John 12
1 Len onkosr meet liki Kufwen Alukela, Jesus el som nu Bethany, acn sel Lazarus, mwet se el akmoulyauk liki misa.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of 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.
they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) 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.
Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Judas Iscariot — sie sin mwet tumal lutlut lun Jesus, el su ac fah tukakunulak — el fahk,
Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
5 “Efu ku ono soko inge tia kukakinyukla ke tolfoko ipin silver, ac itukyang nu sin mwet sukasrup uh?”
'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, 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.
and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7 Tusruktu Jesus el fahk, “Nimet lusrongol! Lela elan esam lah ma el oru inge ma nu ke len in pukpuki luk.
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 Ac oasr mwet sukasrup yuruwos pacl nukewa, a nga ac tia muta yuruwos pacl nukewa.”
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye 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.
A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10 Ke ma inge mwet tol fulat elos pwapa tuh elos in oayapa unilya Lazarus,
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 mweyen ke sripal, mwet Jew puspis elos ngetla lukelos ac lulalfongi ke Jesus.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in 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 morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come 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 the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;'
14 Jesus el konauk donkey soko ac sroang muta fac, oana ke Ma Simusla fahk:
and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according 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, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' 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.
And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did 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 multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
18 Pa inge sripa se oru un mwet uh tuku sonol — mweyen elos lohng lah el oru mwenmen se inge.
because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
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, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go 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 out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
21 Elos som nu yorol Philip ac fahk, “Leum se, kut kena liyal Jesus.” (Philip el mwet Bethsaida in Galilee.)
these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Na Philip el som fahk nu sel Andrew, ac eltal tukeni som fahk nu sin Jesus.
Philip cometh and telleth 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 responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may 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.
verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear 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 who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (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 one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
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 hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came 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 Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
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 multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 A Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Pusra sac tia kaskas ke sripuk, a ke sripowos.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Inge pacl in nununkeyuk faclu. Inge leum lun faclu fah sisila.
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 Pacl se nga ac sripsripyak liki faclu, nga fah kolma mwet nukewa nu yuruk.” (
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 Ke el fahk ma inge el akkalemye luman misa se su el ac keok kac.)
And this he said signifying by what death he was about to 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 multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;
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 ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 El nwe orala ma usrnguk puspis ye mutalos, elos tiana lulalfongi in el,
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in 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 word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 Ke ma inge elos koflana lulalfongi, mweyen Isaiah el oayapa fahk:
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
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 hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might 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 spake 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.
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not 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 glory of men more than the glory 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.
And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 El su liyeyu, el liyal pac El su supweyume.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who 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 a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
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 one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might 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 who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will 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.
because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
