¹And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

¹Waxaa jiray nin buka oo ah Laasaros reer Beytaniya ee joogay tuulada Maryan iyo walaasheed Maarta.

²and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

²Maryantaasu waxay ahayd tii Rabbiga cadar marisay oo cagihiisa timaheeda ku tirtirtay, oo walaalkeed Laasaros bukay.

³therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;`

³Sidaa aawadeed walaalihii farriin bay Rabbiga u direen iyagoo leh, Sayidow, ogow, kii aad jeclayd waa bukaaye.

⁴and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.`

⁴Laakiin Ciise markuu taas maqlay wuxuu yidhi, Bukaankanu kan dhimashada ma ahaa, laakiin waa ammaanta Ilaah aawadeed in Wiilka Ilaah lagu ammaano.

⁵And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁵Ciise ayaa jeclaa Maarta iyo walaasheed iyo Laasaros.

⁶when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁶Sidaa aawadeed markuu maqlay inuu buko, laba maalmood oo kale ayuu meeshuu joogay iska sii joogay.

⁷then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;`

⁷Markaas dabadeed ayuu xertii ku yidhi, Yahuudiya aan haddana tagno.

⁸the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!`

⁸Xertii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, Yuhuuddu waxay haddana doonayeen inay ku dhagxiyaan, ma waxaad mar kale u kacaysaa meeshaas?

⁹Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

⁹Ciise ayaa ugu jawaabay, Maalintu miyaanay laba iyo toban saacadood ahayn? Qof hadduu maalinta socdo ma turunturoodo, waayo, wuxuu arkaa iftiinka dunidan.

¹⁰and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.`

¹⁰Laakiin qof hadduu habeenka socdo, wuu turunturoodaa, waayo, iftiinku kuma jiro isaga.

¹¹These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;`

¹¹Waxyaalahaas ayuu ku hadlay, oo dabadeedto wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Saaxiibkeen Laasaros waa hurdaa, laakiin waan u tegayaa inaan soo toosiyo.

¹²therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;`

¹²Sidaa daraaddeed xertii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidow, hadduu hurdo wuu bogsanayaa.

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹³Ciise wuxuu ka hadlayay dhimashadiisa, iyaguse waxay u maleeyeen inuu ka hadlayo nasashada hurdada.

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁴Ciise haddaba ayaa bayaan ugu yidhi, Laasaros waa dhintay.

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;`

¹⁵Anigu waa ku faraxsanahay aawadiin inaanan halkaas joogin si aad u rumaysataan, laakiin aan u tagno.

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,`

¹⁶Sidaa aawadeed Toomas, kii Didumos la odhan jiray, wuxuu ku yidhi xertii la socotay, Innaguna aan tagno si aynu ula dhimanno.

¹⁷Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁷Haddaba markuu Ciise yimid wuxuu ogaaday inuu afar maalmood xabaasha ku jiray.

¹⁸And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁸Haddana Beytaniya waa u dhowayd Yeruusaalem, oo waxay u jirtay qiyaas shan iyo toban istaadiyon.

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

¹⁹Yuhuud badan waxay u yimaadeen Maarta iyo Maryan inay walaalkood uga tacsiyeeyaan.

²⁰Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

²⁰Maarta haddaba markay maqashay in Ciise imanayo, ayay ka hor tagtay, Maryanse gurigay iska fadhiday.

²¹Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²¹Markaasaa Maarta waxay Ciise ku tidhi, Sayidow, haddaad halkan joogtid, walaalkay ma uu dhinteen.

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;`

²²Hadda waxaan garanayaa in wax alla waxaad Ilaah weyddiisatid uu ku siinayo.

²³Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.`

²³Markaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Walaalkaa waa sara kici doonaa.

²⁴Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;`

²⁴Maartaa ku tidhi, Waan garanayaa inuu kici doono wakhtiga sarakicidda ee maalinta u dambaysa.

²⁵Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁵Ciise ayaa ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay sarakicidda iyo nolosha. Kii i rumaystaa, in kastoo uu dhinto, wuu noolaan doonaa.

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁶Kii kasta oo nool oo i rumaystaa weligii ma dhiman doono. Waxan ma rumaysan tahay?

²⁷believest thou this?` she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.`

²⁷Waxay ku tidhi, Haah, Sayidow, waan rumaysnahay inaad tahay Masiixa oo ah Wiilka Ilaah ee dunida iman lahaa.

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;`

²⁸Markay taas tidhi, way tagtay oo hoos ahaan ugu soo yeedhay walaasheed Maryan, oo waxay ku tidhi, Macallinkii halkan buu joogaa, waana kuu yeedhayaa.

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

²⁹Iyaduna kolkay maqashay, dhaqso bay u kacday oo u tagtay.

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³⁰Ciise weli ma iman tuulada, laakiin wuxuu weli joogay meeshii Maarta kaga hor tagtay.

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.`

³¹Haddaba Yuhuuddii iyada guriga la joogtay oo u tacsiyaynaysay, markay arkeen Maryan inay dhaqso u kacday oo baxday, ayay raaceen, iyagoo u malaynaya inay xabaashii tegayso inay meeshaas ku baroorato.

