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.
This one 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 there was not one thing made that has been made.
4 Anih tah hing tih a khuiah hingnah om. Tekah hingnah te khaw hlang kah vangnah la om.
In him was 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.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
6 Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang tueih, a ming ah Johan te phoe.
There was a man who was 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 testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Anih te vangnah la om pawt dae vangnah kawng aka phong ham ni.
John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
9 Vangnah taktak tah om. Te tah hlang boeih aka tue ham Diklai la ha pawk.
The true light, which gives light to all men, 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 did not know him.
11 Amah rhoek taengah a pawk pah dae, amah rhoek loh anih te doe uh pawh.
He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
12 Tedae anih aka doe boeih neh, anih ming te aka tangnah rhoek tah Pathen ca la om ham saithainah a paek coeng.
But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
13 Amih tah thii kah, pumsa huengaihnah nen moenih, hlang kah huengaihnah nen moenih, tedae Pathen kah a cun rhoek ni.
These were not born 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.
The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
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 testified about him and cried out, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
16 A soepnah lamloh lungvatnah sokah lungvatnah khaw mamih loh boeih n'dang uh coeng.
For from his fullness we have all received grace after 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 has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has 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.
This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Te vaengah a phong tih a basa moenih. Te dongah, “Kai tah Khrih moenih, “tila a phong.
He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”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.
So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you the prophet?” 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.
Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
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, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek taengah aka om rhoek te a tueih uh.
Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
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 do you baptize then if you are 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 with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
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 is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
28 He rhoek he tah Jordan rhalvangan kah Bethany ah om. Te rhoek ah Johan loh a nuem khaw om coeng.
These things were done in Bethany on the other side of 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 John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is the Lamb of God, who takes 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 the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than 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.
I did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with 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.
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed 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.
I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Kai loh ka hmuh coeng dongah Pathen capa tah anih ni tite ka phong coeng.
I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 A vuen ah Johan neh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit tah koep pai,
Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Jesuh a caeh te a sawt doeah, “Pathen kah tuca ke,” a ti nah.
they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Te vaengah hnukbang panit loh anih kah a thui te a yaak rhoi tih Jesuh a vai rhoi.
His two disciples heard him say this 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.
Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “Rabbi (which translated means teacher), where are you staying?”
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 said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for 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 John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
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 found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: 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, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
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.
The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Philip tah Peter neh Andrew kah a kho Bethsaida lamkah ni.
Now Philip was from 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 found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from 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.
Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said 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 Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
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.
Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael loh Jesuh te, “Rhabbi, nang tah Pathen capa ni, namah tah Israel manghai ni,” a ti nah.
Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are 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 replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
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.
Then he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
