Johani 12
1 Kwakati kwasara mazuva matanhatu kuti Pasika isvike, Jesu akasvika paBhetani, kuya kwaigara Razaro, uyo akanga amutswa naJesu kubva kuvakafa.
Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
2 Ipapo vakamubikira kudya kwamanheru. Marita akavashandira uye Razaro akanga ari pakati pavanhu vakanga vari patafura naye.
So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.
3 Ipapo Maria akatora chinu chamafuta anonhuhwira enaridho, omutengo unokosha kwazvo; akaadururira patsoka dzaJesu akapukuta tsoka dzake nebvudzi rake. Uye imba yakazadzwa nokunhuhwira kwamafuta.
Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Asi mumwe wavadzidzi vake, Judhasi Iskarioti, uyo akanga achizomupandukira, akazviramba izvozvo akati,
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, which should betray him, saith,
5 “Seiko mafuta aya asina kutengeswa uye mari yacho ikapiwa kuvarombo? Anga achikwana mubayiro wegore rose.”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Haana kureva izvi nokuda kwokuti aiva nehanya navarombo, asi nokuti aiva mbavha; sezvo akanga ari mubati wehomwe, aimboba zvainge zvaiswa muhomwe yacho.
Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.
7 Jesu akapindura akati, “Muregei akadaro. Zvakanga zvakagadzirirwa kuti iye achengetere mafuta aya zuva rokuvigwa kwangu.
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.
8 Varombo munavo nguva dzose pakati penyu, asi ini hamuzorambi muneni.”
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
9 Zvichakadaro, vazhinji zhinji vechiJudha vakanzwa kuti Jesu akanga aripo vachibva vauya, kwete nokuda kwake bedzi asi kuti vazoonawo Razaro, waakanga amutsa kubva kuvakafa.
The common people 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.
10 Saka vaprista vakuru vakaronga kuurayawo naRazaro,
But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 nokuti nokuda kwake, vaJudha vazhinji vakanga vava kubva kwavari vachiisa kutenda kwavo kuna Jesu.
because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Zuva rakatevera ungano huru yavanhu vakanga vauya kuMutambo yakanzwa kuti Jesu akanga ari munzira achiuya kuJerusarema.
On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Vakatora mapazi emichindwe vakaenda kundosangana naye, vachidanidzira vachiti: “Hosana! “Akaropafadzwa uyo anouya muzita raShe! “Akaropafadzwa Mambo weIsraeri!”
took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.
14 Jesu akati awana mhuru yembongoro, akagara pamusoro payo, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 “Usatya iwe Mwanasikana weZioni; tarira, mambo wako ari kuuya, akagara pamusoro pemhuru yembongoro.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 Vadzidzi vake havana kuzvinzwisisa pakutanga. Vakazoyeuka shure kwokunge Jesu apinda mukubwinya kwake, kuti zvinhu izvi zvakanga zvakanyorwa pamusoro pake, uye kuti vakanga vaita izvozvo kwaari.
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 unto him.
17 Zvino vanhu vazhinji vakanga vanaye paakadana Razaro kubva muguva uye akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa vakaramba vachiparadzira shoko iri.
The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
18 Vanhu vazhinji vakabuda kundosangana naye nokuda kwokuti vakanga vanzwa kuti akanga aita chiratidzo ichi.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Saka vaFarisi vakataurirana vakati, “Onai, hakuna kwatinosvika nazvo izvi. Tarirai kuti nyika inomutevera sei!”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him.
20 Zvino kwakanga kuna vamwe vaGiriki pakati paavo vakanga vakwidza kuMutambo kundonamata.
Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:
21 Vakauya kuna Firipi, uyo akanga achibva kuBhetisaidha muGarirea, vaine chikumbiro. Vakati, “Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.”
these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Firipi akaenda kundoudza Andirea; Andirea naFiripi vakazoudzawo Jesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
23 Jesu akapindura akati, “Nguva yasvika yokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akudzwe.
And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kana tsanga yegorosi ikasawira muvhu ikafa, inongoramba ichingova yoga. Asi kana ikafa, inobereka mbeu dzakawanda.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
25 Munhu anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi munhu anovenga upenyu hwake munyika ino achahuchengetera upenyu husingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Ani naani anondishandira anofanira kunditevera; uye pandinenge ndiri, muranda wangu achavapowo ipapo. Baba vangu vachakudza munhu uyo anondishandira.
