Johan 8
1 Tedae Jesuh tah olive tlang la cet.
But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.
2 Mincang ah bawkim la koep ha pawk hatah pilnam pum loh a taengla a paan uh. Te dongah ngol tih amih te a thuituen.
And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.
3 Te vaengah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh huta pakhat te a samphaihnah neh a tuuk uh tih a khuen uh.
Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;
4 Anih te a laklung ah a pai sak uh phoeiah, Jesuh te, “Saya, hekah huta he a samphaih li vaengah ka tuuk uh.
And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.
5 Tedae olkhueng dongah tah hebang he dae hamla Moses loh mamih n'uen coeng. Te koinih nang tah metlae na ti eh?” a ti na uh.
Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?
6 Tedae he nen he amah paelnaeh ham a khueh uh dongah a noemcai uh tih a voek uh. Te dongah Jesuh loh buluk thuk tih kutdawn neh lai ah a daek.
They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.
7 Tedae amah te koepkoep a dawt uh vaengah pai tih amih te, “Nangmih khuikah aka tholh mueh loh anih te lamhma la lungto neh dae saeh,” a ti nah.
But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.
8 Te phoeiah koep buluk tih lai ah a daek.
And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.
9 A yaak uh vaengah patong lamkah a tong tih pakhat pakhat ah boeih cet uh. Te dongah Jesuh neh a laklung kah aka om huta bueng la cul.
And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.
10 Te vaengah Jesuh te pai tih, “Huta, melam a om uh? nang m'boe sak moenih nama?” a ti nah.
Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?
11 Te dongah te long te, “Boeipa, om pawh ue,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai khaw nang kan boe sak moenih. Cet lamtah tahae lamkah tholh voel boeh,” a ti nah.
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]
12 Te phoeiah Jesuh te amih taengah koep cal tih, “Kai tah diklai kah vangnah ni. Kai aka vai rhoek tah a hmuep ah pongpa voel pawt vetih hingnah hmaivang te a khueh ni,” a ti nah.
Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.
13 Te dongah amah te Pharisee rhoek loh, “Nang loh namah kawng ni na phong, na olphong te oltak om pawh,” a ti na uh.
So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true.
14 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai loh kamah kawng ka phong cakhaw kai kah olphong te oltak la om. Me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw ka ming. Tedae nangmih loh me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw na ming uh pawh.
Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.
15 Nangmih loh pumsa neh lai na tloek uh. Kai tah ukhaw lai ka tloek moenih.
You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.
16 Tedae lai ka tloek van coeng atah kamah bueng ka om pawt tih kai aka tueih a pa neh kai ka om rhoi dongah kai kah laitloeknah tah a thuem la om pataeng.
Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself — with me is the Father who sent me.
17 Olkhueng dongah khaw nangmih ah hlang panit kah olphong te thuem tila a daek coeng.
Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.
18 Kai loh kamah kawng aka phong la ka om dae kai aka tueih a pa loh kai kawng a phong,” a ti nah.
I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.
19 Te dongah amah te, “Na pa te melam a om?” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh, “Kai nan ming uh pawt tih a pa khaw na ming uh pawh. Kai nan ming uh koinih a pa te khaw na ming uh ni,” a ti nah.
Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.
20 Bawkim ah a thuituen vaengah hekah ol he tangkabu kaepah a thui dae amah kah a tue a pha hlan dongah anih te tuu uh pawh.
Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.
21 Te dongah amih te, “Ka caeh vaengah kai nan toem uh cakhaw namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni. Mela ka caeh khaw nan pha uh ham coeng pawh,” koep a ti nah.
Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.
22 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Amah ngawn uh la cai pawt nim? ‘Mela ka caeh khaw na loh ham coeng pawh,’ a ti he,” a ti uh.
So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?
23 Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah a hmui lamkah ni. Kai tah a so lamkah ni. Nangmih tah he diklai lamkah ni. Kai tah he diklai lamkah ka om moenih.
And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Te dongah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui. Kai he amah ni tila na tangnah uh pawt atah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni,” a ti nah.
For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.
25 Te dongah amah te, “Nang ulae,” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Pakhat khaw a tongcuek ah nangmih ham kan thui van te ta?
Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.
26 Nangmih kawng te thui ham neh laitloek ham muep om. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak la om. Kai khaw anih taengkah ka yaak te ni diklai ah ka thui,” a ti nah.
I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.
27 Amih taengah Pa kah a thui tila ming uh pawh.
They did not see that his words were about the Father.
28 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Hlang capa te na pomsang uh daengah ni kai ni ti khaw, kamah lamkah ka saii pawt tih a pa loh kai n'thuituen vanbangla ka thui he khaw na ming uh eh.
So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.
29 Te dongah kai aka tueih te kai taengah om tih anih kolo te ka saii taitu dongah kamah bueng n'hlahpham moenih,” a ti nah.
He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.
