Yuhana 11
1 Umong unit unan lissan Laazaru wadi nin konu. Ame unit Nbaitanyari, kagbirin Maryamu nin gwane Marta.
Now a man named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Maryamu une na awa tintilo nnuf kunya kumang nabunun Cikilare awese abune nin titime, gwanemere wadi Laazaru unan kone.
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Nuane nishono to kitin Yesu iworoghe, “Cikilari, yene ame ulenge na udi nin suwe dinin konu.”
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – ‘Master, your friend is ill’;
4 Na Yesu nlanza, a woro, “Na ule ukone unkulari ba, umana so un gongong Kutelleari, bara usaun Kutelle nan se ngongong kitenen nin.”
and, when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honor of God, in order that the Son of God may be honored through it.”
5 Yesu wayita nin sun Marta nin gwane kishono a Lazaru.
Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Na awa lanza Lanzaru di nin konu, Yesu kpina ayiri aba kiti kanga na awa yita ku.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Kimal nani, aworo nono katwawe “Cannari tido u Yahudiya tutung.”
Then, after that, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Nono katwawe woroghe, “Rabi, na udandauna ba, na a Yahudawa nyita nin su iffillusu fi, umini di nin su ukpili kite tutungha?”
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the authorities there were but just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?”
9 Yesu kwana, a woro, “Na abiri kubi likureari di nanya liyirin ba? Asa umong din cin nin liring, na ama tiru ba, bara na adin yenju kiti kanang nin liring.
“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 Nanya nani, as adin cin nin kitik, aba tiru bara na nkanang di ninghe ba.”
but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.”
11 Yesu wa bellin uleli ulire, kimal nleli ulire, aworo nani, “Udondong bite Laazaru ndo nmoro, mma du nnan di fyaghe nmore.”
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 Nono katwawe tunna iworoghe, “Cikilari, andi nmoroari adi mum, ama fitu.'
“If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
13 Yesu wasu uliru nbellen nkul Laazaruari, inung wa su adin liru nmoro nshinuari.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 Yesu nin belle nani kanang, “Laazaru nku.
Then he said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead;
15 Nlanza nmang bara anughe, na nni yita kite ba anung nan yinna. Cannari tido kitime.”
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 Tuma, ulenge na iwa yiccughe fibari, woro nadon katwa me, “Na arik wang do ligowe tinan ku ligowe nan Yesu.”
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 Na Yesu nda, ada se Laazaru nmal ti ayiri anas kisekk.
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 Ubaitanya wadi susut nin Urshalima, npit mine nafo timel tiba.
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 A Yahudawa gbardang wa dak kitin Marta nin Maryamu, ida lissu nani nin kul ngwana mine.
a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
20 Marta tunna na a lanza Yesu din cinu, anuzu adi zuro ninghe, Maryamu lawa kilare.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 Marta tunna aworo Yesu ku, “Cikilari, ndfo uwa duku, na gwana nighe wa kuba.
“Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Nene wang, ko iyapin imonari utirino Kutelle, ama nifi inin.”
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
23 Yesu woronenge, “Gwanafine ma fitu tutung.”
“Your brother will rise to life,” said Jesus.
24 Marta woroghe nenge, “In yiru ama fitu tutung kubi nfiyu na nan kul, liri nimalin.”
“I know that he will,” replied Martha, “in the resurrection at the Last day.”
25 Yesu woroghe, “Menghari ufyu na nan kul, Myeri ulai; ulenge na ayinna nin mi, ko aku, ama ti ulai;
“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 Aworoghe nenge, “Nanere, Cikilari, in yinna fere Kristi, Usaun Kutelle, ulenge na adin cinu ucin da nanya nyi.”
“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 Na a belle nani, a nya adi yiccila Maryamu gwane likot. Aworo, “Unan dursuzu niyerte di kikane, adin yiccufi.”
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, “The teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 Na Maryamu nlaza nani, afita mas ado kitin Yesu.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 Kube na Yesu wadi asa pira nanya kagbire ba awa dutu kite na Marta nni zuro ninghe.
