John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
Malatsi a le marataro pele ga meletlo ya Tlolaganyo e simologa, Jesu a goroga mo Bethania kwa Lasaro monna yo a mo rudisitseng a neng a le teng.
2 And they made a dinner for him there. And Martha was ministering. And truly, Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at table with him.
Mme Jesu a baakanyediwa modiro wa tlotlo teng. Maratha a ba tsholela mme Lasaro ene a nna le bone kwa lomating lwa bojelo (tafole).
3 And then Mary took twelve ounces of pure spikenard ointment, very precious, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Mme Marea a tsaya setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo se dirilwe ka dinkgisamonate a tlotsa dinao tsa ga Jesu ka sone, a bo a di phimola ka moriri wa gagwe. Mme ntlo ya tlala monkgo o o monate wa setlolo.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
Mme Judase Isekariota, mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, ene yo o tlaa mo okang, a re,
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
“Setlolo seo se ne se lekanye madi a mantsi. Se ka bo se rekisitswe mme madi a sone a abelwa bahumanegi.”
6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.
E ne e se gore ka go bua jalo o gopotse go tlhokomela bahumanegi, gonne o ne a le mmei wa madi a barutwa mme o ne a tle a a utswe a a dirise mo ditirong tsa gagwe!
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Mo tlogele. O dirile jalo e le paakanyetso ya phitlho ya me.
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
Lo ka aga lo thusa bahumanegi, mme nna ga ke na go nna le lona ka lobaka lo loleele.”
9 Now a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was in that place, and so they came, not so much because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Erile fa ba e leng batho fela ba Jerusalema ba utlwalela ka kgorogo ya gagwe ba itlhaganela ka bontsintsi go ya go mmona le go bona Lasaro, monna yo o rudileng.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
Mme ditlhogo tsa baperesiti tsa ikaelela go bolaya le Lasaro,
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
gonne e ne e le ka ntlha ya ga Lasaro gore baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba tlogele Sejuta ba dumele mo go Jesu e le Mesia wa bone.
12 Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Letsatsi le le latelang, dikgang tse di reng Jesu o mo tseleng ya Jerusalema tsa anama mo motseng, mme bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa baeti ba Tlolaganyo,
13 took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!”
jwa tsaya dikala tsa makolane mme jwa fologela mo tseleng go mo kgatlhantsha ba goa ba re, “Mmoloki! Modimo segofatsa Kgosi ya Iseraele! A go bakwe moemedi wa Modimo!”
14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
Jesu a tsamaya a palame tonkana, a diragatsa seporofeso se se reng
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
“Se boifeng Kgosi ya lona, batho ba Iseraele, gonne e tlaa tla kwa go lona ka boingotlo, e palame tonkana!”
16 At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.
(Barutwa ba gagwe ba seka ba lemoga ka nako eo gore se e ne e le tiragatso ya seporofeso; mme morago ga Jesu a boela kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong, ba simolola go lemoga gore go setse go diragetse diporofeso di le kae tsa lokwalo mo matlhong a bone).
17 And so the crowd that had been with him, when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, offered testimony.
Mme ba ba mo bontsintsing joo ba ba neng ba bonye Jesu a tsosa Lasaro mo baswing ba ne ba bolela gotlhe ka gone.
18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
Ke sone se batho ba le bantsi ba neng ba ya go mo kgatlhantsha, gonne ba ne ba utlwile kgakgamatso e tona eo.
19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
Mme Bafarasai ba raana ba re, “Re fentswe. Bonang, lefatshe lotlhe le mo setse morago!”
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
Bagerika bangwe ba ba neng ba tsile mo Jerusalema go obama mo Tlolaganyong,
21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
ba etela Filipo yo a neng a tswa Bethesaida, mme ba feta ba re, “Rara, re batla go rakana le Jesu.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Filipo a bolelela Anderea ka gone, mme ba tsamaya botlhe go kopa Jesu.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
Jesu a ba fetola ka gore nako e mo gorogetse ya go boela kwa kgalalelong ya gagwe kwa legodimong, le gore, “Ke tshwanetse go wa ka swa jaaka tlhaka ya mabele e e welang mo mmung wa boleme. Fa ke sa swe, ke tlaa nna ke le nosi, peo e e yosi. Mme loso lwa me lo tlaa tlhogisa ditlhaka tsa mabele di le dintsi, thobo e kgolo ya matshelo a masha.
24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields much fruit.
25 Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Fa lo rata botshelo jwa lona mono lefatsheng, bo tlaa lo latlhegela. Mme fa lo nyatsa botshelo jwa lona mono lefatsheng, o tlaa bo ananya ka kgalalelo ya bosakhutleng. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him.
“Fa e le gore Bagerika ba, ba batla go nna barutwa ba me, ba boleleleng gore ba tle ba ntshale morago, gonne batlhanka ba me ba tshwanetse go nna kwa ke teng. Mme fa ba ntshala morago, Rara o tlaa ba tlotla
27 Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this reason that I came to this hour.
