¹Imunu yumwe iyakemighwe Lazali tsamtamu. Lazali yang'ali yokala Betaniya, kaye yake Mariya ne ndughu yake Marita.

²Mariya yuno tsakakala yuyula iyambakile Imtwatsa Yesu ghamafuta ighonung'ila mmaghulu na kughabaghusa kwa mvili tsake, lumbu wake Lazali tsakakala mtamu.

³Apfo lumbu tsake Lazali wamtumila Yesu usenga, “Imtwatsa, sale yako yumnoghele koghula.”

⁴Yesu hayahulike apfi, kalonga, “Utamu uno ng'autsomkoma bae Lazali, utamu uno ulawila kwa utunitso we Imulungu ili Imwana we Imulungu yatunitsighwe kubitila utamu uno.”

⁵Yesu tsakawanoghela Marita na lumbu wake na Lazali.

⁶Yesu hayahulike Lazali koghula, kongetsa ghamatsuwa meli gha kukala hala hayakalile.

⁷Kuya Yesu kawalongela iwanang'ina wake, “Tuye keli Yudeya.”

⁸Iwanang'ina wake wamlongela, “Mlangulitsi, ghamatsuwa chidogho ighalutile Wayahudi tsawabama wakutowe ne ghamabwe, ule kwobama ughende keli hanu hala?”

⁹Yesu kawedika, “Apfi misi yahela masaa kumi ne meli bae? Imunu iyokwanga nemisi ng'ekwala bae kwaapfila koghwona ghumwanga ghwe isi ino.

¹⁰Lekeni imunu ang'anga nechilo kekwala, kwaapfila kahela ghumwanga.”

¹¹Yesu hayalongile apfi, kaghendelela kuwalongela, “Sale yetu Lazali kawasa, lekeni noghenda kumlamsa.”

¹²Iwanang'ina wake wamwidika, “Mtwatsa, ka kawasa, katsohona.”

¹³Yesu tsayang'ali yolonga Lazali tsakafa lekeni iwanang'ina wake wapfikitsa Lazali tsakawasa.

¹⁴Apfo Yesu kawalongela mwatsimwatsi, “Lazali kafa,

¹⁵lekeni kwaajili yenu nodeng'elela kwaapfila sikalile naye bae, ili mtoghole. Leka tumghendele.”

¹⁶Kuya Tomasi, iyakemighwe Basa kawalongela iwanang'ina wayaghe, “Leka tughende ne Mlangulitsi ili tufe naye.”

¹⁷Yesu hayapfikile, tsakapfika lukuli lwa Lazali lwikighwa mne likabuli ghamatsuwa mane ighalutile.

¹⁸Kaye ya Betaniya tsaikala habehi ne Yerusalemu, utali wa maili mbili,

¹⁹na Wayahudi wengi watsa kuwakanza Marita ne Mariya kwa ukufa kwa ndughu yawo.

²⁰Marita hayahulike Yesu kakutsa, kaghenda kunze kwitingana na Yesu, lekeni Mariya tsakasighala mng'anda.

²¹Marita kamlongela Yesu, “Mtwatsa, ka ung'awile hano, lumbu wangu tsa yang'alekile kufa!

²²Lekeni nomanya hata sambi Imulungu katsokwing'a chochose chaumlomba.”

²³Yesu kamlongela, “Lumbu wako katsotsilihuka.”
