John 11

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray narary, dia Lazarosy avy any Betania, tanànan'i Maria sy Marta rahavaviny.

(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Maria dia ilay nanosotra ny Tompo tamin'ny menaka manitra sy namaoka ny tongony tamin'ny volon-dohany, ary Lazarosy anadahiny no narary.

Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

Ary izy mirahavavy dia naniraka tany amin'i Jesosy hanao hoe: Tompoko, marary ilay tianao.

When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

Ary rehefa ren'i Jesosy izany, dia hoy Izy: Tsy ho fahafatesana no anton'izany aretina izany, fa ny hampisehoana ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra, mba hankalazana ny Zanak'Andriamanitra.

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

Ary Jesosy tia an'i Marta sy ny rahavaviny ary Lazarosy.

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

Koa nony ren'i Jesosy fa narary Lazarosy, dia mbola nitoetra indroa andro teo amin'izay nitoerany ihany Izy.

Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.

Rehefa afaka izany, dia hoy Izy tamin'ny mpianatra: Andeha isika ho any Jodia indray.

His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Raby ô, vao haingana teo no nitadiavan'ny Jiosy hitora-bato Anao, ka hankany indray va Hianao?

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

Jesosy namaly hoe: Tsy roa ambin'ny folo va ny ora amin'ny indray andro? Raha misy mandeha amin'ny antoandro, dia tsy mba tafintohina izy, fa mahita ny fahazavan'izao tontolo izao.

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

Fa raha misy kosa mandeha amin'ny alina, dia ho tafintohina izay, ka tsy misy mazava ao aminy.

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Izany no nolazainy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hoy Izy taminy: Matory Lazarosy sakaizantsika; fa handeha hamoha azy Aho.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

Dia hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Tompoko, raha matory izy, dia ho tsara ihany.

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

Nefa Jesosy nilaza ny fahafatesany; fa nataon'izy ireo kosa fa fialan-tsasatra amin'ny torimaso no nolazainy.

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

Ary tamin'izany Jesosy dia nilaza tsotra taminy hoe: Maty Lazarosy;

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

ary faly Aho noho ny aminareo, satria tsy teo Aho, mba hinoanareo; fa andeha isika hankany aminy.

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

Dia hoy Tomasy (izay atao hoe Didymo) tamin'ny mpianatra namany: Andeha isika mba hiara-maty aminy.

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

Ary nony tonga Jesosy, dia hitany fa efa nilevina hefarana izy.

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

Ary Betania dia tao akaikin'i Jerosalema, tokony ho dimy ambin'ny folo stadio no elanelany.

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Ary maro tamin'ny Jiosy no efa tonga teo amin'i Marta sy Maria hitsapa alahelo azy noho ny amin'ny anadahiny.

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

Ary Marta, raha nandre fa tamy Jesosy, dia nandeha nitsena Azy; fa Maria kosa nitoetra tao an-trano.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Ary hoy Marta tamin'i Jesosy: Tompoko, raha teto Hianao, dia tsy maty ny anadahiko.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Nefa fantatro fa na dia ankehitriny izao aza na inona na inona no hangatahinao amin'Andriamanitra dia homen'Andriamanitra Anao.

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Hoy Jesosy taminy: Hitsangana ny anadahinao.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Fa hoy Marta taminy: Fantatro ihany fa hitsangana izy amin'ny fitsanganan'ny maty amin'ny andro farany;

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Hoy Jesosy taminy: Izaho no fananganana ny maty sy fiainana; izay mino Ahy, na dia maty aza, dia ho velona indray.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Ary izay rehetra velona ka mino Ahy dia tsy ho faty mandrakizay. Mino izany va ianao?

She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

Hoy izy taminy: Eny, Tompoko; mino aho fa Hianao no Kristy, Zanak'Andriamanitra, Ilay ho tonga amin'izao tontolo izao.

And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

Ary rehefa nilaza izany izy, dia lasa nandeha ka niantso mangingina an'i Maria rahavaviny, nanao hoe: Tonga ny Mpampianatra ka miantso anao.

As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

Ary raha vao nandre izany Maria, dia nitsangana faingana izy ka nankeo aminy.

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

Fa Jesosy tsy mbola tonga tao an-tanàna, fa mbola teo amin'ilay nitsenan'i Marta Azy ihany.

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

Ary ny Jiosy izay tao amin'i Maria tao an-trano ka nitsapa alahelo azy, raha nahita azy nitsangana faingana ka nivoaka, dia nanaraka azy, satria nataony fa nankany amin'ny fasana hitomany any izy.

Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Ary Maria, rehefa tonga teo amin'nitoeran'i Jesosy ka nahita Azy, dia niankohoka teo amin'ny tongony ka nanao taminy hoe: Tompoko, raha teto Hianao, dia tsy maty ny anadahiko.

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

Ary Jesosy nony nahita azy nitomany sy ny Jiosy izay niaraka taminy nitomany koa, dia vonto ny fanahiny, ka tora-kovitra Izy;

And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

ary hoy Izy: Aiza moa no nandevenanareo azy? Dia hoy ireo taminy: Tompoko, andeha hizaha.

Jesus wept.

Jesosy nitomany.

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

Dia hoy ny Jiosy: Akory ity haben'ny fitiavany azy!

And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

Fa hoy ny sasany: Moa tsy hain'ilehity, Izay nampahiratra ny mason'ilay jamba va, ny manao izay tsy ho nahafaty an-dralehilahy ity?

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

Dia vonto indray ny fanahin'i Jesosy ka nankeo amin'ny fasana Izy; ary zohy izany, sady nisy vato narindrina teo.

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

Hoy Jesosy: Esory ny vato. Hoy Marta, anabavin'ny maty, taminy: Tompoko, maimbo izy izao, fa efa hefarana izay.

Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

Hoy Jesosy taminy: Tsy voalazako va fa raha hino ianao, dia ho hitanao ny voninahitr'Andriamanitra?

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

Dia nesoriny ny vato. Ary Jesosy dia nanandratra ny masony ka nanao hoe: Ray ô, misaotra Anao Aho, fa efa nihaino Ahy Hianao.

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Raha Izaho, dia fantatro fa mihaino Ahy mandrakariva Hianao; fa noho ny vahoaka mitsangana manodidina no nilazako izany, mba hinoany fa Hianao no naniraka Ahy.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Ary rehefa nanao izany teny izany Izy, dia niantso tamin'ny feo mahery hoe: Ry Lazarosy, mivoaha!

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Dia nivoaka ny maty nisy fehim-paty ny tànany sy ny tongony, sady voafehy mosara koa ny tavany. Hoy Jesosy tamin'ny olona: Vahao izy, ka avelao handeha.

Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

Ary maro tamin'ny Jiosy, dia ireo nankeo amin'i Maria ka nahita ny zavatra nataon'i Jesosy ireo, no nino Azy.

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

Fa ny sasany tamin'ireo kosa dia lasa nankany amin'ny Fariseo ka nilaza taminy izay nataony.

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo nanangona ny Synedriona ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hataontsika? fa iny Lehilahy iny dia manao famantarana maro.

If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

Raha avelantsika hanao toy izany ihany Izy, dia hino Azy avokoa ny olona rehetra; ary ho avy ny Romana ka handrava ny fonenantsika sy ny firenentsika.

And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

Ary ny anankiray taminy, dia Kaiafa, mpisoronabe tamin'izany taona izany, nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo tsy mahalala na inona na inona,

Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

na misaina akory fa tsara ho anareo, raha ny lehilahy iray no ho faty hamonjy ny firenena, mba tsy ho rava avokoa ity firenena ity.

And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

Ary tsy niteny izany ho azy izy, fa satria mpisoronabe tamin'izany taona izany izy, dia naminany fa Jesosy ho faty hamonjy ny firenena;

And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

ary tsy hamonjy io firenena io ihany, fa mba hanangona ny zanak'Andriamanitra izay efa niely ho antoko iray.

Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Koa hatramin'izany andro izany dia nihendry hahafaty Azy ireo.

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

Ary Jesosy tsy nandeha niharihary teny amin'ny Jiosy intsony; fa niala teo Izy nankany amin'ny tany akaikin'ny efitra, ho any an-tanàna atao hoe Efraima, ary nitoetra tany Izy mbamin'ny mpianatra.

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

Ary efa akaiky ny Pasky ny Jiosy; ary maro avy tany an-tsaha no niakatra ho any Jerosalema talohan'ny Paska mba hanadio ny tenany.

Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

Dia nitady an'i Jesosy ireo, raha nijanona teo an-kianjan'ny tempoly, ka niresaka hoe: Ahoana no hevitrareo? Tsy mba ho tonga amin'ny andro firavoravoana va Izy?

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

Ary ny lohan'ny mpisorona sy ny Fariseo efa nandidy fa raha misy olona mahalala izay itoerany, dia tsy maintsy milaza, mba hisamborany Azy.