Jaanong mowa wa me o tshwenyegile thata. A nka rapela ka re, ‘Rara, mpoloka mo go se se nkemeng pele?’ Mme ke lone lebaka le ke le tletseng!
28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Rara, galaletsa leina la gago o bo o le tlotle.” Mme ga bua lentswe le tswa kwa legodimong le re, “Ke setse ke dirile jalo, mme ke tlaa dira jalo gape.”
29 Therefore, the crowd, which was standing near and had heard it, said that it was like thunder. Others were saying, “An Angel was speaking with him.”
Erile fa bontsintsi jwa batho bo utlwa lentswe, bangwe ba bone ba gopola gore ke tladi, fa ba bangwe bone ba re ke moengele o buile nae.
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Lentswe leo ga le a tla ka ntlha ya me, mme e leng ka ntlha ya lona.
31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
Lobaka lwa katlholo ya lefatshe lo gorogile, le nako ya fa Satane, Kgosana ya lefatshe leno a tlaa kgoromelediwang ntle.
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
Mme fa ke tsholediwa (mo mokgorong) ke tlaa gogela mongwe le mongwe kwa go nna?”
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
O ne a bua jaana go supa ka fa o tlaa swang ka teng.
34 The crowd answered him: “We have heard, from the law, that the Christ remains forever. And so how can you say, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of man?” (aiōn g165)
Bontsintsi jwa botsa jwa re, “Go swa? Re utlwile gore Mesia o tlaa tshela ka bosakhutleng mme ga a kitla a a swa. Ke eng fa o re o tlaa swa? O bua kaga. Mesia ofe?” (aiōn g165)
35 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. But whoever walks in darkness does not know where is he going.
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Lesedi la me le tlaa lo phatsimela ka lobakanyana. Tsamayang mo go lone lo sa ntse lo ka kgona, mme lo ye kwa lo batlang go ya teng pele ga lefifi le tla, gonne ka nako eo lobaka lo tlaa bo lo setse lo fetile thata gore lo bone tsela ya lona.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light.” Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.
Dirisang Lesedi nako e sa le teng; ka go dira jalo lo tlaa nna batsamaisi ba lesedi.” Morago ga a bua dilo tse, Jesu a tsamaya mme a ba iphitlhetse.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
Mme le fa a ne a dirile dikgakgamatso tse tsotlhe, batho ba le bantsi ba ne ba sa dumele gore ke Mesia.
38 so that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: “Lord, who has believed in our hearing? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Ke sone tota se Isaia o se porofetileng a re: “Morena, re tlaa dumelwa ke mang? E mang yo o tlaa tsayang dikgakgamatso tsa Modimo tse di tona e le bosupi?”
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
Mme ba ne ba seka ba dumela, fela jaaka Isaia le ene a ne a rile:
40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them.”
“Modimo o foufaditse matlho a bone o bile o thatafaditse dipelo tsa bone gore ba seka ba bona le fa e le go tlhaloganya e se re kgotsa ba sokologela kwa go nna gore ke ba fodise.”
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
Isaia o ne a raya Jesu fa a porofeta jaana, gonne o ne a bonye ponatshego ya kgalalelo ya ga Mesia.
42 Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.
Le fa go ntse jalo, le baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba le bantsi ba ne ba dumela mo go ene gore ke Mesia mme legale ba ne ba sa dumele fa ba na le batho ka ntlha ya go tshaba go kgaolwa ke Bafarasai mo tlung ya ga Jehofa;
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
gonne ba ne ba rata kgalaletso ya batho bogolo go kgalaletso ya Modimo.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
Mme Jesu a goela kwa bontsintsing a re, “Fa lo ntumela lo dumela Modimo.
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
Gonne fa lo mpona, lo bona ene yo o nthomileng.
46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
Ke tsile ke le Lesedi go phatsima mo lefatsheng leno le le lefifi gore botlhe ba ba dumelang mo go nna ba seka ba tlhola ba tsamaya mo lefifing.
47 And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
Mme le fa e le mang yo o nkutlwang mme a sa nkobamele, ga ke moatlhodi wa gagwe, gonne ke tletse go boloka lefatshe eseng go le atlhola.
48 Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
Mme botlhe ba ba nkganang le molaetsa wa me, ba tlaa atlholwa ka Letsatsi la Katlholo ka mafoko a boammaaruri a ke a buileng.
49 For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
Gonne se ga se tlhaloganyo ya me, mme ke lo boleletse se Rara a rileng ke se lo bolelele.
50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.” (aiōnios g166)
Mme ke itse gore ditaolo tsa gagwe di gogela kwa botshelong jo bo sa khutleng; jalo sengwe le sengwe se a reng ke se bue, ke a se bua!” (aiōnios g166)
