JUAN 11
Ang Pagkamatay ni Lazaro
1-2 May usa ka tawo nga ginganlag Lazaro. Siya ug ang iyang mga igsoon nga si Maria ug si Marta nagpuyo sa Betania. Kini si Maria mao kadtong babaye nga mibubo ug pahumot sa mga tiil sa Ginoo ug iyang gipahiran sa iyang buhok. Ang iyang igsoon nga si Lazaro nagsakit.3 Busa nagpadala ang managsoon nga babaye ug mensahe kang Jesus nga ang iyang gihigugma nga higala nagsakit.
4 Pagkadungog ni Jesus niini, miingon siya,
5 Pinangga ni Jesus si Marta, si Maria ug si Lazaro.6 Apan gipalabay pa niya ang duha ka adlaw human siya masayod nga si Lazaro nagsakit.7 Unya, miingon siya sa iyang mga sumusunod,8 Miingon ang iyang mga sumusunod,9 Miingon si Jesus,10 Apan kon maglakaw siya kon gabii mapandol siya tungod kay ngitngit." + 11:9-10 Gisulti ni Jesus kini nga sanglitanan aron ipahibalo kanila nga wala pay daotan nga mahitabo kanila didto sa Judea. 11 Human niini miingon pa gayod si Jesus,12 Mitubag ang iyang mga sumusunod,13 Abi nilag tinuod nga natulog lang si Lazaro, apan ang buot ipasabot ni Jesus nga patay na si Lazaro.14 Busa giingnan sila ni Jesus sa dayag,15 Apan nagapasalamat ako nga wala ako didto kay alang kini sa inyong kaayohan, tungod kay may himuon ako aron madugangan pa gayod ang inyong pagtuo kanako. Dali, adtoon nato siya."
16 Busa si Tomas nga gitawag nga Kaluha miingon sa iyang mga kauban,
Si Jesus mao ang Nagahatag ug Kinabuhi
17 Sa pag-abot ni Jesus sa Betania, nabalitaan niya nga upat na ka adlaw nga nalubong si Lazaro.18 Ang Betania mga tulo lang ka kilometro gikan sa Jerusalem.
19 Busa daghan nga mga Judio nga taga-Jerusalem ang nangadto aron pagduyog sa kasub-anan ni Marta ug ni Maria sa pagkamatay sa ilang igsoon.
20 Sa pagkadungog ni Marta nga nagapadulong na si Jesus, migawas siya aron sa pagsugat kaniya, apan si Maria nagpabilin sa balay.21 Pagkita ni Marta ug ni Jesus, miingon siya,22 Apan nahibalo ako nga bisan karon mohatag ang Dios kanimo sa bisan unsa nga imong pangayoon kaniya."23 Miingon si Jesus kaniya,24 Mitubag si Marta,25 Miingon si Jesus kaniya,26 Si bisan kinsa nga nagakinabuhi ug nagatuo kanako dili na mamatay bisan kanus-a. Motuo ka ba niini?"
27 Mitubag si Marta,
Mihilak si Jesus
28 Human mosulti si Marta niini, mibalik siya sa ilang balay ug gitawag niya ang iyang igsoon nga si Maria ug gihunghongan,29 Pagkadungog niadto ni Maria, mitindog siya ug midali paggawas ug miadto kang Jesus.30 (Wala pa makasulod si Jesus sa lungsod sa Betania. Didto pa lang siya sa dapit diin siya gitagbo ni Marta.)
31 Pagkakita sa mga Judio nga nakigduyog sa kasub-anan ni Maria nga mitindog siya ug midali paggawas, gisunod nila siya, kay gipakaingon nilag moadto siya sa gilubngan aron mohilak didto.
32 Pag-abot ni Maria didto kang Jesus, miluhod siya ug miingon,33 Pagkakita niya nga naghilak si Maria ug ingon man ang mga kauban niini nga mga Judio, natandog gayod ang iyang kasingkasing.34 Nangutana dayon siya kanila, Mitubag sila,35 Mihilak si Jesus.36 Busa miingon ang mga Judio,
37 Apan ang uban miingon,
Gibanhaw ni Jesus si Lazaro
38 Natandog pag-usab ang kasingkasing ni Jesus. Ug miadto dayon sila didto sa gilubngan kang Lazaro. Usa kini ka langub nga gitakloban ug usa ka bato.39 add Pag-abot nila didto, miingon si Jesus, Apan miingon si Marta nga igsoon sa namatay,40 Miingon si Jesus kaniya,41 Busa gikuha nila ang bato. Mihangad si Jesus sa langit ug miingon,42 Nasayod ako nga kanunay ka nga nagapaminaw kanako, apan gisulti ko kini alang sa mga tawo nga ania karon nag-alirong kanako, aron motuo sila nga ikaw mao ang nagpadala kanako dinhi sa kalibotan. "43 Human niyag sulti niini, misinggit siya,
44 Ug migawas ang namatay nga si Lazaro nga ang iyang kamot ug tiil naputos pa sa mga panapton, ug ang iyang nawong naputos usab sa panyo. Miingon si Jesus kanila,
Nagplano ang mga Kadagkoan sa mga Judio nga Patyon si Jesus
(Mt. 26:1-5; Mc. 14:1-2; Lu. 22:1-2)
45 Daghan sa mga Judio nga mibisita sa ilang Maria ang nakakita sa gibuhat ni Jesus ug mituo kaniya.46 Apan ang uban kanila miadto sa mga Pariseo ug misugilon sa gibuhat ni Jesus.47 Busa gitawag sa mga Pariseo ug sa mga kadagkoan sa mga pari ang tanan nga miyembro sa Korte sa mga Judio. Ug sa dihang nagtigom na sila, nag-ingon sila,48 Kon pasagdan lang nato siya, ang tanan motuo na kaniya nga siya mao ang gipadala sa Dios nga mahimong hari sa Israel. Ug kon mahitabo kini, sulongon kita sa mga sundalo sa Roma ug gub-on nila ang atong templo ug ang atong tibuok nasod!"49 Apan ang usa sa mga kauban nila nga si Caifas, nga pangulong pari niadtong tuiga, miingon,50 Wala ba kamo makahunahuna nga mas maayo pa nga usa lang ka tawo ang mamatay alang sa atong nasod kaysa ang tibuok nasod ang mawala?"51 Kining iyang gisulti dili iyang kaugalingon nga panghunahuna, kondili ingon nga pangulong pari niadtong tuiga, natagna niya nga kinahanglan nga mamatay si Jesus alang sa mga Judio.52 Ug dili lang alang kanila, kondili alang usab sa tanan nga anak sa Dios nga nagkatibulaag sa ubang lugar, aron matigom ug mahiusa silang tanan.53 Sukad niadtong adlawa, nagplano na ang kadagkoan sa mga Judio sa pagpatay kang Jesus.
