John 11
1 At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Te vaengah Mary neh a manuca Martha kah a kho Bethany kah Lazarus tah satlo la om.
2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
Tekah Mary tah Boeipa te botui neh aka hluk tih a kho te a sam neh aka huih ni. Anih kah nganpa Lazarus tah tlo.
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
Te dongah amih boeina loh Jesuh te a tah tih, “Boeipa, na lungnah te tlo coeng he,” a ti nah.
4 When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah tloh tah dueknah la om mahpawh tedae Pathen kah thangpomnah ham ni. Te daengah ni te lamloh Pathen capa te a thangpom eh,” a ti nah.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh Martha, a mana neh Lazarus te a lungnah.
6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
Tedae a tloh te a yaak vaengah a om nah hmuen ah hnin nit bet naeh.
7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te, “Judea la koep cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
Hnukbang rhoek loh amah te, “Rhabbi, Judah rhoek loh nang dae ham m'mae uh pueng lalah te la koep na cet aya?” a ti uh.
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
Jesuh loh, “Hnin at te khonoek loh hlainit a om moenih a? Khat khat long ni khothaih ah a pongpa atah he diklai kah vangnah te a hmuh dongah tongtah pawh.
10 But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
Tedae pakhat loh khoyin ah a pongpa atah anih ah vangnah a om pawt dongah a tongtah,” a ti nah.
11 After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
Hekah he a thui phoeiah amih te, “Mamih paya Lazarus ip tih anih haeng ham ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, a ih atah daem bitni,” a ti na uh.
13 They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
Jesuh loh anih kah dueknah kawng a thui. Tedae amih loh aka ip kah duemnah kawng a thui la a poek uh.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah sayalh la, “Lazarus duek coeng.
15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
Tedae nangmih ham ka omngaih. Te daengah ni pahoi ka om pawt te na tangnah uh eh. Tedae anih taengla cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
16 Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
Te dongah Didymus la a khue hnukbang Thomas loh, “Amah taengah duek puei ham mamih khaw cet uh sih,” a ti.
17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
Jesuh a pha vaengah anih te hlan khuiah hnin li a om coeng te a hmuh.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
Bethany te Jerusalem phatom kah phalong hlainga tluk a hla ah om.
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
Te vaengah Judah rhoek khaw Martha neh Mary te a nganpa kongah suem hamla muep pawk uh.
20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Mary stayed at home.
Te dongah Jesuh ha lo te Martha loh a yaak vaengah anih te a doe. Tedae Mary tah im ah ngol.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Te vaengah Martha loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek pawt sue.
22 But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
Tedae tahae pataeng Pathen taengah na bih te tah Pathen loh nang m'paek ni tila ka ming,” a ti nah.
23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
Jesuh loh anih te, “Na nganpa te thoo bitni,” a ti nah.
24 Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Martha loh, “Hnukkhueng khohnin kah thohkoepnah dongah thoo ni tila ka ming ta,” a ti nah.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
Jesuh loh anih taengah, “Kai tah thohkoepnah neh hingnah la ka om. Kai ah aka tangnah tah duek cakhaw hing ni.
Kai aka tangnah tih aka hing boeih tah kumhal duela duek loengloeng mahpawh, he he na tangnah a?” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
27 “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
Amah te, “Thuem ngawn Boeipa, nang tah diklai la aka lo Pathen capa Khrih ni tila kan tangnah,” a ti nah.
28 After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
Hekah he a thui phoeiah cet tih a mana Mary a khue tih, “Saya ha pai tih nang n'khue,” duem a ti nah.
29 And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
Te loh a yaak vaengah hlat thoo tih Jesuh taengla cet.
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
Te vaengah kho khuila Jesuh ham pha hlan dae Martha loh a doe nah hmuen ah om pueng.
31 When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
Im ah anih aka om puei Judah rhoek neh anih aka suem rhoek loh Mary hlat thoo tih a caeh te a hmuh uh vaengah aka rhap ham hlan la cet tila a poek uh tih a vai uh.
32 When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Mary loh Jesuh om nah a pha tih amah te a hmuh vaengah a kho kung ah bakop tih, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek mahpawh,” a ti nah.