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;`

³²Haddaba Maryan markay timid meeshii Ciise joogay oo ay aragtay isaga, waxay ku dhacday cagihiisa iyadoo ku leh, Sayidow, haddaad halkan joogtid, walaalkay ma uu dhinteen.

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³³Ciise haddaba markuu arkay iyadoo barooranaysa, iyo Yuhuuddii la socotay oo la barooranaysa, ayuu ka qalbi xumaaday, wuuna murugooday.

³⁴`Where have ye laid him?` they say to him, `Sir, come and see;`

³⁴Markaasuu yidhi, Xaggee baad dhigteen? Waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidow, kaalay oo arag.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵Ciise waa ooyay.

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!`

³⁶Sidaa daraaddeed Yuhuuddu waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal eega, siduu u jeclaa.

³⁷and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?`

³⁷Qaarkoodse waxay yidhaahdeen, Ninkan oo indhaha u furay kii indha la'aa, miyuusan wax ka samayn karin inuusan ninkaasu dhiman?

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁸Sidaa daraaddeed Ciise oo mar kale qalbi xumaaday ayaa xabaashii yimid. Waxay ahayd god, dhagax baana saarnaa.

³⁹Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;` the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;`

³⁹Ciise ayaa yidhi, Dhagaxa ka qaada. Maarta oo ahayd kii dhintay walaashiis, waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, hadda wuu urayaa, waayo, afar maalmood buu mootanaa.

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?`

⁴⁰Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, miyaanan kugu odhan, Haddaad rumaysatid, waxaad arki lahayd ammaanta Ilaah?

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

⁴¹Markaasay dhagaxii ka qaadeen. Ciisena indhihiisuu kor u taagay oo yidhi, Aabbow, waan kuugu mahad naqayaa inaad i maqashay.

⁴²and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.`

⁴²Waana ogaa inaad mar kasta i maqasho, laakiin dadkan badan oo hareerahayga taagan aawadood ayaan taas u idhi inay rumaystaan inaad adigu i soo dirtay.

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;`

⁴³Markuu sidaas ku hadlay dabadeed wuxuu ku dhawaaqay cod weyn, Laasarosow, soo bax.

⁴⁴and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.`

⁴⁴Markaasaa kii dhintay soo baxay, isagoo gacmaha iyo cagaha ay kafan kaga xidhan tahay, wejigana maro kaga xidhan tahay. Kolkaasuu Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Fura oo daaya, ha socdee.

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁵Sidaa aawadeed qaar badan oo Yuhuuddii ah oo Maryan u yimid oo arkay wuxuu sameeyey ayaa rumaystay.

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁶Qaarkoodse way u tageen Farrisiintii, oo waxay u sheegeen wuxuu Ciise sameeyey.

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁷Sidaa aawadeed wadaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii shir bay isugu yimaadeen oo yidhaahdeen, Maxaynu samaynaa? Waayo, ninkanu calaamooyin badan buu sameeyeye.

⁴⁸if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.`

⁴⁸Haddaynu sidaa u dayno, dhammaan way rumaysan doonaan isaga, oo dadka Roomana way iman doonaan, oo waxay qaadan doonaan meesheenna iyo quruunteenna.

⁴⁹and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁴⁹Midkood Kayafas la odhan jiray, oo wadaadka sare ahaa sannaddaas, wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxba garan maysaan,

⁵⁰nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.`

⁵⁰oo ka fiirsan maysaan inay idiin roon tahay in nin keli ahu dadka u dhinto oo aan quruunta oo dhammu lumin.

⁵¹And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵¹Waxaas iskama odhan, laakiin isagoo ah wadaadka sare sannaddaas, wuxuu sii sheegay in Ciise quruunta u dhiman doono,

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

⁵²quruuntii oo keliya uma aha, laakiin inuu mid keliya isugu soo ururiyo carruurtii Ilaah oo kala firidhsan.

⁵³From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

⁵³Haddaba maalintaas wixii ka dambeeyey waxay ku tashadeen inay dilaan.

⁵⁴Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

⁵⁴Sidaa daraaddeed mar dambe Ciise bayaan uma dhex marin Yuhuudda, wuuse ka tegey meeshaas, ilaa meel u dhowayd cidlada, ilaa magaalo la yidhaahdo Efrayim, halkaasuuna xertii la joogay.

⁵⁵And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

⁵⁵Hadda Iidda Yuhuudda ee Kormaridda la yidhaahdaa waa dhowayd, kuwa badanna waxay u kaceen Yeruusaalem iyagoo dalka ka yimid Iiddii Kormaridda horteed inay isdaahiriyaan.

⁵⁶they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?`

⁵⁶Sidaa daraaddeed ayay Ciise doondooneen, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, iyagoo macbudka dhex taagan, Maxay idinla tahay? Ma inuusan iidda imanaynin baa?Wadaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii waxay amar ku bixiyeen, Hadduu qof ogaado meeshuu joogo waa inuu sheego, ha la qabtee.

⁵⁷and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.

⁵⁷Wadaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii waxay amar ku bixiyeen, Hadduu qof ogaado meeshuu joogo waa inuu sheego, ha la qabtee.
