John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
[Amimäta im phähphäha cit bekie. Acunüng pi, Jesuh cun Olip Mcunga kaiki.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
Ngawilama Templea law be se, khyang naküt a veia lawkie. Acunüng, Jesuh naw ngaw lü jah mtheiki.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
Thum mthei he ja Pharisee naw nghnumi mat kpami am bäühmaki xawi lawpüi u lü; avana maa ami ngdüihsak.
4 they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
Jesuha veia, “Saja aw, hina nghnumi kpami am ani bäühma k’um bäbä üng ami mana kyaki.
5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
“Mi Thum üng, Mosi naw hina mäih cun lung am vawi ngen vaia ngthu a mkhyah. Nang naw ihawkba na ngaiki ni?” ami ti.
6 Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Acuna ngthu cun Jesuh mhnüteinaka, a mkhyenak ami suinaka ami kthäha kyaki. Acunsepi Jesuh naw ngmüm lü, a kut mdawng am mdek üng kca yuki.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
Kthäh laihlaih u se, ngkyäk law be lü, “Nangmi üng am mkhyekat khawikia khyang naw akcüka lung am vawi se,” a ti.
8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
Acunüng, ngmüm betü lü a kut mdawng am mdek üng yuk betüki.
9 But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
A pyen ami ngjak üng, amimäta mkhyenake ksing law u lü, axü säih üngka naw akdik säih cäpa mat cia khyük be päihkie. Acunüng Jesuh amät däk ve se, nghnumi anglung üng a venak kung üng veki.
10 Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
Jesuh naw a ngmümnak üngkhyüh ngkyäk law be lü, nghnumi amät däk ve se a hmu üng, “Nghnumi aw, hawia ni ami ve u? Ning mkatei khai u pi am ve se mä?” a ti.
11 And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
Nghnumi naw, “Bawipa aw, u naw am na mkat ve,” a ti. Jesuh naw, “Kei naw pi am ning mkat veng; cit be lü tuh üngkhyüh ta käh mkhyekat ti kawpi,” a ti.]
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
Jesuh naw ami veia ngthu pyen be lü, “Kei cun khawmdeka kvaia ka kyaki. Ka hnu läki naküt cun nghmüpa k'um üng käh xünsei ti lü, xünnaka kvai yahei khaie” a ti.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
Pharisee naw, “Namäta mawng na pyenki, na pyen am cang ve,” ami ti.
14 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
Jesuh naw, “Kamäta ngthu ka pyen üngpi ka pyen cangki. Isenitiüng, kei naw ka lawnak ja ka cehnak vai ka ksingeiki. Nangmi naw ka lawnak ja ka cehnak vai am ksing uki.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
“Nangmi naw nghngicim thum üng ngthu nami mkhyah khawiki, kei naw u am mtai pet nawng.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
“Kei naw ngthu ka mkhyah üngpi ka ngthumkhyah cang khai. Isetiakyaküng, kei kamät däk am ni. Na tüih lawki Pa kei üng a ngpüia phäh ni.
17 It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
“Nami Thum üng, ‘Ai pi cangki ti ksing vaia saksi nghngih hlüki,” ti lü, ng’yuki.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
“Kei kamäta ngthu ka saksiki, Pa na tüih lawki naw pi ka mawng saksiki,” ti lü a jah msang.
19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
Acunkäna amimi naw, “Na Pa hawia ni?” ti lü ami kthäh. Jesuh naw, “Nangmi naw kei am na ksing uki, ka Pa pi am ksing uki. Kei nami na ksing üng ka Pa pi nami ksing khai,” a ti.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
Acuna ngthu cun Temple k'uma khawthem petnaka hnüna a jah mtheia kyaki. Cunsepi u naw pi akcün am küm law hamkia kyase am man u.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
Jesuh naw, “Kei naw akcea ka ning jah ceh ta khai; nangmi naw nami na sui hü khaie. Cunüngpi nami mkhyekatnake üng nami thi khaie. Ka cehnaka am cit thei uki,” ti lü, a jah mtheh.
22 The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
Judah ngvaie naw, ‘“Ka cehnaka am cit thei uki,” a ti hin amät nghnimei hlü bang se,” ami ti.
23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
Jesuh naw, “Nangmi ta khawmdek üng nami sängeiki, kei ta khan üngkhyüh ka lawki. Nangmi cun hina khawmdek üngkhyüh nami ngtüi lawkia kya lü, kei ta khawmdek üng am sängei ve ngü.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
“Acunakyase, ‘Nami mkhyekatnake üng nami thi khai’ ka ti ni. ‘Kei cun Ania Ka Kyaki’ ti am nami jum üng nami mkhyekatnake üng nami thi kcang khai,” a ti.
25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Amimi naw, “Nang u ni?” ti u se, Jesuh naw“Akcüka nami veia ka pyen khawi cen,
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
nangmia phäha ka pyen vai ja, ka ning jah mkatnak vai khawhah veki. Na tüih lawki cun ngthungtak üng kümceiki; ani üngkhyüh ka ngjak naküt khawmdek üng ka mtheh khawiki,” ti lü a jah msang be.
