John 1
1 In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God.
A tongcuek ah Ol om tih ol tah Pathen neh om. Te dongah ol tah Pathen ni.
2 This same was in the beginning with God.
Anih tah a tongcuek ah Pathen neh om.
3 All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.
A cungkuem he anih rhangneh om tih anih pawt atah khat khaw om thai pawh.
4 In it was life, and that life was the light of men.
Anih tah hing tih a khuiah hingnah om. Tekah hingnah te khaw hlang kah vangnah la om.
5 And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not.
Te phoeiah vangnah tah a hmuep khuiah sae tih a hmuep loh anih buem pawh.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang tueih, a ming ah Johan te phoe.
7 This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue.
Anih tah vangnah kawng te laipai ham, anih rhangneh hlang boeih loh a tangnah ham laipai la ha pawk.
8 He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
Anih te vangnah la om pawt dae vangnah kawng aka phong ham ni.
9 This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
Vangnah taktak tah om. Te tah hlang boeih aka tue ham diklai la ha pawk.
10 He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not.
Diklai ah amah om tih anih rhangneh diklai he om dae diklai loh amah te ming pawh.
11 He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
Amah rhoek taengah a pawk pah dae, amah rhoek loh anih te doe uh pawh.
12 But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name.
Tedae anih aka doe boeih neh, anih ming te aka tangnah rhoek tah Pathen ca la om ham saithainah a paek coeng.
13 Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God.
Amih tah thii kah, pumsa huengaihnah nen moenih, hlang kah huengaihnah nen moenih, tedae Pathen kah a cun rhoek ni.
14 And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
Te phoeiah Ol tah pumsa la coeng tih mamih khuiah om. Te dongah a thangpomnah te m'hmuh uh. Te tah oltak neh lungvatnah aka bae Pa taeng lamkah khueh duen thangpomnah ni.
15 Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I.
Johan loh anih kawng te a phong vaengah pang tih, “Kai hnukah aka pawk tah kai hmaiah om tih kai lakah lamhma la om'” ka ti te anih coeng ni,” a ti.
16 And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace.
A soepnah lamloh lungvatnah sokah lungvatnah khaw mamih loh boeih n'dang uh coeng.
17 For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ.
Moses lamloh olkhueng m'paek tih, lungvatnah neh oltak tah Khrih Jesuh lamloh ha thoeng.
18 No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
Pathen te ana hmuh noek moenih, a napa kah rhang dongah aka om Pathen kah khueh duen amah tah tueng coeng.
19 Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou?
Jerusalem kah Judah rhoek loh khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te Johan taengah a tueih uh tih, “Nang ulae?” tila a dawt uh. Te vaengah Johan kah a phong tah he coeng ni.
20 And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ.
Te vaengah a phong tih a basa moenih. Te dongah, “Kai tah Khrih moenih,” tila a phong.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
Te vaengah amah te, “Te koinih ulae? Nang Elijah a?” a ti na uh. Tedae, “Kai moenih,” a ti nah. Nang te tonghma nim ca? a ti nah vaengah, “Moenih,” a ti nah.
22 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe?
Te dongah amah te, “U nim ca? kaimih aka tueih rhoek taengah ollannah ka paek uh hamla namah kawng te metlam na thui eh?” a ti na uh.
23 He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias.
Te daengah, “Kai tah tonghma Isaiah loh a thui bangla ‘Boeipa kah longpuei te dueng uh laeh’ tila khosoek ah aka pang ol ni,” a ti nah.
24 Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises.
Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek taengah aka om rhoek te a tueih uh.
25 And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?
Te vaengah amah a dawt uh tih, “Khrih la na om pawt atah balae tih na nuem? Nang te Elijah moenih, tonghma bal moenih,” a ti uh.
26 Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not.
Johan loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai loh tui ah kan nuem. Nangmih lakli ah aka pai te na hmat uh moenih.
27 He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose.
Anih te kai hnukah ha pawk dae a khokhom rhui ka hlam ham pataeng a koihhilh la ka om moenih,” a ti nah.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize.
He rhoek he tah Jordan rhalvangan kah Bethany ah om. Te rhoek ah Johan loh a nuem khaw om coeng.
