John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
Bilumbu bisambanu bisiala muingi nyengo Pasika wuba, Yesu wuyenda ku Betani kuba Lazale mutu wowo kafulukisa.
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.
Banlambila ndikulu yinneni. Malata wuba tudila bidia va meza; Lazale mamvandi wuba wumosi mu bawu bavuanda yandi va meza.
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.
Maliya wubonga ndambu yi lita yi malasi, makambu sobukusu, mathalumavangulu mu nale wudukula mawu mu malu ma Yesu, wufiona malu mandi muzitsuki ziandi. Nzo yoso yimana wala tsudi malasi.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
Wumosi mu minlonguki miandi, Yuda Isikalioti wukana kumvakula, wutuba:
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
—Bila mbi kadi kuandi sumbisa malasi beni mu zikhama zitatu zi denali, bosi yeka vana zimbongo beni kuidi minsukami e?
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.
Wutubila bobo bika sia mu diambu di kabela minsukami mayinduvayi wutubila bobo bila wuba muivi, niandi wuba lundanga kesi ya zimbongo ayi wuba yibanga zimbongo ziozi ziba tulungu muna.
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Yesu wutuba: —Lumbika, bila lundidi mawu mu diambu di lumbu ki nzikuluꞌama.
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
Bila minsukami midi yeno mu zithangu zioso va kimosi vayi beno lulendi kalanga yama mu zithangu zioso ko!
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.
Nkangu wunneni mu bayuda bazaba ti Yesu widi kuna, buna bayiza kuna, bika sia ti mudiambu di tala Yesu kaka vayi muingi bamona Lazale mutu wowo Yesu kafulukisa.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
Buna bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi zikutakana mu diambu di vondisa Lazale.
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
Bila mu diambu diandi Bayuda bawombo batina ayi bawilukila 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,
Lumbu kilanda, nkangu wu batu wuyiza ku nyengo bu wuwa ti Yesuwulembo yizi ku Yelusalemi;
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!”
buna babonga mandalala ayi bayenda ku ntualꞌandi bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —Ozana! Bika kasakumuna mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu, Ntinu wu Iseli.
14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
Yesu bu kamona muana phunda wuvuanda va mbata phunda beni banga busonimina:
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
Bika kuaku mona boma ngeyo muana ndumba wu Sioni Tala ntinuꞌaku wizidi, buna kavuendi va mbata muana phunda.
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.
Minlonguki miandi misia tuama zaba ko tsundu mambu momo. Vayi Yesu bu kamana kemboso, bosi mitebuka moyo ti mambu beni momo masonama mu diambu diandi ayi bavanga mambu momo mu diambu diadi.
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.
Nkangu wowo wuba yandi wuntelimina kimbangi mu diambu katotula Lazale mu ziami ayi mu diambu kamfulukisa mu bafua.
18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
Diawu diodi bawombo bayiza ku ntualꞌandi mu kundengana bu bawa ti niandi wuvanga kumu kioki.
19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
Bafalisi bakambasana bawu na bawu: —Lulembo moni ti lulendi nunga ko! Bila tala batu boso balembo nlandakana.
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
Basi Ngelesi bankaka bayiza mu sambila ku Yelusalemi mu lumbu ki nyengo,
21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
bayenda bata Filipi muisi Betesayida; divula didi mu tsi Ngalili, banleba ayi bankamba: —Tata, tutidi mona Yesu!
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Filipi wuyenda ayi wukamba buawu Andele. Andele va kimosi ayi Filipi bayiza kamba buawu yesu.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Thangu yifueni yoyi Muana Mutu yikafueti kembosolo.
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.
Bukiedika, bukiedika ndikulukamba enati luteti lu ble lolo lubuidi va ntoto lukadi bola, buna luidi kaka luawu veka. Vayi enati lubodidi buna lumbutanga zitheti ziwombo.
25 Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Woso mutu wunzola luzingu luandi, wela luzimbisa vayi woso wunlenda luzingu luandi va ntoto wawu wela lulunda mu diambu di luzingu lukalumani. (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.
