John 7
1 After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
Hiche jou chun, Yeshuan Galilee gamsung muntin achon'in avahlen ahi, ajeh chu Judah vaipo hon ama thadinga agot jeh'un, ama Judea gam'a chun aumnom tapon ahi.
2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
Ahivang in hiche pet chu Judah te lhambuh kut kon cha ahijeh chun,
3 Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
Asopiten Yeshua jah'a, “Hilai mun dalhan lang Judea gam'a chen, chukom'a chu naseijuiten thil kidang nabol hohi amuthei ding'u ahi.
4 No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
Hitia nakisel leh iti namin kithang ding ham? Hitobang thil kidang hohi nabol dingleh vannoi kimu sah in,” atiuve.
5 [They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
Ajeh chu asopi ho jengin jong ama chu atahsan lou ahi.
6 So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
Hichun Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Tuhi kei che na dinga phatpha ahipoi, ahivangin nangho chena dingin phat jouse ahitheiye.
7 [The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
Chuleh vannoiyin nangho nadou pouve, keima bou eidou'u ahi, ajeh chu amahon setna aboljeh'uva kaphoji ahi.
8 You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
Chule nangho cheuvin, keima chethei ponge, ajeh chu keima phat alhing jep poi,” ati.
9 After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
Chule thil hicheng aseijou chun Yeshua Galilee gam'a aumden in ahi. Lhambuh Kut laiya Yeshua
10 However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
Ahivangin asopiho kut'a achejou nung'un, mipi ho kimu sah louvin, Yeshua jong guhthim in achen ahi.
11 At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
Kut lai chun Judah vaipo hon Yeshua chu ahol'un, mipi lah'a khat khat henga chun Yeshua namu em? tin adong leuvin ahi.
12 Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
Hichun mipi holah'a, Yeshua chung chang kinel bautam na asoh dohtan ahi, mi phabep chun, Yeshua chu mipha ahi, atiuvin, ahivangin adang phabep chun Yeshua chu imacha hilou mi lhem chavai bou ahi, atiuvin ahi.
13 But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Ahivangin Judah vaipo hon abol genthei diu ginna jal chun, Yeshua thudol panpi na mipi maiya ngamtah'a seiphong ding koima a umpouvin ahi.
14 In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
Chuin kut kibol kimlai tah chun, Yeshua Houin'ah achetouvin chuleh thu ahilpantan ahi.
15 The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
Athusei ajah'u chun Judah ho chu alung dong lheh un, “Hichepa hin kijil na neilou hel'a iti thil hijat hi ahet ham?” atiuvin ahi.
16 Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
Hijeh chun Yeshuan ajah'uva, “Kathu hil hi keima cham'a hung kon ahipon, eihin sol'a Pathen'a kon ahi.
17 Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
Koi hileh Pathen lunglam hol'a bol ding go'a chun kathu hil hi keima cham'a ham ahilou leh Pathen'a kon ham ti ahet ding ahi.
18 Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
Ajeh chu ama cham'a thuhil chun, ama chang kichoi-at na adeiyun, ahivangin ahinsol pa jabol na leh choi-at na holpa vang chun thutah asei ahi, ama a chun jou aumpoi.
19 [Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
Mose in danthu napeh'u ahin, ahivangin nangho khat in jong najui pouve, nanghon keima tha tahtah dinga neigot jingu ahi,” ati.
20 Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
Chuin mipi chun adonbut'un, “Koiham nang tha dinga nagong'ah? Nanghi thilha vop nahi bouve,” atiuve.
21 Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Keiman Cholngah nikhoa thil kidang khat kabol chu nanghon nadatmo lheh uve.
22 Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
Ahivangin nanghon jong nabol'uve, Mose dan thupeh palkeh lou bangtah in Cholngah nikhon mi chep natan peh jiuve; tahbeh mongin cheptan hi Mose danthu peh um masanga napului teuvin ana phudohsa ahitai.
23 You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
Chuleh nanghon nachapa teu cheptan nikho chu Cholngah ni ato khah jongleh Mose dan thupeh palkeh lou bangin hichu nabol jiuve, achutile ipi dinga keiman Cholngah nikho'a mi kasuh dam chu nanghon nalunghan piu ham?
24 Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
Hijeh chun kun'un noilang veuvin, kingaito phauvin, chutileh adihtah chu nahet ding'u ahi,” ati.
25 Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
Hichun Jerusalem miho chu amaho leh amaho aki dong touvin, “Vaipo hon tha dinga agot jing'u chu hichepa hi hilou ham?
26 He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
Amapa la hilaiya aum in, phongtah in mipi lah'a thu aseiyin, chuleh vaipo hon jong ima alopouve. Achutileh amahon jong hichepa hi Messiah ahi ti apom ngap'u ahitadem?
27 But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Ahivangin amapa hi hichu iti hithei ding ham? Eihon ama ahung konna kihesoh keiya, Messiah vang chu ahung tengleh koiman ahung konna ahetlou ding, hung kilah jeng ding ahibouve,” atiuvin ahi.
