John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
Linu mukwame zumwi yabali kusumpwa chezina lya Lazaro yabali kulwala. yaba kuzwa mwa Betenia, mumunzi mwabali kwikala Maria ni mukulwe Mareta.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
nji Maria yaba singi Simwine mafuta esende ni kumupemula kumatende ninsuki zakwe, imi Lazaro yabali kulwala ibala nchizyakwe.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
Linu banchizyakwe nichibatumina iñusa kwa Jesu, nibacho, “Simwine, bone, iye yosaka ahulu ulwala.”
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
Linu Jesu hazuwa bulyo, nati, Uku kulwala kahena kufwa, kono bwakubonisa maata a Simwine chobulyo nimwana wa Ireeza uswanela kulumbekwa kachibatendahali.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Linu Jesu abali kusaka ahulu Mareta ni mwanchakwe ni Lazaro bulyo.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
Chobulyo hazuwa kulwala kwa Lazaro, Jesu abekali mazuba amwi obele muchibaka mwabekele.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
Linu hakumana bulyo, Chowamba kuba rutwana bakwe, “Twende tuye kwa Judea hape.”
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Barutwana chibawamba kwali, “Muruti, munako inu Majuda basaka kukugobola nimabwe, linu iwe usaka kubola kwateni hape?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
Jesu nichati, kahena kuti inhola zitenda ikumi ni obele eseli mwizuba? Linu zumwi muntu hayenda musihali, keti aholofale kapa kusitatala kakuti ubwene mwahitite cha liseli lyefasi.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
Nihakuba bulyo, hayenda masiku, mwasitatale kakuli iseli kalina mwali.”
11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
Nichawamba izi zintu, linu hamana izo zintu, nichabawambila, “Mulikanetu Lazaro chalala, kono nikaya ili kuti nikamubuse.”
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
Barutwana linu chibawamba kwali, “Simwine, haiba ulele, mwabe nenza.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
Linu Jesu chabataluseza kuamana niifu, Chobulyo abo babali kuhupula kuti uwamba iñonzi zakulikatulusa.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
Linu Jesu nichabataluseza, “Lazaru ufwile.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
Nisangite, kebaka lyenu, kuti kana nibena kwateni kokuti nimubazumini. Twende kwali.”
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
Tomasi yaba kunsumpwa Didima, chawamba ku Barutwana, “Tuyende naswe tukafwe ni Jesu.”
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
Linu Jesu hakeza, neza kuwana kuti Lazaro chowina kale mwikumbu chamazuba onee.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
Linu Betania ibena hembali ni Jerusalema, kazibima zotatwe.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
Bungi bwa Majuda babali kwiza kwa Mareta ni Maria, kubaombaomba kuamana ni nchinzabo.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Linu Mareta, hazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite, nichibaka mukatanyeza, cobulyo Maria abekele munzubo.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
Mareta linu chawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, kapa kobena kunu, nchizyangu nasena bafwi.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
Nangati hanu, nizi kuti chimwi nichimwi chokumbila kwa Ireeza, mwakuhe.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesu chawamba kwali, “Nchizyako mwabuke hape.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Mareta chawamba kwali, “Nizi kuti mwabuke hape he henzuho luzuba lwamamani mani.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
Jesu chawamba kwali, “Njeme ni nzuho ni buhalo; yense yozumina kwangu, niha fwa, mwa hale;
chobulyo yense yohala ni kuzumina kwangu keti nafwe. Na muzumina iyi ndaba?” (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
Nichawamba kwali, “Ee, Nfumwangu, nizumina kuti njewe Kreste, mwana we Ireeza, yokezite mwi nkanda.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
Hamana kuwamba izi, chozwa mwateni nikusumpa mwanchakwe Maria kakuli ungula. chamuwambila, “Muruti chasika mi ukusumpa.”
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
Linu hazuwa bulyo, chonyamuka kapili nikuya kwali.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
Linu Jesu kanabeni kusika mumunzi abali kusina kuchibaka kwaba kamukatanyezi Mareta.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
Imi Majuda, babena naye mwinzubo babali kumuomba omba nibabona Maria hanyamuka kapili pili kuzwila hanze, chiba mwichilila, kuhupula kuti chokaya kwikumbu aka siliseze kwateni.
