John 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 Now there was a certain sick man, Lazarus of Bethania, from the town of Mary and her sister Martha.	1 OR v’era un certo Lazaro, di Betania, del castello di Maria, e di Marta, sua sorella, il quale era infermo.
2 And Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was sick.	2 Or Maria era quella che unse d’olio odorifero il Signore, ed asciugò i suoi piedi co’ suoi capelli; della quale il fratello Lazaro era infermo.
3 Therefore, his sisters sent to him, saying: “Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.”	3 Le sorelle adunque mandarono a dire a Gesù: Signore, ecco, colui che tu ami è infermo.
4 Then, upon hearing this, Jesus said to them: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”	4 E Gesù, udito ciò, disse: Questa infermità non è a morte, ma per la gloria di Dio, acciocchè il Figliuol di Dio sia glorificato per essa.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.	5 Or Gesù amava Marta, e la sua sorella, e Lazaro.
6 Even so, after he heard that he was sick, he then still remained in the same place for two days.	6 Come dunque egli ebbe inteso ch’egli era infermo, dimorò ancora nel luogo ove egli era due giorni.
7 Then, after these things, he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”	7 Poi appresso disse a’ suoi discepoli: Andiam di nuovo in Giudea.
8 The disciples said to him: “Rabbi, the Jews are even now seeking to stone you. And would you go there again?”	8 I discepoli gli dissero: Maestro, i Giudei pur ora cercavan di lapidarti, e tu vai di nuovo là?
9 Jesus responded: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.	9 Gesù rispose: Non vi son eglino dodici ore del giorno? se alcuno cammina di giorno, non s’intoppa, perciocchè vede la luce di questo mondo.
10 But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”	10 Ma, se alcuno cammina di notte, s’intoppa, perciocchè egli non ha luce.
11 He said these things, and after this, he said to them: “Lazarus our friend is sleeping. But I am going, so that I may awaken him from sleep.”	11 Egli disse queste cose; e poi appresso disse loro: Lazaro, nostro amico, dorme; ma io vo per isvegliarlo.
12 And so his disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall be healthy.”	12 Laonde i suoi discepoli dissero: Signore, se egli dorme, sarà salvo.
13 But Jesus had spoken about his death. Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep.	13 Or Gesù avea detto della morte di esso; ma essi pensavano ch’egli avesse detto del dormir del sonno.
14 Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died.	14 Allora adunque Gesù disse loro apertamente: Lazaro è morto.
15 And I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”	15 E per voi, io mi rallegro che io non v’era, acciocchè crediate; ma andiamo a lui.
16 And then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go, too, so that we may die with him.”	16 Laonde Toma, detto Didimo, disse a’ discepoli, suoi compagni: Andiamo ancor noi, acciocchè muoiamo con lui
17 And so Jesus went. And he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days.	17 Gesù adunque, venuto, trovò che Lazaro era già da quattro giorni nel monumento.
18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.)	18 Or Betania era vicin di Gerusalemme intorno a quindici stadi.
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.	19 E molti dei Giudei eran venuti a Marta, e Maria, per consolarle del lor fratello.
20 Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.	20 Marta adunque, come udì che Gesù veniva, gli andò incontro, ma Maria sedeva in casa.
21 And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.	21 E Marta disse a Gesù: Signore, se tu fossi stato qui, il mio fratello non sarebbe morto.
22 But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you.”	22 Ma pure, io so ancora al presente che tutto ciò che tu chiederai a Dio, egli te lo darà.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”	23 Gesù le disse: Il tuo fratello risusciterà.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day.”	24 Marta gli disse: Io so ch’egli risusciterà nella risurrezione, nell’ultimo giorno.
25 Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.	25 Gesù le disse: Io son la risurrezione e la vita; chiunque crede in me, benchè sia morto, viverà.
26 And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this?”	26 E chiunque vive, e crede in me, non morrà giammai in eterno. Credi tu questo?
27 She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.”	27 Ella gli disse: Sì, Signore; io credo che tu sei il Cristo, il Figliuol di Dio, che avea da venire al mondo.
28 And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary quietly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and he is calling you.”	28 E, detto questo, se ne andò, e chiamò di nascosto Maria, sua sorella, dicendo: Il Maestro è qui, e ti chiama.
29 When she heard this, she rose up quickly and went to him.	29 Essa, come ebbe ciò udito, si levò prestamente, e venne a lui.
30 For Jesus had not yet arrived in the town. But he was still at that place where Martha had met him.	30 Or Gesù non era ancor giunto nel castello; ma era nel luogo ove Marta l’avea incontrato.
31 Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there.”	31 Laonde i Giudei ch’eran con lei in casa, e la consolavano, veggendo che Maria s’era levata in fretta, ed era uscita fuori, la seguitarono, dicendo: Ella se ne va al monumento, per pianger quivi.
