12:1
Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς πρὸ ἓξ ἡμερῶν τοῦ πάσχα ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν, ὅπου ἦν Λάζαρος, ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν Ἰησοῦς.
Jesus ergo ante sex dies Paschae venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Jesus.
ወእምዝ ሖረ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ እምቅድመ ሰዱስ መዋዕል ዘፋሲካ ወበጽሐ ቢታንያ ኀበ ሀሎ አልዓዛር ዘአንሥኦ እምነ ምዉታን።
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
12:2
ἐποίησαν οὖν αὐτῷ δεῖπνον ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἡ Μάρθα διηκόνει, ὁ δὲ Λάζαρος εἷς ἦν ἐκ τῶν ἀνακειμένων σὺν αὐτῷ.
Fecerunt autem ei coenam ibi, et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
ወገብሩ ሎቱ ምሳሐ በህየ ወማርታ ትሜጥዎሙ ወአልዓዛር አሐዱ ውእቱ እምእለ ይረፍቁ ምስሌሁ።
So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
12:3
ἡ οὖν Μαρία λαβοῦσα λίτραν μύρου νάρδου πιστικῆς πολυτίμου ἤλειψεν τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἐξέμαξεν ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ· ἡ δὲ οἰκία ἐπληρώθη ἐκ τῆς ὀσμῆς τοῦ μύρου.
Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici pretiosi, et unxit pedes Jesu, et extersit pedes ejus capillis suis : et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti.
ወማርያሰ ነሥአት ዕፍረተ ልጥረ ዘናርዱ ጵስጥቂስ ዘዕፁብ ሤጡ ወቀብዐቶ እገሪሁ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወመዝመዘቶ በሥዕርታ ወመልአ ቤተ መዐዛሁ ለውእቱ ዕፍረት።
Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
12:4
λέγει δὲ Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης, εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ὁ μέλλων αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι,
Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis ejus, Judas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus :
ወይቤ ይሁዳ ስምዖን አስቆሮታዊ አሐዱ እምአርዳኢሁ ዘሀለዎ ያግብኦ።
Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
12:5
διατί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς;
Quare hoc unguentum non veniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis ?
ለምንት ኢሤጥዎ ለዝንቱ ዕፍረት ለሠለስቱ ምእት ዲናር ይትወሀብ ለነዳያን።
“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
12:6
εἶπεν δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἔμελεν αὐτῷ ἀλλ’ ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἔχων τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν.
Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea quae mittebantur, portabat.
ወዘንተ ዘይቤ አኮ ዘያጽሕቅዎ ነዳያን አላ እስመ ሰራቂ ውእቱ ወየዐቅብ አስከሬነ። ወይነሥእ እምዘይትወደይ ውስቴቱ።
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
12:7
εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄφες αὐτήν, ἵνα εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνταφιασμοῦ μου τηρήσῃ αὐτό·
Dixit ergo Jesus : Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturae meae servet illud.
ወይቤሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ኅድጋ እስመ ተዐቅቦ ለዕለተ ቀበርየ።
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
12:8
τοὺς πτωχοὺς γὰρ πάντοτε ἔχετε μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.
Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum : me autem non semper habetis.
ወነዳያንሰ በኵሉ ጊዜ ሀለዉ ምስሌክሙ ወዘልፈ ትረክብዎሙ ወጊዜ ፈቀድክሙ ታሤንዩ ሎሙ ወኪያየሰ አኮ በኵሉ ጊዜ ዘትረክቡኒ።
For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
12:9
Ἔγνω οὖν ὁ ὄχλος πολὺς ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐστιν, καὶ ἦλθον οὐ διὰ τὸν Ἰησοῦν μόνον, ἀλλ’ ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἴδωσιν, ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Judaeis quia illic est, et venerunt, non propter Jesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
ወብዙኃን እምነ አይሁድ እለ አእመሩ ከመ ሀሎ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ህየ ወሖሩ ኀቤሁ ወአኮ በእንተ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ባሕቲቱ ዘሖሩ ዳእሙ ከመ ይርአይዎ ለአልዓዛርሂ ዘአንሥኦ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ እምዉታን።
A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
12:10
ἐβουλεύσαντο δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἀποκτείνωσιν,
Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent :
ወተማከሩ ሊቃነ ካህናት ከመ ይቅትልዎ ለአልዓዛር።
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
12:11
ὅτι πολλοὶ δι’ αὐτὸν ὑπῆγον τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ ἐπίστευον εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
quia multi propter illum abibant ex Judaeis, et credebant in Jesum.
እስመ ብዙኃን እምውስተ አይሁድ የሐውሩ በእንቲኣሁ ወየአምኑ በእግዚእ ኢየሱስ።
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12:12
Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὄχλος πολὺς ὁ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἔρχεται Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα,
In crastinum autem, turba multa quae venerat ad diem festum, cum audissent quia venit Jesus Jerosolymam,
