John 7
1 Hibang teng zawkciang in, Jesus sia Galilee huam sung ah pai hi: banghangziam cile Judah mite in that nuam ahikom Judah ngam sung ah pai ngawl hi.
After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.
2 Tu in Judah te i biakbuk poai hong nai zo hi.
Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
3 Tua ahikom a suapui te in Jesus kung ah, na vawt nasep te na nungzui te zong in a mu thei natu in, hi mun pan Judah ngam sung ah pai tan.
So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works that you are doing.
4 Banghangziam cile a kilang in ngual heak tu a dei te kuama in a thimtham in seam ngawl hi. Hibang te na vawt ahile leitung mite kung ah nangma le nangma ki pualak in, ci uh hi.
For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
5 Banghangziam cile a suapui te in zong Ama a um bua uh hi.
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 Tua zawkciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, Ka hun hong theng ngawl lai hi: ahihang note atu a tawntung in hunpha a hihi.
Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 Leitung in note hong ensan thei ngawl hi; ahihang kei hong ensan hi, banghangziam cile amate nasep pha ngawl hi, ci tetti ka pang hi.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 Hi poai ah pai tavun: kei hile ka hun cing ngawl lai ahikom pai ngawl lai tu khi hi, ci hi.
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
9 Hi thu te a son laitak in, Ama sia Galilee ah om nginge lai hi.
After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 Ahihang a suapui te a pai zawkciang in, Jesus zong poai ah hongpai a, a kilang ngawl in pai ku hi.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 Tua zawkciang in poai mun ah Judah te in Ama zong uh a, koisung ah om ziam? ci uh hi.
The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
12 Taciang mipi te sung ah Jesus thu taw kisai in phun teaptup uh hi: banghangziam cile mi pawlkhat te in, Ama sia mipha hi, ci uh a: a dang te in, hi ngawl hi; Ama in ngual theam hi, ci uh hi.
There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."
13 Ahihang Judah mite a lau uh hang in kuama in a kilang in a pau ngam bua uh hi.
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
14 Tu in poai a lang bang a man ciang Jesus sia biakinn sung ah pai a, thuhil hi.
But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 Judah mite in lamdangsa in, hi sia pa sia sin le sin ngei ngawl napi, bangbang in lai he thei ziam? ci uh hi.
Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
16 Jesus in, Kong hil thu sia keima a hi ngawl hi, ahihang keima hong sawlpa i hilna a hihi.
Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 Mihing khatpo in Pathian deina a seam tu ahile, ka hilna sia Pathian kung pan maw, a hibale keima thinsung suak hi zaw, ci he tu hi.
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
18 Ama thinsung suak a hil peuma in ama minthanna tu zong hi: ahihang ama a sawlpa atu in minthanna a zong sia mipha a hihi, taciang ama sung ah thuman ngawl na om ngawl hi.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Moses in note thukham hong pia hi ngawl ziam? ahihang kuama in thukham na zui bua uh hi, Banghang in hong that nuam nu ziam? ci in zo hi.
Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
20 Mipi te in, doai vei ni hi: kua in hong that nuam na ziam? ci zo uh hi.
The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
21 Jesus in amate tung ah, Nasep khat ka seam a, na vekpi in lamdang na sa uh hi.
Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
22 Tua ahikom Moses in vunteap at na thu hong pia hi; (hi sia in Moses hang hi ngawl in, pu le pa te hang a hihi; ) taciang note in sabbath ni in vunteap at nu hi.
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
23 Moses thukham paltan ngawl tu in khatpo in sabbath ni in vunteap ki at a hile, banghang in sabbath ni in mihing khat ka damsak hang in ka tung ah thin-uk nu ziam?
If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24 Maitang en in thukhen heak vun, ahihang a man thukhenna taw thukhen vun, ci hi.
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
25 Tua zawkciang in Jerusalem pan mi pawlkhat te in, ngual i thatlum nuam in a zon uh sia hi sia pa hi ngawl ziam?
Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 Ahihang, en vun, hangsantak in thuhil a, amate in bangma ci thei ngawl hi. Ngam uk te in hisia pa sia Christ tatak hi, ci a he takpi uh ziam?
Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
27 Ahihang hisia pa sia a kua ziam, ci i he bua hi: ahihang Christ hongpai ciang in, koisung pan hongpai, ci sia kuama in he ngawl hi, ci uh hi.
