Yohani 12
1 Magono sita kwakona mselebuko wa Pasaka, Yesu ahikili ku Betania kweatamayi Lazalu, mundu yula mweamyukisi.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Kwenuko vamtendelakili chakulya cha kimihi, Malita akavya kuvahengela. Lazalu avi mmonga wa vala vevatamili pameza pamonga na Yesu.
So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
3 Kangi Maliya akatola libotolo la pinga la mahuta geginungalila bwina, gegatenganizwi kwa mkongo wa nado, gegiguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele, akamnyala Yesu mumagendelu na kuhungula kwa mayunju gaki. Nyumba yoha yikanungalila mahuta gala.
Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Nambu Yuda Isikalioti mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vala ndi mweabweli kumng'anamukila Yesu, akajova,
Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 Ndava kyani mahuta ago gaguliswi lepi kwa hipandi miya zidatu ya madini ga feza, vapewayi vangangu.
“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 Ajovili genago lepi ndava ya lipyana kwa vangangu, nambu avi mvika kahaku ka mashonga. Na pamahele ayivayi mashonga gegavikwayi mu kahaku kala muni avi mhiji.
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.
7 Nambu Yesu akajova, “Mkoto kumung'aha mau mwenuyu! Muleka agavika ndava ya ligono la kunizika.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 Vangangu yati mwivya nawu magono goha, nambu mwivya lepi na nene magono goha.”
For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
9 Vayawudi vamahele vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi ku Betania. Vakahika kwenuko lepi ndava ya kumlola Yesu ndi ndava ya kumlola Lazalu mweayukiswi na Yesu.
A large crowd therefore of the Jews learnt that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Hinu Vamteta vakulu mewawa vayidakilini kumkoma lazalu.
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
11 Ndava ya kuyukiswa kwa Lazalu Vayawudi vamahele vavabelili vachilongosi wavi, vakamsadika Yesu.
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 Chilau yaki, msambi uvaha wa vandu vevabwelili kumselebuko vakayuwana Yesu avi munjila kubwela pa Yelusalemu.
On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Hinu vakatola matutu ga mavali, vakawuka kuhamba kumpokela, vakajova kwa lwami luvaha. “Chapanga alumbiwa! Amotisiwa mwenuyo mweibwela kwa liina la Bambu. Amotisiwa Nkosi wa Isilaeli.”
they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 Yesu akapewa mwana lipunda, akakwela panani yaki ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi.
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 “Vandu va muji wa Siyoni mkotoka kuyogopa! Ulola, Nkosi waku ibwela. Akweli mwana lipunda!”
“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 Vawuliwa vaki nakumanya mambu ago, nambu Yesu peamali kupewa ukulu, ndi vakamanya kuvya gala gamali kuyandikwa kumvala mwene, kuvya vandu vamkitili genago.
His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Msambi wa vandu vala vevavi pamonga na Yesu ligono leamkemili Lazalu kuhuma mulitinda, amyukisi. Vavajovili vandu mambu gala gegahumalili.
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.
18 Ndava ya yeniyo msambi wa vandu ukahamba kumpokela, muni vayuwini kuvya akitili chinamtiti chenicho.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Hinu Vafalisayu vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, mwilola? Nakuhotola kukita chochoha! Mlolayi, vandu voha va mulima vakumlanda.”
The Pharisees therefore said amongst themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Kwavi na Vagiliki vadebe pagati ya vandu vala vevahikili ku Yelusalemu kumfugamila lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa pasaka.
Now there were certain Greeks amongst those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Venavo vamhambili Filipi, mkolonjinji wa Betisaida mweavili pamulima wa Galilaya, vakajova “Mtopeswa tete tigana kumlola Yesu.”
Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Filipi akahamba kumjovela Andelea, voha vavili vakahamba kumjovela Yesu.
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 Yesu akavajovela, “Saa ya Mwana wa Mundu kupewa ukulu yihikili.”
Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Chakaka nikujovela, mbeyu ya nganu yisigalila kuvya mbeyu ndu, mbaka yigwai muludaka na kufwa. Ngati yikafwayi ndi yimela na kupambika mbeyu yamahele.
