John 7
1 And, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee; for he was not wishing, in Judaea, to be walking, because the Jews were seeking to slay him.
Acunkäna Jesuh Kalile hne da citki, Judahe naw hnim hlü u se Judah hne da am cit hlü.
2 But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.
Judahea Sam Pawi cäh law se,
3 His brethren, therefore, said unto him—Remove hence, and withdraw into Judaea, that, thy disciples also, may view thy works which thou art doing.
a nae naw, “Na hnukläke naw na pawhmsah ami hmuh vaia, ahin üngkhyüh Judah hnea cita.
4 For, no one, anything in secret, doeth, and yet is seeking, himself, to be well-known. If, these things, thou art doing, manifest thyself unto the world.
“U naw amäta ngminga ngthang vai ngja hlü lü, anghmüa i am pawh khawi u. Hin akcanga na jah pawh üng, khawmdek avan naw ksing se,” ami ti.
5 For, not even his brethren, were believing on him.
(Amäta nae hngawh naw pi am jum u.)
6 Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—My season, not yet, is here; but, your season, at anytime, is ready:
Jesuh naw, “Ka kcün am pha law ham; nangmia kcün cun aläa pha lawki.
7 The world cannot hate you; but, me, it hateth, because, I, bear witness concerning it, that, the works thereof, are, wicked.
“Khawmdek naw nangmi am ning jah hneng thei, ami pawhmsah am dawki ka pyena phäh kei na hnengki ni.
8 Ye, go up unto the feast: I, not yet, am coming up unto this feast, because, my season, not yet, hath fully come.
“Nangmi pawia jeng cit ua, kei ta akcün am a pha law hama phäha tuh pawia am cit hlü ham veng,” a ti.
9 And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding in Galilee.
Acun jah mtheh lü, Jesuh Kalile khawa ve hamki.
10 But, when his brethren had gone up unto the feast, then, he also, went up, —not openly, but as it were in secret.
A nae pawia ami jeng ceh käna, Jesuh pi khyangea käh ksinga anghmüa heng cit hngaki.
11 The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying—Where is that one?
Judah ngvaie naw pawia sui hü u lü, “Hawia veki ni?” ami ti.
12 and there was great, murmuring, about him among the multitudes: some, indeed, were saying—Good, is he! [but], others, were saying—Not so! but he is leading the multitude astray.
Khyang he naw Jesuha mawng ampyua sumkyemkie. Akhäk naw, “Ani ta khyang kdaw ni,” ti se, avang naw, “Am daw, khyang jah mhleiki ni,” ami ti.
13 No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.
Acunsepi, Judah ngvaie ami jah kyüha phäh u naw angdanga am pyen u.
14 Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching.
Pawia nghning k’um üng, Jesuh naw Temple k’uma jeng cit lü Pamhnama ngthu jah mtheiki.
15 The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
Judah ngvaie naw, “Hin, i pi am ngthei khawiki naw ihawkba kca ksingki ni?” ti u lü, münakie.
16 Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said—My teaching, is not mine, but his who sent me.
Jesuh naw, “Ka ning jah mtheia ngthu hin kamäta ngaiha ka ning jah mthei am ni. Na tüi lawki Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia ngthua kyaki.
17 If any one intend, his will, to do, he shall get to know concerning the teaching—whether it is, of God, or, I, from myself, am speaking,
“Au pi, ania ngjak hlü biloki naw ka ngthu pyen hin Pamhnama ngthu ja, kamäta ngaiha ka pyena kyaki aw, ti cun ksing khai.
18 He that, from himself, doth speak, his own glory, is seeking: he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same, is, true, and, injustice, in him, is there none.
“Amäta mhnüna ngthu pyenki cun amäta dawnak, hlüngtainak vai suiki ni. Acunsepi ani tüih lawkia hlüngtainak vai suiki cun ngsungpyun lü mkhyenak ani üng am ve.