Woso wukutsadila, bika kandandakana. Ayi koso ku ndidi kuna kuela ba kisadi kiama. Tata wela kinzika woso wu kutsadila.
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.
Buabu muelꞌamam weka kiadi kiwombo. Mbi mfueti tuba e? Tata, wukhula mu thangu yayi. Vayi ndiyizila mu diambu di thangu yayi.
28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Tata, kembisa dizina diaku! Muna thangu beni, mbembo yiba ku Diyilu yiwakana: —Minu ndikembisa diawu ayi ndiela buela kudikembisa diaka.
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.”
Nkangu wu batu baba vana bawa mbembo beni, batuba ti: —Yibedi nzazi. Vayi bankaka batuba ti: —Mbasi yiza kunyolukila.
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Mbembo yisi wakakana mu diambu diama ko vayi yiwakikini mu diambu dieno.
31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
Buabu tsambusulu yi nza yayi yifueni; buabu pfumu yi nza yayi lozolo ku nganda.
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
Minu bu ndiela tombolo ku diyilu, buna ndiela tuta batu boso kuidi minu.
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
Yesu wutuba mambu momo mu diambu di monisa phila lufua kela fuila.
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)
Nkangu wumvutudila: —Beto tuzebi mu Mina ti Klisto kafueti zinga mu zithangu zioso. Vayi buna buevi ngeyo wuntubila ti Muana Mutu kafueti tombulu ku Diyilu e? Buna nani Muana mutu beni e? (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.
Yesu wuba kamba: —Mu thangu yifioti kaka, kiezila kididi va khatitsikꞌeno buna bika ludiata bu luki ayi kiezila muingi tombi kibika kulubuila. Bila woso wundiatila mu tombi kakadi zaba kuevi keti kuenda.
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.
Sumbu lukidi ayi kiezila buna luwilukila mu kiezila muingi beno luba bana ba kiezila. Yesu wutuba mambu momo, wuyenda, wusuama va meso mawu.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
Ka diambu ko Yesu wuvanga bikumu biwombo va meso mawu vayi bamanga ku nwilukila.
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?”
Buawu bobo budedikinina mambu mabikula mbikudi Ezayi: Pfumu, nani wuwilukila mambu momo kawa kuidi beto e? Ayi kuidi nani kumonikinina lulendo lu Pfumu e?
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
Diawu balendi wilukila ko bila Ezayi wubuela bikula:
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.”
Niandi wuvonda meso mawu Ayi wukitula mintima miawu matadi muingi babika mona ayi babika sudika mu mintima miawu mu diambu babika balula mavanga; muingi ndiedi kuba belusa.
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
Ezayi wutubila bobo mu diambu kamona nkemo wu Yesu ayi wuyolukila mu diambu diandi.
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.
Muaki bawombo mu bapfumu zi Bayuda bawilukila Yesu vayi bamanga kuditelimina kimbangi mu diambu di Bafalisi bedi ku batotula mu nzo yi lukutukunu.
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
Bila baluta zola nkembo wu batu bika nkembo wu Nzambi.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
Yesu wutuba mu ndinga yingolo: —Woso wunguilukidi buna bika sia ti minu veka kawilukidi vayi wilukidi diaka mutu wowo wuthuma.
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
Woso mutu wumbueni, mueni mutu wuthuma.
46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
Minu ndiyiza va nza banga kiezila mu diambu di woso mutuwukunguilukila kabika ba mu tombi.
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.
Woso mutu wulembo wi mambu mama vayi kakadi kumasadila, ndilendi kunsambisa ko bila ndisia kuiza mu diambu di sambisa nza ko vayi ndiyiza mu diambu di vukisa nza.
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.
Woso wu kundoza ayi wunkamba tambula mambu mama beki zuzi diandi. Mambu momo ndituba mawu mela kunsambisa mu lumbu kitsuka.
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.
Bila ndisia tubila mu luzolo luama veka ko vayi mu luzolo lu Dise diodi dithuma. Niandi veka wuthumina mambu momo mfueti tuba ayi buevi mfueti tubila.
