Johan 1
1 A tongcuek ah Ol om tih ol tah Pathen neh om. Te dongah ol tah Pathen ni.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Anih tah a tongcuek ah Pathen neh om.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 A cungkuem he anih rhangneh om tih anih pawt atah khat khaw om thai pawh.
All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made.
4 Anih tah hing tih a khuiah hingnah om. Tekah hingnah te khaw hlang kah vangnah la om.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Te phoeiah vangnah tah a hmuep khuiah sae tih a hmuep loh anih buem pawh.
And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang tueih, a ming ah Johan te phoe.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Anih tah vangnah kawng te laipai ham, anih rhangneh hlang boeih loh a tangnah ham laipai la ha pawk.
This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
8 Anih te vangnah la om pawt dae vangnah kawng aka phong ham ni.
He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
9 Vangnah taktak tah om. Te tah hlang boeih aka tue ham diklai la ha pawk.
That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
10 Diklai ah amah om tih anih rhangneh diklai he om dae diklai loh amah te ming pawh.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Amah rhoek taengah a pawk pah dae, amah rhoek loh anih te doe uh pawh.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 Tedae anih aka doe boeih neh, anih ming te aka tangnah rhoek tah Pathen ca la om ham saithainah a paek coeng.
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name.
13 Amih tah thii kah, pumsa huengaihnah nen moenih, hlang kah huengaihnah nen moenih, tedae Pathen kah a cun rhoek ni.
Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Te phoeiah Ol tah pumsa la coeng tih mamih khuiah om. Te dongah a thangpomnah te m'hmuh uh. Te tah oltak neh lungvatnah aka bae Pa taeng lamkah khueh duen thangpomnah ni.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
15 Johan loh anih kawng te a phong vaengah pang tih, “Kai hnukah aka pawk tah kai hmaiah om tih kai lakah lamhma la om'” ka ti te anih coeng ni,” a ti.
John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
16 A soepnah lamloh lungvatnah sokah lungvatnah khaw mamih loh boeih n'dang uh coeng.
And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 Moses lamloh olkhueng m'paek tih, lungvatnah neh oltak tah Khrih Jesuh lamloh ha thoeng.
For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 Pathen te ana hmuh noek moenih, a napa kah rhang dongah aka om Pathen kah khueh duen amah tah tueng coeng.
No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 Jerusalem kah Judah rhoek loh khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te Johan taengah a tueih uh tih, “Nang ulae?” tila a dawt uh. Te vaengah Johan kah a phong tah he coeng ni.
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to him, to ask him: Who art thou?
20 Te vaengah a phong tih a basa moenih. Te dongah, “Kai tah Khrih moenih,” tila a phong.
And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ.
21 Te vaengah amah te, “Te koinih ulae? Nang Elijah a?” a ti na uh. Tedae, “Kai moenih,” a ti nah. Nang te tonghma nim ca? a ti nah vaengah, “Moenih,” a ti nah.
And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.
22 Te dongah amah te, “U nim ca? kaimih aka tueih rhoek taengah ollannah ka paek uh hamla namah kawng te metlam na thui eh?” a ti na uh.
They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Te daengah, “Kai tah tonghma Isaiah loh a thui bangla ‘Boeipa kah longpuei te dueng uh laeh’ tila khosoek ah aka pang ol ni,” a ti nah.
He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.
24 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek taengah aka om rhoek te a tueih uh.
And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 Te vaengah amah a dawt uh tih, “Khrih la na om pawt atah balae tih na nuem? Nang te Elijah moenih, tonghma bal moenih,” a ti uh.
And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
26 Johan loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai loh tui ah kan nuem. Nangmih lakli ah aka pai te na hmat uh moenih.
John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.
27 Anih te kai hnukah ha pawk dae a khokhom rhui ka hlam ham pataeng a koihhilh la ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
28 He rhoek he tah Jordan rhalvangan kah Bethany ah om. Te rhoek ah Johan loh a nuem khaw om coeng.
These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 A vuenhnin ah a taengla Jesuh ha pawk te a hmuh tih, “Pathen kah tuca ke, anih loh diklai kah tholhnah te a phueih.
