John 7
1 AFTER these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, 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 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
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 doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew 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 unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway 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 testify 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 ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
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 words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
He rhoek he a thui phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik naeh.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto 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 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, 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 people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth 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 Howbeit no man spake 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 marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man 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 will do his will, 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 his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is 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 not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
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 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
Hlangping long khaw, “Rhaithae na kaem, nang ngawn ham aka mae te unim,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Bibi pakhat ka saii hatah boeih na ngaihmang uh.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath day 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 on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole 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 righteous judgment.
A hmanhu ah laitloek uh boeh. Tedae laitloeknah he a dueng la laitloek uh,” a ti nah.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, 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 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very 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 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when 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 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye 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 But I know him: for 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 Then they sought to take him: but 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 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
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 that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take 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 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto 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 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye 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 Then said the Jews 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 manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye 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 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto 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 on me, as the scripture hath said, 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 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that 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 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
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, Shall 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 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, 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 was a division among the people because of him.
Tedae anih kongah hlangping te paekboenah om.
44 And some of them would have taken 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 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye 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 officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
Tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Hlang bangla cal pawh,” a ti na uh.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek loh amih te, “Nangmih khaw n'rhaithi uh pawn pawt nim?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
Boei rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek khuikah khat khat loh anih te tangnah pawt nim?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
Tedae hlangping loh olkhueng a ming pawt te rhunkhuen la poeh,” a ti uh.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
Amih taengah om tih hnukbuet ah Jesuh taengla aka pawk Nikodemu loh amih taengah,
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
“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 unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
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 went unto his own house.
Te phoeiah amah im la rhip cet uh.
