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

¹Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;

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

²they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;

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.

³Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.

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

⁴Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —

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

⁵`Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?`

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

⁶and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

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

⁷Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

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

⁸for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.`

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.

⁹A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

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

¹⁰and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

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

¹¹because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

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

¹²On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,

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!»

¹³took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;`

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

¹⁴and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

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

¹⁵`Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass` colt.`

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.

¹⁶And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

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.

¹⁷The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

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

¹⁸because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

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

¹⁹the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, `Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.`

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

²⁰And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

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

²¹these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see Jesus;`

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

²²Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

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

²³And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;

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.

²⁴verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;

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

²⁵he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it;

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.

²⁶if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.

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.

²⁷`Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;

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

²⁸Father, glorify Thy name.` There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];`

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

²⁹the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger hath spoken to him.`

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

³⁰Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

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

³¹now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

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

³²and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.`

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

³³And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

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?»

³⁴the multitude answered him, `We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?`

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.

³⁵Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

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.

³⁶while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.` These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

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

³⁷yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

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

³⁸that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?`

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

³⁹Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

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.»

⁴⁰`He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;`

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

⁴¹these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

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.

⁴²Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

⁴³ Ngërëmu nit a leen gënaloon ngërëmu Yàlla.

⁴³for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

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

⁴⁴And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

⁴⁵ Ku ma gis, gis nga ki ma yónni.

⁴⁵and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

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

⁴⁶I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;

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

⁴⁷and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

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

⁴⁸`He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,

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.

⁴⁹because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may 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.»

⁵⁰and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.`
