4Yesu a tshi zwi pfa a ri, “Vhulwadze hovhu a si ha u isa lufuni; ndi ha u sumbedza vhugala ha Mudzimu, hu vhonale na ha Murwa wawe.”
5Zwino Yesu o vha a tshi funa Marita na murathu wawe na Lazaro. 6A ri u pfa uri Lazaro u a lwala a dovha a fhedza maṅwe maḓuvha mavhili e henefho he a vha e hone, 7a konou amba na vhafunziwa vhawe a ri, “Kha ri vhuelele Judia.”
8Vhone vha fhindula vha ri, “Vhafunzi, hufha Majuda vha kha ḓi tou bva u ṱoḓa u vha kanḓa nga matombo! Zwino vha khou ṱoḓa u vhuelela henengei hafhu?”
9Yesu a ri, “A thi ri ḓuvha nga masiari ḽi na awara dza 12? Muthu a tshimbilaho masiari ha khukhulwi, ngauri fhano shangoni hu vha hu na tshedza. 10Hone a tshimbilaho vhusiku u a khukhulwa ngauri ha na tshedza.” 11Yesu o no ralo a konou dovha a ri, “Lazaro khonani yashu o eḓela; ndi khou ya henengei uri ndi mu vuse.”
12Vhafunziwa vha tshi fhindula vha ri, “Muṋe washu, arali o eḓela zwi amba uri u ḓo ṱuwa a tshi vha khwiṋe.”
13Yesu a tshi ralo vhone vho vha vha tshi vhona unga u amba u eḓela khofhe, matsina Ene o vha a tshi khou amba uri Lazaro ha tsheeho. 14Ndi hone a tshi vho tou vha phulela a ri, “Lazaro o ri sia, 15hone ndi tshi humbula inwi ndi a takala nge zwa itea ndi siho, ngauri zwino ndi hone ni tshi ḓo kona u mpfulufhela. Nḓarieni khae.”
16Thomasi (ḽine ḽa amba uri Mawela) a amba na vhafunziwa ngae a ri, “Kha ri ṱuwe navho ri yo fa navho.”
Yesu ndi Ene u vuwa ha vhafu na vhutshilo
17Yesu a tshi sala a tshi swika a wana uri ho no ḓi fhela maḓuvha maṋa Lazaro o swiṱwa. 18Zwino Bethania a hu vhuyi ha swika khilomitha tharu u bva Jerusalema, 19ndi zwe ha vha ho ḓa Majuda manzhi ha Marita na Maria u imela lwonolwo lufu lwa khaladzi avho.
20Marita a tshi tou pfa uri Yesu u khou ḓa, a mbo ḓi bva a yo mu ṱanganedza; Maria ene a sala hayani. 21Marita a amba na Yesu a ri, “Muṋe wanga, ngavhe vho vha vhe fhano, ndi musi khaladzi anga a songo fa! 22Naho zwo no ḓi ralo ndi a ḓivha uri Mudzimu u ḓo vha ṋea tshine vha mu humbela.”
23Yesu a amba nae a ri, “Khaladzi aṋu u ḓo vuwa a dovha a tshila.”
24Ene a fhindula a ri, “Ndi a zwi ḓivha uri u ḓo vuwa vhafuni musi vhafu vha tshi vuwa nga ḓuvha ḽa vhufhelo.”
25Yesu a amba nae a ri, “U vuwa ha vhafu ndi Nṋe; vhutshilo ndi Nṋe. Ane a fulufhela Nṋe, naho a fa, u ḓo tshila; 26huno ane a tshila a tshi mpfulufhela ha nga fi. Mafhungo aya ni a a tenda naa?”
27Marita a ri, “Muṋe wanga, ndi a tenda uri ndi Vhone Mesia Murwa wa Mudzimu, we a pfi u ḓo ḓa shangoni.”
Yesu a tshi tsengisa miṱodzi
28Marita o no ralo a huma a yo sevha murathu wawe Maria a ri, “Vhafunzi vho swika, vha khou ni vhidza.” 29Maria a tshi pfa zwenezwo a bva nga u gidima a ya khae. 30(Yesu zwenezwo o vha a sa athu dzhena muḓini; o vha a tshi kha ḓi vha henefhaḽa he Marita a mu ṱanganedza.) 31Majuda vhe vha vha vhe na Maria nḓuni vha tshi khou mu khuthadza, vha tshi vhona a tshi bva nga u gidima, vha mu tevhela vha tshi ri u khou ya u lila tshaloni.
