John 11
1 [One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
Pasal khat amin Lazarus kitipa chu Bethany a cheng ahin, dammo na nei, chule asopiteni Mary leh Martha toh cheng khom ahi.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
Hiche numeinu Mary hi ahi, Pakai kengbul'a thao nu'a asama theh ngima chu;
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Chule amanin a-ucha lhon in Pakai Yeshua heng'a thu athot lhon'in hitin asei lhon e, “Pakai nangailut nasopi naloipa hi adammo lhehtai,” atilhon in ahi.
4 [They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
Hichu Pakai Yeshuan ajah chun hitin aseiyin, “Lazarus dammo nahi thina a kichai ding ahipoi, Pathen loupina dinga kibol'a ahibouve ati, hiche jeh a chu Pathen Chapa loupi na hungsoh doh dinga kitah lang joh ahi,” ati.
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Pakai Yeshuan, Mary, Martha leh asopipa Lazarus alungset lheh jeng vang chun;
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Hikom'a aum na mun'a chun Pakai Yeshua chu nini tobang aumbe nalaiyin ahi.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Hichun aphat ahung lhin phat chun Pakai Yeshuan aseijui ho koma aseijin, “Eiho Judea gam langa kinungle kit tauhite ati.”
8 We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
Ahin aseijuiten lung opkai na aneiyun, “Rabbi, ni ijat ham khat masanga chu Judea gam'a mihon songa selih ding nagot'u chula em,” atiuve.
9 [To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Nikhat sunga hi nidan som le ni niseh a um ahi, chule sun a hi mi jousen lam ajotthei cheh ding ahi. Chuleh amahon kho amuthei nau chu ahileh vannoi vah anei jeh'u ahi.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Ahin, jantengleh tijat natah jong aumin, kipal lhuh na thei jong aumin ahi, ajeh chu vah aumji tapon ahi,” ati.
11 After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
Hichun aman aseiyin, “Iloipau Lazarus a-imu lhatai” ati, “Amavang keima kache ding kaga thodoh ding ahi,” ati.
12 So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
Hichun seijuiten adonbut uvin, “Pakai, Lazarus chu a'imut leh damvah ding tina ahitai,” atiuve.
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Ahin seijui ho geldan'a chu kicholdo dinga a'imut aseiyin angaitouvin, ahin Pakaiyin asei chu Lazarus thi ahitai atina ahi.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Hichun Pakaiyin aseichet pehin, “Lazarus chu athitai.”
15 But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
“Chuleh keima kakipah lheh e, ajeh chu nang hon natahsan theina dingu ahi, hijongle tun hungun ahenga cheu hite,” ati.
16 Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
Hichun Thomas minlhem ni neipa chun aloi aseijui ho lah'a aseitan, “Eiho jong cheu hitin, chu a Pakai toh gathi khom'u hite,” ati.
17 When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
Yeshua Bethany kho'a ahung lhun chun Lazarus chu lhan khuh'a avui nau ni li ahitai ti aseipeh uve.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Bethany chu Jerusalem kom ahin, mile themkhat bouva gamla ahi;
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Chuleh Judah le midang tamtah achekhom'un, Mary leh Martha amani lungmon sah dinga hung'ah anaum'un ahi.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Hiti chun Martha in Pakai ahungtai tithu ajah phat'in amanu chu achen Pakai chu aga kimupin Mary vangchu inmun'ah aum dentai.
21 When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
Hichun Martha in Yeshua koma aseitai, “Pakai nangma hilai mun'a hi ana um hile chun kasopi pa hi thilou ding ahi” ati.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
Ahin tunjong Pathen in nathum chan napeh ding kahe nai ati.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Yeshuan amanu jah'a, “Nasopi pa thou kit ding ahi,” ati.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Marthan adonbut'in, “Henge kanom'e, Ni nunung nia thokit nia atho doh kit ding chu kahe nai,” ati.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Hichun Yeshuan amanu jah'a hitin aseiye, “Keima hi thokitna le hinna chu kahi; chule koi hijongleh keima eitahsan chan chu thita jongleh thoudoh kit ding ahi.
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
Chuleh koi hijong leh ahinga keima eitahsan a chu itih hijongle thilou ding ahi. Martha hiche hi na tahsan em?” ati. (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
Marthan adonbut'in, “Henge, Pakai Pathen katahsan'e, nangma hi Pathen Chapa Messiah vannoiya hung dinga chu nahi,” ati.
28 After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
Hiche chu asei jouvin achemang in asopinu Mary guhthimin akouvin, “Houhil chu hikoma aumin, nakouve,” ati.
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Chuin Mary in hichu ajah jah in gangtah in akipat doh in ahenga achetai.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Pakai Yeshua chu khopam'a Martha toh akimu to nalhon a chu umnalai ahin;
31 The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry there.
Hichun mipi ho Mary lha mon dinga umhon ama akipat doh'a kino thethu'a adalhah chu amu'u chun Lazarus lhan khuh langa gakap dingin agel'un, hichun amahon Mary nung chu ajuiyun ahi.
