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

¹Ek manush kai busholas Lazarus naswalosas. Beshlo ande foro kai busholas Bethany leske pheiasa, e Maria ai e Martha.

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

²Kodia Maria sas kai thodia pel punrhe le Devleske e duxi, ai koslia leske punrhe peske balensa, ai lako phral o Lazarus naswalo sas.

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

³Le dui pheia trade ieke manushes te phenen ka Jesus, "Devla, kodo kai si tuke drago si naswalo."

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.”

⁴Kana O Jesus ashundia kodia, phendia, "Kodo naswalimos le Lazarusosko nai merimasko, numa te anel o luvudimos ka Del, ai vi O Shav le Devlesko avela luvudime."

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

⁵O Jesus drago sas leske e Martha, ai laki phei e Maria, ai o Lazarus.

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

⁶Kana O Jesus ashundia ke o Lazarus naswalo sas, mai beshlo dui dies ando than kai sas.

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

⁷Pala kodia phendia peske disiplonge, "Aven palpale ande Judea."

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

⁸Leske disipluria phende leske, "Gazda, de xantsi vriama palpale le Zhiduvuria mangenas te shuden bax pe tute; ai tu manges te zhas palpale kotse?"

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.

⁹O Jesus phendia lenge, "Nai desh u dui chasuria ando iek dies? Te si vari kon kai phirel adiese, chi perel, ke dikhel e vediara la lumiaki.

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

¹⁰Numa te si vari kon kai phirela e riate, perel, ke nai les vediara ande leste.

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.”

¹¹Pala kodola vorbi, phendia lenge, "O Lazarus, amaro vortako sovel; numa zhav te wushtiavav les."

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

¹²Antunchi leske disipluria phende, "Gazda, te sovela, sastiola."

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

¹³Numa O Jesus dia duma pa lesko merimos; numa won gindinas ke wo dia duma pa sovimos sar kana sovel.

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

¹⁴Antunchi O Jesus phendia lenge, "O Lazarus mulo.

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

¹⁵Ai pala tumende raduime sim ke chi simas lesa, ke kadia si te pachan tume; aven leste akana."

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

¹⁶O Thomas phendia, kai sas akhardo Didimus, phendia le avre disiplonge, "Aven vi ame te meras lesa!"

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

¹⁷Kana O Jesus areslo, ashundia ke o Lazarus sas de shtar dies ando greposhevo.

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

¹⁸Ai sar o Bethany nai dur katar o Jerusalem, pashe trin kilmeturia vai dui maili.

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

¹⁹But Zhiduvuria avile te dikhen e Martha, ai Maria, ke nekezhime kai mulo lengo phral.

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

²⁰Kana e Martha ashundia ke O Jesus avelas, geli karing leste, numa e Maria beshli tele ando kher.

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

²¹E Martha phendia ka Jesus, "Gazda, te avilianas katse, murho phral nas te avel mulo!

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

²²Numa vi akana zhanav, ke so godi manges katar O Del, O Del del les tuke."

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

²³O Jesus phendia lake, "Cho phral zhuvindila."

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

²⁴E Martha phendia, "Zhanav ke wo zhuvindila kana savorhe wushtena paluno dies,"

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

²⁵O Jesus phendia lake, "Me sim o zhuvindimos ai o traio: Kon pachalape ande mande, traiila, marka te merela;

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

²⁶Ai kon godi traiil ai pachalape ande mande shoxar chi merela. Pachas tu kadia?" Woi phenel leske,

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.”

²⁷"E, Gazda, pachav ma ke tu san O Kristo, O Shav le Devlesko, kai trobulas te avel ande lumia.

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

²⁸Kana phendia kadia. Martha gelitar te akharel chorial peska pheia e Maria, phenelas, "O Gazda katse lo ai akharel tu."

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

²⁹Kana e Maria ashundia kadala vorbi, strazo wushtili, ai geli karing leste.

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

³⁰Ke O Jesus chi areslo sas ando gav inker, numa kotse sas kai e Martha arakhlia les.

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.”

³¹Le Zhiduvuria kai sas ando kher la Mariasa te pochin la, dikhle ke strazo wushtili ai geli avri, gele pala late, phenenas; "Woi zhal ka greposhevo te rovel."

