John 12
1 Len onkosr meet liki Kufwen Alukela, Jesus el som nu Bethany, acn sel Lazarus, mwet se el akmoulyauk liki misa.
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Elos akoo mongo in eku se nu sel we, ac Martha el kasru in kulansap kac. Lazarus el sie selos su welul Jesus fungyang nu ke tepu uh.
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Na Mary el use sie sufa in ono na yohk molo, ma orekla ke sak keng soko pangpang nard, ac ukuiya nu ke nial Jesus, ac eela ke aunsifal. Foulin ono keng sac fohlela in lohm sac nufon.
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
4 Judas Iscariot — sie sin mwet tumal lutlut lun Jesus, el su ac fah tukakunulak — el fahk,
Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
5 “Efu ku ono soko inge tia kukakinyukla ke tolfoko ipin silver, ac itukyang nu sin mwet sukasrup uh?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 El tia fahk ma inge mweyen el nunku ke mwet sukasrup, a mweyen el mwet mutunpo koluk se. El pa sruok pak in mani uh, ac oasr na pacl el orekmakin nu ke mwe enenu lal sifacna.
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put therein.
7 Tusruktu Jesus el fahk, “Nimet lusrongol! Lela elan esam lah ma el oru inge ma nu ke len in pukpuki luk.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying has she kept this.
8 Ac oasr mwet sukasrup yuruwos pacl nukewa, a nga ac tia muta yuruwos pacl nukewa.”
For the poor always you have with you; but me you have not always.
9 Mwet puspis elos lohngak lah Jesus el oasr Bethany, na elos som nu we. Elos tia som in liyal Jesus mukena, a oayapa tuh elos in liyal Lazarus, su Jesus el akmoulyauk liki misa.
Much people of the Jews therefore knew 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.
10 Ke ma inge mwet tol fulat elos pwapa tuh elos in oayapa unilya Lazarus,
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 mweyen ke sripal, mwet Jew puspis elos ngetla lukelos ac lulalfongi ke Jesus.
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Ke len se tok ah, un mwet na lulap se ma tuku nu ke Kufwen Alukela elos lohng lah Jesus el ac tuku nu Jerusalem.
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Ke ma inge elos us lesak palm ac illa som in sonol. Elos sasa ac fahk, “Hosanna! Insewowo el su tuku Inen Leum! God Elan akinsewowoye Tokosra lun Israel!”
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.
14 Jesus el konauk donkey soko ac sroang muta fac, oana ke Ma Simusla fahk:
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 “Siti Zion, nikmet sangeng! Liye, Tokosra lom el tuku, Ac el muta fin soko donkey fusr.”
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, your King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 Mwet tumal lutlut tia kalem ke ma inge in pacl sac, tusruktu ke pacl se Jesus el akmoulyeyukyak in wolana, elos fah esamak lah Ma Simusla fahkak ma inge kacl, ac elos esamak pac lah elos tuh oru ma inge nu sel.
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Mwet ma tuh welul Jesus ke pacl se el pangnolma Lazarus liki inkulyuk uh ac akmoulyalak liki misa ah, elos tuh fahkak ke ma sikyak inge.
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore record.
18 Pa inge sripa se oru un mwet uh tuku sonol — mweyen elos lohng lah el oru mwenmen se inge.
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 Na mwet Pharisee elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wanginna ma kut ku in oru! Ngetla liye, faclu nufon welul lac!”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive you how you prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Oasr mwet Greek inmasrlon mwet ma som nu Jerusalem in wi alu ke pacl in kufwa uh.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 Elos som nu yorol Philip ac fahk, “Leum se, kut kena liyal Jesus.” (Philip el mwet Bethsaida in Galilee.)
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Na Philip el som fahk nu sel Andrew, ac eltal tukeni som fahk nu sin Jesus.
Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Jesus el topkolos ac fahk, “Sun pacl fal tuh Wen nutin Mwet in eis wolana lulap.
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos: fiten wheat se fin tia putatla nu in fohk uh ac misa, na tia ku in puseni, a ac nuna fita se na. A fin misa, na ac osweya fita pukanten.
Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it stays alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
25 El su seko moul lal, ac fah tuhlac lukel; a el su lafwekunla moul lal fin facl se inge, fah eis moul kawil. (aiōnios g166)
He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 El su lungse kulansupweyu el enenu in fahsr tukuk, tuh mwet kulansap luk fah wiyu yen nga oasr we. Ac Papa tumuk El fah akfulatyal su kulansupweyu.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
27 “Inge insiuk toasrlana — mea nga ac fahk? Ya nga ac fahk mu, ‘Papa, nik kom lela ao in keok se inge in putati fuk’? Tusruktu pa inge sripen tuku luk uh — tuh nga in ku in mutangla ao in keok se inge.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour.
28 Papa, akkalemye wolana lun Inem!” Na pusra se kasla inkusrao me ac fahk, “Nga akkalemye tari wolana luk, ac nga fah sifilpa oru.”
Father, glorify your name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Un mwet se ma tu in acn sac elos lohng pusra sac, ac kutu selos fahk mu pusren pulahl, a kutu mu, “Lipufan se kaskas nu sel!”
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him.
30 A Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pusra sac tia kaskas ke sripuk, a ke sripowos.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Inge pacl in nununkeyuk faclu. Inge leum lun faclu fah sisila.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Pacl se nga ac sripsripyak liki faclu, nga fah kolma mwet nukewa nu yuruk.” (
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.
33 Ke el fahk ma inge el akkalemye luman misa se su el ac keok kac.)
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 Un mwet sac topuk ac fahk, “Ma Sap lasr uh fahk mu Christ el ac moul ma pahtpat. Na efu ku kom fahk mu Wen nutin Mwet ac fah sripsripyak? Su Wen nutin Mwet se inge?” (aiōn g165)
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ stays for ever: and how say you, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ac fah oasr kalem inmasrlowos ke kitin pacl na. Oru orekma lowos ke srakna oasr kalem yuruwos, tuh lohsr uh in tia tuku nu fowos. Tuh el su fahsr in lohsr el tia etu acn el fahsr nu we.
Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come on you: for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes.
36 Kowos lulalfongi ke kalem ke srakna oasr yuruwos, tuh kowos fah mwet lun kalem.” Tukun Jesus el fahk ma inge, el som liki acn sac ac wikla lukelos.
While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 El nwe orala ma usrnguk puspis ye mutalos, elos tiana lulalfongi in el,
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 tuh kas in palu lal Isaiah fah akpwayeiyuk: “Leum, su lulalfongi pweng ma kut srumun? Leum God El akkalemye ku lal nu sin su?”
That the saying 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?
39 Ke ma inge elos koflana lulalfongi, mweyen Isaiah el oayapa fahk:
Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
40 “God El konela mutalos Ac kaliya nunak lalos, Tuh mutalos fah tia liye, Ac nunak lalos fah tia kalem Ac elos fah tia forma nu sik, God El fahk, Tuh ngan akkeyalos liki mas lalos.”
He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah el fahk ma inge mweyen el liye wolana lun Jesus, ac en kaskas kacl.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 In pacl sac, mwet fulat puspis sin mwet Jew lulalfongi ke Jesus Tusruktu ke sripen mwet Pharisee, elos tia sramsramkin lemtulauk, mweyen elos tia lungse in sisila elos liki iwen lolngok.
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 Elos lungse tuh mwet uh in kaksakunulos, liki elos in eis kaksak sin God.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Jesus el fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “El su lulalfongiyu el tia lulalfongiyu mukena, a el oayapa lulalfongi ke El su supweyume.
Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 El su liyeyu, el liyal pac El su supweyume.
And he that sees me sees him that sent me.
46 Nga tuku nu faclu oana kalem se, tuh elos nukewa su filiya lulalfongi lalos in nga, fah tia mutana in lohsr.
I am come a light into the world, that whoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.
47 Kutena mwet fin lohng kas luk ac tia akos, nga fah tia nununkal. Nga tia tuku in nununku faclu, a in molela.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 El su tia eisyu ac tia eis kas luk, oasr sie su ac fah nununkal. Kas ma nga fahkak uh pa ac nununkal ke len safla!
He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Mwe luti luk uh tia ma sik sifacna, a Papa su supweyume pa sapkin nu sik ma nga in fahk ac kaskaskin.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
