John 8
1 But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives.
Tedae Jesuh tah olive tlang la cet.
2 And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them.
Mincang ah bawkim la koep ha pawk hatah pilnam pum loh a taengla a paan uh. Te dongah ngol tih amih te a thuituen.
3 Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.
Te vaengah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh huta pakhat te a samphaihnah neh a tuuk uh tih a khuen uh.
4 And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.
Anih te a laklung ah a pai sak uh phoeiah, Jesuh te, “Saya, hekah huta he a samphaih li vaengah ka tuuk uh.
5 And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”
Tedae olkhueng dongah tah hebang he dae hamla Moses loh mamih n'uen coeng. Te koinih nang tah metlae na ti eh?” a ti na uh.
6 But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
Tedae he nen he amah paelnaeh ham a khueh uh dongah a noemcai uh tih a voek uh. Te dongah Jesuh loh buluk thuk tih kutdawn neh lai ah a daek.
7 And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
Tedae amah te koepkoep a dawt uh vaengah pai tih amih te, “Nangmih khuikah aka tholh mueh loh anih te lamhma la lungto neh dae saeh,” a ti nah.
8 And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.
Te phoeiah koep buluk tih lai ah a daek.
9 But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.
A yaak uh vaengah patong lamkah a tong tih pakhat pakhat ah boeih cet uh. Te dongah Jesuh neh a laklung kah aka om huta bueng la cul.
10 Then Jesus, raising himself up, said to her: “Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?”
Te vaengah Jesuh te pai tih, “Huta, melam a om uh? nang m'boe sak moenih nama?” a ti nah.
11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said: “Neither will I condemn you. Go, and now do not choose to sin anymore.”
Te dongah te long te, “Boeipa, om pawh ue,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai khaw nang kan boe sak moenih. Cet lamtah tahae lamkah tholh voel boeh,” a ti nah.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Te phoeiah Jesuh te amih taengah koep cal tih, “Kai tah diklai kah vangnah ni. Kai aka vai rhoek tah a hmuep ah pongpa voel pawt vetih hingnah hmaivang te a khueh ni,” a ti nah.
13 And so the Pharisees said to him, “You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true.”
Te dongah amah te Pharisee rhoek loh, “Nang loh namah kawng ni na phong, na olphong te oltak om pawh,” a ti na uh.
14 Jesus responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai loh kamah kawng ka phong cakhaw kai kah olphong te oltak la om. Me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw ka ming. Tedae nangmih loh me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw na ming uh pawh.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I do not judge anyone.
Nangmih loh pumsa neh lai na tloek uh. Kai tah ukhaw lai ka tloek moenih.
16 And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.
Tedae lai ka tloek van coeng atah kamah bueng ka om pawt tih kai aka tueih a pa neh kai ka om rhoi dongah kai kah laitloeknah tah a thuem la om pataeng.
17 And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
Olkhueng dongah khaw nangmih ah hlang panit kah olphong te thuem tila a daek coeng.
18 I am one who offers testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me offers testimony about me.”
Kai loh kamah kawng aka phong la ka om dae kai aka tueih a pa loh kai kawng a phong,” a ti nah.
19 Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.”
Te dongah amah te, “Na pa te melam a om?” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh, “Kai nan ming uh pawt tih a pa khaw na ming uh pawh. Kai nan ming uh koinih a pa te khaw na ming uh ni,” a ti nah.
20 Jesus spoke these words at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended him, because his hour had not yet come.
Bawkim ah a thuituen vaengah hekah ol he tangkabu kaepah a thui dae amah kah a tue a pha hlan dongah anih te tuu uh pawh.
21 Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
Te dongah amih te, “Ka caeh vaengah kai nan toem uh cakhaw namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni. Mela ka caeh khaw nan pha uh ham coeng pawh,” koep a ti nah.
22 And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Amah ngawn uh la cai pawt nim? ‘Mela ka caeh khaw na loh ham coeng pawh,’ a ti he,” a ti uh.
23 And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah a hmui lamkah ni. Kai tah a so lamkah ni. Nangmih tah he diklai lamkah ni. Kai tah he diklai lamkah ka om moenih.
24 Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
Te dongah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui. Kai he amah ni tila na tangnah uh pawt atah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni,” a ti nah.
25 And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
Te dongah amah te, “Nang ulae,” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Pakhat khaw a tongcuek ah nangmih ham kan thui van te ta?
26 I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”
Nangmih kawng te thui ham neh laitloek ham muep om. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak la om. Kai khaw anih taengkah ka yaak te ni diklai ah ka thui,” a ti nah.
27 And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
Amih taengah Pa kah a thui tila ming uh pawh.
28 And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Hlang capa te na pomsang uh daengah ni kai ni ti khaw, kamah lamkah ka saii pawt tih a pa loh kai n'thuituen vanbangla ka thui he khaw na ming uh eh.
29 And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.”
Te dongah kai aka tueih te kai taengah om tih anih kolo te ka saii taitu dongah kamah bueng n'hlahpham moenih,” a ti nah.
30 As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.
Hekah a thui vanbangla amah te muep a tangnah uh.
31 Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amah aka tangnah Judah rhoek taengah, “Kai kah olka ah na naeh atah kai kah hnukbang taktak la na om uh.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
Oltak te na ming uh van daengah ni oltak loh nangmih n'loeih sak eh,” a ti nah.
