Yohana 12
1 Siku sita kabla ya sikukuu ya Pasaka, Yesu alifika Bethania alikoishi Lazaro ambaye Yesu alikuwa amemfufua kutoka wafu.
Then Iesus sixe dayes before ester came to Bethany where Lazarus was which was deed and who Iesus raysed from deeth.
2 Huko walimwandalia chakula cha jioni, naye Martha akawa anawatumikia. Lazaro alikuwa mmoja wa wale waliokuwa mezani pamoja na Yesu.
There they made him a supper and Martha served: But Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him.
3 Basi, Maria alichukua chupa ya marashi ya nardo safi ya thamani kubwa, akampaka Yesu miguu na kuipangusa kwa nywele zake. Nyumba yote ikajaa harufu ya marashi.
Then toke Mary a pounde of oyntmet called Nardus perfecte and precious and anoynted Iesus fete and wipt his fete with her heer and the housse was filled of the savre of the oyntmet.
4 Basi, Yuda Iskarioti, mmoja wa wale kumi na wawili ambaye ndiye atakayemsaliti Yesu, akasema,
Then sayde one of his disciples name Iudas Iscariot Simos sonne which afterwarde betrayed him:
5 “Kwa nini marashi hayo hayakuuzwa kwa fedha dinari mia tatu, wakapewa maskini?”
why was not this oyntmet solde for thre hondred pence and geve to the poore?
6 Alisema hivyo, si kwa kuwa alijali chochote juu ya maskini, bali kwa sababu alikuwa mweka hazina, na kwa kuwa alikuwa mwizi, mara kwa mara aliiba kutoka katika hiyo hazina.
This sayde he not that he cared for the pooer: but because he was a thefe and kept the bagge and bare that which was geven.
7 Lakini Yesu akasema, “Msimsumbue huyu mama! Mwacheni ayaweke kwa ajili ya siku ya mazishi yangu.
Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone agaynst the daye of my buryinge she kept it.
8 Maskini mtakuwa nao siku zote, lakini hamtakuwa nami siku zote.”
The poore all wayes shall ye have with you but me shall ye not all wayes have.
9 Wayahudi wengi walisikia kwamba Yesu alikuwa Bethania. Basi, wakafika huko si tu kwa ajili ya kumwona Yesu, ila pia wapate kumwona Lazaro ambaye Yesu alimfufua kutoka wafu.
Moche people of the Iewes had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Iesus sake only but yt they myght se Lazarus also whom he raysed from deeth.
10 Makuhani wakuu waliamua pia kumwua Lazaro,
The hye prestes therfore held a counsell that they myght put Lazarus to deeth also
11 Maana kwa sababu ya Lazaro Wayahudi wengi waliwaasi viongozi wao, wakamwamini Yesu.
because that for his sake many of the Iewes went awaye and beleved on Iesus.
12 Kesho yake, kundi kubwa la watu waliokuja kwenye sikukuu walisikia kuwa Yesu alikuwa njiani kuja Yerusalemu.
On the morowe moche people that were come to the feast when they hearde yt Iesus shuld come to Ierusalem
13 Basi, wakachukua matawi ya mitende, wakatoka kwenda kumlaki; wakapaaza sauti wakisema: “Hosana! Abarikiwe huyo ajaye kwa jina la Bwana. Abarikiwe mfalme wa Israeli.”
toke braunches of palme trees and went and met him and cryed: Hosanna blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde commeth kynge of Israel.
14 Yesu akampata mwana punda mmoja akapanda juu yake kama yasemavyo Maandiko:
And Iesus got a yonge asse and sate thero accordinge to that which was writte:
15 “Usiogope mji wa Sioni! Tazama, Mfalme wako anakuja, Amepanda mwana punda.”
feare not doughter of Sio beholde thy kynge cometh sittinge on an asses coolte.
16 Wakati huo wanafunzi wake hawakuelewa mambo hayo, lakini Yesu alipokwisha tukuzwa, ndipo walipokumbuka kwamba hayo yalikuwa yameandikwa juu yake, na kwamba watu walikuwa wamemtendea hivyo.
