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

¹ Boro fo jante kaŋ maa Liyaziru, Baytaniya boro no, Maryama nda nga beere Marta yaŋ kwaara boro mo no.

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

² Maryama wo, kaŋ a arme Liyaziru jante, ga ti waybora kaŋ na waddo soogu Rabbi gaa k'a cey tuusu nda nga boŋ hamno.

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

³ Waymey na boro fo donton Yesu do ka ne a se: «Rabbi, guna, bora kaŋ ni ga ba sinda baani.»

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.”

⁴ Amma waato kaŋ Yesu maa woodin, a ne: «Janto wo manti buuyaŋ wane no, amma Irikoy darza wane no, zama i ma Irikoy Izo beerandi janta din do.»

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

⁵ Yesu mo ga ba Marta nd'a kayno da Liyaziru.

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

⁶ Waato kaŋ a maa kaŋ Liyaziru sinda baani, a goro nango kaŋ a bara jirbi hinka koyne.

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

⁷ Gaa no a ne nga talibey se: «Iri ma koy Yahudiya laabo ra koyne.»

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

⁸ A talibey ne a se: «Rabbi, a mana gay sohõ, Yahudancey goono ga ceeci ngey ma ni catu nda tondiyaŋ. Ni ga ye noodin koyne?»

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.

⁹ Yesu tu ka ne: «Manti guuru way cindi hinka no go zaari ra? Da boro ga dira zaari ra, boro si kati, zama bora ga di ndunnya wo kaariyaŋ.

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

¹⁰ Amma da boro ga dira cin, boro ga kati, zama kaari si bora ra.»

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.”

¹¹ Waato kaŋ a na sanney din ci, a ne i se: «Iri cora Liyaziru jirbi, amma ay ga koy zama ay m'a tunandi.»

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

¹² A talibey mo ne a se: «Rabbi, d'a jirbi a ga du baani.»

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

¹³ Amma a buuyaŋo boŋ no Yesu salaŋ, amma ngey wo tammahã a goono ga jirbi ka fulanzam no.

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

¹⁴ Waato din gaa no Yesu ci i se taray kwaaray ka ne: «Liyaziru bu.

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

¹⁵ Ay mo ga maa kaani araŋ sabbay se kaŋ ay si noodin, zama araŋ ma cimandi. Amma iri ma koy a do.»

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

¹⁶ Toma binde kaŋ se i ga ne Taway ne nga hangasin talibey se: «Iri mo ma koy, zama iri ma bu a banda.»

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

¹⁷ Waato kaŋ Yesu kaa, a kaa ka gar Liyaziru te jirbi taaci saara ra.

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

¹⁸ Baytaniya ga maan Urusalima, sanda kilometar hinza cine no go i game ra.

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

¹⁹ Yahudance boobo mo kaa Marta nda Maryama do k'i fonda tilas d'i armo buuyaŋo.

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

²⁰ Waato kaŋ Marta maa baaru kaŋ Yesu go kaa, a koy k'a kubay, amma Maryama goro fu jina.

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

²¹ Marta binde ne Yesu se: «Rabbi, da ni go ne, doŋ ay armo si bu.

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

²² Amma baa sohõ ay ga bay kaŋ hay kulu kaŋ ni ga ŋwaaray Irikoy gaa, Irikoy g'a no ni se.»

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

²³ Yesu ne a se: «Ni armo ga tun.»

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

²⁴ Marta ne a se: «Ay ga bay kaŋ a ga ye ka tun koyne tunyaŋo ra zaari bananta ra.»

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

²⁵ Yesu ne a se: «Ay no ga ti tunyaŋ da fundi. Boro kaŋ g'ay cimandi, baa a bu, a ga funa.

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

²⁶ Boro kulu kaŋ goono ga funa k'ay cimandi mo, a si bu abada. Ni ga woodin cimandi, wala?»

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 A ne Yesu se: «Oho, ya Rabbi, ay cimandi kaŋ ni ya Almasihu no, Irikoy Izo, kaŋ ga kaa ndunnya ra.»

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

²⁸ Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, Marta koy ka nga kayno Maryama ce tuguyaŋ ra ka ne: «Alfa go ne. A goono ga ni ce mo.»

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

²⁹ Nga mo, waato kaŋ a maa woodin, a tun da waasi ka koy a do.

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

³⁰ Yesu mo mana furo kwaara ra jina, amma hal hõ a go nango kaŋ Marta kuband'a.

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.”

³¹ Yahudancey mo kaŋ go Maryama banda fuwo ra, kaŋ yaŋ goono g'a fonda tilas, waato kaŋ i di Maryama tun da waasi ka fatta, i n'a gana. Zama i ho hala saara do no a goono ga koy ka bu baray te noodin.

