John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Te phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik pongpa. Amah te Judah rhoek loh ngawn ham a mae uh dongah Judea ah caeh ham ngaih pawh.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Tedae Judah rhoek kah dungtlung khotue om tom coeng.
3 And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
Te dongah a mana rhoek loh amah te, “He lamloh thoeih lamtah Judea la cet laeh, te daengah ni nang kah na saii bibi te na hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh van eh.
4 For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
A huep la a saii vaengah amah te sayalhnah neh om ham aka tlap pakhat khaw a om moenih. He rhoek na saii mai vetih diklai ah na phoe mai mako,” a ti na uh.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
A manuca rhoek long khaw amah te a tangnah uh moenih.
6 Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai kah a tue tah ha pai hlan, dae nangmih kah a tue tah sikim la vawp vawp om.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet thai mahpawh, tedae kai tah a khoboe thae a khueh kawng te ka phong dongah m'hmuhuet.
8 Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
Nangmih tah khotue la cet uh. Kai tah hekah khotue la ka cet mahpawh, kai kah a tue tah soep hlan,” a ti nah.
9 When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
He rhoek he a thui phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik naeh.
10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
Tedae A mana rhoek tah khotue la a caeh uh phoeiah tah amah khaw koep cet. Tedae a huep la duem om tih loloh moe pawh.
11 The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?
Khotue vaengah Judah rhoek loh Jesuh te a toem uh tih, “Anih te melam a om?” a ti uh.
12 And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.
Te dongah anih kawng te hlangping kohuetnah la muep om uh. A ngen loh, “Hlang then ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Pawh, hlangping te a rhaithi coeng,” a ti uh.
13 Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
Tedae Judah rhoek a rhihnah dongah a kawng te sayalh la thui pawh.
14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Tedae khotue bangli vaengah Jesuh te bawkim la cet tih a thuituen.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
Te dongah Judah rhoek tah a ngaihmang uh tih, “He long he a cang muehla metlam ca a ming?” a ti uh.
16 Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai kah thuituennah tah kamah kah pawt tih kai aka tueih kah ni.
17 If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Khat khat loh a kongaih te saii ham a ngaih atah thuituennah he Pathen lamkah a? Kai kamah lamkah a ka thui? tite a ming ni.
18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
Amah lamkah aka thui loh amah thangpomnah te a toem. Tedae anih aka tueih kah thangpomnah aka toem long tah, a thuem la a om dongah anih ah boethae om pawh.
19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
Moses loh nangmih te olkhueng m'paek moenih a? Tedae nangmih olkhueng aka vai pawt loh balae tih kai ngawn ham nan mae uh?” a ti nah.
20 Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
Hlangping long khaw, “Rhaithae na kaem, nang ngawn ham aka mae te unim,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Bibi pakhat ka saii hatah boeih na ngaihmang uh.
22 Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
Moses loh nangmih te yahvinrhetnah ham m'paek. Te te Moses kah moenih a pa rhoek kah ni. Te dongah Sabbath ah hlang kah yahvin na rhet uh.
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
Yahvinrhetnah he hlang loh Sabbath ah a dang vaengah Moses kah olkhueng te a phae pawt atah, Sabbath ah hlang pum pakhat sading la ka khueh dongah nim kai taengah na thin a toek uh?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
A hmanhu ah laitloek uh boeh. Tedae laitloeknah he a dueng la laitloek uh,” a ti nah.
25 Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Te dongah Jerusalem kah a ngen loh, “Ngawn ham a toem uh te anih pawt nim?
26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
sayalh la a thui dae amah tah a voek uh moenih ca he. Anih he Khrih ni tila boei rhoek loh rhep a ming uh nim?
