Johan 7
1 Cekcoengawh, Jesu taw Kalili qam kqang cet nawh, Judahkhqi ing him aham ami teng adawngawh Judah qam ce cehta hy.
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Cehlai Judahkhqi a hi im poei ce a zoe law awhtaw,
Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
3 Jesu a koeinaakhqi ing a venawh, “Ve a hun awhkawng Judah qam na na ceh kawp ti, na hubatkhqi ing kawpoek kyi ik-oeih na saikhqi ce ami huh naak aham.
His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.
4 U awm thlang kqeng a huh awh dang aham ak ngaih taw ik-oeih ang hyp na am sai khawi hy. Vemyih ik-oeihkhqi na sai hawh dawngawh namah ingkaw namah ce khawmdek thlangkhqi venawh huh qu sak,” tina uhy.
For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
5 A koeinaa nawnkhqi ingawm amah ce ap cangna uhy.
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 cedawngawh Jesu ing, “Kai aham a tym pha law hlan hy; nangmih aham taw a tym ve awm poepa hy.
Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
7 Khawmdek ing nangmih ce amni sawh nak khqi thai hy, cehlai ami them sai amak leekkhqi ce kak kqawn peek khqi camawh kai ni sawh na uhy.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
8 Nangmih mah poeikung na cet uh. Cehlai ka tym a pha hlan dawngawh kai taw ce a poei na cet hly hlan nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
9 Ce ak awi ak kqawn boeih coengawh Kalili awh ce awm hy.
Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
10 Cehlai a koeinaakhqi poei na ami ceh boeih coengawh, anih cet lawt hy, cehlai thlang a sim na am cet nawh ang hyp na cet hy.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Poei khuiawh Judahkhqi ing doen unawh sui uhy, “Hana nu ce ak thlang ce a awm hy voei?” ti uhy.
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
12 Thlang kqeng ak khuiawh anih akawng ce kqawn sap sap uhy. Thlang vang ing, “Thlak leek ni ka ti koe noek,” ti uhy. Ak chang tloek bai ingtaw, “Amni, thlang ni a thainaak hy,” ti uhy.
And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.
13 Cehlai Judahkhqi ce amik kqih awh u ingawm ang dang qoeng na anih akawng ce ap kqawn uhy.
No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
14 Poei a awm hui awh, Jesu ing bawkim na cet nawh thlang cawngpyi hy.
But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 Juda thlangkhqi aming ngaih kyi nawh, “Ve ak thlang ing ca am cawng loei nawh, hana kaw vemyih saithainaakkhqi a huh hy voei?” ti uhy.
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesu ing, “Ka cawngpyinaak ve kamah a koe amni. Kai anik tyikung a venawh kaw ni.
Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 U ingawm Khawsa ak kawngaih ce sai aham ak tyh awhtaw, ka cawngpyinaak ve Khawsa a venawh kaw nu, am awhtaw kamah a cawngpyinaak mai nu, tice sim kaw.
If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
18 Amah poek awh awi ak kqawn taw amah zoeksang qunaak ahamni ak kqawn hy, cehlai anih ak tyikung zoeksangnaak aham bi ak bikung taw awitak ak thlang ni; amah awh ce amak thym ikaw awm am awm hy.
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.
19 Mosi ing anaa awi am ni pek khqi nawh nu? Cehlai nangmih ak khuiawh pynoet kangna ingawm am hquut uhyk ti. Ikawtih kai him aham nami ni sui?” tinak khqi hy.
Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 Cawh thlang kqeng ing, “Nang ve qaai ta hyk ti ve. U ing nu nang him aham ani sui?” tina uhy.
The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Kai ing kawpoek kyi them pynoet sai nyng, cawh nangmih naming ngaih na kyi hy.
Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
22 Cehlai Mosi ing chahhui qeetnaak ani peek khqi dawngawh (Mosi ing am pe nawh pakdamkhqi ing ni ami na peek hlai hy), Sabbath nyn awh nangmih ing naasen chahhui qeetnaak sai uhyk ti.
Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
23 Naasen ce Sabbath nyn awh chahhui qeet pe hlai uhyk ti, Mosi a anaa awi ce eek na ama awm awhtaw, kawtih kai ing Sabbath nyn awh thlaktlo ka qoei sak awh nangmih namik kaw a so?
If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?
24 Ak khan toek nawh awi koeh tlyk uh, ak thym na awi tlyk uh,” tinak khqi hy.
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Cawh Jerusalem khaw awhkaw thlang vang tloek ing, “Him aham ami sui ak thlang ce anih am nu ve?
Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 Toek lah uh, ang dang qoengna awi ak kqawn awh, u ingawm a venawh ikaw am kqawn hqa uhy. Ukkungkhqi ing anih ve Khrih ni tinawh amik poek tang hy voei nu aw?
and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
27 Cehlai ningnih ingtaw anih ve hana kaw thlang nu tice ni sim uhy, Khrih a law awhtaw hana kawng nu a law tice u ingawm am sim hly hlai hy,” ti uhy.
Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
28 Cawh, Jesu ing bawkim awh a cawngpyi doena khy nawh, “Oeih, kai ve ni sim uhyk ti, kai ve hana kaw nu tice ni sim uhyk ti. Kai kamah poek ing vawh am law nyng, cehlai kai anik tyikung ce thym hy. Anih ce nangmih ing am sim uhyk ti,
Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.
29 cehlai anih ing ni tyi nawh, anih a venawh kawng ka law dawngawh kai ingtaw sim nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Cawh anih ce tu pahoei aham ngaih uhy, cehlai anih a tym ce a pha hlan dawngawh, u ingawm am tuhy.
Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Cehlai, thlang khawzah ing anih awh ce cangnaak ta uhy. Cekkhqi ing, “Khrih a law awh, ve ak thlang anglakawh anih ing kawpoek kyi them khawzah ngai ak sai hly nu?” ti uhy.
But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?
32 Thlangkhqi ing anih akawng cemyihna amik kqawn sap sap ce Farasikhqi ing za uhy. Cawh khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi ing anih ce tu aham bawkim ukkungkhqi ce tyi uhy.
The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
33 Jesu ing, “Nangmih a venawh a khoehca ni ka awm hly, cekcoengawh taw kai anik tyikung a venna cet hly hawh nyng.
Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
34 Nangmih ing kai ce ni sui kawm uk ti, cehlai amni hu kawm uk ti; kai ka awmnaak awh nangmih am law thai kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 Cawh Judahkhqi ing, “Amni huh thainaak aham hana nu cet valh vang a ti hy voei? Nimah thlangkhqi ing poeng unawh aming kqeng aming tainaak Greekkhqi anglak na cet nawh Greekkhqi cawngpyi khqi vang, tinawh hy voei aw?
The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 ‘Nangmih ing ni sui hly hlai uhyk ti, amni hu kawm uk ti, kai ka awmnaak awh nangmih am law thai kawm uk ti,’ a ti hy voei?” ti uhy.
What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
37 Poei a dytnaak ingkaw a pui khyt a khawnghi awh, Jesu ing dyi nawh kawteh na, “U awm tui ak ngaih taw ka venna law seitaw, tui aw seh.
On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
38 U awm kai anik cangnaak thlang taw, cak ciim ing ak kqawn amyihna, ak kawk khui nakawng hqingnaak tui ce lawng kaw,” tinawh khy hy.
He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
39 Ce ak awi ak kqawn ngaihnaak taw, amah ce ak cangnaak thlang boeih ing a hu na ami huh hly Myihla ce ak kqawn ngaihnaak ni. Jesu ce zoeksang na a awm hlan dawngawh, ce a nyn dy awhtaw Myihla ce pe hlan hyn hy.
But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Ak awi ce aming zaak awh, thlang vang ing, “Ve ak thlang ve tawngha tang ni,” ti uhy.
Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
41 Thlang vang bai ingtaw, “Ve ak thlang ve Khrih ni,” ti uhy. Thlak changkhqi bai ing taw, “Ikawmyihna Khrih ce Kalili awhkawng a law thai kaw?
Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
42 Cakciim ing, 'Khrih taw David ipkhui awhkawng law kaw, David a awmnaak khaw Bethlehem awhkawng law kaw,' tihy ka ti koe noek?” ti uhy.
Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
43 Jesu ak camawh thlang kqeng ce pek ang bo qu uhy.
So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
44 Thlang vang ing anih ce tu aham ngaih uhy, cehlai u ingawm am tuhy.
And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
45 A huna taw bawkim temkungkhqi ce khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi venna hlat tlaih uhy, cekkhqi ing, “Ikawtih anih ce am nami law pyi? tina uhy.
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
46 Bawkim teemkungkhqi ing, “U ingawm anih amyihna awi ap kqawn khawi hlan hy, tina uhy.
The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
47 Farasikhqi ing, “Nangmih awm ni thai nak khqi hawh lawt hy my ce?
The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
48 Ukkung am awhtaw Farasi pynoet oet ing anih ak awi ce cangna hawh nawh leek nu?
Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
49 Amni! Vawhkaw thlang kqeng ing anaa awi ikaw awm am sim uhy, a mingmih ak khanawh awihkha awm hawh hy,” ti uhy.
but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
50 A mingmih anglakawh pynoet na awm nawh ak cyk awh Jesu a venna ak cet Nekodemu ing,
Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
51 “Ningmih anaa awi ing thlang a ik-oeih sai lamma na ang zaak hlanawh thawlh sak paqap qap nawh nu? tinak khqi hy.
Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
52 A mingmih ing, “Nang awm Kalili ben awhkaw thlang lawt aw? Sui nawh toek lah thaw voeih ti, Kalili awhkawng tawngha ap cawn khawi hy,” tina uhy.
They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
53 Cekcoengawh, im na voei boeih uhy.
(Joh 7:53 - 8:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.) [[And they went each to his house;
