John 5
1 After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Acunkäna Judahea pawi mat ve se, Jesuh Jerusalema citki.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, near the sheep-gate, a pool, called, in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, with five porches.
Jerusalem mlüh, To Mkawt peia Hebru läk am Bethzatha ami ti luhnak mhma lawki tui büm mat veki.
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered, who waited for the moving of the water.
Am phetkia khyang khawhah, amikmü, akhawkxo, ja a kut khaw thikie ngjän u lü, tuia a ngsün law vai mtäteikie.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and stirred the water. Then he who entered first after the motion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.
Isetiakyaküng, Bawipaa khankhawngsä, akcün kcün üng tui büm üng kyum law lü, tui a ksün ksün law. Acunüng, au pi, tuia ngsün päng ja tuia khana kco maki cun a natnak naküt daw be khawiki.
5 And a certain man was there, who had been sick thirty-eight years.
Khyang mat kum thumkip ja khyet kunki veki.
6 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been already a long time in that condition, he said to him: Do you wish to be restored to health?
Jesuh naw acukba khawvei ve päng lü ngjänki ti ksing lü a hmuh üng, “Na daw be vai na ngja hlüki aw?” ti lü, a kthäh.
7 The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.
Ani naw, “Saja aw, tuia ngsün law üng tui büm da na kaih khai u am ve. Ka law k’um üng akce he naw na khe u lü kcoei ma thakthakie,” a ti.
8 Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.
Jesuh naw, “Tho law, na ngjänak lo lü cita,” a ti.
9 And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath.
Angxita ani cun daw beki. A ngjänak lo lü citki. Acuna mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
10 The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.
Judah ngvaie naw daw bekia veia, “Tuhngawi Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki. Judah Thuma tuhngawi na ngjännak käh na kawh hü vai,” ami ti.
11 He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk.
Ani naw jah msang lü, “Na mdaw beki naw, ‘Na ngjännak lo lü cita’ a ti ni, ti lü a jah mtheh be.
12 Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?
Amimi naw, “Na ngjännak lo lü cita tiki u ni?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
13 But he that had been restored to health knew not who he was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, because a multitude was in the place.
Acunsepi, Jesuh khyangea ksunga khyükei se, ani mdaw bekia Jesuh cun u hmana am ksing.
14 After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you.
Acun käna, Jesuh naw acuna khyang cun Temple a k'uma hmu be lü, “Tenga, na daw be pängki. Käh mkhyekat be ti kawpi; am ani üng ta, ahina ksetam bawk lü na khana pha law khai ni,” a ti.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health.
Daw bekia khyang cun cit lü, ani mdaw beki cun Jesuh ni ti lü Judah ngvaie üng a jah mtheh.
16 And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.
Acukba sabbath mhnüp üng a bilawha phäha Judah ngvaie naw Jesuh mkhuimkhakie.
17 But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Ka Pa aläa khüikia kyase, kei pi ka khüiki,” a ti.
18 For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God.
Jesuh Sabbath käh jeih lü, Mhnam pi amäta Pa ni tia a pyen ja, amät Mhnam am tängkia a pyena phäha, Judah ngvaie naw hnim law hlü bawkbawkie.
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever things he does, these also the Son does in like manner.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, Capa amät naw i am pawh thei. Acunsepi, Pa naw a pawh hmu lü pawhki. Pa naw a pawh naküt cun Capa naw pi acukba pawhki.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works than these, that you may be astonished.
“Pa naw Capa mhläkphya na lü, ahmäi amäta pawh naküt mhnuhki. Nami müncan vaia Pa naw Capa üng ahina kthaka däm bawkie jah mdang law khai.
21 For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.
Pa naw akthie jah mtho be lü, xünnak a jah peta mäiha, akcanga Capa naw pi a hlüeia khyang üng xünnak pe khai.
22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son;
Pa naw ua lei am mtai, acunsepi, ngthumkhyahnak avan Capa üng a pet päng.
23 that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.
“Acun cun, Pa ami leisawnga mäiha khyang naküt naw Capa pi leisawng law khaie. Capa am leisawngki cun ani tüih lawki Pa am leisawngkia kyaki.
