John 12
1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.
Mazuba musanu alimwi, kakutanayinda Pasika Jesu wakasika Betani, aawo aakali Lazalasi, ooyo Jesu ngwakabusya kuzwa kubafu.
2 So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him.
Aabobo bakamubambila chilalilo nkuko, aMata wakali kubapa. Pesi lazalasi wakali umwi wababo wakalede munsi atafula kali aJesu.
3 Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Kuzwawo Mariya wakabweza kankuli kamafuta mabotu kwindilila, wakananika Jesu kumawulu angawo akupukuta kumawulu amasusu aakwe. Ngaanda yakazula bweema bubotu bwamafuta.
4 [But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
Juda Sikaliyoti, umwi wabasikwiya bakwe oyo sikumuzya, wakati,
5 Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
“Nkambonzi mafuta aaya natakuzigwa amiyanda yotatwe akupegwa kubafwaba?”
6 Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
Wakamba ezi nkaambo takalikulangisisya kubafwaba, pesi nkaambo wakal, mubbi. Wakali ankomo yamali akukkonzya kubba zyakabikidwe mukati.
7 Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
Jesu wakati, “Amumuzumizye kubaamba ezyo nzyalazyo kuzuba lyakuvwikwa kwangu.
8 For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
Munoli aabo bafwaba kwalyoonse. Pesi tamukoyoba andime lyoonse.”
9 The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.
Lino nkamu mpati yamaJuda yakaziba kuti Jesu mpali, mpo bakasika kabatazidi Jesu alike pe, akuzobona Lazalasi, ooyo Jesu ngwakabusya kuzwa kubafu.
10 But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
Ibapayizi bapati bakakkankayizya antomwe kuti bakonzye kujaya Lazalasi;
11 because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.
nkaambo kanguwe kuti MaJuda biingi bakeenda akusyoma kuliJesu.
12 On the morrow, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
Izuba litobela inkamu mpati yakasika kupobwe nibakamvwa kuti Jesu ulasika kuJelusalemu.
13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, —even the King of Israel!
Bakabweeza mitabi yatukunka akwinka kuyoswananaawe akompolola kuti, wosana ulilongezegelwe, ooyo usika muzina lyaMwami, waIzilayeli.
14 And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
Jesu wakajana kambongolo kanini wakkala alinkako; mbuli mbukwakalembedwe.
15 Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass.
“Mutayowi nobana basimbi baZiyoni, amubone Mwami wanu ulaz, kakkede amusana wambongolo.”
16 These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done unto him.
Basikwiya bakwe tebakamvwisisya pe kuzintu eezi kumatalikilo, pesi, aawo Jesu nakalemekezegwa bakayeya kuti eezi zintu zyakalembedwe ataala anguwe akuti bakachita zintu eezi kulinguwe.
17 The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.
Lino nkamu yakazuzikizigwa kuti bakali anguwe nakayita Lazalasi kuzwa muchumbwe akumubusya kuzwa kubafu.
18 On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign.
Chakali nchicho chizato kuti inkamu inkamu yakaya kuyoswanana nkambo bakamvwa kuti wakachita chitondezyo.
19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
Bafalisi mpawawo bakati lwabo lwabo, “Bona takwe nchokonzya kuchita: laang, nyika yinka kunembo aatala aakwe.”
20 Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast.
Lino bamwi baGiliki bakali mulibaabo bakalikuya kukomba kupobwe.
21 These, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, —and were requesting him, saying—Sir! We desire to see, Jesus.
Aabo bakaya kuliFilipo, oyoowakazwa KuBbetisyaida mu Galili mpo wakakumbila wati, “Mwalumi tuyanda kubona Jesu.”
22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus.
Filipo wakeenda akuyobuzya Andulo, Andulo wakeenda aFilipo, mpo wakabuzya Jesu.
23 But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified!
Jesu wakabasandula mpo wati, chindi chasika chamwana amuntu, kuti alemekezegwe.
24 Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
Nchobeni, nchobeni ndamwambila anukut, imbuto yabbale yakawida munyika mpo yafwa, iyosyala lwayo ayilike, pesi kuti yafwa, ilazyaala michelo myiingi.
