John 11
1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters Mary and Martha.
Lazaruh ngmingnaki am khyaihki cun Bethanih mlüha veki. Acuna Bethanih mlüh cun Marih ja a na Matah ami venaka kyaki.
2 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.
Hina Marih cun (A na Lazaruh am khyaihki) ksi ng’ui am Jesuh jut lü a khaw a lusam am xuh petki.
3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus: “Lord, your close friend is sick.”
Lazaruha ci xawi naw, “Bawipa aw, na mhlänak na püi am khyaih ve” ti lü Jesuh ani cük.
4 When Jesus heard the news he said, “The end result of this sickness will not be death. Through this God's glory will be revealed so that the Son of God may be glorified.”
Jesuh naw acun ksing lü, “Acuna natnak cun thihnak vaia natnak am ni; Pamhnama hlüngtainak a ngdangnak vaia kyaki ni, ahina phäha Pamhnama Capa a ngming hlüngtai khai” a ti.
5 Even though Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
Jesuh naw Matah, a na Marih ja Lazaruh cun aktäa jah mhläkphyanaki.
6 and had heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained where he was for two more days.
Acunakyase, Lazaruh am khyaihki ti a ngjak käna pi am cit lü, a venaka mhnüp nghngih ve hamki.
7 Then he told the disciples, “Let's return to Judea.”
Acun käna, axüisaw hea üng, “Judah khawa mi cit be vai u” a ti.
8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, just a few days ago the Jews were trying to stone you. Do you really want to go back there now?”
Axüisawe naw, “Rabbi, ahlana Judahe naw lung am ning khawng hlükie; acuia na cit hlü betüki aw?” ami ti.
9 “Aren't there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus replied.
Jesuh naw, “Khaw mhnüp mat üng naji xaleinghngih lawki, am niki aw. Mhnüpa cit hükia khyang ta khawmdeka kvai hmuh lü am ngsukngvän khawi.
10 “If you walk during the day you don't stumble because you can see where you're going by the light of this world. But if you walk during the night you stumble because you have no light.”
Acunsepi, mthana a ceh hü üng akvai am vekia kyase, ngsukngvänei khawiki” ti lü, a jah msang.
11 After telling them this, he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm going to go there and wake him up!”
Acun a pyen päng ja, “Mi püi u Lazaruh ipki; ipki mtho be khaia ka cit khai” a ti.
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he's sleeping then he'll get better.”
Axüisawe naw, “Bawipa aw, a ih üng ta daw law be khai ni” ami ti.
13 Jesus had been referring to the death of Lazarus, but the disciples thought he meant actual sleep.
Jesuh naw a thiha mawng a pyen kyaw, amimi naw ipei sawxatkia ami ngaih u.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Acunakyase, Jesuh naw, “Lazaruh thiki” ti lü angsinga a jah mtheh.
15 For your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, because now you will be able to trust in me. Let's go and see him.”
“Acuia am ka ve hin nami jumnak vaia, nami phäh ka jeki; acunsepi a veia mi cit vai u” a ti.
16 Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, “Let's go too so we can die with him.”
Thomah (Angphia ami sui) naw a püi he üng, “A thihnak üng thi hnga khaia, Saja am atänga mi cit vai u” a ti.
17 When he arrived, Jesus learned that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
Jesuh a pha law üng, Lazaruh ami k’uhnak mhnüp kphyü law päng se a hmuh.
18 Bethany was just two miles from Jerusalem,
Bethanih mlüh cun Jerusalem mlüh üngkhyüh mäng nghngih bang thuki.
19 and many Jews had come to console Mary and Martha at the loss of their brother.
Ani be thi se, Judahe cun naw jah mbawikyahpüi khaiea Matah ja Mariha veia lawkie.
20 When Martha found out that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
Matah naw Jesuh pha law hlüki ti a ngjak üng do khaia citki. Acunüng Marih cun ima a na veki.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.
