Johan 11
1 Te vaengah Mary neh a manuca Martha kah a kho Bethany kah Lazarus tah satlo la om.
And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and 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 who anointed the feet of Jesus with perfume, and wiped them 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.
And his two sisters sent to Jesus, and said: Our Lord, 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.
And Jesus said: This sickness is not that of death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it.
5 Te vaengah Jesuh loh Martha, a mana neh Lazarus te a lungnah.
Now Jesus loved Martha and Mary, and Lazarus.
6 Tedae a tloh te a yaak vaengah a om nah hmuen ah hnin nit bet naeh.
And when he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days.
7 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te, “Judea la koep cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
And afterwards he said to his disciples: Come, let us go again into Judaea.
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 to him: Our Rabbi, the Jews have just sought to stone thee; and goest thou again thither.
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 said to them: Are there not twelve hours in the day? And if a man walk in the daytime, he stumbleth not; because he seeth the light of the world.
10 Tedae pakhat loh khoyin ah a pongpa atah anih ah vangnah a om pawt dongah a tongtah,” a ti nah.
But if one 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 Jesus, and afterwards he said to them: Lazarus our friend reposeth. But I go to awake him.
12 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, a ih atah daem bitni,” a ti na uh.
His disciples say to him: Our Lord, if he sleepeth, he is recovering.
13 Jesuh loh anih kah dueknah kawng a thui. Tedae amih loh aka ip kah duemnah kawng a thui la a poek uh.
But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought, he spoke of the sleep of repose.
14 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah sayalh la, “Lazarus duek coeng.
Then Jesus said to them explicitly; 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 rejoice, for your sakes, that I was not there; that ye may believe. But let us go there.
16 Te dongah Didymus la a khue hnukbang Thomas loh, “Amah taengah duek puei ham mamih khaw cet uh sih,” a ti.
Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go and die with him.
17 Jesuh a pha vaengah anih te hlan khuiah hnin li a om coeng te a hmuh.
And Jesus came to Bethany, and found that he had been in the grave four days.
18 Bethany te Jerusalem phatom kah phalong hlainga tluk a hla ah om.
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, distant from it about fifteen furlongs.
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek khaw Martha neh Mary te a nganpa kongah suem hamla muep pawk uh.
And many of the Jews had come 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.
And Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Te vaengah Martha loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek pawt sue.
And Martha said to Jesus: My 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 even now, I know, that whatever thou wilt ask of God, he will give it thee.
23 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na nganpa te thoo bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her: Thy brother will rise.
24 Martha loh, “Hnukkhueng khohnin kah thohkoepnah dongah thoo ni tila ka ming ta,” a ti nah.
Martha said to him: I know, that he will rise in the consolation, 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 the consolation, and life. And he that believeth in me, though he should die, will 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 every one that liveth, and believeth in me, will not die for ever. 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 said to him: Yes, my Lord; I believe, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, that cometh 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 thus said, she went and called her sister Mary, secretly, and said to her: Our Rabbi hath come, and calleth for thee.
29 Te loh a yaak vaengah hlat thoo tih Jesuh taengla cet.
And Mary, when she heard it, rose up quickly, and went to meet him.
30 Te vaengah kho khuila Jesuh ham pha hlan dae Martha loh a doe nah hmuen ah om pueng.
And Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the 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.
Those Jews also, who were with her in the house and consoled her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed after her; for they supposed, she was going to the grave to weep.
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.
And Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, and said to him: If thou hadst been here, my Lord, 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.
And when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was moved in spirit, and was agitated.
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 he said: Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Our Lord, come, and see.
35 Jesuh tah mikphi bo.
And the tears of Jesus came.
36 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Lazarus bahoeng a lungnah ke,” a ti uh.
And the Jews said: See, how much 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 he who opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that this also 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.
And Jesus, still agitated within, came to the grave. Now the grave was a cave, and a stone was laid upon its entrance.
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.
And Jesus said: Take away this stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: My Lord, by this time he is putrid; for four days have elapsed.
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 tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst 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.
And they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes on high, 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 know that thou hearest me always; but on account of this multitude that standeth here, I say these things; 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 had thus spoken, he called 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 the dead man came forth, with his hands and his feet swathed with bandages, and his face with a napkin. Jesus said to 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.
And many of the Jews who had come to Mary, when they saw what 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 to the Pharisees, and told them all that 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?
And the chief priests and Pharisees assembled together, and said: What shall we do? For this man worketh many 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.
And if we thus let him alone, all the people will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will 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, named Caiaphas, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them: Ye know not any thing.
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.
Neither do ye consider, that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and not that this whole people perish.
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.
This he said, however, not from the promptings of his own mind; but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the people:
52 Te phoeiah namtom ham bueng pawt tih taekyak tangtae Pathen ca rhoek te khaw pakhat la coicip ham pawn ni.
and not only for the people, but also that he might collect together the sons of God that were dispersed.
53 Te dongah te khohnin lamloh amah te ngawn ham a moeh uh.
And from that day, they plotted to kill him.
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.
And Jesus did not walk openly among the Jews; but retired from them to a place near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he abode 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 passover of the Jews drew near: and many went up from the villages to Jerusalem, before the feast, that they might 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.
And they sought for Jesus; and they said one to another, 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.
And the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known to them, that they might take him.
