1 W axaa jiray nin buka oo ah Laasaros reer Beytaniya ee joogay tuulada Maryan iyo walaasheed Maarta.

A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in the town of Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha.

2 M aryantaasu waxay ahayd tii Rabbiga cadar marisay oo cagihiisa timaheeda ku tirtirtay, oo walaalkeed Laasaros bukay.

This was the Mary who put perfume on the Lord and dried His feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.

3 S idaa aawadeed walaalihii farriin bay Rabbiga u direen iyagoo leh, Sayidow, ogow, kii aad jeclayd waa bukaaye.

The sisters sent word to Jesus, saying, “Lord, your friend is sick!”

4 L aakiin Ciise markuu taas maqlay wuxuu yidhi, Bukaankanu kan dhimashada ma ahaa, laakiin waa ammaanta Ilaah aawadeed in Wiilka Ilaah lagu ammaano.

When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. It has happened so that it will bring honor to God. And the Son of God will be honored by it also.” Jesus Tells of the Death of Lazarus

5 C iise ayaa jeclaa Maarta iyo walaasheed iyo Laasaros.

Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

6 S idaa aawadeed markuu maqlay inuu buko, laba maalmood oo kale ayuu meeshuu joogay iska sii joogay.

But when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was two more days.

7 M arkaas dabadeed ayuu xertii ku yidhi, Yahuudiya aan haddana tagno.

Then He said to His followers, “Let us go into the country of Judea again.”

8 X ertii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Macallimow, Yuhuuddu waxay haddana doonayeen inay ku dhagxiyaan, ma waxaad mar kale u kacaysaa meeshaas?

The followers said to Him, “Teacher, the Jews tried to throw stones at You to kill You not long ago. Are You going there again?”

9 C iise ayaa ugu jawaabay, Maalintu miyaanay laba iyo toban saacadood ahayn? Qof hadduu maalinta socdo ma turunturoodo, waayo, wuxuu arkaa iftiinka dunidan.

Jesus said, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks during the day, he will not fall. He sees the light of this world.

10 L aakiin qof hadduu habeenka socdo, wuu turunturoodaa, waayo, iftiinku kuma jiro isaga.

If a man walks during the night, he will fall. The light is not in him.”

11 W axyaalahaas ayuu ku hadlay, oo dabadeedto wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Saaxiibkeen Laasaros waa hurdaa, laakiin waan u tegayaa inaan soo toosiyo.

After Jesus had said this, He spoke again and said, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping. I will go and wake him up.”

12 S idaa daraaddeed xertii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidow, hadduu hurdo wuu bogsanayaa.

The followers said to Him, “If he is sleeping, he will get well.”

13 C iise wuxuu ka hadlayay dhimashadiisa, iyaguse waxay u maleeyeen inuu ka hadlayo nasashada hurdada.

But Jesus meant Lazarus was dead. They thought He meant Lazarus was resting in sleep.

14 C iise haddaba ayaa bayaan ugu yidhi, Laasaros waa dhintay.

Then Jesus said to them, “Lazarus is dead.

15 A nigu waa ku faraxsanahay aawadiin inaanan halkaas joogin si aad u rumaysataan, laakiin aan u tagno.

Because of you I am glad I was not there so that you may believe. Come, let us go to him.”

16 S idaa aawadeed Toomas, kii Didumos la odhan jiray, wuxuu ku yidhi xertii la socotay, Innaguna aan tagno si aynu ula dhimanno.

17 H addaba markuu Ciise yimid wuxuu ogaaday inuu afar maalmood xabaasha ku jiray.

When Jesus got there, He heard that Lazarus had been in the grave four days.

18 H addana Beytaniya waa u dhowayd Yeruusaalem, oo waxay u jirtay qiyaas shan iyo toban istaadiyon.

Bethany was about one-half hour walk from Jerusalem.

19 Y uhuud badan waxay u yimaadeen Maarta iyo Maryan inay walaalkood uga tacsiyeeyaan.

Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give words of comfort about their brother.

20 M aarta haddaba markay maqashay in Ciise imanayo, ayay ka hor tagtay, Maryanse gurigay iska fadhiday.

Martha heard that Jesus was coming and went to meet Him. Mary stayed in the house.

21 M arkaasaa Maarta waxay Ciise ku tidhi, Sayidow, haddaad halkan joogtid, walaalkay ma uu dhinteen.

Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 H adda waxaan garanayaa in wax alla waxaad Ilaah weyddiisatid uu ku siinayo.

I know even now God will give You whatever You ask.”

