Johan 12
1 Jesuh tah yoom hlankah a hnin rhuk dongah, Bethany la pawk coeng. Te ah te Jesuh loh duek lamkah a thoh Lazarus te khaw om.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, the man who had died and whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2 Te dongah anih ham hlaembuh pahoi a thong uh tih Martha te tokthuet. Lazarus tah Jesuh taengah aka vael pakhat la om van.
They prepared a supper for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of the people reclining at the table with him.
3 Te vaengah Mary loh a phu aka tlo nardo botui pound khat han khuen tih Jesuh kho te a hluk phoeiah a sam neh a huih. Te dongah im te botui kah a bo neh khuk bae.
Then Mary took a pound of expensive ointment made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Tedae a hnukbang pakhat, Jesuh yoih ham aka cai Judas Iskariot loh,
Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to betray him, said,
5 “Balae tih botui he denari yathum la a yoih vetih khodaeng rhoek a paek pawh?” a ti.
“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
6 Tedae anih te khodaeng ham a ngaihuet dongah pawt tih hlanghuen la a om neh, tangkacun ah a sang uh tih aka om te a yueh dongah ni a thui.
(He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was the keeper of the moneybag and would pilfer what was put into it.)
7 Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Anih he hlah ngawn, te daengah ni kai kah rhokhlak khohnin ham khaw a khoem eh.
So Jesus said, “Leave her alone; she has kept this ointment for the day of my burial.
8 Khodaeng te namamih taengah na khueh taitu dae kai tah nan khueh uh phueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.”
9 Anih a om tapkhoeh te Judah rhoek khuikah hlangping te yet loh a ming uh. Jesuh bueng kongah pawt tih duek lamkah aka thoo Lazarus te khaw hmuh ham ha lo uh.
Meanwhile a large crowd of the Jews found out that Jesus was there, so they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Tedae khosoihham rhoek loh Lazarus te khaw ngawn ham a moeh uh.
So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
11 Lazarus kongah Judah rhoek te muep a toeng uh tih Jesuh te a tangnah uh.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.
12 A vuen atah khotue la aka lo hlangping a yet loh Jerusalem la Jesuh ha pawk tila a yaak uh.
On the next day, when a large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Rhophoe kah a hlaeng te a loh uh tih amah doenah la cet uh. Te vaengah, “Hosanna, Boeipa ming neh aka pawk Israel manghai tah a yoethen coeng,” tila pang uh.
they took palm branches and went out to meet him. They were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 Jesuh loh muli-marhang ca te a hmuh tih a soah ngol.
Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, just as it is written,
15 “Zion canu birhih boeh, na manghai tah muli-marhang ca dongah ngol tih ha pawk coeng ke,” tila daek tangtae ana om rhoe pai.
“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, yoʋr king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt.”
16 Hekah he hnukbang rhoek loh a ming uh lamhma moenih. Tedae Jesuh a thangpom vaeng daengah ni anih ham ana om tih anih ham a saii uh tila a poek uh.
(His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things had been done to him.)
17 Te dongah Lazarus te hlan lamkah a khue tih duek lamkah anih a thoh vaengah Jesuh taengkah aka om hlangping loh ana phong uh coeng.
Now the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 Te dongah hlangping loh Jesuh a doe te khaw amah loh miknoek a saii te a yaak uh dongah ni.
That is why a crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had done this sign.
19 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek amamih te, “Khat khaw na phu uh pawt te so uh. Diklai loh anih hnuk a vai coeng ke,” a ti uh.
So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are achieving nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Tedae khotue ah bawk ham aka cet rhoek khuiah hlangvang tah Greek rhoek khaw om uh.
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Te dongah Galilee peng Bethsaida lamkah rhoek loh Philip te a paan uh. Te phoeiah anih te a dawt uh tih, “Boeipa, Jesuh te hmuh ham ka ngaih uh,” a ti na uh.
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Philip te cet tih Andrew taengah a thui. Te phoeiah Andrew neh Philip te ha lo rhoi tih Jesuh taengah a thui rhoi.
Philip went and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Hlang capa thangpom ham a tue loh ha pai coeng.
Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, cang ti te lai la tla tih a duek pawt atah amah bueng ni a cul. Tedae a duek atah cangvuei muep vuei.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Amah kah hinglu aka lungnah tah poci vetih he diklai ah amah kah hinglu aka hmuhuet loh dungyan hingnah ham te a ngaithuen ni. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Khat khat long ni kai n'bongyong atah kai m'vai vetih mela ka om akhaw kai kah tueihyoeih la pahoi om ni. khat khat long ni kai n'bongyong atah anih te a pa loh a hinyah ni.
