John 12
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
Zvino mazuva matanhatu pasika isati yasvika Jesu wakasvika Bhetaniya, paiva naRazaro wakange afa, waakamutsa kubva kuvakafa.
2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
Naizvozvo vakamuitira chirairo ipapo, uye Marita waishandira; naRazaro wakange ari umwe wevakange vagere naye pakudya.
3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Zvino Maria akatora paundi yemafuta enadhi amene, ane mutengo mukuru, akazodza tsoka dzaJesu, akapusika tsoka dzake nevhudzi rake; imba ikazadzwa nekunhuhwira kwemafuta.
4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
Naizvozvo umwe wevadzidzi vake, Judhasi Isikariyoti waSimoni wakange achazomutengesa, akati:
5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
Mafuta awa aregerei kutengeswa nemadhenario mazana matatu, akapiwa varombo?
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.
Wakarevawo izvi, kwete kuti wakava nehanya nevarombo, asi nokuti waiva mbavha, uye waiva nechikwama, achitakura zvaiiswamo.
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati: Muregei; wamachengetedzera zuva rekuvigwa kwangu.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
Nokuti varombo munavo nguva dzese, asi ini hamuneni nguva dzese.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews 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.
Naizvozvo chaunga chikuru cheVaJudha chakaziva kuti aripo; ndokuuya kwete nekuda kwaJesu chete, asi kuti vaonewo Razaro, waakange amutsa kubva kuvakafa.
10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
Asi vapristi vakuru vakarangana kuti vauraye Razarowo;
11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
nokuti nekuda kwake vazhinji veVaJudha vaibva, vachitenda kuna Jesu.
12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Chifume chaunga chikuru chakange chauya kumutambo, chakati chanzwa kuti Jesu anouya kuJerusarema,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
vakatora matavi emichindwe, vakabuda kunomuchingamidza, vakadanidzira vachiti: Hosana! Wakaropafadzwa anouya muzita raIshe, Mambo waIsraeri.
14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
Zvino Jesu awana dhongwana, akagara pamusoro paro, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
Usatya, mukunda weZiyoni; tarira, Mambo wako anouya, agere pamusoro pedhongwana rembongoro.
16 His disciples didn’t 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.
Vadzidzi vake havana kunzwisisa zvinhu izvi pakutanga; asi Jesu wakati akudzwa, ipapo vakazorangarira kuti zvinhu izvi zvakange zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, uye vakange vamuitira zvinhu izvi.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
Naizvozvo chaunga chaiva naye paakadana Razaro kuti abude muguva, nekumumutsa kubva kuvakafa, chakapupura.
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
Saka chaunga chakamuchingamidzawo, nokuti vakange vanzwa kuti wakaita chiratidzo ichochi.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
Naizvozvo VaFarisi vakataurirana, vachiti: Munoona kuti hamubatsiri chinhu; tarirai nyika inomutevera.
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Zvino kwaiva nevamwe VaGiriki pakati pevakange vakwira kuti vanonamata kumutambo;
21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
ava ndokuuya kuna Firipi weBhetisaidha reGarirea, vakamukumbira vachiti: Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
Firipi akasvika akaudza Andiriya; uye Andiriya naFiripi vakaudzazve Jesu.
23 Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Jesu ndokuvapindura achiti: Awa rasvika rekuti Mwanakomana wemunhu akudzwe.
24 Most certainly 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.
Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Kunze kwekuti tsanga yegorosi yawira muvhu ikafa, iyo inogara iri yega; asi kana ikafa, inobereka chibereko chakawanda.
25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; neanovenga upenyu hwake panyika ino achahuchengetedza kusvikira kuupenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
Kana munhu achindishandira, ngaanditevere; nepandiri ini, achavapowo muranda wangu. Uye kana munhu achindishandira, Baba vachamukudza.
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
Ikozvino mweya wangu unotambudzika; zvino ndichatii? Baba, ndiponesei paawa rino. Asi nekuda kweizvi ndasvika paawa rino.
28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
Baba, kudzai zita renyu. Naizvozvo inzwi rakauya richibva kudenga, richiti: Ndarikudzawo, uye ndicharikudzazve.
29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
Naizvozvo chaunga chakange chimire chichizvinzwa chakati: Kwatinhira. Vamwe vakati: Mutumwa wataura naye.
30 Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesu akapindura akati: Inzwi iri harina kuuya nekuda kwangu, asi nekuda kwenyu.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Ikozvino pane mutongo wenyika ino; ikozvino mutungamiriri wenyika ino achadzingirwa panze.
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
Neni, kana ndasimudzwa panyika, ndichakwevera vese kwandiri.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Wakarevawo izvi achiratidza kuti waizofa nerufu rwakadini.
34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
Chaunga chakamupindura chichiti: Isu takanzwa pamurairo kuti Kristu achagara nekusingaperi; zvino imwi moreva sei kuti: Mwanakomana wemunhu anofanira kusimudzwa? Ndiani uyu Mwanakomana wemunhu? (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 doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
Naizvozvo Jesu wakati kwavari: Pachine chinguvana chiedza chichinemwi. Fambai muchine chiedza, zvimwe rima ringakukundai; uye anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda.
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.
Muchine chiedza, tendai kuchiedza, kuti muve vana vechiedza. Jesu wakareva zvinhu izvi, akabva, akazvivanza kwavari.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
Kunyange akange aita zviratidzo zvizhinji kudai pamberi pavo, havana kutenda kwaari;
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
kuti shoko raIsaya muporofita rizadziswe, raakareva achiti: Ishe, ndiani wakatenda mharidzo yedu? Neruoko rwaIshe rwakazarurirwa kuna ani?
39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
Naizvozvo vakange vasingagoni kutenda, nokuti Isaya wakatizve:
40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
Wakapofumadza meso avo, akaomesa moyo wavo; kuti varege kuona nemeso kana kunzwisisa nemoyo, vagotendeuka, ndigovaporesa.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Isaya wakareva zvinhu izvi, paakaona kubwinya kwake, ndokutaura pamusoro pake.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
Asi kunyange zvakadaro, vazhinji vevatongiwo vakatenda kwaari; asi nekuda kweVaFarisi vakange vasingabvumi, kuti varege kubudiswa musinagoge;
43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
nokuti vakada rukudzo rwevanhu kupfuura rukudzo rwaMwari.
44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
Zvino Jesu wakadanidzira akati: Anotenda kwandiri, haatendi kwandiri, asi kune wakandituma.
45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
Neanoona ini, anoona wakandituma.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
Ini ndakauya ndiri chiedza panyika, kuti ani nani anotenda kwandiri arege kugara murima.
47 If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Uye kana ani nani achinzwa mashoko angu akasatenda, handimutongi ini; nokuti handina kuuya kuti nditonge nyika, asi kuti ndiponese nyika.
48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
Uyo anondiramba asingagamuchiri mashoko angu, ane anomutonga; shoko randakareva, ndiro richamutonga nezuva rekupedzisira.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
Nokuti ini handina kureva zvemusoro wangu, asi Baba vakandituma, ndivo vakandipa murairo, zvandichareva nezvandichataura.
