Johan 8
1 Cehlai Jesu taw Olive tlang na ce kai hy.
Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 A khawngawi khaw a dai awh bawkim lut hy. Cawh thlang boeih a venna cun law bai usaw, ngawi nawh cekkhqi ce cawngpyi khqi hy.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 Cawh caqeekungkhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi ing nu pynoet a samphaih huiawh tu unawh law pyi uhy. Thlangkhqi haiawh nu ce dyih sak unawh,
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,
4 Jesu a venawh, “Cawngpyikung, vawhkaw nu ve a samphaih huiawh tu unyng.
They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Mosi a anaa awi ingtaw vemyih a nu ve lung ing thlak mat aham ni a awm hy. Nang ingtaw ikawmyihna nak poek?” tina uhy.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?
6 Ce awidoetnaak ve amah thawlh amik puknaak thai aham cainaak ta unawh a mi doet ni. Cehlai Jesu ing koep nawh a kut ply ing dek awh ca qee hy.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 Cekkhqi ing ami doet khing awh tho nawh a mingmih a venawh, “Nangmih ak khuiawh amak thawlh khawi qoe ing vawhkaw nu ve lung ing thlak ma seh,” tinak khqi hy.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Cekcoengawh nung koep tlaih nawh dek awh ca qee tlaih bai hy.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Ce ak awi ce aming zaak awh a hqamca awhkawng kqan nawh pynoet coeng pynoet cen bet bet uhy, a huna taw Jesu ingkaw cawh ak dyi nu doeng ce taang hy nih.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.
10 Jesu ing dyi nawh nu a venawh, “Nu, hana nu ami ceh boeih? U ingawm amni thawlh sak nawh nu?” tina hy.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?
11 Nu ing, “Bawipa, u ingawm amni thawlh sak hy,” tina hy. Cawh Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw kai ingawm amni thawlh sak lawt nyng. Cet nawhtaw thawlhnaak koeh sai voel moe,” tina hy.
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.
12 Thlangkhqi venawh Jesu ing awi kqawn pek tlaih hy, “Kai taw khawmdek vangnaak na awm nyng. U awm ka hu awh ak law taw ityk awh awm thannaak ak khuiawh am cet kaw, cehlai hqingnaak ce ta kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 Farasikhqi ing, “Nang ing namah ingkaw namah ni dyihthing na na awm hy; nang dyihpyinaak ve am thym hy,” tina uhy.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bore record of yourself; your record is not true.
14 Jesu ing cekkhqi ak awi ce vemyihna hlat khqi hy, “Kamah ingkaw kamah dyih qu pyi nyng seiawm, kang dyih qu pyinaak ve thym hy; kai taw hana kawng ka law nawh hana ka ceh hly tice sim nyng; cehlai nangmih ingtaw ka lawnaak ingkaw ka cehnaak hly am sim uhy ti.
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go.
15 Nangmih ing thlanghqing pumsa ing awideng uhyk ti; cehlai kai ingtaw u awm awi am deng nyng.
You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Awideng bai nyng seiawm, kamah doengna am ka awm awh kak awi tlypnaak ve thym hy. Kai anik tyikung Pa ingqawi kai taw dyi haih nyng.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Na mimah a anaa awi awh thlang pakhih ing a sim pyi awhtaw cawhkaw a simpyinaak ce thym hy tina awm hy.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Kai ing kamah ce dyih qu pyi nyng; kai anik tyikung ak chang simpyikung taw Pa ni,” tinak khqi hy.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me.
19 Cawh cekkhqi ing doet uhy, “Na pa ce hana nu a awm?” tina uhy. Jesu ing, “Nangmih ing kai amni sim u tiksaw ka Pa awm am sim utyk ti. Kai mah nami ni sim mantaw, ka Pa awm sim hly hlai uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also.
20 Bawkim awh tangka amik channaak bawm a venawh a cawngpyi khqi awh ve ak awi ve kqawn pek khqi hy. A tym a pha hlan dawngawh u ingawm am tu hy.
