12:4
ወይቤይሁዳስምዖንአስቆሮታዊአሐዱእምአርዳኢሁዘሀለዎያግብኦ።
有一個門徒，就是那將要賣耶穌的加略人猶大，
Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
12:5
ለምንትኢሤጥዎለዝንቱዕፍረትለሠለስቱምእትዲናርይትወሀብለነዳያን።
說：「這香膏為甚麼不賣三十兩銀子賙濟窮人呢？」
“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
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
ወተማከሩሊቃነካህናትከመይቅትልዎለአልዓዛር።
但祭司長商議連拉撒路也要殺了；
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
12:11
እስመብዙኃንእምውስተአይሁድየሐውሩበእንቲኣሁወየአምኑበእግዚእኢየሱስ።
因有好些猶太人為拉撒路的緣故，回去信了耶穌。
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12:12
ወበሳኒታሰብእብዙኃንእለመጽኡለበዓልሶበሰምዑከመይመጽእእግዚእኢየሱስኢየሩሳሌም።
第二天，有許多上來過節的人聽見耶穌將到耶路撒冷，
On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
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
ወረከበእግዚእኢየሱስዕዋለአድግወተጽዕነዲቤሃ።
耶穌得了一個驢駒，就騎上，如經上所記的說：
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
12:15
በከመጽሑፍ «ኢትፍርሂወለተጽዮንነዋንጉሥኪይመጽእእንዘይጼዐንዲበዕዋለአድግ።»
錫安的民 哪，不要懼怕！ 你的王騎着驢駒來了。
“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
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.
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?”
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.
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
ወእንዘመጠነዝተኣምረይገብርበቅድሜሆሙኢአምኑቦቱ።
他雖然在他們面前行了許多神蹟，他們還是不信他。
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
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
ወበእንተዝንቱስእኑአሚነእስመካዕበይቤኢሳይያስ።
他們所以不能信，因為以賽亞又說：
For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
“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
ወዘንተይቤኢሳይያስእስመርእየስብሐቲሁወነገረበእንቲኣሁ።
以賽亞因為看見他的榮耀，就指着他說這話。

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
እስመአብደሩስብሐተሰብእፈድፋደእምስብሐተእግዚአብሔር።
這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛上帝的榮耀。
for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
12:44
ወጸርሐእግዚእኢየሱስወይቤዘየአምንብየአኮብየባሕቲቶዘየአምንዘእንበለበዘፈነወኒ።
耶穌大聲說：「信我的，不是信我，乃是信那差我來的。
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
12:45
ወዘርእየኪያየርእዮለዘፈነወኒ።
人看見我，就是看見那差我來的。
He who sees me sees him who sent me.

ወአንሰብርሃንመጻእኩውስተዓለምከመኵሉዘየአምንብየኢይንበርውስተጽልመት።
我到世上來，乃是光，叫凡信我的，不住在黑暗裏。
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
