¹ Amoon na benn waay bu woppoon, ñu koy wax Lasaar. Ma nga dëkkoon Betani, moom ak Maryaama ak Màrt, mi mu bokkaloon ndey ak baay.

¹And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

² Maryaama mooy jigéen jiy sottiji latkoloñ ci tànki Boroom bi, fompe ko kawaram. Moom la càmmiñam Lasaar woppoon.

²and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

³ Ñaari jigéeni Lasaar yónnee ca Yeesu ne ko: «Boroom bi, sa xarit wopp na.»

³therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;`

⁴ Bi Yeesu déggee xebaar boobu, mu ne: «Lasaar de, woppam jooju du ko mujje; day wone ndamu Yàlla, tey màggal Doomu Yàlla ji.»

⁴and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.`

⁵ Yeesu soppoon na Màrt ak Maryaama ak Lasaar.

⁵And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁶ Bi mu yégee nag ne, Lasaar wopp na, mu toogaat yeneen ñaari fan ca bérab, ba mu nekkoon.

⁶when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁷ Gannaaw loolu mu ne taalibe ya: «Nanu dellu Yude.»

⁷then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;`

⁸ Taalibe ya tontu ko ne: «Kilifa gi, yàggul dara waa Yude doon nañu la wut a rey ak i xeer, nga di fa dellu?»

⁸the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!`

⁹ Yeesu ne leen: «Xanaa du bëccëg fukki waxtook ñaar la? Kuy dox bëccëg, du fakkastalu, ndaxte day gis leeru àddina si.

⁹Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

¹⁰ Waaye kuy dox guddi, dina fakkastalu, ndaxte leer nekkul ci moom.»

¹⁰and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.`

¹¹ Yeesu wax loolu, teg ca ne: «Sunu xarit Lasaar nelaw na, waaye maa ngi dem yee ko.»

¹¹These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;`

¹² Taalibe ya tontu ne: «Boroom bi, bu nelawee kay, kon dina wér.»

¹²therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;`

¹³ Yeesu dafa bëggoon a wax ne, Lasaar dee na, waaye taalibe yi dañoo xalaatoon ne, mbiri nelaw rekk lay wax.

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹⁴ Ci kaw loolu Yeesu wax ci lu leer ne: «Lasaar dee na.

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁵ Bég naa ngir yéen ndax li ma fa nekkul, ngir seen ngëm gën a dëgër. Waaye nanu ko seeti.»

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;`

¹⁶ Noonu Tomaa, ki turam di tekki «Séex bi,» daldi ne yeneen taalibe ya: «Nanu dem nun itam, deeyandoo ak moom!»

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,`

¹⁷ Bi Yeesu agsee, mu fekk ne, bi ñu dencee Lasaar ak léegi, mat na ñeenti fan.

¹⁷Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁸ Betani ma nga woon ca wetu Yerusalem, diggante bi matul woon sax ñetti kilomet.

¹⁸And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁹ Yawut yu bare ñëwoon nañu kër Màrt ak Maryaama, ngir dëfël leen ci seen deewu càmmiñ.

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

²⁰ Bi Yeesu ñëwee, Màrt yég ko, dem di dajeek moom; fekk booba Maryaamaa nga toogoon ca kër ga.

²⁰Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

²¹ Màrt ne Yeesu: «Boroom bi, boo fi nekkoon de, sama càmmiñ li du dee.

²¹Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²² Waaye xam naa ne, fii nu tollu sax, loo ñaan Yàlla, mu may la ko.»

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;`

²³ Yeesu ne ko: «Sa càmmiñ dina dekki.»

²³Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.`

²⁴ Màrt tontu ko ne: «Xam naa ne, dina jóg bésu ndekkite la, keroog bés bu mujj ba.»

²⁴Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;`

²⁵ Yeesu ne ko: «Man maay ndekkite li, maay dund gi. Ku ma gëm, boo deeyee it, dinga dund.

²⁵Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁶ Rax-ca-dolli kuy dund te gëm ma, doo dee mukk. Ndax gëm nga loolu?»

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁷ Mu tontu ko ne: «Waaw Boroom bi. Gëm naa ne, yaay Almasi bi, di Doomu Yàlla, ji war a ñëw àddina.»

²⁷believest thou this?` she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.`

²⁸ Bi Màrt waxee loolu, mu daldi dem woowi Maryaama ne ko ci pett: «Kilifa gaa ngi fi; mi ngi lay laaj.»

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;`

²⁹ Bi Maryaama déggee loolu, mu daldi jóg, gaawantoo dem ca Yeesu.

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

³⁰ Te fekk duggagul woon ca dëkk ba, waaye ma nga woon ba tey ca bérab, ba mu daje woon ak Màrt.

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³¹ Noonu Yawut, ya nekkoon ca kër ga di dëfël Maryaama, gis ko mu ne bërét génn, ñu daldi koy topp, defe ne, day jooyi ca bàmmeel ba.

