¹Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

¹ Juróom benni fan laata màggalu bésub Jéggi ba, Yeesu dem na Betani, dëkku Lasaar, mi mu dekkal.

²So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

² Foofa ñu defaral ko fa reer. Màrt moo ko doon séddale, te Lasaar bokkoon na ca gan ña.

³Mary, therefore, took a pound a Roman pound of 12 ounces, or about 340 grams of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

³ Noonu Maryaama daldi jël liibaru latkoloñ ju raxul ju ñuy wax nàrd, tey jar lu baree-bare. Mu sotti ko ci tànki Yeesu, ba noppi fomp ko ak kawaram. Xetu latkoloñ gi gilli ci kër gi yépp.

⁴Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

⁴ Kenn ca taalibey Yeesu ya, muy Yudaa Iskariyo, mi ko nar a wor, daldi ne:

⁵“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, 300 denarii was about a year’s wages for an agricultural laborer. and given to the poor?”

⁵ «Lu tax jaayewuñu latkoloñ jii peyu atum lëmm, jox ko miskin yi?»

⁶Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

⁶ Waaye bi muy wax loolu, xalaatul woon miskin yi, ndaxte sàcc la woon; moo yoroon boyetu xaalis bi, te daan ci sàkk.

⁷But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

⁷ Waaye Yeesu ne ko: «Bàyyi ko! Jekkoon na mu denc ko ngir bés bu ñu may suul.

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

⁸ Miskin yaa ngi ak yéen bés bu nekk, waaye dungeen ma gis ba fàww.»

⁹A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

⁹ Bi ñu yégee ne, Yeesoo nga fa, mbooloom Yawut mu bare daldi dem Betani. Yeesu rekk yóbbuwu leen fa woon, waaye dañoo bëggoon a gisaale Lasaar, mi Yeesu dekkaloon.

¹⁰But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

¹⁰ Saraxalekat yu mag ya dogu ci ne, dañuy reyaale Lasaar,

¹¹because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

¹¹ ndaxte moo waral Yawut yu bare dëddu leen, gëm Yeesu.

¹²On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹² Ca ëllëg sa mbooloo mu bare, ma ñëwoon ca màggalu bésub Jéggi ba, yég ne Yeesoo ngi jëmsi Yerusalem.

¹³they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Psalm 118:25-26 the King of Israel!”

¹³ Ñu daldi jël cari garab, génn di ko teeru. Ñuy xaacu naan:«Osaana!Yaw miy ñëw ci turu Boroom bi,ku barkeel nga!Na Yàlla barkeel buuru Israyil!»

¹⁴Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

¹⁴ Yeesu wut cumbur, war ko; ndaxte Mbind mi nee na:

¹⁵“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.” Zechariah 9:9

¹⁵ «Buleen ragal, waa Siyon.Gis ngeen, seen buur a ngi ñëw,war mbaam mu ndaw.»

¹⁶His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

¹⁶ Yooyu yépp, taalibe ya xamuñu woon ca saa sa lu muy tekki; waaye gannaaw bi ndamu Yeesu feeñee, ñu fàttaliku ne, Mbind mi yégle woon na loolu ci moom, te amal nañu ko.

¹⁷The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

¹⁷ Ña nekkoon ak Yeesu ñépp, bi muy wooyee Lasaar mu génn ca bàmmeel ba te mu dekkal ko, demoon nañu, nettali la ñu gis.

¹⁸For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁸ Looloo tax mbooloo ma teeru ko, ndaxte yégoon nañu firnde boobu.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

¹⁹ Farisen yi nag di waxante naan: «Gis ngeen, mënuleen ci dara; ñépp a ngi koy topp!»

²⁰Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

²⁰ Ca mbooloo ma, amoon na ca ay Gereg yu bokk ca ña ñëwoon Yerusalem ngir jaamu Yàlla diirub màggal ga.

²¹These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

²¹ Ñëw nañu ci Filib, mi dëkk Betsayda ci diiwaanu Galile, ne ko: «Sang bi, danoo bëggoon a gis Yeesu.»

²²Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

²² Filib dem wax ko Andare; ñu ànd, waxi ko Yeesu.

²³Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²³ Mu tontu leen ne: «Waxtu wi ñu war a feeñale ndamu Doomu nit ki jot na.

²⁴ Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁴ Ci dëgg-dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, fi ak peppu dugub ji wadd ci suuf jaarul ci dee, du man a weesu li mu doon: pepp doŋŋ. Waaye bu deeyee, dina jur pepp yu bare.

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

²⁵ Ku bëgg bakkanam dina ko ñàkk, waaye ku ko bañ ci àddina sii, dina ko denc ngir dund gu dul jeex gi.