These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at ye fyrst: but when Iesus was gloryfied then remembryd they that soche thinges were written of him and that soche thinges they had done vnto him.
17 Kundi la watu wale waliokuwa pamoja naye wakati alipomwita Lazaro kutoka kaburini, akamfufua kutoka wafu, walisema yaliyotukia.
The people that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raysed him from deeth bare recorde.
18 Kwa hiyo umati huo wa watu ulimlaki, maana wote walisikia kwamba Yesu alikuwa amefanya ishara hiyo.
Therfore met him the people be cause they hearde yt he had done soche a myracle.
19 Basi, Mafarisayo wakaambiana, “Mnaona? Hatuwezi kufanya chochote! Tazameni, ulimwengu wote unamfuata.”
The Pharises therfore sayde amonge them selves: perceave ye how we prevayle no thinge? beholde the worlde goth awaye after him.
20 Kulikuwa na Wagiriki kadhaa miongoni mwa watu waliokuwa wamefika Yerusalemu kuabudu wakati wa sikukuu hiyo.
Ther were certayne Grekes amoge them that came to praye at the feast:
21 Hao walimwendea Filipo, mwenyeji wa Bethsaida katika Galilaya, wakasema, “Mheshimiwa, tunataka kumwona Yesu.”
the same cam to Philip which was of Bethsayda a cyte in Galile and desired him sayinge: Syr we wolde fayne se Iesus.
22 Filipo akaenda akamwambia Andrea, nao wawili wakaenda kumwambia Yesu.
Philip came and tolde Andrew. And agayne Andrew and Philip tolde Iesus.
23 Yesu akawaambia, “Saa ya kutukuzwa kwa Mwana wa Mtu imefika!
And Iesus answered them sayinge: the houre is come yt the sonne of ma must be glorified.
24 Kweli nawaambieni, punje ya ngano hubaki punje tu isipokuwa ikianguka katika udongo na kufa. Kama ikifa, basi huzaa matunda mengi.
Verely verely I saye vnto you except ye wheate corne fall into the grounde and dye it bydeth alone. Yf it dye it brengeth forth moche frute.
25 Anayependa maisha yake, atayapoteza; anayeyachukia maisha yake katika ulimwengu huu, atayaweka kwa ajili ya uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his lyfe shall destroye it: and he yt hateth his lyfe in this worlde shall kepe it vnto lyfe eternall. (aiōnios g166)
26 Anayetaka kunitumikia ni lazima anifuate, hivyo kwamba popote pale nilipo mimi ndipo na mtumishi wangu atakapokuwa. Mtu yeyote anayenitumikia Baba yangu atampa heshima.
If eny man mynister vnto me let him folowe me and where I am there shall also my minister be. And yf eny man minister vnto me him will my father honoure.
27 “Sasa roho yangu imefadhaika, na niseme nini? Je, niseme: Baba, usiruhusu saa hii inifikie? Lakini ndiyo maana nimekuja—ili nipite katika saa hii.
Now is my soule troubled and what shall I saye? Father delyver me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto this houre
28 Baba, ulitukuze jina lako.” Hapo sauti ikasema kutoka mbinguni, “Nimelitukuza, na nitalitukuza tena.”
Father glorify thy name. Then came ther a voyce fro heaven: I have glorified it and will glorify it agayne.
29 Umati wa watu waliokuwa wamesimama hapo walisikia sauti hiyo, na baadhi yao walisema, “Malaika ameongea naye!”
Then sayd the people yt stode by and hearde: it thoundreth. Other sayde an angell spake to him.
30 Lakini Yesu akawaambia, “Sauti hiyo haikutokea kwa ajili yangu mimi, ila kwa ajili yenu.
Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce cam not because of me but for youre sakes.
31 Sasa ndio wakati wa ulimwengu huu kuhukumiwa; sasa mtawala wa ulimwengu huu atapinduliwa.
Now is the iudgement of this worlde: now shall ye prince of this worlde be cast out.
32 Nami nitakapoinuliwa juu ya nchi nitamvuta kila mmoja kwangu.”
And I yf I were lifte vp from the erthe will drawe all men vnto me.
33 (Kwa kusema hivyo alionyesha atakufa kifo gani).