28 [They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
Chuin Yeshuan Houin'a athuhil pet chun, ajah'uva, “Adih'e, nanghon keima neiheuve, chuleh kahung konna jong naheuve, ahivangin keima kacham'a hilaiya um kahipoi, keima eihinsolpa chu thudihtah ahi, chuleh nanghon ama chu nahe pouve.
29 But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
Ahivangin keiman ama kahe chen'e, ajeh chu keima ama-a hung kon kahi, chuleh aman keima naheng'uva eihinsol ahi,” ati.
30 Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
Chuin vaipo hon ama chu mat ding agouvin, ahivangin ama phat alhin lou lai jeh in, koiman achunga khut alhapouve.
31 But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
Hichun Houin'a um mitamtah chun Yeshua atahsan tauve, chule amaho akihouvun, “Messiah ahung teng, hichepan abol kalval'a nasajo melchih na kidang abolnah ding ham?” atiuvin ahi.
32 The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
Chuin mihonpi chu, Yeshua thudol akihoulhih melmul'u chu Pharisee hon ajahdoh phat'un, thempu pipui hotoh kijaton, Yeshua man dingin Houin ngah ho chu asol tauvin ahi.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Ahivangin Yeshuan ajah'uva, “Keima nangho toh phat chomcha bou ka umkhom ding ahi, chuleh keima eihinsolpa heng'a kakile kit ding ahi.
34 Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
Nanghon keima neihol'un natin, neimulou dingu ahi, chuleh keima chena'a chu nangho nahung thei lou dingu ahi,” ati.
35 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
Chuin Judah vaipo ho chun, hiche Yeshua thusei chu adatmo lheh un ahi, amaho akidong touvin, “Hichepa hi hoilanga che ding kigo ham? Oleh, amahi hiche gam dalha'a mun danga um Judah ho henga cheding kigo ahidem? Amahin Greek miho jeng jong agahil got hinte.
36 When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
Chuleh ipi aseina mong ahidem? Nanghon neihol'un natin, neimulou dingu chuleh keima chena'a chu nangho nahung theilou dingu atihi,” akitiuvin ahi.
37 [On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
Chuin kut kichaini aniloupi pen nin, Yeshua mihonpi lah'a ading doh'in, ajah'uva, “Koi hileh adangchah'a chu kahenga hunghen.
38 Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
Koi hileh keima eitahsan'a chu kahenga hunghen chuleh hungdon hen, ajeh chu Pathen lekhabun aphondoh banga ama lung sunga kon'a chu twi hing luiya longdoh ding ahi,” tin asamtai.
39 When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
Aman twi-hing ati chu ama tahsan jouse chunga Lhagao aum ding aseina ahi, ahivangin Yeshua chu aloupina'a alut loulai jeh'in hiche Lhagao chu kipeloulai ahiuve.
40 When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
Chuin mihonpi chun, hiche asei chu ajauvin, alah'uva phabep chun, “Hichepa hi inga jingu themgao pachu hitei yinte,” atiuvin ahi.
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
Chuleh adang phabep chun, “Amapa hi Messiah ahi,” atiuvin ahi, ahivangin adang phabep chun, “Hiponte, iti Messiah chu Galilee gam'a hungsoh doh thei ding ham?” atiuvin ahi.
42 (Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
Ajeh chu Pathen lekhabu'a kicheh tah'a kiphong dohsa bangin, Messiah chu David chilhah hiding, David khopi Bethlehem a kon hiding ahibouve, atiuvin ahi.
43 So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
Hijeh chun, Yeshua chung chang thua, mihonpi chu akikhen tel gamtauvin ahi.
44 Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
Chuleh alah'uva mi phabep chun, Yeshua chu mat tei ding angaitou vin, ahivang in koiman achunga khut alhapouve. Judah vaipo hon Yeshua atahsan lou
45 So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
Chuin Houin ngah sottol le ho chu Yeshua manlouva ahung kile phat'un, thempu pipui holeh Pharisee ho chun ajah'uva, “Ibol'a ama nahin puilut lou u ham?” tin adongun ahi.
46 They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
Houin ngah sottol le hon adonbut'un, “Keihon hichepa thusei tobang kaja khapouve,” atiuvin ahi.
47 Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
Hichun Pharisee hon anuisat un, “Nangho jong lhep lhah'a na um'u hitam?
48 (None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
Eiho lah'a vaipo ho leh Pharisee ho khat beh injong amapa chu atahsan em?
49 Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
Khohelou mihonpi in dan thupeh ima ahetlou jeh'uva ama nung ajuiyu ahibouve, chuleh achung'uva Pathen sapset chuding ahi,” atiuve.
50 Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
Hichun masanga Yeshua toh gakimuto sa vaipo lah'a khat amin Nicodemus chun, ajah'uva;
51 “[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
“Mikhat chu ama thu kija masa louva, achunga themmo chansah jeng chu dan ngai na ham?” ati.
52 They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
Chuin amahon adonbut un, “Nang jong Galilee mi nahim? Pathen Lekhabu'a phet inlang sim'in Galilee gam'a kon'a themgao sohdoh khalou hel ahi,” atiuve.
53 [Then they all left and went to their own homes.
Hichun akikhop nau aki khen'un mijousen a-in cheh akijot tauvin ahi.
