Johan 7
1 Te phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik pongpa. Amah te Judah rhoek loh ngawn ham a mae uh dongah Judea ah caeh ham ngaih pawh.
After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Tedae Judah rhoek kah dungtlung khotue om tom coeng.
Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
3 Te dongah a mana rhoek loh amah te, “He lamloh thoeih lamtah Judea la cet laeh, te daengah ni nang kah na saii bibi te na hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh van eh.
His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
4 A huep la a saii vaengah amah te sayalhnah neh om ham aka tlap pakhat khaw a om moenih. He rhoek na saii mai vetih Diklai ah na phoe mai mako,” a ti nauh.
For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
5 A manuca rhoek long khaw amah te a tangnah uh moenih.
For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
6 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai kah a tue tah ha pai hlan, dae nangmih kah a tue tah sikim la vawp vawp om.
Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet thai mahpawh, tedae kai tah a khoboe thae a khueh kawng te ka phong dongah m'hmuhuet.
The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 Nangmih tah khotue la cetuh. Kai tah hekah khotue la ka cet mahpawh, kai kah a tue tah soep hlan,” a ti nah.
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
9 He rhoek he a thui phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik naeh.
Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
10 Tedae A mana rhoek tah khotue la a caeh uh phoeiah tah amah khaw koep cet. Tedae a huep la duem om tih loloh moe pawh.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 Khotue vaengah Judah rhoek loh Jesuh te a toem uh tih, “Anih te melam a om?” a ti uh.
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
12 Te dongah anih kawngte hlangping kohuetnah la muep om uh. A ngen loh, “Hlang then ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Pawh, hlangping te a rhaithi coeng,” a ti uh.
There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
13 Tedae Judah rhoek a rhihnah dongah a kawng te sayalh la thui pawh.
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Tedae khotue bangli vaengah Jesuh te bawkim la cet tih a thuituen.
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 Te dongah Judah rhoek tah a ngaihmang uh tih, “He long he a cang muehla metlam ca a ming?” a ti uh.
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
16 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai kah thuituennah tah kamah kah pawt tih kai aka tueih kah ni.
Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 Khat khat loh a kongaih te saii ham a ngaih atah thuituennah he Pathen lamkah a? Kai kamah lamkah a ka thui? tite a ming ni.
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
18 Amah lamkah aka thui loh amah thangpomnah te a toem. Tedae anih aka tueih kah thangpomnah aka toem long tah, a thuem la a om dongah anih ah boethae om pawh.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Moses loh nangmih te olkhueng m'paek moenih a? Tedae nangmih olkhueng aka vai pawt loh balae tih kai ngawn ham nan mae uh?” a ti nah.
Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20 Hlangping long khaw, “Rhaithae na kaem, nang ngawn ham aka mae te unim,” a ti nah.
The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Bibi pakhat ka saii hatah boeih na ngaihmang uh.
Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
22 Moses loh nangmih te yahvinrhetnah ham m'paek. Te te Moses kah moenih a pa rhoek kah ni. Te dongah Sabbath ah hlang kah yahvin na rhet uh.
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
23 Yahvinrhetnah he hlang loh Sabath ah a dang vaengah Moses kah olkhueng te a phae pawt atah Sabath ah hlang pum pakhat sading la ka khueh dongah nim kai taengah na thin a toek uh?
If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24 A hmanhu ah laitloek uh boeh. Tedae laitloeknah he a dueng la laitloek uh,” a ti nah.
Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
25 Te dongah Jerusalem kah a ngen loh, “Ngawn ham a toem uh te anih pawt nim?
Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
26 sayalh la a thui dae amah tah a voek uh moenih ca he. Anih he Khrih ni tila boei rhoek loh rhep a ming uh nim?
Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
27 Te dongah anih he me lamkah ha thoeng khaw m'ming. Tedae Khrih halo vaengkah tah me lamkah a thoeng khaw, a mingpha moenih,” a ti uh.