Matah naw Jesuh üng, “Bawipa aw, ahia na vea ta ka be am thi khai sü.
22 But I'm certain that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
“Tuh pi Pamhnama veia na kthäh naküt Pamhnam naw ning pe khai ti ka ksingki” a ti.
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesuh naw, “Na be tho law be khai” a ti.
24 “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day,” Martha answered.
Matah naw, “Akpäihnaka khawmhnüp üng tho law be khai ti ka ksingki” a ti.
25 Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who trust in me will live, even though they die.
Jesuh naw, “Kei hin thawhnak be ja xünnaka ka kyaki ni. Kei na jumeiki naküt cun xüng khai, a thih üngpi angsäia xüng khai;
xüng lü, kei na jumki naküt cun itüha pi am thi ti u. Ka pyen na jumki aw?” a ti. (aiōn g165)
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one expected to come to this world.”
Matah naw “Bawipa aw, jum veng. Nang cun khawmdeka law khaia Mesijah, Mhnama Capaa na kyaki ti jum veng” a ti.
28 When she had said this, she went and told her sister Mary in private, “The Teacher's here, and asking to see you.”
Acukba a pyen päng ja Matah cit lü a ci Marih anghmüa khü lü, “Bawipa pha law lü ning khü ve” a ti.
29 As soon as she heard, Mary quickly got up and went to see him.
Marih naw a ngjak ja tho law ngxit lü Jesuh hmuh khaia citki.
30 Jesus hadn't arrived in the village yet. He was still at the place where Martha had met him.
Jesuh cun ngnam k'uma am lut law ham lü, Matah naw a va hmuhnak, a venaka ve hamki.
31 The Jews who had been comforting Mary in the home saw how she'd got up quickly and left. So they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb to weep there.
Im k'uma mbawikyahpüi u lü awmki hea Judahe naw Marih angxita tho law lü va kco se ami hmuh üng, lungdüa kyap khaia cit hlükia ngai lü läki he.
32 When Mary arrived at the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.”
Marih cun Jesuha venaka a va pha üng, a hmuh ja a khaw kunga kawp lü, “Bawipa aw, hia na vea ta ka be am thi khai sü” a ti.
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying as well, he was very troubled and upset.
Mariha kyah ja läk lawkiea kyah a hmuh üng Jesuha mlung aktäa na lü pukseki.
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
Jesuh naw, “A yawk hawia nami tak ni?” a ti. Amimi naw, “Bawipa aw law lü teng lawa” ami ti.
35 Then Jesus cried too.
Jesuh naw hmu lü kyapki.
36 “See how much he loved him,” the Jews said.
Judahe naw, “Teng u, Lazaruh ihlawka a mhläkphyanak ni” ami ti.
37 But some of them said, “If he could open the eyes of a blind man, couldn't he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
Acunsepi avang naw, “Hin, amikmü pi vaisak beki am niki aw. Lazaruh pi käh thi khaia am pawh theiki aw?” ami ti.
38 Very troubled, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone placed at the entrance.
Jesuh aktäa pukse lü, ng’ui hnün da lawki. Acuna ng’utnak cun mdek khüia kya lü lung am ami khaih.
39 “Remove the stone,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, said, “Lord, by now there will be a terrible smell, for he's been dead for four days.”
Jesuh naw, “Lung loa” a ti. Thikia a ci Matah naw, “Bawipa aw, a thihnak mhnüp kphyü law pängki, tuh ta thu päng khai ni” a ti.
40 “Didn't I tell you that if you trusted me you would see God's glory?” Jesus replied.
Jesuh naw, “Na jum üng Pamhnama hlüngtainak na hmu khai, ti lü am ka ning mtheh pängki aw?” a ti.
41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked heavenwards, and said, “Father, thank you for listening to me.
