John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
Mpokwalashala masuba asanu nebumo kwambeti Pasika ishike, Yesu walaya ku Betaniya, uko kwalikuba Lazalo usa ngwalapundusha kubafu.
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.
Balamubambila cakulya cakulemeka Yesu, ico Malita ncalabanyamfwilisha kutebeta. Lazalo walikubapo mpobalikulya pamo ne Yesu.
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.
Lino Maliya walamanta libotolo lyamafuta anunkila nado, adula cikamba nekutatika kunanika myendo ya Yesu, kapukutisha nemishishi yakendi. Lino bantu balikuba mung'anda balanyumfwa bwema bwamafutayo.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
Nomba Yuda Isikalioti, umo wa beshikwiya baYesu, uyo panyuma pakendi walamuyaba kubalwani bakendi, walambeti,
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
“Nomba nicani mafuta awa uliya kwaulisha mali a muwayawaya akwana 300 kwambeti apewe kubantu bapenga?”
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.
Uku nkakwalikuba kwambeti usuni bapenga sobwe, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti walikuba kabwalala. Nendi ewalikusunga mali nekwibamo.
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Yesu walambeti, “mulekeni abike mafuta awa kushikila busuba bwa kubikwa mumanda kwakame.
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
Pakwinga bantu bapenga nimubenga nabo cindi conse, nomba ame nteshi mubenganga pamo nenjame cindi conse.”
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.
Bantu bangi mpobalanyumfweti Yesu uli kuBetaniya, nabo balayako. Baliya kuya pacebo caYesu enka sobwe, nsombi balayakubona Lazaro ngwalapundusha kubafu.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
Weco bamakulene beshimilumbo balapangana shakwambeti Lazaro neye bamushine,
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
Pakwinga pacebo ca Lazaro bantu bangi bali kubashiya nekushoma Yesu.
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,
Busuba bwalakonkapo bantu bangi balesa akusekelela Pasika, balanyumfweti Yesu lesanga kuYelusalemu.
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!”
Neco balamanta misampi yamalala nekuya akukumana nendi. Kabolobesheti, “Bulemu kuli Lesa! Walelekwa uyo lesanga mulina lya Mwami! Alelekwe Mwami wa Islaeli!”
14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
Yesu walatanta mwana wa mbongolo ngobalamuletela, mbuli Mabala ncalambangeti,
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
Kotatina, obe munshi wa Siyoni. “Bona, Mwami wakobe lesanga, watanta mwana wa mbongolo.”
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.
Pacindico beshikwiya bakendi baliya kunyumfwishisha. Nsombi Yesu mpwalapunduka nebulemu, empobalanuka kwambeti ibi byalembwa muMabala byalikwamba endiye, nekwambeti balamwinshila bintu ibi.
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.
Bantu balikuba neYesu mpwalakuwa Lazaro mumanda nekumupundusha kubafu nabo balapitilisha kwamba pabintu mbyobalabona.
18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
Ecebo cakendi bantu ncebalayilakukumana nendi, pakwinga balanyumfwa ceshikukankamanisha ncalensa.
19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
Popelapo Bafalisi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Bonani afwe paliya ncetulenshinga, pakwinga bantu bonse balafwambilinga kulyendiye.”
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
Nomba kwalikuba Bagiliki nabambi pakati pabantu balaya kuYelusalemu akupaila pacindi cakusekelela.
21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
Ba Giliki balayakubona Filipo, waku Betisaida muGalileya. Balamusengeti, “nkambo tulayandanga kubona Yesu.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Filipo walambila Ndileya, bonse babili balaya akwambila Yesu.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
Yesu walambeti, “Cilashiki cindi cakwambeti Mwana Muntu atambule bulemu bwakendi.
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.
Kwamba cakubinga, imbuto ya witi yabula kubyalwa mubulongo nekufwa ikute kaili imo imo. Nomba yafukilwa, ikute kukula nekusema bisepo bingi.
25 Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Muntu usuni buyumi bwakendi, nakabutaye, nsombi uyo utabusuni buyumi bwakendi mucishi cino nakapewe buyumi butapu. (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.