23 M arkaasaa Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi, Walaalkaa waa sara kici doonaa.

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24 M aartaa ku tidhi, Waan garanayaa inuu kici doono wakhtiga sarakicidda ee maalinta u dambaysa.

Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again when the dead are raised from the grave on the last day.”

25 C iise ayaa ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay sarakicidda iyo nolosha. Kii i rumaystaa, in kastoo uu dhinto, wuu noolaan doonaa.

Jesus said to her, “I am the One Who raises the dead and gives them life. Anyone who puts his trust in Me will live again, even if he dies.

26 K ii kasta oo nool oo i rumaystaa weligii ma dhiman doono. Waxan ma rumaysan tahay?

Anyone who lives and has put his trust in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27 W axay ku tidhi, Haah, Sayidow, waan rumaysnahay inaad tahay Masiixa oo ah Wiilka Ilaah ee dunida iman lahaa.

She answered, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God. You are the One Who was to come into the world.” Lazarus Is Raised from the Dead

28 M arkay taas tidhi, way tagtay oo hoos ahaan ugu soo yeedhay walaasheed Maryan, oo waxay ku tidhi, Macallinkii halkan buu joogaa, waana kuu yeedhayaa.

After Martha said this, she went and called her sister Mary. She said without anyone else hearing, “The Teacher is here and has sent for you.”

29 I yaduna kolkay maqashay, dhaqso bay u kacday oo u tagtay.

When Mary heard this, she got up and went to Him.

30 C iise weli ma iman tuulada, laakiin wuxuu weli joogay meeshii Maarta kaga hor tagtay.

Jesus had not yet come into their town. He was still where Martha had met Him.

31 H addaba Yuhuuddii iyada guriga la joogtay oo u tacsiyaynaysay, markay arkeen Maryan inay dhaqso u kacday oo baxday, ayay raaceen, iyagoo u malaynaya inay xabaashii tegayso inay meeshaas ku baroorato.

The Jews had been in the house comforting Mary. They saw her get up and hurry out. They followed her and said, “She is going to the grave to cry there.”

32 H addaba Maryan markay timid meeshii Ciise joogay oo ay aragtay isaga, waxay ku dhacday cagihiisa iyadoo ku leh, Sayidow, haddaad halkan joogtid, walaalkay ma uu dhinteen.

Mary went to the place where Jesus was. When she saw Him, she got down at His feet. She said to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33 C iise haddaba markuu arkay iyadoo barooranaysa, iyo Yuhuuddii la socotay oo la barooranaysa, ayuu ka qalbi xumaaday, wuuna murugooday.

Jesus saw her crying. The Jews who came with her were crying also. His heart was very sad and He was troubled.

34 M arkaasuu yidhi, Xaggee baad dhigteen? Waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidow, kaalay oo arag.

He said, “Where did you lay Lazarus?” They said, “Lord, come and see.”

35 C iise waa ooyay.

Then Jesus cried.

36 S idaa daraaddeed Yuhuuddu waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal eega, siduu u jeclaa.

The Jews said, “See how much He loved Lazarus.”

37 Q aarkoodse waxay yidhaahdeen, Ninkan oo indhaha u furay kii indha la'aa, miyuusan wax ka samayn karin inuusan ninkaasu dhiman?

Some of them said, “This Man opened the eyes of the blind man. Could He not have kept this man from dying?”

38 S idaa daraaddeed Ciise oo mar kale qalbi xumaaday ayaa xabaashii yimid. Waxay ahayd god, dhagax baana saarnaa.

Jesus went to the grave with a sad heart. The grave was a hole in the side of a hill. A stone covered the door.

39 C iise ayaa yidhi, Dhagaxa ka qaada. Maarta oo ahayd kii dhintay walaashiis, waxay ku tidhi, Sayidow, hadda wuu urayaa, waayo, afar maalmood buu mootanaa.

Jesus said, “Take the stone away.” The dead man’s sister, Martha, said to Him, “Lord, by now his body has a bad smell. He has been dead four days.”

40 C iise wuxuu ku yidhi, miyaanan kugu odhan, Haddaad rumaysatid, waxaad arki lahayd ammaanta Ilaah?

Jesus said to her, “Did I not say that if you would believe, you would see the shining-greatness of God?”

41 M arkaasay dhagaxii ka qaadeen. Ciisena indhihiisuu kor u taagay oo yidhi, Aabbow, waan kuugu mahadnaqayaa inaad i maqashay.

They took the stone away. Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank You for hearing Me.

