Johan 5
1 Acunkäna Judahea pawi mat ve se, Jesuh Jerusalema citki.
After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Jerusalem mlüh, To Mkawt peia Hebru läk am Bethzatha ami ti luhnak mhma lawki tui büm mat veki.
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in Hebrew 'Bethesda.' It has five arcades.
3 Am phetkia khyang khawhah, amikmü, akhawkxo, ja a kut khaw thikie ngjän u lü, tuia a ngsün law vai mtäteikie.
In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.
4 Isetiakyaküng, Bawipaa khankhawngsä, akcün kcün üng tui büm üng kyum law lü, tui a ksün ksün law. Acunüng, au pi, tuia ngsün päng ja tuia khana kco maki cun a natnak naküt daw be khawiki.
5 Khyang mat kum thumkip ja khyet kunki veki.
And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 Jesuh naw acukba khawvei ve päng lü ngjänki ti ksing lü a hmuh üng, “Na daw be vai na ngja hlüki aw?” ti lü, a kthäh.
Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"
7 Ani naw, “Saja aw, tuia ngsün law üng tui büm da na kaih khai u am ve. Ka law k’um üng akce he naw na khe u lü kcoei ma thakthakie,” a ti.
"Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming some one else steps down before me."
8 Jesuh naw, “Tho law, na ngjänak lo lü cita,” a ti.
"Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."
9 Angxita ani cun daw beki. A ngjänak lo lü citki. Acuna mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
10 Judah ngvaie naw daw bekia veia, “Tuhngawi Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki. Judah Thuma tuhngawi na ngjännak käh na kawh hü vai,” ami ti.
That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."
11 Ani naw jah msang lü, “Na mdaw beki naw, ‘Na ngjännak lo lü cita’ a ti ni, ti lü a jah mtheh be.
"He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"
12 Amimi naw, “Na ngjännak lo lü cita tiki u ni?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?"
13 Acunsepi, Jesuh khyangea ksunga khyükei se, ani mdaw bekia Jesuh cun u hmana am ksing.
But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.
14 Acun käna, Jesuh naw acuna khyang cun Temple a k'uma hmu be lü, “Tenga, na daw be pängki. Käh mkhyekat be ti kawpi; am ani üng ta, ahina ksetam bawk lü na khana pha law khai ni,” a ti.
Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, or a worse thing may befall you."
15 Daw bekia khyang cun cit lü, ani mdaw beki cun Jesuh ni ti lü Judah ngvaie üng a jah mtheh.
The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored him to health;
16 Acukba sabbath mhnüp üng a bilawha phäha Judah ngvaie naw Jesuh mkhuimkhakie.
and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.
17 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Ka Pa aläa khüikia kyase, kei pi ka khüiki,” a ti.
His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."
18 Jesuh Sabbath käh jeih lü, Mhnam pi amäta Pa ni tia a pyen ja, amät Mhnam am tängkia a pyena phäha, Judah ngvaie naw hnim law hlü bawkbawkie.
On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.
19 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, Capa amät naw i am pawh thei. Acunsepi, Pa naw a pawh hmu lü pawhki. Pa naw a pawh naküt cun Capa naw pi acukba pawhki.
"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.
20 “Pa naw Capa mhläkphya na lü, ahmäi amäta pawh naküt mhnuhki. Nami müncan vaia Pa naw Capa üng ahina kthaka däm bawkie jah mdang law khai.
For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.
21 Pa naw akthie jah mtho be lü, xünnak a jah peta mäiha, akcanga Capa naw pi a hlüeia khyang üng xünnak pe khai.
For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
22 Pa naw ua lei am mtai, acunsepi, ngthumkhyahnak avan Capa üng a pet päng.
The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
23 “Acun cun, Pa ami leisawnga mäiha khyang naküt naw Capa pi leisawng law khaie. Capa am leisawngki cun ani tüih lawki Pa am leisawngkia kyaki.
that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.
