John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
Lino umwi mwalumi walikutegwa Lazalo wakalikuchiswa. Wakali kuzwa ku Bbetani, igunzi mwakali kukkala Meli a amuchizi wakwe Maata.
2 And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair—whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Meli nguwe oyo iwakananika Mwami amuunde akumusinda mawulu akwe amasusu, ngula mukulana Lazalo wakachisidwe.
3 The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying—Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick.
Bachizi bakananizya mulumbe kuli Jesu kabaamba kuti, 'Mwami, Langa, ooyo ngoyandisya wachiswa.”
4 But Jesus hearing, said—This sickness, is not unto death, but for the glory of God, —that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
Jesu nakamvwa eezi, wakati, “Óku kuchiswa tekwakufwa pe, pesi nkwabulemu bwa Leza kuti akonzye kulemekwa kuli nzizyo.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Lino Jesu wakali kuyandisya Maata, mwanike wakwe, a Lazalo.
6 When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days.
Nakamvwa kuti Lazalo wachiswa, Jesu wakakkala kwamazuba aabili lubo kubusena oobo nkwakabede.
7 Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples—Let us be leading on into Judaea, again.
Mpawo nikwakiinda eezi, wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Tubwede lubo ku Judiya.”
8 The disciples say unto him—Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee—and, again, goest thou thither?
Basikwiya bakati kuli nguwe, “Muyiisyi, lino lino bama Juda balokwezezya kuti bakutulule alimwi uyanda kubweda luubo?”
9 Jesus answered—Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth;
Jesu wakavwila, “Taakuli mahoola alikkumi aabili na amumuuni mubuzuba bumwi? Na umwi weenda izuba kaliliwo, takonzyi pe kuti aligubbule, nkambo unobona amumuni wenyika.
10 But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him.
Nikuba boobo, kuti weenda mansiku, ulawaa nkambo mudima tuli anguwe.”
11 These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them—Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him.
Wakaamba zintu ezi, nakamana kwamba ezi, wakati kuli mbabo, imuzyalwama Lazalo ulookona, pesi njankuko kuchitila kuti nkamubusye kuzwa mukoona.”
12 The disciples, therefore, said unto him—Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover.
Basikwiya mpawo bakati kuli nguwe, “Mwaami na kali ulokoona, ulabuka.”
13 But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking.
Lino Jesu wakalaambide akufwa kwakwe, pesi bakayeya aanga wakali kwambula akoona kwakulyokezya.
14 Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly, —Lazarus, died;
Mpawo Jesu wakabambila kanzambwenene kuti, “Lazalo wafwa.
15 and I rejoice, for your sake—that ye may believe, —that I was not there; but let us be going unto him.
Ndabotelwa, nkambo kandinywe, kuti tendaliwope pe kuchitila kuti musyome. Twende kulinguwe.
16 Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples—Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.
Tomasi, ooyo walikwitwa kuti Didimasi, wakati kuli basikwiyanyina “Twiinke andiswe kuchitila kuti tukafwe a Jesu.”
17 Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb.
Nakasika Jesu wakajana kuti Lazalo wakali mukabanda kwamazuba aane.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
Lino Bbeteli yakali afwifwi a Jelusalema, mweelwe walikusika kumamayila obile.
19 and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.
Bama Juda biingi bakalizide kuli Maata a Meli, kuzobaambulizya atala amuchizi wabo.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting.
Eelyo Maata, nakamvwa kuti Jesu wasika, wakayinka wakuswanana awe, pesi Meli wakali kkede mungánda.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus—Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
Mpawo Maata wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwami, aanoli wakaliwo, mukulana wangu tayinofwa pe.
22 And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee.
Nikuba lino, ndilizi kuti kufumbwa nchokumbila kuli Leza, ulakupa.
23 Jesus saith unto her—Thy brother shall rise.
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Mukulana wako ulabuka lubo.”
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day.
Maata wakati kulinguwe, “Ndizi kuti ulabuka lubo kububuke muzuba lyakumamanino.”
25 Jesus said unto her—I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again!
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Ndendime bubuke abuumi, Ooyo uusyoma mulindime nikuba kuti wafwa, uyopona;
26 And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age-abiding. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
alimwi kufumbwa oyo upona akusyoma mulindime takoyofwa pe. Ulazisyoma na eezi?” (aiōn g165)
27 She saith unto him—Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, —He who, into the world, should come.
Wakati kulinguwe, “Iyii, Mwami, ndilasyoma kuli nduwe Kkilisito, Mwana wa Leza, ooyo utazosike munyika.”
28 And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying—The teacher, is present, and calleth thee.
Naakamba ezi wakazwa waya kukwita Meli chakusisilikizya. Wakati, “Muyiisyi ulaano alubo ulokukwiita.”
29 And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him.
Mpakamvwa ezi, wakanyampuka achakufwambana akwinka kulinguwe.
30 Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him.
Li no Jesu takalina kusika pe mumunzi pesi wakachili kubusena ooko Maata nkwakamuswene.
31 The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there.
Mpawo awo ba Juda, bakalanguwe mungánda bakali kumumbulizya nibakabona Meli kanyampuka chakufwambana kaaya aanze bakamutobela kabayeeya aanga wakali kuya kuchuumbwe kukuyolila.