²⁶ If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

²⁶ Ku bëgg a doon sama surga, na ma topp. Bu ko defee, fu ma nekk, fa lay nekk moom itam. Ku may liggéeyal, sama Baay dina ko teral.

²⁷ “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But for this cause I came to this time.

²⁷ «Léegi nag damaa jàq. Lu may war a wax? Mbaa du dama naan: “Baay, musal ma ci li nar a xew waxtu wiy ñëw?” Déedéet, ñëw naa sax ngir jaar ci waxtu woowu.

²⁸ Father, glorify your name!” Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

²⁸ Baay, màggalal sa tur!» Noonu ñu dégg baat bu jóge asamaan naan: «Màggal naa ko ba noppi, te dinaa ko màggalaat.»

²⁹The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

²⁹ Mbooloo ma fa teewoon te dégg baat ba daldi ne: «Dënnu la woon!» Ñeneen naan: «Malaakaa doon wax ak moom.»

³⁰Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

³⁰ Waaye Yeesu ne leen: «Taxuma baat boobu jolli, waaye yéena tax.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

³¹ Àtteb àddina si jot na: léegi ñu dàq malaaka mu bon, mi jiite àddina si.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

³² Te man, bu ñu ma yékkatee, ma tiim suuf, dinaa wootal nit ñépp ci man.»

³³But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

³³ Ci baat yooyu la doon misaale ni mu war a faatoo.

³⁴The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Isaiah 9:7; Daniel 2:44 (but see also Isaiah 53:8) How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁴ Mbooloo ma tontu ko ne: «Jàng nanu ci sunu téereb yoon ne, Almasi bi dina sax ba fàww. Kon yaw, nan nga man a waxe ne, “Doomu nit ki dina yékkatiku?” Kuy Doomu nit kooku?»

³⁵Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

³⁵ Yeesu ne leen: «Leer gi dootul yàgg ak yéen. Doxleen, ci bi ngeen dee am leer, ngir lëndëm bañ leen a bett. Ndaxte kuy dox ci lëndëm doo xam foo jëm.

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

³⁶ Kon ci bi ngeen dee am leer gi, gëmleen ko, ngir ngeen doon doomi leer.» Bi mu waxee loolu ba noppi, Yeesu dafa dem, nëbbatuji leen.

³⁷But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

³⁷ Firnde yi mu leen won yépp taxul ñu gëm ko,

³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1

³⁸ ngir li yonent Yàlla Esayi waxoon am:«Boroom bi, ana ku gëm sunu waare?Kan la Boroom bi won dooleem?»

³⁹For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again,

³⁹ Mënuñu woon a gëm, ndaxte Esayi dafa waxaat ne:

⁴⁰“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.” Isaiah 6:10

⁴⁰ «Yàlla dafa gumbaal seeni bët,def ba ñu dëgër bopp,ngir seeni bët bañ a gis,seen xel bañ a xam,ñu bañ a woññiku ci manngir ma wéral leen.»

⁴¹Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Isaiah 6:1

⁴¹ Esayi dafa wax loolu, ndaxte gisoon na ndamu Yeesu te mi ngi doon wax ci ay mbiram.

⁴²Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,

⁴² Fekk na ci biir njiit yi sax, ñu bare gëmoon nañu Yeesu, waaye Farisen yee tax fésaluñu ko, ndaxte dañoo ragaloon, ñu dàq leen ca jàngu ba.

⁴³for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

⁴³ Ngërëmu nit a leen gënaloon ngërëmu Yàlla.

⁴⁴Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

⁴⁴ Yeesu yégle ne: «Ku ma gëm, gëmuloo ma waaye gëm nga ki ma yónni.

⁴⁵ He who sees me sees him who sent me.

⁴⁵ Ku ma gis, gis nga ki ma yónni.

⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

⁴⁶ Ni ag leer laa wàcce ci àddina, ngir ku ma gëm du des ci lëndëm.

⁴⁷ If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

⁴⁷ Ku dégg samay wax te toppu leen, du man maa koy daan, ndaxte wàccuma ngir daan àddina, waaye damaa ñëw ngir musal ko.

⁴⁸ He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.

⁴⁸ Ku ma beddeeku te nanguwul samay wax, dina fekk fii li koy daan: sama njàngalee koy daan keroog bés bu mujj ba.

⁴⁹ For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

⁴⁹ Ndaxte waxuma ci sama coobare, waaye Baay bi ma yónni ci boppam, moo ma sant li ma war a wax ak li ma war a jàngale.

⁵⁰ I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

⁵⁰ Te xam naa ne, li muy santaane day joxe dund gu dul jeex. Kon li ma wax, dama koy wax, ni ma ko Baay bi sante.»
