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 paanuh. Te dongah ngol tih amih te a thuituen.
And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
3 Te vaengah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh huta pakhat te a samphaihnah neh a tuuk uh tih a khuen uh.
And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
4 Anih te a laklung ah a pai sak uh phoeiah, Jesuh te, “Saya, hekah huta he a samphaih li vaengah ka tuuk uh.
tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the 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 nauh.
Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou 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.
But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
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.
And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
8 Te phoeiah koep buluk tih lai ah a daek.
And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
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.
And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
10 Te vaengah Jesuh te pai tih, “Huta, melam a om uh? nang m'boe sak moenih nama?” a ti nah.
And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
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.
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth 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 would, no, 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 nauh.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy 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 and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
15 Nangmih loh pumsa neh lai na tloekuh. Kai tah ukhaw lai ka tloek moenih.
Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
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.
But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 Olkhueng dongah khaw nangmih ah hlang panit kah olphong te thuem tila a daek coeng.
And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men 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 he 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 nauh. 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 thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known 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 sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized 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 therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot 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 go, ye cannot 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.
And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye 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 ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
25 Te dongah amah te, “Nang ulae,” a ti nauh. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Pakhat khaw a tongcuek ah nangmih ham kan thui van te ta?
They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
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 say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
27 Amih taengah Pa kah a thui tila ming uh pawh.
They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
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 ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
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.
And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
30 Hekah a thui vanbangla amah te muep a tangnah uh.
As he spoke these things of him, 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 believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
32 Oltak te na ming uh van daengah ni oltak loh nangmih n'loeih sak eh,” a ti nah.
and ye 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 nauh.
They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become 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, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
36 Te dongah capa loh nangmih n'loeih sak atah aka loeih la rhep na om uh ni.
If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
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 ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has 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 speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from 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 and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye 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 ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 Nangmih loh na pa bisai te na saii uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Kaimih he Cukhalnah kah a sak moenih. A pa pakhat Pathen ka khueh uh,” a ti uh.
Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. 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, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for 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 do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Na pa lamkah rhaithae la na om uh rhoe tih na pa kah hoehhamnah te saii ham na ngaihuh. 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.
Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Tedae kai loh oltak ka thui dongah kai nan tangnah uh pawh.
And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not 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 about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye 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 sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye 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 nauh.
Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou 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 baiuh.
Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 Kai loh kamah thangpomnah ka mae moenih. Tedae aka toem tih lai aka tloek te om ngawn.
But I seek not my own glory. He is 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)
Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (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)
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (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 nauh.
Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
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. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, 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.
And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do 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 that he could see my day, and 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 nauh.
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have 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, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, 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 so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