These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh awi kqawn pek khqi tlaih bai hy, “Kai taw cet hly hawh nyng, nangmih ing kai ce ni sui kawm uk ti, cehlai nami thawlhnaak awh ce thi kawm uk ti. Kai ka cehnaak awh nangmih am law thai kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Then said Jesus again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.
22 Cedawngawh Judahkhqi ce doet qu uhy, “Amah ingkaw amah him qu vang tinawh hy voei aw? Cawh aw, ‘Kai ka cehnaak awh nangmih am law thai kawm uk ti,’ a ti hy voei?” ti uhy.
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, you cannot come.
23 Cehlai anih ing, “Ningmih taw ak kai nakawng ni nami law hy, kai taw khan benna kawng law nyng. Nangmih taw ve khawmdek a koena awm uhyk ti; kai taw ve khawmdek a koe na am awm nyng.
And he said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Nami thawhlhnaak awh nangmih taw thi kawm uk ti, tice nik kqawn pek khqi hawh nyng; kai ve anih hawh ni, tinawh kak khypyi ve am namik cangnaak awhtaw nami thawlhnaak awh ce thi tang tang kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.
25 Cekkhqi ing, “Nang ve a u nu?” tina uhy. Jesu ing, “Nik kqawn pek khqi khing hawh nyng kaw.
Then said they to him, Who are you? And Jesus says to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.
26 Nangmih awi ka ni dengnaak khqi awh ve awi khawzah kqawn ham ta nyng. Cehlai kai anik tyikung taw ypawm hy, anih a ven awhkaw, kang zaak ce ni khawmdek a venawh kak kqawm,” tinak khqi hy.
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 A Pa akawng ak kqawn peekkhqi ce a mingmih ing am zasim uhy.
They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Cedawngawh Jesu ing, “Nangmih ing Thlanghqing Capa ce nami tai awh, kai ve anih hawh ni, tice sim kawm u tiksaw, kamah poek awh ik-oeih am sai nyng saw Pa ing ani cawngpyi amyihna ni awi kak kqawn, tice sim kawm uk ti.
Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.
29 Kai a nik tyikung ce kai ak khuiawh awm hy; kamah doeng amni cehta hy, anih ak kawngaih ce ni kai ing ka sai poepa,” tinak khqi hy.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 Ve ak awikhqi ak kqawn awh thlang khawzah ing ak khanawh cangnaak ta uhy.
As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Amah ak cangnaak Judahkhqi venawh Jesu ing, “Ka cawngpyinaak ve namim tu awhtaw, nangmih taw kai a hubat tang tang na awm uhyk ti.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;
32 Cawhtaw awitak ce sim kawm uk ti, Awitak ing nangmih ce ni loet sak khqi kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 A mingmih ing, “Kaimih ve Abraham a cadil na awm unyng saw, u a tamnaa na awm am awm khawi unyng. Ikawmyihna nang ing loet kawm uk ti, na ti?” tina uhy.
They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?
34 Jesu ing, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u awm thawlhnaak ak sai taw thawlhnaak a tamnaa na awm hy.
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
35 Tamnaa ing ipkhui awh am awm poe thai hy, cehlai capa taw ang qui na ipkhui awh awm hy. (aiōn g165)
And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Cedawngawh Capa ing nangmih ce ani loet sak khqi awhtaw, loet tang tang kawm uk ti.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
37 Nangmih Abraham a cadil na awm uhyk ti tice sim nyng. Cehlai nangmih ak khuiawh kak awi ama awm dawngawh, nangmih ing kai ce him aham ni ngaih uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 Kai ing ka Pa haiawh ka huh ce nangmih a venawh kqawn law nyng, nangmih ingawm nami pa a venawh kaw naming zaak ce ni nami sai lawt hy,” tinak khqi hy.
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.
39 Cekkhqi ing, “Abraham taw kaimih a Pa ni,” tina uhy. Jesu ing, “Abraham a ca khqi na nami awm awhtaw, Abraham ing a sai ce nami sai aham awm hlai ti maw.
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Kai ing Khawsa venawh kaw kang zaak awitak ce nangmih a venawh kqawn law hlai nyng, nangmih ingtaw kai ve him ahamni teng uhyk ti. Abraham ingtaw cemyih ik-oeih ce am sai hy.
