Yohana 11:25-48

²⁵Yesu kamulongela, “Niye ayo uzilibuko na ugima. Wanhu wose wonhogola wokuwa wagima, hata wahafa,

²⁶na wanhu wose weli wagima na wonhogola niye honda wafe bule. Kozitogola mbuli zino?”

²⁷Mata kedika, “Ona Mndewa, notogola kamba gweye ayo Kilisito Mkombola, Mwana wa Mulungu ija yezile mwiisi.”

²⁸Mata viyalongile avo, kabweleganya mng'anda, kamkema mkulu wake Malia kinyelegezi. Kamulongela, “Mfundiza kabaha, kokukema gweye.”

²⁹Malia viyahulike avo, kenuka himahima kamcholela Yesu.

³⁰Yesu kakala yang'hali hanavika mkijiji, lakini kakala hanhu aho haamting'hane Mata.

³¹Avo, Wayahudi wakalile mng'anda na Malia womgoga makono, wamkweleleza viwamone kenuka himahima na kuchola kunze. Wagesa kochola kudipanga kulila.

³²Malia kavika aho haakalile Yesu, bahaja viyamone, kamfugamila, kalonga, “Mndewa, maza ukalile baha, lumbu jangu sambi yafe bule!”

³³Yesu viyamone Malia kolila, na Wayahudi wakalile nayo wolila vivija, kona usungu na kanyunyuwala muumoyo.

³⁴Yesu kawauza, “Mumzikila kwahi?” Wamwidika, “Mndewa izo ulole.”

³⁵Yesu kalila.

³⁶Wayahudi walonga, “Loleni viyamnogele Lazalo.”

³⁷Lakini wanhu wayagwe walonga, “Kamuhonya munhu msuwameso, hadahile vilihi kumtenda Lazalo sekeyafe?”

³⁸Yesu viyakalile yang'hali konyunyuwala muumoyo, kachola kudipanga, dikalile mhango igubikigwe na dibwe.

³⁹Yesu kawalagiza, “Segezeni idibwe!” Mata, lumbu wa munhu ija yafile, kedika, “Mndewa, kwiza honung'ha bundo, kwavija kana siku nne toka yazikigwe!”

⁴⁰Yesu kamulongela, “Vino sikulongele bule wahatogola kouwona ukulu wa Mulungu?”

⁴¹Wadikwesa hamgwazo idibwe, Yesu kalola uchanha kalonga, “Nokugwaa nhogolwa gweye Tata, kwavija konhegeleza.

⁴²Nojuwa kamba siku zose konhegeleza, lakini nolonga vino mbuli ya wanhu weli hano, ili watogole gweye kunhuma.”

⁴³Viyamambukize kulonga avo, kakemelela, “Lazalo, lawa kunze!”

⁴⁴Lazalo kalawa kunze kuno makono gake na magulu gake gazingilizigwa sitili, na leso mkihanga chake. Yesu kawalongela, “Mfunguleni mulekeni yachole.”

⁴⁵Wayahudi wengi wacholile kumtembelela Malia wachona kiyatendile Yesu, wamtogola.

⁴⁶Lakini wanhu wayagwe wabwela kwa Mafalisayo, wawalongela kija kiyatendile Yesu.

⁴⁷Avo Mafalisayo na wakulu wa walava nhosa waiting'hana na wanhu wa mkitala waiuza, “Vino tutende choni? Loleni mbuli za unzonza ziyotenda munhu ino!

⁴⁸Kamba twahamuleka yagendelele vivo, kila munhu komtogola, na wakulu wa Walumi wokwiza na kuinanga Ng'anda yetu ya Mulungu na isi yetu!”