42 W aana ogaa inaad mar kasta i maqasho, laakiin dadkan badan oo hareerahayga taagan aawadood ayaan taas u idhi inay rumaystaan inaad adigu i soo dirtay.

I know You always hear Me. But I have said this for the people standing here, so they may believe You have sent Me.”

43 M arkuu sidaas ku hadlay dabadeed wuxuu ku dhawaaqay cod weyn, Laasarosow, soo bax.

When He had said this, He called with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44 M arkaasaa kii dhintay soo baxay, isagoo gacmaha iyo cagaha ay kafan kaga xidhan tahay, wejigana maro kaga xidhan tahay. Kolkaasuu Ciise wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Fura oo daaya, ha socdee. Wadaaddadii Sare Shirqool Bay Ciise U Dhigeen

The man who had been dead came out. His hands and feet were tied in grave clothes. A white cloth was tied around his face. Jesus said to the people, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go!” The Proud Religious Law-Keepers Try to Think of a Way to Kill Jesus

45 S idaa aawadeed qaar badan oo Yuhuuddii ah oo Maryan u yimid oo arkay wuxuu sameeyey ayaa rumaystay.

Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus had done put their trust in Him.

46 Q aarkoodse way u tageen Farrisiintii, oo waxay u sheegeen wuxuu Ciise sameeyey.

Some of them went to the proud religious law-keepers and told them what Jesus had done.

47 S idaa aawadeed wadaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii shir bay isugu yimaadeen oo yidhaahdeen, Maxaynu samaynaa? Waayo, ninkanu calaamooyin badan buu sameeyeye.

The religious leaders of the Jews and the proud religious law-keepers gathered a court together. They said, “What will we do? This Man is doing many powerful works.

48 H addaynu sidaa u dayno, dhammaan way rumaysan doonaan isaga, oo dadka Roomana way iman doonaan, oo waxay qaadan doonaan meesheenna iyo quruunteenna.

If we let Him keep doing these things, all men will put their trust in Him. The Romans will come and take away the house of God and our nation.”

49 M idkood Kayafas la odhan jiray, oo wadaadka sare ahaa sannaddaas, wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxba garan maysaan,

Caiaphas was the head religious leader that year. He said to them, “You know nothing about this.

50 o o ka fiirsan maysaan inay idiin roon tahay in nin keli ahu dadka u dhinto oo aan quruunta oo dhammu lumin.

Do you not see it is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed?”

51 W axaas iskama odhan, laakiin isagoo ah wadaadka sare sannaddaas, wuxuu sii sheegay in Ciise quruunta u dhiman doono,

Caiaphas did not think of these words himself. He spoke what God had said would happen. He was telling before it happened that Jesus must die for the nation.

52 q uruuntii oo keliya uma aha, laakiin inuu mid keliya isugu soo ururiyo carruurtii Ilaah oo kala firidhsan.

He must die not only for the nation, but also to bring together into one group the children of God who were living in many places.

53 H addaba maalintaas wixii ka dambeeyey waxay ku tashadeen inay dilaan.

From that day on they talked together about how they might kill Jesus.

54 S idaa daraaddeed mar dambe Ciise bayaan uma dhex marin Yuhuudda, wuuse ka tegey meeshaas, ilaa meel u dhowayd cidlada, ilaa magaalo la yidhaahdo Efrayim, halkaasuuna xertii la joogay.

For this reason Jesus did not walk out in the open among the Jews. He went to a town called Ephraim. It was near a desert. He stayed there with His followers. The Proud Religious Law-Keepers Look for Jesus

55 H adda Iidda Yuhuudda ee Kormaridda la yidhaahdaa waa dhowayd, kuwa badanna waxay u kaceen Yeruusaalem iyagoo dalka ka yimid Iiddii Kormaridda horteed inay isdaahiriyaan.

The special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt was soon. Many people from around the country came up to Jerusalem to go through the religious washing before the special supper.

56 S idaa daraaddeed ayay Ciise doondooneen, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, iyagoo macbudka dhex taagan, Maxay idinla tahay? Ma inuusan iidda imanaynin baa?

They looked for Jesus. They stood together in the house of God and asked each other, “What do you think? Will He come to the special supper?”

57 W adaaddadii sare iyo Farrisiintii waxay amar ku bixiyeen, Hadduu qof ogaado meeshuu joogo waa inuu sheego, ha la qabtee.

The religious leaders of the Jews and the proud religious law-keepers had said that if any man knew where Jesus was, he should tell them. They wanted to take Him.