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.`

³² Bi Maryaama agsee nag ca Yeesu, ba gis ko, mu daanu ciy tànkam ne ko: «Boroom bi, boo fi nekkoon, sama càmmiñ du dee.»

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;`

³³ Yeesu gis ne, mi ngi jooy te Yawut yi ànd ak moom itam ñu ngi jooy. Mu daldi jàq, am naqar wu réy.

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³⁴ Mu ne leen: «Fu ngeen ko denc?» Ñu tontu ko ne: «Kaay gis, Sang bi.»

³⁴`Where have ye laid him?` they say to him, `Sir, come and see;`

³⁵ Yeesu jooy.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶ Noonu nag, Yawut ya ne: «Gis ngeen ni mu ko bëgge woon!»

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!`

³⁷ Waaye am na ca ñoom ñu doon wax naan: «Moom mi ubbi bëti gumba gi, ndax mënul woon a fexe ba Lasaar du dee?»

³⁷and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?`

³⁸ Yeesu dellu am naqar wu réy, daldi dem ca bàmmeel ba. Pax la mu ñu yett ci doj, ube ko xeer.

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁹ Yeesu ne: «Dindileen xeer wi!» Màrt, jigéenu ku dee ki ne ko: «Boroom bi, dina xasaw xunn fii mu nekk, ndaxte am na ci bàmmeel bi ñeenti fan.»

³⁹Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;` the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;`

⁴⁰ Yeesu ne ko: «Ndax waxuma la ne, boo gëmee, dinga gis ndamu Yàlla?»

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?`

⁴¹ Ñu daldi dindi xeer wa. Yeesu xool ci kaw, ne jàkk asamaan, ñaan Yàlla ne: «Baay, sant naa la ci li nga ma déglu ba noppi.

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

⁴² Xam naa ne, doo jóg ci di ma déglu, waaye dama koy wax, ngir nit ñi ma wër gëm ne, yaa ma yónni.»

⁴²and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.`

⁴³ Bi mu waxee loolu, Yeesu woote ak baat bu dëgër ne: «Lasaar, ñëwal ci biti!»

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;`

⁴⁴ Néew bi daldi génn, ñu gis càngaay, li ñu takke woon tànk yi ak loxo yi, ak kaala, gi ñu muure woon kanam gi. Yeesu ne leen: «Tekkileen ko, bàyyi ko mu dem.»

⁴⁴and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.`

⁴⁵ Yawut yu bare ca ña ñëwoon kër Maryaama te gis li Yeesu defoon, daldi koy gëm.

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁶ Waaye amoon na it ñu demoon ci Farisen ya, nettali leen la Yeesu defoon.

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁷ Farisen ya ak saraxalekat yu mag ya woo kureelu àttekat ya ne: «Nit kii kat, kéemaan yi muy def a ngi bëgg a bare. Lu nuy def nag?

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁸ Ndaxte su nu ko bàyyee mu jàppoo nii, ñépp dinañu ko gëm, te kilifay Room yi dinañu ñëw, daaneel sunu kër Yàlla gi, tas sunu réew!»

⁴⁸if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.`

⁴⁹ Amoon na ca ñoom ku ñuy wax Kayif te mu nekkoon saraxalekat bu mag ba at mooma; mu ne leen: «Xamuleen ci mbir mi dara.

⁴⁹and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁵⁰ Xanaa xamuleen ne, kenn nit rekk dee ngir ñépp, mooy li gën ci yéen? Bu ko defee réew mi du tas.»

⁵⁰nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.`

⁵¹ Loolu Kayif waxu ko woon ci sagoom, waaye li mu nekkoon saraxalekat bu mag ba at mooma, moo tax Yàlla xiirtal ko mu ne, Yeesu dina dee ngir réew mi.

⁵¹And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵² Du woon rekk ngir xeet woowu, waaye ngir itam doomi Yàlla, yi tasaaroo yépp, dajaloo nekk benn.

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

⁵³ Keroog la njiiti Yawut ya dogu ci rey Yeesu.

⁵³From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

⁵⁴ Taxoon na ba Yeesu dootul doxantu ci biir Yawut ya. Noonu mu dem ca gox bu jege màndiŋ ma, ca dëkku Efrayim. Foofa nag la toog ak ay taalibeem.

⁵⁴Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

⁵⁵ Bésu Jéggi ba, di màggalu Yawut ya, mu ngi doon jubsi, ba ñu bare ca waa àll ba di dem Yerusalem balaa booba, ngir sanguji set.

⁵⁵And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

⁵⁶ Ñu ngi doon wut Yeesu tey waxante ca kër Yàlla ga naan: «Lu ngeen ci xam? Ndax dina ñëw ci màggal gi walla déet?»

⁵⁶they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?`

⁵⁷ Saraxalekat yu mag ya ak Farisen ya daldi santaane ne, bu kenn xamee fu Yeesu nekk, mu yégle ko, ngir ñu man koo jàpp.

⁵⁷and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.