27 But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Te dongah anih he me lamkah ha thoeng khaw m'ming. Tedae Khrih halo vaengkah tah me lamkah a thoeng khaw, a mingpha moenih,” a ti uh.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
Te dongah Jesuh loh bawkim khuiah a thuituen vaengah pang tih, “Kai nan ming uh tih me lamkah ka thoeng khaw na ming uh. Kamah lamkah ka lo moenih. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak ni. Anih te na ming uh moenih.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Kai loh amah te ka ming. Amah taengah ka om tih te long te kai n'tueih,” a ti nah.
30 They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Te dongah amah tuuk ham a mae uh dae a tue te a pai hlan dongah anih te kut hlah uh thil pawh.
31 But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
Tedae hlangping lamkah a yet loh amah te a tangnah tih, “Khrih ha lo vaengkah anih kah a saii lakah miknoek khaw muep saii mahpawt a?” a ti uh.
32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
Anih kawng neh hlangping kah a kohuet te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te dongah anih tuuk ham tueihyoeih rhoek te khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh a tueih uh.
33 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah a tue kolkalh ni ka om pueng vetih kai aka tueih taengla ka cet ni.
34 You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
Kai nan toem uh vaengah kamah nan hmu uh mahpawh. Te vaengah ka om nah khaw nam pha uh thai mahpawh,” a ti nah.
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amamih te, “He he mela caeh ham nim a cai tih mamih loh anih m'hmuh pawt eh? Greek kah canglak mupoe taengah cet la cai pawt nim? Greek rhoek te thuituen ham nim?
36 What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?
‘Kai he nan toem uh cakhaw kai na hmu uh mahpawh. Te dongah ka om nah khaw na pha uh thai pawh,’ a ti te mebang ol nim te,” a ti uh.
37 And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
Khotue tung kah hnukkhueng khohnin ah Jesuh te pai tih a pang doela, “Khat khat loh tui a hal atah kai taengah ha lo saeh lamtah o saeh.
38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Cacim loh a thui bangla, kai aka tangnah tah a bung khui lamkah tuiva te tui hing la long ni,” a ti.
39 Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Tedae amah aka tangnah rhoek loh a dang ham Mueihla kawng te a thui. Jesuh a thangpom hlan dongah Mueihla tah ana pae hlan.
40 Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
Te dongah hekah olka he hlangping lamkah a yaak uh, “Anih tah tonghma tangtang ni,” a ti uh.
41 Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
A ngen loh, “Anih he Khrih ni,” a ti uh. Tedae a ngen loh, “Galilee lamkah Khrih thoeng mahnim.
42 Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
Cacim loh, ‘David tiingan lamkah neh David a om nah Bethlehem kho lamkah ni Khrih ha pawk eh,’ a ti moenih a?” a ti uh.
43 So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
Tedae anih kongah hlangping te paekboenah om.
44 And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
Amih khuikah a ngen loh amah te tuuk ham a ngaih uh. Tedae anih soah kut hlah uh pawh.
45 The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
Te vaengah tueihyoeih rhoek te khosoihham neh Pharisee rhoek taengla ha pawk uh. Te rhoek loh amih taengah, “Balae tih anih te nan khuen uh pawh?” a ti nah uh.
46 The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
Tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Hlang bangla cal pawh,” a ti na uh.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek loh amih te, “Nangmih khaw n'rhaithi uh pawn pawt nim?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Boei rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek khuikah khat khat loh anih te tangnah pawt nim?
49 But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
Tedae hlangping loh olkhueng a ming pawt te rhunkhuen la poeh,” a ti uh.
50 Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them: )
Amih taengah om tih hnukbuet ah Jesuh taengla aka pawk Nikodemu loh amih taengah,
51 Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
“A saii te amah lamloh lamhma la a yaak tih a ming pawt atah hlang te mamih kah olkhueng loh laitloek thil pawt maco?” a ti nah.
52 They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang khaw Galilee lamkah pawt nim? Galilee lamkah tonghma a thoeng noek pawt te khe lamtah ming saw,” a ti na uh.
53 And every man returned to his own house.
Te phoeiah amah im la rhip cet uh.