29 The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world.
A vuenhnin ah a taengla Jesuh ha pawk te a hmuh tih, “Pathen kah tuca ke, anih loh diklai kah tholhnah te a phueih.
30 This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.
Kai loh, ‘Kai hnukah aka pawk hlang tah kai hmaiah om coeng, kai lakah lamhma la a om dongah,’ ka ti te tah amah coeng ni.
31 And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water.
Kai khaw amah he kana ming pawh. Tedae Israel taengah a tueng ham dongah ni amah ha pawk vaengah kai loh tui ah ka nuem,” a ti.
32 So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him,
Te phoeiah Johan loh a phong tih, “Mueihla tah vahu bangla vaan lamkah ha rhum tih anih soah a om te ka hmuh coeng,” a ti.
33 And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost.
Amah te ka hmat moenih. Tedae tui ah nuem ham kai aka tueih loh kai taengah, “A soah mueihla rhum tih a om thil te na hmuh. Anih tah Mueihla Cim dongah aka nuem la om,” a ti.
34 And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God.
Kai loh ka hmuh coeng dongah Pathen capa tah anih ni tite ka phong coeng.
35 The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples.
A vuen ah Johan neh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit tah koep pai,
36 And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God.
Jesuh a caeh te a sawt doeah, “Pathen kah tuca ke,” a ti nah.
37 And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus.
Te vaengah hnukbang panit loh anih kah a thui te a yaak rhoi tih Jesuh a vai rhoi.
38 Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou?
Jesuh te a mael vaengah amih rhoi a vai rhoi te a hmuh tih, “Balae na mae?” a ti nah. Te rhoi long khaw amah te, “Rhabbi, “[Te tah saya ni a thuingaih a ti], melam na naeh?” a ti na rhoi.
39 He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre.
Amih rhoi te, “Ha lo lamtah so rhoi lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah cet rhoi tih a rhaeh nah te a hmuh rhoi. Tedae khonoek parha tluk a lo coeng dongah tekah khohnin ah tah amah taengah rhaeh rhoi.
40 Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him.
Johan taengkah a yaak rhoi khuikah pakhat tah Simon Peter kah a manuca Andrew khaw om tih amah a vai rhoi.
41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ.
Te long tah a maya Simon te a hmuh vaengah lamhma la, “Messiah [Te tah Khrih ni a thuingaih], ka hmuh rhoi coeng,” a ti nah.
42 And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
Anih te Jesuh taengah a khuen tih amah a hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nang tah Johan capa Simon ni, nang he Kephas [Te tah Peter tila a thuingaih] la n'khue ni,” a ti nah.
43 The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me.
A vuen ah Galilee la caeh hamla a ngaih. Te vaengah Philip a hmuh tih Jesuh loh anih te, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah.
44 Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter.
Philip tah Peter neh Andrew kah a kho Bethsaida lamkah ni.
45 Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth.
Philip loh Nathanael te a hmuh vaengah a taengah, “Moses neh tonghma rhoek loh Olkhueng khuiah a daek, Nazareth kah Joseph capa Jesuh te ka hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nah.
46 Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see.
Te vaengah Nathanael loh Philip taengah, “Nazareth lamkah a then khat khaw om thai a?” a ti nah. Philip loh amah te, “Ha lo lamtah so lah,” a ti nah.
47 Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile.
Jesuh loh amah taengah Nathanael ha pawk te a hmuh vaengah, “Israel taktak la ke anih dongah tuengkhuepnah om pawh,” tila anih te a thui.
48 Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee.
Nathanael loh, “Metlam kai nan ming?” a ti nah vaengah amah te Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Philip loh nang te n'khue tom kah, thaibu hmuiah na om vaengah ni nang kan hmuh coeng,” a ti nah.
49 Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel.
Nathanael loh Jesuh te, “Rhabbi, nang tah Pathen capa ni, namah tah Israel manghai ni,” a ti nah.
50 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih a doo tih, “Thaibu hmuiah nang kan hmuh te nang taengah kan thui dongah na tangnah nama? A tanglue rhoek te na hmuh bitni,” a ti nah.
51 And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, vaan te ong uh vetih Pathen kah puencawn rhoek loh hlang capa a rhum thil neh a luei tak te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