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
Jesuh naw ami veia a pyena Paa mawng cun am ngjakkya u.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
Acunakyase, Jesuh naw, “Khyanga Capa nami taih käna, ‘‘Kei cun Ania Ka Kyaki’ ti nami ksing law khai. Acun käna, kei naw kamäta ngjak hlüa i am pawh lü, Pa naw a na mtheha mäih cia hina ngthu ka pyenki ti nami ksing law khai.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
“Na tüih lawki kei üng atänga veki. Kamätca am na hawih. Isetiakyaküng, aläa ania ngjak hlüa ka pawhmsaha phäh kyaki,” ti lü a pyen.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
Acuna ngthu a pyen ngjakia khyang khawhah naw jumkie.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Jesuh naw jumeiki Judahea veia, “Ka ngthu pyen nami ngjak üng, ka xüisawea nami kya kcang khai.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
“Ngthungtak nami ksing üng, ngthungtak naw ning jah lätsak khai,” a ti.
33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
Amimi naw, “Abrahama mjüa kami kyaki, tuh vei cäpa usüma mpyaa am thawn khawi u nawng, ‘Lätlangnak nami yah khai’ ti hin, i na tinak ni?” ti lü ami kthäh betü.
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: mkhyekatnak pawhki naküt cun mkhyenaka mpyaa kyaki.
“Mpya cun ima asäng ni a ve khawi; capa ta angläta ima ve khawiki. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
“Acunakyase, Capa naw mpya üngkhyüh a ning jah mhlät üng, nami lät kcang khaie.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
“Abrahama mjüa nami kyaki ti ka ksingki. Acunsepi, na hnim khaia nami bü hin, keia mtheimthangnak am nami dodangeia phäha kyaki.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
“Ka Paa na mhnuh naküt ka pyenki. Acunüng pi nangmi naw nami paa ning jah mtheh nami pawhkie” a ti.
39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Amimi naw, “Keimia pa ta Abraham” ami ti. Jesuh naw, “Abrahama caea nami kya üng Abrahama a awmiha mäiha nami awmih khai sü.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
“Pamhnama veia ngthungtak ka ngjak naküt ning jah mtheh ngü se, nami na hnim hlüki. Abraham ahikba am ve khawi naw.
41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
“Nangmi hin nami paa vea mäiha nami awmki he ni,” a ti. Amimi naw, “Pamhnam däk ni kami pa, ania jah ca kcang ni,” ami ti.
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnam nami Pa ani üng nami na mhläkphya na khai sü; Pamhnam üngka naw va ka lawki, kamäta ngaiha ka lawkia am ni, ani naw a na tüih law ni.
43 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
“Ise ka pyena suilam am nami ngjakyaki he ni? Ka ngthu pyen am nami ngaih hlüa phäh, am nami ngjakkya u ni.
44 You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
“Nangmi cun nami pa Khawyama canaa nami kyaka phäh, nami paa ngjak hlü bi vai ni nami mlung ngaih. Khawyam cun akcüka khyüh khyang k’hnima kyaki. Ngthungtak am vekia kyase, ngthungtak üng am xüngsei. A ngthuei üngpi, hleihlak lü hleihlaknaka pa a thawna phäh, amät am ngkäki va anaküt biloki.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
“Ngthungtak ka pyena phäh, nangmi naw am nami na jumki.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
“Ka mkhyekatnak mdang thei khai u nami veki ni? Ngthungtak ka pyen üng nangmi naw ise am nami na jumkie ni?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
“Pamhnam üngkhyüh ngtüiki naw Pamhnama ngthu ngai khawiki, nangmi cun Pamhnam üngkhyüh am nami ngtüikia kyase Pamhnama ngthu am nami ngaiki,” a ti.
48 Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
Judahe naw, “Nang Samarih khyang, khawyaia venaka kya veki kami ti hin am kami cangki aw?” ami ti.
49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jesuh naw, “Khawyaia venaka am kya nawng. Ka Pa ka leisawngki, cunüng pi nangmi naw am na leisawng ve uki.
50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
“Kei naw ta kamät ami na leisawngnak vai am sui veng; acun suihjap lü keia phäh cijangki mat veki.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: ka ngthu ngaiki naküt isüm käh thi khai,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
Judahe naw, “Khawyaia venaka na kyak hman tuh ni kami ksing ve u. Abraham ja sahma he pi thi päng u se, nang naw ‘Na ngthu ngaiki naküt isüm käh thi khai’ ti veki. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
“Kami pu, Abraham kthaka na däm bawki aw? Ani pi thi pängki, sahma he pi thi pängki he. Namät hin ua na ngaieiki ni?” ami ti.
54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
Jesuh naw, “Kamät ka mhlünmtaiei üng, ia käh ka mawng khai. ‘Kami Pamhnam,’ nami tia, ka Pa naw na mhlünmtaiki ni.
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
“Nangmi naw ani am ksing khawi uki. Cunüng pi, kei naw ta ani ka ksingki. ‘Ani am ksing nawng’ ka ti üng nangmia mäiha ka hleihlak hngakia kya khai. Acunakyase, ani ksing lü, a mtheh ka ngjaki.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
“Nami pa Abraham naw, ka law vaia khawmhnüp a hmuh vaia phäh jekyaiki. Acunüng, hmu law lü je khütki,” ti lü, a jah msang.
57 The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
Judahe naw, “Na kum mhmakip pi am law ham lü, Abraham na hmuki pängki aw?” ami ti.
58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: Abraham am a ve ham üng, ka veki,” a ti.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
Ami vawihnak vaia lung jah loei u se, Jesuh cun ngthup lü, Temple üngkhyüh akcea citki.