32Maria a swika fhaḽa hu na Yesu. A tshi tou mu vhona a mbo ḓi wela milenzheni yawe a ri, “Muṋe wanga, ngavhe vho vha vhe fhano, ndi musi khaladzi anga a songo fa!”
33Yesu a tshi vhona Maria na vhaḽa Majuda vhe vha ḓa nae vha tshi khou zhamba vha tshi lila, zwa mu vhaisa, zwa tou mu dina. 34A vha vhudzisa a ri, “No mu swiṱa ngafhi?”
Vhone vha ri, “Muṋe washu, kha vha ḓe vha hu vhone.”
35Yesu a tsengisa miṱodzi. 36Majuda vha tshi zwi vhona vha ri, “Edzonu vhona uri o vha a tshi mu funa hani!”
37Hone vhaṅwe vha ri, “Hufha o swingulusa bofu! Zwino u thivhela lufu lwa Lazaro zwo mu kunda ngani?”
U vuswa ha Lazaro vhafuni
38Yesu a tshi pfa vha tshi ralo zwa dovha zwa mu vhaisa, a mbo ḓi ya tshaloni. Tshalo itsho tsho vha tshi bako ḽi valwaho nga tombo, 39a vhudza vhathu a ri, “Kunguluselani iḽo tombo kule!”
Marita khaladzi a mufu a ri, “Muṋe wanga, u vho nukha, o no ḓi vha na maḓuvha maṋa o vhulungwa.”
40Yesu a mu vhudza a ri, “Nṋa a thi ri ndo ni vhudza nda ri arali ni tshi fulufhela ni ḓo vhona vhugala ha Mudzimu?” 41Vha mbo kungulusa ḽiḽa tombo. Yesu a lilala a ri, “Khotsi, ndi a u livhuha ngauri u khou mpfa. 42Ndi a zwi ḓivha uri u ḓi dzula u tshi mpfa, hone ndi tshi rali ndi itela havha vhathu uri vha tende uri ndi Iwe wo nthumaho.” 43A ri u ralo a konou vhidzelela a ri, “Lazaro, bvelani ngeno nnḓa!” 44Mufu a bva o pombiwa milenzhe na zwanḓa nga masila a mbulungo, khofheni o vhofhiwa nga luvhemba. Yesu a ri, “Mu vhofhololeni ni mu litshe a tshimbile.”

45Majuda vhanzhi vhe vha vha vho ḓa u khuthadza Maria vha tshi vhona zwe Yesu a ita vha mu fulufhela. 46Hone vhaṅwe vha humela ha Vhafarisei vha vha toololela zwe Yesu a ita. 47Ndi hone Vhafarisei na vhotshifhe vhahulwane vha tshi ramba Khoro ya Majuda vha ri, “Nṋa ri nga tou zwi ita hani? Edzonu vhona maḓembe ane munna uyu a khou ita! 48Zwino arali ra ḓi sokou mu litsha vhathu vhoṱhe vha ḓo ṱuwa vha tshi mu fulufhela, Vharoma vha vho ḓo ḓa vha thuthekanya thembele yashu vha lozwa na lushaka lwa hashu lwoṱhe!”
49Muṅwe wavho a no pfi Khayafasi we a vha e ene tshifhe muhulu wonoyo ṅwaha a ri, “Inwi a ni na tshine na ḓivha! 50A ni koni u vhona na zwine zwa nga ni farisa: ndi khwiṋe muthu muthihi a tshi fela lushaka u fhira hu tshi lovha lushaka lwoṱhe.” 51Huno a tshi ralo zwo vha zwi sa khou tou bva kha ene muṋe; o vha a tshi khou tou porofita, vhunga o vha e ene tshifhe muhulu wonoyo ṅwaha, hu u amba uri Yesu u ḓo fela lushaka lwoṱhe, 52nahone lu si lwa Majuda fhedzi; o vha a tshi ḓo fela na vhana vha Mudzimu vho balanganaho na shango uri a vha kuvhanganye, vha vhe tshithu tshithihi.
53U bva ḽeneḽo ḓuvha vhahulwane vha Majuda vha ḓi dzula nga u ita tshimbevha tsha u vhulaha Yesu. 54Ndi zwe Yesu a si tsha tshimbila khagala Judia, a vho tou ṱuwa na vhafunziwa vhawe a yo dzula tsini ha soga muḓini u no pfi Efraimi.
