Yuhana 11
1 Umong unit unan lissan Laazaru wadi nin konu. Ame unit Nbaitanyari, kagbirin Maryamu nin gwane Marta.
[One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
2 Maryamu une na awa tintilo nnuf kunya kumang nabunun Cikilare awese abune nin titime, gwanemere wadi Laazaru unan kone.
Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Nuane nishono to kitin Yesu iworoghe, “Cikilari, yene ame ulenge na udi nin suwe dinin konu.”
So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
4 Na Yesu nlanza, a woro, “Na ule ukone unkulari ba, umana so un gongong Kutelleari, bara usaun Kutelle nan se ngongong kitenen nin.”
[They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
5 Yesu wayita nin sun Marta nin gwane kishono a Lazaru.
Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
6 Na awa lanza Lanzaru di nin konu, Yesu kpina ayiri aba kiti kanga na awa yita ku.
But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
7 Kimal nani, aworo nono katwawe “Cannari tido u Yahudiya tutung.”
But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8 Nono katwawe woroghe, “Rabi, na udandauna ba, na a Yahudawa nyita nin su iffillusu fi, umini di nin su ukpili kite tutungha?”
We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
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.
[To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
10 Nanya nani, as adin cin nin kitik, aba tiru bara na nkanang di ninghe ba.”
It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
11 Yesu wa bellin uleli ulire, kimal nleli ulire, aworo nani, “Udondong bite Laazaru ndo nmoro, mma du nnan di fyaghe nmore.”
After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
12 Nono katwawe tunna iworoghe, “Cikilari, andi nmoroari adi mum, ama fitu.'
So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
13 Yesu wasu uliru nbellen nkul Laazaruari, inung wa su adin liru nmoro nshinuari.
Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
14 Yesu nin belle nani kanang, “Laazaru nku.
So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Nlanza nmang bara anughe, na nni yita kite ba anung nan yinna. Cannari tido kitime.”
But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
16 Tuma, ulenge na iwa yiccughe fibari, woro nadon katwa me, “Na arik wang do ligowe tinan ku ligowe nan Yesu.”
Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
17 Na Yesu nda, ada se Laazaru nmal ti ayiri anas kisekk.
When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
18 Ubaitanya wadi susut nin Urshalima, npit mine nafo timel tiba.
Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
19 A Yahudawa gbardang wa dak kitin Marta nin Maryamu, ida lissu nani nin kul ngwana mine.
Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
20 Marta tunna na a lanza Yesu din cinu, anuzu adi zuro ninghe, Maryamu lawa kilare.
When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
21 Marta tunna aworo Yesu ku, “Cikilari, ndfo uwa duku, na gwana nighe wa kuba.
When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
22 Nene wang, ko iyapin imonari utirino Kutelle, ama nifi inin.”
But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
23 Yesu woronenge, “Gwanafine ma fitu tutung.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
24 Marta woroghe nenge, “In yiru ama fitu tutung kubi nfiyu na nan kul, liri nimalin.”
Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
25 Yesu woroghe, “Menghari ufyu na nan kul, Myeri ulai; ulenge na ayinna nin mi, ko aku, ama ti ulai;
Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
27 Aworoghe nenge, “Nanere, Cikilari, in yinna fere Kristi, Usaun Kutelle, ulenge na adin cinu ucin da nanya nyi.”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
28 Na a belle nani, a nya adi yiccila Maryamu gwane likot. Aworo, “Unan dursuzu niyerte di kikane, adin yiccufi.”
After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
29 Na Maryamu nlaza nani, afita mas ado kitin Yesu.
When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Kube na Yesu wadi asa pira nanya kagbire ba awa dutu kite na Marta nni zuro ninghe.
Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha 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.
The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry 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 got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] 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 crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
34 a woro, “Ina nonkoghe nweri?” Iworoghe, “Cikilari da uda yene.”
He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Yesu gila.
Jesus began to cry.
36 A Yahudawa woro,”Yenen ngbardang nsuwe na adi Laazaru ku mun!”
Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
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 others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
38 Yesu nin lidurun nanya kibinayi me, do kiti kisekkee. Kisekke kutiyari, kutala wa yerdin nnuwe.
Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
39 Yesu woro, “Kalan litale.” Marta, gwanan Laazaru unan kule, woro Yesu ku, “Nene aduru ayiri anas kidowe nmal di cizunu ubiju.”
Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
40 Yesu woroghe, “Na nbelinfi nenge, andi uyinna, uma yenu ngongong Kutelle ba?”
Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
41 Itunna ikala kutale. Yesu ghatina iyizi me kitene kani aworo, “Ucif ning, ndin zazunfi bara na udin lanzui.
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
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 [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
43 Kimal nbellu nani, ata ntet nin liwui kang, “Laazaru nuzu udas.”
After he said that, he shouted, “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 man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
45 A Yahudawa gbaedang na iwa dak kitin Maryamu yene imong ilenge na Yesu nsu, i yinna ninghe;
As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
46 among mine nya ido kiti na Farisawa idi bellin nani imon ile na Yesu nsu.
But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus 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.
So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
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 keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
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 the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
50 Na idin yenju ucaun kitiu mine unit urum ku bara anit va, nnun woro anit vat nana.”
You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
51 Awa bellin uleli ulire na un litime ba, bara awa di upriest udya likusse. Awa su annabci, Yesu maku bara anit;
He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
52 na bara nmyen cas ba, Yesu nan pitiruno kiti kirum nono Kutelle alenge na ishogilin nkowe.
But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
53 Ucizunu lilone, udu ubun, iwa kpiliza tibau nworu imolughe.
So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
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.
Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
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.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
56 Iwa din pizurun Yesu ku, ilira nan nati mine nanya kutii nlira, “Iyaghari idin kpiluze? Na aba dak kitin ide ba?”
The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
57 Ugo na priest nan na Farisawa wani uduka andi umong yiru kikanga na Yesu duku, na abelin inan kifoghe
