John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
Magono sita kwakona mselebuko wa Pasaka, Yesu ahikili ku Betania kweatamayi Lazalu, mundu yula mweamyukisi.
2 So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him.
Kwenuko vamtendelakili chakulya cha kimihi, Malita akavya kuvahengela. Lazalu avi mmonga wa vala vevatamili pameza pamonga na Yesu.
3 Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Kangi Maliya akatola libotolo la pinga la mahuta geginungalila bwina, gegatenganizwi kwa mkongo wa nado, gegiguliswa kwa mashonga gamahele, akamnyala Yesu mumagendelu na kuhungula kwa mayunju gaki. Nyumba yoha yikanungalila mahuta gala.
4 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
Nambu Yuda Isikalioti mmonga wa vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili vala ndi mweabweli kumng'anamukila Yesu, akajova,
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
Ndava kyani mahuta ago gaguliswi lepi kwa hipandi miya zidatu ya madini ga feza, vapewayi vangangu.
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
Ajovili genago lepi ndava ya lipyana kwa vangangu, nambu avi mvika kahaku ka mashonga. Na pamahele ayivayi mashonga gegavikwayi mu kahaku kala muni avi mhiji.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Nambu Yesu akajova, “Mkoto kumung'aha mau mwenuyu! Muleka agavika ndava ya ligono la kunizika.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
Vangangu yati mwivya nawu magono goha, nambu mwivya lepi na nene magono goha.”
9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Vayawudi vamahele vayuwini kuvya Yesu avi ku Betania. Vakahika kwenuko lepi ndava ya kumlola Yesu ndi ndava ya kumlola Lazalu mweayukiswi na Yesu.
10 But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
Hinu Vamteta vakulu mewawa vayidakilini kumkoma lazalu.
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.
Ndava ya kuyukiswa kwa Lazalu Vayawudi vamahele vavabelili vachilongosi wavi, vakamsadika Yesu.
12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Chilau yaki, msambi uvaha wa vandu vevabwelili kumselebuko vakayuwana Yesu avi munjila kubwela pa Yelusalemu.
13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
Hinu vakatola matutu ga mavali, vakawuka kuhamba kumpokela, vakajova kwa lwami luvaha. “Chapanga alumbiwa! Amotisiwa mwenuyo mweibwela kwa liina la Bambu. Amotisiwa Nkosi wa Isilaeli.”
14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
Yesu akapewa mwana lipunda, akakwela panani yaki ngati chegijova Mayandiku Gamsopi.
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
“Vandu va muji wa Siyoni mkotoka kuyogopa! Ulola, Nkosi waku ibwela. Akweli mwana lipunda!”
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
Vawuliwa vaki nakumanya mambu ago, nambu Yesu peamali kupewa ukulu, ndi vakamanya kuvya gala gamali kuyandikwa kumvala mwene, kuvya vandu vamkitili genago.
17 The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
Msambi wa vandu vala vevavi pamonga na Yesu ligono leamkemili Lazalu kuhuma mulitinda, amyukisi. Vavajovili vandu mambu gala gegahumalili.
18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
Ndava ya yeniyo msambi wa vandu ukahamba kumpokela, muni vayuwini kuvya akitili chinamtiti chenicho.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
Hinu Vafalisayu vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Wu, mwilola? Nakuhotola kukita chochoha! Mlolayi, vandu voha va mulima vakumlanda.”
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
Kwavi na Vagiliki vadebe pagati ya vandu vala vevahikili ku Yelusalemu kumfugamila lukumbi lwa mselebuko wa pasaka.
21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
Venavo vamhambili Filipi, mkolonjinji wa Betisaida mweavili pamulima wa Galilaya, vakajova “Mtopeswa tete tigana kumlola Yesu.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
Filipi akahamba kumjovela Andelea, voha vavili vakahamba kumjovela Yesu.
23 And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Yesu akavajovela, “Saa ya Mwana wa Mundu kupewa ukulu yihikili.”
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Chakaka nikujovela, mbeyu ya nganu yisigalila kuvya mbeyu ndu, mbaka yigwai muludaka na kufwa. Ngati yikafwayi ndi yimela na kupambika mbeyu yamahele.