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 Mundu yoyoha mweakuugana wumi waki yati akuuyagisa, nambu mundu yoyoha mweakuuyomela wumi waki pamulima apa, akuuvika wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Mundu mweigana kunihengala yikumgana kunilanda, mewa pala penivya nene, ndi peivya mtangatila wangu. Mundu akanihengelayi nene Dadi wangu yati akumtopesa.
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.
27 “Hinu mpungu wangu uvagaya, nijova wuli? ‘Dadi unisangulayi na lukumbi lwenulo?’ Nambu ndava ya genago nibwelili muni nipitilayi lukumbi ulu lwa mang'ahiso.
“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
28 Dadi, ugubukula ukulu waku.” Penapo lwami lukajova kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, “Nimali kuugubukula ukulu wangu na yati nikuugubukula kavili.”
Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Msambi wa vandu vevayimili penapo vayuwini lwami lula, nambu vangi vavi vakajova, mbulumu na vangi vakajova “Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga alongili naku!”
Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Malovi gemuyuwini lepi ndava ya nene, nambu ndava ya nyenye.
Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Hinu ndi lukumbi lwa vandu va mulima uwu kuhamuliwa, Setani mweavi chilongosi wa mulima uwu yati ivingiwa.
Now is the judgement of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 Nene peniyinuliwa panani kuhuma pamulima yati kila mmonga yati ihutika kwangu.”
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 Ajovili genago kulangisa lifwa leifwa.
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 Hinu, msambi wa vandu wula ukamyangula “Tete tijoviwi na malagizu gitu kuvya Kilisitu yati ilama magono goha. Hinu uhotola wuli, kujova yikumgana Mwana wa Mundu kuyinuliwa? Mwana wa mundu mwenuyo ndi yani?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu akavajovela, “Lumuli lwakona na nyenye mu lukumbi luhupi. Mgenda kwakona muvi nalu lumuli lwenulo muni chitita chikoto kuvakolela, muni mweigenda muchitita angamanya kweihamba.
Jesus 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.
36 Lukumbi muvi na lumuli mwasadiki lumuli lwenulo muni mpata kuvya vandu va lumuli.” Peamali kujova malovi genago, Yesu akawuka mwene na kuhamba kujifiya patali na vandu.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Nambu pamonga Yesu ahengili gachinamtiti goha palongolo yavi, vene vamsadiki lepi.
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
38 Hinu malovi geajovili Isaya mweavili mlota wa Chapanga gakatimalila. “Bambu, yani mweasadiki ujumbi witu? Na uhotola wa Bambu agubukuliwi yani?”
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?”
39 Mewa vangahotola kusadika ndava Isaya ajovili kavili,
For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 “Chapanga agakoywisi mihu gavi Avahimwisi luhala lwavi. Vakoto kulola kwa mihu gavi. Vakoto kumanya kwa luhala lwavi. Nambu vakoto kuniwuyila. Muni nivalamisa.”
“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.”
41 Isaya ajovili ndava auwene ukulu wa Yesu na kujova ndava ya Yesu.
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Pamonga na ago, vachilongosi vamahele va Vayawudi vamsadiki Yesu. Nambu ndava ya kuvayogopa Vafalisayu nakujova hotohoto. Vayogwipi kuvingiwa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi.
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,
43 Ndava muni vachilongosi avo vaganili kukwihiwa na vandu kuliku kukwihiwa na Chapanga.
for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44 Kangi Yesu akajova, kwa lwami luvaha, “Mundu mweakunisadika nene, akunisadika lepi namwene ndu, mewawa akumsadika yula mweanitumili nene.
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 Mweakunilola nene mewawa akumlola yula mweanitumili.
He who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Nene nibwelili pamulima muni nivyayi lumuli, mundu yoyoha mweakunisadika akotoka kusigalila muchitita.
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Mundu yoyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu, na akugahengela lepi, nene nikumuhamula lepi. Muni nibweli hee ndava ya kuvahamula vandu va mumulima nambu kuvasangula.
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.
48 Yula mweakunibela nene, mweangayidakila malovi gangu avi naku wa kumuhamula. Malovi ga Yesu yati gakuvahamula vandu ligono la mwishu.
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.
49 Nene nakujova kwa uhotola wangu namwene, nambu Dadi mweanitumili ndi mweanijovela nijova kyani na cheyiganikiwa kuvajovela vandu.
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.
