ütlesid, et ingel rääkis temaga.
The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, ‘An angel has been speaking to him.’
30 Jeesus ütles neile: „See hääl ei kõnelenud minu, vaid teie pärast.
‘It was not for my sake that the voice came,’ said Jesus, ‘but for yours.
31 Nüüd on selle maailma kohus; nüüd heidetakse selle maailma vürst välja.
Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
32 Aga kui mind maa pealt üles tõstetakse, tõmban ma kõik enda juurde.“
and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.’
33 (Ta ütles seda, et viidata, missugust surma pidi ta surema.)
By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
34 Rahvas vastas: „Seadus ütleb, et Messias elab igavesti, kuidas sa saad siis öelda, et inimese Poeg „tõstetakse üles“? Kes on „inimese Poeg“?“ (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 Jeesus vastas: „Valgus on siin teie juures veidi aega. Kõndige, kuni teil on valgus, et pimedus ei tabaks teid ootamatult. Need, kes kõnnivad pimeduses, ei tea, kuhu nad lähevad.
‘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 Uskuge valgusesse, kuni see teil on, et te saaksite valguse lasteks.“Kui Jeesus oli neile seda öelnud, siis ta lahkus ja peitis end nende eest.
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 Aga hoolimata kõigist imetegudest, mida Jeesus oli nende juuresolekul teinud, ei uskunud nad ikkagi Jeesusesse.
But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
38 Nii läks täide prohvet Jesaja sõnum: „Issand, kes on uskunud seda, mida neile rääkisime? Kellele on Issanda vägi ilmutatud?“
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 Nad ei suutnud temasse uskuda ja nii täitsid nad selle, mida Jesaja on veel öelnud:
The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
40 „Ta pimestas nende silmad ja tegi nende mõistuse nüriks, et nende silmad ei näeks ja mõistus ei mõtleks ja nad ei pöörduks minu poole, sest kui nad seda teeksid, siis ma tervendaksin nad.“
“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 Jesaja nägi Jeesuse au ja ütles seda temale viidates.
Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
42 Isegi palju juhte uskus temasse. Kuid nad ei tunnistanud seda avalikult, sest ei tahtnud, et variserid nad sünagoogist välja heidaks,
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 sest nad armastasid inimeste imetlust rohkem kui Jumala heakskiitu.
for they valued honour from people more than honour from God.
44 Jeesus hüüdis: „Kui te usute minusse, siis ei usu te ainult minusse, vaid ka temasse, kes mu läkitas.
But Jesus had proclaimed, ‘He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
45 Kui te näete mind, näete teda, kes mu läkitas.
and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ma olen tulnud nagu valgus, mis paistab maailmas, nii et kui usute minusse, ei jää te pimedusse.
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
47 Ma ei mõista kohut kellegi üle, kes kuuleb mu sõnu, kuid ei tee nende järgi. Ma tulin maailma päästma, mitte selle üle kohut mõistma.
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 Kes mu tagasi lükkab ja kes ei võta mu sõnu vastu, selle üle mõistetakse kohut lõpuaja kohtus vastavalt sellele, mida ma olen öelnud.
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 Sest ma ei räägi enda nimel, vaid Isa nimel, kes mu läkitas. Tema on see, kes õpetab mind, mida ja kuidas öelda.
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.
