Jean 11
1 Bez' e oa ur c'hlañvour, anvet Lazar, eus Betania, kêriadenn Mari ha Marta he c'hoar.
Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Mari a oa an hini a eoulias an Aotrou a c'hwez-vat, hag a dorchas e dreid gant he blev; ha Lazar, he breur, a oa klañv.
(It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)
3 Ar c'hoarezed eta a gasas da lavarout da Jezuz: Aotrou, an hini a garez a zo klañv.
So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."
4 Jezuz, o vezañ klevet kement-se, a lavaras: Ar c'hleñved-se n'eo ket d'ar marv, met evit gloar Doue eo, evit ma vo roet gloar da Vab Doue a gement-se.
Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
5 Jezuz a gare Marta, hag he c'hoar, ha Lazar.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Koulskoude, p'en devoa klevet penaos e oa klañv, e chomas daou zevezh c'hoazh el lec'h ma oa.
When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.
7 Neuze e lavaras d'e ziskibien: Distroomp e Judea.
Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea."
8 An diskibien a lavaras dezhañ: Mestr, ar Yuzevien a glaske, n'eus ket pell, da veinata, hag e tistroez a-nevez di!
"Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"
9 Jezuz a respontas dezho: Ha n'eus ket daouzek eur en deiz? Mar bale unan bennak e-pad an deiz, ne gouezh ket, abalamour ma wel sklêrijenn ar bed-mañ.
"Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees the light of this world.
10 Met mar bale unan bennak e-pad an noz, e kouezh, abalamour n'eus ket a sklêrijenn ennañ.
But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
11 Komz a reas evel-se, ha goude e lavaras dezho: Lazar, hor mignon, a gousk; met me a ya d'e zihuniñ.
He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
12 E ziskibien a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, mar kousk, e vo yac'haet.
"Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
13 Met Jezuz en devoa komzet eus marv Lazar; hag int a grede e komze eus diskuizh ar c'housked.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
14 Neuze Jezuz a lavaras dezho freals: Lazar a zo marv.
So then He told them plainly,
15 Hag ez eus joa ganin abalamour deoc'h, dre ne oan ket eno evit ma kredot; met deomp d'e gavout.
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him."
16 Tomaz, galvet Didim, a lavaras d'an diskibien all: Deomp, ni ivez, evit mervel gant Jezuz.
"Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "that we may die with him."
17 Jezuz, o vezañ erruet, a gavas Lazar er bez abaoe dija pevar devezh.
On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.
18 Betania a oa war-dro pemzek stadenn eus Jeruzalem,
Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;
19 ha kalz eus ar Yuzevien a oa deuet da-gichen Marta ha Mari, evit o frealziñ diwar-benn o breur.
and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
20 Pa ouezas Marta e teue Jezuz, ez eas a-raok dezhañ; met Mari a chomas azezet er gêr.
Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
21 Ha Marta a lavaras da Jezuz: Aotrou, ma vijes bet amañ, va breur ne vije ket marvet.
So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.
22 Met anavezout a ran penaos bremañ memes, holl gement a c'houlenni digant Doue, Doue en roio dit.
And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."
23 Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Da vreur a adsavo a varv.
"Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.
24 Marta a respontas dezhañ: Gouzout a ran ec'h adsavo da vev da adsavidigezh an deiz diwezhañ.
"I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."
25 Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Me eo an adsavidigezh hag ar vuhez; an hini a gred ennon a vevo, memes ha pa vefe marv.
"I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Hi a lavaras dezhañ: Ya, Aotrou, me a gred out ar C'hrist, Mab Doue, an hini a zlee dont er bed.
"Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
28 P'he devoe lavaret kement-se, ez eas hag e c'halvas Mari, he c'hoar, e-kuzh, hag e lavaras dezhi: Ar Mestr a zo amañ, hag e c'halv ac'hanout.
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you."
29 Houmañ, o vezañ klevet anezhi, a savas buan, hag a zeuas d'e gavout.
So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him.
30 Jezuz ne oa ket c'hoazh aet er bourc'h, bez' e oa el lec'h ma oa deuet Marta a-raok dezhañ.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
31 Yuzevien a oa gant Mari en ti, ouzh he frealziñ; pa weljont e oa savet ken buan, hag e oa aet er-maez, e heuilhjont anezhi, o lavarout: Mont a ra da ouelañ d'ar bez.
So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.
32 Pa voe deuet Mari el lec'h ma oa Jezuz, ha pa welas anezhañ, en em daolas d'e dreid, hag e lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, ma vijes bet amañ, va breur ne vije ket marvet.
Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
33 Pa welas Jezuz anezhi o ouelañ, ha penaos e ouele ivez ar Yuzevien a oa deuet ganti, e huanadas en e spered hag e voe trubuilhet;
Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,
34 neuze e lavaras: Pelec'h hoc'h eus e lakaet? Int a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, deus ha gwel.
though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.
35 Jezuz en em lakaas da ouelañ.
Jesus wept.
36 War gement-se ar Yuzevien a lavaras: Gwelit penaos e kare anezhañ.
"See how dear he held him," said the Jews.
37 Met hiniennoù anezho a lavaras: Eñ, an hini en deus digoret daoulagad an dall, ha ne c'hellje ket ober ivez na varvje ket hemañ?
But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?"
38 Neuze Jezuz, o huanadiñ a-nevez ennañ e-unan, a zeuas d'ar bez: ur c'hev e oa, hag ur maen a oa lakaet warnañ.
Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.
39 Jezuz a lavaras: Lamit ar maen. Marta, c'hoar an hini marv, a lavaras dezhañ: Aotrou, c'hwez fall a zo dija gantañ, rak aze emañ abaoe pevar deiz zo.
"Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
40 Jezuz a lavaras dezhi: Ne'm eus ket lavaret dit penaos, mar kredez, e weli gloar Doue?
"Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"
41 Lemel a rejont eta ar maen [eus al lec'h ma oa gourvezet an hini marv]. Ha Jezuz, o sevel e zaoulagad war-zu an neñv, a lavaras: Tad, da drugarekaat a ran eus ma ec'h eus va selaouet.
So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.
42 Gouzout a raen e selaouez ac'hanon atav, met e lavaret em eus abalamour d'ar bobl-mañ a zo en-dro din, evit ma kredo ec'h eus va degaset.
I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me."
43 P'en devoe lavaret kement-se, e krias a vouezh uhel: Lazar, deus er-maez!
After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 Hag an hini marv a zeuas er-maez, e zaouarn hag e dreid ereet gant bandennoù, hag e zremm goloet gant ul lienenn. Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Diereit anezhañ, ha lezit eñ da vont.
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."
45 Kalz eta a-douez ar Yuzevien a oa deuet da welout Mari, hag o devoa gwelet ar pezh en devoa Jezuz graet, a gredas ennañ.
Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;
46 Met hiniennoù anezho a yeas da gavout ar farizianed, hag a lavaras dezho ar pezh en devoa Jezuz graet.
though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.
47 Neuze ar veleien vras hag ar farizianed a zastumas ar sanedrin, hag a lavaras: Petra a raimp? Rak an den-se a ra kalz a virakloù.
Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
48 Mar en lezomp d'ober, an holl a gredo ennañ, hag ar Romaned a zeuio, hag a zistrujo al lec'h-mañ hag hor pobl.
If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."
49 Met Kaifaz, unan anezho, hag a oa beleg-meur er bloavezh-se, a lavaras dezho: C'hwi n'ouzoc'h netra;
But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.
50 ha ne soñjit ket eo gwelloc'h da un den hepken mervel evit ar bobl, eget na vefe kollet holl dud ar vro?
You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."
51 Hogen ne lavare ket kement-se anezhañ e-unan, met o vezañ beleg-meur er bloaz-se, e tiouganas penaos e tlee Jezuz mervel evit ar bobl;
It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus was to die for the nation,
52 ha n'eo ket hepken evit ar bobl, met ivez evit dastum en ur c'horf hepken bugale Doue a zo a-stlabez.
and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.
53 Adalek an deiz-se en em guzuilhjont evit e lakaat d'ar marv.
So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.
54 Dre-se Jezuz n'en em ziskoueze ket en un doare frank e-touez ar Yuzevien, met mont a reas ac'hane en ur vro tost d'al lec'h distro, d'ur gêr galvet Efraim; hag e chomas eno gant e ziskibien.
Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.
55 Pask ar Yuzevien a oa tost, ha kalz a dud eus ar vro a bigne da Jeruzalem a-raok ar Pask, evit en em c'hlanaat.
The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Klask a raent eta Jezuz, hag, oc'h en em zerc'hel en templ, e lavarent an eil d'egile: Petra a soñjit? Ne zeuio ket d'ar gouel?
They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
57 Met ar veleien vras hag ar farizianed o devoa roet urzh, penaos ma ouije unan bennak pelec'h e oa, ra en diskuilhje, evit ma krogjed ennañ.
Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