19 Did not, Moses, give you the law? And yet, not one of you, doeth the law!—Why, seek ye, to slay, me?
Mosi naw Thum ning jah peki am niki aw? Mat naw pi Thum am nami läki. Ise nami na hnim khaia nami ngtängki ni?” a ti.
20 The multitude answered—A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee?
Khyang he naw, “Khawyai naw a ning venak ni; u naw ning hnim hlüki ni,” ti u lü, ami msang.
21 Jesus answered, and said unto them—One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling:
Jesuh naw, “Müncankse mat ka pawh üng avan nami müncankie.
22 For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision, —not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; —and, on Sabbath, ye circumcise a man.
“Ahina phäha ni Mosi naw vun mawih vaia Thum ning jah pe se (Acun cun Mosi üng tüna am kya, nami pupae üngkhyüh tüneikia kpamica üng ami na bilawh khawia kyaki), Sabbath mhnüp üng pi kpamicaa vun nami mawikie.
23 If, circumcision, a man receiveth, on Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, with me, are ye bitter as gall, because, a whole man, I made, well, on Sabbath?
“Sabbath üng pi kpamicaa vun mawih uki lü, Mosia Thum lümkankia am a kya üng, kei naw Sabbath mhnüp üng khyang ka mdaw bea phäh ka khana ise am nami jeki ni?
24 Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging,
“Hmai teng u lü ngthu käh mkhyah ua, ngsungpyun dawkyakia mtai ua,” a ti.
25 So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying—Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill?
Jerusalem mlüha ka avang naw, “Hin hin Judah ngvaie naw hnim vaia ami büa khyang am niki aw?
26 And yet, see! with freedom of speech, he is talking, and, nothing, unto him, do they say: —Have the rulers perhaps come to know, of a truth, that, this, is, the Christ?
“Teng u, khyangea ksunga ngthu pyen se, i pi am ti na be u. Ani hin Mesijah ti lü ngvaie naw akcanga ksing pängki he aw?
27 But, as for this one, we know whence he is; The Christ, however, whensoever he shall come, no one, getteth to know whence he is.
Mesijah a law üng, u naw pi hawia khyüh a law am ksing. Ani ta a ngtüinak law pi khyang naküt naw mi ksing,” ami ti u.
28 Jesus, therefore, cried aloud in the temple, teaching, and saying—Both me, ye know, and ye know whence I am, —and yet, of myself, have I not come, but he is real, who sent me, whom, ye, know not.
Acunakyase, Jesuh naw Temple k'uma a jah mthei üng ngpyang lü, “Kei hawia ka, kei u ti nami na ksing kcangkie aw? Kamäta ngjak hlüa ka lawki am ni. Na tüi lawki cun ngthungtak ni, ani am ksing uki.
29 I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth.
“Kei naw ani ka ksingki. Isenitiüng, kei cun ani üngka naw ka lawki, ani naw a na tüih law ni,” a ti.
30 They were seeking therefore to seize him; and yet no one laid on him his hand, because, not yet, had come his hour.
Acunüng Jesuh man vaia ami bü kyaw, akcün am pha hamkia kyase, u naw pi am hnet u.
31 But, from amongst the multitude, many, believed on him, and were saying—The Christ, whensoever he cometh, greater signs, will he do, than those which, this one, did?
Khyang avang naw ta jum u lü, “Mesijah a law üng, ania pawhmsaha kthaka daw bawki, müncanksee jah pawhmsah law khai aw” ti u lü amimät ngthäkie.
32 The Pharisees hearkened unto the multitude murmuring concerning him these things; and the High-priests and the Pharisees sent forth officers, that they might seize him.
Acukba, khyange cun Jesuha mawng sumkyemkie ti Pharisee naw ami ngjak üng, ktaiyü ngvaie am ngthäh u lü, man khaiea yekape ami jah tüih.
33 Jesus, therefore, said—Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me:
Jesuh naw, “Asängca nami hlawnga ka ve käna, na tüi lawkia veia ka cit be khai.