Jesus had not then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 A Yahudawa alenge na iwa dak lippe, wadi ligowe nin Maryamu nanya kilare, na iwa yeneghe afita mas anuzu udas, idofinghe, iwa yenje nafo anuzu ucindu kisseskkere adi gilu ku.
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 Maryamu tunna na ada kiti kanga na Yesu yissin ku a yeneghe, adio kutyen nbun me a woroghe, “Cikilari ndafo una yita kikane, na gwana ninghe wa ku ba.”
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 Na Yesu in yeneghe kuculu, a a Yahudawe na ida ligowe ninghe wang di kuculu, ata liduru nanya nruhu, ayi me fita kang;
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 a woro, “Ina nonkoghe nweri?” Iworoghe, “Cikilari da uda yene.”
“Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
35 Yesu gila.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 A Yahudawa woro,”Yenen ngbardang nsuwe na adi Laazaru ku mun!”
“How he must have loved him!” the people exclaimed;
37 Among mine woro, “Na unit ulelere, ulenge na awa pun iyizi nnit ule na awa di udu ba, na ana wanti ulele ukule ba?”
but some of them said, “Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?”
38 Yesu nin lidurun nanya kibinayi me, do kiti kisekkee. Kisekke kutiyari, kutala wa yerdin nnuwe.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of it.
39 Yesu woro, “Kalan litale.” Marta, gwanan Laazaru unan kule, woro Yesu ku, “Nene aduru ayiri anas kidowe nmal di cizunu ubiju.”
“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 Yesu woroghe, “Na nbelinfi nenge, andi uyinna, uma yenu ngongong Kutelle ba?”
“Didn’t I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, you should see the glory of God?”
41 Itunna ikala kutale. Yesu ghatina iyizi me kitene kani aworo, “Ucif ning, ndin zazunfi bara na udin lanzui.
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
42 Meng yiru ko kuyeme kubi udin lanzui, bara kukirinanite na ikilini unnare nta nbelle nani, inan yinna fere na tui.”
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 Kimal nbellu nani, ata ntet nin liwui kang, “Laazaru nuzu udas.”
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”
44 Unan kule nuzu udas, anin tecin abunu nin nacara nin nimon nkassu libi, umuro me wa tecin nin nimon nkassu libi. Yesu woro nani, “Buncughe isughe a nya.”
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 A Yahudawa gbaedang na iwa dak kitin Maryamu yene imong ilenge na Yesu nsu, i yinna ninghe;
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 among mine nya ido kiti na Farisawa idi bellin nani imon ile na Yesu nsu.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.
47 Ugo na Priest nan na Yahudawa pitirino kudaru mine kiti kirum, iworo,”Inyaghari tiba ti? Unit ulele din su imon izikiki gbardang.
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 Asa tisughe aleo ubun nengene, vat ma yinnu ninghe, a Rumawa ma dak ida bollu kiti bite nin min bite.”
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 Vat nani, umong unit nanya mine lissa me Kefas, amere wadi ugo na Priest likus lole, woro nani, “Na iyiru ko imong ba.
One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,
50 Na idin yenju ucaun kitiu mine unit urum ku bara anit va, nnun woro anit vat nana.”
“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 Awa bellin uleli ulire na un litime ba, bara awa di upriest udya likusse. Awa su annabci, Yesu maku bara anit;
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 na bara nmyen cas ba, Yesu nan pitiruno kiti kirum nono Kutelle alenge na ishogilin nkowe.
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 Ucizunu lilone, udu ubun, iwa kpiliza tibau nworu imolughe.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.
54 Na Yesu wa kuru a gala nanya na Yahudawa fang ba, awa nya a suna kikane ado nmon min nkan kagbiri idin yicu Ifiraimu nkon kusho. Kikanere awa so ku nan nono katwa me.
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 Upaska na Yahudawa wa dak susut, gbardang na mong ani wa nuzu nanya nmine udu Urshalima inan di wesse ati mine a upaska dutu.
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 Iwa din pizurun Yesu ku, ilira nan nati mine nanya kutii nlira, “Iyaghari idin kpiluze? Na aba dak kitin ide ba?”
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 Ugo na priest nan na Farisawa wani uduka andi umong yiru kikanga na Yesu duku, na abelin inan kifoghe
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.