32 Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”	32 Maria adunque, quando fu venuta là ove era Gesù, vedutolo, gli si gittò ai piedi, dicendogli: Signore, se tu fossi stato qui, il mio fratello non sarebbe morto
33 And then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had arrived with her weeping, he groaned in spirit and became troubled.	33 Gesù adunque, come vide che ella, e i Giudei ch’eran venuti con lei, piangevano, fremè nello spirito, e si conturbò.
34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”	34 E disse: Ove l’avete voi posto? Essi gli dissero: Signore, vieni, e vedi.
35 And Jesus wept.	35 E Gesù lagrimò.
36 Therefore, the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”	36 Laonde i Giudei dicevano: Ecco, come l’amava!
37 But some of them said, “Would not he who opened the eyes of one born blind have been able to cause this man not to die?”	37 Ma alcuni di loro dissero: Non poteva costui, che aperse gli occhi al cieco, fare ancora che costui non morisse?
38 Therefore, Jesus, again groaning from within himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone had been placed over it.	38 Laonde Gesù, fremendo di nuovo in sè stesso, venne al monumento; or quello era una grotta, e v’era una pietra posta disopra.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who had died, said to him, “Lord, by now it will smell, for this is the fourth day.”	39 E Gesù disse: Togliete via la pietra. Ma Marta, la sorella del morto, disse: Signore, egli pute già; perciocchè egli è morto già da quattro giorni.
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?”	40 Gesù le disse: Non t’ho io detto che, se tu credi, tu vedrai la gloria di Dio?
41 Therefore, they took away the stone. Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: “Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me.	41 Essi adunque tolsero via la pietra dal luogo ove il morto giaceva. E Gesù, levati in alto gli occhi, disse: Padre, io ti ringrazio che tu mi hai esaudito.
42 And I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the people who are standing nearby, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”	42 Or ben sapeva io che tu sempre mi esaudisci; ma io ho detto ciò per la moltitudine qui presente, acciocchè credano che tu mi hai mandato.
43 When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”	43 E detto questo, gridò con gran voce: Lazaro, vieni fuori.
44 And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, “Release him and let him go.”	44 E il morto uscì, avendo le mani e i piedi fasciati, e la faccia involta in uno sciugatoio. Gesù disse loro: Scioglietelo, e lasciatelo andare
45 Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come to Mary and Martha, and who had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.	45 Laonde molti de’ Giudei che eran venuti a Maria, vedute tutte le cose che Gesù avea fatte, credettero in lui.
46 But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.	46 MA alcuni di loro andarono a’ Farisei, e disser loro le cose che Gesù avea fatte.
47 And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: “What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.	47 E perciò i principali sacerdoti, e i Farisei, raunarono il concistoro, e dicevano: Che facciamo? quest’uomo fa molti miracoli.
48 If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.”	48 Se noi lo lasciamo così, tutti crederanno in lui, e i Romani verranno, e distruggeranno e il nostro luogo, e la nostra nazione.
49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, said to them: “You do not understand anything.	49 Ed un di loro, cioè Caiafa, ch’era sommo sacerdote di quell’anno, disse loro: Voi non avete alcun conoscimento;
50 Nor do you realize that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the entire nation should not perish.”	50 e non considerate ch’egli ci giova che un uomo muoia per lo popolo, e che tutta la nazione non perisca.
51 Yet he did not say this from himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation.	51 Or egli non disse questo da sè stesso; ma, essendo sommo sacerdote di quell’anno, profetizzò che Gesù morrebbe per la nazione;
52 And not only for the nation, but in order to gather together as one the children of God who have been dispersed.	52 e non solo per quella nazione, ma ancora per raccogliere in uno i figliuoli di Dio dispersi.
53 Therefore, from that day, they planned to put him to death.	53 Da quel giorno adunque presero insieme consiglio d’ucciderlo.
54 And so, Jesus no longer walked in public with the Jews. But he went into a region near the desert, to a city which is called Ephraim. And he lodged there with his disciples.	54 Laonde Gesù non andava più apertamente attorno tra i Giudei; ma se ne andò di là nella contrada vicina del deserto, in una città detta Efraim, e quivi se ne stava co’ suoi discepoli.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near. And many from the countryside ascended to Jerusalem before the Passover, so that they might sanctify themselves.	55 Or la pasqua de’ Giudei era vicina; e molti di quella contrada salirono in Gerusalemme, innanzi la pasqua, per purificarsi.
56 Therefore, they were seeking Jesus. And they conferred with one another, while standing in the temple: “What do you think? Will he come to the feast day?”	56 Cercavano adunque Gesù; ed essendo nel tempio, dicevano gli uni agli altri: Che vi par egli? non verrà egli alla festa?
57 And the high priests and Pharisees had given an order, so that if anyone would know where he may be, he should reveal it, so that they might apprehend him.	57 Or i principali sacerdoti, e i Farisei avean dato ordine che, se alcuno sapeva ove egli fosse, lo significasse, acciocchè lo pigliassero