ወበሳኒታ ሰብእ ብዙኃን እለ መጽኡ ለበዓል ሶበ ሰምዑ ከመ ይመጽእ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ኢየሩሳሌም።
On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12:13
ἔλαβον τὰ βαΐα τῶν φοινίκων καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐκραύγαζον· ὡσαννά· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
acceperunt ramos palmarum, et processerunt obviam ei, et clamabant : Hosanna, benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini, rex Israël.
ነሥኡ ጸበርተ ተመርት ዘበቀልት ወተቀበልዎ ወፂኦሙ እንዘ ይጸርሑ ወይቤሉ ሆሣዕና ቡሩክ ዘይመጽእ በስመ እግዚአብሔር ወንጉሦሙ ለእስራኤል።
they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
12:14
εὑρὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὀνάριον ἐκάθισεν ἐπ’ αὐτό, καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον·
Et invenit Jesus asellum, et sedit super eum, sicut scriptum est :
ወረከበ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ዕዋለ አድግ ወተጽዕነ ዲቤሃ።
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
12:15
μὴ φοβοῦ, θυγάτηρ Σιών· ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεται, καθήμενος ἐπὶ πῶλον ὄνου.
Noli timere, filia Sion : ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinae.
በከመ ጽሑፍ «ኢትፍርሂ ወለተ ጽዮን ነዋ ንጉሥኪ ይመጽእ እንዘ ይጼዐን ዲበ ዕዋለ አድግ።»
“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
12:16
ταῦτα οὐκ ἔγνωσαν αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ τὸ πρῶτον, ἀλλ’ ὅτε ἐδοξάσθη Ἰησοῦς τότε ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ταῦτα ἦν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ γεγραμμένα καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ.
Haec non cognoverunt discipuli ejus primum : sed quando glorificatus est Jesus, tunc recordati sunt quia haec erant scripta de eo, et haec fecerunt ei.
ወቀዲሙሰ ኢያእመሩ አርዳኢሁ ዘንተ ነገረ ዘእንበለ አመ ተሰብሐ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ አሜሃ ተዘከሩ ከመ ጽሑፍ ዝንቱ በእንቲኣሁ ወከመዝ ገብሩ ሎቱ።
His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
12:17
ἐμαρτύρει οὖν ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ὢν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὸν Λάζαρον ἐφώνησεν ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quae erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
ወሰማዕተ ኮንዎ እሙንቱ ሕዝብ እለ ሀለዉ ህየ ምስሌሁ ከመ ጸውዖ ለአልዓዛር እመቃብር ወአንሥኦ እምነ ምዉታን።
The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
12:18
διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος, ὅτι ἤκουσαν τοῦτο αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι τὸ σημεῖον.
Propterea et obviam venit ei turba : quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ወፅኡ ኵሉ ሕዝብ ይትቀበልዎ እስመ ሰምዑ ተኣምረ ዘገብረ ወዘንተሂ መንክረ።
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
12:19
οἱ οὖν Φαρισαῖοι εἶπαν πρὸς ἑαυτούς· θεωρεῖτε ὅτι οὐκ ὠφελεῖτε οὐδέν· ἴδε ὁ κόσμος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν.
Pharisaei ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos : Videtis quia nihil proficimus ? ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
ወይቤሉ ፈሪሳውያን በበይናቲሆሙ ትሬእዩኑ ከመ አልቦ ዘትበቍዑ ወኢምንተኒ ናሁ ኵሉ ዓለም ተለዎ ድኅሬሁ።
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
12:20
Ἦσαν δὲ Ἕλληνές τινες ἐκ τῶν ἀναβαινόντων ἵνα προσκυνήσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ·
Erant autem quidam gentiles, ex his qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
ወቦ እምሰብአ ጽርእ እምውስተ አረሚ እለ ዐርጉ ይስግዱ ለበዓል።
Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
12:21
οὗτοι οὖν προσῆλθον Φιλίππῳ τῷ ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες· κύριε, θέλομεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἰδεῖν.
Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilaeae, et rogabant eum, dicentes : Domine, volumus Jesum videre.
ወሖሩ እሙንቱሂ ኀበ ፊልጶስ ዘቤተ ሳይዳ ዘገሊላ ወሰአልዎ ወይቤልዎ እግዚኦ ንፈቅድ ንርአዮ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ።
Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
12:22
ἔρχεται Φίλιππος καὶ λέγει τῷ Ἀνδρέᾳ, ἔρχεται Ἀνδρέας καὶ Φίλιππος καὶ λέγουσιν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.
Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreae ; Andreas rursum et Philippus dixerunt Jesu.
ወሖረ ፊልጶስ ወነገሮ ለእንድርያስ ወሖሩ እንድርያስ ወፊልጶስ ወነገርዎ ለእግዚእ ኢየሱስ።
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
12:23
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.
Jesus autem respondit eis, dicens : Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
ወአውሥአ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወይቤሎሙ ናሁ በጽሐ ጊዜሁ ከመ ይሰባሕ ወልደ ዕጓለ እመሕያው።
Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
12:24
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου πεσὼν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἀποθάνῃ, αὐτὸς μόνος μένει· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ, πολὺν καρπὸν φέρει.

Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
12:25
ὁ φιλῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἀπολλύει αὐτήν, καὶ ὁ μισῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον φυλάξει αὐτήν.
ipsum solum manet : si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam ; et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam.

He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
12:26
ἐὰν ἐμοί τις διακονῇ, ἐμοὶ ἀκολουθείτω, καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγώ, ἐκεῖ καὶ ὁ διάκονος ὁ ἐμὸς ἔσται· ἐάν τις ἐμοὶ διακονῇ, τιμήσει αὐτὸν ὁ πατήρ.
Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur, et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.

If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
12:27
νῦν ἡ ψυχή μου τετάρακται, καὶ τί εἴπω; πάτερ, σῶσόν με ἐκ τῆς ὥρας ταύτης; ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ὥραν ταύτην·
Nunc anima mea turbata est. Et quid dicam ? Pater, salvifica me ex hac hora. Sed propterea veni in horam hanc :

“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
12:28
πάτερ, δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα. ἦλθεν οὖν φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ἐδόξασα καὶ πάλιν δοξάσω.
Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de caelo : Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.

Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
12:29
ὁ οὖν ὄχλος ὁ ἑστὼς ἀκούσας ἔλεγεν βροντὴν γεγονέναι· ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· ἄγγελος αὐτῷ λελάληκεν.
Turba ergo, quae stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii dicebant : Angelus ei locutus est.

Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
12:30
ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ δι’ ἐμὲ ἡ φωνὴ αὕτη γέγονεν ἀλλὰ δι’ ὑμᾶς.
Respondit Jesus, et dixit : Non propter me haec vox venit, sed propter vos.
ወአውሥአ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወይቤሎሙ አኮ በእንቲኣየ ዘመጽአ ዝ ቃል አላ በእንቲኣክሙ።
Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
12:31
νῦν κρίσις ἐστὶν τοῦ κόσμου τούτου· νῦν ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἐκβληθήσεται ἔξω,
Nunc judicium est mundi : nunc princeps hujus mundi ejicietur foras.

Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
12:32
κἀγὼ ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς, πάντας ἑλκύσω πρὸς ἐμαυτόν.
Et ego, si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
ወአነኒ እምከመ ተለዐልኩ እምድር እስሕብ ኵሎ ኀቤየ።
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
12:33
τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγεν σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ ἤμελλεν ἀποθνῄσκειν.
(Hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
ወዘንተ ዘይቤ እንዘ ይኤምሮሙ በአይ ሞት ሀለዎ ይሙት።
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
12:34
ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος, ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ πῶς λέγεις σὺ ὅτι δεῖ ὑψωθῆναι τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου; τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου;
Respondit ei turba : Nos audivimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in aeternum : et quomodo tu dicis : Oportet exaltari Filium hominis ? quis est iste Filius hominis ?

The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
12:35
εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν. περιπατεῖτε ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, ἵνα μὴ σκοτία ὑμᾶς καταλάβῃ· καὶ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει.
Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Adhuc modicum, lumen in vobis est. Ambulate dum lucem habetis, ut non vos tenebrae comprehendant ; et qui ambulat in tenebris, nescit quo vadat.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
12:36
ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, πιστεύετε εἰς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα υἱοὶ φωτὸς γένησθε. Ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἐκρύβη ἀπ’ αὐτῶν.
Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Haec locutus est Jesus, et abiit et abscondit se ab eis.

