Johan 1
1 A tongcuek ah Ol om tih ol tah Pathen neh om. Te dongah ol tah Pathen ni.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Anih tah a tongcuek ah Pathen neh om.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 A cungkuem he anih rhangneh om tih anih pawt atah khat khaw om thai pawh.
All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
4 Anih tah hing tih a khuiah hingnah om. Tekah hingnah te khaw hlang kah vangnah la om.
In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
5 Te phoeiah vangnah tah a hmuep khuiah sae tih a hmuep loh anih buem pawh.
And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
6 Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang tueih, a ming ah Johan te phoe.
There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Anih tah vangnah kawng te laipai ham, anih rhangneh hlang boeih loh a tangnah ham laipai la ha pawk.
He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
8 Anih te vangnah la om pawt dae vangnah kawng aka phong ham ni.
He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
9 Vangnah taktak tah om. Te tah hlang boeih aka tue ham Diklai la ha pawk.
The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
10 Diklai ah amah om tih anih rhangneh Diklai he om dae Diklai loh amah te ming pawh.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 Amah rhoek taengah a pawk pah dae, amah rhoek loh anih te doe uh pawh.
He came to his own, and his own received him not.
12 Tedae anih aka doe boeih neh, anih ming te aka tangnah rhoek tah Pathen ca la om ham saithainah a paek coeng.
But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
13 Amih tah thii kah, pumsa huengaihnah nen moenih, hlang kah huengaihnah nen moenih, tedae Pathen kah a cun rhoek ni.
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Te phoeiah Ol tah pumsa la coeng tih mamih khuiah om. Te dongah a thangpomnah te m'hmuh uh. Te tah oltak neh lungvatnah aka bae Pa taeng lamkah khueh duen thangpomnah ni.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.
15 Johan loh anih kawng te a phong vaengah pang tih, “Kai hnukah aka pawk tah kai hmaiah om tih kai lakah lamhma la om'” ka ti te anih coeng ni,” a ti.
John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
16 A soepnah lamloh lungvatnah sokah lungvatnah khaw mamih loh boeih n'dang uh coeng.
For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
17 Moses lamloh olkhueng m'paek tih, lungvatnah neh oltak tah Khrih Jesuh lamloh ha thoeng.
For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Pathen te ana hmuh noek moenih, a napa kah rhang dongah aka om Pathen kah khueh duen amah tah tueng coeng.
No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
19 Jerusalem kah Judah rhoek loh khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te Johan taengah a tueih uh tih, “Nang ulae?” tila a dawt uh. Te vaengah Johan kah a phong tah he coeng ni.
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Te vaengah a phong tih a basa moenih. Te dongah, “Kai tah Khrih moenih, “tila a phong.
And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
21 Te vaengah amah te, “Te koinih ulae? Nang Elijah a?” a ti nauh. Tedae, “Kai moenih,” a ti nah. Nang te tonghma nim ca? a ti nah vaengah, “Moenih,” a ti nah.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Te dongah amah te, “U nim ca? kaimih aka tueih rhoek taengah ollannah ka paek uh hamla namah kawng te metlam na thui eh?” a ti nauh.
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
23 Te daengah, “Kai tah tonghma Isaiah loh a thui bangla 'Boeipa kah longpuei te dueng uh laeh' tila khosoek ah aka pang ol ni,” a ti nah.
He said, I am “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek taengah aka om rhoek te a tueih uh.
And they were sent from the Pharisees;
25 Te vaengah amah a dawt uh tih, “Khrih la na om pawt atah balae tih na nuem? Nang te Elijah moenih, tonghma bal moenih,” a ti uh.
and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
26 Johan loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai loh tui ah kan nuem. Nangmih lakli ah aka pai te na hmat uh moenih.
John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
27 Anih te kai hnukah ha pawk dae a khokhom rhui ka hlam ham pataeng a koihhilh la ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
28 He rhoek he tah Jordan rhalvangan kah Bethany ah om. Te rhoek ah Johan loh a nuem khaw om coeng.
These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 A vuenhnin ah a taengla Jesuh ha pawk te a hmuh tih, “Pathen kah tuca ke, anih loh Diklai kah tholhnah te a phueih.
