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 sick. He was from Bethany, the village 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 Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh 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.
The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, “Lord, see, he whom you love 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 it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
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.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
7 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te, “Judea la koep cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea 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, “Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are 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.
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by 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.
However, if he walks at night, he will stumble 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.
He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep.”
12 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, a ih atah daem bitni,” a ti na uh.
The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Jesuh loh anih kah dueknah kawng a thui. Tedae amih loh aka ip kah duemnah kawng a thui la a poek uh.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
14 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah sayalh la, “Lazarus duek coeng.
Then Jesus said to 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.
I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. 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.
Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”
17 Jesuh a pha vaengah anih te hlan khuiah hnin li a om coeng te a hmuh.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 Bethany te Jerusalem phatom kah phalong hlainga tluk a hla ah om.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek khaw Martha neh Mary te a nganpa kongah suem hamla muep pawk uh.
Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them 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.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went 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.
Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Tedae tahae pataeng Pathen taengah na bih te tah Pathen loh nang m'paek ni tila ka ming,” a ti nah.
Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
23 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na nganpa te thoo bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
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 again in the resurrection on 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 resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, 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 whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe 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, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming 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.
When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 Te loh a yaak vaengah hlat thoo tih Jesuh taengla cet.
When she heard this, she 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 yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had 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.
So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb 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.
When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have 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 saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his 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.
he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to 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 the Jews said, “See how much he loved Lazarus!”
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, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?”
38 Te dongah Jesuh tah a khuiah thanueih tih hlan la koep ha pawk. Tedae hlan te lungko la om tih lungto khoep yalh.
Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against 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 away the stone.” Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, “Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for 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 believed, 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. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to 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 knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
43 Te phoeiah ol ue neh pang tih, “Lazarus. pawk ha cu,” a ti nah.
After he had said this, he cried out with 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.
The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie 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 who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed 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 away to the Pharisees and told them the things 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?
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does 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.
If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both 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.
However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.
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 consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”
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.
Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die 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 only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
53 Te dongah te khohnin lamloh amah te ngawn ham a moeh uh.
So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus 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.
No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed 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 many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order 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.
They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?”
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 an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might seize him.
