Yohana 11:2-18

²Maliyamu nani lumbudye dya Lazalo. Naho nuyo amkulugute Zumbe mavuta ya kupwepweleka mwe viga na kumhangusa ne zifili zakwe. Nani mlukolo ywawo Lazalo endaga mnyonje.

³Ivyo awo walumbuze dya Lazalo wasigila ulosi kwa Yesu kugamba, “Zumbe, mbuyaye ukumunga ni mnyonje.”

⁴Yesu eze eve ivyo, agamba, “Unyonje uwo suwo wa file, mna ulaila chani Chohile atogolwe, kalumwa chani kwa sila iyo Mwana Mntu atogolwe.”

⁵Yesu nakamunga Matha, lumbudye Maliyamu, hamwenga na Lazalo.

⁶Eze eve imbuli kugamba Lazalo ni mnyonje, Yesu ajendeleza kwikala hantu aho endaga kwa mazuwa maidi yongezekele.

⁷Akaheza awagamba wanampina wakwe, “Chiteni vituhu Yudeya!”

⁸Wanampina wamgamba, “Mhinyi, chipindi chijihi du chijinkile Wayahudi nawaunga wakukome kwa mayuwe, weye nawe waunga wite uko vituhu?”

⁹Yesu ahitula, “Togola, saa za msi sizo mlongo na mbili? Mntu akajenda nomsi hakudaha kukowadika, kwaviya awona ulangazi we isi ino.

¹⁰Mna mntu akajenda nechilo nakowadike, kwaviya ulangazi haumuli mndani mwakwe.”

¹¹Yesu eze abinde kulonga milosi iyo, awagamba, “Mbuyangu Lazalo kagona, mna miye nanite hamwinule.”

¹²Wanampina wakwe wamgamba, “Zumbe, uneva kagona, nahone.”

¹³Yesu nakalonga kugamba Lazalo kabanika, mna wanampina wakwe nawakagamba nakalonga mwe kugona ntongo.

¹⁴Yesu niyo awagambila pwipwipwi, “Lazalo kabanika.

¹⁵Mna selelwa kwa chausa chenyu kugamba sendile uko, chani mzumile. Haluse chiteni kwakwe.”

¹⁶Tomaso, yudya akwitangwa pacha awagamba wanampina weyawe, “Chiteni naswi chikabanike hamwenga naye!”

¹⁷Yesu eze abule uko, kabwila umwili wa Lazalo wikwa mwe mbila kwa mazuwa mane.

¹⁸Ikaya ya Besaniya neihaguhi na Yelusalemu, uhale ukubula maili ntatu vino.