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 the Father honour.
27 “Zvino mwoyo wangu uri kurwadziwa, uye ndichati kudiniko? ‘Baba, ndiponesei kubva panguva ino?’ Kwete, ndizvo zvandakauyira panguva ino.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Baba, kudzai zita renyu!” Ipapo inzwi rakabva kudenga richiti, “Ndatorikudza, uye ndicharikudzazve.”
Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Vanhu vazhinji vaivapo uye vakarinzwa vakati kwatinhira; vamwe vakati mutumwa ataura kwaari.
The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
30 Jesu akati, “Inzwi iri harina kuuya nokuda kwangu, asi nokuda kwenyu.
Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Zvino ndiyo nguva yokutongwa kwenyika ino; zvino muchinda wenyika ino achadzingwa.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Asi ini, pandinenge ndasimudzwa kubva panyika ino, ndichakwevera vanhu vose kwandiri.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
33 Akareva izvi kuti aratidze mafiro aaizoita.
But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
34 Vanhu vazhinji vakati, “Isu takanzwa kubva paMurayiro kuti Kristu achagara nokusingaperi, saka sei muchiti, ‘Mwanakomana anofanira kusimudzwa’? Ndianiko uyu ‘Mwanakomana woMunhu’?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Muchava nechiedza kwechinguva chiduku. Fambai muchine chiedza, rima risati rasvika. Munhu anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda.
Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Vimbai nechiedza muchinacho, kuti mugova vanakomana vechiedza.” Akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi, Jesu akabvapo akazvivanza kwavari.
While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Kunyange zvazvo Jesu akaita zviratidzo zvose izvi pamberi pavo, havana kutongomutenda.
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 Uku kwaiva kuzadziswa kweshoko raIsaya muprofita raakareva achiti: “Ishe, ndianiko akatenda shoko redu, uye ruoko rwaShe rwakaratidzwa kuna aniko?”
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Nokuda kwaizvozvo havana kugona kutenda nokuti, pane imwe nzvimbo, Isaya anoti:
For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
40 “Akapofumadza meso avo uye akaomesa mwoyo yavo, kuti varege kuona nameso avo, varege kunzwisisa nemwoyo yavo, varege kudzoka ndigovaporesa.”
He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
41 Isaya akataura izvi nokuti akaona kubwinya kwaJesu uye akataura nezvake.
These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
42 Asi nenguva imwe cheteyo kunyange vazhinji pakati pavatungamiri vakamutenda. Asi nokuda kwavaFarisi, havana kupupura kutenda kwavo nokuti vaitya kudzingwa musinagoge;
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 nokuti vaida kukudzwa kunobva kuvanhu kupfuura kukudzwa kunobva kuna Mwari.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Ipapo Jesu akadanidzira akati, “Munhu anenge achitenda kwandiri, haatendi kwandiri bedzi, asiwo nokuna iye akandituma.
And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 Paanonditarisa, anoona iye akandituma.
And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
46 Ndakauya panyika sechiedza, kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anotenda mandiri angagara murima.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
47 “Kana pane munhu zvake anonzwa mashoko angu, asi akasaachengeta, ini handimutongi. Nokuti handina kuuya kuzotonga nyika, asi kuzoiponesa.
And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Pano mutongi achatonga munhu anondiramba uye asingagamuchiri mashoko angu; shoko riya chairo randakataura ndiro richamutonga pazuva rokupedzisira.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Nokuti handina kungozvipupurira pachangu, asi Baba vakandituma ndivo vakandirayira zvokutaura namatauriro acho.
For I spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 Ndinoziva kuti murayiro wavo unotungamirira kuupenyu husingaperi. Saka zvose zvandinoreva ndizvo chaizvo zvandakanzi nditaure naBaba.” (aiōnios g166)
And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