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him—Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Meli nakasika abusena aawo Jesu mpakabede akumubona wakawida kundyato zyakwe akwamba kuti, “Mwami aanoli walaano, Mukulana wangu natafwide pe.”
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself,
Jesu nakamubona kalila, abaJuda mbakazide aabo kabalila, wakeetelela, wakatazikana akujatwa mumoyo wakwe.
34 and said—Where have ye laid him? They say unto him—Lord! come and see.
Wakati, “nkokuli nkumwakakumulazika?” Bakati kuli nguwe, “Mwami, boola uzobone.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu wakalila.
36 The Jews, therefore, were saying—See! how tenderly he loved him!
Mpawo ba Juda bakati, “Boona kuti Lazalo walikumuyanda biyeni!”
37 But, some from among them, said—Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died?
Pesi bamwi baabo bakaamba kuti, “Talikukonzya na ooyu mwalumi wakajula meso amuntu moofu, kuchitila kuti ooyu muntu atafwi?”
38 Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon.
Mpawo Jesu, kachizwide kukatazikana mulinguwe, wakayinka kuchuumbwe. Lino chumbwe yakali mpako, nkabela kwakasinkidwe ibbwe mpawo.
39 Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him—Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days.
Jesu wakati, “Mugwisye ibbwe, “Maata muchizi wa Lazalo, ooyo iwakafwide wakati kuli Jesu, “Mwami, kuli eechi chiindi mubili unoli wabola, nkambo waba amazuba aane kafwide.
40 Jesus saith unto her—Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?
Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Tendakwambila na kuti, wasyoma ulabona bulemu bwa Leza?”
41 So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said—Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me:
Mpawo bakagwisya ibbwe balibikka kumbali. Jesu wakalanga kujulu akwamba kuti, “Taata, ndakulumba kuti wandiswilizya.
42 I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake, —that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth.
Ndalizi kuti ulandiswilizya chiindi choonse, pesi nkambo kankamu yabantu bayimvwi akati kangu nchindamba eezi, kuchitila kuti basyome kuli nduwe nuwakandituma.”
43 And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out—Lazarus! Come forth!
Nakamana kwambula ezi, wakawompolola ajwi lilaajulu, “Lazalo, zwida aanze!”
44 He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages, and, his face, with a napkin, was bound about. Jesus saith unto them—Loose him, and let him go.
Mwalumi wakafwide wakazwida aanze, mawulu akwe amaboko akali zambilidwe asila. Jesu wakati kuli mbabo, “Amumuzambanune mumuleke ayeende.”
45 Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him
Mpawo bamaJuda biingi bakazide kuli Meli akubona ezyo Jesu nzyakachita, bakasyoma mulinguwe;
46 but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
pesi bamwi baabo bakaya kuba Falisi bakubabuzya izintu Jesu nzyakali wachita.
47 The High-priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high-council, and were saying—What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs?
Mpawo bapati babapayizi abaFalisi bakabungania bwendelezi amwi akwamba kuti, “Niinzi nchitutachite? Ooyu mwalumi uchita zitondezyo zyiingi.
48 If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation.
Kuti tumusiye alikke kali boobu, boonse balasyoma kuli nguwe; ma Loma balaza akututolela busena bwesu achisi chesu.”
49 But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High-priest, for that year, said unto them—Ye, know, nothing at all;
Nikuba oobo, umwi mwalumi akati kabo, Kkeyifasi, wakali mupayizi mupati ooyo munyaka, wakati kuli mbabo, Taakwe nchimuzi pe.
50 nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish.
Tamulangisisyi na kuti nchibotu kuli ndinywe kuti kufwe umwi muntu kafwida bantu kwinda kuti nyika yoonse ifwidilile.”
51 This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High-priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
Lino eechi wakachaamba kachitazwide mulinguwe anukuti wakali mupayizi mupati oyo munyaka, wakasinsima kuti Jesu welede kufwida nyika;
52 and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one.
kutali chisi luzutu, pesi kuchitila kuti baana baLeza abo basanseene babunganisigwe aamwi babe umwi.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put him to death.
Mpawo kuzwa eelyo izuba kaziya kunembo bakalangula inzila yakuti Jesu bamujaye.
54 Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples.
Jesu takachili kweenda antanganana pe akati kaba Juda, pesi wakeenda wazwa waya kuli imwi inyika afwifwi akunkaanda mudolopo litegwa Efulemu. Nkuko nkwakakkala abasikwiiya bakwe.
55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
Lino ipasika lyabama Juda lyakali lyaba afwifwi, mpawo biingi bakaya ku Jelusalema kabazwa kuzisi bayinka kuti bakalisalazye beni.
56 They were therefore seeking Jesus, and were saying one to another, in the temple, standing—How seemeth it unto you? that he will in nowise come unto the feast?
Bakali kuyandula Jesu, kabalo kwambula umwi awumwi kabayimvwi muchikombelo, “Muyeyayi loko? kuti ulaleka kusika kupobwe?”
57 Now the High-priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that, if anyone came to know where he was, he should inform [them], so that they might seize him.
Lino bapayizi bapati aba Falisi bakali bapa malayilile akuti kufumbwa muntu unoli ulizi ooko Jesu nkwanobede, uyelede kuzyamba kuchitila kuti bamujate.
