1Na amiire mukaaga gaawanga ni gakiari kugere omugomo ogwa *Pasaaka gutuuke, Yesu yairana ku omugizi ogwa Bethania aa Lazaaro yawanga na amenyere. Lazaaro ono nio owa Yesu yawanga na aziusie amutoola ku awafu. 2Yesu yaikaziwua okuria okwa igulo kandi Mariitha nio owawanga na a-aa awageni okuria, ni Lazaaro oona yawanga omulala ku awaarianga na awageni awaawanga ni Yesu ku emeesa.*

3Nikuemao Maaria yatoola *amavuta agawuya esaami aga naadi agakasuga enusu eya eliita kandi aga iguzi eria kungulu, agafuka ku amagulu aga Yesu nikwo atanika okugaeya ne emvwiri ziae omwene. Okuwunya okulootu okwa amavuta ago kwaizula enyumba eyo yoona.*

4Ni Yudaasi Iskarioti, omulala ku awalonzi waae owa lunyima yamuguzia, yawoola otino,* 5“Ekigera na amavuta ago gataguziiwue amasendi aga omusaara ogwa omuntu akaria ku omwaka omulala, kugere amasendi ago gagawirwe awataka niki?”* 6Yudaasi ngaakawoolanga otio mbwe ya-ambranga awataka amasaasra yaaya, ni yawoolanga otio aeniki yawanga omuwiiki owa amasendi kandi yaiwanga amasendi agaateewuanga mu amakono gaae mbwe awiike.

7Ni Yesu yamuirania otino, “Mureke okunyaasia omukazi ono. Mureke awake omuwiri gwange amavuta okuguikagia ku owuire owua owuawizi wuange.* 8Awataka awo mukiaza okuwa nawo amiire goona, ni inze ngamuuza okuwa ni inze amiire goona.”*

9Ni wino wiaikolanga, omurima ogwa awantu awangi waawurra amangʼana mbwe Yesu ari Bethania kandi waamuuzako. Ngawakaaza okuwona Yesu kwengʼene, ni waaza ino-ino okuwona Lazaaro owa Yesu yaziusia aema ku awafu. 10Kutio awakangasi awa *awoozia waatanika okuagala engira eya wakaitiramo Lazaaro yoona 11aeniki ku amangʼana aga okuziuka kwae okwo, *Awayaudi awangi waawa no okuganya ku Yesu.*

12Enkio walwo omurima ogwa awantu awangi awaawanga ni waazre mu omugomo Yerusaleemu waawurra mbwe Yesu ari ku engira agia Yerusaleemu. 13Kutio waavuna ensagia ezifwanana ne ezia omuti ogwa enaasi, wagia nazio okuagaanra Yesu ni waogerera watino,

16Awalonzi awa Yesu ngawakamanya ekia ekiaikola kino kialagananga. No olwa Yesu yaziusiwua aema ku awafu kandi aeewua owunene, awalonzi waae waagia wamanya mbwe yakorrwa ewintu ewia yajojwako kale mbwe arikorrwa.*

17Omurima ogwa awantu awaawanga ni Yesu olwa yaziusia Lazaaro okuema ku awafu waagia emberi okulanzia amangʼana aga okuziuka okwa Lazaaro. 18Awantu awangi awaawurra amangʼana aga amankono aga Yesu yakola gano waagia okumuagaanra. 19Kutio *Awafarisaayo waatanika okuwoola agati yaawu aweene watino, “Muwona, ifwe kiwulao ekia tukola. Ngamuwonako kiomo ekialo kiona kigaluuke kimulonda?”*

20Awandi ku awantu awaawanga ni wagiire okusawa Katonda Yerusaleemu, mu omugomo ogwa Pasaaka ogwo, waawanga Awagiriiki.† 21Awagiriiki awo waagia ku Piliipo, owawanga na aema Bethsaida mu ekialo ekia Galiili, wamusawa watino, “Omukangasi, tuagiilenga okuwona Yesu.”*

22Piliipo yagia alaga Andereeya amangʼana ago, nikwo waagia alala wairra Yesu amangʼana ago.

23Yesu yawairania na awalaga otino, “Amiire aga oku-aa *Omuzia owa Omuntu owunene gamiire okutuuka.* 24Kuwuene mbalaga mbwe ne emwo eya emere ekiari okugwa mu ilowa efwe, esigala-usigala endala otio. Ni ne efwire, efumia emwo enyingi okukira kiomo yawanga endala. 25Omuntu ogonziizie owulamu wuae omwene aaza okuwuteesia, no omuntu oregere owulamu wuae ku ekialo kino, iye ariwutuukra mu omulamu owutariwua.* 26Omuntu onkorra paka andonde, kandi asi-uasi aa ndi, awemirimo wange woona wariwaao. Soifu Katonda aaza oku-aa awankorra emirimo owunene.”*

27Yesu yagia emberi na awoola otino, “Nyingeeno omwoyo gwange guinyaasia kandi ngʼamanyire mbwe mboole mbwe, ‘Soifu nunule ku emidambo egiri emberi wange gino?’ Yaaya, kino nikio ekiandeeta okukola, kutio ngʼanyiza okuwoola ekintu.* 28Soifu Katonda, aa eriina riao owunene!”

