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.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he 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.
So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat 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.
Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and 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 Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 “Balae tih botui he denari yathum la a yoih vetih khodaeng rhoek a paek pawh?” a ti.
“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and 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.
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal 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.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this 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 don’t 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.
A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Tedae khosoihham rhoek loh Lazarus te khaw ngawn ham a moeh uh.
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death 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 went away and believed in Jesus.
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 a great multitude had come to the feast. When they 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 the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried 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.
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. 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.
“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, 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 didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things 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.
The multitude therefore that was 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.
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that 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.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish 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 certain 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 nauh.
Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want 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 came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Hlang capa thangpom ham a tue loh ha pai coeng.
Jesus answered them, “The time 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.
Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself 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)
He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to 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 serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. 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.
“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
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 your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both 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.
Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. 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 answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
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 prince 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 I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 Te vaengah a thui te a duek hamla a om dongah a dueknah ni a phoe coeng.
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should 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 nauh. (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you 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 pongpauh. A hmuep ah aka pongpa loh mela a caeh khaw ming pawh.
Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
36 Vangnah na khueh uh vaengah vangnah te tangnahuh. 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, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Amih hmaiah miknoek heyet a saii dae amah te tangnah uh pawh.
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t 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.
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Te nen te a tangnah uh thai moenih.
For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
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 eh,” koep a ti.
“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, 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 his glory, and spoke of 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, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t 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 men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44 Tedae Jesuh loh tamhoe tih, “Kai aka tangnah loh kai n'tangnah pawt dae kai aka tueih te ni a tangnah.
Jesus cried out and said, “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.
He who 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 as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the 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 listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not 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 doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in 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 spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