30 Hekah a thui vanbangla amah te muep a tangnah uh.
When he said this a number came to have faith in him.
31 Te dongah Jesuh loh amah aka tangnah Judah rhoek taengah, “Kai kah olka ah na naeh atah kai kah hnukbang taktak la na om uh.
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;
32 Oltak te na ming uh van daengah ni oltak loh nangmih n'loeih sak eh,” a ti nah.
And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.
33 Te dongah Jesuh amah te, “Kaimih tah Abraham kah tiingan la ka om uh tih sal ka bi uh noek moenih. Metlam lae nang loh aka loeih la na om uh ni na ti?” a ti na uh.
They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?
34 Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, tholh aka saii boeih tah tholh kah sal la om.
And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.
Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does. (aiōn g165)
36 Te dongah capa loh nangmih n'loeih sak atah aka loeih la rhep na om uh ni.
If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.
37 Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh tila ka ming. Tedae kai kah olka he nangmih ah a om pawt dongah kai ngawn hamla nan mae uh.
I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.
38 Kai loh Pa taengkah ka hmuh te ka thui dae nangmih tah na pa taengkah na yaak uh te na saii uh,” a ti nah.
I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.
39 Te dongah Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Kaimih napa tah Abraham ni,” a ti uh. Jesuh loh amih te, “Abraham kah ca la na om uh koinih Abraham kah khoboe te na saii uh ni.
In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.
40 Tedae kai Pathen taeng lamkah oltak ka yaak tih nangmih taengah aka thui hlang te ngawn ham na mae uh coeng. Abraham loh he tlam he a saii moenih.
But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.
41 Nangmih loh na pa bisai te na saii uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Kaimih he cukhalhnah kah a sak moenih. A pa pakhat Pathen ka khueh uh,” a ti uh.
You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God.
42 Jesuh loh amih te, “Pathen te na pa la om koinih kai loh Pathen taeng lamkah ka lo tih ka pawk coeng dongah kai nan lungnah uh ham om. Kai kamah lamloh ka pawk pawt tih anih long ni kai n'tueih.
Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Ba dongah kai kah olcal te na ming uh pawh. Kai kah olka te hnatun ham na coeng uh pawt dongah ni.
Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching.
44 Na pa lamkah rhaithae la na om uh rhoe tih na pa kah hoehhamnah te saii ham na ngaih uh. Anih te a cuekca lamkah hlang aka ngawn ni. A khuiah oltak a om pawt dongah oltak ah pai pawh. Laithae neh laithae napa la om tih a cal vaengah a laithae te a phoe.
You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false.
45 Tedae kai loh oltak ka thui dongah kai nan tangnah uh pawh.
But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.
46 Nangmih ah unim kai kah tholh aka toeltham? Oltak ka thui atah balae tih kai nan tangnah uh pawh?
Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?
47 Pathen taeng lamkah aka om loh Pathen kah olka te a hnatun. Te dongah na hnatun uh pawt khaw Pathen kah hut la na om uh pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God.
48 Judah rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Nang he Samaria hlang ni, rhaithae na kaem tila ka thui uh te a thuem moenih a?” a ti na uh.
The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?
49 Jesuh loh, “Rhaithae ka kaem moenih, a pa te ni ka hinyah dae nangmih loh kai yah nan bai uh.
And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.
50 Kai loh kamah thangpomnah ka mae moenih. Tedae aka toem tih lai aka tloek te om ngawn.
I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.
51 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui. Khat khat loh kai ol a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah hmu loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Rhaithae na kaem te hnap ka ming uh. Abraham neh tonghma rhoek te duek coeng dae nang mai loh, ‘Khat khat loh kai ol te a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah ten voel mahpawh,’ na ti. (aiōn g165)
The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death. (aiōn g165)
53 A pa Abraham lakah tanglue la na om pawt nim? Anih khaw duek coeng, tonghma rhoek khaw duek uh coeng. Namah te u lam nim na ngai uh?” a ti na uh.
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are?
54 Jesuh loh, “Kai loh kamah ka thangpom koinih kai kah thangpomnah te a honghi la om ni. Kai aka thangpom tah a pa ni. Amah te nangmih loh, ‘Mamih kah Pathen ni,’ na ti uh.
Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.
55 Amah te na ming uh pawt cakhaw kai tah amah te ka ming. Amah ka ming pawt te ka thui koinih nangmih phek la laithae la ka om ni. Tedae amah te ka ming tih a ol te ka kuem coeng.
You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.
56 Na pa Abraham loh kai kah khohnin a hmuh ham te a kohoe tih a hmuh vaengah omngaih,” a ti nah.
Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad.
57 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Kum sawmnga na lo hlan dae Abraham na hmuh pawn a?” a ti na uh.
Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham?
58 Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, Abraham a om hlanah ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.
59 Te vaengah amah te dae ham lungto a rhuh uh. Tedae Jesuh loh a thuh tak tih bawkim lamkah vik cet.
So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.
