< John 11 >

1 Sie mukul pangpang Lazarus su muta Bethany, el masak. Bethany pa siti srisrik se ma Mary ac Martha, tamtael lal, muta we.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 (Mary se inge pa tuh ukuiya ono se nu ke nien Leum ac sang aunsifal eela. Lazarus se ma mas inge ma wial.)
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
3 Tamtael se inge supwala kas nu sin Jesus ac fahk, “Leum, mwet kawuk saok lom el mas.”
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
4 Ke Jesus el lohngak el fahk, “Mas se inge tia ma nu ke misa, a ma in nawela God, oayapa Wen nutin God fah eis wolana kac.”
But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
5 Jesus el lungse Martha ac Mary, su ma wial, ac Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Tusruktu ke el lohng lah Lazarus el mas, el mutana yen el muta we ke len luo pac.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Toko el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Kut folokla nu Judea.”
Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
8 A mwet tumal lutlut elos fahk, “Mwet Luti, in pacl na fototo se somla, mwet in acn we tuh srike in tungal kom. Ya kom nunku kom in folok nu we?”
The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Jesus el topuk, “Ya tia oasr ao singoul luo ke len se? Ke ma inge kutena mwet su fahsr ke len el ac tia tukulkul, mweyen el liye kalem lun faclu.
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 A el fin fahsr ke fong el tukulkul, mweyen wangin kalem yorol.”
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11 Jesus el fahk ma inge na el sifil fahk, “Lazarus, kawuk lasr, el motulla, tusruktu nga ac som okasulak.”
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."
12 Mwet tumal lutlut elos topuk ac fahk, “Leum, el fin motul, el ac kwela.”
Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13 Kalmen ma Jesus el fahk uh pa Lazarus el misa, a elos nunku mu el kaskas ke motul in mongla.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Ke ma inge Jesus el fahkang nu selos ke kas na kalem, “Lazarus el misa,
So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
15 tusruktu ke sripowos nga wokin lah nga wangin yorol, tuh kowos fah lulalfongi. Kut som nu yorol.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
16 Thomas (su pangpang Fak) el fahk nu sin mwet lutlut wial, “Fahsru, kut nukewa welul som, tuh kut in wi pacna Mwet Luti misa!”
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
17 Ke Jesus el sun acn we, el lohngak lah Lazarus el pukpuki len akosr lac tari.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Tia sun mael luo Bethany nu Jerusalem,
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
19 ac mwet puspis tuku liki acn Judea in akpwaryal Martha ac Mary ke misa lun mukul se wialtal inge.
Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Ke Martha el lohngak lah Jesus el tuku, el illa som in osun nu sel, a Mary el mutana in lohm ah.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Martha el fahk nu sel Jesus, “Leum, kom funu oasr inge, mukul se wiuk inge lukun tia misa!
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Tusruktu finne inge pacna, nga etu lah God El ac sot nu sum kutena ma kom siyuk sel.”
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Ma wiom el ac sifil moulyak.”
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Martha el topuk, “Nga etu lah el ac sifil moulyak ke len safla.”
Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Nga pa akmoulyauk mwet uh liki misa nu ke moul. Kutena mwet su lulalfongi in nga fah moul, el finne misa.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 Ac kutena mwet su moul ac lulalfongiyu fah tiana misa. Ya kom lulalfongi ma se inge?” (aiōn g165)
And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Martha el topuk, “Aok, Leum! Nga lulalfongi lah kom pa Christ, Wen nutin God, el su God El wulela kac mu ac tuku nu faclu.”
She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."
28 Tukun Martha el fahk ma inge, el folokla ac mahma nu sel Mary, tamtael lal, ac fahk, “Mwet Luti el oasr inge, ac el siyuk kom.”
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
29 Ke Mary el lohng, el tuyak ac sulaklak som in osun nu sel. (
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
30 Jesus el soenna tuku nu yen mwet uh walil we, a el srakna oasr yen se Martha el sonol we ah.)
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
31 Mwet ma muta lohm ah yorol Mary in akpwaryal, ke elos liye lah el tuyak ac sulaklak tufoki som, elos ukwalla mweyen elos nunku mu el ac som in tung ke kulyuk ah.
