John 7
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought to kill him.
Hahoi Jisuh teh Galilee lah kahlawng a cei. Judahnaw ni Bawipa teh thei hane a kâcai awh dawkvah, Judah lah kahlawng cei hane ngai hoeh.
2 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
Judahnaw e lukkareiim pawi, a tue ni a hnai toe.
3 So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works that you are doing.
Hatdawkvah, Jisuh koe a nawnghanaw ni, hi hoi Judah lah cet nateh na sak e hnonaw hah na hnukkâbangnaw ni hmawt van naseh.
4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world."
Apihai min kamthang han ka ngai e niteh, arulahoi hno sak boi hoeh. Nang ni hete hnonaw hah na sak pawiteh, het talaivan vah namahoima kamthang sak awh loe na ka tet e lah doeh na o.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Hottelah deingainae teh, amae a nawnghanaw ni patenghai Jisuh teh a yuem awh hoeh dawk doeh.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Jisuh nihai, kaie atueng phat hoe rah, hatei, nangmae atueng teh coungkacoe lah pou ao.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Talaivan ni nangmouh teh na hmu ngai awh. Kai teh na hmuhma awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh thoenae a sak e naw kai ni ka takhi dawkvah.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
Hote pawi koe nangmouh ni cet awh. Kai teh ka tueng ni a kuep hoe rah dawk ka cet mahoeh rah atipouh.
9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
Hete lawk a dei nah ahni teh Galilee doeh ao rah.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Hatnavah, a nawnghanaw pawi koe be a cei awh hnukkhu, Jisuh teh hote pawi koe a ru lah duem a cei van.
11 The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
Hote pawi koe, Judahnaw ni Jisuh te na maw o, telah a tawng awh.
12 There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd astray."
Taminaw ni Bawipa e kong hah phuenangnae lah a o. Tami tangawn ni teh tami kahawi doeh ati awh. Tami a tangawn ni teh tami ka dumyen e doeh ati awh.
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
Hatei, Judahnaw a taki awh dawkvah api ni hai kamcengcairalah dei han ngam awh hoeh.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Hote pawi a sak awh lahun nah Jisuh ni bawkim a cei teh a cangkhai.
15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
Judahnaw ni a kângairu awh teh, hete tami heh cangnae tawn laipalah, bangtelah hoi maw thoumthainae telah a panue ati awh.
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Jisuh nihai, kai ni ka cangkhai e teh kama e cangkhainae nahoeh bo, na kathakung e cangkhainae doeh atipouh.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
Apihai ahnie a ngainae sak han ngai pawiteh hete cangkhainae heh Cathut koe e cangkhai na e maw. Hoehpawiteh Kai ni kamae kâtawnnae lahoi ka dei e maw tie kapekkaboe thainae a tawn van han.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Amahmawk ka dei e niteh, amae a barinae doeh a tawng awh. Kapatounkung e a barinae ka tawng e teh yuemkamcu teh a payonnae ahni tak dawk awm hoeh.
19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
Mosi ni kâlawk doeh nangmouh na poe awh. Apinihai hote kâlawk tarawi han na ngai awh hoeh. Hatei, bangkong maw nangmouh ni kai thei hanelah na kâcai awh, atipouh.
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
Taminaw ni nang heh kahraikathout ka tawn e doeh. Nang hah apinihai na thei han kâcai hoe bo atipouh awh.
21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Jisuh nihai, kai ni ka sak e hno buet touh dawk nangmouh abuemlah na kângai a ru awh.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Mosi ni vuensomanae phunglawk na cangkhai awh e heh, Mosi koehoi kamtawng ti deingainae laipalah mintoenaw koe e râw lah a pang awh. Hatdawkvah sabbath nah hnin vuensomanae a sak awh.
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
Mosi e phung lawk a kamko hoe na hanlah Sabbath hnin vuensom na awh pawiteh, kai ni Sabbath na hnin nah tami a takbuem lah damnae ka poe dawkvah nangmouh ni bangkong na lungkhuek awh vaw.
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Minhmai khet lahoi lawk tâtueng han awh. Kalancalah lawk tâtueng awh, atipouh.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Hatnavah Jerusalem e tami tangawn ni hete tami heh ahnimouh ni thei hanelah a kâcaikhai awh e nahoehmaw.
26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
Hateiteh, khenhaw! lolo kamnuek lah phung a dei ei apinihai bang tet awh hoeh bo! Hete tami heh Khrih ama doeh tie ukkung bawinaw ni a panue katang toung vaimoe.
