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.
To pacoengah Jesu loe Kalili prae ah caeh: Judahnawk mah anih hum han pakrong o pongah, Judah prae thungah amkaeh han koeh ai.
2 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
Judahnawk ih Kahni im poih sakhaih atue loe zoi boeh.
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.
To naah anih ih nawkamyanawk mah anih khaeah, Hae ahmuen hoiah tacawt ah loe, Judah prae ah caeh ah, to naah ni na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to na hnukbang kaminawk mah hnu o tih.
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."
Ahmin amthang han koeh kami loe tamquta hoiah hmuen to sah vai ai. Hae hmuennawk hae na sak pongah, nangmah hoi nangmah to long kaminawk khaeah amtuengsak ah, tiah a naa o.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
Angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah mataeng doeh Jesu to tang o ai vop.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kai ih atue pha ai vop: toe nangcae ih atue loe phak boeh.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
Long mah nangcae hnuma thai mak ai; a sak o ih kasae hmuennawk to ka thuih pongah, Kai ni ang hnukma o.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
Nangcae loe to poihkung ah caeh oh: kai ih atue pha ai vop pongah, to poihkung ah ka caeh mak ai vop, tiah a naa.
9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
Nihcae khaeah hae lok a thuih pae pacoengah, anih loe Kalili ah oh vop.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
Toe angmah ih nawkamyanawk poihkung ah caeh o pacoengah loe, anih doeh poihkung ah caeh toeng, toe minawk panoeksak ai, tamquta ah ni a caeh.
11 The Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
Judahnawk mah poihkung ah anih to pakrong o, Anih loe naa ah maw oh? tiah dueng o.
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."
Amkhueng kaminawk loe anih kawng to angaek o: thoemto kaminawk mah, Anih loe hoih, tiah thuih o: kalah kaminawk mah loe, Hoih ai, anih loe kaminawk to aling, tiah thuih o.
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
Toe Judahnawk zit o pongah, mi mah doeh anih kawng to kamtuengah thui o ai.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Poih a um phak naah, Jesu loe tempul ah dawh tahang moe, kaminawk to patuk.
15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
Judahnawk loe dawnrai o, hae kami loe ca doeh amtuk ai to mah, kawbangmaw ca panoek halat? tiah thuih o.
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kang patuk o ih lok loe Kai ih lok na ai, Kai patoehkung ih lok ni.
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.
Anih koehhaih sak koeh kami mah loe, ka patuk ih lok hae Sithaw ih lok maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaimah kaa ah patuk ih lok, tito panoek thaihaih to tawn tih.
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.
Angmah koeh ah lokthui kami loe, a lensawkhaih hnuk han ih ni a thuih: toe Anih patoehkung lensawkhaih pakrong Kami loe, loktang ah oh, Anih loe alinghaih lok to thui ai.
19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps the Law? Why do you seek to kill me?"
Mosi mah kaalok ang paek o na ai maw, tipongah maeto mah doeh na pazui o ai moe, tikhoe kai hum hanah nang pakrong o loe? tiah a naa.
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
Kaminawk mah, Nang loe taqawk na tawnh: mi mah maw nang hum han pakrong? tiah a naa o.
21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Hmuen maeto ka sak naah, dawn na rai o boih.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
To pongah Mosi mah tangzat hin aah hanah lok ang paek o (Mosi khae hoi angzo ai, ampanawk khae hoiah ni angzoh); Sabbath niah nawkta tangzat hin na aah o.
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?
Sabbath niah nawkta tangzat hin na aah o naah, Mosi ih kaalok aek kami ah na om o ai to mah, tikhoe Sabbath niah nganna kaminawk ngan ka tuisak naah, ka nuiah palung na phui o loe?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Anui phawn khet hoiah lokcaek o hmah, toenghaih hoiah lokcaek oh, tiah a naa.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
To naah Jerusalem ih thoemto kaminawk mah, Nihcae mah hum han pakrong o ih kami loe Anih hae na ai maw?
26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
Khenah, Anih loe misahoihaih hoiah lok a thuih, nihcae mah Anih to kawbang doeh naa o ai. Hae Kami loe Kri tangtang boeh ni, tiah ukkungnawk mah panoek o maw?
27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
Kri angzoh naah, Anih loe naa hoiah maw angzoh, tito mi mah doeh panoek mak ai, toe hae kami loe naa ih kami maw, tito ka panoek o, tiah thuih o.