Then the Judeans who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Mary el tuku nu yen Jesus el muta we, na ke el liyalak Jesus, el putati nu ke nial ac fahk, “Leum, kom funu muta inge, mukul se wiuk inge lukun tia misa!”
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."
33 Jesus el liye lah el tung, oayapa mwet ma welul elos wi pac tung, na insial arulana asor ac el liksreni na oela.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 El siyuk selos, “Kowos piknilya oya?” Elos topuk, “Leum, fahsru liye.”
and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Jesus el tung.
Jesus wept.
36 Ac mwet uh fahk, “Liye lupan nunak lal kacl!”
The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
37 A kutu selos fahk, “El tuh sang liyaten nu sin mwet kun sac, na efu ku elan kofla in oru tuh Lazarus elan tia misa?”
But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
38 Jesus el srakna asor yohk, na el som nu ke kulyuk ah, sie luf oan pe eol ah ac eot se itukyang kosrala mutun luf sac.
So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus el fahk, “Eisla eot sacn!” Martha, su ma wien mas sac, el fahk, “Leum, ac arulana koluk fohlo, mweyen el pukpuki len akosr lac!”
Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
40 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Mea, nga tia fahk nu sum tari lah kom fin lulalfongi kom ac liye wolana lun God?”
Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
41 Elos eisla eot sac nu saya. Na Jesus el ngetak nu lucng ac fahk, “Papa, nga kulo nu sum tuh kom porongeyu.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Nga etu lah kom porongeyu pacl nukewa, tusruktu nga fahk ma inge tuh mwet inge in lulalfongi lah kom supweyume.”
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 Tukun el fahk ma inge, el pang ke pusra lulap, “Lazarus, ilme!”
When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 Na el ilme. Paol ac nial srakna pihpla ke nuknuk in misa, ac ipin nuknuk se pwelah mutal. Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Tulala nuknuk in misa lal lukel, ac lela elan som.”
The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
45 Mwet puspis sin mwet Jew ma tuku nu yorol Mary elos liye ma Jesus el oru, ac elos lulalfongi kacl.
Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
46 Tusruktu kutu selos folokla nu yurin mwet Pharisee ac fahkak nu selos ma Jesus el oru.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Ke ma inge mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee elos osun yurin Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat ac fahk, “Mea kut ac oru, ke arulana pus mwenmen ma mwet se inge orala?
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Kut fin fuhlela elan oru na lumah inge, mwet nukewa ac lulalfongel lac, ac mwet leum lun acn Rome elos ac sroang nu kac, ac kunausla Tempul lasr oayapa mutunfacl sesr.”
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
49 Sie selos pangpang Caiaphas, su tuh Mwet Tol Fulat ke yac sac, el fahk, “Efu kowos ku lalfon fuk?
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50 Kowos tia akilen lah ac wo nu suwos tuh mwet se na in misa ke mwet uh, liki mutunfacl nufon se in kunausyukla?”
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
51 Pwayeiya uh, Caiaphas el tia fahk ma inge ke nunak na lal, a ke sripen el pa Mwet Tol Fulat ke yac sac el fahk kas in palye kacl Jesus lah el ac misa ke sripen mwet Jew,
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 ac tia kaclos mukena, a oayapa in eisani nu sie mwet nukewa lun God su fahsrelik nu yen nukewa uh.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Tukun len sac lac, mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos suk na oreya in unilya Jesus.
So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
54 Ke ma inge Jesus el tia sifil fahsr lemtulauk inmasrlon mwet Jew, a el som nu ke sie acn apkuran nu yen mwesis, nu ke sie siti srisrik pangpang Ephraim, ac el muta we yurin mwet tumal lutlut.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and stayed there with his disciples.
55 Inge apkuran me pacl in Kufwen Alukela, ac mwet puspis fahsryak liki acn selos nu Jerusalem in aknasnasyalosla fal nu ke oakwuk lun Ma Sap meet liki kufwa uh.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Elos sokol Jesus, ac ke elos tukeni in Tempul elos asiyuki sie sin sie, “Mea kowos nunku? El ac tuku nu ke kufwa uh ku tia?”
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?"
57 Mwet tol fulat ac mwet Pharisee elos sapkin mu kutena mwet fin etu acn Jesus el oasr we, elan tuku akkalemye tuh elos in sruokilya.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.
