John 14
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
“Käh cäicing pukse ua; Pamhnam jumei ua, kei pi na jumei ua.
2 In my Father’s Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am going to prepare a place for you.
“Ka Paa ima hnün khawhah veki, nangmia phäh hnün pyang khaia ka cit khai. Hnün am a ve üng, am a vea mawng cun ka ning jah mtheh khai.
3 And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
“Cit lü nami phäha hnün ka pyang käna, ka nghlat law be khai. Ka venaka nami ve hnga khaia, ka ning jah la law khai,
4 and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
“Ka cehnak vaia hnün nami ksingki” a ti.
5 “We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so how can we know the way?”
Thomah naw, “Bawipa aw, na cehnak vai am ksing ve ung, ihawkba lam kami ksing khai ni” a ti.
6 Jesus answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever comes to the Father except through me.
Jesuh naw, “Kei cun lama ka kyaki. Ngthungtaka pi ka kyaki. Xünnaka pi ka kyaki. Keia thea Pa veia cehnak vaia lam akce am ve.
7 If you had recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
“Kei nami na ksing pängki, ka Pa pi nami ksing khaie; tukbäih üngkhyüh cutei lü ani ksing päng lü hmu päng ve uki” a ti.
8 “Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
Philip naw, “Bawipa aw, Pa jah mhnuha, acun ni kami hlüei” a ti.
9 “Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesuh naw, “Philip, hi vei nami hlawnga ve ngü se, am na na ksingki aw? Au pi kei na hmuki cun Pa hmuki ni. ‘Pa jah mhnuha’ ise na ti ni?
10 Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own work.
“Kei Pa üng ka ve ja Pa kei üng veki ti, am na jumki aw, Philip? Nami veia ka pyene hin kamäta mhnün ka pyena am ni. Kei üng vekia Pa naw a jah pawha kyaki.
11 Believe me,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.
“Pa üng kei ka ve ja kei üng Pa veki ti jum ua. Am ani üng ka jah pawhmsahea phäh hleng ta na jum ua.
12 In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, because I am going to the Father.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki: au pi na jumki naw ka jah pawhmsahe jah pawh khai; ahina kthaka däm bawkie pi jah pawhmsah law khai. Isetiakyaküng Paa veia ka cit khaia kyaki.
13 Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
“Ka ngming üng ahmäi nami täsam naküt ka ning jah pawh pet khai. Acun cun Pa, Capaa phäh a hlüngtainak vaia phäha kyaki.
14 If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
“Nangmi naw ka ngming üng ahmäi nami täsam üng, nami täsama mäiha ka ning jah pawh pet khai.
15 If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
“Nangmi naw nami na kphyanak üng, ka ngthumkhäne nami jah läk khai.
16 and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (aiōn g165)
“Pa kthäh ngü se, ani naw ning jah Kpüikpak khai akce ning jah pe khai. Acun naw aläa ning jah vepüi khai. (aiōn g165)
17 The world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
“Ani cun Pamhnama mawng ngthungtak pyenki, Ngmüimkhyaa kyaki. Khawmdek khyange naw ani am hmu lü am ami ksinga phäh, ani am doei khawh u. Cunüng pi nami hlawnga ve lü nami k’uma xüngkia kyase, nangmi naw ta ani nami ksingki.
18 I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
“Ka ceh be üng namimät ka ning hawihin khaia käh ngai ua. Nami veia ka law be khai.
19 In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
“Asäng üng khawmdek naw am na hmu ti; cunsepi nangmi naw ta nami na hmu khai. Kei ka xüngseikia kyase, nangmi pi nami xüng hnga khai.
20 At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with you.
“Acuna mhnüp a pha law üng, kei Pa üng ka ve, nangmi kei üng nami ve ja kei nangmi üng ka ve nami ksing khai.
21 It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
“Au pi ka ngthumkhäne jah yah lü, jah läklamki cun kei na mhläkphyanaki ni. Kei na mhläkphyanaki naküt ka Pa naw mhläkphya na khai. Kei naw pi ani mhläkphya na lü kamät ami veia ka ngdang khai” a ti.
22 “What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Judah (Judah Iskarot am niki) naw, “Bawipa aw, khawmdeka veia am mdan lü, keimia veia namät na mdan vai cun ihawkba ni?” a ti.
23 “Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
Jesuh naw, “Kei na mhläkphyanaki naw ka ngthu läklam se, ka Pa naw ani mhläkphya na khai. Ka Pa ja kei a veia law ni lü ani am kani ve khai.
24 He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.
“Au pi, kei am na kphyanaki naw ka ngthu am läklam; ngthu nami ngjake hin kamäta ngthu am ni, Pa na tüi lawkia ngthua kyaki.
25 I have told you all this while still with you,
“Nami hlawnga ka ve ham vei ahin he ka ning jah mthehki.
26 but the Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to you.
“Ning jah Kpüikpak khai, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim, Pa naw ka ngming üng tüih law khai. Ani naw ahmäi ning jah mthei lü, nami veia ka pyen naküt ning jah sümsak be khai.
27 Peace be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
“Dimdeihnak ka ning jah tak hütki; kamäta dimdeihnak ka ning jah peki. Khawmdek naw a peta mäiha ka ning jah peki am ni. Käh cäicing, pukse kyühkyawk ua.
28 You heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
‘Atuh cit kyaw ngü sepi, nami veia ka law be khai’ ka ning jah mtheh nami ngjaki. Nami na kphyanak üng ta Paa veia ka ceh vaia phäh nami je khai. Isetiakyaküng, Pa cun keia kthaka hlüngtai bawkia kyaki.
29 And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
“Ahin a thawnhlawk law üng, nami jumnak vaia; ahin am a thawnhlawk law ham üng, atuh ka ning jah mthehki.
30 I shall not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with me;
“Khawmdek Ukia Mdek bawipa pha law hlükia kyase, khawvei am ning jah ngthuheipüi thei nawng. Ani naw keia khana khyaihnak isüm am ta.
31 but he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
“Acunsepi kei naw Pa ka kphyanaki, Pa naw a na mtheha mäiha ka pawh ti khawmdek naw a ksing vaia phäh ni. Tho law u, hin üngka naw mi cit vai u.
