John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
A tongcuek ah Ol om tih ol tah Pathen neh om. Te dongah ol tah Pathen ni.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Anih tah a tongcuek ah Pathen neh om.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
A cungkuem he anih rhangneh om tih anih pawt atah khat khaw om thai pawh.
4 In him was life; and the 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 the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness 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] John.
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang tueih, a ming ah Johan te phoe.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.
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 bear witness of that Light.
Anih te vangnah la om pawt dae vangnah kawng aka phong ham ni.
9 [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh 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 world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Diklai ah amah om tih anih rhangneh diklai he om dae diklai loh amah te ming pawh.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Amah rhoek taengah a pawk pah dae, amah rhoek loh anih te doe uh pawh.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on 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 were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will 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 the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth.
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 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
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 fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
A soepnah lamloh lungvatnah sokah lungvatnah khaw mamih loh boeih n'dang uh coeng.
17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Moses lamloh olkhueng m'paek tih, lungvatnah neh oltak tah Khrih Jesuh lamloh ha thoeng.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom 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 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask 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; but confessed, I am not the 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 saith, 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 unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
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 voice of one crying in the wilderness, 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 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek taengah aka om rhoek te a tueih uh.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither 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 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know 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, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
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 Jordan, where John was baptizing.
He rhoek he tah Jordan rhalvangan kah Bethany ah om. Te rhoek ah Johan loh a nuem khaw om coeng.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin 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 said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
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 knew him not: but that he should be made manifest 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 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon 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 knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same 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 saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Kai loh ka hmuh coeng dongah Pathen capa tah anih ni tite ka phong coeng.
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
A vuen ah Johan neh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit tah koep pai,
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
Jesuh a caeh te a sawt doeah, “Pathen kah tuca ke,” a ti nah.
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Te vaengah hnukbang panit loh anih kah a thui te a yaak rhoi tih Jesuh a vai rhoi.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, 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 saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
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 One of the two which heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
Johan taengkah a yaak rhoi khuikah pakhat tah Simon Peter kah a manuca Andrew khaw om tih amah a vai rhoi.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the 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 Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: 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 Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow 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 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip tah Peter neh Andrew kah a kho Bethsaida lamkah ni.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
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 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto 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 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, 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 saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw 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 saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Nathanael loh Jesuh te, “Rhabbi, nang tah Pathen capa ni, namah tah Israel manghai ni,” a ti nah.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than 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 saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son 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.