32 When Mary got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] brother would not have died!”
Hiti chun Mary chu Yeshua umna alhun phat'in ama chu amun akengphang bul'ah abohkhup jengin ajah'a, “Pakai nangma hikoma um hile chun kasopipa thi lou dinga,” ati.
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
Hichun Yeshuan amanu aka amun ahin lhonpi mipi ho jong chu akau amun alung sunga lunghem tah le pohnat na neitah in a um uvin ahi.
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
Hichun Yeshuan ama ho chu adongin, “Hoiya nakoiyu hitam,” ati, mipi hon adonbut'un, “Pakai hungven,” atiuvin ahi.
35 Jesus began to cry.
Hichun Yeshua akaptai.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Hikom mun vel'a dingho chun aseiyun, “Veuvin iti angailut hitam,” atiuve.
37 But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
Ahin koitobang loichun hitin aseiyun, “Hiche pa hin mitcho ho kho amu sah hilou ham, chule Lazarus jong chu athida sah thei chula em,” atiuvin ahi.
38 Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
Hichun Yeshua chun lhan khuh ahin phah chun lunghem tah in aum in; chuleh alhan chu kohom khat ahin, akot chu song khat'a kising ahi.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
Yeshuan amaho jah'a aseiyin, “Song chu tangdoh'un,” ati. Chule athipa sopinu Martha chun ajah'a, “Pakai tun a uitai, ijeh inem itile ni li ahitai,” ati.
40 Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
Hijeh chun Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Natahsan'u leh Pathen loupi na namu dingu ahi kati hilou ham?” ati.
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
Hichun amahon songpi chu atangdoh tauvin, hichun Yeshuan Vanlam aven “Pa nangman kataona na-ngai jeh in namin kathangvah e;
42 I know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
Chuleh nangman kataona na-ngai jinge, ti keiman kahenai, ajeh chu kakimvel a mipi ding ho hin nangma sol kahi hi ahin tahsan thei na dinguva kati ahibouve,” ati.
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Hichun Yeshuan hasap tah in asam in, “Vo Lazarus, hung thou doh'in,” ati.
44 The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
Hichun Lazarus chu akhut akeng lhanpon a kitom pumin amai ultheh pon a kitom pumin lhan khuh a konin ahungdoh tan ahi. Hichun Yeshuan ajah uva, “Lhamun lang lamjot sah'un,” ati.
45 As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
Hichun mipi tamtah Mary toh umjouse chun athilbol chu amu'uvin hichun Yeshua chu atahsan tauve.
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Ahin mipi lah'a mi kimkhat acheuvin Pharisee ho jah a Yeshua thilbol chengse chu agasei tauve.
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
Hijeh chun thempu pipui hole Pharisee ho houvaipo loi akikhom'un, “Eihon ipi ibol'u ham? Hichepa khun la melchihna tamtah abol jing jengin ahi.
48 If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
Eihon ama hi tua banga iche jomsah jingu le mi jousen ama ahin tahsan cheh cheh dingu, hiche teng chule Rome solkal in eiho inam'u ahin i-Houin'u ahin eisuhchimpeh dingu ahitai” atiuve.
49 One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
Hiche laiphat tah'a thempu a ana pang chu Caiaphas ahin aman hitin aseiye, “Nang hon nathu seiyu hi ipi kiseina ham nahe pouve ati.
50 You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
Chujongle vannoi pumpi aboncha aman thah louna dinga miho dinga mikhat athi nangho dinga phajo ahi, tijong nagel pouve,” ati.
51 He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
Chuleh hiche ho hi Caiaphas in ama chama asei doh ahipon, thempu pipui hina'a gaova aphondoh'a, Pakai Yeshua hin vannoi nam jouse khel'a ahinkho apeh doh ding thu asei masah ahibouve.
52 But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
Chuleh Israel chate kisuh khom ding seh hilouvin, namtin jouse le Pathen chate jouse akikhop khoma pumkhat ahidoh na dinga jong ahi.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Hiti ahijeh chun, hichea pat chun Judaten Yeshua thana ding lung angaitouvin akihousom tauve.
54 Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
Hijeh chun Yeshua Judah ho lah'a lhangphongin avahle tapoi; chua kon chun Jerusalem adalhan, gamthip lama Ephraim khoa aseijui hotoh chua chun aum jing tauve.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
Chuleh Judahte kalchuh kut ahung naitan, hichun kut masanga kisutheng dingin gamsunga Judahte jousen, Jerusalem ahin jon cheh tauvin ahi.
56 The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
Amahon Yeshua ahol'un, Houin vel'a adin uchun, khat le khat akihouvun, “Ipi na ngaito uvem? Yeshua chu kut'a hi hunglou ding ham?” akitiuve.
Hichun thempu pipui hole Pharisee hon, lhangphongtah in aphongun, koi hijongle Yeshua umna hea chun amat theina dinguva avetsah dinguvin mipi ho thu apeuvin ahi.