24 Verily, verily I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
“Akcanga, ka ning jah mthehki, ka ngthu ngai lü na tüih lawki jumki naw angsäi xünnak yahki. Ngthumkhyahnak käh khamei khai, thihnak üngka naw xünnak pha pängki ni. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, thi pängki he naw Pamhnama Capa a ngkhü kthai ngja acun he. Ngjakia khyang naküt a xüng be vaia kcün pha law khai, akcanga ta pha law pängki ni.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself;
“Pa amät cun xünnaka phung ania mäiha, Pa naw Capa pi xünnaka phunga kyasaki.
27 and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Acunüng, ngthumkhyahnak vaia ana pi a pet ni. Isetiakyaküng, ani cun Khyanga Capa ania phäha kyaki.
28 Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
“Ahina phäha käh müncan ua, lungdüa awmki he naküt naw Capa kthai ami ngjaknak vaia kcün pha law khai,
29 and shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
akdaw bilokie tho be u lü xünnak yah u se, akse bilokie tho be u lü mkatnak khamei khaie.
30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
“Kamät naw i am pawh thei nawng. Ka ngjaka mäiha lei ka mtaiki; ka ngthumkhyah ngkhaiki. Isetiakyaküng, kamäta ngjak hlü käh sui lü, Pa na tüih lawkia ngjak hlü ka suia phäha kyaki.
31 If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not worthy of credit.
“Kamäta mawngma ka saksi üng ka saksi cangki ti mdangnak vai am ve.
32 There is another that testifies concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies concerning me is worthy of credit.
“Ka mawng saksiki akce veki; ani naw ka mawng a saksi cangki ti ka ksingki.
33 You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
“Johana veia ngsä tüih uki se, ani naw ngthungtak saksi khai.
34 But I receive not testimony from man; yet I say these things that you may be saved.
“Khyang he naw ka mawng ihawkba ami saksi üng kei am ngtungjin nawng. Acunsepi nangmi küikyannak nami yah vaia phäh hin ka pyena kyaki.
35 He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.
“Johan cun däi lü vaikia meiim mat am tängki. Ania kvai asäng nami jenak vaia nami ngja hlükie.
36 But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.
“Kei naw Johana saksia kthaka dawki saksi ka taki. Isetiakyaküng, Pa naw a na peta khut ka biki. Ka bia khut naw Pa naw a na tüih law ti cun mdanki.
37 And the Father, who sent me, has testified concerning me. You have, neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
“Acunüng, na tüih lawkia Pa naw pi keia mawng na saksi petki. Iti üngpi a kthai ngja lü a hmai am hmu khawi uki.
38 And his word you have not remaining in you; for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
A tüih law am nami jumeia phäh, Pamhnama ngthu pyen pi nami mlunga am kenei uki.
39 You search the scriptures, because in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify concerning me: (aiōnios g166)
“Cangcima k'uma angsäia xünnak nami hmu khaia ngai u lü, cangcim nami khe khawi jaiki. Acuna cangcim cun keia mawng saksikia kyaki. (aiōnios g166)
40 and yet you refuse to come to me, that you may have life.
“Acunsepi, xünnak nami yah khaia ka veia am law hlü uki.
41 I receive not honor from men.
“Khyanga mhlünmtainak am sui nawng.
42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.
Cunsepi, nangmi cun ia khyang mjü ti ka ksingki. Pamhnam nami mlungmthin kcang üng am nami mhläkphyanak pi ka ksingki.
43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not; if another should come in his own name, him you would receive.
“Ka pa a ngming üng law ngü se, am na dokham uki. Amäta ngming üng lawki khyang ani vai sü ta nami dokham khaie sü.
44 How can you believe who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that comes from God alone?
“Pamhnam mat däka vei üngka naw lawkia hlüngtainak käh sui u lü, namimät üngka hlüngtainak nami hlawheikie naw kei ihawkba nami na jum thei khai ni?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust.
Kei naw, Paa veia ka ning jah khya khaia käh ngai u. Nami üpnak Mosi naw va ning jah khya khai.
46 For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
“Mosi nami jum üng kei nami na jum khai. Isetiüng, ani naw keia mawng va yuk hütki.
47 But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?
“Cunsepi, ania yuk am nami jum üng, ihawkba keia pyen nami jum khai?” a ti.