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
Jesuh loh anih a rhah neh anih aka puei uh Judah rhoek kah a rhah te a hmuh vaengah a mueihla thanueih tih thuen.
34 “Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.
Te dongah, “Melam anih na khueh uh?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te, “Boeipa, ha lo lamtah so lah,” a ti na uh.
35 Jesus wept.
Jesuh tah mikphi bo.
36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Lazarus bahoeng a lungnah ke,” a ti uh.
37 But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”
Tedae amih khuikah hlangvang loh, “Mikdael kah mik te aka tueng sak long he te khaw a duek pawt ham a saii thai moenih a?” a ti uh.
38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
Te dongah Jesuh tah a khuiah thanueih tih hlan la koep ha pawk. Tedae hlan te lungko la om tih lungto khoep yalh.
39 “Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
Jesuh loh, “Lungto te khoe uh lah,” a ti nah hatah aka duek kah a ngannu Martha loh, “Boeipa, hninli om coeng tih rhim coeng,” a ti nah.
40 Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Jesuh loh anih te, “Na tangnah atah Pathen kah thangpomnah na hmuh ni tila nang taengah ka thui moenih a?” a ti nah.
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Te dongah lungto te a khoe uh. Te phoeiah Jesuh loh a mik te a dai hang tih, “A Pa, kai ol na hnatun dongah nang te kan uem.
42 I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
Te phoeiah kai kah he na yaak yoeyah tila ka ming. Tedae hlangping loh m'pai thil dongah nang loh kai nan tueih te a tangnah uh ham ka thui,” a ti.
43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Te phoeiah ol ue neh pang tih, “Lazarus. pawk ha cu,” a ti nah.
44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
Te vaengah aka duek te a kut a kho himbaipen neh a yen tih a hman kah te himbaica neh a yol doela ha thoeng. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Anih te hlam uh lamtah caeh sak uh,” a ti nah.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
Te dongah Judah khuikah te yet, Mary taengla a pha tih a saii te aka hmu long tah amah te a tangnah uh.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Tedae amih khuikah a ngen tah Pharisee rhoek taengla cet uh tih Jesuh loh a saii te a thui pa uh.
47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
Te dongah khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh khoboei a hueh uh tih, “Hekah hlang loh miknoek muep a saii dongah metlam n'saii eh?
48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
Hetlam he anih n'hlahpham uh koinih anih te boeih a tangnah uh ni. Te vaengah Roman rhoek te ha lo uh vetih mamih kah a hmuen neh namtu khaw a khuen ni,” a ti uh.
49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
Tedae amih khuikah pakhat, tevaeng kum kah khosoihham la aka om Kaiaphas loh amih te, “Nangmih loh pakhat khaw na ming uh moenih.
50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
Hlang pakhat loh pilnam yueng la duek vetih namtu tah boeih a poci pawt koinih nangmih ham rhoei ngai tila na poek uh moenih,” a ti nah.
51 Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
Tedae hekah he amah lamkah a thui moenih. Tedae te kum kah khosoihham la a om dongah namtu ham Jesuh duek la a cai te ni a phong coeng.
52 and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
Te phoeiah namtom ham bueng pawt tih taekyak tangtae Pathen ca rhoek te khaw pakhat la coicip ham pawn ni.
53 So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.
Te dongah te khohnin lamloh amah te ngawn ham a moeh uh.
54 As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.
Te dongah Jesuh loh Judah rhoek lakliah sayalh la pongpa voelpawh. Tedae kho yoei kah khosoek Ephraim la a khue kho ah cet tih hnukbang rhoek neh naeh uh.
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.
Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah yoom tah om tom coeng. Te dongah amamih te ciim ham yoom hlanah paeng lamloh Jerusalem la muep cet uh.
56 They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
Jesuh te a toem uh tih bawkim khuiah a pai uh vaengah, “Nangmih ta metlam na poek uh? Khotue la ha pawk loengloeng mahpawh,” tila khat neh khat thui uh thae.
57 But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.
Tedae khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh, “Khat khat loh a om nah a ming atah amah te tuuk ham ha puen saeh,” tila ol a paek uh coeng.
