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 resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
2 Tedae Judah rhoek kah dungtlung khotue om tom coeng.
Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;
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 brethren therefore said, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.
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 man doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known to the world.
5 A manuca rhoek long khaw amah te a tangnah uh moenih.
For neither did his brethren 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.
Then saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you:
7 Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet thai mahpawh, tedae kai tah a khoboe thae a khueh kawng te ka phong dongah m'hmuhuet.
but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds 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.
Go ye up to this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come.
9 He rhoek he a thui phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik naeh.
And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while 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 brethren were gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not in a public manner but as it were in private.
11 Khotue vaengah Judah rhoek loh Jesuh te a toem uh tih, “Anih te melam a om?” a ti uh.
The Jews therefore sought for 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.
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man; others said, No: He deceiveth the people.
13 Tedae Judah rhoek a rhihnah dongah a kawng te sayalh la thui pawh.
No one however spake openly in favor 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 about 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.
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
16 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai kah thuituennah tah kamah kah pawt tih kai aka tueih kah ni.
Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach is not mine, but his that 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 any man desire to do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of 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, that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent him is true, and there is no imposture 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.
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you observeth the law? wherefore else do ye seek to kill me?
20 Hlangping long khaw, “Rhaithae na kaem, nang ngawn ham aka mae te unim,” a ti nah.
The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Bibi pakhat ka saii hatah boeih na ngaihmang uh.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at 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.
Now Moses gave you the law of circumcision, (not that it is originally from Moses, but from the patriarchs, ) and ye circumcise even on the sabbath:
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 then a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry with me, because I made a man perfectly well on the sabbath-day?
24 A hmanhu ah laitloek uh boeh. Tedae laitloeknah he a dueng la laitloek uh,” a ti nah.
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
25 Te dongah Jerusalem kah a ngen loh, “Ngawn ham a toem uh te anih pawt nim?
Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
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?
and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?
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.
But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
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, Ye both know me, ye say, and ye know whence I am: now I am not come of myself, but He that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 Kai loh amah te ka ming. Amah taengah ka om tih te long te kai n'tueih,” a ti nah.
But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He hath 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 seize Him, but no one laid hand on Him, because his hour was 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.
And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?
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.
Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
33 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah a tue kolkalh ni ka om pueng vetih kai aka tueih taengla ka cet ni.
Therefore Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I am to be among you, and then I shall go to Him that 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.
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
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?
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go to them that are dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
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 the meaning of this speech, that He said, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot 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.
And on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come unto 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 that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
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.
(This He spake of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive; for the holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Te dongah hekah olka he hlangping lamkah a yaak uh, “Anih tah tonghma tangtang ni,” a ti uh.
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this discourse, said, This is in truth a 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 Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah 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.
Hath not the Scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence David was.
43 Tedae anih kongah hlangping te paekboenah om.
So there was a division among the people about Him.
44 Amih khuikah a ngen loh amah te tuuk ham a ngaih uh. Tedae anih soah kut hlah uh pawh.
And some among them would have seized 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.
Then came the officers to the chief priests and pharisees, and they said, Why have ye not brought Him? and the officers answered,
46 Tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Hlang bangla cal pawh,” a ti nauh.
Never man spake like this man.
47 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek loh amih te, “Nangmih khaw n'rhaithi uh pawn pawt nim?
The pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Boei rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek khuikah khat khat loh anih te tangnah pawt nim?
have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
49 Tedae hlangping loh olkhueng a ming pawt te rhunkhuen la poeh,” a ti uh.
but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
50 Amih taengah om tih hnukbuet ah Jesuh taengla aka pawk Nikodemu loh amih taengah,
Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
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.
being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?
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 replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 Te phoeiah amah im la rhip cet uh.
And every man went to his own house.
