< John 5 >

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Acunkäna Judahea pawi mat ve se, Jesuh Jerusalema citki.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
Jerusalem mlüh, To Mkawt peia Hebru läk am Bethzatha ami ti luhnak mhma lawki tui büm mat veki.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
Am phetkia khyang khawhah, amikmü, akhawkxo, ja a kut khaw thikie ngjän u lü, tuia a ngsün law vai mtäteikie.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
Isetiakyaküng, Bawipaa khankhawngsä, akcün kcün üng tui büm üng kyum law lü, tui a ksün ksün law. Acunüng, au pi, tuia ngsün päng ja tuia khana kco maki cun a natnak naküt daw be khawiki.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
Khyang mat kum thumkip ja khyet kunki veki.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
Jesuh naw acukba khawvei ve päng lü ngjänki ti ksing lü a hmuh üng, “Na daw be vai na ngja hlüki aw?” ti lü, a kthäh.
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
Ani naw, “Saja aw, tuia ngsün law üng tui büm da na kaih khai u am ve. Ka law k’um üng akce he naw na khe u lü kcoei ma thakthakie,” a ti.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Jesuh naw, “Tho law, na ngjänak lo lü cita,” a ti.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
Angxita ani cun daw beki. A ngjänak lo lü citki. Acuna mhnüp cun Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.
Judah ngvaie naw daw bekia veia, “Tuhngawi Sabbath mhnüpa kyaki. Judah Thuma tuhngawi na ngjännak käh na kawh hü vai,” ami ti.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
Ani naw jah msang lü, “Na mdaw beki naw, ‘Na ngjännak lo lü cita’ a ti ni, ti lü a jah mtheh be.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
Amimi naw, “Na ngjännak lo lü cita tiki u ni?” ti lü, ami kthäh.
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
Acunsepi, Jesuh khyangea ksunga khyükei se, ani mdaw bekia Jesuh cun u hmana am ksing.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Acun käna, Jesuh naw acuna khyang cun Temple a k'uma hmu be lü, “Tenga, na daw be pängki. Käh mkhyekat be ti kawpi; am ani üng ta, ahina ksetam bawk lü na khana pha law khai ni,” a ti.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
Daw bekia khyang cun cit lü, ani mdaw beki cun Jesuh ni ti lü Judah ngvaie üng a jah mtheh.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
Acukba sabbath mhnüp üng a bilawha phäha Judah ngvaie naw Jesuh mkhuimkhakie.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Ka Pa aläa khüikia kyase, kei pi ka khüiki,” a ti.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Jesuh Sabbath käh jeih lü, Mhnam pi amäta Pa ni tia a pyen ja, amät Mhnam am tängkia a pyena phäha, Judah ngvaie naw hnim law hlü bawkbawkie.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, Capa amät naw i am pawh thei. Acunsepi, Pa naw a pawh hmu lü pawhki. Pa naw a pawh naküt cun Capa naw pi acukba pawhki.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
“Pa naw Capa mhläkphya na lü, ahmäi amäta pawh naküt mhnuhki. Nami müncan vaia Pa naw Capa üng ahina kthaka däm bawkie jah mdang law khai.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
Pa naw akthie jah mtho be lü, xünnak a jah peta mäiha, akcanga Capa naw pi a hlüeia khyang üng xünnak pe khai.
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Pa naw ua lei am mtai, acunsepi, ngthumkhyahnak avan Capa üng a pet päng.
23 That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
“Acun cun, Pa ami leisawnga mäiha khyang naküt naw Capa pi leisawng law khaie. Capa am leisawngki cun ani tüih lawki Pa am leisawngkia kyaki.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (aiōnios g166)
“Akcanga, ka ning jah mthehki, ka ngthu ngai lü na tüih lawki jumki naw angsäi xünnak yahki. Ngthumkhyahnak käh khamei khai, thihnak üngka naw xünnak pha pängki ni. (aiōnios g166)
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, thi pängki he naw Pamhnama Capa a ngkhü kthai ngja acun he. Ngjakia khyang naküt a xüng be vaia kcün pha law khai, akcanga ta pha law pängki ni.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
“Pa amät cun xünnaka phung ania mäiha, Pa naw Capa pi xünnaka phunga kyasaki.
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Acunüng, ngthumkhyahnak vaia ana pi a pet ni. Isetiakyaküng, ani cun Khyanga Capa ania phäha kyaki.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
“Ahina phäha käh müncan ua, lungdüa awmki he naküt naw Capa kthai ami ngjaknak vaia kcün pha law khai,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
akdaw bilokie tho be u lü xünnak yah u se, akse bilokie tho be u lü mkatnak khamei khaie.
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
“Kamät naw i am pawh thei nawng. Ka ngjaka mäiha lei ka mtaiki; ka ngthumkhyah ngkhaiki. Isetiakyaküng, kamäta ngjak hlü käh sui lü, Pa na tüih lawkia ngjak hlü ka suia phäha kyaki.
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
“Kamäta mawngma ka saksi üng ka saksi cangki ti mdangnak vai am ve.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
“Ka mawng saksiki akce veki; ani naw ka mawng a saksi cangki ti ka ksingki.
33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
“Johana veia ngsä tüih uki se, ani naw ngthungtak saksi khai.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
“Khyang he naw ka mawng ihawkba ami saksi üng kei am ngtungjin nawng. Acunsepi nangmi küikyannak nami yah vaia phäh hin ka pyena kyaki.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
“Johan cun däi lü vaikia meiim mat am tängki. Ania kvai asäng nami jenak vaia nami ngja hlükie.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
“Kei naw Johana saksia kthaka dawki saksi ka taki. Isetiakyaküng, Pa naw a na peta khut ka biki. Ka bia khut naw Pa naw a na tüih law ti cun mdanki.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
“Acunüng, na tüih lawkia Pa naw pi keia mawng na saksi petki. Iti üngpi a kthai ngja lü a hmai am hmu khawi uki.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
A tüih law am nami jumeia phäh, Pamhnama ngthu pyen pi nami mlunga am kenei uki.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
“Cangcima k'uma angsäia xünnak nami hmu khaia ngai u lü, cangcim nami khe khawi jaiki. Acuna cangcim cun keia mawng saksikia kyaki. (aiōnios g166)
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
“Acunsepi, xünnak nami yah khaia ka veia am law hlü uki.
41 I receive not honour from men.
“Khyanga mhlünmtainak am sui nawng.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
Cunsepi, nangmi cun ia khyang mjü ti ka ksingki. Pamhnam nami mlungmthin kcang üng am nami mhläkphyanak pi ka ksingki.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
“Ka pa a ngming üng law ngü se, am na dokham uki. Amäta ngming üng lawki khyang ani vai sü ta nami dokham khaie sü.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
“Pamhnam mat däka vei üngka naw lawkia hlüngtainak käh sui u lü, namimät üngka hlüngtainak nami hlawheikie naw kei ihawkba nami na jum thei khai ni?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
Kei naw, Paa veia ka ning jah khya khaia käh ngai u. Nami üpnak Mosi naw va ning jah khya khai.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
“Mosi nami jum üng kei nami na jum khai. Isetiüng, ani naw keia mawng va yuk hütki.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
“Cunsepi, ania yuk am nami jum üng, ihawkba keia pyen nami jum khai?” a ti.
