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.
Lajaras ngeh ih mih wasiit angta ah sat eta. Heh Bithani ni tongte angta, Bithani ah Meeri nyia heh no Martha tongta samthung angta. (
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
Teesu lah ni phontum ih lok ano heh khoroon ih hut haatte ah Meeri angta; eno khoisatte Lajaras ah heh no angta.)
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
Heh jongsah anyi ih Jisu suh maatbaat nyuuta: [Teesu an joonte abah sat ela.]
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].”
Jisu ih erah chaat ano, liita, [Lajaras khoisat ah tek esuh bah tabaam angka; erabah Rangte rangka suh ba angla, eno Rangte Sah rangka lampo ah erah ang ah.]
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Martha nyi soonah nyia nengnyi no Lajaras ah Jisu moongnook angjom rumta.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Lajaras khoisat ah chaat abah uh, heh tongta hah adi saanyi boot daktong thiinta
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Eno Jisu ih heliphante loong asuh liita, [Judia nah ngaakwang ih.]
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]”
[Nyootte, ] heliphante loong ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Erah hah adi Jehudi loong ih jong ih taatpat taho ah halowah tah angla; eno erah ni ngaakkaat chung hu oh?]
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.
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, [Rangwuusiit di asih koonta nyi tanih angka? Erah raang ih rangwu di khoomte ah tabanbotka, tiimnge liidi heh ih mongrep dowa weephaak ah tup eha.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
Enoothong, rangphe doh weephaak mudoh khoom abah banbot ih ah.]
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.”
Jisu erah jeng ano jangbaatkaat rumta, [Seng joonte Lajaras bah mokjup ela, eno ngah kah angno saatsiit ih kah ang.]
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].”
Heliphante loong ah ih ngaakli rumta, [Teesu, heh mokjup ela bah, ede ih ah.]
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Jisu ih Lajaras jup ela liita ah tek asuh liita, enoothong neng ih mokjup tiit baat ha ngeh ih mok samthun rumta.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Erah raangtaan ih Jisu ih saasa ih dokbaat rumta, Lajaras ah tek ela,
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.”
enoothong ngah mudi emah angla thoidi sen loong raang ih eroon elang, erah thoidoh ba sen ih kok hanpi an. Heh jiinnah wang ih.]
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].”
Thomas (khaangpeh ngeh ih men rumta) ih Jisu liphante wahoh loong asuh liita, [Nyootte damdoh seng loong ah wakwang ih, seng loong ah uh heh damdoh toom roongti wang ih!]
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.
Jisu thokta adi, Lajaras ah sa baji ngani dook bengkaat arah japtup wangta.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Jerusalem ah phaloong jom nang ih haniik angta,
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Martha nyia Meeri no tek kano Jehudi nok hah loong ah nengnyi huudiip ra rumtaha.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Martha ih Jisu wang ah japchaat ano heh damdi chomui suh dokkhoom kata, enoothong Meeri ah nok ni tangtongta.
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]!
Martha ih Jisu suh liita, [Teesu, an aanah angtu bah, nga no ah tatek thengta!
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
Enoothong ngah ih jat ehang, an ih amadoh Rangte jiin nawa tiim suh uh erah kot eho.]
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Jisu ih baatta, [An no tek nawa we ngaaksaat ih ah.]
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Martha we ngaakjengta, [Ngah ih jaat ehang[ saathoon doh [heh ngaaksaat ih ah.]
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].
Jisu ih heh suh baatta, [Ngah tek nawa ngaaksaattte nyia roidong, o ih ngah hanpi halang, erah mih ah etek ih abah uh ething ang ah;
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
eno o ih ngah hanpi hangno thing tongla erah mabah uh tatiika. Arah tiit ah hanpi tam ih hu?] (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!”
[En Teesu!] Martha ih ngaakbaatta. [Ngah ih hanpi ehala, arah mongrep adi kaatte, Rangte Sah Kristo ah anju.]
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.”
Maratha ih erah baat lih ni, heh nah Meeri jiinni hotsu ih ngaakwang ano poonwangta, [Nyootte ah bah ani,” eno heh ih [an jam halu.]
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Meeri ih erah chaat ano, Jisu taang ni chomui suh seek ih saatsoon kata.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
(Jisu erah hadaang adi maangthok angta, maradi Maratha chomui kata erah di thoktong roh eta.)
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.
Meeri ah seek ih saatsoon kano, henok ni heh huudiipte khoontongta Jehudi loong ah ih mokthun rumta mangbeng ni hu kala ngeh ah, eno helilih ih phanjoh karumta.
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!”
