John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Misong loihhaih poih phak tomhaih ni tarukto naah, Jesu loe kadueh Lazaru pathawkhaih Bethani avang to phak.
2 There a dinner was arranged in his honor. Martha helped serve the food while Lazarus sat at the table with Jesus and the others guests.
To avang ah nihcae mah anih han duembuh caakhaih sak pae o; Martha mah caaknaek to thongh pae: toe Lazaru loe caboi nuiah Anih hoi nawnto anghnut.
3 Mary brought a pint of pure nard perfume and anointed Jesus' feet, wiping them dry with her hair. The scent of the perfume filled the whole house.
To naah Meri mah, atho kana parai hmuihoih tui tabu maeto lak moe, Jesu ih khok to bawh pae pacoengah, a sam hoiah huk pae: to naah imthung ah hmuihoih tui to koi.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk thung ih maeto, Anih angphat taak han kaom Simon capa, Juda Iskariot mah,
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
tikhoe kamtang kaminawk na paek hanah hae hmuihoih tui hae phoisa cumvai thumto hoiah na zaw ai loe? tiah a naa.
6 He wasn't saying this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was the one who looked after the disciples' money and he often took some for himself.
Kamtang kaminawk abomh han koeh pongah anih mah hae lok hae thuih ih na ai ni; anih loe kamqu ah oh, phoisa pakuemkung ah oh moe, phoisa to angmah han patoh kami ah oh pongah ni to tiah lok a thuih.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
Jesu mahnongpata loe angmah hmawk ah om nasoe: Kai aphumhaih ni han ih ni hae hmuihoih tui hae a suek.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Kamtang kaminawk loe nangcae hoi nawnto oh o poe; toe Kai loe nangcae hoi nawnto ka om poe mak ai, tiah a naa.
9 A large crowd had found out that he was there. They came there not just to see Jesus but because they wanted to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead.
Anih toah oh, tiah Judahnawk mah panoek o naah, Jesu hnuk han ih khue ai ah, duekhaih thung hoi anih mah pathawk ih Lazaru doeh hnuk han koeh o pongah, paroeai kaminawk angzoh o.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Kalen koek qaima mah Lazaru doeh hum hanah pacaeng;
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
Lazaru kawng pongah paroeai Judah kaminawk mah qaima to caeh o taak moe, Jesu tanghaih to tawnh o.
12 The following day the crowds of people who had come for the Passover festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Khawnbang phak naah loe, poihkung ah angzo paroeai kaminawk mah, Jesu Jerusalem ah angzoh, tiah thaih o.
13 They cut off palm branches and went to welcome him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one coming in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the king of Israel.”
Bawksawk qam hoi kanghmong thing tanghang to sin o moe, anih dawt hanah caeh o, Hosanna: Angraeng hmin hoi angzo Israel Siangpahrang loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah hang o.
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
Jesu mah laa hrang to hnuk naah, a nuiah angthueng;
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
Zion canu, zii hmah: khenah, na Siangpahrang loe laa hrang nuiah angthueng moe, angzoh, tiah tarik ih oh.
16 At the time, Jesus' disciples did not understand what these things meant. It was only later when he was glorified that they realized what had happened had been prophesied and applied to him.
Tangsuek naah loe a hnukbang kaminawk mah hae hmuennawk hae thaih o kop ai: toe Jesu to pakoeh ah oh naah, hae hmuennawk loe Anih kawng ni tarik o, hae hmuennawk loe Anih han ih ni sak pae o, tito nihcae mah panoek o.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Anih mah Lazaru to taprong thung hoiah kawk moe, duekhaih thung hoiah pathawk let naah kaom paroeai kaminawk loe, Anih hnukung ah oh o.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Anih mah dawnrai hmuen sak, tito nihcae mah thaih o naah, anih hnuk hanah caeh o.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
To pongah Farasinawk mah kawbang doeh na sah o thai ai boeh, khen oh, long loe Anih hnukah ni caeh boeh, tiah a thuih o.
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Poih tue ah Sithaw bok han angzo kaminawk thungah Griknawk doeh athum o toeng:
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
to kaminawk loe Kalili prae Bethsaida avang ah om kami, Philip khaeah angzoh o moe, Patukkung, Jesu hnuk han ka koeh o, tiah tahmenhaih hnik o.
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
Philip loe caeh moe, Andru khaeah thuih pae: to pacoengah Andru hoi Philip Jesu khaeah caeh hoi moe, thuih pae hoi let.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kami Capa pakoehhaih atue loe phak boeh.
24 I tell you the truth: unless a grain of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains just one grain. But if it dies, it produces many more grains of wheat.
Loktang to, loktang ah, kang thuih o, Cangti loe long ah krak moe, dueh ai nahaeloe, angmah toengroeng ah ni oh: toe a duek naah loe, athaih paroeai athaih.
25 If you love your own life you will lose it, but if you don't love your own life in this world you will keep your life forever. (aiōnios g166)
Mi kawbaktih doeh a hinghaih palung kami loe, anghmaa tih; hae long nuiah a hinghaih hnuma kami loe dungzan hinghaih to toep tih. (aiōnios g166)
26 If you want to serve me you need to follow me. My servants will be where I am, and my Father will honor anyone who serves for me.
