Yoane 11
1 Kati na mboka Betani, ezalaki na mobali moko na kombo Lazare; azalaki kobela mpe azalaki na bandeko basi mibale: Mari mpe Marte.
Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Mari azali mwasi oyo asopelaki Nkolo malasi mpe asalelaki suki na ye mpo na kopangusa makolo ya Yesu, mpe Lazare oyo azali kobela azali ndeko na ye ya mobali.
It was Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Bandeko nyonso mibale ya basi batindaki maloba oyo epai ya Yesu: — Nkolo, moto oyo olingaka azali kobela.
The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, “Lord, see, he whom you love is sick.”
4 Tango Yesu ayokaki yango, alobaki: — Bokono oyo ekoboma ye te, kasi ekopesa Nzambe nkembo mpe ekozala nzela mpo ete Mwana na Nzambe azwa lokumu.
When Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
5 Nzokande, Yesu azalaki kolinga makasi Marte, ndeko na ye ya mwasi mpe Lazare.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Atako ayokaki ete Lazare azali kobela, kasi avandaki lisusu mikolo mibale na esika oyo azalaki.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
7 Bongo alobaki na bayekoli na Ye: — Tosengeli sik’oyo kozonga na Yuda.
Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Bayekoli balobaki na Ye: — Moteyi, wuta mokolo oyo Bayuda balingaki koboma Yo na mabanga, eleki nanu mikolo mingi te; bongo mpo na nini olingi lisusu kozonga kuna?
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?”
9 Yesu azongisaki: — Boni, moyi ezalaka na bangonga zomi na mibale te? Soki moto atamboli na moyi, akobeta mabaku te, pamba te azali komona pole ya mokili oyo.
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
10 Nzokande, soki moto atamboli na butu, akobeta penza mabaku, pamba te pole ezali te.
However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him.”
11 Sima na Ye koloba bongo, alobaki na bango lisusu: — Molingami na biso, Lazare, alali pongi; kasi nazali kokende kolamusa ye.
He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep.”
12 Bayekoli balobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, soki azali kolala pongi, akobika na bokono na ye!
The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Solo, Yesu alingaki koloba ete Lazare akufi, kasi bayekoli bakanisaki ete azali kolobela nde pongi oyo tolalaka.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
14 Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango na polele: — Lazare akufi.
Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Mpe nazali na esengo makasi mpo na bino lokola bozalaki kuna te, pamba te likambo oyo ekosala ete kondima na bino elendisama. Kasi sik’oyo tokende epai na ye.
I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him.”
16 Na bongo, Toma, oyo bazalaki mpe kobenga « Lipasa, » alobaki na bayekoli mosusu: — Biso mpe, tokende mpo ete tokufa elongo na Yesu!
Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”
17 Tango Yesu akomaki, ayokaki ete basilaki kokunda Lazare kati na kunda wuta mikolo minei.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 Mpe lokola Betani ezalaki mosika ya Yelusalemi na bakilometele pene misato,
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Bayuda mingi bayaki epai ya Mari mpe Marte mpo na kokabola mawa elongo na bango, mpo na kufa ya ndeko na bango.
Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
20 Tango Marte ayokaki ete Yesu azali koya, akendeki kokutana na Ye; kasi Mari atikalaki ya kovanda kati na ndako.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Marte alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, soki ozalaki awa, ndeko na ngai alingaki kokufa te!
Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Kasi nazali na kondima ete, ata sik’oyo, Nzambe akopesa Yo nyonso oyo okosenga Ye.
Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
23 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ndeko na yo akosekwa.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Marte azongiselaki Yesu: — Nayebi solo ete akosekwa, na mokolo ya suka, na tango bakufi bakosekwa.
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Ngai nazali lisekwa mpe bomoi. Moto nyonso oyo andimi Ngai akozala na bomoi, atako akufi.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live;
26 Mpe moto nyonso oyo andimi Ngai, wana azali na bomoi, akotikala kokufa te. Ondimi yango? (aiōn g165)
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Marte azongisaki: — Iyo, Nkolo! Nandimi ete ozali Klisto, Mwana na Nzambe, oyo asengelaki koya na mokili.
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
28 Sima na Marte koloba bongo, akendeki kobenga Mari, ndeko na ye; mpe wana abendaki ye pembeni, alobaki na ye na mongongo ya se penza: — Moteyi ayei, azali kobenga yo.
When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 Tango kaka Mari ayokaki bongo, atelemaki na lombangu mpe akendeki epai ya Yesu.
When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Nzokande, Yesu akotaki nanu te na mboka; azalaki kaka na esika oyo Marte akutanaki na Ye.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
31 Tango Bayuda oyo bazalaki elongo na Mari kati na ndako mpo na kokabola mawa elongo na ye, bamonaki Mari kotelema na lombangu mpe kobima libanda, balandaki ye, pamba te bakanisaki ete akei kolela na kunda.