Lung lo u se, Jesuh naw khana jeng mang lü, “Ka Pa aw, ka ngthu na ngaiha phäh, ning je na veng,
42 I know you always listen to me. I said this because of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me.”
“Aläa ka ngthu na ngai khawiki ti ksing veng; acunsepi hin üng veki khyange naw kei hin nang naw na na tüih law ti ami jumnak thei vai ka pyen ni” a ti.
43 After saying this, Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Acukba a pyen päng ja, “Lazaruh, lut lawa” ti lü, angsanga ngpyangki.
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of linen, and with a cloth around his face. “Unbind him and set him free,” Jesus told them.
Akthi cun a kut khaw hlawpnaka jih ja a hmai hlawpnaka jih mahmaha lut law se Jesuh naw, “Sut u lü, cehsak ua” a ti.
45 Consequently many of the Jews who had come to comfort Mary and who saw what Jesus did put their trust in him.
Marih vepüikiea Judah avang naw Jesuha bilawh hmu u lü Jesuh jumkie.
46 But others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Acunsepi avang ta Phariseea veia cit u lü, Jesuh naw a pawhmsahe ami jah va mtheh.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the ruling council. “What shall we do?” they asked. “This man is doing many miracles.
Ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw Kawngci ngvaie jah ngkhämpüi u lü, “Ihawkba mi pawh khai? Hina khyang naw müncanksee khawhah pawh ve.
48 If we allow him to continue, everybody will believe in him, and then the Romans will destroy both the Temple and our status as a nation.”
Ahikba mi hawihin üng ta, khyang naküt naw ani jum law u se, acunüng, Romah ngvaie naw mi Temple ja mi khyangmjü jah kpyükpye law khaie ni” ami ti.
49 “You don't understand anything!” said Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
Ami hlawnga ka khyang mat Kaiphah, acuna kum üng Ktaiyü Ngvaisäih naw, “Ise nami yawkie ni,
50 “Can't you see that it's better for you that one man die for the people so that the whole nation won't be destroyed?”
mi khyangmjü naküt a pyüpye kthaka khyang mat a thih hin daw bawki ti am nami ksingki he aw” a ti.
51 He didn't say this on his own behalf, but as chief priest that year he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation.
Acuna ngthu cun amät naw mhnün lü a pyen sawxat am ni. Acuna kum üng Ktaiyü Ngvai säiha kyase, Jesuh cun Judah khyang mjüea phäh a thih vaia mawng malam a pyena kyaki.
52 And this was not just for the Jewish nation, but for all the scattered children of God so that they might be gathered together and be made into one.
Acuna khyange däka phäh am ni lü, khawmdeka khana ngpyeng hükia Pamhnama khyange cun pumsa mata a jah mkhämnak be vai phäha pi kyaki.
53 From that time on they plotted how they might kill Jesus.
Acuna mhnüp üngkhyüh Judah ngvaie naw Jesuh hnim khaia cengkie.
54 So Jesus did not travel openly among the Jews but went to a town called Ephraim in the region near the desert and stayed there with his disciples.
Acunakyase, Jesuh cun Judahea khaw ksunga angdanga käh citcawn hü ti lü, acun üngka naw mkyangkhawa, mlüh mat Epharam ami tia citeiki. Acuia axüisaw he am awmki he.
55 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover, and many people went from the countryside to Jerusalem to purify themselves for the Passover.
Judahea Lätnak Pawi cäh law se, khyang khawkän ami khaw üngka naw Jerusalem mlüha amimät naw khawning ngcingcaihnak pawi am a pha law ham üng bi khaiea jeng citkie.
56 People were looking for Jesus and talking about him as they stood in the Temple. “What do you think?” they asked each other. “Isn't he coming to the festival?”
Jesuh sui hü u lü, Temple k’uma ngkhäm u lü, “Pawi pawhnaka am law khai aw, ihawkba nami ngaiki ni?” ti lü ami püi kthäkie.
57 The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it so they could arrest him.
Ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw, Jesuh ami mannak thei vaia, au pi, a venak ksingki naw a pyen vaia ami jah mtheh.
