John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus went to Bethany, to the home of Lazarus who had been raised from the dead.
Khopi Kuwaang sa arok ngani, Jisu Bithani ni kata, erah hah ah heh ih tek nawa ngaaksaat siitta Lajaras hadaang angta.
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.
Neng loong ah ih Jisu raangtaan ih rangja phaksat songwaang rumta, erah di Martha ih roong sokboita; neng dung dowa Lajaras ah teebun reeni Jisu damdi roongtongta.
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.
Eno Meeri ih etumjaat nard banglak nawa hoon arah thuuthom thaangchaan thaang phontum ah piiwan haano Jisu lah ni lokwan taha, eno heh khoroon ih hut haatta. Phontum ah nokmong ni tummangmang ih tumwangta.
4 But one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who would later betray Jesus, asked,
Eno heliphante dung dowa wasiit, Judas Iskirot-Jisu mokwaante ah ih liita.
5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth three hundred denarii.”
[Erah than thaangchaan phontum ah ngunkholok chaajom doh sang ano changthih loong asuh ngun ah mamah lapheekoh eha?]
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.
Heh erah jengta ah changthih minchan ih tajengta, heh ehuh ang ah angno jengta. Ngunkhaak ah heh ih huita, eno erah dowa heh ih kamaakta.
7 “Don't criticize her,” Jesus replied. “She did this in preparation for the day of my burial.
Eno Jisu ih liita, [Meeri ah nak paklak an heh luulu thiinhaat an! Phontum ah nga mangbeng raang ih toomthiin ah.
8 You'll always have the poor here with you, but you won't always have me here.”
Changthih abah saarookwet ih sen damdoh ang ha, enoothong ngah ah saarookwet sen damdoh tatongrang.]
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.
Mih hantek ih Jisu Bithani ni ngeh japchaat rumta, erah thoidi Jisu jamboi luulu la angthang ih, Jisu ih tek nawa ngaakthingta Lajaras nep tup suh wang rumta.
10 So the chief priests planned to kill Lazarus as well,
Romwah phokhoh loong ah ih Lajaras nep tek haat suh chung rumta,
11 since it was because of him that many Jews were no longer following them but putting their trust in Jesus.
Lajaras ngaaksaat thoidi Jehudi loong ah ih ngoong awang jeng laboichaat thang ih Jisu reeni wangleh heh ah hanpi rumta.
12 The following day the crowds of people who had come for the Passover festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
Erah saalih adi Khopi Kuwaang ni wangte miloong ah ih Jisu Jerusalem ni wang ah japchaat rumta.
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.”
Erah thoidi miloong ah paam bangmong ah pi rum ano chomui karumta, eno riirumta, [Rangte rangphoong an! O Teesu mendi ra hala heh suh Rangte ih romse tamkoh ah! Rangte ih Ijirel Luuwang suh romseetam koh ah!]
14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, as Scripture says:
Rangteele ni raangha likhiik, Jisu ih moktoh ah japtup ano heh sakkhoh ni duutong ano kata,
15 “Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, riding a donkey's colt.”
[Jaion samnuthung dowa mina loong ah nakcho an! Sen Luuwang arah ra hala, moktoh khoni ra hala.]
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.
Erah tokdi heliphante loong ah ih tiim suh liiha ngeh ih tajat rumta; enoothong Jisu ah dong rangka kano ba; samthun rumta rangteele ni liiha ah heh suh liiha eno neng loong ah heh raangtaan mokah rumla ngeh ah.
17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb and raise him from the dead and were telling the story.
Mang beng nawa Jisu ih Lajaras tekchoi dokpoon ano ngaakthing thukta tupte miloong ah ih noongrep ni tumbaat kaat rumta.
18 That was the reason so many people went to meet Jesus—because they had heard about this miracle.
Paatjaajih reeraang kano miloong ah chomui wang rumta.
19 The Pharisees said to one other, “Look, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's running after him.”
Pharisi loong ah nengneng laktung di roongwaan rumta, [sok thaak an, seng ih tiim uh tami eke! Arah mongrep dowa mina loong ah ih helih tola phan rumha!]
20 Now some Greeks had come to the festival to worship.
Kuwaang mong adi Jerusalem ni rangsoom wangrum ta dung adi Grik nok hah mararah eje angta.
21 They came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we'd like to see Jesus.”
Neng loong ah Philip jiinni wang rumta (heh Galili nawa Bethsaida nok hah angta), neng loong ah ih heh suh li rumta, [Chuupha, seng Jisu tup suh liihi.]
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Then they both went to Jesus and told him.
Philip ih Andriu suh baatwan ano nengnyi wanyiinyi Jisu suh baatwan nyuuta.
23 Jesus replied, “The time has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
Eno Jisu ih nengnyi suh ngaakbaat nyuuta, [Mina Sah rangka saapoot ah amadi thok ehala.
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.
Ngah ih amiisak baat rumhala; raanteh ah hah nah wen ano latek thukka bah raanteh esiit laklak ang ah. Raanteh ah tek ih taano ba, hantektek ih dong tiik ah.
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)
O mina ih heh teewah roidong asuh mongmah ah erah mina ah ih mat haat ih ah; arah mongrep adoh o mina ih heh roidong ah lathunka mina rah ih mabah uh lathoonka roidong ah ban thiinha. (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.