27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
Hatei, hete tami teh nâhoi maw a tho tie maimouh ni panue awh. Khrih a tho torei teh, nâhoi maw a tho tie apinihai panuek mahoeh ati awh.
28 Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
Jisuh ni bawkim vah a cangkhai nah a hramkhai e teh, nangmouh ni kai na panue awh, na hoi maw ka tho tie na panue awh. Hatei, kai heh ka mahmawk ka tho hoeh, kai kapatounkung teh a katang doeh. Ahni teh nangmouh ni na panuek awh hoeh.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
Hatei, kai ni teh ka panue, bangkongtetpawiteh kai teh ahni koehoi ka tho teh ahni ni na patoun telah a hramkhai.
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
Hatnavah ahnimouh ni Bawipa teh a man awh hanlah a panki awh ei, a tue a pha hoeh rah dawkvah apinihai man awh hoeh.
31 But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"
Kamkhueng e thung hoi tami tangawn ni teh a yuem awh dawkvah, Khrih a tho torei teh, ahni ni a sak e hlak hoe kapap e kângairunae a sak han ma aw ati awh.
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Taminaw a phuenang awh e hah vaihma bawinaw hoi Farasi kacuenaw ni a thai awh navah Jisuh man sak hanelah karingkungnaw a patoun awh.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Jisuh ni, kai teh nangmouh koe dongdeng doeh kaawm tih, kapatounkung koe let bout ka cei han.
34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
Nangmouh ni kai na tawng awh han, hatei, na hmawt thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh kai ka onae hmuen koe nangmouh ni na phat thai mahoeh atipouh.
35 The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Judahnaw ni hettelah atipouh awh. Kaimouh ni ka hmu awh hoeh nahanelah amahoima nâ lah maw cei han a kâcai vai. Griknaw koe hoi kampeknaw koe a cei vaiteh, Griknaw vaimoe a cangkhai han vai.
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
Nangmouh ni na tawng awh han, hatei, na hmawt a mahoeh, kai ka onae koe nangmouh ni na phat thai mahoeh ati e lawk hah bang dei ngainae vaimoe ati awh.
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
Hote pawi abaw nah hnin, Jisuh ni a kangdue lahoi a hramkhai e teh, apihai tui kahran e pueng, kai koe tho awh teh net awh.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah apihai kai na ka yuem e teh a lungthung hoi hringnae tui ka phuek e lah ao han a ti.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
A tingainae teh, ka yuem e naw ni Muitha a hmu awh hane hah a dei ngai e doeh. Hatei, Jisuh teh pholen lah ao hoe rah dawkvah, Kathoung Muitha poe hoeh rah.
40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
A lawk ka thai pueng ni, ahni teh profet katang doeh ati awh.
41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Bangpatetnaw niteh, ahni heh Khrih doeh ati awh. Hatei, bang patet niteh, Khrih teh Galilee hoi maw a tâco han, ati awh.
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Khrih teh Devit catoun, Devit kho Bethlehem a khe han, Cakathoung ni a dei na hoe maw ati awh.
43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
Hatnavah, tamihu thung Jisuh kawng dawk kâkapeknae ao awh.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Atangawn ni teh a man han a ngai awh. Hatei, apinihai bout man awh hoeh.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
Karingnaw ni vaihma bawinaw hoi Farasinaw koe let a ban awh navah, ahnimouh ni bangkongmaw ahni hah na hrawi hoe vaw atipouh.
46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Karingnaw ni, ahnie a lawk dei e patetlah apinihai dei boihoeh atipouh awh.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
Farasinaw ni, nangmanaw hai na dum awh toe khe.
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Kâ katawnnaw hoi Farasinaw thung dawk ahni kayuem e tami buet touh bang ao maw.
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
Kâlawk ka panuek hoeh e hete tamimaya ni thoebonae khang lawiseh atipouh awh.
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
Karum vah Jisuh koe ka cet e ahnimae a hui buet touh Nikodemus tie ni ahnimouh koe a dei pouh.
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
A sak hoi a dei e panue hoi thai hoeh nahlan, maimae kâlawk ni lawkceng thai na maw telah atipouh.
52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
Ahnimouh ni nang hai, Galilee tami van maw. Galilee dawk hoi profet tâcawt boihoeh tie hah panuek awh.
53 Then everyone went to his own house,
Hathnukkhu haw kaawm e pueng amamouh im lah a cei awh.
