John 12
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Jesuh tah yoom hlankah a hnin rhuk dongah, Bethany la pawk coeng. Te ah te Jesuh loh duek lamkah a thoh Lazarus te khaw om.
2 So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
Te dongah anih ham hlaembuh pahoi a thong uh tih Martha te tokthuet. Lazarus tah Jesuh taengah aka vael pakhat la om van.
3 Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Te vaengah Mary loh a phu aka tlo nardo botui pound khat han khuen tih Jesuh kho te a hluk phoeiah a sam neh a huih. Te dongah im te botui kah a bo neh khuk bae.
4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
Tedae a hnukbang pakhat, Jesuh yoih ham aka cai Judas Iskariot loh,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
“Balae tih botui he denari yathum la a yoih vetih khodaeng rhoek a paek pawh?” a ti.
6 Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
Tedae anih te khodaeng ham a ngaihuet dongah pawt tih hlanghuen la a om neh, tangkacun ah a sang uh tih aka om te a yueh dongah ni a thui.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Anih he hlah ngawn, te daengah ni kai kah rhokhlak khohnin ham khaw a khoem eh.
8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
Khodaeng te namamih taengah na khueh taitu dae kai tah nan khueh uh phueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
Anih a om tapkhoeh te Judah rhoek khuikah hlangping te yet loh a ming uh. Jesuh bueng kongah pawt tih duek lamkah aka thoo Lazarus te khaw hmuh ham ha lo uh.
10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
Tedae khosoihham rhoek loh Lazarus te khaw ngawn ham a moeh uh.
11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
Lazarus kongah Judah rhoek te muep a toeng uh tih Jesuh te a tangnah uh.
12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
A vuen atah khotue la aka lo hlangping a yet loh Jerusalem la Jesuh ha pawk tila a yaak uh.
13 They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
Rhophoe kah a hlaeng te a loh uh tih amah doenah la cet uh. Te vaengah, “Hosanna, Boeipa ming neh aka pawk Israel manghai tah a yoethen coeng,” tila pang uh.
14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
Jesuh loh muli-marhang ca te a hmuh tih a soah ngol.
15 “Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
“Zion canu birhih boeh, na manghai tah muli-marhang ca dongah ngol tih ha pawk coeng ke,” tila daek tangtae ana om rhoe pai.
16 At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
Hekah he hnukbang rhoek loh a ming uh lamhma moenih. Tedae Jesuh a thangpom vaeng daengah ni anih ham ana om tih anih ham a saii uh tila a poek uh.
17 Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
Te dongah Lazarus te hlan lamkah a khue tih duek lamkah anih a thoh vaengah Jesuh taengkah aka om hlangping loh ana phong uh coeng.
18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
Te dongah hlangping loh Jesuh a doe te khaw amah loh miknoek a saii te a yaak uh dongah ni.
19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek amamih te, “Khat khaw na phu uh pawt te so uh. Diklai loh anih hnuk a vai coeng ke,” a ti uh.
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Tedae khotue ah bawk ham aka cet rhoek khuiah hlangvang tah Greek rhoek khaw om uh.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
Te dongah Galilee peng Bethsaida lamkah rhoek loh Philip te a paan uh. Te phoeiah anih te a dawt uh tih, “Boeipa, Jesuh te hmuh ham ka ngaih uh,” a ti na uh.
22 Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
Philip te cet tih Andrew taengah a thui. Te phoeiah Andrew neh Philip te ha lo rhoi tih Jesuh taengah a thui rhoi.
23 But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Hlang capa thangpom ham a tue loh ha pai coeng.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, cang ti te lai la tla tih a duek pawt atah amah bueng ni a cul. Tedae a duek atah cangvuei muep vuei.
25 Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Amah kah hinglu aka lungnah tah poci vetih he diklai ah amah kah hinglu aka hmuhuet loh dungyan hingnah ham te a ngaithuen ni. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
Khat khat long ni kai n'bongyong atah kai m'vai vetih mela ka om akhaw kai kah tueihyoeih la pahoi om ni. khat khat long ni kai n'bongyong atah anih te a pa loh a hinyah ni.
