1 Munhu imwe yokemigwa Lazalo, yakalile yokala Betania, kakala yolumwa. Betania kikala kiwambo chawakalile wokala Mata na lumbu jake Maliamu. 2 Maliamu ino iyo yamwitile mavuta ga kunung'hila Mndewa mmagulu na kumuhangusa na mvili zake. Lazalo yakalile yolumwa kakala lumbu jake. 3 Walumbu wano wamgalila usenga Mndewa, wolonga, “Mndewa, mbwigaako yuumnogele kolumwa.” 4 Yesu viyahulike, kalonga, “Kimambukizo cha malawililo ga utamu uno hakigala ifa ya Lazalo, ila ulawila giladi Mulungu yayenzigwe. Na mkilamso kino, Mwana wa Mulungu koyenzigwa.”

5 Yesu kakala yamnogele Mata na lumbu jake na Lazalo. 6 Viyahulike kamba Lazalo kolumwa, kakala bahaja hayakalile mazua mabili. 7 Abaho, kawalongela wanahina zake, “Tubweleganye Yudea.” 8 Wanahina zake wamulongela, “Mkulufunzi, kipigiti kiguhi kibitile Wayahudi wa kuja walonda kukutoa na mabwe, abaho, konda kubweleganya kukuja?”

9 Yesu kalonga, “Zua hadili na masaa longo dimwe na mabili? Avo munhu yoyose yotembela imisi hadaha kuikwala, kwavija kowona mulangaza wa ulumwengu. 10 Ila yahatembela ikilo kokiikwala, kwavija kabule mulangaza.” 11 Viyamambukize kulonga gano, kawalongela, “Mbwiga wetu Lazalo kawasa, ila nochola nikamulamuse.”

12 Wanahina zake wamulongela, “Mndewa, kamba kawasa, basi kohona.”

13 Yesu kakala yalongile ifa ya Lazalo, ila wanahina zake wagiza kawasa utulo wa mazua gose. 14 Avo Yesu kawalongela bila kufisa, “Lazalo kadanganhika, 15 ila sama yenu mweye, nie ninogelwa ng'hani kwavija sikalile kuja, giladi mtogole. Tucholeni kumwake.”

16 Tomaso, yokemigwa Ubasa, kawalongela wanahina wayage, “Tucholeni hamoja na Mkulufunzi, avo yahakomigwa tukomigwe tose!”

17 Yesu viyavikile, kavika Lazalo yazikigwe mazua mane gabitile. 18 Betania kikala kiwambo kikalile behi na Yelusalemu, kamba mwanza wa kilometa ndatu, 19 na Wayahudi bwando weza kumulola Mata na Maliamu kuwahani avija lumbu jao viyadanganhike.

20 Mata viyahulike kamba Yesu kokwiza, kalawa hanze yam'bokele, ila Maliamu kasigala mng'anda. 21 Mata kamulongela Yesu, “Mndewa, kamba uhakalile baha, lumbu jangu sambiyadanganhike. 22 Ila nivitanga kamba hata lelo Mulungu kokugwelela chochose chondaumpule.”

23 Yesu kamulongela, “Lumbu jako kozuka.”

24 Kamwidika, kalonga, “Nivitanga kamba kozuka mdizua da ikimambukizo.”

25 Yesu kamulongela, “Nie iyo mzuso na ugima. Awo wonitogola, hata kamba wahadanganhika, wowa wagima kabili. 26 Na awo wose wali na ugima na kunitogola nie hawadanganhika. Kozitogola mbuli zino?”

27 Kamulongela, “Ona, Mndewa, notogola kamba gweye iyo Kilisto, Mwana wa Mulungu, ayo yokwiza muulumwengu.”

28 Mata viyeshile kulonga gano, kabweleganya mng'anda kachola kumkema lumbu jake Maliamu, kamnyong'onyela, “Mkulufunzi kabaha avo kokulonda.” 29 Maliamu viyahulike gano, kenuka hima kalawa hanze kachola ha Yesu. 30 Yesu kakala hanavika hakiwambo, ila kakala haja hawaiting'hane na Mata. 31 Wayahudi wakalile na Maliamu mng'anda womuhembekeza, viwamonile yogundumuka yolawa hanze, wamkweleleza. Wagiza kakala yochola kudipanga kulila.

32 Maliamu viyavikile haja hayakalile Yesu, viyamonile, kagwa ha magulu gake, kalonga, “Mndewa, kamba uhakalile baha, lumbu jangu sambiyadanganhike!”

33 Yesu kamulola viyakalile yolila, abaho, kawalola waja wanhu wakalile na heyo vivija viwakalile wolila, kagaya ng'hani mmoyo na kona chuhila ng'hani. 34 Kawauza, “Mumzikila kwahi?”

Wamulongela, “Izo ulole, Mndewa.”

35 Yesu kalila. 36 Wayahudi walonga, “Loleni viyamnogele!”

37 Ila wanhu wayagwe walonga, “Ayo yamtendile munhu kimbugumbugu yalole, hadahile kumtenda Lazalo sambiyadanganhike?”

38 Yesu kona chuhila ng'hani mwanza wa ikabili, kachola kudipanga. Dikala kamba mhango, na dibwe kulu dikigwa hamulomo. 39 Yesu kalonga, “Segezeni didibwe!”

Mata, lumbu ja ija imunhu yadanganhike, kamulongela, “Mndewa, kuna bundo, kwavija kazikigwa mazua mane gabitile!”

40 Yesu kamulongela, “Sikulongele kamba uhatogola, koyona yenzi ya Mulungu?” 41 Wadisegeza didibwe. Yesu kalola uchana, kalonga, “Nokuheweza, Tata, kwavija konhegeleza nie. 42 Nivitanga kamba mazua gose konhegeleza, ila nolonga gano sama ya wanhu wali hano, giladi kwiza watogole kamba gweye iyo unhumile.” 43 Viyeshile kulonga gano, kenula dizwi yolonga, “Lazalo, lawa hanze!” 44 Ija imunhu yakalile yadanganhike kalawa hanze, kuno makono gake na magulu gake gazingilizwe na sanda, na kihanga chake kizingilizwa kitambala. Yesu kawalongela, “Mfunguleni, mmuleke yachole na zake.”