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
12:37
τοσαῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ σημεῖα πεποιηκότος ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν,
Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum ;
ወእንዘ መጠነዝ ተኣምረ ይገብር በቅድሜሆሙ ኢአምኑ ቦቱ።
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
12:38
ἵνα ὁ λόγος Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου πληρωθῇ, ὃν εἶπεν· κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν; καὶ ὁ βραχίων κυρίου τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη;
ut sermo Isaiae prophetae impleretur, quem dixit : Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro ? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est ?
ከመ ይብጻሕ ቃለ ኢሳይያስ ነቢይ ዘይቤ «እግዚኦ መኑ የአምነነ ስምዐነ ወለመኑ ተከሥተ መዝራዕቱ ለእግዚአብሔር።»
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
12:39
διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιστεύειν, ὅτι πάλιν εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας·
Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias :
ወበእንተ ዝንቱ ስእኑ አሚነ እስመ ካዕበ ይቤ ኢሳይያስ።
For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
12:40
τετύφλωκεν αὐτῶν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ ἐπώρωσεν αὐτῶν τὴν καρδίαν, ἵνα μὴ ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ νοήσωσιν τῇ καρδίᾳ καὶ στραφῶσιν, καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς.
Excaecavit oculos eorum, et induravit cor eorum ut non videant oculis, et non intelligant corde, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
«ዖራ አዕይንቲሆሙ ወገዝፋ አልባቢሆሙ ከመ ኢይርአዩ በአዕይንቲሆሙ ወኢይለብዉ በአልባቢሆሙ ወከመ ኢይትመየጡ ኀቤየ ወኢይሣሀሎሙ።»
“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
12:41
ταῦτα εἶπεν Ἡσαΐας, ὅτι εἶδεν τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησεν περὶ αὐτοῦ.
Haec dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam ejus, et locutus est de eo.
ወዘንተ ይቤ ኢሳይያስ እስመ ርእየ ስብሐቲሁ ወነገረ በእንቲኣሁ።
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
12:42
ὅμως μέντοι καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τοὺς Φαρισαίους οὐχ ὡμολόγουν, ἵνα μὴ ἀποσυνάγωγοι γένωνται·
Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum : sed propter pharisaeos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non ejicerentur.

Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
12:43
ἠγάπησαν γὰρ τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ.
Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis quam gloriam Dei.
እስመ አብደሩ ስብሐተ ሰብእ ፈድፋደ እምስብሐተ እግዚአብሔር።
for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
12:44
Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἔκραξεν καὶ εἶπεν· ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ πιστεύει εἰς ἐμὲ ἀλλὰ εἰς τὸν πέμψαντά με,
Jesus autem clamavit, et dixit : Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum qui misit me.
ወጸርሐ እግዚእ ኢየሱስ ወይቤ ዘየአምን ብየ አኮ ብየ ባሕቲቶ ዘየአምን ዘእንበለ በዘፈነወኒ።
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
12:45
καὶ ὁ θεωρῶν ἐμὲ θεωρεῖ τὸν πέμψαντά με.
Et qui videt me, videt eum qui misit me.
ወዘርእየ ኪያየ ርእዮ ለዘፈነወኒ።
He who sees me sees him who sent me.
12:46
ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ μὴ μείνῃ.
Ego lux in mundum veni, ut omnis qui credit in me, in tenebris non maneat.
ወአንሰ ብርሃን መጻእኩ ውስተ ዓለም ከመ ኵሉ ዘየአምን ብየ ኢይንበር ውስተ ጽልመት።
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
12:47
καὶ ἐάν τίς μου ἀκούσῃ τῶν ῥημάτων καὶ μὴ φυλάξῃ, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω αὐτόν· οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον ἵνα κρίνω τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ’ ἵνα σώσω τὸν κόσμον.
Et si quis audierit verba mea, et non custodierit, ego non judico eum ; non enim veni ut judicem mundum, sed ut salvificem mundum.
ወዘኒ ሰምዐ ቃልየ ወኢዐቀቦ አኮ አነ ዘእኴንኖ እስመ ኢመጻእኩ ከመ እኰንኖ ለዓለም ዘእንበለ ከመ አሕይዎ ለዓለም።
If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
12:48
ὁ ἀθετῶν ἐμὲ καὶ μὴ λαμβάνων τὰ ῥήματά μου ἔχει τὸν κρίνοντα αὐτόν· ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησα, ἐκεῖνος κρινεῖ αὐτὸν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ·
Qui spernit me et non accipit verba mea, habet qui judicet eum. Sermo quem locutus sum, ille judicabit eum in novissimo die.
ወዘሰ ክሕደኒ ወኢተወክፈ ቃልየ ሀሎ ዘይኴንኖ ቃል ዘአነ ነበብኩ ውእቱ ይኴንኖ በደኃሪት ዕለት።
He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
12:49
ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλάλησα, ἀλλ’ ὁ πέμψας με πατὴρ αὐτός μοι ἐντολὴν δέδωκεν τί εἴπω καὶ τί λαλήσω.
Quia ego ex meipso non sum locutus, sed qui misit me, Pater, ipse mihi mandatum dedit quid dicam et quid loquar.

For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
12:50
καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἡ ἐντολὴ αὐτοῦ ζωὴ αἰώνιός ἐστιν. ἃ οὖν ἐγὼ λαλῶ, καθὼς εἴρηκέν μοι ὁ πατήρ, οὕτως λαλῶ.
Et scio quia mandatum ejus vita aeterna est : quae ergo ego loquor, sicut dixit mihi Pater, sic loquor.

I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