This sayde Iesus signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye.
34 Basi, umati huo ukamjibu, “Sisi tunaambiwa na Sheria yetu kwamba Kristo atadumu milele. Wawezaje basi, kusema ati Mwana wa Mtu anapaswa kuinuliwa? Huyo Mwana wa Mtu ni nani?” (aiōn g165)
The people answered him: We have hearde of ye lawe yt Christ bydeth ever: and how sayest thou then that the sonne of man must be lifte vp? who is yt sonne of ma? (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu akawaambia, “Mwanga bado uko nanyi kwa muda mfupi. Tembeeni mngali mnao huo mwanga ili giza lisiwapate; maana atembeaye gizani hajui aendako.
Then Iesus sayde vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the light wt you. Walke whill ye have light lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh in the darke wotteth not whither he goeth.
36 Basi, wakati mnao huo mwanga uaminini ili mpate kuwa watu wa mwanga.” Baada ya kusema maneno hayo, Yesu alikwenda zake na kujificha mbali nao.
Whyll ye have light beleve on the light that ye maye be the chyldren of light. These thinges spake Iesus and departed and hyd him silfe fro them.
37 Ingawa Yesu alifanya miujiza hii yote mbele yao, wao hawakumwamini.
And though he had done so many myracles before them yet beleved not they on him
38 Hivyo maneno aliyosema nabii Isaya yakatimia: “Bwana, nani aliyeuamini ujumbe wetu? Na uwezo wa Bwana umedhihirishwa kwa nani?”
yt the sayinge of Esayas the Prophet myght be fulfilled yt he spake. Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinge? And to whom ys the arme of ye Lorde opened?
39 Hivyo hawakuweza kuamini, kwani Isaya tena alisema:
Therfore coulde they not beleve because yt Esaias sayth agayne:
40 “Mungu ameyapofusha macho yao, amezipumbaza akili zao; wasione kwa macho yao, wasielewe kwa akili zao; wala wasinigeukie, asema Bwana, ili nipate kuwaponya.”
he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hertes that they shuld not se with their eyes and vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld be converted and I shuld heale the.
41 Isaya alisema maneno haya kwa sababu aliuona utukufu wa Yesu, akasema habari zake.
Soche thinges sayde Esaias when he sawe his glory and spake of him.
42 Hata hivyo, wengi wa viongozi wa Wayahudi walimwamini Yesu. Lakini kwa sababu ya Mafarisayo, hawakumkiri hadharani kwa kuogopa kwamba watatengwa na sunagogi.
Neverthelesse amoge ye chefe rulers many beleved on him. But because of the pharises they wolde not be a knowen of it lest they shuld be excommunicate.
43 Walipendelea kusifiwa na watu kuliko kusifiwa na Mungu
For they loved the prayse yt is geven of men more then the prayse that cometh of God.
44 Kisha Yesu akasema kwa sauti kubwa, “Mtu aliyeniamini, haniamini mimi tu, ila anamwamini pia yule aliyenituma.
And Iesus cryed and sayde: he that beleveth on me beleveth not on me but on him yt sent me.
45 Anayeniona mimi anamwona pia yule aliyenituma.
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 Mimi ni mwanga, nami nimekuja ulimwenguni ili wote wanaoniamini wasibaki gizani.
I am come a light into the worlde that whosoever beleveth on me shuld not byde in darcknes.
47 Anayeyasikia maneno yangu lakini hayashiki mimi sitamhukumu; maana sikuja kuhukumu ulimwengu bali kuuokoa.
And yf eny man heare my wordes and beleve not I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the worlde: but to save ye worlde.
48 Asiyeyashika maneno yangu anaye wa kumhukumu: neno lile nililosema ni hakimu wake siku ya mwisho.
He that refuseth me and receaveth not my wordes hath one that iudgeth him. The wordes that I have spoken they shall iudge him in ye last daye.
49 Mimi sikunena kwa mamlaka yangu mwenyewe, ila Baba aliyenituma ndiye aliyeniamuru niseme nini na niongee nini.
For I have not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me he gave me a commaundemet what I shuld saye and what I shuld speake.