27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
Tahae ah ka hinglu loh hinghuen tih metlae ka ti eh? A pa tahae tue lamkah kai n'khang lah. Tedae te ham kongah tahae tue te kam paan coeng.
28 Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Pa, na ming te thangpom lah,” a ti. Te vaengah vaan lamkah ol ha lo tih, “Ka thangpom coeng tih koep ka thangpom ni,” a ti.
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
Te vaengkah aka pai tih aka ya hlangping loh, “Rhaek tla,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Puencawn loh anih a voek,” a ti uh.
30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Hekah ol he kai ham pawt tih nangmih ham ni ha pawk.
31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Hekah diklai he laitloeknah om coeng. Hekah diklai boei tah phawn a thaek pawn ni.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
Kai khaw diklai lamkah n'tai atah kamah taengla hlang boeih ka doek ni,” a ti nah.
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
Te vaengah a thui te a duek hamla a om dongah a dueknah ni a phoe coeng.
34 The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
Te phoeiah hlangping loh amah te, “Khrih tah kumhal duela naeh tila olkhueng lamkah loh ka yaak uh. Tedae balae tih hlang capa te tai ham a kuek tila na thui? Tekah hlang capa te ulae?” a ti na uh. (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah vangnah a tue rhaih om pueng. Nangmih te a hmuep loh n'khuk pawt ham vangnah na khueh uh vaengah pongpa uh. A hmuep ah aka pongpa loh mela a caeh khaw ming pawh.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
Vangnah na khueh uh vaengah vangnah te tangnah uh. Te daengah ni vangnah kah ca rhoek la na om uh eh,” a ti nah. Hekah he Jesuh loh a thui phoeiah amih taeng lamkah cet tih vik thuh uh.
37 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
Amih hmaiah miknoek he yet a saii dae amah te tangnah uh pawh.
38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah kah olka loh, “Boeipa, kaimih kah olthang te unim aka tangnah, Boeipa kah a ban tah u taengah nim a pumphoe eh?” a ti te a soep eh.
39 For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
Te nen te a tangnah uh thai moenih.
40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
Te dongah Isaiah loh, “A mik te a dael sak tih, a thin a thah sak. Te daengah ni a mik neh hmu uh pawt vetih, thinko neh a yakming vaengah ha mael uh vetih amih ka hoeih sak ve,” koep a ti.
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
Isaiah loh a thangpomnah te a hmuh dongah hekah he a thui tih a kawng a thui.
42 Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
Temai akhaw, boei rhoek khuiah long pataeng amah te muep a tangnah uh. Tedae Pharisee rhoek kongah phoe uh pawh. Te daengah ni a hael la a om uh pawt eh.
43 For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
Amih loh Pathen kah thangpomnah lakah hlang kah thangpomnah te a lungnah uh ngai dongah ni.
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
Tedae Jesuh loh tamhoe tih, “Kai aka tangnah loh kai n'tangnah pawt dae kai aka tueih te ni a tangnah.
45 And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
Kai aka hmuh long khaw kai aka tueih te a hmuh.
46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
Kai tah diklai ah vangnah la ka lo. Te daengah ni kai aka tangnah long tah a hmuep ah a naeh pawt eh.
47 As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Pakhat long khaw ka ol te a yaak lalah kuem pawt cakhaw kai loh anih lai ka tloek thil mahpawh. Diklai he laitloek thil ham pawt tih diklai khang ham ni ka pawk.
48 There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
Kai aka hnawt tih ka ol aka doe pawt loh laitloek kung te a khueh. Anih te ka thui ol loh a hnukkhueng khohnin ah lai a tloek bitni.
49 I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
Kai loh kamah lamkah ka thui moenih. Tedae ka cal ham neh ka thui ham te kai aka tueih a Pa amah loh kai taengah olpaek la m'paek coeng.