Meeri ah Jisu reeni thok ano, heh laan japtup roh eta, eno heh lakuh ni chooktong kata. Meeri ih liita, [Teesu[ [an anah angtu bah nga no ah tatek thengta!]
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.
Jisu ih Meeri nyia heh damdi roongkaatte, miloong hu ah tup ano, heh rapne ih thungthita.
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
Jisu ih cheng rumta, [Heh mani bengkaat tan?] Miloong ah ih baat rumta, [Teesu, Sok ra thaak ho.]
35 Jesus began to cry.
Jisu ah ehu eta.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
Miloong ah ih li rumta, [Taat sok thaak an, heh ih tiimthan minchanha!]
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]”
Enoothong Neng dung dowa mararah ih liita, [Heh ih edook nep tanih kaasiitta, tatam angka? Lajaras ah tek nawa taba jentang ka?]
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.
Jisu we thungthih ano mangbeng ko ih kata, mangbenglu ah jonglo ih kepta.
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!”
Jisu ih baat rumta, [Jong ah dokloong an!] Martha, etek eta jongsah rah ih liita, [Nam bah nam ebaat ah Teesu. Erah bengta dowa ih sa baji dook angla!]
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]?”
Eno Jisu ih Martha suh liita, [hanpi ih ubah Rangte chaan aphaan ah tup ih uh ngeh ih tanih baat taha?]
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].
Neng loong ah ih jong ah dokloong rumta. Jisu rangko ih toonsokwan ano jengta, [Ewah, nga rangsoom ah chaat raangtaan ih lakookmi li hala.
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.”
Ngah ih jaat ehang an ih saarookwet ih boichaat halang, enoothong arah liihang abah, aradi lomkhoon hala miloong ah ih, an ih daapkaat tahang ngeh ih toom hanpi rumhang.]
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
Erah jengta lih adi, Jisu ih erongwah ih riipoonta, [Lajaras, dokkhoom ho!]
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].
Eno dokkhoom taha, helak helah mang loop nyuh ih dekchoi nyia hethe hekhoh nyuh ih dek arah, dokkhoom taha. Jisu ih baat rumta, [Nyuh ah jaahaat an,” eno [Toomwang ah.]
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]).
Meeri taang ni dongwangte mih hantek ih, Jisu tiimjih reeraangta ah tup rum ano heh ah hanpi ih rumta.
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Enoothong mararah Pharisi loong jiinni ngaakwang rum ano Jisu reeraangta loong ah baatwan rumta.
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!
Erah thoidi Pharisi nok hah nyia romwah phokhoh loong ah Ngoong awang loong damdi chothum rum ano roongwaan rumta, [Seng ih tiimjih ih?] Mih paatjaajih reeraangla loong ah sok thaak an!
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!”
Seng ih emah jaatjaat ih reeraang thuk ebah, warep ih hanpiite angrumla, eno Room nok hah ngoong awang loong ih li ih baat he, eno seng Rangteenook nyia seng deek sengkaan uh thet haat ete ang hali!]
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]!
Neng changdi wasiit, heh men ah Kaiphas angta, erah paang adi heh Romwah Phokhothoon angta, eno heh ih li rumta, [Sen mamah jen ngakthak lan!
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.”
Sen ih tatam samthun kan deek akaan pan ih matnang ih noksong raangtaan ih wasiit rooptiila ah ese ang ah ngeh ah!]
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.
Kaiphas ah hethung nawa ih tajengta, erah paang adi Romwah Phokhothoon ang kano, Jehudi noksong raang ih Jisu roopti ah ngeh ih chiilam laalam ni banjat eta,
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].
eno neng loong raangtaan luulu tah angka, Rangte suh asah mathan phaang jaangta erah loong ah phunsiit saksiit ih khoonsiit suh nep angta.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Erah sa dowa ih Jehudi ngoong awang loong ah ih Jisu tek haat suh chung rumta.
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].
Erah thoidi Judia ni Jisu wuusa ni tanaan tupkhoomta, eno erah hah dowa doksoon ano, phisaang hah re dowa Ephraim samnuh ni heliphante loong damdi tong kata.
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].
Khopi Kuwaang lang nanah ang kano, miloong ah neng hah nawa Jerusalem ni Kuwaang maangdi khojoop karumta.
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?”
Neng ih Jisu jamsok rumta, eno neng loong ah Rangteenook ni thutthe rum adi, neng neng chengmui rumta, [Sen ih tiimjih thun han?] Jisu ah kuwaang adoh tajaatjaat tam wangra?]
Romwah phokhoh nyia Pharisi loong ih baat rumta, o ih Jisu japtup ah, heh ih chobaat etheng, neng ih jootkhak esuh ah.
