< John 11 >

1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters Mary and Martha.
Umong unit unan lissan Laazaru wadi nin konu. Ame unit Nbaitanyari, kagbirin Maryamu nin gwane Marta.
2 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.
Maryamu une na awa tintilo nnuf kunya kumang nabunun Cikilare awese abune nin titime, gwanemere wadi Laazaru unan kone.
3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus: “Lord, your close friend is sick.”
Nuane nishono to kitin Yesu iworoghe, “Cikilari, yene ame ulenge na udi nin suwe dinin konu.”
4 When Jesus heard the news he said, “The end result of this sickness will not be death. Through this God's glory will be revealed so that the Son of God may be glorified.”
Na Yesu nlanza, a woro, “Na ule ukone unkulari ba, umana so un gongong Kutelleari, bara usaun Kutelle nan se ngongong kitenen nin.”
5 Even though Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
Yesu wayita nin sun Marta nin gwane kishono a Lazaru.
6 and had heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained where he was for two more days.
Na awa lanza Lanzaru di nin konu, Yesu kpina ayiri aba kiti kanga na awa yita ku.
7 Then he told the disciples, “Let's return to Judea.”
Kimal nani, aworo nono katwawe “Cannari tido u Yahudiya tutung.”
8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, just a few days ago the Jews were trying to stone you. Do you really want to go back there now?”
Nono katwawe woroghe, “Rabi, na udandauna ba, na a Yahudawa nyita nin su iffillusu fi, umini di nin su ukpili kite tutungha?”
9 “Aren't there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus replied.
Yesu kwana, a woro, “Na abiri kubi likureari di nanya liyirin ba? Asa umong din cin nin liring, na ama tiru ba, bara na adin yenju kiti kanang nin liring.
10 “If you walk during the day you don't stumble because you can see where you're going by the light of this world. But if you walk during the night you stumble because you have no light.”
Nanya nani, as adin cin nin kitik, aba tiru bara na nkanang di ninghe ba.”
11 After telling them this, he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm going to go there and wake him up!”
Yesu wa bellin uleli ulire, kimal nleli ulire, aworo nani, “Udondong bite Laazaru ndo nmoro, mma du nnan di fyaghe nmore.”
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he's sleeping then he'll get better.”
Nono katwawe tunna iworoghe, “Cikilari, andi nmoroari adi mum, ama fitu.'
13 Jesus had been referring to the death of Lazarus, but the disciples thought he meant actual sleep.
Yesu wasu uliru nbellen nkul Laazaruari, inung wa su adin liru nmoro nshinuari.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Yesu nin belle nani kanang, “Laazaru nku.
15 For your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, because now you will be able to trust in me. Let's go and see him.”
Nlanza nmang bara anughe, na nni yita kite ba anung nan yinna. Cannari tido kitime.”
16 Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, “Let's go too so we can die with him.”
Tuma, ulenge na iwa yiccughe fibari, woro nadon katwa me, “Na arik wang do ligowe tinan ku ligowe nan Yesu.”
17 When he arrived, Jesus learned that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
Na Yesu nda, ada se Laazaru nmal ti ayiri anas kisekk.
18 Bethany was just two miles from Jerusalem,
Ubaitanya wadi susut nin Urshalima, npit mine nafo timel tiba.
19 and many Jews had come to console Mary and Martha at the loss of their brother.
A Yahudawa gbardang wa dak kitin Marta nin Maryamu, ida lissu nani nin kul ngwana mine.
20 When Martha found out that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
Marta tunna na a lanza Yesu din cinu, anuzu adi zuro ninghe, Maryamu lawa kilare.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.
Marta tunna aworo Yesu ku, “Cikilari, ndfo uwa duku, na gwana nighe wa kuba.
22 But I'm certain that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Nene wang, ko iyapin imonari utirino Kutelle, ama nifi inin.”
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Yesu woronenge, “Gwanafine ma fitu tutung.”
24 “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day,” Martha answered.
Marta woroghe nenge, “In yiru ama fitu tutung kubi nfiyu na nan kul, liri nimalin.”
25 Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who trust in me will live, even though they die.
Yesu woroghe, “Menghari ufyu na nan kul, Myeri ulai; ulenge na ayinna nin mi, ko aku, ama ti ulai;
26 All who live in me and trust in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
ame ulenge na adi nin lai, aminin yinna nin mi na ama kuba. Uyinna nin le ulire?” (aiōn g165)
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one expected to come to this world.”
Aworoghe nenge, “Nanere, Cikilari, in yinna fere Kristi, Usaun Kutelle, ulenge na adin cinu ucin da nanya nyi.”
28 When she had said this, she went and told her sister Mary in private, “The Teacher's here, and asking to see you.”
Na a belle nani, a nya adi yiccila Maryamu gwane likot. Aworo, “Unan dursuzu niyerte di kikane, adin yiccufi.”
29 As soon as she heard, Mary quickly got up and went to see him.
Na Maryamu nlaza nani, afita mas ado kitin Yesu.
30 Jesus hadn't arrived in the village yet. He was still at the place where Martha had met him.
Kube na Yesu wadi asa pira nanya kagbire ba awa dutu kite na Marta nni zuro ninghe.
31 The Jews who had been comforting Mary in the home saw how she'd got up quickly and left. So they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb to weep there.
A Yahudawa alenge na iwa dak lippe, wadi ligowe nin Maryamu nanya kilare, na iwa yeneghe afita mas anuzu udas, idofinghe, iwa yenje nafo anuzu ucindu kisseskkere adi gilu ku.
