Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 11
1 Un tur viens gulēja nevesels, Lāzarus vārdā, Betanijā, Marijas un viņas māsas Martas miestā.
Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (Bet šī bija tā Marija, kas To Kungu ar zālēm bija svaidījusi un Viņa kājas ar saviem matiem nožāvējusi; tai brālis Lāzarus gulēja nevesels.)
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Tad tās māsas sūtīja pie Viņa un sacīja: “Kungs, redzi, ko Tu mīļo, tas guļ nevesels.”
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – “Master, your friend is ill”;
4 Un Jēzus to dzirdējis sacīja: “Šī neveselība nav uz miršanu, bet Dievam par godu, lai Dieva Dēls caur to top pagodināts.”
and, when Jesus heard it, he said, ‘This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honour of God, in order that the Son of God may be honoured through it.’
5 Bet Jēzus mīlēja to Martu un viņas māsu un to Lāzaru.
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Kad nu Viņš bija dzirdējis, to esam neveselu, tad Viņš vēl divas dienas palika tai vietā, kur Viņš bija.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Pēc tam Viņš saka uz Saviem mācekļiem: “Ejam atkal uz Jūdeju.”
Then, after that, he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go to Judea again.’
8 Tie mācekļi uz Viņu saka: “Rabbi, tie Jūdi nesen Tevi meklēja ar akmeņiem nomētāt, un Tu atkal noej uz turieni?”
‘Rabbi,’ they replied, ‘the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?’
9 Jēzus atbildēja: “Vai dienai nav divpadsmit stundas? Ja kas staigā dienā, tas nepiedauzās; jo tas redz šīs pasaules gaismu.
‘Are not there twelve hours in the day?’ answered Jesus. ‘If someone walks about in the daytime, they don’t stumble, because they can see the light of the sun;
10 Bet ja kas staigā naktī, tas piedauzās; jo iekš tā gaismas nav.”
but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.’
11 To Viņš sacīja, un pēc tam Viņš uz tiem saka: “Lāzarus, mūsu draugs, ir aizmidzis, bet Es eju, viņu uzmodināt.”
And, when he had said this, he added, ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may wake him.’
12 Tad Viņa mācekļi sacīja: “Kungs, kad viņš aizmidzis, tad viņš taps vesels.”
‘If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,’ said the disciples.
13 Bet Jēzus bija runājis par viņa nāvi; un tiem šķita, ka viņš runājot par aizmigšanu miegā.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 Tad Jēzus uz tiem skaidri sacīja: “Lāzarus ir nomiris.
Then he said to them plainly, ‘Lazarus is dead;
15 Un Es priecājos jūsu dēļ, ka Es tur neesmu bijis (ka jūs varat ticēt); bet ejam pie viņa.”
and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him.’
16 Tad Toms, saucams dvīnis, uz tiem citiem mācekļiem sacīja: “Ejam mēs arīdzan, ka līdz ar Viņu mirstam.”
At this, Thomas, who was called “The Twin,” said to his fellow disciples, ‘Let us go too, so that we may die with him.’
17 Tad Jēzus nogājis to atrada jau četras dienas kapā gulošu.
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 (Bet Betanija bija tuvu pie Jeruzālemes, kādu pusjūdzi.)
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 Un daudz Jūdu bija nākuši pie Martas un Marijas, ka tās iepriecinātu par viņu brāli.
a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
20 Tad Marta dzirdējusi, ka Jēzus nākot, gāja Viņam pretī, bet Marija palika mājās sēžot.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 Tad Marta sacīja uz Jēzu: “Kungs, ja Tu šeitan būtu bijis, tad mans brālis nebūtu miris.
‘Master,’ Martha said to Jesus, ‘if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Bet arī tagad es zinu, ka visu, ko Tu no Dieva lūgsi, Dievs Tev dos.”
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.’
23 Jēzus uz to saka: “Tavs brālis celsies augšām.”
‘Your brother will rise to life,’ said Jesus.
24 Marta uz Viņu saka: “Es zinu, ka viņš augšāmcelsies tanī augšāmcelšanā pastara dienā.”
‘I know that he will,’ replied Martha, ‘in the resurrection at the Last day.’
25 Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Es esmu tā augšāmcelšanās un tā dzīvība; kas tic uz Mani, jebšu tas būtu miris, tas dzīvos,
‘I am the resurrection and the life,’ said Jesus. ‘He who believes in me will live, though he die;
and he who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ (aiōn g165)
27 Tā uz Viņu saka: “Tiešām, Kungs, es ticu, ka Tu esi Kristus, Dieva Dēls, kam bija nākt pasaulē.”
‘Yes Master,’ she answered. ‘I have learned to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.’
28 Un to sacījusi viņa nogāja un sauca Mariju, savu māsu, slepeni, sacīdama: “Mācītājs ir šeitan un tevi aicina.”
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, ‘The teacher is here, and is asking for you.’
29 Un to dzirdējusi, tā tūdaļ cēlās un nāca pie Viņa.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 (Bet Jēzus tai miestā vēl nebija ienācis, bet bija tai vietā, kur Marta Viņu sastapa.)
