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 was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
2 Ipapo vakamubikira kudya kwamanheru. Marita akavashandira uye Razaro akanga ari pakati pavanhu vakanga vari patafura naye.
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 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, 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 Asi mumwe wavadzidzi vake, Judhasi Iskarioti, uyo akanga achizomupandukira, akazviramba izvozvo akati,
Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
5 “Seiko mafuta aya asina kutengeswa uye mari yacho ikapiwa kuvarombo? Anga achikwana mubayiro wegore rose.”
'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, 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.
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 Jesu akapindura akati, “Muregei akadaro. Zvakanga zvakagadzirirwa kuti iye achengetere mafuta aya zuva rokuvigwa kwangu.
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 Varombo munavo nguva dzose pakati penyu, asi ini hamuzorambi muneni.”
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and 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.
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 Saka vaprista vakuru vakaronga kuurayawo naRazaro,
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 nokuti nokuda kwake, vaJudha vazhinji vakanga vava kubva kwavari vachiisa kutenda kwavo kuna Jesu.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in 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 came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come 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 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 Jesu akati awana mhuru yembongoro, akagara pamusoro payo, sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi:
and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15 “Usatya iwe Mwanasikana weZioni; tarira, mambo wako ari kuuya, akagara pamusoro pemhuru yembongoro.”
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' 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.
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 Zvino vanhu vazhinji vakanga vanaye paakadana Razaro kubva muguva uye akamumutsa kubva kuvakafa vakaramba vachiparadzira shoko iri.
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 Vanhu vazhinji vakabuda kundosangana naye nokuda kwokuti vakanga vanzwa kuti akanga aita chiratidzo ichi.
because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
19 Saka vaFarisi vakataurirana vakati, “Onai, hakuna kwatinosvika nazvo izvi. Tarirai kuti nyika inomutevera sei!”
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20 Zvino kwakanga kuna vamwe vaGiriki pakati paavo vakanga vakwidza kuMutambo kundonamata.
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
21 Vakauya kuna Firipi, uyo akanga achibva kuBhetisaidha muGarirea, vaine chikumbiro. Vakati, “Ishe, tinoda kuona Jesu.”
these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Firipi akaenda kundoudza Andirea; Andirea naFiripi vakazoudzawo Jesu.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Jesu akapindura akati, “Nguva yasvika yokuti Mwanakomana woMunhu akudzwe.
And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
24 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kana tsanga yegorosi ikasawira muvhu ikafa, inongoramba ichingova yoga. Asi kana ikafa, inobereka mbeu dzakawanda.
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 Munhu anoda upenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo, asi munhu anovenga upenyu hwake munyika ino achahuchengetera upenyu husingaperi. (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 Ani naani anondishandira anofanira kunditevera; uye pandinenge ndiri, muranda wangu achavapowo ipapo. Baba vangu vachakudza munhu uyo anondishandira.
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 “Zvino mwoyo wangu uri kurwadziwa, uye ndichati kudiniko? ‘Baba, ndiponesei kubva panguva ino?’ Kwete, ndizvo zvandakauyira panguva ino.
'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 Baba, kudzai zita renyu!” Ipapo inzwi rakabva kudenga richiti, “Ndatorikudza, uye ndicharikudzazve.”
Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
29 Vanhu vazhinji vaivapo uye vakarinzwa vakati kwatinhira; vamwe vakati mutumwa ataura kwaari.
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 Jesu akati, “Inzwi iri harina kuuya nokuda kwangu, asi nokuda kwenyu.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Zvino ndiyo nguva yokutongwa kwenyika ino; zvino muchinda wenyika ino achadzingwa.
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 Asi ini, pandinenge ndasimudzwa kubva panyika ino, ndichakwevera vanhu vose kwandiri.”
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 Akareva izvi kuti aratidze mafiro aaizoita.
And this he said signifying by what death he was about to 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 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 Ipapo Jesu akati kwavari, “Muchava nechiedza kwechinguva chiduku. Fambai muchine chiedza, rima risati rasvika. Munhu anofamba murima haazivi kwaanoenda.
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 Vimbai nechiedza muchinacho, kuti mugova vanakomana vechiedza.” Akati apedza kutaura zvinhu izvi, Jesu akabvapo akazvivanza kwavari.
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 Kunyange zvazvo Jesu akaita zviratidzo zvose izvi pamberi pavo, havana kutongomutenda.
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in 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 said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 Nokuda kwaizvozvo havana kugona kutenda nokuti, pane imwe nzvimbo, Isaya anoti:
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
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 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 Isaya akataura izvi nokuti akaona kubwinya kwaJesu uye akataura nezvake.
these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Asi nenguva imwe cheteyo kunyange vazhinji pakati pavatungamiri vakamutenda. Asi nokuda kwavaFarisi, havana kupupura kutenda kwavo nokuti vaitya kudzingwa musinagoge;
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 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 who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 Paanonditarisa, anoona iye akandituma.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
46 Ndakauya panyika sechiedza, kuti kurege kuva nomunhu anotenda mandiri angagara murima.
I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
47 “Kana pane munhu zvake anonzwa mashoko angu, asi akasaachengeta, ini handimutongi. Nokuti handina kuuya kuzotonga nyika, asi kuzoiponesa.
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 Pano mutongi achatonga munhu anondiramba uye asingagamuchiri mashoko angu; shoko riya chairo randakataura ndiro richamutonga pazuva rokupedzisira.
'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 Nokuti handina kungozvipupurira pachangu, asi Baba vakandituma ndivo vakandirayira zvokutaura namatauriro acho.
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,
50 Ndinoziva kuti murayiro wavo unotungamirira kuupenyu husingaperi. Saka zvose zvandinoreva ndizvo chaizvo zvandakanzi nditaure naBaba.” (aiōnios g166)
and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' (aiōnios g166)