34 Ye shall seek me, and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come.
“Nangmi naw na sui u lü pi, am na hmu uki; ka venaka pi am law thei uki,” a ti.
35 The Jews, therefore, said unto themselves—Whither, is, this one, about to go, that we shall not find him? Unto the dispersion of the Greeks, is he about to go, and teach the Greeks?
Judah ngvaie amimät sumkyam u lü, “Am mi hmu ti vaia, hin hawia cit hlüki ni? Akce kcea ve hükie Krikea veia cit lü, Krike jah mthei hü hlüki aw’
36 What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come?
‘Nangmi naw na sui u lü, am nami na hmu khai; ka venaka pi am law thei uki’ a ti hin, i a ti hlünak ni,” ami ti.
37 Now, on the last—the great—day of the feast, Jesus was standing, and he cried aloud, saying—If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink:
Pawia akpäihnak ja akkü säihkia mhnüp üng, Jesuh ngdüiki naw, ngpyang lü, “Au pi, tui xaiki ka veia law lü aw law se.
38 He that believeth on me—just as said the Scripture, —River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.
“Au pi, kei na jumki cun Pamhnama cangcim üng a vea mäiha xünnak Tui Lawng cun ani üngkhyüh lawng law khai,” a ti.
39 Now, this, spake he concerning the Spirit which they who believed on him were about to receive; for, not yet, was there Spirit, because, Jesus, not yet, was glorified!
Jumeikie naw Ngmüimkhya ami yahnak vaia mawng a pyenaka kyaki. Jesuh cun hlüngtainak üng am tho be hamkia kyase, Ngmüimkhya cun jah peta am kya ham.
40 Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying—This, is, in truth, the prophet.
Khyang avang naw a pyen ngja u lü, “Hin hin Sahma kcanga kya ve,” ami ti.
41 Others, were saying—This, is, the Christ. But, others, were saying—Out of Galilee, is, the Christ, to come?
Avang naw, “Ani hin Mesijah ni,” ami ti. Avange naw pi, “Kalile khaw üngka naw Mesijah hmi law thei khai aw?
42 Hath not the Scripture said: Of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, cometh the Christ?
Mesijah cun Sangpuxang Davita ksawn üngka, Davita venaka mlüh Bethlehem üng hmi law khai ti lü cangcim üng veki” ami ti.
43 A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.
Acukba Jesuha phäha khyange ngtaikie.
44 Certain, indeed, from among them, were wishing to seize him; but, no one, thrust upon him his hands.
Avange naw ta man vai ami jum, acunsepi u naw pi am hnet dat u.
45 So then the officers came unto the High-priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them—For what cause, have ye not brought him?
Yekape ami ceh be üng, ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw “Ise am nami lawpüi ni?” ti u se,
46 The officers answered—Never, man spake thus!
yekape naw, “Ania mäiha u naw ngthu am pyen khawi” ti lü ami jah msang be.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them—Surely, ye also, have not been led astray?
Pharisee naw, “Nangmi pi a ning jah nghmawngmhlei hnga aw?
48 Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?
“Ngvaie ja Pharisee üngka ani jumki nami ksing khawiki aw?
49 But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.
“Mosia Thum am ksingkia khyange ta yüncenak khamei ve u,” ti lü, ami pyen.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them—he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them—
Ahlana mthana Jesuha veia lawkia Pharise üngka khyang mat Nikawdim naw,
51 Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing?
“Amäta mpyawng ye üng a ngthu am ngja kaa, a pawhmsah am hmu kaa, mi Thum üng khyang am mi cijang khawi,” a ti.
52 They answered and said unto him—Surely, thou also, art not, of Galilee? Search and see! That, out of Galilee, a prophet is not to arise.
Amimi naw, “Nang pi Kalile khyanga na kya hngaki aw? Cangcim üng tenga, Kalile khaw üng sahma, u am hmi law khawi,” ti lü na hmu khai.
53 And they went, each unto his own house;
