Jawhan 1
1 Apuengcue vah lawk teh ao, Lawk teh Cathut hoi rei ao, Lawk teh Cathut doeh.
Originally, was, the Word, and, the Word, was, with God; and, the Word, was, God.
2 Ahni teh apuengcue vah Cathut hoi rei ao.
The same, was originally, with God.
3 Hnocawngca pueng ahni pawlawk dawk sak lah ao teh, ahni laipalah sak hoeh e banghai awm hoeh.
All things, through him, came into existence, and, without him, came into existence, not even one thing: that which hath come into existence,
4 Ahni dawk hringnae ao, hahoi hote hringnae teh taminaw e angnae lah ao.
in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.—
5 Hote angnae teh a hmonae koe a ang teh, hmonae ni ramuk thai hoeh.
And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold.
6 Cathut ni Jawhan tie a tami hah a patoun.
There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John:
7 Jawhan ni angnae kong hah a kampangkhai. Tami pueng ni hote akong a thai navah yuemnae a tawn thai awh nahane dei hanlah a tho.
The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him.
8 Ahni teh angnae nahoeh, angnae kong kampangkhai hane doeh a tho.
He, was not the light, —but, that he might bear witness concerning the light,
9 Angnae katang teh heh talaivan a tho teh tami pueng angnae ka poe e lah ao.
It, was—The real light that enlighteneth every man—Coming into the world.
10 Ahni teh het talaivan vah ao teh, hete talai hai a sak toe. Hatei, talai ni ahni teh panuek hoeh.
In the world, he was, and, the world, through him, came into existence, and, the world, knew him not.
11 Ahni teh a taminaw koe a tho ei a taminaw ni a hnamthun takhai awh.
Into his own possessions, he came, and, his own people, received him not home.
12 Capa ka yuem e taminaw pueng teh Cathut ca lah coungnae kâ a poe.
But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, —unto them who were believing on his name:
13 Cathut ca lah coungnae teh tami phunglam lahoi khe e lah tho hoeh. Thi moi hoi khe e na hoeh. Tami ni khe e hai nahoeh. Cathut ama ni khe e ca lah ao.
Who—not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but—of God, were born.
14 Lawk hah tami lah a coung teh, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang hoi akawi. Maimouh koe ao teh Cathut ni a Capa tawn dueng a poe e a bawilennae patetlah maimouh ni bawilennae hmu awh.
And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory, —a glory, as an Only-begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.
15 Jawhan ni ahnie kong hah a kampangkhai teh, kaie hnuk lah ka tho hane teh, ka o hoehnahlan kaawm toung niteh, kai hlak kalen e lah ao ka ti navah ahni doeh telah a hramkhai.
(John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying—the same, was he that said—He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)
16 Ahnie kuepnae koehoi lungmanae van lungmanae teh coe awh.
Because, out of his fulness, we all, received, even favour over against favour.
17 Cathut ni kâlawk teh Mosi koehoi na poe awh, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang teh Jisuh Khrih koehoi doeh a tho.
Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence.
18 Apinihai Cathut teh hmawt boihoeh eiteh, Cathut lungtabue dawk kaawm e a Capa buet touh dueng ni Cathut teh a kamnue sak.
No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
19 Judahnaw ni vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah Jerusalem lah Jawhan koe a patoun awh teh, nang hah apimaw telah a pacei sak awh.
And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, —that they might question him—Who art, thou?
20 Jawhan ni kai teh Messiah na hoeh telah kamcengcalah a dei pouh.
and he confessed, and did not deny, —and he confessed—I, am not, the Christ;
21 Ahnimouh nihai, pawiteh nang apimaw, Elijah maw telah a pacei awh. Jawhan ni, kai teh Elijah nahoeh telah atipouh. Hoeh pawiteh profet maw atipouh awh, nahoeh bo bout atipouh.
and they questioned him—What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith—I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered—No!
22 Ahnimouh ni, nang teh apimaw. Kaimouh kapatounnaw koe bout ka dei awh nahanlah namahoima bangtelamaw na kâdei telah a pacei awh.
So they said unto him—Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, —What sayest thou, concerning thyself?
23 Jawhan nihai, kai teh profet Isaiah ni a dei e patetlah Cathut e lamthung lan sak awh telah kahrawngum ka hramkhai e lawk doeh atipouh.
He said—I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; —In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 A patoun awh e naw teh Farasinaw doeh.
And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees;
25 Ahnimouh ni, nang teh Messiah hai na hoeh, Elijah na hoeh, profet hai na hoehpawiteh, bangkongmaw tui baptisma na poe vaw atipouh awh.
and they questioned him, and said unto him—Why, then, dost thou immerse, —if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet?
26 Jawhan ni, Kai ni vah tui dawk baptisma na poe awh, hatei, nangmouh ni na panue hoe e, ka hnuklah ka tho hane ao.
John answered them, saying—I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; —
27 Kai ni vah khokkhawmrui boehai rasu pouh han ka kamcu hoeh atipouh.
after me, coming: —Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.
28 Hettelah lawk a kâ paceinae hmuen teh Jordan palang teng Bethani kho, Jawhan ni tui baptisma a poenae hmuen koe doeh.
These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing.
29 Atangtho Jawhan ni Jisuh a tho e a hmu navah khen a haw Cathut e tuca talaivan e yon ka cetkhai e ho!
On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith—See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.
30 Ahni teh kai ka o hoehnahlan hoi kaawm tangcoung e ni teh kai hlak kalen ni teh kaie ka hnuklah a tho han ka tie hah doeh.
This, is he, of whom, I, said—After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.
31 Ahmaloe vah ahni teh ka panuek hoeh. Hatei, Isarelnaw ni ama a panue thai awh na hanelah kai ni tui baptisma na poe awh e doeh atipouh.
And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing.
32 Hahoi Jawhan ni, kalvan hoi Muitha teh Âbakhu patetlah a kum teh avan vah a cu e ka hmu telah a kampangkhai teh a dei.
And John bare witness, saying—I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, —and it abode upon him.
33 Ahmaloe vah ahni ka panuek hoeh, hatei, teh tui baptisma na kapoesakkung ni, tami buet touh van vah Muitha a kum teh a cu e hah na hmu navah, ahni teh Kathoung Muitha hoi tui baptisma ka poe hane doeh tie na panue han ati e patetlah,
And, I, knew him not, —but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said—Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit.
34 khei ka hmu teh ahni teh Cathut Capa doeh telah nangmouh koe ka kampangkhai telah Jawhan ni a dei.
I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness—That, this, is, the, Son of God.
35 Atangtho vah Jawhan hoi a hnukkâbang kahni touh ni Jisuh a tho e a hmu awh navah,
On the morrow, again, was John standing, and, from among his disciples, two;
36 Jawhan ni a khet teh, Cathut e tuca hah khenhaw ati.
and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith—See! the Lamb of God!
37 Avaica roi ni a thai navah Jisuh hnuk a kâbang roi.
and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Jisuh ni a kamlang teh a hnuklah a kâbang roi e a hmu navah, bangmaw na ngai roi telah a pacei. Ahnimouh roi ni, Rabbi, Bawipa nang teh namaw na o telah atipouh. Rabbi ti ngainae teh kacangkhaikung tinae doeh.
But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them—What seek ye? And, they, said unto him—Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?
39 Jisuh ni tho nateh khenhaw! atipouh. Ahnimouh ni a cei awh teh a onae teh a hmu awh, atueng teh tangmin lahsa suimilam pali a pha toe. Kho hmo totouh ama koe ao awh.
He saith unto them—Be coming, and ye shall see. They came, therefore, and saw where he abode, and, with him, they abode that day. It was about the tenth, hour.
40 Jawhan e lawk a thai hoi Jisuh hnukkâbang roi e thung dawk buet touh teh Simon Piter e a nawngha Andru doeh.
One of the two that heard from John and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Andru ni apasuekpoung lah Simon koe a cei teh, Messiah teh ka hmu awh toe atipouh. Messiah tie teh Khrih tinae doeh.
The same findeth, first, his own brother Simon, and saith unto him—We have found the Messiah! which is, when translated, Anointed.

