< Johan 11 >

1 Te vaengah Mary neh a manuca Martha kah a kho Bethany kah Lazarus tah satlo la om.
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, 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.
( It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Te dongah amih boeina loh Jesuh te a tah tih, “Boeipa, na lungnah te tlo coeng he,” a ti nah.
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
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 Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Te vaengah Jesuh loh Martha, a mana neh Lazarus te a lungnah.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Tedae a tloh te a yaak vaengah a om nah hmuen ah hnin nit bet naeh.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te, “Judea la koep cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa 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.
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither 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.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth 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 walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light 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 saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, a ih atah daem bitni,” a ti na uh.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Jesuh loh anih kah dueknah kawng a thui. Tedae amih loh aka ip kah duemnah kawng a thui la a poek uh.
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah sayalh la, “Lazarus duek coeng.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, 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 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Te dongah Didymus la a khue hnukbang Thomas loh, “Amah taengah duek puei ham mamih khaw cet uh sih,” a ti.
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Jesuh a pha vaengah anih te hlan khuiah hnin li a om coeng te a hmuh.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Bethany te Jerusalem phatom kah phalong hlainga tluk a hla ah om.
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek khaw Martha neh Mary te a nganpa kongah suem hamla muep pawk uh.
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Te dongah Jesuh ha lo te Martha loh a yaak vaengah anih te a doe. Tedae Mary tah im ah ngol.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Te vaengah Martha loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek pawt sue.
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 Tedae tahae pataeng Pathen taengah na bih te tah Pathen loh nang m'paek ni tila ka ming,” a ti nah.
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na nganpa te thoo bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha loh, “Hnukkhueng khohnin kah thohkoepnah dongah thoo ni tila ka ming ta,” a ti nah.
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection 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 unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
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 whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (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 saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should 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 when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 Te loh a yaak vaengah hlat thoo tih Jesuh taengla cet.
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Te vaengah kho khuila Jesuh ham pha hlan dae Martha loh a doe nah hmuen ah om pueng.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met 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.
The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep 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.
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
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.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and 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 ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesuh tah mikphi bo.
Jesus wept.
36 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Lazarus bahoeng a lungnah ke,” a ti uh.
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved 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.
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Te dongah Jesuh tah a khuiah thanueih tih hlan la koep ha pawk. Tedae hlan te lungko la om tih lungto khoep yalh.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
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 ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath 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 saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest 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.
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard 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.
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 Te phoeiah ol ue neh pang tih, “Lazarus. pawk ha cu,” a ti nah.
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
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 that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, 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 many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on 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 their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things 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 gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
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 thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and 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.
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
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.
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
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.
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that 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 that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Te dongah te khohnin lamloh amah te ngawn ham a moeh uh.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for 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.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his 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.
And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
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.
Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will 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 both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
