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

¹Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

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

²It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

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

³The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

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

⁴But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

⁵Ciise ayaa jeclaa Maarta iyo walaasheed iyo Laasaros.

⁵Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

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

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

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

⁷Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

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

⁸The disciples told him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”

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

⁹Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

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

¹⁰ But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

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

¹¹He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

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

¹²The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

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

¹³Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

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

¹⁴So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

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

¹⁵ I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

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

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, “Didymus” means “Twin” said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go also, that we may die with him.”

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

¹⁷So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

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

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia 15 stadia is about 2.8 kilometers or 1.7 miles away.

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

¹⁹Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

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

²⁰Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

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

²¹Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

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

²²Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

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

²³Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

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

²⁴Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

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

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

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

²⁶ Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

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

²⁷She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

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

²⁸When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and is calling you.”

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

²⁹When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

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

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

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.

³¹Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

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.

³²Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

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

³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

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

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁵Ciise waa ooyay.

³⁵Jesus wept.

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

³⁶The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

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

³⁷Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

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

³⁸Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

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

³⁹Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

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

⁴⁰Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

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

⁴¹So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. NU omits “from the place where the dead man was lying.” Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to 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.

⁴² I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

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

⁴³When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

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.

⁴⁴He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

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

⁴⁵Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

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

⁴⁶But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

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

⁴⁷The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

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

⁴⁸If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

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

⁴⁹But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

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

⁵⁰nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

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

⁵¹Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

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

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

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

⁵³So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

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.

⁵⁴Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

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

⁵⁵Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

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.

⁵⁶Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

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

⁵⁷Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
