1 Ntu mmoka eehaniya Lazaro, nnenchi o Bethaniya, aari nreta. Ubethaniya waari ittoko yaakhalha aya Amariamu ni arokoraya Namatha. 2 Amariamu phi alhe yaahikilhe makhura o unukhelha Athithi mmietoni ni waapoholha ni ikharari chaya. Lazaro, mwanhima aya yayo phi ari nreta. 3 Paahi yayo manyarokorawe ayo nkayaarweha nttenga wa Yesu, “Thithi, ampwana inyu nnaattuna inyu areta.”

4 Yesu eeweke chiicho, nkeera, “Yoyo ureta uyo khunommwiiha nookhwa, nansho wo nlhatu no unthimicha Nlhuku. Anowereiya ikhalhe phi iphiro yo uthimichiya Mwaana a Nlhuku.”

5 Yesu ahaattuna Namatha, Amariamu arokoraya ni Nalazaro. 6 Veewilhe awe nttenga wiira Nalazaro areta, nkaalhokelha vavawo vaari awe vawo wo mahuku melhi tho. 7 Yamalheke nkeerelha owiittucha awe, “Nirweeke nihokolhieke tho Uyudea!”

8 Owiittucha nkayaamwaakhulha, “Owiittuchiha, mahuku vakani tu ahovira toka Ayahudi vaathanana aya uwaatani malhuku ni uwiivani, ni inyu nnothanana urwaa wowo tho?”

9 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Isaa cho uthana khachirii khumi ni pilhi? Paahi etu, ntu neeta uthana khanokwakwathuwa, ukhalhawaya nomwalheelhiya ni nthuko wo ilhapo. 10 Nansho ntu eetaka uhiyu nookwakwathuwa, ukhalhawaya khuuwo nthuko velhaponi.” 11 Yesu nkoolhumacha yayo malhove ayo, ni umalhiha eeraka, “Ampwana ihu Nalazaro ahorupa, nansho Miyaano kinokelha waawusha.” 12 Owiittucha awe nkayaamwiirelha, “Thithi, akhalhaka ahowiiraka urupa, paahi anolhama.” 13 Owiittucha yaanyihera wiira ahowiiraka urupa nkhoveni, nansho Yesu aari ahimiaka wiira Nalazaro ahokhwa. 14 Yesu nkaahimeria wo uhavitha, “Nalazaro ahokhwa, 15 nansho kinootelhiya wo nlhatu ninyu wiira khakaariwo wowo, wiira nrumelhelhe. Paahi etu nngwee nirweeke uwannyaya uwo.”

16 Natomaso (eehaniya Nivata) nkayeerelha owiittucha ashikhunanaya wiira, “Nirweeke etu ni hii vamoka ni Owiittuchiha ihu, yakhalhaka ukhwa naakhwaneke vamoka!”

17 Yesu vaaphiilhe awe wowo, nkaaphwanya Nalazaro anamanlhe uvithiya nnihiyeni mahuku macheshe avinre. 18 Ittoko yo Ubethaniya khayaari utayi ni Uyerusalemu, nkwaha wo umalhaka imaili taaru, 19 ni Ayahudi enchi yaari anawiilhe u Namatha ni Amariamu uunyikalhachani nookhwa a nhima aya.

20 Namatha veewilhe aya wiira Yesu aari awaaka, nkayaarwa uumwikamelhani, nansho Amariamu ahalhaka nnupani. 21 Namatha nkayaamwiirelha Yesu, “Thithi, mwakaari vaa, nhima aka kaakhwa! 22 Nansho kihochuwelha wiira hata vano iriyoothe inottuna inyu unlhepelha Nlhuku, nouvahani.”

23 Yesu nkeera, “Mwanhima inyu noohihimmwa.”

24 Namatha nkayaakhulha, “Kihochuwelha wiira anoohihimmwa nihuku no uhihimushiya attu, nihuku no umalhelha.”

25 Yesu nkeerelha, “Miyaano phi nihihimusho ni ukumi. Anokirumelhelha mii anokhalha akumi, anakhwaaka, 26 ni kila ntu ri nkumi nokirumelhelha, khanokhwa ngu nnokhalha nkumi mahuku o uhimalha. Chani, nnoorumelhelha yayo?”

27 Namatha nkayaakhulha, “Eiyo Thithi! Miyaano kinoorumelhelha wiira inyuva phi Kuristo, Mwaana a Nlhuku, nowa velhaponi.”

28 Namatha yamalheke wulhumacha yayo, nkayaarwaa weehanani Amariamu, arokoraya, untemerani, nkayeera, “Owiittuchiha ahowa vaa, anowihanani.” 29 Ni ayo yeeweke chiicho, nkayonkwa phiyaru, nkayaamwiikamelha Yesu. 30 Yesu aari hinaphiya vawani, nansho aari bado wowulhe Namatha waamwiikamenlhe aya. 31 Paahi etu Ayahudi yaakhanlhe mpaani yaavahaka nrima Amariamu, voonne aya yunkwaka ni ukhuma vathe wo uhipicha, nkayaattwara. Yaanyihera wiira anokelha unihiyeni uwunlhani.

32 Paahi Amariamu vaaphilhe aya vaari awe Yesu ni umwoona, ahokhoroma, nkayeera, “Thithi, thoko mwakaari vaa, nhima aka kaakhwa!” 33 Yesu ooneke Amariamu yunlhaka, ni Ayahudi yaawilhe vamoka ni ayo yunlhaka, nkaakelhiya ikiriri ni ihuzuni munrimani. 34 Yamalheke nkaakoha, “Mwaavinthe vayi?”

Nkayaamwakhulha, “Thithi mmweeke mwoona.”

35 Yesu nkaamoriha miithori. 36 Paahi Ayahudi nkayeera, “Mwooneke chinre awe wo unttuna!”

37 Nansho attu akina aya nkayeera, “Ahaattukulha miitho attu ohoona, ngati? Chani khoonrie waachiichiha Nalazaro ahikhwe?”

38 Yesu aari onlhaka munrimani, nkaarwa unihiyeni, nihiye naari iphaa, ninakhuneelhiye nlhuku nulhupalhe vanlhakoni. 39 Yesu nkeera, “Nithamihiye nlhuku nno!”

Namatha, akhwelhiye ni mwanrokoraya Lazaro ayo, nkayeera, “Thithi, vanoonukha. Mahuku macheshe vano toka vavithiye aya!”

40 Yesu nkeerelha, “Chani, khakoohimenrieni wiira mwarumelhelhaka nnowoona nthimicho wa Nlhuku?” 41 Nkayaathamiha nlhuku nne. Yesu nkaaweha nchulhu wiirimu, nkeera, “Kihopochera Thithi, ukhalhawaya inyuva nnookiwelhelha. 42 Kihochuwelha wiira nnookiiwelhelha mahuku onkhaye, nansho kinoolhumacha yayo wo nlhatu na alha attu arii vaa alha, wiira arumelhelhe, wiira inyuva phi kirumme.” 43 Yesu amalhiheke wulhumacha yayo, nkeehana wo nlhove nulhupalhe eeraka, “Nalazaro! Nkhume vathe!” 44 Nalazaro nkayaakhuma vathe, uno anattukiye isaanda mmietoni ni mmiononi, wiitho unakhuneelhiye. Yesu nkeera, “Mwaathaphulheke, mwaahiyeke arweeke.”
