Johan 11
1 Te vaengah Mary neh a manuca Martha kah a kho Bethany kah Lazarus tah satlo la om.
Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Tekah Mary tah Boeipa te botui neh aka hluk tih a kho te a sam neh aka huih ni. Anih kah nganpa Lazarus tah tlo.
(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)
3 Te dongah amih boeina loh Jesuh te a tah tih, “Boeipa, na lungnah te tlo coeng he,” a ti nah.
So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.
4 Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah tloh tah dueknah la om mahpawh tedae Pathen kah thangpomnah ham ni. Te daengah ni te lamloh Pathen capa te a thangpom eh,” a ti nah.
When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.
5 Te vaengah Jesuh loh Martha, a mana neh Lazarus te a lungnah.
Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Tedae a tloh te a yaak vaengah a om nah hmuen ah hnin nit bet naeh.
So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.
7 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te, “Judea la koep cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 Hnukbang rhoek loh amah te, “Rhabbi, Judah rhoek loh nang dae ham m'mae uh pueng lalah te la koep na cet aya?” a ti uh.
The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again?
9 Jesuh loh, “Hnin at te khonoek loh hlainit a om moenih a? Khat khat long ni khothaih ah a pongpa atah he diklai kah vangnah te a hmuh dongah tongtah pawh.
Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Tedae pakhat loh khoyin ah a pongpa atah anih ah vangnah a om pawt dongah a tongtah,” a ti nah.
But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him.
11 Hekah he a thui phoeiah amih te, “Mamih paya Lazarus ip tih anih haeng ham ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep.
12 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, a ih atah daem bitni,” a ti na uh.
Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well.
13 Jesuh loh anih kah dueknah kawng a thui. Tedae amih loh aka ip kah duemnah kawng a thui la a poek uh.
Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep.
14 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah sayalh la, “Lazarus duek coeng.
Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead.
15 Tedae nangmih ham ka omngaih. Te daengah ni pahoi ka om pawt te na tangnah uh eh. Tedae anih taengla cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him.
16 Te dongah Didymus la a khue hnukbang Thomas loh, “Amah taengah duek puei ham mamih khaw cet uh sih,” a ti.
Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.
17 Jesuh a pha vaengah anih te hlan khuiah hnin li a om coeng te a hmuh.
Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.
18 Bethany te Jerusalem phatom kah phalong hlainga tluk a hla ah om.
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about two miles away;
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek khaw Martha neh Mary te a nganpa kongah suem hamla muep pawk uh.
And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.
20 Te dongah Jesuh ha lo te Martha loh a yaak vaengah anih te a doe. Tedae Mary tah im ah ngol.
When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.
21 Te vaengah Martha loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek pawt sue.
Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.
22 Tedae tahae pataeng Pathen taengah na bih te tah Pathen loh nang m'paek ni tila ka ming,” a ti nah.
But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.
23 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na nganpa te thoo bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.
24 Martha loh, “Hnukkhueng khohnin kah thohkoepnah dongah thoo ni tila ka ming ta,” a ti nah.
Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.
25 Jesuh loh anih taengah, “Kai tah thohkoepnah neh hingnah la ka om. Kai ah aka tangnah tah duek cakhaw hing ni.
Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;
26 Kai aka tangnah tih aka hing boeih tah kumhal duela duek loengloeng mahpawh, he he na tangnah a?” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith? (aiōn g165)
27 Amah te, “Thuem ngawn Boeipa, nang tah diklai la aka lo Pathen capa Khrih ni tila kan tangnah,” a ti nah.
She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.
28 Hekah he a thui phoeiah cet tih a mana Mary a khue tih, “Saya ha pai tih nang n'khue,” duem a ti nah.
And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you.
29 Te loh a yaak vaengah hlat thoo tih Jesuh taengla cet.
And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.
30 Te vaengah kho khuila Jesuh ham pha hlan dae Martha loh a doe nah hmuen ah om pueng.
Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.
31 Im ah anih aka om puei Judah rhoek neh anih aka suem rhoek loh Mary hlat thoo tih a caeh te a hmuh uh vaengah aka rhap ham hlan la cet tila a poek uh tih a vai uh.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.
32 Mary loh Jesuh om nah a pha tih amah te a hmuh vaengah a kho kung ah bakop tih, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek mahpawh,” a ti nah.