33 They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set free?’”
Te dongah Jesuh amah te, “Kaimih tah Abraham kah tiingan la ka om uh tih sal ka bi uh noek moenih. Metlam lae nang loh aka loeih la na om uh ni na ti?” a ti na uh.
34 Jesus answered them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, tholh aka saii boeih tah tholh kah sal la om.
35 Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity. (aiōn g165)
Sal tah im ah kumhal duela a naeh moenih, capa tah kumhal duela naeh ta. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.
Te dongah capa loh nangmih n'loeih sak atah aka loeih la rhep na om uh ni.
37 I know that you are sons of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word has not taken hold in you.
Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh tila ka ming. Tedae kai kah olka he nangmih ah a om pawt dongah kai ngawn hamla nan mae uh.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father. And you do what you have seen with your father.”
Kai loh Pa taengkah ka hmuh te ka thui dae nangmih tah na pa taengkah na yaak uh te na saii uh,” a ti nah.
39 They responded and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then do the works of Abraham.
Te dongah Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Kaimih napa tah Abraham ni,” a ti uh. Jesuh loh amih te, “Abraham kah ca la na om uh koinih Abraham kah khoboe te na saii uh ni.
40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
Tedae kai Pathen taeng lamkah oltak ka yaak tih nangmih taengah aka thui hlang te ngawn ham na mae uh coeng. Abraham loh he tlam he a saii moenih.
41 You do the works of your father.” Therefore, they said to him: “We were not born out of fornication. We have one father: God.”
Nangmih loh na pa bisai te na saii uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Kaimih he cukhalhnah kah a sak moenih. A pa pakhat Pathen ka khueh uh,” a ti uh.
42 Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.
Jesuh loh amih te, “Pathen te na pa la om koinih kai loh Pathen taeng lamkah ka lo tih ka pawk coeng dongah kai nan lungnah uh ham om. Kai kamah lamloh ka pawk pawt tih anih long ni kai n'tueih.
43 Why do you not recognize my speech? It is because you are not able to hear my word.
Ba dongah kai kah olcal te na ming uh pawh. Kai kah olka te hnatun ham na coeng uh pawt dongah ni.
44 You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.
Na pa lamkah rhaithae la na om uh rhoe tih na pa kah hoehhamnah te saii ham na ngaih uh. Anih te a cuekca lamkah hlang aka ngawn ni. A khuiah oltak a om pawt dongah oltak ah pai pawh. Laithae neh laithae napa la om tih a cal vaengah a laithae te a phoe.
45 But if I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
Tedae kai loh oltak ka thui dongah kai nan tangnah uh pawh.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? If I speak the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
Nangmih ah unim kai kah tholh aka toeltham? Oltak ka thui atah balae tih kai nan tangnah uh pawh?
47 Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: because you are not of God.”
Pathen taeng lamkah aka om loh Pathen kah olka te a hnatun. Te dongah na hnatun uh pawt khaw Pathen kah hut la na om uh pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
48 Therefore, the Jews responded and said to him, “Are we not correct in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you have a demon?”
Judah rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Nang he Samaria hlang ni, rhaithae na kaem tila ka thui uh te a thuem moenih a?” a ti na uh.
49 Jesus responded: “I do not have a demon. But I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me.
Jesuh loh, “Rhaithae ka kaem moenih, a pa te ni ka hinyah dae nangmih loh kai yah nan bai uh.
50 But I am not seeking my own glory. There is One who seeks and judges.
Kai loh kamah thangpomnah ka mae moenih. Tedae aka toem tih lai aka tloek te om ngawn.
51 Amen, amen, I say to you, if anyone will have kept my word, he will not see death for eternity.” (aiōn g165)
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui. Khat khat loh kai ol a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah hmu loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
52 Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’ (aiōn g165)
Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Rhaithae na kaem te hnap ka ming uh. Abraham neh tonghma rhoek te duek coeng dae nang mai loh, ‘Khat khat loh kai ol te a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah ten voel mahpawh,’ na ti. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?”
A pa Abraham lakah tanglue la na om pawt nim? Anih khaw duek coeng, tonghma rhoek khaw duek uh coeng. Namah te u lam nim na ngai uh?” a ti na uh.
54 Jesus responded: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your God.
Jesuh loh, “Kai loh kamah ka thangpom koinih kai kah thangpomnah te a honghi la om ni. Kai aka thangpom tah a pa ni. Amah te nangmih loh, ‘Mamih kah Pathen ni,’ na ti uh.
55 And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
Amah te na ming uh pawt cakhaw kai tah amah te ka ming. Amah ka ming pawt te ka thui koinih nangmih phek la laithae la ka om ni. Tedae amah te ka ming tih a ol te ka kuem coeng.
56 Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad.”
Na pa Abraham loh kai kah khohnin a hmuh ham te a kohoe tih a hmuh vaengah omngaih,” a ti nah.
57 And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have seen Abraham?”
Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Kum sawmnga na lo hlan dae Abraham na hmuh pawn a?” a ti na uh.
58 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.”
Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, Abraham a om hlanah ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
59 Therefore, they took up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and he departed from the temple.
Te vaengah amah te dae ham lungto a rhuh uh. Tedae Jesuh loh a thuh tak tih bawkim lamkah vik cet.
