Yuhana 12
1 Upaska dutu nin nayiri kutocin, Yesu da Ubaitanya, kikanga na Laazaru wa duku, ulenge na awa fyaghe nkul.
Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
2 I kanjaghe imori kikane, Martari wadi nkosue, Laazaru wadi nanya nale na iwa sosin kutebul nin Yesu.
So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.
3 Maryamu yauna libon nuf nin kunya kumang na idin yicu minin nard, a titilo nabunun Yesu, a wesse abune nin titi me; kunya nnufe mala kiti vat nanya kilare.
Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Umong nanyan nono katwa me, ule na idin yicu Yahuda Iskaroti, ulenge na amere ma lewu Yesu ku, woro.
Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),
5 Inyaghari nwantina ulewu nnuf mone nanya nidinari akalt atat ikossu anan diru?”
"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"
6 Awa belli nani na bara adin lanzu nkunekune nanan diruere ba, ama bara na ame ukiriari: amere wadi unan mizunu nka nikurfunghe anan se ayira litime imong nanya
The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.
7 Yesu woro, “Sunnaghe ali ubun nimon ile na adi mun bara lirin nkasunigha adinsue.
But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.
8 Idi ligowe nin na nan dirre ko kome kub, na ima yitu ligowe nan mi ko kome kubi ba.”
For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."
9 A Yahudawa gbardang lanza Yesu di kikane, ida, na bara Yesu cas ba, ama inan se iyene Laazaru ku, ulenge na Yesu wa fyaghe nanya nkul.
Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.
10 Ama adidya na nan dursuzu kite munu tinuu imolu Laazaru ku;
The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,
11 bara amere a Yahudawa gbardang wa sun nani iyinna nin Yesu.
for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.
12 Ukurtunun nkuiye anit gbardang da kitin buke. Na ilanza Yesu din cinu udak Urshalima.
The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Ibalsa incem inuzu udundi zuru ninghe, itiza ntet, iworo, “Hossana! Unan mariari ulenge na ada nanya lissa NCikilari, Ugo in Israila.”
took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!"
14 Yesu se kajaki kabene a ghanaku nafo na iwa yertin.
And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, just as the Scripture says,
15 “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, fe ushonon Sihiyona; yenen Ugo mine din cinu, assosin kitene kajaki kabene.”
"Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."
16 Na nono katwa me wa yinin ileli imone nin cizune ba; ama na iwa ti Yesu ku gongong, ilizino nworu ina nyertin ileli imone litime inung ani nsughe inin.
The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.
17 Nene ligozin nanite na iwa di nin Yesu kube na awa yicila Laazaru ku a fyaghe nanya kissek, inung wa belu among.
The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.
18 Bara nanere wati ligozin loli wa nuzu lidi zuro ninghe bara na iwa lanza asu ileli imone.
This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
19 A farisawa woro nati mine, “Yenen, iwasa ita imonmong ba; uyii vat din dortughe.”
The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
20 Among a Helenawa wa di nanya na lenge na iwa do nsujada kitin nbuke.
Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.
21 Inughe do kitin Filibus, ulenge na awa nuzu Nbaitanya Ngalili, itiringhe, iworo, “Cikilari tidi ninsu tiyene Yesu ku.”
They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
22 Yesu do adi bellin Andirawus ku, Andirawus nin Filibus do idi belin Yesu ku.
Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Yesu kawa nani, aworo, “Kube nda nworu iti Usaun Nnit gongong.
His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Kidegenere ndin bellu minu, se fimus ficikapa ndeo kutyin fiku, andi na nani ba, fiba lawu finin firume; ama andi fiku, fima nin maru imong iyip gbardang.
In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.
25 Ame ulenge na adi nin su nlai me ama diru unin; ame ulenge na anari ulai me nanya nle uye ma ciu unin ucin du ulai nsa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
26 Andi umong din sui katwa, na a dortui; kiti kanga na nduku, kikanere kucin ning ma yitu ku wang, andi umong din sui katwa, Uci ning ma ni unit une tikunang.
If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.
27 Ayi ning nana nene; Iyaghari mma bellu? 'Ucif sui utucu nanya kubi kone?' Bara ile imonere nda ko kube.
Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
28 Ucif, ta lissafe gonggong,” Liwui nuzu kitene kani liworo, “Nna ti lining gongong, nma kur nti lining gongon tutung.”
Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."
29 Ligozin nanite na iwa yissin kitene wa lanza i woro Kutelle tuto. Among woro, “Gono kadura Kutelleari nlirina ninghe.”
The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
30 Yesu kawa a woro, “Na liwui lole nda bara Menghari ba, ama bara anughere.
"It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.
31 Nenere idin shara in yii ulele; Nene ima ko unan tigo nyii ulele.
Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.
32 A Meng, asa ifyi nanya kutyin, nma wunnu anit vat udak kitining.”
And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."
33 Awa bellin nani adurso imus nkul ule na uma seghe.
He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
34 Ligozin kawaghe, iworo, “Tina lanza nanya nduka Kristi maso sa ligang. Iyiziari uworo, 'Ima fyu Usaun Nnit kitene gbas? Ghari Usaun Nnit une?” (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
35 Yesu woro nani, “Nkanang du kiti mine nin kubi bat. Sun ucin a nkanang dutu kiti mine, ana nsirti nsa da duru minu ba. Ulenge na adin cinu nanya nsirti na ayiru kiti kanga na adin cinu udue ba.
"Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
36 Yinnan a idutu nin kananghe, inan so nonon kanang.”
In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.
37 Vat nin nimon izikiki gbardang na Yesu wa su nbun mine, vat nin nani na iyinna ninghe ba.
But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
38 Bara ulirun Ishaya unan liru nin nuu Kutelle nan kulo, ule na awa woro: “Cikilari, ghari nyinna nin liru bite? Ucara Ncikilari ndurso liti kiti ghari?
in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
39 Bara ilenge imone na iwa yinnin ba, Ishaya wa kuru a belle.
For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
40 “Ana ti idu niyizi mine, amini na kuru ata nibinai mine getek; andi na nani ba, ima yenju nin niyizi mine, ikuru iyinnin nin nibinayi mine, inin kpilin, Meng nin shin ninghinu.”
"He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."
41 Ishaya wa belin ileli imone bara na awa yene ngongong Yesu asu uliru litime.
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
42 Vat nin nani, among gbardang wang nanya na didyawe wa yinin nin Yesu; ana bara a Farisawa na iwa yinin ba bara iwa kala nani nanya kutii nlira.
Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
43 Iwa di nin su nzazinu nanit ukatina nani uzazinu Kutelle.
For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
44 Yesu ghatina liwui kang aworo, “Ulenge na ayinna nin mi, na Menghari a yinna mun cas ba ama umunu ulenge na ana tuyi na wang,
But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
45 ulenge na ayenei, ayene ulenge na ana tuyi.
and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
46 Meng na dak nafo nkanang nanya nyii ulele bara vat nnit ule na ayinna nin mi ama lawu nanya nsirti ba.
I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
47 Asa umong lanza uliru nighe na asu katwa mun ba, na nma sughe ushara ba; bara na nna dak nsun yii ushara ba, nna dak ntucu uyere.
And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Ulenge na anari menku, amini nari userun nliru nighe di nin lenge na adin sughe ushara; ulirere na ndin bellu ma sughe ushara liri nimalin.
He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Na ndin liru litining ba. Nna din su un Cifning nin na ana tuyi, ulenge na ana nii likara nliru ule na nma bellu nin liru ule na nma su.
Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in what words to speak.
