Yohana 12:5-27

⁵“Kwa ndabha jha kiki manukato agha ghabeleghe kugolesibhwa kwa dinari mia tatu ni kupelibhwa maskini?”

⁶Ni muene akajobha aghu, si kwa kubhafuhurumila maskini, bali kwa ndabha ajhele mmeji: muene ndo jhaakamuili mfuku ghwa hela na atoleghe baadhi jha fibhekibhu omu kwa ndabha jha muene.

⁷Yesu akajobha, “Ndekayi abhekayi kya ajhenaku kwa ndabha jha maziku ghangu.

⁸Maskini mwibetakujha nabhu magono ghoha; lakini mwibetalepi kujha nani magono ghoha.”

⁹Basi bhumati mbaha ghwa Bhayahudi bhakabhwesya kumanya kujha Yesu ajhele okhu, na bhene bhakahida, sio kwandabha jha Yesu tu bali bhambonayi Lazaro ambaye Yesu amfufuili kuhomela kwa bhafu.

¹⁰Ni bhabhaha bha makuhani bhakabhomba shauri ili bhan'komayi Lazaro;

¹¹maana kwa ndabha jha muene bhingi Bhayahudi bhakilotili ni kun'kiera Yesu.

¹²Ni ligono lya pili lyake umati mbaha bhahidili ku sikukuu. Bho bhap'eliki Yesu ihida Yerusalemu,

¹³bhakalota matawi gha mabhehe gha mitende ni kuhoma kwibhala kulota kumlaki ni kujhuegha, “Hosana! Abarikibhu muene jha ihida kwa lihina lya Bwana, Mfalme ghwa Israeli.”

¹⁴Yesu an'kabhili mwana-punda akakuela; kama vile kyajhalembibhu,

¹⁵“Usitili, binti Sayuni; langayi, Mfalme ghwa jhobhi ihida, akwelili mwana-punda.”

¹⁶Bhanafunzi bha muene bhaghajhelibhu lepi mambo agha hapo hoti; lakini Yesu bho atukusibhu, ndipo bhakhombuiki jha kujha mambo agha alembibhu muene ni kwamba bhabhombili mambo agha kwa muene.

¹⁷Basi likundi lele lya bhanu bhabhajhele pamonga ni Yesu wakati an'kutili Lazaro kuhomela mu likaburi, bhakashuhudila kwa bhangi.

¹⁸Na jhajhele kwa ndabha ejhe kwamba likundi lya bhanu bhalotili kumlaki kwa ndabha bhap'eliki jha kujha ajhibhombili ishara ejhu.

¹⁹Mafarisayo bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Langayi, henu mwibhwesya lepi kubhomba kyokyoha; langayi, ulimwengu ulolili kwa muene.”

²⁰Henu baadhi jha Bhayunani bhajhele miongoni mwa bhala bhabhajhele bhilota kuabudu ku sikukuu.

²¹Abha bhandotili Filipo, ambajhe ahomili Bethsaida jha Galilaya, bhakans'oka bhakajobha, “Bwana, tete twilonda kumbona Yesu.”

²²Filipo akalota akan'jobhela Andrea; Andrea ni Filipo bhakalota ni kun'jobhela Yesu.

²³Yesu akabhajibu akajobha, “Saa jhifikiri kwa ndabha jha Muana ghwa Adamu kutukusibhwa.

²⁴Aminiayi, aminiayi, nikabhajobhela chembe jha ngano jhikabelayi kubina palifu jhikafwa, jhitama mebhwa jhiene; bali jhikafuayi jhihogola matunda mingi.

²⁵Jhaabhuganili uhai bhwa muene ibetakubhujhasya; bali jhaabhudadili uhai bhwa muene pa uloimwengu obho ibetakubhusalimisya hata uzima bhwa milele.

²⁶Munu jhejhioha jhaibetakunitumikila nene, na anikesiajhi; nani pa nijhele ndipo ni n'tumishi ghwangu paibetakujha. Munu jhejhioha jhaibetakunitumikila, Dadi ibetakun'heshi.

²⁷Henu roho jha nene ifadhaiki: nani nijobhabhuli? Dadi, uniokolayi katika lisaa e'le? Lakini kwa kusudi e'le nijhifikili lisaa e'le.