32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.”
Linu Maria, hakeza kwabekele Jesu imi namubona, chowila hamatende akwe ni kumuwambila, “Simwine, kapa kobena kunu, nchinzyangu nasena abafwi,”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
Linu Jesu chamubona nasilisa, imi ni Mujuda wakeza naye chokwete usilisa,
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
chabahinditwe muluhuho lwakwe mi abali kubilela; chawamba, “Mubamulaziki kuhi?” Niba mwitaba, “Nfumwangu, wize zo bone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu nasilisa.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
Linu Majuda cibawamba, Mubone mwaba kusakila Lazaru!”
37 Some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
Imi bamwi chibawamba, “Kanjiyena uzu mukwame, yabeyaluli menso amukwame wamuhofu, hape ibaleti kuti uzu mukwame kuti afwe?”
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Linu Jesu hape, nalizuwa kutomoha inkulo hape, nayenda kwikumbu. linu chibali ilindi, imi ibwe libatulitwe hateni.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
Jesu nati, “Muzwise hateni ibwe.” Mareta, nchinzye wa Lazaro, iye yofwile, nawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, cheinu inako chitupu chichinunka, kakuti chikwahinda mazuba onee kuzwa habafwili.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Did not I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
Linu Jesu nati kwali, Naa kana nibakuwambili kuti, heba uzumina, mokabone mubuso wa Ireeza?”
41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
Linu chibazwisa ibwe hekumbu. Jesu nakatula menso akwe kulola kwiulu imi nati, “Tate, Nilitumela kakuti wateka kwangu.
42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
Nizi kuti utekanga kwangu inako yonse, kono niwamba bulyo kebaka lyekunga linizimbulukite kunibika mukati, ili kuti bazumine kuti ubanitumi.”
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Chobulyo nawamba buti, nahuweleza chalizwi lizuweka ahulu, “Lazaro, wize hanze!”
44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
Mukwame yabafwile nazwa mwikumbu; matende akwe nimayanza abali kuzingeletwe masila. Jesu nawamba kubali, “Mumusumunune imi mumusiye ayende.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
Linu bungi bwa Majuda babakezi kwa Maria imi nibabona zabatendi Jesu, niba zumina kwali,
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
kono bamwi mukati kabo chibayenda ku Bafalisi imi chibakawamba zabatendi Jesu.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
Cwale mapurita bakulwana ni Bafalisi chibakopanya inkuta hamwina imi nibawamba, “Mutupange chihi? Uzu mukwame upanga imakazo zingi.
48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
heba mutumusiye yenke sina buti, bonse mubazumine kwali; Maroma mubatunyange minzi yetu yonse ni nkanda yetu.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
Nihakuba bulyo, zumwi mukwame mukati kabo, Kayafa, yabali muprisita mukulwana mwecho chilimo, nati kubali, “Kakwina chimwizi.
50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
Kamubwene kuti kulotu nibutuka kuti mukwame yenke afwile chichaba kundeye kuti inkanda yonse imaniswe.”
51 Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
Lyahanu izi zawamba kazizwi kwali mwine. kono, kakuti abali muprisita mukulwana icho chilimo, aba polofiti kuti Jesu mwafwile inkanda;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
kono isini inkanda bulyo imi kono kuti bana ba Ireeza bahasene bekale hamwina kalusika lonke.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
Linu kuzwa ulo luzuba niba zuminzana mwete behaile Jesu.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
Kelyo ibaka Jesu nasiya kuyenda mukati ka Majuda nibamubwene, imi chozwa mweyo inkanda nikuya mwihalaupa mumuleneñi wa Efraimi. Uko abakekali ni barutwana.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Lyahanu i Paseka ya Majuda chibena hafuhi, imi bungi bwabo nibaya mwa Jerusalema kuzwa mwinkanda i Paseka niseni kusika kuti bakalijoloze abo bene.
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?”
Babali kukabulola Jesu, imi nibena mwi Tempele nibakwete balibuza buza, “Muhupula bule? Na sanzi akezi kumukiti?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
Linu muprisita mukulwana ni Bafalisi niba hewa mulao kuti haiba kwina yowizi kwena Jesu, uswanela kuwamba ili kuti bamukwate.