Nikuemao, omwoyo gwaema ku igulu ogwawoola gutino, “Miire oku-aa eriina riange owunene kandi nkiaza okuri-aa owunene.”*

29Omurima ogwawanga ao gwawurra omwoyo ogwo kandi waawoola mbwe gwaduma. Na awandi waawoola mbwe *enyankoi nio owagamba-gamba ni Yesu.

30Yesu yawalaga otino, “Ni inywe omwoyo oguemere ku igulu guno guuzre okutunzia, ni ngʼani inze yaaya.* 31Zino nizio enyinga ezia Katonda aaza okukengera ekialo kino ekiina kandi ezia Katonda aaza okurumusia *Sataani omukangasi owa ekialo kino.* 32Ni, ni miire okugingiriziwua kungulu, nyiza okureeta awantu woona ku inze.” 33Yesu yawoola otio okulagana olumbe olwa yaazanga okufwa.

34Omurima ogwa awantu ogwo gwamuirania gutino, “Kane ngatwamiire okuwurra ni kuema ku *ensikirra ezia Katonda mbwe *Kristo ariwaao omulamu amiire goona? Kandi katio iwue oreeta otie okuwoola mbwe, ‘Omuzia owa Omuntu paka agingiriziwue kungulu?’ Kusi ‘Omuzia owa Omuntu’ oyo naanu?”**

35Nikuemao Yesu yawalaga otino, “Muuza okuwa no owueru mala ku amiire amatono. Mugende-gende no owueru wukiario, ekierema ni kikiari okuamba ekialo kiwasanikire. Omuntu ogenda-genda mu ekierema ngamanyire aa agia. 36Mute okuganya kwinyu ku owueru, ni mukiari nawuo. Okwo kuuza okugera muwe awazia awa owueru.” Ni Yesu yamala okuwoola amangʼana gano goona, yawaiwisako afuma awareka ao agia.**

37Kukawa mbwe Yesu yawanga na amiire okukola amankono amangi ino emberi waawu, ni ngawakawa no okuganya ku iye.* 38Kuno kwaikola kugere amangʼana aga Isaaya *omugambi owa Katonda yawoola gatuuke kuwuene, olwa yawoola mbwe:

39Kutio ngawakaesanga okuwa no okuganya ku Yesu, mala kiomo Isaaya yawoola a-andi mbwe, 40“Katonda amiire okuziwa amiiso gaawu, kandi amiire okugera emioyo giawu giwa emikalu ngʼa. Wusa-wusa, amiiso gaawu gaaza gawona kandi emioyo giawu giiza giaingizia amangʼana, mala wakagaluuke wagie ku Katonda awalamie.”†* 41Isaaya yagamba-gambanga otio aeniki yawona owunene owua Yesu yaazanga okuwa nawuo.* 42Kukawa kutio, awantu awangi ino, kugia awandi ku awakangasi awa Awayaudi, waamuganyako. Ni ku okutia okwa waatia Awafarisaayo, ngawakawoolanga owuyanga mbwe woona waawanga no okuganya ku Omwami Yesu. Waatia mbwe wakarumusiiwue mu *esinagoogi.* 43Kuno kulagana mbwe waagonzia okutondowolwa na awantu okukira okutondowolwa ni Katonda.*

44Nikuemao kandi, Yesu yawoola no omwoyo ogwa kungulu otino, “Omuntu oweere no okuganya ku inze, omuntu oyo ngaganyire mala ku inze nyengʼene, na aganyire kugia ku Katonda owantuma. 45Kandi na ambarra, awona Katonda owantuma.* 46Nyizre ku ekialo kuno ki owueru, kugere omuntu-umuntu onganyireko atawa mu ekierema.* 47Owurra amangʼana gange, ni yareka okugarinda, inze ngʼamukengera ekiina. Ni kutio aeniki ngʼanyakaaza ku ekialo okukengera awantu awari ku ekialo ekiina, ni nyaaza okuwanunula.* 48Omukengi owa ekiina, ooza okukengera awantu awandowa kandi awataganya amangʼana gange, no owundi. Amangʼana aga miire okuwoola nigo agarikengra awantu awo ekiina ekia awooni, owuire owua owutuuko. 49Nintio aeniki ngʼanyakawalaga amangʼana gange omwene yaaya. Soifu Katonda awantuma nio owansikirra amangʼana aga nsugaane mboole, ni kiomo nsugaane ngawoole.* 50Manyire ewintu ewia asikiriire ewiiza okuira awantu mu owulamu owutariwua. Kutio wiona ewia mboola wiri ewia Soifu Katonda yandaga mbwe nyize mboole.”*
