Yochanan 11:9-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. In reply, he said, Are there not Sheneym Asar (Twelve) sha'ot (hours) of HaYom? If the derech of anyone is a derech by Yom, he does not stumble, because the Ohr HaOlam Hazeh he sees. [Jer 13:16; Ps 1:6]

10. But if the derech of anyone is a derech baLailah, he stumbles because the Ohr is not in him.

11. These things he said. Then, after this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, El'azar our chaver haahuv has fallen asleep, but I am setting out to awaken him.

12. Therefore, the talmidim said to him, Adoni, if he has fallen asleep, he will be granted refu'ah (healing).

13. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had spoken about the mavet of El'azar. However, those ones supposed that he was speaking about only shlof (sleep).

14. Then, therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them plainly, El'azar died.

15. And I have lev same'ach for your sake, that I was not there, that you may have emunah. But let us go to him.

16. Therefore, T'oma--his name means Twin--said to his fellow talmidim, Let us go also, that we may die [al kiddush ha-Shem] with him.

17. Having arrived, therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach discovered El'azar had already been in the kever (tomb) arba'ah yamim (four days).

18. Now Beit-Anyah (Bethany) was near Yerushalayim, about fifteen stadia away.

19. And many of those of Yehudah had come to Marta and Miryam to give them nechamah (consolation, comfort) regarding the ach of the achayot. [IYOV 2:11]

20. Therefore, Marta when she heard that Yehoshua comes, met him; but Miryam was sitting shivah in the bais.

21. Therefore, Marta said to Yehoshua, Adoni, if you were here, achi (my brother) would not have passed away.

22. But even now I have da'as that whatever you ask Hashem, Hashem will give you.

23. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to her, Achich yakum (Your brother will stand up [up from the Mesim]).

24. Marta says to Yehoshua, I have da'as that he will rise in the Techiyas HaMesim on the Yom HaAcharon (Last Day). [DANIEL 12:2]

25. Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, Ani Hu the Tekhiyyah and the Chayyim (Life): the one having emunah in me, even if he should die, will live,

26. and everyone living and having emunah in me, never dies. Do you have emunah in this?

27. She says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Ken, Adoni. I have emunah that you are the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the Ben HaElohim, Hu Habah el HaOlam.

28. And having said this, she withdrew and summoned Miryam her achot, telling her privately, Rabbeinu and Moreinu is here, and summons you.

29. And that isha, when she heard, got up quickly and was coming to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