32 When Mary arrived at the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.”
Maryamu tunna na ada kiti kanga na Yesu yissin ku a yeneghe, adio kutyen nbun me a woroghe, “Cikilari ndafo una yita kikane, na gwana ninghe wa ku ba.”
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying as well, he was very troubled and upset.
Na Yesu in yeneghe kuculu, a a Yahudawe na ida ligowe ninghe wang di kuculu, ata liduru nanya nruhu, ayi me fita kang;
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
a woro, “Ina nonkoghe nweri?” Iworoghe, “Cikilari da uda yene.”
35 Then Jesus cried too.
Yesu gila.
36 “See how much he loved him,” the Jews said.
A Yahudawa woro,”Yenen ngbardang nsuwe na adi Laazaru ku mun!”
37 But some of them said, “If he could open the eyes of a blind man, couldn't he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
Among mine woro, “Na unit ulelere, ulenge na awa pun iyizi nnit ule na awa di udu ba, na ana wanti ulele ukule ba?”
38 Very troubled, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone placed at the entrance.
Yesu nin lidurun nanya kibinayi me, do kiti kisekkee. Kisekke kutiyari, kutala wa yerdin nnuwe.
39 “Remove the stone,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, said, “Lord, by now there will be a terrible smell, for he's been dead for four days.”
Yesu woro, “Kalan litale.” Marta, gwanan Laazaru unan kule, woro Yesu ku, “Nene aduru ayiri anas kidowe nmal di cizunu ubiju.”
40 “Didn't I tell you that if you trusted me you would see God's glory?” Jesus replied.
Yesu woroghe, “Na nbelinfi nenge, andi uyinna, uma yenu ngongong Kutelle ba?”
41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked heavenwards, and said, “Father, thank you for listening to me.
Itunna ikala kutale. Yesu ghatina iyizi me kitene kani aworo, “Ucif ning, ndin zazunfi bara na udin lanzui.
42 I know you always listen to me. I said this because of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me.”
Meng yiru ko kuyeme kubi udin lanzui, bara kukirinanite na ikilini unnare nta nbelle nani, inan yinna fere na tui.”
43 After saying this, Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Kimal nbellu nani, ata ntet nin liwui kang, “Laazaru nuzu udas.”
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of linen, and with a cloth around his face. “Unbind him and set him free,” Jesus told them.
Unan kule nuzu udas, anin tecin abunu nin nacara nin nimon nkassu libi, umuro me wa tecin nin nimon nkassu libi. Yesu woro nani, “Buncughe isughe a nya.”
45 Consequently many of the Jews who had come to comfort Mary and who saw what Jesus did put their trust in him.
A Yahudawa gbaedang na iwa dak kitin Maryamu yene imong ilenge na Yesu nsu, i yinna ninghe;
46 But others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
among mine nya ido kiti na Farisawa idi bellin nani imon ile na Yesu nsu.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the ruling council. “What shall we do?” they asked. “This man is doing many miracles.
Ugo na Priest nan na Yahudawa pitirino kudaru mine kiti kirum, iworo,”Inyaghari tiba ti? Unit ulele din su imon izikiki gbardang.
48 If we allow him to continue, everybody will believe in him, and then the Romans will destroy both the Temple and our status as a nation.”
Asa tisughe aleo ubun nengene, vat ma yinnu ninghe, a Rumawa ma dak ida bollu kiti bite nin min bite.”
49 “You don't understand anything!” said Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Vat nani, umong unit nanya mine lissa me Kefas, amere wadi ugo na Priest likus lole, woro nani, “Na iyiru ko imong ba.
50 “Can't you see that it's better for you that one man die for the people so that the whole nation won't be destroyed?”
Na idin yenju ucaun kitiu mine unit urum ku bara anit va, nnun woro anit vat nana.”
51 He didn't say this on his own behalf, but as chief priest that year he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation.
Awa bellin uleli ulire na un litime ba, bara awa di upriest udya likusse. Awa su annabci, Yesu maku bara anit;
52 And this was not just for the Jewish nation, but for all the scattered children of God so that they might be gathered together and be made into one.
na bara nmyen cas ba, Yesu nan pitiruno kiti kirum nono Kutelle alenge na ishogilin nkowe.
53 From that time on they plotted how they might kill Jesus.
Ucizunu lilone, udu ubun, iwa kpiliza tibau nworu imolughe.
54 So Jesus did not travel openly among the Jews but went to a town called Ephraim in the region near the desert and stayed there with his disciples.
Na Yesu wa kuru a gala nanya na Yahudawa fang ba, awa nya a suna kikane ado nmon min nkan kagbiri idin yicu Ifiraimu nkon kusho. Kikanere awa so ku nan nono katwa me.
55 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover, and many people went from the countryside to Jerusalem to purify themselves for the Passover.
Upaska na Yahudawa wa dak susut, gbardang na mong ani wa nuzu nanya nmine udu Urshalima inan di wesse ati mine a upaska dutu.
56 People were looking for Jesus and talking about him as they stood in the Temple. “What do you think?” they asked each other. “Isn't he coming to the festival?”
Iwa din pizurun Yesu ku, ilira nan nati mine nanya kutii nlira, “Iyaghari idin kpiluze? Na aba dak kitin ide ba?”
57 The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it so they could arrest him.
Ugo na priest nan na Farisawa wani uduka andi umong yiru kikanga na Yesu duku, na abelin inan kifoghe