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.
33 Jesuh loh anih a rhah neh anih aka puei uh Judah rhoek kah a rhah te a hmuh vaengah a mueihla thanueih tih thuen.
And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,
34 Te dongah, “Melam anih na khueh uh?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te, “Boeipa, ha lo lamtah so lah,” a ti na uh.
And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.
35 Jesuh tah mikphi bo.
And Jesus himself was weeping.
36 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Lazarus bahoeng a lungnah ke,” a ti uh.
So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him!
37 Tedae amih khuikah hlangvang loh, “Mikdael kah mik te aka tueng sak long he te khaw a duek pawt ham a saii thai moenih a?” a ti uh.
But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?
38 Te dongah Jesuh tah a khuiah thanueih tih hlan la koep ha pawk. Tedae hlan te lungko la om tih lungto khoep yalh.
So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.
39 Jesuh loh, “Lungto te khoe uh lah,” a ti nah hatah aka duek kah a ngannu Martha loh, “Boeipa, hninli om coeng tih rhim coeng,” a ti nah.
Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.
40 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na tangnah atah Pathen kah thangpomnah na hmuh ni tila nang taengah ka thui moenih a?” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?
41 Te dongah lungto te a khoe uh. Te phoeiah Jesuh loh a mik te a dai hang tih, “A Pa, kai ol na hnatun dongah nang te kan uem.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.
42 Te phoeiah kai kah he na yaak yoeyah tila ka ming. Tedae hlangping loh m'pai thil dongah nang loh kai nan tueih te a tangnah uh ham ka thui,” a ti.
I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.
43 Te phoeiah ol ue neh pang tih, “Lazarus. pawk ha cu,” a ti nah.
Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!
44 Te vaengah aka duek te a kut a kho himbaipen neh a yen tih a hman kah te himbaica neh a yol doela ha thoeng. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Anih te hlam uh lamtah caeh sak uh,” a ti nah.
And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.
45 Te dongah Judah khuikah te yet, Mary taengla a pha tih a saii te aka hmu long tah amah te a tangnah uh.
Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.
46 Tedae amih khuikah a ngen tah Pharisee rhoek taengla cet uh tih Jesuh loh a saii te a thui pa uh.
But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.
47 Te dongah khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh khoboei a hueh uh tih, “Hekah hlang loh miknoek muep a saii dongah metlam n'saii eh?
Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.
48 Hetlam he anih n'hlahpham uh koinih anih te boeih a tangnah uh ni. Te vaengah Roman rhoek te ha lo uh vetih mamih kah a hmuen neh namtu khaw a khuen ni,” a ti uh.
If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.
49 Tedae amih khuikah pakhat, tevaeng kum kah khosoihham la aka om Kaiaphas loh amih te, “Nangmih loh pakhat khaw na ming uh moenih.
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;
50 Hlang pakhat loh pilnam yueng la duek vetih namtu tah boeih a poci pawt koinih nangmih ham rhoei ngai tila na poek uh moenih,” a ti nah.
You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.
51 Tedae hekah he amah lamkah a thui moenih. Tedae te kum kah khosoihham la a om dongah namtu ham Jesuh duek la a cai te ni a phong coeng.
He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;
52 Te phoeiah namtom ham bueng pawt tih taekyak tangtae Pathen ca rhoek te khaw pakhat la coicip ham pawn ni.
And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.
53 Te dongah te khohnin lamloh amah te ngawn ham a moeh uh.
And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.
54 Te dongah Jesuh loh Judah rhoek lakliah sayalh la pongpa voelpawh. Tedae kho yoei kah khosoek Ephraim la a khue kho ah cet tih hnukbang rhoek neh naeh uh.
So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.
55 Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah yoom tah om tom coeng. Te dongah amamih te ciim ham yoom hlanah paeng lamloh Jerusalem la muep cet uh.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover.
56 Jesuh te a toem uh tih bawkim khuiah a pai uh vaengah, “Nangmih ta metlam na poek uh? Khotue la ha pawk loengloeng mahpawh,” tila khat neh khat thui uh thae.
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?
57 Tedae khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh, “Khat khat loh a om nah a ming atah amah te tuuk ham ha puen saeh,” tila ol a paek uh coeng.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.