However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
28 Jesus sia biakinn sung ah thu a hil kawm in au a, Note in hong he nu hi, taciang koisung pan hongpai, ci zong hong he nu hi: ahihang kei hong sawlpa sia thuman hi a, note in Ama sia na he bua uh hi.
Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29 Ahihang keima in Ama ka he hi: banghangziam cile keima sia Ama kung pan ka hi a, Ama in hong sawl hi, ci hi.
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
30 Tua zawkciang in amate in Jesus mat sawm uh hi: ahihang kuama in man ngam ngawl hi, banghangziam cile a hun cing ngawl lai hi.
They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 Taciang mi tampi te in Ama um uh a, Christ hongpai ciang in, hi sia pa i vawt sang in a tamzaw nalamdang te vawt tu hi, ci uh hi.
But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"
32 Pharisee te in Jesus thu taw kisai in mite a phun na thu za uh hi; taciang Pharisee te le thiampi lian te in Jesuh man tu in palik te paisak hi.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Tua zawkciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, Tawmvei sung note taw kong omkhawm tu hi, taciang kei hong sawlpa kung ah pai tu khi hi.
Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34 Note in nong zong tu uh a, ahihang nong mu bua tu uh hi: ka omna mun ah note nong pai thei bua tu uh hi, ci hi.
You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
35 Tua zawkciang in Judah te in amate sung ah, ei i mu ngawl tu in koisung pai tu ziam? Gentile mite sung ah a ki thethang te kung pai in, Gentile mite hil tu a hi tu ziam?
The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 Note in nong zong tu uh a, ahihang hong mu ngawl tu nu hi: ka omna mun ah note nong pai thei bua tu uh hi, a ci sia bang a cinopna hi tu ziam? ci tek uh hi.
What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
37 Poai ni a khakbel, ni thupi ni in, Jesus hong ding a, Khatpo a dang a tak le, ka kung ah hongpai tahen a, dawn tahen.
Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
38 Keima hong um peuma laithiangtho in a ci bang in, a pumpi sung pan in a nungta nguntui luang tu hi, ci hi.
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
39 Ahihang hithu sia Jesus in Ama a um te in a san tu Thaa thu a sonna a hihi: banghangziam cile Jesus vang ki liansak ngawl lai ahikom in Tha Thiangtho ki pia ngawl hi.
But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Tua ahikom in mi tampi in hi thu a zak uh ciang in, hisia pa sia kamsang tatak hi, ci uh hi.
Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
41 Midang te in, hisia Christ hi, ci uh hi. Ahihang pawlkhat te in, Galilee pan Christ hongpai tu ziam?
Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Laithiangtho in, Christ sia David suan sung pan hongpai tu hi, taciang David omna Bethlehem khuapi pan hongpai tu hi, ci hi ngawl ziam? ci uh hi.
Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
43 Tua ahikom, Jesus hang in mite sung ah ki khenna hong om hi.
So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
44 Pawlkhat te in man nuam uh hi napi; ahihang kuama in khut a nga ngam bua uh hi.
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 Tua zawkciang in, palik te thiampi lian le Pharisee te kung ah hongpai uh a; amate in, banghang in Jesus hong paipui ngawl nu ziam? ci uh hi.
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
46 Palik te in, hisia pa bang in kuama in thuhil ngei ngawl hi, ci in zo uh hi.
The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
47 Tua zawkciang in Pharisee te in, note zong hong theam tha zo ziam?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
48 Ngam uk te le Pharisee te sung ah Ama a um om zo ziam?
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Ahihang thukham a he ngwal hi mite sia hamsiat thuak te a hi uh hi, ci in zo uh hi.
But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
50 Pharisee te sung pan mi khat a hi, zan lai in Jesus kung ah a pai Nicodemus in, amate tung ah,
Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
51 Ih thukham in mi khat sia a thu ngai masa ngawl in le a vawtna he masa ngawl in thukhen ziam? ci hi.
"Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
52 Amate in zo kik a, nangma zong Galilee mi ni ziam? kan in a, en in: banghangziam cile Galilee pan in kamsang piang ngawl hi, ci uh hi.
They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
53 Taciang amate inn tek ah cia siat uh hi.
Then everyone went to his own house,