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.
Jesu mah tempul thungah patuk naah, Nangcae mah Kai nang panoek o: toe Kai loe kaimah koeh ah kang zo ai, Kai patoehkung loe loktang ah oh, Anih to na panoek o ai.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
Anih mah Ang patoeh moe, Anih khae hoi Kang zoh pongah, Anih to Ka panoek, tiah tha hoi a hangh.
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
To pongah nihcae mah Jesu naehhaih loklam to pakrong o: toe Anih ih atue pha ai vop pongah, Anih to mi mah doeh naeh o ai.
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?"
Paroeai kaminawk mah Anih to tang o moe, Kri angzoh naah loe, hae Kami mah sak ih pong pop kue ah anih mah dawnrai hmuennawk to sah tih maw? tiah thuih o.
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Jesu kawng angaek kaminawk ih lok Farasinawk mah thaih o naah, Farasinawk hoi kalen koek qaima mah Anih to naeh hanah, tempul thungah toksah kaminawk to patoeh.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae khaeah atue setta thung ni ka oh han boeh, to pacoengah loe Kai patoehkung khaeah Ka caeh han boeh.
34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
Kai nang pakrong o tih, toe nang hnu o mak ai: nangcae loe ka ohhaih ahmuen ah nang zo o thai mak ai, tiah thuih pae.
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?
To naah Judahnawk mah, Aicae mah anih hnuk han ai ah, naa ah maw caeh han thuih? Maeto hoi maeto ampraek Gentelnawk khaeah caeh moe, Gentelnawk patuk han ih maw a thuih?
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
Kai nang pakrong o tih, toe nang hnu o mak ai: nangcae loe ka ohhaih ahmuen ah nang zo o thai mak ai, tiah thuih ih lok loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw vai? tiah thuih o.
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.
Kalen poihsakhaih hnukkhuem koek niah, Jesu angdoet moe, Mi kawbaktih doeh tui anghae kami loe, Kai khaeah angzo nasoe loe, nae nasoe.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
Mi kawbaktih doeh Kai tang kami loe, Cabu mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih ih takoh thung hoiah hinghaih tuipui to long tih, tiah tha hoi hang moe, lok a thuih.
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.
(Toe to lok loe, Anih tang kaminawk mah hnuk han ih Muithla, thuih koehhaih ih ni: Jesu loe lensawkhaih hoi pakoeh ah om ai vop pongah, Kacai Muithla to paek ai vop).
40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the Prophet."
Paroeai kaminawk mah a lok to thaih o naah, Hae kami loe Tahmaa tangtang boeh ni, tiah thuih o.
41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Kalah kaminawk mah loe, Hae kami loe Kri ni, tiah thuih o. Toe thoemto kaminawk mah loe, Kalili hoiah Kri angzo tih maw?
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Cabu mah, Kri loe David ih atii hoiah angzo tih, David ohhaih Bethlehem vangpui hoiah ni angzo tih, tiah thuih ih lok oh na ai maw? tiah thuih o.
43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
Anih pongah kaminawk ampraek o.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Thoemto kaminawk mah anih to naeh han koeh o; toe mi mah doeh anih to naeh o ai.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"
Tempul ah toksah kaminawk loe Farasinawk hoi kalen koek qaima khaeah amlaem o let, to naah nihcae mah tikhoe Jesu nang zo o haih ai loe? tiah naa o.
46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Tempul ah toksah kaminawk mah, Hae kami baktiah lokthui kami mi doeh om vai ai vop, tiah pathim pae o.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
Farasinawk mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae doeh ang ling o boeh maw?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Ukkungnawk, to tih ai boeh loe Farasinawk thungah Anih mah thuih ih lok tang kami oh o maw?
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
Kaalok panoek ai haeah amkhueng kaminawk loe tangoenghaih tongh o boeh, tiah a naa o.
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
(Nihcae ih kami maeto ah kaom, khoving naah Jesu khaeah kacaeh), Nikodemu mah nihcae khaeah,
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
aicae ih daan pongah kami maeto mah sak ih hmuen to panoek ai, a thuih ih lok doeh thaih ai ah lokcaek thai maw? tiah a naa.
52 They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nang doeh Kalili ih kami ah maw na oh? Pakrongah loe khenah: Kalili hoiah tahmaa tacawt vai ai vop, tiah a naa o.
53 Then everyone went to his own house,
To kaminawk loe angmacae im ah caeh o boih.