25 He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. (aiōnios g166)
Ooo uyandisya buumi bwakwe takoyobujana, pesi utayandisyi buumi bwakwe kulizyanyika eeyi uyobamba buumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
26 If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
Kuti umwi undigwasya, akunditobela, ooko nkumbede, ooko nkokuko mulanda wangu nkwabede. Oyoo undimanina milimo, Taata uyakumulemeka.
27 Now, is my soul troubled, —and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!
Lino muuya wangu wapengeleka. Mpo ngambeenzii? “
28 There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven—I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Taata, lemekezya zina lyako.” Aboobo ijwi lyakazwa kujulu kaliti, “Ndachilemekezya mpo nzochilemekezya lubo.”
29 [So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying—It hath, thundered. Others, were saying—A messenger, unto him, hath spoken.
Aabobo nkamu yakayimvwi kumbali niyakamumvwa yakamba kuti kwakamvwika muzuzumo. Bamwi bakamba kuti mungelo ulawambula anguwe.”
30 Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
Jesu wakasandula wati, “Eeli jwi telyazida ndime pesi lyazida ndinywe.
31 Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
Lino ndolu lubeta lwanyika eeyi: Lino muzululi wanyika eeyi uzosowelwa aanze.”
32 And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
Aawo mpunjonyampulwa kuzwa munyika, ndiyoyobolola bantu boonse kulindime.
33 But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
Wakamba bobu kutondezya lufu lwakwe mbolunobede.
34 The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn g165)
Makamu akamusandula, “Twakamvwa kuzwa kumulawu kuti Kkilisito uzokkala ikutamani. Wamba buyeni ikuti, ' Mwana Muntu uyelede kusumpulwa? Nguli ooyo Mwana Muntu? (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
Jesu wakabambila kuti, “Mumuni unolandinywe kwachindi chifwifwi. Mwende nimuchili mumun, ikuti mudima tukamuvumbi. Ooyo wenda mumudima taazi ooko nkwaaya.
36 While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
Nimuchilamumuni, amusyome mumumuni kuchitila kuti mube bana bamumuni.” Jesu wakaamba zintu eezi aboobo wakamba zintu eezi wakeenda akulisisa mulimbabo.
37 And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him: —
Nikuba kuti Jesu wakachita zitondezyo zyiingi kuli mbaabo, pele takwe nibakasyoma mulinguwe.
38 that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
Kuti ijwi Ayizaya musinsimi lizuzikizigwe, muli zyakamba: “Mwami, ooyo wakasyoma kwaamba kwesu, akuli oyoo luboko lwaMwami nkulyakayubunizidwa?”
39 On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
Nkaambo kayaaya tebakayosyom, mbuli Ayizaya akakwe mwamba,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn, —and I should heal them.
“Wakofwazigwa meso aabo, akuyumya myoyo yabo, muliyimwi nzila bazobona ameso aabo akumvwisisya amyoyo yabo, akusanduka alimwi njobaponia”.
41 These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
Ayizaya wakaamba eezi zintu nkaambo wakabona bulemu bwajesu akwambula aatala anguwe.
42 Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
Pesi nikuba boob, akube kuti bazulwidi basyome muliJesu; pesi nkaambo kabaFalisi, tebakakumbila kulekelelwa pe kuti bataka kasigwi kuya kuchikombelo.
43 for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
Bakayanda bulemu bwakazwa kubantu kwiinda bulemu bwakazwa kuliLeza.
44 And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said—He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me;
Jesu wakompolola wati, “Ooyo usyoma mulindime tasyomi biyo mulindime, Pesi akuliwoyo wakandituma,
45 And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.
aawoyo wabona ndime wabona nguwe ooyo wakatuma ndime.
46 I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
Ndasika mbuli mumuni munyika, kuti ooyo usyoma mulindime takasyali mumudima.
47 And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
Kuti wamvwa majwi aangu, pesi katabambide, simubeteki pe, tee ndaza kuzotonga nyika, pesi kufutula nyika.
48 He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day.
Ooyo undikaka akutatambula majwi aangu, ulasikumubeteka. Ijwi ndindambula liyomubeteka kuzuba lyamamanino.
49 Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Nkambo nsilyambwidi pe, pesi nguTaata wandituma, ooyo wapa ndime chelelo chakwaamb, azyakwamba.