Mi kawbaktih doeh Ka tok sah kami loe, Ka hnukah bang nasoe; Ka ohhaih ahmuen ah, Ka tamna doeh om toeng tih: Ka tok sah kami loe Kam Pa mah pakoeh tih.
27 Now I am troubled. What should I say? ‘Father, save me from this coming time of suffering?’ No, for this is why I came—to go through this time of suffering.
Vaihi ka poekhaih angpho; timaw ka thuih han? Pa, hae atue thung hoiah na pahlong ah: toe hae tiah oh han ih ni, hae atue ah kang zoh.
28 Father, show the glory of your character.” A voice came from heaven, saying, “I have shown its glory, and I will show it again.”
Pa, na hmin to pakoeh ah, tiah a naa. To naah van hoiah, Ka pakoeh hmaek boeh, Ka pakoeh let han vop, tiah lok to angzoh.
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
To ahmuen ah angdoe kaminawk mah, To lok to thaih o naah, Khopazih, tiah thuih o: kalah kaminawk mah loe, Van kami mah lok a thuih pae, tiah thuih o.
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
Jesu mah hae lok loe kai han angzo ai, nangcae hanah ni angzoh.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Hae long loe vaihi lokcaek ah oh boeh: hae long angraeng haekhaih to om tih.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
Kai long ranui ah atoengh tahang naah, kaminawk boih kaimah khaeah ka zaeh han, tiah a naa.
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Hae lok loe, anih kawbangmaw due tih, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni.
34 The crowd responded, “The Law tells us that the Messiah will live forever, so how can you say the Son of man must be ‘lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of man’?” (aiōn g165)
To naah paroeai kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Kri loe dungzan ah caak poe tih, tiah kaalok mah thuih ih lok to ka thaih o: nangmah loe kawbangmaw, Kami Capa to ranui ah bang o tih, tiah na thuih, hae Kami Capa loe mi maw? tiah pathim pae o. (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus replied, “The light is here with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that the darkness doesn't overtake you. Those who walk in the dark don't know where they're going.
To naah Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Aanghaih loe nawnetta thungah ni nangcae hoi nawn to oh. Aanghaih na tawnh o naah caeh oh, to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae nuiah vinghaih pha moeng tih: khoving thung caeh kami loe naa ah maw a caeh, tito panoek ai.
36 Put your trust in the light while you still have it so that you can become children of light.” When Jesus had told them this, he left and hid himself from them.
Aanghaih caa ah na oh o thai hanah, aanghaih na tawnh o naah, aanghaih to tang oh, tiah a naa. Hae loknawk a thuih pacoengah, Jesu mah nihcae to yae moe, caehtaak ving.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Anih mah nihcae hma ah paroeai dawnrai hmuen sak pae cadoeh, nihcae mah anih to tang o ai.
38 This fulfilled the message of Isaiah the prophet who said, “Lord, who has believed what we told them? To whom has the Lord's power been revealed?”
Angraeng, ka thuih o ih lok tang kami oh o maw? Angraeng ih ban loe mi khaeah maw amtueng? tiah tahmaa Isaiah mah thuih ih lok akoep han ih ni oh.
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
To pongah nihcae mah tang o thai ai, Isaiah mah,
40 “He blinded their eyes, and made their minds dull, so that their eyes would not see, and their minds would not think, and they would not turn to me—for if they did I would heal them.”
Anih mah nihcae mikmaengsak moe, nihcae ih palung amtaksak; to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae mah mik hoiah hnu o moeng tih, palung hoiah panoek o ueloe, amnlaem o tih, to naah kai mah nihcae to ngan ka tuisak moeng tih, tiah thuih let.
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
Isaiah mah, Anih lensawkhaih hnuk naah, Anih kawng to hae tiah thuih.
42 Even so many of the leaders did trust in him. However, they did not openly admit it because they did not want the Pharisees to expel them from the synagogue,
To tiah om cadoeh, paroeai ukkung ah kaom kaminawk mah anih to tang o; toe Farasinawk mah sineko thung hoiah haek moeng tih, tiah a poek o pongah, Anih kawng to nihcae mah taphong o ai.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Nihcae loe Sithaw mah pakoeh pongah kami mah pakoehhaih to koeh o kue.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
To naah Jesu mah, Kai tang kami loe Kai to tang ai, Kai patoehkung tang kami ah ni oh.
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
Kai khen kami loe Kai patoehkung to a hnuk.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Kai tang kaminawk, khoving thungah oh o han ai ah, Kai loe long ah kangzo aanghaih ah ka oh.
47 I don't judge anyone who hears my words but doesn't do what I say. I came to save the world, not to judge it.
Mi kawbaktih doeh ka lok to thaih moe, tang ai nahaeloe anih to lok ka caek mak ai: Kai loe long lokcaek hanah kang zo ai, long pahlong hanah ni kang zoh.
48 Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my words will be judged at the end-time judgment in accordance with what I have said.
Kai talawk ai moe, ka lok tahngai ai kami lokcaekkung maeto oh: Ka thuih ih lok mah anih to hnukkhuem niah lokcaek tih.
49 For I'm not speaking for myself but for my Father who sent me. He is the one who instructed me what to say and how to say it.
Kai loe kaimah koehah lok ka thui ai; toe ka thuih moe, ka patuk han ih lok loe kai patoehkung Pa mah ni ang paek.