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.”

³²Kana e Maria aresli kai sas O Jesus. Ai dikhlia les, peli ka leske punrhe, ai phenel leske, "Gazda, te avilianas katse, murho phral nas te merel."

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

³³O Jesus dikhlia ke rovel, woi ai vi le Zhiduvuria kai avile lasa, nekezhisailo ando pesko duxo, ai sas leske mila.

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

³⁴Ai wo phushlia len, "Kai groposardian les?" Won phende leske, "Gazda, aidi ai dikh."

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵O Jesus ruiia.

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

³⁶Pe kodia le Zhiduvuria phende, "Dikhen sar sas leske drago!"

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

³⁷Ai uni anda lende phende, "Wo kai phuterdia le iakha le korheske, nashti kerdia vi kado manush te na merel?"

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

³⁸Mai iek data O Jesus nekezhisailo ande peste, ai gelo ka greposhevo. Sas iek podruma, ai ek bax thodino anglal.

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.”

³⁹O Jesus phendia lenge, "Len o bax!" E Martha, e phei le muleski, phendia leske, "Gazda, vunzhe khandel; ke de shtar dies katse lo!"

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

⁴⁰O Jesus phendia lake, "Chi phendem tuke, ke te pachasa tu, dikhesa o barimos le Devlesko?"

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.

⁴¹Line o bax ai O Jesus vazdia le iakha opre, ai phendia, "Murho Dat, naisiv tuke ke kerdian so mangav.

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.”

⁴²Me zhanav ke tu ashunes ma sagda; numa dem duma pala o narodo katse, kaste te pachanpe ke tu tradian ma."

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

⁴³Kana phendia kodia, tsipisardia ieke glaso zurales, "Lazarus, ankli avri!"

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.”

⁴⁴Ai o mulo anklisto, le vas ai le punrhe phangle andel le derzi, ai lesko mui phanglo poxtan parno. O Jesus phendia lenge, "Phutren les, ai meken les te zhal."

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

⁴⁵But andel le Zhiduvuria avile karing e Maria ai dikhle so kerdia O Jesus, ai pachaiepe ande leste.

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

⁴⁶Numa uni anda lende gele kal le Farizeanonge, ai phende lenge so kerdia O Jesus.

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

⁴⁷Antunchi le Farizeanuria ai le bare rasha chidinisaile andek than, ai phende, "So te keras." Ke kado manush kerel but mirakluria!

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.”

⁴⁸Te mekasa les te kerel, savorhe pachanpe ande leste; ai le Romanuria avena ai pharhaven amari tampla ai amaro them!"

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

⁴⁹Iek anda lende, kai busholas Caiaphas, kai sas o baro rashai kodo bersh, phendia lenge, "Tume chi zhanen kanchi!

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.”

⁵⁰Tume chi haliaren ke mai mishto tumenge te avel iek manush te merel pala sa o narodo, de sar pala sa o them te avela pharhado?"

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

⁵¹Wo chi phendia kodia anda peste; numa sar sas o baro rashai kodo bersh, profesisardia ke O Jesus trobul te merel pala o them le Zhidovongo.

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

⁵²Ai na ferdi pala kado them, numa vi te chiden ande iek stato sa le shave le Devleske kai si pe swako rig.

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

⁵³De katar kodo dies, phenenas mashkar pende sar te mudaren les.

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.

⁵⁴Sa anda kodia O Jesus chi mai phiravelas anglal le Zhiduvuria, numa gelotar karing iek rik kai si e pusta, ande ek gav kai busholas Ephraim, kai beshlo peske disiplonsa.

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

⁵⁵Ai O Dies O Baro le Zhidovongo pashiol; ai but manush andai them avenas ando o Jerusalem mai anglal sar o dies o baro, te vuzharenpe anda penge bezexa.

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?”

⁵⁶Won rodenas le Jesusos, kana chidenape ande tampla, ai phenenas iek kavreske, "So gindin? Chi avela po dies o baro?"

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.

⁵⁷Le bare rasha ai le Farizeanuria dine iek ordina, "Ke te si vari kon kai zhanena kai lo O Jesus, trobul te phenel les, ke trobul te astarel les."
