1 Mntu yumwenga akwitangwa Lazalo, mkaya wa Besaniya endaga mnyonje. Besaniya wendaga mzi ekale Maliyamu na lumbudye Matha. 2 Maliyamu nani lumbudye dya Lazalo. Naho nuyo amkulugute Zumbe mavuta ya kupwepweleka mwe viga na kumhangusa ne zifili zakwe. Nani mlukolo ywawo Lazalo endaga mnyonje. 3 Ivyo awo walumbuze dya Lazalo wasigila ulosi kwa Yesu kugamba, "Zumbe, mbuyaye ukumunga ni mnyonje."

4 Yesu eze eve ivyo, agamba, "Unyonje uwo suwo wa file, mna ulaila chani Chohile atogolwe, kalumwa chani kwa sila iyo Mwana Mntu atogolwe."

5 Yesu nakamunga Matha, lumbudye Maliyamu, hamwenga na Lazalo. 6 Eze eve imbuli kugamba Lazalo ni mnyonje, Yesu ajendeleza kwikala hantu aho endaga kwa mazuwa maidi yongezekele. 7 Akaheza awagamba wanampina wakwe, "Chiteni vituhu Yudeya!"

8 Wanampina wamgamba, "Mhinyi, chipindi chijihi du chijinkile Wayahudi nawaunga wakukome kwa mayuwe, weye nawe waunga wite uko vituhu?"

9 Yesu ahitula, "Togola, saa za msi sizo mlongo na mbili? Mntu akajenda nomsi hakudaha kukowadika, kwaviya awona ulangazi we isi ino. 10 Mna mntu akajenda nechilo nakowadike, kwaviya ulangazi haumuli mndani mwakwe." 11 Yesu eze abinde kulonga milosi iyo, awagamba, "Mbuyangu Lazalo kagona, mna miye nanite hamwinule."

12 Wanampina wakwe wamgamba, "Zumbe, uneva kagona, nahone."

13 Yesu nakalonga kugamba Lazalo kabanika, mna wanampina wakwe nawakagamba nakalonga mwe kugona ntongo. 14 Yesu niyo awagambila pwipwipwi, "Lazalo kabanika. 15 Mna selelwa kwa chausa chenyu kugamba sendile uko, chani mzumile. Haluse chiteni kwakwe."

16 Tomaso, yudya akwitangwa pacha awagamba wanampina weyawe, "Chiteni naswi chikabanike hamwenga naye!"

17 Yesu eze abule uko, kabwila umwili wa Lazalo wikwa mwe mbila kwa mazuwa mane. 18 Ikaya ya Besaniya neihaguhi na Yelusalemu, uhale ukubula maili ntatu vino. 19 Wayahudi walozize nawabula kwa Matha na Maliyamu wawahongeze kwa kubanika mlukolo ywawo.

20 Matha eze eve kugamba Yesu eza, niyo aita akumsingila, mna Maliyamu kasigala kukaya. 21 Matha amgamba Yesu, "Zumbe, hegu wendile wihano, mlukolo ywangu habanike! 22 Mna simanya kugamba hata vino haluse chochose noumlombeze Chohile nakwinke."

23 Yesu amgamba, "Mlukolo ywako nauyuke."

24 Matha niyo amhitula, "Simanya," "kugamba nauyuke mwe zuwa dya udumo." 25 Yesu amgamba, "Miye nuyo uyuso na ujima. Akunizumila miye nekale, hata hegu kabanika, 26 naho chila akwikala na kunizumila habanike mazuwa yose, Togola wayazumila ayo?" 27 Matha amgamba, "Heye Zumbe!" Ahitula "Nazumila kugamba weye nuyo Kulisito, Mwana ywa Chohile, yudya akwiza mwe isi."

28 Matha eze alonge ayo, niyo aita akumwitanga lumbudye Maliyamu kwa chinyele, na kumgamba, "Mhinyi ehano," "naho akwitanga." 29 Maliyamu eze eve ivyo, niyo asunguza kwinuka ambasa Yesu. 30 Yesu nahanati kwingila mwe kaya, mna nachei ahadya hantu Matha ambwile. 31 Wayahudi nawemndani hamwenga na Maliyamu wakamhongeza, weze wamwone kenuka akumpukila kuse. Wamtimila wakagamba akwila kwe mbila.

32 Maliyamu eze abule hantu hadya Yesu endile, eze amwone, amgwela heviga. Amgamba, "Zumbe," "hegu wandile wihano, mlukolo ywangu habanike!"

33 Yesu eze amwone aila, naho eze awawone wadya Wayahudi wendile hamwenga naye nawo waila, niyo engilwa ni mbazi na chinyulu, niyo engilwa ni tumbwaziko mo moyo. 34 Niyo awauza. "Mumhamba hahi?"

Wamgamba. "Soo uwone, Zumbe,"

35 Yesu niyo aila. 36 Wayahudi wagamba. "Kaulani ivyo amungile!"

37 Mna wantu watuhu wagamba, "Togola yuno amfumbule ameso yudya tuntu, vino hakudaha Kumtenda Lazalo asekubanika?"

38 Ivyo Yesu engilwa ni tumbwaziko vituhu mo moyo, abula kwe mbila, mbila yenye neimwe bome naho naigubikwa na yuwe mwe nchili. 39 Yesu agamba. "Usani idiyuwe!"

Matha, lumbudye dya yudya abanike, amgamba, "Zumbe, akonga kulavya mpofa, kekala mwe mbila mazuwa mane!"

40 Yesu amgamba, "Togola sikugambile kugamba ukazumila nauwone ukulu wa Chohile?" 41 Niyo wadyusa diya idiyuwe. Yesu niyo asinya kulanga kwembingu na kugamba, "Nakutogola weye, Tate, kwaviya weye waniva. 42 Simanya kugamba waniva mazuwa yose, mna silonga ivyo kwaviya wantu wano we hano, chani wazumile kugamba weye ni weye unisigile." 43 Eze alonge ivyo, niyo etanga kwa izwi kulu, "Lazalo, fosa kuse!" 44 Niyo afosa kuse, kuno katalizwa sanda mwe viga na mwe mikono, naho uso wakwe ugubikwa na kasuche. Yesu awagamba, "Mfunguleni," "Mumlekeni aite."