He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said—Thou, art Simon, the son of John, —thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.
43 Atangtho vah Jisuh teh Galilee lah cei han a kâcai. Filip hah a hmu nah ka hnukkâbang atipouh.
On the morrow, he desired to go forth into Galilee. And Jesus findeth Philip, and saith unto him—Be following me!
44 Filip teh Andru hoi Piter a onae Bethsaida kho hoi ka tho e tami doeh.
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Filip ni Nathanael a hmu nah, phunglawk cauk dawk e Mosi ni a thut e, profetnaw ni akong a thut e Nazareth tami Joseph capa Jisuh hah ka hmu toe atipouh.
Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him—Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found.—Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!
46 Nathanael ni, Nazareth kho hoi hnokahawi a tâco boimaw atipouh navah Filip ni vah tho nateh khenhaw! atipouh.
And Nathanael said unto him—Out of Nazareth, can any good thing come? Philip saith unto him—Come, and see!

Nathanael saith unto him—Whence, dost thou, know, me? Jesus answered, and said unto him—Before Philip called thee, —when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael ni, Bawipa nang teh Cathut Capa doeh Isarelnaw e Siangpahrang doeh, atipouh.
Nathanael answered him—Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel.
50 Jisuh ni thaibunglung rahim na o e ka hmu ka ti dawk maw na tang. Hot hlak kalen e hno hah bout na hmu han atipouh.
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!

And he saith unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Ye shall see heaven—when set open, and, the messengers of God, ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
