Johan 8
1 Tedae Jesuh tah olive tlang la cet.
but Jesus went to the Mount 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.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
3 Te vaengah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh huta pakhat te a samphaihnah neh a tuuk uh tih a khuen uh.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4 Anih te a laklung ah a pai sak uh phoeiah, Jesuh te, “Saya, hekah huta he a samphaih li vaengah ka tuuk uh.
they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
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 our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
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, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground 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 continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin amongst you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
8 Te phoeiah koep buluk tih lai ah a daek.
Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.
They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 Te vaengah Jesuh te pai tih, “Huta, melam a om uh? nang m'boe sak moenih nama?” a ti nah.
Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn 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.
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
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.
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, 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.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
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 answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 Nangmih loh pumsa neh lai na tloek uh. Kai tah ukhaw lai ka tloek moenih.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
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 do judge, my judgement is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Olkhueng dongah khaw nangmih ah hlang panit kah olphong te thuem tila a daek coeng.
It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
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 am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies 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.
They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
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 spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet 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.
Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”
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.
The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t 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.
He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. 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.
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die 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?
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
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 many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
27 Amih taengah Pa kah a thui tila ming uh pawh.
They didn’t understand that he spoke to them 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.
Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
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. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
30 Hekah a thui vanbangla amah te muep a tangnah uh.
As he spoke these things, many believed 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.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in 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.
You will know the truth, and the truth 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 answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34 Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, tholh aka saii boeih tah tholh kah sal la om.
Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Te dongah capa loh nangmih n'loeih sak atah aka loeih la rhep na om uh ni.
If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
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 know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds 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 with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
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.
They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
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 seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
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 do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, 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.
Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t 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 don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
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 of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 Tedae kai loh oltak ka thui dongah kai nan tangnah uh pawh.
But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
46 Nangmih ah unim kai kah tholh aka toeltham? Oltak ka thui atah balae tih kai nan tangnah uh pawh?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe 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 of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of 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.
Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Jesuh loh, “Rhaithae ka kaem moenih, a pa te ni ka hinyah dae nangmih loh kai yah nan bai uh.
Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.
50 Kai loh kamah thangpomnah ka mae moenih. Tedae aka toem tih lai aka tloek te om ngawn.
But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
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)
Most certainly, I tell you, if a person 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)
Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of 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 died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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 answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our 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 not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and 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 rejoiced to see 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.
The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet 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, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
59 Te vaengah amah te dae ham lungto a rhuh uh. Tedae Jesuh loh a thuh tak tih bawkim lamkah vik cet.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