So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Tango kaka Mari akomaki na esika oyo Yesu azalaki mpe amonaki Ye, amibwakaki na makolo na Ye mpe alobaki: — Nkolo, soki ozalaki awa, ndeko na ngai alingaki kokufa te!
When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Tango Yesu amonaki Mari mpe Bayuda oyo bayaki elongo na ye kolela, ayokaki mawa makasi mpe amitungisaki.
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and was troubled;
34 Atunaki bango: — Bokundaki ye wapi? Bazongisaki: — Nkolo, yaka kotala.
he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesu alelaki.
Jesus wept.
36 Bongo Bayuda balobaki: — Tala ndenge nini alingaki ye!
Then the Jews said, “See how much he loved Lazarus!”
37 Kasi bamosusu kati na bango balobaki: — Ezali ye te oyo abikisaki mokufi miso? Bongo ndenge nini akokaki te kosala ete Lazare akufa te?
But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?”
38 Lokola Yesu amitungisaki lisusu makasi, akendeki na kunda. Ezalaki kati na ebombamelo ya mabanga oyo, na ekotelo na yango, batiaki libanga moko ya monene.
Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Yesu alobaki na bango: — Botindika libanga. Kasi Marte, ndeko ya mowei, alobaki na Yesu: — Nkolo, azali kolumba solo! Wuta bakundaki ye, esali mikolo minei.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, “Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for four days.”
40 Yesu alobaki na ye: — Nalobaki na yo te ete soki ondimi, okomona nkembo ya Nzambe?
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 Boye batindikaki libanga. Bongo Yesu atombolaki miso na likolo mpe alobaki: « Tata, nazali kotonda Yo mpo ete oyoki Ngai.
So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Nayebaki ete oyokaka Ngai tango nyonso; kasi soki nalobi bongo, ezali mpo ete bato oyo bazali zingazinga na Ngai bandima ete Yo nde otindaki Ngai. »
I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
43 Sima na Yesu koloba bongo, agangaki: — Lazare, bima!
After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mpe mowei abimaki longwa na kunda; makolo mpe maboko na ye ezalaki ya kokangama na basinga ya bitendi, mpe elongi na ye ezalaki ya kozipama na elamba. Bongo Yesu alobaki na bato oyo bazalaki wana: — Bofungola ye basinga wana mpe botika ye kokende.
The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
45 Kati na Bayuda oyo bayaki epai ya Mari, mingi kati na bango bandimaki Yesu tango bamonaki makambo oyo asalaki;
Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 kasi bamosusu bakendeki kokuta Bafarizeo mpo na koyebisa bango makambo yango, oyo Yesu asalaki.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47 Bongo bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo babengisaki Likita-Monene mpe batunanaki: — Tosala nini? Moto oyo azali kosala bikamwa mingi.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does many signs.
48 Soki totiki ye kokoba kosala bongo, bato nyonso bakondima ye; bongo bato ya Rome bakoya bakobebisa Tempelo na biso mpe ekolo na biso.
If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Moko kati na bango, Kayifa, oyo azalaki mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe na mobu wana, alobaki na bango:
However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.
50 — Bozali kososola eloko moko te; bozali mpe komona te ete ezali mpo na bolamu na bino soki moto moko akufi mpo na bato nyonso, mpo ete ekolo mobimba ebebisama te?
You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”
51 Nzokande, makambo oyo azalaki koloba na bango ewutaki na makanisi na ye moko te; kasi lokola azalaki mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe na mobu wana, yango wana asakolaki ete Yesu asengelaki kokufa mpo na ekolo ya Bayuda.
Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 Mpe asengelaki kokufa kaka mpo na ekolo yango te, kasi mpe mpo na kosangisa kati na libota moko, bana nyonso ya Nzambe, oyo bapalangana bipai na bipai.
and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
53 Ezali na mokolo wana nde bazwaki mokano ya koboma Yesu.
So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
54 Na bongo, Yesu atikaki komilakisa na polele kati na Bayuda; alongwaki wana mpe akendeki na etuka oyo ezalaki pene ya esobe, kati na engumba moko na kombo Efrayimi; mpe avandaki kuna elongo na bayekoli na Ye.
No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed with the disciples.
55 Kasi lokola feti ya Pasika ya Bayuda ekomaki pene, bato mingi ya mboka bakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na komipetola liboso ya feti yango.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 Bazalaki koluka Yesu mpe kotunana bango na bango kati na lopango ya Tempelo: — Bokanisi nini? Akoya penza na feti?
They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?”
57 Nzokande bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Bafarizeo basilaki kopesa mitindo ete moto nyonso oyo akoyeba esika oyo Yesu azali, ayebisa bango mpo ete bakanga ye.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might seize him.
