Yohane 11:32-55

³²Mariya hayapfikile hanu hayali Yesu na hayamwonile, kamtowela ghamaghoti, kamlongela, “Mtwatsa, ka ung'awile hano, lumbu wangu tsa yang'alekile kufa!”

³³Yesu hayamwonile Mariya kolila, na Wayahudi iwatsile na Mariya nawo wolila, Yesu kaghanzika mne ghumoyo ghwake, kona usungu.

³⁴Yesu kawaghutsa, “Angu mumtsikile kwani?” Wamwidika, “Mtwatsa, itsa wone.”

³⁵Yesu kalila.

³⁶Kuya Wayahudi walonga, “Mlole pfayamnoghele!”

³⁷Lekeni iwanu wangi welongela, “Ka kamhonetsa imunu chifita, ule ng'adahile kumtenda Lazali aleke kufa?”

³⁸Yesu yang'ali yoghanzika keli mne ghumoyo ghwake, kaghenda mbaka mne likabuli, likabuli tsalikala imango iighubikighwe ne libwe.

³⁹Yesu kawalaghitsa, “Mlibimbilise libwe!” Marita lumbu wa imunu iyafile kamwidika, “Mtwatsa, lekeni katsonung'a, ghamatsuwa mane ghabita kulawa yatsikighwe!”

⁴⁰Kuya Yesu kamlongela, “Apfi sikulongele bae ka ung'atoghola, kutsakona utunitso we Imulungu?”

⁴¹Apfo wabimbilisa libwe. Kuya Yesu kalola kulanga kalonga, “Aba, nolonga mighede kwaapfila kwonihulika.

⁴²Nomanya ghamatsuwa ghose kwonihulika, lekeni nolonga pfino kwaajili ya iwanu iwemile hano, ili watoghole ghweghwe kunituma.”

⁴³Yesu hayamalitse kulonga apfi, kakemelela, “Lazali, lawa kunze!”

⁴⁴Naye Lazali kalawa kunze, ghamoko na maghulu ghake ghoighwa isanda na ichihanga chake chighubikighwa chitambala. Yesu kawalongela, “Mdoholeni mumleke yoke.”

⁴⁵Apfo Wayahudi wengi iwaghendile kumwangila Mariya, waghona ghayatendile Yesu, na wamtoghola.

⁴⁶Lekeni iwanu wangi woya kwa Mafarisayo wawalongela aghala ghayatendile Yesu.

⁴⁷Apfo Mafarisayo na iwatambika wakulu wetingana ne iwanu we Libalatsa lye Wayahudi, weghutsa, “Tutende choni? Imunu yuno kotenda pfihulo pfingi.

⁴⁸Tung'amleka aghendelele, iwanu wose watsomtoghola, kuya iwakulu wa Waroma watsakutsa kusola Ing'anda yetu ya ukulombela na isi yetu.”

⁴⁹Kuya yumwe wawo, iyakemighwe Kayafa, iyakalile Mtambika mkulu wa ghumwaka ghula, kalonga, “Mwawabotsi!

⁵⁰Apfi ng'ammanyile bae ka pfinogha kuna mwemwe imunu yumwe yafe kwaajili ya iwanu wose kubita isi yose ihinyighwe?”

⁵¹Ng'alongile bae kwa kubama imwenyegho, lekeni kwaapfila tsakakala mtambika mkulu wa ghumwaka ghula, tsakatabili Yesu katsakufa kwaajili ya isi ya Wayahudi,

⁵²kuya si kwaajili ya isi ila iliyeka, ila pfipfila kuweka hamwe iwana we Imulungu iwapwililike wawe wamwe.

⁵³Apfo kulawa litsuwa lila iwakulu wa Wayahudi wabama inzila ya kumkoma Yesu.

⁵⁴Apfo Yesu ng'aghendile bae mwatsimwatsi muisi ya Yudeya, ila kalawa ako kaghenda habehi na kunyika, kune kaye iikemighwe Efuremu, hao kakala ne iwanang'ina wake.

⁵⁵Ichihungo che Ipasaka cha Wayahudi hachipfikile habehi, iwanu wengi wagheluka Yerusalemu ili wadeghesighwe ng'ana Ipasaka ipfike.
