Yohana 11:25-48

²⁵Yesu amgamba, “Miye nuyo uyuso na ujima. Akunizumila miye nekale, hata hegu kabanika,

²⁶naho chila akwikala na kunizumila habanike mazuwa yose, Togola wayazumila ayo?”

²⁷Matha amgamba, “Heye Zumbe!” Ahitula “Nazumila kugamba weye nuyo Kulisito, Mwana ywa Chohile, yudya akwiza mwe isi.”

²⁸Matha eze alonge ayo, niyo aita akumwitanga lumbudye Maliyamu kwa chinyele, na kumgamba, “Mhinyi ehano,” “naho akwitanga.”

²⁹Maliyamu eze eve ivyo, niyo asunguza kwinuka ambasa Yesu.

³⁰Yesu nahanati kwingila mwe kaya, mna nachei ahadya hantu Matha ambwile.

³¹Wayahudi nawemndani hamwenga na Maliyamu wakamhongeza, weze wamwone kenuka akumpukila kuse. Wamtimila wakagamba akwila kwe mbila.

³²Maliyamu eze abule hantu hadya Yesu endile, eze amwone, amgwela heviga. Amgamba, “Zumbe,” “hegu wandile wihano, mlukolo ywangu habanike!”

³³Yesu eze amwone aila, naho eze awawone wadya Wayahudi wendile hamwenga naye nawo waila, niyo engilwa ni mbazi na chinyulu, niyo engilwa ni tumbwaziko mo moyo.

³⁴Niyo awauza. “Mumhamba hahi?” Wamgamba. “Soo uwone, Zumbe,”

³⁵Yesu niyo aila.

³⁶Wayahudi wagamba. “Kaulani ivyo amungile!”

³⁷Mna wantu watuhu wagamba, “Togola yuno amfumbule ameso yudya tuntu, vino hakudaha Kumtenda Lazalo asekubanika?”

³⁸Ivyo Yesu engilwa ni tumbwaziko vituhu mo moyo, abula kwe mbila, mbila yenye neimwe bome naho naigubikwa na yuwe mwe nchili.

³⁹Yesu agamba. “Usani idiyuwe!” Matha, lumbudye dya yudya abanike, amgamba, “Zumbe, akonga kulavya mpofa, kekala mwe mbila mazuwa mane!”

⁴⁰Yesu amgamba, “Togola sikugambile kugamba ukazumila nauwone ukulu wa Chohile?”

⁴¹Niyo wadyusa diya idiyuwe. Yesu niyo asinya kulanga kwembingu na kugamba, “Nakutogola weye, Tate, kwaviya weye waniva.

⁴²Simanya kugamba waniva mazuwa yose, mna silonga ivyo kwaviya wantu wano we hano, chani wazumile kugamba weye ni weye unisigile.”

⁴³Eze alonge ivyo, niyo etanga kwa izwi kulu, “Lazalo, fosa kuse!”

⁴⁴Niyo afosa kuse, kuno katalizwa sanda mwe viga na mwe mikono, naho uso wakwe ugubikwa na kasuche. Yesu awagamba, “Mfunguleni,” “Mumlekeni aite.”

⁴⁵Ivyo Wayahudi walozize wendile wamtalamkile Maliyamu weze wawone mbuli iyo adamanye Yesu, niyo wamzumila.

⁴⁶Mna wamwenga wawo waita kwa Mafalisayo na kuwagambila mbuli Yesu adamanye.

⁴⁷Kwa ivyo Mlavyantambiko mkulu na Mafalisayo waika chitala na kugamba, “Chitende vivihi? Mntu yuno adamanya vilagiso vilozese!

⁴⁸Chinamleka du ajendeleze, wantu wose nawamzumile, naho vilongozi wa Walumi nawo naweze kuibalanga inyumba yetu ya Chohile na wantu wetu wose!”