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 Tad tie Jūdi, kas namā pie viņas bija un viņu iepriecināja, redzēdami, ka Marija tūdaļ cēlās un izgāja, viņai gāja pakaļ sacīdami: “Viņa iet uz kapu, tur raudāt.”
So the people, who were in the house with Mary, comforting her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Tad Marija, kad tā nāca, kur Jēzus bija, un Viņu redzēja, metās Viņam pie kājām un uz Viņu sacīja: “Kungs, ja Tu šeitan būtu bijis, tad mans brālis nebūtu miris.”
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. ‘Master,’ she exclaimed, ‘if you had been here, my brother would not have died!’
33 Tad Jēzus, kad tas viņu redzēja raudam, arī tos Jūdus raudam, kas līdz ar viņu bija nākuši, garā aizgrābts, noskuma pie Sevis,
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 Un sacīja: “Kur jūs viņu esat nolikuši?” Tie uz Viņu saka: “Kungs, nāc un redzi.”
‘Where have you buried him?’ he asked. ‘Come and see, Master,’ they answered.
35 Jēzus raudāja.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Tad tie Jūdi sacīja: “Redzi, kā tas Viņu ir mīlējis!”
‘How he must have loved him!’ the people exclaimed;
37 Bet citi no tiem sacīja: “Vai Tas, kas tā neredzīgā acis atvēris, nevarēja darīt, ka arī šis nebūtu nomiris?”
but some of them said, ‘Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?’
38 Tad Jēzus atkal sirdī aizgrābts nāk pie kapa; bet tas bija alā, un akmens gulēja priekšā.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
39 Jēzus saka: “Noceļat to akmeni.” Marta, tā nomirušā māsa, uz Viņu saka: “Kungs, viņam jau smaka; viņš jau četras dienas ir gulējis.”
‘Move the stone away,’ said Jesus. ‘Master,’ said Martha, the sister of the dead man, ‘by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.’
40 Jēzus uz to saka: “Vai Es tev neesmu sacījis: ja tu ticēsi, tad tu redzēsi Dieva godību.”
‘Didn’t I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?’
41 Tad tie to akmeni cēla, kur tas mironis bija nolikts, un Jēzus pacēla acis uz augšu un sacīja: “Tēvs, Es Tev pateicos, ka Tu Mani esi paklausījis.
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
42 Bet Es zinu, ka Tu allažiņ Mani klausi; bet to ļaužu dēļ, kas apkārt stāv, Es to saku, lai tie tic, ka Tu Mani esi sūtījis.”
I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.’
43 Un to sacījis Viņš stiprā balsī sauca: “Lāzaru, nāc ārā!”
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus! Come out!’
44 Tad tas mirušais izgāja, pie kājām un rokām saistīts ar autiem, un viņa vaigs bija aptīts ar sviedru autu. Un Jēzus uz tiem saka: “Atraisiet viņu, un lai viņš staigā.”
The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. ‘Set him free,’ said Jesus, ‘and let him go.’
45 Tad daudzi no tiem Jūdiem, kas pie Marijas bija nākuši un redzējuši, ko Jēzus darījis, ticēja uz Viņu.
In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
46 Bet citi no tiem nogāja pie tiem farizejiem un tiem sacīja, ko Jēzus bija darījis.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
47 Tad tie augstie priesteri un farizeji sapulcināja to augsto tiesu un sacīja: ko darīsim? Jo Šis cilvēks dara daudz brīnuma zīmes.
The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, ‘What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?
48 Ja Viņu tā palaidīsim, tad visi uz Viņu ticēs, un tad Romieši nāks un mums atņems gan zemi, gan ļaudis.
If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our Temple and our nation.’
49 Un viens no tiem, Kajafas, tanī gadā augstais priesteris būdams, uz tiem sacīja: “Jūs nezināt neko,
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 Un jūs neapdomājat, ka mums ir labāki, ka viens cilvēks mirst par tiem ļaudīm, nekā visa tauta pazūd.”
‘You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.’
51 Bet viņš to nesacīja no sevis paša, bet tanī gadā augstais priesteris būdams, viņš ka pravietis runāja, ka Jēzum bija mirt par to tautu;
Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation –
52 Un ne par to tautu vien, bet lai Viņš tos izklīdušos Dieva bērnus kopā sapulcinātu.
And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.
53 No tās dienas tie sarunājās, Viņu nokaut.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
54 Tad Jēzus droši vairs nestaigāja starp tiem Jūdiem, bet no turienes aizgāja uz to vidu tuvu pie tuksneša, uz to pilsētu vārdā Efraīm, un tur Viņš palika ar Saviem mācekļiem.
In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the people any more, but left and went into the country bordering on the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 Bet Jūdu Lieldiena bija tuvu un daudzi no tā vidus nogāja priekš Lieldienas uz Jeruzālemi, ka tie šķīstītos.
But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their purification, before the Festival began.
56 Tad tie Jēzu meklēja un Dieva namā stāvēdami savā starpā runāja: “Kā jums šķiet? Vai Viņš gan uz svētkiem nenāks?”
So they looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts, ‘What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?’
57 Bet tie augstie priesteri un farizeji bija devuši pavēli, ja kas zinātu, kur Viņš esot, lai tas dotu ziņu, ka tie Viņu tvertu.
The chief priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if anyone learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