25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Mundu yoyoha mweakuugana wumi waki yati akuuyagisa, nambu mundu yoyoha mweakuuyomela wumi waki pamulima apa, akuuvika wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
Mundu mweigana kunihengala yikumgana kunilanda, mewa pala penivya nene, ndi peivya mtangatila wangu. Mundu akanihengelayi nene Dadi wangu yati akumtopesa.
27 "Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.
“Hinu mpungu wangu uvagaya, nijova wuli? ‘Dadi unisangulayi na lukumbi lwenulo?’ Nambu ndava ya genago nibwelili muni nipitilayi lukumbi ulu lwa mang'ahiso.
28 Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
Dadi, ugubukula ukulu waku.” Penapo lwami lukajova kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, “Nimali kuugubukula ukulu wangu na yati nikuugubukula kavili.”
29 The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
Msambi wa vandu vevayimili penapo vayuwini lwami lula, nambu vangi vavi vakajova, mbulumu na vangi vakajova “Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga alongili naku!”
30 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Nambu Yesu akavajovela, “Malovi gemuyuwini lepi ndava ya nene, nambu ndava ya nyenye.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Hinu ndi lukumbi lwa vandu va mulima uwu kuhamuliwa, Setani mweavi chilongosi wa mulima uwu yati ivingiwa.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
Nene peniyinuliwa panani kuhuma pamulima yati kila mmonga yati ihutika kwangu.”
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Ajovili genago kulangisa lifwa leifwa.
34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
Hinu, msambi wa vandu wula ukamyangula “Tete tijoviwi na malagizu gitu kuvya Kilisitu yati ilama magono goha. Hinu uhotola wuli, kujova yikumgana Mwana wa Mundu kuyinuliwa? Mwana wa mundu mwenuyo ndi yani?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Yesu akavajovela, “Lumuli lwakona na nyenye mu lukumbi luhupi. Mgenda kwakona muvi nalu lumuli lwenulo muni chitita chikoto kuvakolela, muni mweigenda muchitita angamanya kweihamba.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
Lukumbi muvi na lumuli mwasadiki lumuli lwenulo muni mpata kuvya vandu va lumuli.” Peamali kujova malovi genago, Yesu akawuka mwene na kuhamba kujifiya patali na vandu.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
Nambu pamonga Yesu ahengili gachinamtiti goha palongolo yavi, vene vamsadiki lepi.
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
Hinu malovi geajovili Isaya mweavili mlota wa Chapanga gakatimalila. “Bambu, yani mweasadiki ujumbi witu? Na uhotola wa Bambu agubukuliwi yani?”
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
Mewa vangahotola kusadika ndava Isaya ajovili kavili,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
“Chapanga agakoywisi mihu gavi Avahimwisi luhala lwavi. Vakoto kulola kwa mihu gavi. Vakoto kumanya kwa luhala lwavi. Nambu vakoto kuniwuyila. Muni nivalamisa.”
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Isaya ajovili ndava auwene ukulu wa Yesu na kujova ndava ya Yesu.
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
Pamonga na ago, vachilongosi vamahele va Vayawudi vamsadiki Yesu. Nambu ndava ya kuvayogopa Vafalisayu nakujova hotohoto. Vayogwipi kuvingiwa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi.
43 for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
Ndava muni vachilongosi avo vaganili kukwihiwa na vandu kuliku kukwihiwa na Chapanga.
44 Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
Kangi Yesu akajova, kwa lwami luvaha, “Mundu mweakunisadika nene, akunisadika lepi namwene ndu, mewawa akumsadika yula mweanitumili nene.
45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
Mweakunilola nene mewawa akumlola yula mweanitumili.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
Nene nibwelili pamulima muni nivyayi lumuli, mundu yoyoha mweakunisadika akotoka kusigalila muchitita.
47 And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Mundu yoyoha mweiyuwana malovi gangu, na akugahengela lepi, nene nikumuhamula lepi. Muni nibweli hee ndava ya kuvahamula vandu va mumulima nambu kuvasangula.
48 He who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on the last day.
Yula mweakunibela nene, mweangayidakila malovi gangu avi naku wa kumuhamula. Malovi ga Yesu yati gakuvahamula vandu ligono la mwishu.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Nene nakujova kwa uhotola wangu namwene, nambu Dadi mweanitumili ndi mweanijovela nijova kyani na cheyiganikiwa kuvajovela vandu.