24 “Akcanga, ka ning jah mthehki, ka ngthu ngai lü na tüih lawki jumki naw angsäi xünnak yahki. Ngthumkhyahnak käh khamei khai, thihnak üngka naw xünnak pha pängki ni. (aiōnios g166)
"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life. (aiōnios g166)
25 “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, thi pängki he naw Pamhnama Capa a ngkhü kthai ngja acun he. Ngjakia khyang naküt a xüng be vaia kcün pha law khai, akcanga ta pha law pängki ni.
"In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.
26 “Pa amät cun xünnaka phung ania mäiha, Pa naw Capa pi xünnaka phunga kyasaki.
For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.
27 Acunüng, ngthumkhyahnak vaia ana pi a pet ni. Isetiakyaküng, ani cun Khyanga Capa ania phäha kyaki.
And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, because He is the Son of Man.
28 “Ahina phäha käh müncan ua, lungdüa awmki he naküt naw Capa kthai ami ngjaknak vaia kcün pha law khai,
Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--
29 akdaw bilokie tho be u lü xünnak yah u se, akse bilokie tho be u lü mkatnak khamei khaie.
they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.
30 “Kamät naw i am pawh thei nawng. Ka ngjaka mäiha lei ka mtaiki; ka ngthumkhyah ngkhaiki. Isetiakyaküng, kamäta ngjak hlü käh sui lü, Pa na tüih lawkia ngjak hlü ka suia phäha kyaki.
"I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.
31 “Kamäta mawngma ka saksi üng ka saksi cangki ti mdangnak vai am ve.
"If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.
32 “Ka mawng saksiki akce veki; ani naw ka mawng a saksi cangki ti ka ksingki.
There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.
33 “Johana veia ngsä tüih uki se, ani naw ngthungtak saksi khai.
"You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.
34 “Khyang he naw ka mawng ihawkba ami saksi üng kei am ngtungjin nawng. Acunsepi nangmi küikyannak nami yah vaia phäh hin ka pyena kyaki.
But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.
35 “Johan cun däi lü vaikia meiim mat am tängki. Ania kvai asäng nami jenak vaia nami ngja hlükie.
He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.
36 “Kei naw Johana saksia kthaka dawki saksi ka taki. Isetiakyaküng, Pa naw a na peta khut ka biki. Ka bia khut naw Pa naw a na tüih law ti cun mdanki.
"But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.
37 “Acunüng, na tüih lawkia Pa naw pi keia mawng na saksi petki. Iti üngpi a kthai ngja lü a hmai am hmu khawi uki.
And the Father who sent me, He has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.
38 A tüih law am nami jumeia phäh, Pamhnama ngthu pyen pi nami mlunga am kenei uki.
Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom He has sent.
39 “Cangcima k'uma angsäia xünnak nami hmu khaia ngai u lü, cangcim nami khe khawi jaiki. Acuna cangcim cun keia mawng saksikia kyaki. (aiōnios g166)
"You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 “Acunsepi, xünnak nami yah khaia ka veia am law hlü uki.
and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
41 “Khyanga mhlünmtainak am sui nawng.
"I do not accept glory from man,
42 Cunsepi, nangmi cun ia khyang mjü ti ka ksingki. Pamhnam nami mlungmthin kcang üng am nami mhläkphyanak pi ka ksingki.
but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.
43 “Ka pa a ngming üng law ngü se, am na dokham uki. Amäta ngming üng lawki khyang ani vai sü ta nami dokham khaie sü.
I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.
44 “Pamhnam mat däka vei üngka naw lawkia hlüngtainak käh sui u lü, namimät üngka hlüngtainak nami hlawheikie naw kei ihawkba nami na jum thei khai ni?
How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Kei naw, Paa veia ka ning jah khya khaia käh ngai u. Nami üpnak Mosi naw va ning jah khya khai.
"Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.
46 “Mosi nami jum üng kei nami na jum khai. Isetiüng, ani naw keia mawng va yuk hütki.
For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
47 “Cunsepi, ania yuk am nami jum üng, ihawkba keia pyen nami jum khai?” a ti.
But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
