Iohannem 11
1 Erat autem quidem languens Lazarus a Bethania, de castello Mariæ, et Marthæ sororis eius.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 (Maria autem erat, quæ unxit Dominum unguento, et extersit pedes eius capillis suis: cuius frater Lazarus infirmabatur.)
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
3 Miserunt ergo sorores eius ad eum dicentes: Domine, ecce quem amas infirmatur.
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
4 Audiens autem Iesus dixit eis: Infirmitas hæc non est ad mortem, sed pro gloria Dei, ut glorificetur Filius Dei per eam.
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."
5 Diligebat autem Iesus Martham, et sororem eius Mariam, et Lazarum.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Ut ergo audivit quia infirmabatur, tunc quidem mansit in eodem loco duobus diebus.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Deinde post hæc dixit discipulis suis: Eamus in Iudæam iterum.
Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
8 Dicunt ei discipuli: Rabbi, nunc quærebant te Iudæi lapidare, et iterum vadis illuc?
The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Respondit Iesus: Nonne duodecim sunt horæ diei? Si quis ambulaverit in die, non offendit, quia lucem huius mundi videt:
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 si autem ambulaverit in nocte, offendit, quia lux non est in eo.
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11 Hæc ait, et post hæc dixit eis: Lazarus amicus noster dormit: sed vado ut a somno excitem eum.
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."
12 Dixerunt ergo discipuli eius: Domine, si dormit, salvus erit.
Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13 Dixerat autem Iesus de morte eius: illi autem putaverunt quia de dormitione somni diceret.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Tunc ergo Iesus dixit eis manifeste: Lazarus mortuus est:
So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
15 et gaudeo propter vos, ut credatis, quoniam non eram ibi. Sed eamus ad eum.
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
16 Dixit ergo Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, ad condiscipulos: Eamus et nos, ut moriamur cum eo.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
17 Venit itaque Iesus: et invenit eum quattuor dies iam in monumento habentem.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 (Erat autem Bethania iuxta Ierosolymam quasi stadiis quindecim.)
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
19 Multi autem ex Iudæis venerant ad Martham, et Mariam, ut consolarentur eas de fratre suo.
Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Martha ergo ut audivit quia Iesus venit, occurrit illi: Maria autem domi sedebat.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Dixit ergo Martha ad Iesum: Domine, si fuisses hic, frater meus non fuisset mortuus:
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Sed et nunc scio quia quæcumque poposceris a Deo, dabit tibi Deus.
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Dicit illi Iesus: Resurget frater tuus.
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Dicit ei Martha: Scio quia resurget in resurrectione in novissimo die.
Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25 Dixit ei Iesus: Ego sum resurrectio, et vita: qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet:
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Ait illi: Utique Domine, ego credidi, quia tu es Christus Filius Dei vivi, qui in hunc mundum venisti.
She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."
28 Et cum hæc dixisset, abiit, et vocavit Mariam sororem suam silentio, dicens: Magister adest, et vocat te.
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
29 Illa ut audivit, surgit cito, et venit ad eum:
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
30 nondum enim venerat Iesus in castellum: sed erat adhuc in illo loco, ubi occurrerat ei Martha.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
31 Iudæi ergo, qui erant cum ea in domo, et consolabantur eam, cum vidissent Mariam quia cito surrexit, et exiit, secuti sunt eam dicentes: Quia vadit ad monumentum, ut ploret ibi.
Then the Judeans 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, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Maria ergo, cum venisset ubi erat Iesus, videns eum, cecidit ad pedes eius, et dicit ei: Domine, si fuisses hic, non esset mortuus frater meus.
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 would not have died."
33 Iesus ergo, ut vidit eam plorantem, et Iudæos, qui venerant cum ea, plorantes, infremuit spiritu, et turbavit seipsum,
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 et dixit: Ubi posuistis eum? Dicunt ei: Domine, veni, et vide.
and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Et lacrymatus est Iesus.
Jesus wept.
36 Dixerunt ergo Iudæi: Ecce quomodo amabat eum.
The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
37 Quidam autem ex ipsis dixerunt: Non poterat hic, qui aperuit oculos cæci nati, facere ut hic non moreretur?
But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
38 Iesus ergo rursum fremens in semetipso, venit ad monumentum. Erat autem spelunca: et lapis superpositus erat ei.
So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Ait Iesus: Tollite lapidem. Dicit ei Martha soror eius, qui mortuus fuerat: Domine, iam fœtet, quatriduanus est enim.
Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
40 Dicit ei Iesus: Nonne dixi tibi quoniam si credideris, videbis gloriam Dei?
Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
41 Tulerunt ergo lapidem: Iesus autem elevatis sursum oculis, dixit: Pater gratias ago tibi quoniam audisti me.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Ego autem sciebam quia semper me audis, sed propter populum, qui circumstat, dixi: ut credant quia tu me misisti.
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 Hæc cum dixisset, voce magna clamavit: Lazare veni foras.
When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 Et statim prodiit qui fuerat mortuus, ligatus pedes, et manus institis, et facies illius sudario erat ligata. Dixit eis Iesus: Solvite eum, et sinite abire.
The man who had died 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."
45 Multi ergo ex Iudæis, qui venerant ad Mariam, et Martham, et viderant quæ fecit Iesus, crediderunt in eum.
Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
46 Quidam autem ex ipsis abierunt ad Pharisæos, et dixerunt eis quæ fecit Iesus.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Collegerunt ergo Pontifices et Pharisæi concilium, et dicebant: Quid faciamus, quia hic homo multa signa facit?
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Si dimittimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum: et venient Romani, et tollent nostrum locum, et gentem.
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."
49 Unus autem ex ipsis Caiphas nomine, cum esset Pontifex anni illius, dixit eis: Vos nescitis quidquam,
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50 nec cogitatis quia expedit vobis ut unus moriatur homo pro populo, et non tota gens pereat.
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
51 Hoc autem a semetipso non dixit: sed cum esset Pontifex anni illius, prophetavit, quod Iesus moriturus erat pro gente,
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 et non tantum pro gente, sed ut filios Dei, qui erant dispersi, congregaret in unum.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Ab illo ergo die cogitaverunt ut interficerent eum.
So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
54 Iesus ergo iam non in palam ambulabat apud Iudæos, sed abiit in regionem iuxta desertum, in civitatem, quæ dicitur Ephrem, et ibi morabatur cum discipulis suis.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and stayed there with his disciples.
55 Proximum autem erat Pascha Iudæorum: et ascenderunt multi Ierosolymam de regione ante Pascha, ut sanctificarent se ipsos.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Quærebant ergo Iesum: et colloquebantur ad invicem, in templo stantes: Quid putatis, quia non venit ad diem festum?
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?"
57 Dederant autem Pontifices, et Pharisæi mandatum, ut si quis cognoverit ubi sit, indicet, ut apprehendant eum.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.