The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
30 Kai loh, ‘Kai hnukah aka pawk hlang tah kai hmaiah om coeng, kai lakah lamhma la a om dongah,’ ka ti te tah amah coeng ni.
This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
31 Kai khaw amah he kana ming pawh. Tedae Israel taengah a tueng ham dongah ni amah ha pawk vaengah kai loh tui ah ka nuem,” a ti.
And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 Te phoeiah Johan loh a phong tih, “Mueihla tah vahu bangla vaan lamkah ha rhum tih anih soah a om te ka hmuh coeng,” a ti.
And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
33 Amah te ka hmat moenih. Tedae tui ah nuem ham kai aka tueih loh kai taengah, “A soah mueihla rhum tih a om thil te na hmuh. Anih tah Mueihla Cim dongah aka nuem la om,” a ti.
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 Kai loh ka hmuh coeng dongah Pathen capa tah anih ni tite ka phong coeng.
And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
35 A vuen ah Johan neh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit tah koep pai,
The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
36 Jesuh a caeh te a sawt doeah, “Pathen kah tuca ke,” a ti nah.
And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
37 Te vaengah hnukbang panit loh anih kah a thui te a yaak rhoi tih Jesuh a vai rhoi.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesuh te a mael vaengah amih rhoi a vai rhoi te a hmuh tih, “Balae na mae?” a ti nah. Te rhoi long khaw amah te, “Rhabbi, “[Te tah saya ni a thuingaih a ti], melam na naeh?” a ti na rhoi.
And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master, ) where dwellest thou?
39 Amih rhoi te, “Ha lo lamtah so rhoi lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah cet rhoi tih a rhaeh nah te a hmuh rhoi. Tedae khonoek parha tluk a lo coeng dongah tekah khohnin ah tah amah taengah rhaeh rhoi.
He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
40 Johan taengkah a yaak rhoi khuikah pakhat tah Simon Peter kah a manuca Andrew khaw om tih amah a vai rhoi.
And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
41 Te long tah a maya Simon te a hmuh vaengah lamhma la, “Messiah [Te tah Khrih ni a thuingaih], ka hmuh rhoi coeng,” a ti nah.
He findeth first his brother Simon, and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 Anih te Jesuh taengah a khuen tih amah a hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nang tah Johan capa Simon ni, nang he Kephas [Te tah Peter tila a thuingaih] la n'khue ni,” a ti nah.
And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.
43 A vuen ah Galilee la caeh hamla a ngaih. Te vaengah Philip a hmuh tih Jesuh loh anih te, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah.
On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow me.
44 Philip tah Peter neh Andrew kah a kho Bethsaida lamkah ni.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip loh Nathanael te a hmuh vaengah a taengah, “Moses neh tonghma rhoek loh Olkhueng khuiah a daek, Nazareth kah Joseph capa Jesuh te ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nah.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.
46 Te vaengah Nathanael loh Philip taengah, “Nazareth lamkah a then khat khaw om thai a?” a ti nah. Philip loh amah te, “Ha lo lamtah so lah,” a ti nah.
And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see.
47 Jesuh loh amah taengah Nathanael ha pawk te a hmuh vaengah, “Israel taktak la ke anih dongah tuengkhuepnah om pawh,” tila anih te a thui.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him: and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile.
48 Nathanael loh, “Metlam kai nan ming?” a ti nah vaengah amah te Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Philip loh nang te n'khue tom kah, thaibu hmuiah na om vaengah ni nang kan hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael loh Jesuh te, “Rhabbi, nang tah Pathen capa ni, namah tah Israel manghai ni,” a ti nah.
Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.
50 Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih a doo tih, “Thaibu hmuiah nang kan hmuh te nang taengah kan thui dongah na tangnah nama? A tanglue rhoek te na hmuh bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see.
51 Te phoeiah anih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, vaan te ong uh vetih Pathen kah puencawn rhoek loh hlang capa a rhum thil neh a luei tak te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
And he saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