Muntu layandanga kunsebensela, ankonkele, kwambeti musebenshi wakame akabe nenjame kulikonse nkotinkabenga. Muntu asebensela ame, Bata nibakamupe bulemu.”
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.
“Lino ndapengenga mumoyo. Nomba ng'ambe cani? Sena ng'ambeti, ‘Bata kamumpulusha pacindici ku mapensho alesanga pantangu? Nomba sobwe, pakwinga encondaleshila.
28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Bata kamulemekani Lina lyenu.” Popelapo kwalanyumfwika Maswi kwilu akwambeti, “ndalilemeke, kayi nimpitilishe kulilemeka.”
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.”
Lino likoto linene lyabantu mpolyalanyumfwa maswi awo, balambeti, “Nimukunkumo wa mfula.” Nomba nabambi balambeti, “Nimungelo wambanga nendi.”
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
Yesu walabambileti, “Maswi aliyakunyumfwika pacebo ca Njame sobwe, nsombi nakumunyamfwa.
31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
Lino ecindi cakwambeti cishi capanshi comboloshewe. Lino Satana, mwami wa cishi capanshi, Lesa namuwale kunsa.
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
Nomba ndakanyamunwa pelu, ninkabunganye bantu bonse kuli njame.”
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
Yesu walamba maswi awa kwambeti abaleshe mushobo walufu ndoshi akafwe nalo.
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)
Bantu basa balamwambileti, “Milawo yetu ikute kwambeti Mupulushi Walaiwa nakabengapongowa. Nomba amwe mulambilingeti Mwana Muntu welela kunyamunwa pelu Mwana Muntu wopeloyo niyani?” (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.
Lino Yesu walambeti, “Mumuni ucili pakati penu kwacindi cing'ana. Kamwendani, mu mumuni nkauciliko, mushinshe nkautamukoma. Pakwinga uliyense lendenga mumushinshe nkakute kwinshiba nkwalenga.
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.
Kamushomani mumuni kaucili nenjamwe kwambeti mube bantu bamunikilwa.” Yesu mpwalapwisha kwamba makani awa walafumapo nekuya kumusena nkobatenshi.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
Nambi Yesu walensa byeshikukankamanisha bingi, nsombi nabo baliya kumushoma.
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?”
Ici calenshika mbuli ncalamba mushinshimi Yesaya, “Mwami, niyani lashomo kukambauka kwetu? Niyani labono ngofu sha Mwami?”
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
Neco nkamwalashoma pakwinga mbuli Yesaya kayi walambeti,
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.”
“Lesa walabapofola menso, nekuyumisha mitwi yabo, cakwambeti menso abo nkacikonsho kubona, nambi kwishiba nemyoyo yabo. Nambi kusandukila kuli njame kwambeti ndibasengule.”
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
Yesaya mpwalikwamba maswi awa, walikwamba sha Yesu, pacebo cakwambeti walabona bulemu bwakendi.
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.
Nomba nikukabeco batangunishi babo bangi balashoma Yesu. Nsombi pacebo ca kutina Bafalisi kwambeti ngababatandanya mu libungano, nkabalikwambila bantu patuba.
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
Balikusuna kulumbwa kubantu kupita kulumbwa ne Lesa.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
Neco Yesu walamba mwakolobesheti, “Muntu lanshomonga, nkalashomonga ame ndenka sobwe, nsombi lashomonga uyo walantuma.
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
Kayi muntu labononga ame, labononga uyo walantuma.
46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
Ame njame mumuni, kayi ndalesa panshi pano, kwambeti uliyense lanshomo akabule kwikala mumushinshe.
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.
Muntu anyumfwa maswi akame nomba ubula kwanyumfwa, nteshinkamomboloshe pakwinga ndiya kwisa kombolosha cishi, nsombi kwisa kupulusha.
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.
Muntu lankananga, kayi labulunga kutambula maswi akame, mpwali weshakamomboloshe. Maswi ngondamba eshakamupeshe mulandu pa busuba bwakupwililisha!
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.
Ici nicakubinga pakwinga nkankute kwambowa bintu mukuyeya kwakame, nsombi Bata balantuma ebalang'ambila byakwamba, ne mwakwambila.