O mina ih nga mootkaat suh enook e ah, heh nga lih jaatjaat phanjih, eno ba nga laksuh ah ngah maadoh angang heh uh erah doh roong angha. Eno nga mootkaat ah o kah ah erah seng Wah ih soomtu ih ah.
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.
[Amadi ngah mong rapne saamlang—eno ngah ih tiimjih li ang? Ngah ih emah tamli ang, ‘Ewah, nga chamchoh saapoot ah nakthok thukwe ho? Enoothong ngah erah raangtaan ih ra tahang—chamnaang saapoot ah chosuh ah.
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.”
Ewah, an men rangkajih ju toom ang ah!] Eno rang ni jeng arah chaatta, [Ngah ih heh rangka ah thoksiit halang, eno bolam uh emamah ih boot rangka thuk ang.]
29 The crowd that was standing there heard it. Some said it thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Erah di khoonchap rumta miloong ah ih japchaat ih rumta, eno mararah ih liita ranghuula, mararah ih liita, [Rangsah heh damdi roongwaan la!]
30 Jesus told them, “This voice spoke not for my sake, but for yours.
Enoothong Jisu ih baat rumta, [Erah jengla ah nga raang ih tah angka, erah sen loong raang ih jengla.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be thrown out.
Amadi, arah mongrep dande saapoot ah thok ehala, arah mongrep pante loong ah datsiit ih ah.
32 But when I am lifted up from the earth I will attract everyone to me.”
Eno, arah hah dowa ngah toonjoh hangdoh loongtang nga reenah thoksiit rumhang.] (
33 (He said this to point out the kind of death he was going to die.)
Jisu erah jengta ah heh mamah ih ti ah erah tiit ah baatta.)
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)
Miloong ah ih liita, [Seng Hootthe ih liiha Kristo ah saarootwet raang ih ething tong ah. Eno, sen ih, Mina Sah ah toonjoot jaatjaat ih ah ngeh ih mamah ih miili han?] Mina Sah rah o ah?” (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.
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Weephaak ah sen loong damdoh chomroe ba boot waktong ha. Erah raangtaan ih, weephaakla tok adoh sen khoom roh ih an laamang nah phokhoom an; tiimnge liidi laamang ni khoomte ih tajatka heh maani kala ngeh ah.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih, weephaak ah hanpi ih an, weephaak mina toom ang an.] Erah baat rumta lidi, Jisu ah neng loong reenawa doksoon kah ano hutong kata.
37 But despite all the miracles he had done in their presence, they still did not trust in Jesus.
Miloong ah pandi Jisu ih paatjaajih loong ah taat noisok rum abah uh, tahanpi rumta,
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?”
erah raangtaan ih Isaia khowah jengta ah amiisak ih toom ang raaha ngeh ah: [Teesu, seng ih baat hi tiitkhaap ah o ih hanpi ah? Teesu ih, hechaan hephaan ah o suh noisok ha?]
39 They were not able to trust him, and as a result they fulfilled what Isaiah also said:
Eno, neng loong ih tami hanpi rumta, Isaia khowah ih uh erah ah baatta,
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.”
[Rangte ih neng mik dookthuk ah, nengthung nengtak tajang thukka ang ah, tiimnge liidi neng mik ih naktoom tup ah, neng thung ih na toom jat ah ngeh ah, eno nga reenah uh deesiit esuh naktoom wang rumha, Rangte ih liita.]
41 Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and said this in reference to him.
Erah Isaia jengta, Jisu rangka ah tup ano heh tiit ah baatta.
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,
Erabah uh, Jehudi ngoong awang loong ih Jisu ah hanpi erumta, enoothong Pharisi loong ih Jehudi rangsoomnok nawa dokphan raacho ih wuusa ni tanaan waan rumta.
43 loving human admiration more than God's approval.
Eno neng loong ah ih Rangte ih gu nang ih mina ih gu ah jam rumta.
44 Jesus called out, “If you trust in me you're not just trusting in me but also in the one who sent me.
Jisu ih erongwah ih riibaat rumta, [O mina ih ngah hanpi rum halang, erah loong ah ih nga luulu tahanpi rumrang enoothong nga daapkaatte rah uh hanpi ih rumha.
45 When you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me.
O mina ih ngah tup ih halang, ngah daapkaatte ah uh etup eha.
46 I have come as a light shining into the world, so if you trust in me you won't remain in the dark.
Ngah arah mongrep adi weephaak likhiik ih ra tahang, nga hanpiite loong ah laamang mong nah naktoom tong rum ah ngeh ah.
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.
O mina ih nga tiitkhaap ah chaat ano lakapka bah, ngah ih heh tadande kang. Ngah mongrep dande tara rang, puipang esuh ra tahang.
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.
Enoothong o mina ih nga jeng lakapka nyia nga tiit ah edaan ih ah, heh dande wahoh wasiit je ah. Ngah jenglang jengkhaap ah ih rangthoon doh heh dande ah!
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.
Arah amiisak tiit baat hang, tiimnge liidi nga chaan nawa ih tajeng kang, ngah daapkaatte seng Wah ih emah ih jeng theng ngeh ih baat halang ah ba jenglang.