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.”

³² Maryama mo, waato kaŋ a to nango kaŋ Yesu go, a di a mo, kal a sombu Yesu jine ka ne a se: «Ya Rabbi, da ni go ne, doŋ ay armo si bu.»

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

³³ Waato kaŋ Yesu di a goono ga baray, Yahudancey kaŋ yaŋ kaa a banda mo goono ga baray, a duray nga biya ra, a bina sara mo.

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

³⁴ A ne: «Man gaa no araŋ n'a jisi?» I ne a se: «Rabbi, kaa ka di.»

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵ Yesu hẽ.

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

³⁶ Yahudancey binde ne: «Guna mate kaŋ a ga ba r'a d'a!»

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

³⁷ Amma i ra boro fooyaŋ ne: «Boro wo kaŋ na danawo moy fiti, manti a ga hin ka te haŋ kaŋ ga naŋ boro wo ma si bu?»

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

³⁸ Yesu binde ye ka duray nga biya ra ka kaa saara do. Saara din mo guusu no kaŋ go tondi ra, tondi fo mo no ga ti a me dabirjo.

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.”

³⁹ Yesu ne: «Wa tondo kaa.» Marta, buukwa waymo, ne a se: «Rabbi, sohõ a fumbu, zama a jirbi taaci ne.»

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

⁴⁰ Yesu ne a se: «Manti ay ne ni se da ni cimandi, ni ga di Irikoy darza?»

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.

⁴¹ Gaa no i na tondo kaa. Yesu mo na boŋ sambu ka beene guna ka ne: «Ya Baaba, ay ga saabu ni se kaŋ ni maa ay se.

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.”

⁴² Ay ga bay mo kaŋ ni ga maa ay se alwaati kulu, amma ay na woodin ci jama kaŋ goono ga kay ne se, zama i ma cimandi kaŋ ni n'ay donton.»

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

⁴³ Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, a kuuwa da jinde beeri ka ne: «Liyaziru, fatta!»

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.”

⁴⁴ Buukwa mo fatta, cey da kambey mo go didijante da kasance, i n'a moyduma mo haw da diko. Yesu ne i se: «W'a feeri ka taŋ.»

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

⁴⁵ Yahudancey ra boro boobo kaŋ yaŋ kaa Maryama do, kaŋ di haŋ kaŋ Yesu te mo, n'a cimandi.

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

⁴⁶ Amma i ra afooyaŋ koy Farisi fonda borey do ka ci i se hay kulu kaŋ Yesu te.

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

⁴⁷ Gaa no alfaga beerey da Farisi fonda borey na Yahudancey arkusey marga margu ka saaware. I goono ga ne: «Ifo no iri go ga te? Zama bora din goono ga alaama boobo te.

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.”

⁴⁸ D'iri fay d'a ya-cine, borey kulu g'a cimandi. Romancey mo ga kaa k'iri nango nd'iri dumo kom.»

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

⁴⁹ Amma i ra boro fo kaŋ maa Kayafa kaŋ ti alfaga* beero jiiro din ra ne i se: «Araŋ si hay fo bay, baa kayna.

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.”

⁵⁰ Araŋ si lasaabu kaŋ a gonda nafa araŋ se boro folloŋ ma bu jama se, hala dumo kulu ma si halaci?»

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

⁵¹ A na woodin ci, manti nda nga boŋ bo, amma zama nga ga ti alfaga beero jiiro din ra, a na annabitaray te ka ne Yesu ga bu jama kulu se.

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

⁵² Manti dumo din hinne se mo no, amma zama a ma Irikoy izey kaŋ yaŋ go say-sayante margu i ma ciya afolloŋ.

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

⁵³ Za zaaro din no i saaware ngey m'a wi.

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.

⁵⁴ Yesu binde mana ye ka windi taray kwaaray Yahudancey game ra koyne. Amma a fatta noodin ka koy laabu fo ra kaŋ ga maan ganjo ra ka furo kwaara fo ra kaŋ se i ga ne Ifraymu. Noodin no nga nda nga talibey goro.

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

⁵⁵ Yahudancey Paska bato* mo maan. Kawye boro boobo ziji ka koy Urusalima kwaara za Paska mana to, zama ngey ma ngey boŋ hanandi.

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?”

⁵⁶ I goono ga Yesu ceeci. Waato kaŋ i goono ga kay Irikoy windo ra i goono ga ne care se: «Ifo no araŋ ga tammahã? A ga kaa bato do, wala?»

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.

⁵⁷ Alfaga beerey da Farisi fonda borey jin ka lordi ka ne da boro fo ga bay naŋ kaŋ Yesu go, a ma ci zama ngey m'a di.