But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Nangmih ingtaw nami pakhqi ing ami sai ceni nami sai hy,” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing, “Kaimih ve caquk caqaikhqi amni. Pynoet doeng kami taak cetaw Khawsa amah ni,” tina uhy.
You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Khawsa ce nangmih a Pa na a awm mantaw, kai ve ni lungna hly hlai uhyk ti, kai taw Khawsa venna kawng law nyng saw tuh vawh awm nyng. Kai kamah poek awh am law nyng; anih ing ni ani tyih hy.
Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Ikawtih kak awi ve nangmih a venawh ama caih hy voei? Kak kqawn ve am naming zaak thai dawngawh ni.
Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word.
44 Nangmih ve nami pa qaai ak thlangkhqi ni. Cedawngawh nami pa ak kawngaih ce sai aham ngaih uhyk ti. Anih ce ak cykca awhkawng thlang ak him na awm nawh amah awh awitak ce ama awm dawngawh awitak ce am tuhy. Qaai awi ak kqawn awh, amah ingkaw amah ni ak kqawn qu kqoeng hy, qaai awi ak kqawn thlang na awm nawh qaai awi ak kqawn thlangkhqi a pa na awm lawt hy.
You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 Cehlai awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi dawngawh, nangmih ing amnik cangna uhyk ti!
And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
46 Nangmih ak khuiawh u ing nu kai a thawlhnaak am tu law thai? Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi taw, Ikawtih am nami nik cangnaak?
Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 U awm Khawsa ak thlang ingtaw Khawsa ak awi ce za hy. Khawsa koe na am nami awm dawngawh ni ak awi awm am naming zaak thai hy,” tinak khqi hy.
He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.
48 Judahkhqi ing, “Nang ve Samari thlang qaai ak ta ni, ka mi tive thym hy my?” tina uhy.
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?
49 Jesu ing, “Qaai am ta nyng, kai ing ka Pa ni ka zoeksang, cehlai nangmih ing amni zoeksang uhyk ti.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.
50 Kamah a zoeksangnaak am sui nyng; ce ak sui thlang pynoet awm hy, anih cetaw awi ak dengkung na awm hy.
And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
51 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm kak awi ve a khoem awhtaw, ityk awh awm anih ce am thi voel kaw,” tina hy. (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Cawh Judahkhqi ing, “Tuh qaai ta hyk ti tice ni sim hawh unyng! Abraham ce thi hawh hy, cemyih lawt na tawnghakhqi awm thi hawh uhy, cehlai nang ingtaw, 'U awm kai ak awi ak khoem taw thihnaak am tan kaw,' ti hyk ti. (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Nang ve kaimih a Pa Abraham anglakawh na bau khqoet nawh nu? Anih ce thi hawh hy, cemyih lawt na tawnghakhqi awm thi hawh uhy. Namah ingkaw namah ve ikaw na nu nang ngaih qu?” tina uhy.
Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?
54 Jesu ing, “Kamah ingkaw kamah ka zoeksang qu awhtaw, ka zoeksang qunaak ve kawna awm am awm kaw. Ka pa, nangmih ing nami Khawsa na nami taak ce, anih ing ni kai ve ani zoeksang hy.
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
55 Nangmih ing anih ce am sim hlai uhyk ti, kai ingtaw sim nyng. Am sim nyng ka ti mantaw kai awm nangmih amyihna a qaai ak kqawn na awm nyng, cehlai anih ce kai ing sim nyng saw, ak awi ce khoem nyng.
Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Nangmih a pa Abraham ing kai a khawnghi ve huh aham anak poek nawh ana zeel hy; hu nawh ak kaw zeel hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Judahkhqi ing, “Kum hakip za na law hlanawh, Abraham hu nyng e!” tina uhy.
Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Jesu ing, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, Abraham a thang hlanawh kai awm hawh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Cawh, a mingmih ing khawng aham lung cung uhy, cehlai Jesu ing thuk taak khqi hy, bawkim kawngma awhkawng cekkhqi ce ak changna cehtaak khqi hy.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by.
