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

¹Kaj estis unu malsanulo, nomata Lazaro, el Betania, la vilagxo de Maria kaj sxia fratino Marta.

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

²Tiu Maria, kies frato Lazaro estis malsana, estis tiu sama, kiu sxmiris la Sinjoron per sxmirajxo kaj visxis liajn piedojn per siaj haroj.

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

³La fratinoj do sendis al li, dirante:Sinjoro, jen tiu, kiun vi amas, estas malsana.

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.”

⁴Sed Jesuo, auxdinte tion, diris:CXi tiu malsano estas ne por la morto, sed por la gloro de Dio, por ke la Filo de Dio estu per gxi glorata.

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

⁵Kaj Jesuo amis Martan kaj sxian fratinon kaj Lazaron.

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

⁶Kaj kiam li sciigxis, ke tiu estas malsana, li restis ankoraux du tagojn en la loko, kie li estis.

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

⁷Poste li diris al la discxiploj:Ni iru returne en Judujon.

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

⁸La discxiploj diris al li:Rabeno, la Judoj jxus celis sxtonmortigi vin; kaj cxu vi denove iras tien?

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.

⁹Jesuo respondis:CXu ne estas dek du horoj en la tago? Se iu iras dum la tago, li ne faletas, cxar li vidas la lumon de cxi tiu mondo.

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

¹⁰Sed se iu iras dum la nokto, li faletas, cxar en li ne estas la lumo.

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.”

¹¹Tion li parolis, kaj poste li diris al ili:Nia amiko Lazaro endormigxis, sed mi iras, por veki lin el lia dormo.

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

¹²La discxiploj do diris:Sinjoro, se li endormigxis, li resanigxos.

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

¹³Jesuo parolis pri lia morto; sed ili supozis, ke li parolas pri ripozo en dormo.

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

¹⁴Tiam Jesuo diris al ili klare:Lazaro jam mortis.

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

¹⁵Kaj pro vi mi gxojas, ke mi ne cxeestis tie, por ke vi kredu; tamen ni iru al li.

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

¹⁶Tiam Tomaso, nomata Didimo, diris al siaj kundiscxiploj:Ni ankaux iru, por ke ni mortu kun li.

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

¹⁷Kiam Jesuo alvenis, li trovis lin jam kvar tagojn entombigita.

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

¹⁸Kaj Betania estis proksime de Jerusalem, en la distanco de cxirkaux dek kvin stadioj;

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

¹⁹kaj multaj el la Judoj jam venis al Marta kaj Maria, por konsoli ilin pri ilia frato.

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

²⁰Marta do, kiam sxi eksciis, ke Jesuo alproksimigxas, iris al li renkonte; sed Maria ankoraux sidis en la domo.

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

²¹Tiam diris Marta al Jesuo:Sinjoro, se vi estus cxi tie, mia frato ne estus mortinta.

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

²²Sed ecx nun mi scias, ke kion ajn vi petos de Dio, tion Dio donos al vi.

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

²³Jesuo diris al sxi:Via frato relevigxos.

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

²⁴Marta diris al li:Mi scias, ke li relevigxos cxe la relevigxo en la lasta tago.

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

²⁵Jesuo diris al sxi:Mi estas la relevigxo kaj la vivo; kiu kredas al mi, ecx se li estos mortinta, tiu vivos,

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

²⁶kaj cxiu, kiu vivas kaj kredas al mi, por cxiam ne mortos. CXu vi tion kredas?

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.”

²⁷SXi diris al li:Jes, Sinjoro, mi jam kredas, ke vi estas la Kristo, la Filo de Dio, la venanta en la mondon.

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

²⁸Kaj dirinte tion, sxi foriris, kaj vokis sekrete sian fratinon Maria, dirante:La Majstro cxeestas, kaj vokas vin.

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

²⁹Kaj sxi, auxdinte tion, levigxis rapide kaj iris al li.

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

³⁰(Sed Jesuo ankoraux ne eniris en la vilagxon, sed estis en la loko, kie Marta lin renkontis.)

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.”

³¹La Judoj do, kiuj estis kun sxi en la domo kaj konsolis sxin, vidinte, ke Maria levigxis subite kaj eliris, sekvis sxin, dirante:SXi iras al la tombo, por plori tie.

