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.
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 Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
Tedae Judah rhoek kah dungtlung khotue om tom coeng.
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.
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 no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself 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 even his brothers did not believe in him.
A manuca rhoek long khaw amah te a tangnah uh moenih.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always 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 it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works 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 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."
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 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
He rhoek he a thui phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik naeh.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, 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 The Jewish leaders therefore 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 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."
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 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
Tedae Judah rhoek a rhihnah dongah a kawng te sayalh la thui pawh.
14 But when it was now 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 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
Te dongah Judah rhoek tah a ngaihmang uh tih, “He long he a cang muehla metlam ca a ming?” a ti uh.
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who 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 anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from 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 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.
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 keeps the Law? Why do you seek 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 crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?"
Hlangping long khaw, “Rhaithae na kaem, nang ngawn ham aka mae te unim,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Bibi pakhat ka saii hatah boeih na ngaihmang uh.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
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 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?
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 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
A hmanhu ah laitloek uh boeh. Tedae laitloeknah he a dueng la laitloek uh,” a ti nah.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "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 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the 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 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
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 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.
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 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
Kai loh amah te ka ming. Amah taengah ka om tih te long te kai n'tueih,” a ti nah.
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had 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 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?"
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 the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest 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 Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah a tue kolkalh ni ka om pueng vetih kai aka tueih taengla ka cet ni.
34 You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you 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 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?
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 is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, but won't find; and where I am, you 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 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.
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 who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will 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 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.
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 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly 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, "What, does the 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 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village 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 arose a division in the crowd because of him.
Tedae anih kongah hlangping te paekboenah om.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Amih khuikah a ngen loh amah te tuuk ham a ngaih uh. Tedae anih soah kut hlah uh pawh.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring 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, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Hlang bangla cal pawh,” a ti na uh.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
Te dongah Pharisee rhoek loh amih te, “Nangmih khaw n'rhaithi uh pawn pawt nim?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Boei rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek khuikah khat khat loh anih te tangnah pawt nim?
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
Tedae hlangping loh olkhueng a ming pawt te rhunkhuen la poeh,” a ti uh.
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
Amih taengah om tih hnukbuet ah Jesuh taengla aka pawk Nikodemu loh amih taengah,
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"
“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 him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
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 Then everyone went to his own house,
Te phoeiah amah im la rhip cet uh.
