1Kwakukhona ogulayo othile, uLazaru waseBethaniya, umuzi wakubo kaMariya nodadewabo uMarta.
2(Kwakunguye uMariya owagcoba iNkosi ngamafutha, wesula izinyawo zayo ngezinwele zakhe, omnewabo uLazaru wayegula.)
3Ngakho odadewabo bathumela kuye, besithi: Nkosi, khangela, omthandayo uyagula.
4UJesu esekuzwile wathi: Lokhu kugula akusikho okokufa, kodwa kungokwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, ukuze iNdodana kaNkulunkulu ikhazinyuliswe ngakho.
5Kepha uJesu wayebathanda oMarta nodadewabo noLazaru.
6Khona esezwile ukuthi uyagula, wahlala izinsuku ezimbili kuleyo ndawo ayekuyo.
7Khona emva kwalokho wathi kubafundi bakhe: “Asibuye siye eJudiya.
8Abafundi bakhe bathi kuye: Rabi, abaJuda sebefuna ukukukhanda ngamatshe; futhi uya khona futhi?
9UJesu waphendula wathi: Kawakho yini amahola alitshumi lambili emini? Uma umuntu ehamba emini, akakhubeki, ngokuba ubona ukukhanya kwaleli zwe.
10Kepha uma umuntu ehamba ebusuku, uyakhubeka, ngokuba akukho ukukhanya kuye.
11Washo lokho, emva kwalokho wathi kubo: “Umngane wethu uLazaru ulele; kodwa ngiyahamba ukuze ngimvuse ebuthongweni.
12Base bethi abafundi bakhe: Nkosi, uma elele, uyakusinda.
13Kepha uJesu wayekhuluma ngokufa kwakhe, kepha bona babethi ukhuluma ngokuphumula ebuthongweni.
14Khona uJesu wathi kubo ngokuchachileyo: “ULazaru ufile;
15Ngiyathokoza ngenxa yenu ukuthi bengingekho, ukuze nikholwe; nokho asiye kuye.
16Khona uTomase, othiwa uDidimu, kubafundi abakanye naye: Asihambe nathi, ukuze sife kanye naye.
17Khona esefikile uJesu, wamfumana esenezinsuku ezine elele ethuneni.
18IBethaniya laliseduze neJerusalema, kungaba amastadiyu ayishumi nanhlanu.
19Kwafika abaningi kumaJuda kuMarta noMariya ukuze babaduduze ngomnewabo.
20Khona uMarta esezwile ukuthi uJesu uyeza, wamhlangabeza; kepha uMariya wahlala endlini.
21UMarta wayesethi kuJesu: “Nkosi, uma ubukhona, umnewethu nga engafanga.
22Kodwa ngiyazi lakhathesi ukuthi loba yini ongayicela kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uzakunika.
23UJesu wathi kuye: “Umfowenu uzakuvuka futhi.
24UMarta wathi kuye: Ngiyazi ukuthi uyakuvuka ekuvukeni ngosuku lokugcina.
25UJesu wathi kuye: Mina ngingukuvuka nokuphila; okholwa yimi, noma efile, wophila.
26Nalowo ophilayo ekholwa yimi kasoze afa naphakade. Uyakukholwa lokhu na?
27Wathi kuye: Yebo, Nkosi, ngiyakholwa ukuthi wena unguKristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu obezakuza emhlabeni.
28Eseshilo lokho wamuka, wabiza udadewabo uMariya ngasese, wathi: “UMfundisi ufikile, uyakubiza.
29Wathi ekuzwa lokho wasuka masinyane, weza kuye.
30Kepha uJesu wayengakafiki emzini, kodwa wayesekuleyo ndawo uMarta amhlangabeza kuyo.
31AmaJuda ayenaye endlini emduduza, ebona uMariya esukuma masinyane waphuma, amlandela, ethi: “Uya ethuneni ukuyokhala khona.
32Kwathi uMariya efika lapho uJesu ekhona, embona, wawa phansi ezinyaweni zakhe, wathi kuye: “Nkosi, uma ubukhona, umnewethu nga engafanga.
33Kwathi uJesu embona ekhala, nabaJuda ababeze naye bekhala, wabubula emoyeni, wakhathazeka;
34Wathi: “Nimbeke ngaphi na? Basebesithi kuye: Nkosi, woza ubone.
35UJesu wakhala izinyembezi.
36Ngakho amaJuda athi: Khangelani ukuthi wayemthanda kangakanani!
37Abanye kubo bathi: “Lo owavula amehlo empumputhe ubengekwenze yini ukuba nalo angafi na?
38Ngakho uJesu ebubula futhi phakathi kwakhe wafika ethuneni. lalingumhume, kubekwe itshe phezu kwawo.
39UJesu wathi: Susani itshe. UMarta, udadewabo wofileyo, wathi kuye: “Nkosi, usenuka, ngokuba usenezinsuku ezine efile.
40UJesu wathi kuye: “Angishongo yini kuwe ukuthi, uma ukholwa, uzakubona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu na?
41Balisusa-ke itshe endaweni lapho ofile ayebekwe khona. UJesu waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wathi: “Baba, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ungizwile.
42Mina bengisazi ukuthi uyangizwa njalo, kodwa ngenxa yexuku elibemi khona ngitshilo, ukuze bakholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile.
43Esetshilo lokho wamemeza ngelizwi elikhulu wathi: Lazaru, phuma.
44Waphuma ofileyo eboshwe izinyawo nezandla ngezindwangu, nobuso bakhe buboshwe ngeduku. UJesu wathi kubo: Mthukululeni, limyeke ahambe.
45Ngakho abaningi kubaJuda ababeze kuMariya bebona akwenzileyo uJesu bakholwa nguye.
46Kepha abanye kubo basuka baya kubaFarisi, babatshela lokho akwenzile uJesu.
47Khona abapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi base bebutha umphakathi, bathi: “Senzenjani na? ngoba lomuntu wenza izibonakaliso ezinengi.
48Uma simyeka kanjalo, bonke bayakukholwa nguye; futhi amaRoma ayakuza, athathe kokubili indawo yethu nesizwe.
49Omunye wabo, uKayafase igama lakhe, engumpristi omkhulu ngalowo mnyaka, wathi kubo: Anazi lutho nina.
50futhi futhi ningacabangi ukuthi kusilungele, ukuthi umuntu oyedwa afele abantu, ukuze isizwe sonke singabhubhi.
51Akakhulumanga lokho ngokwakhe, kepha engumpristi omkhulu walowo mnyaka, waprofetha ukuthi uJesu uzakusifela leso sizwe;
52futhi kungabi ngenxa yaleso sizwe sodwa, kodwa futhi ukuba abuthele ndawonye abantwana bakaNkulunkulu abahlakazekile babe munye.
53Khona kusukela ngalolo suku benza icebo lokuba bambulale.
54Ngakho uJesu akabange esahamba obala phakathi kwabaJuda; kepha wamuka lapho, waya ezweni eliseduze nehlane emzini othiwa i-Efrayimi, wahlala khona nabafundi bakhe.
55Lase liseduze iPhasika labaJuda; abaningi abavela emaphandleni bakhuphukela eJerusalema ngaphambi kwePhasika ukuba bazihlambulule.
56Khona bamfuna uJesu, bekhuluma bemi ethempelini, bethi: “Nithini na?
57Kepha abapristi abakhulu nabaFarisi babekhiphe umyalo wokuthi, uma ekhona owaziyo lapho ekhona, ababikele, ukuze bambambe.