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.”

³²Kiam Maria alvenis al la loko, kie Jesuo estis, kaj lin vidis, sxi falis antaux liaj piedoj, dirante:Sinjoro, se vi estus cxi tie, mia frato ne estus mortinta.

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

³³Kiam do Jesuo vidis sxin ploranta kaj la Judojn ankaux, kiuj venis kun sxi, plorantaj, li gxemis en la spirito kaj maltrankviligxis,

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

³⁴kaj diris:Kie vi lin kusxigis? Ili diris al li:Sinjoro, venu kaj vidu.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵Jesuo larmis.

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

³⁶La Judoj do diris:Jen kiel li lin amis!

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

³⁷Sed kelkaj el ili diris:CXu cxi tiu, kiu malfermis la okulojn de la blindulo, ne povus kauxzi ankaux, ke cxi tiu homo ne mortu?

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

³⁸Tiam Jesuo, denove gxemante en si, venis al la tombo. GXi estis kaverno, kaj sur gxi kusxis sxtono.

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.”

³⁹Jesuo diris:Forprenu la sxtonon. Marta, la fratino de la mortinto, diris al li:Sinjoro, li jam malbonodoras, cxar li estis tie kvar tagojn.

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

⁴⁰Jesuo diris al sxi:CXu mi ne diris al vi, ke se vi kredos, vi vidos la gloron de Dio?

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.

⁴¹Oni do forprenis la sxtonon. Kaj Jesuo levis siajn okulojn, kaj diris:Patro, mi dankas Vin, ke Vi min auxskultis.

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.”

⁴²Kaj mi sciis, ke Vi cxiam auxskultas min; sed pro la cxirkauxstaranta homamaso mi tion diris, por ke ili kredu, ke Vi min sendis.

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

⁴³Kaj dirinte tion, li kriis per lauxta vocxo:Lazaro, elvenu.

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.”

⁴⁴Kaj la mortinto elvenis, kun la manoj kaj piedoj ligitaj per tombotukoj; kaj lia vizagxo estis cxirkauxligita per visxtuko. Jesuo diris al ili:Malligu lin, kaj lasu lin iri.

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

⁴⁵Tiam multaj el la Judoj, kiuj venis al Maria, kaj vidis, kion li faris, kredis al li.

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

⁴⁶Sed kelkaj el ili foriris al la Fariseoj, kaj rakontis al ili tion, kion Jesuo faris.

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

⁴⁷Tial la cxefpastroj kaj la Fariseoj kunvenigis sinedrion, kaj diris:Kion ni faras? cxar cxi tiu homo faras multajn signojn;

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.”

⁴⁸se ni lasos lin tiel, cxiuj kredos al li, kaj la Romanoj venos kaj forigos nian lokon kaj nian nacion.

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

⁴⁹Sed unu el ili, Kajafas, cxefpastro en tiu sama jaro, diris al ili:Vi scias nenion,

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.”

⁵⁰nek konsideras, ke bone estas por vi, ke unu homo mortu por la popolo, kaj ke la tuta nacio ne pereu.

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

⁵¹Sed li diris tion ne de si mem; sed estante cxefpastro en tiu jaro, li profetis, ke Jesuo mortos por la nacio;

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

⁵²kaj ne nur por la nacio, sed ankaux por ke li kunvenigu en unu la cxie disjxetitajn filojn de Dio.

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

⁵³De post tiu tago do ili konsiligxis, por lin mortigi.

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.

⁵⁴Tial Jesuo ne plu iris publike inter la Judoj, sed foriris de tie en la kamparon apud la dezerto, en urbon nomatan Efraim; kaj tie li restadis kun la discxiploj.

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

⁵⁵Kaj la Pasko de la Judoj proksimigxis, kaj multaj supreniris el la kamparo al Jerusalem antaux la Pasko, por sin sanktigi.

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?”

⁵⁶Ili do sercxis Jesuon, kaj parolis inter si, starante en la templo:Kion vi pensas? CXu ke li ne venos al la festo?

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.

⁵⁷Kaj la cxefpastroj kaj la Fariseoj jam antauxe ordonis, ke se iu scias, kie li estas, tiu montru tion, por ke oni lin kaptu.