The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!
30 Kai loh, 'Kai hnukah aka pawk hlang tah kai hmaiah om coeng, kai lakah lamhma la a om dongah,’ ka ti te tah amah coeng ni.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
31 Kai khaw amah he kana ming pawh. Tedae Israel taengah a tueng ham dongah ni amah ha pawk vaengah kai loh tui ah ka nuem,” a ti.
And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
32 Te phoeiah Johan loh a phong tih, “Mueihla tah vahu bangla vaan lamkah ha rhum tih anih soah a om te ka hmuh coeng,” a ti.
And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
33 Amah te ka hmat moenih. Tedae tui ah nuem ham kai aka tueih loh kai taengah, “A soah mueihla rhum tih a om thil te na hmuh. Anih tah Mueihla Cim dongah aka nuem la om,” a ti.
And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
34 Kai loh ka hmuh coeng dongah Pathen capa tah anih ni tite ka phong coeng.
And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
35 A vuen ah Johan neh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit tah koep pai,
On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
36 Jesuh a caeh te a sawt doeah, “Pathen kah tuca ke,” a ti nah.
and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 Te vaengah hnukbang panit loh anih kah a thui te a yaak rhoi tih Jesuh a vai rhoi.
The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jesuh te a mael vaegah amih rhoi a vai rhoi te a hmuh tih, “Balae na mae?” a ti nah. Te rhoi long khaw amah te, “Rhabbi, “Te tah saya ni a thuingaih a ti, melam na naeh?” a ti na rhoi.
Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
39 Amih rhoi te, “Ha lo lamtah so rhoi lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah cet rhoi tih a rhaeh nah te a hmuh rhoi. Tedae khonoek parha tluk a lo coeng dongah tekah khohnin ah tah amah taengah rhaeh rhoi.
He saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
40 Johan taengkah a yaak rhoi khuikah pakhat tah Simon Peter kah a manuca Andrew khaw om tih amah a vai rhoi.
One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Te long tah a maya Simon te a hmuh vaengah lamhma la, “Messiah Te tah Khrih ni a thuingaih, ka hmuh rhoi coeng,” a ti nah.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
42 Anih te Jesuh taengah a khuen tih amah a hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nang tah Johan capa Simon ni, nang he Kephas (Te tah Peter tila a thuingaih) la n' khue ni,” a ti nah.
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
43 A vuen ah Galilee la caeh hamla a ngaih. Te vaengah Philip a hmuh tih Jesuh loh anih te, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah.
On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
44 Philip tah Peter neh Andrew kah a kho Bethsaida lamkah ni.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip loh Nathanael te a hmuh vaengah a taengah, “Moses neh tonghma rhoek loh Olkhueng khuiah a daek, Nazareth kah Joseph capa Jesuh te ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nah.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
46 Te vaengah Nathanael loh Philip taengah, “Nazareth lamkah a then khat khaw om thai a?” a ti nah. Philip loh amah te, “Halo lamtah so lah,” a ti nah.
And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
47 Jesuh loh amah taengah Nathanael ha pawk te a hmuh vaengah, “Israel taktak la ke anih dongah tuengkhuepnah om pawh,” tila anih te a thui.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael loh, “Metlam kai nan ming?” a ti nah vaengah amah te Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Philip loh nang te n'khue tom kah, thaibu hmuiah na om vaengah ni nang kan hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
Nathanael saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael loh Jesuh te, “Rhabbi, nang tah Pathen capa ni, namah tah Israel manghai ni,” a ti nah.
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
50 Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih a doo tih, “Thaibu hmuiah nang kan hmuh te nang taengah kan thui dongah na tangnah nama? A tanglue rhoek te na hmuh bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 Te phoeiah anih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, vaan te ong uh vetih Pathen kah puencawn rhoek loh hlang capa a rhum thil neh a luei tak te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
And he saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