However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Te dongah Jesuh loh bawkim khuiah a thuituen vaengah pang tih, “Kai nan ming uh tih me lamkah ka thoeng khaw na minguh. Kamah lamkah ka lo moenih. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak ni. Anih te na ming uh moenih.
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
29 Kai loh amah te ka ming. Amah taengah ka om tih te long te kai n'tueih,” a ti nah.
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 Te dongah amah tuuk ham a mae uh dae a tue te a pai hlan dongah anih te kut hlah uh thil pawh.
They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Tedae hlangping lamkah a yet loh amah te a tangnah tih, “Khrih ha lo vaengkah anih kah a saii lakah miknoek khaw muep saii mahpawt a?” a ti uh.
But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
32 Anih kawng neh hlangping kah a kohuet te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te dongah anih tuuk ham tueihyoeih rhoek te khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh a tueih uh.
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah a tue kolkalh ni ka om pueng vetih kai aka tueih taengla ka cet ni.
Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34 Kai nan toem uh vaengah kamah nan hmu uh mahpawh. Te vaengah ka om nah khaw nam pha uh thai mahpawh,” a ti nah.
You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
35 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amamih te, “He he mela caeh ham nim a cai tih mamih loh anih m'hmuh pawt eh? Greek kah canglak mupoe taengah cet la cai pawt nim? Greek rhoek te thuituen ham nim?
The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36 Kai he nan toem uh cakhaw kai na hmu uh mahpawh. Te dongah ka om nah khaw na pha uh thai pawh,’ a ti te mebang ol nim te,” a ti uh.
What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
37 Khotue tung kah hnukkhueng khohnin ah Jesuh te pai tih a pang doela, “Khat khat loh tui a hal atah kai taengah ha lo saeh lamtah o saeh.
Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
38 Cacim loh a thui bangla, kai aka tangnah tah a bung khui lamkah tuiva te tui hing la long ni,” a ti.
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
39 Tedae amah aka tangnah rhoek loh a dang ham Mueihla kawng te a thui. Jesuh a thangpom hlan dongah Mueihla tah ana pae hlan.
But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
40 Te dongah hekah olka he hlangping lamkah a yaak uh, “Anih tah tonghma tangtang ni,” a ti uh.
Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
41 A ngen loh, “Anih he Khrih ni,” a ti uh. Tedae a ngen loh, “Galilee lamkah Khrih thoeng mahnim.
Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Cacim loh, 'David tiingan lamkah neh David a om nah Bethlehem kho lamkah ni Khrih ha pawk eh?,’ a ti moenih a?” a ti uh.
Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
43 Tedae anih kongah hlangping te paekboenah om.
So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
44 Amih khuikah a ngen loh amah te tuuk ham a ngaih uh. Tedae anih soah kut hlah uh pawh.
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 Te vaengah tueihyoeih rhoek te khosoihham neh Pharisee rhoek taengla ha pawk uh. Te rhoek loh amih taengah, “Balae tih anih te nan khuen uh pawh?” a ti nahuh.
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 Tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Hlang bangla cal pawh,” a ti nauh.
The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek loh amih te, “Nangmih khaw n'rhaithi uh pawn pawt nim?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
48 Boei rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek khuikah khat khat loh anih te tangnah pawt nim?
Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 Tedae hlangping loh olkhueng a ming pawt te rhunkhuen la poeh,” a ti uh.
But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
50 Amih taengah om tih hnukbuet ah Jesuh taengla aka pawk Nikodemu loh amih taengah,
Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
51 “A saii te amah lamloh lamhma la a yaak tih a ming pawt atah hlang te mamih kah olkhueng loh laitloek thil pawt maco?” a ti nah.
“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang khaw Galilee lamkah pawt nim? Galilee lamkah tonghma a thoeng noek pawt te khe lamtah ming saw,” a ti nauh.
They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
53 Te phoeiah amah im la rhip cet uh.
Everyone went to his own house,