If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”
27 Tahae ah ka hinglu loh hinghuen tih metlae ka ti eh? A pa tahae tue lamkah kai n'khang lah. Tedae te ham kongah tahae tue te kam paan coeng.
“My soul is now troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour.
28 Pa, na ming te thangpom lah,” a ti. Te vaengah vaan lamkah ol ha lo tih, “Ka thangpom coeng tih koep ka thangpom ni,” a ti.
Father, glorify yoʋr name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29 Te vaengkah aka pai tih aka ya hlangping loh, “Rhaek tla,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Puencawn loh anih a voek,” a ti uh.
When the crowd standing there heard the voice, they said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Hekah ol he kai ham pawt tih nangmih ham ni ha pawk.
Jesus responded, “This voice has come not for my sake, but for your sake.
31 Hekah diklai he laitloeknah om coeng. Hekah diklai boei tah phawn a thaek pawn ni.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 Kai khaw diklai lamkah n'tai atah kamah taengla hlang boeih ka doek ni,” a ti nah.
And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”
33 Te vaengah a thui te a duek hamla a om dongah a dueknah ni a phoe coeng.
(He said this to indicate the kind of death he was going to die.)
34 Te phoeiah hlangping loh amah te, “Khrih tah kumhal duela naeh tila olkhueng lamkah loh ka yaak uh. Tedae balae tih hlang capa te tai ham a kuek tila na thui? Tekah hlang capa te ulae?” a ti na uh. (aiōn g165)
The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, so how can yoʋ say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
35 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah vangnah a tue rhaih om pueng. Nangmih te a hmuep loh n'khuk pawt ham vangnah na khueh uh vaengah pongpa uh. A hmuep ah aka pongpa loh mela a caeh khaw ming pawh.
Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness will not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Vangnah na khueh uh vaengah vangnah te tangnah uh. Te daengah ni vangnah kah ca rhoek la na om uh eh,” a ti nah. Hekah he Jesuh loh a thui phoeiah amih taeng lamkah cet tih vik thuh uh.
While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you will become sons of light.” After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
37 Amih hmaiah miknoek he yet a saii dae amah te tangnah uh pawh.
Although he had done so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.
38 Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah kah olka loh, “Boeipa, kaimih kah olthang te unim aka tangnah, Boeipa kah a ban tah u taengah nim a pumphoe eh?” a ti te a soep eh.
This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Te nen te a tangnah uh thai moenih.
For this reason they could not believe, for again Isaiah said,
40 Te dongah Isaiah loh, “A mik te a dael sak tih, a thin a thah sak. Te daengah ni a mik neh hmu uh pawt vetih, thinko neh a yakming vaengah ha mael uh vetih amih ka hoeih sak ve,” koep a ti.
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.”
41 Isaiah loh a thangpomnah te a hmuh dongah hekah he a thui tih a kawng a thui.
Isaiah said these things when he saw the Lord's glory and spoke about him.
42 Temai akhaw, boei rhoek khuiah long pataeng amah te muep a tangnah uh. Tedae Pharisee rhoek kongah phoe uh pawh. Te daengah ni a hael la a om uh pawt eh.
Nevertheless, many even among the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not declare it openly, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
43 Amih loh Pathen kah thangpomnah lakah hlang kah thangpomnah te a lungnah uh ngai dongah ni.
For they loved the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from God.
44 Tedae Jesuh loh tamhoe tih, “Kai aka tangnah loh kai n'tangnah pawt dae kai aka tueih te ni a tangnah.
Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.
45 Kai aka hmuh long khaw kai aka tueih te a hmuh.
And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Kai tah diklai ah vangnah la ka lo. Te daengah ni kai aka tangnah long tah a hmuep ah a naeh pawt eh.
I have come into the world as light, so that no one who believes in me will remain in darkness.
47 Pakhat long khaw ka ol te a yaak lalah kuem pawt cakhaw kai loh anih lai ka tloek thil mahpawh. Diklai he laitloek thil ham pawt tih diklai khang ham ni ka pawk.
If anyone hears my words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Kai aka hnawt tih ka ol aka doe pawt loh laitloek kung te a khueh. Anih te ka thui ol loh a hnukkhueng khohnin ah lai a tloek bitni.
He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 Kai loh kamah lamkah ka thui moenih. Tedae ka cal ham neh ka thui ham te kai aka tueih a Pa amah loh kai taengah olpaek la m'paek coeng.
For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment as to what I should say and what I should speak.