54 Busa wala na magpakita si Jesus didto sa mga lungsod sa mga Judio, kondili miadto siya sa lugar nga duol sa kamingawan, sa usa ka lungsod nga gitawag Efraim. Mipuyo siya didto uban sa iyang mga sumusunod.
55 Karon, hapit na ang pista sa mga Judio nga gitawag nga Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel. Busa daghang mga tawo ang miadto sa Jerusalem aron nga sa dili pa moabot ang pista makapanghinlo na sila sa ilang kaugalingon sumala sa nabatasan sa ilang relihiyon. 56 Gipangita nila si Jesus didto sa templo apan wala nila makita. Busa nagpangutan-anay sila,57 Niadto diay nga higayon nagsugo nang daan ang mga kadagkoan sa mga pari ug ang mga Pariseo nga si bisan kinsa nga masayod kon asa si Jesus kinahanglan mosulti kanila aron madakop nila siya.
John 11
The Death of Lazarus
1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.t2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oilt and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)s3 So the sisters sent a messaget to Jesus,t “Lord, look, the one you love is sick.”4 When Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not lead to death,ts but to God’s glory,t so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”s
5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)s
6 So when he heard that Lazarust was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days.7 Then after this, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”s8 The disciples replied,t “Rabbi, the Jewish leaderst were just now tryingt to stone you to death! Aret you going there again?”9 Jesus replied,t “Are there not twelve hours in a day? If anyone walks around in the daytime, he does not stumble,t because he sees the light of this world.s
10 But if anyone walks around at night,t he stumbles,t because the light is not in him.”
11 After he said this, he added,t “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep.t But I am going there to awaken him.”12 Then the disciples replied,t “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 (Now Jesus had been talking aboutt his death, but theyt thought he had been talking about real sleep.)ts
14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,15 and I am gladt for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe.s But let us go to him.”
16 So Thomas (called Didymuss)s said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”s
Speaking with Martha and Mary
17 Whent Jesus arrived,t he found that Lazarust had been in the tomb four days already.ts18 (Now Bethany was less than two milest from Jerusalem,s19 so many of the Jewish people of the regiont had come to Martha and Mary to console themt over the loss of their brother.)ts20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.s21 Marthat said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will grantt you.”s
23 Jesus replied,t “Your brother will come back to life again.”ts24 Martha said,t “I know that he will come back to life againt in the resurrection at the last day.”25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will livet even if he dies,26 and the one who lives and believes in me will never die.t Do you believe this?”
27 She replied,t “Yes, Lord, I believet that you are the Christ,ts the Son of God who comes into the world.”t
28 And when she had said this, Marthat went and called her sister Mary, saying privately,t “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”t29 So when Maryt heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)
31 Then the peoplet who were with Maryt in the house consoling her saw hert get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weept there.
32 Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the peoplet who had come with her weeping, he was intensely movedt in spirit and greatly distressed.t34 He asked,t “Where have you laid him?”t They replied,t “Lord, come and see.”35 Jesus wept.s36 Thus the people who had come to mournt said, “Look how much he loved him!”
37 But some of them said, “This is the man who caused the blind man to see!t Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarust from dying?”
Lazarus Raised from the Dead
38 Jesus, intensely movedt again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)s39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”t Martha, the sister of the deceased,t replied, “Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell,t because he has been buriedt four days.”s40 Jesus responded,t “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”41 So they took awayt the stone. Jesus looked upwardt and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.t42 I knew that you always listen to me,t but I said thist for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”43 Whent he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice,s “Lazarus, come out!”
44 The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth,s and a cloth wrapped around his face.t Jesus said to them, “Unwrap himt and let him go.”
The Response of the Jewish Leaders
45 Then many of the people,t who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesust did, believed in him.46 But some of them went to the Phariseess and reported to themt what Jesus had done.47 So the chief priests and the Phariseest called the councilt together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.
48 If we allow him to go on in this way,t everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuaryt and our nation.”
49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said,t “You know nothing at all!50 You do not realizet that it is more to your advantage to have one mant die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”s51 (Now he did not say this on his own,t but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,t52 and not for the Jewish nationt only,s but to gather togethert into one the children of God who are scattered.)s
53 So from that day they planned together to kill him.
54 Thus Jesus no longer wentt around publiclyt among the Judeans,t but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim,t and stayed there with his disciples.55 Now the Jewish feast of Passovert was near, and many people went up to Jerusalems from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse themselves ritually.t56 Thus they were looking for Jesus,t and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts,t “What do you think? That he won’t come to the feast?”
57 (Now the chief priests and the Phariseest had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesust was should report it, so that they could arrestt him.)s
