John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
Apuengcue vah lawk teh ao, Lawk teh Cathut hoi rei ao, Lawk teh Cathut doeh.
2 this one was in the beginning with God;
Ahni teh apuengcue vah Cathut hoi rei ao.
3 all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
Hnocawngca pueng ahni pawlawk dawk sak lah ao teh, ahni laipalah sak hoeh e banghai awm hoeh.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
Ahni dawk hringnae ao, hahoi hote hringnae teh taminaw e angnae lah ao.
5 and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
Hote angnae teh a hmonae koe a ang teh, hmonae ni ramuk thai hoeh.
6 There came a man — having been sent from God — whose name [is] John,
Cathut ni Jawhan tie a tami hah a patoun.
7 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
Jawhan ni angnae kong hah a kampangkhai. Tami pueng ni hote akong a thai navah yuemnae a tawn thai awh nahane dei hanlah a tho.
8 that one was not the Light, but — that he might testify about the Light.
Ahni teh angnae nahoeh, angnae kong kampangkhai hane doeh a tho.
9 He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
Angnae katang teh heh talaivan a tho teh tami pueng angnae ka poe e lah ao.
10 in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
Ahni teh het talaivan vah ao teh, hete talai hai a sak toe. Hatei, talai ni ahni teh panuek hoeh.
11 to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
Ahni teh a taminaw koe a tho ei a taminaw ni a hnamthun takhai awh.
12 but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God — to those believing in his name,
Capa ka yuem e taminaw pueng teh Cathut ca lah coungnae kâ a poe.
13 who — not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but — of God were begotten.
Cathut ca lah coungnae teh tami phunglam lahoi khe e lah tho hoeh. Thi moi hoi khe e na hoeh. Tami ni khe e hai nahoeh. Cathut ama ni khe e ca lah ao.
14 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
Lawk hah tami lah a coung teh, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang hoi akawi. Maimouh koe ao teh Cathut ni a Capa tawn dueng a poe e a bawilennae patetlah maimouh ni bawilennae hmu awh.
15 John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
Jawhan ni ahnie kong hah a kampangkhai teh, kaie hnuk lah ka tho hane teh, ka o hoehnahlan kaawm toung niteh, kai hlak kalen e lah ao ka ti navah ahni doeh telah a hramkhai.
16 and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
Ahnie kuepnae koehoi lungmanae van lungmanae teh coe awh.
17 for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
Cathut ni kâlawk teh Mosi koehoi na poe awh, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang teh Jisuh Khrih koehoi doeh a tho.
18 God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father — he did declare.
Apinihai Cathut teh hmawt boihoeh eiteh, Cathut lungtabue dawk kaawm e a Capa buet touh dueng ni Cathut teh a kamnue sak.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, 'Who art thou?'
Judahnaw ni vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hah Jerusalem lah Jawhan koe a patoun awh teh, nang hah apimaw telah a pacei sak awh.
20 and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed — 'I am not the Christ.'
Jawhan ni kai teh Messiah na hoeh telah kamcengcalah a dei pouh.
21 And they questioned him, 'What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, 'I am not.' — 'The prophet art thou?' and he answered, 'No.'
Ahnimouh nihai, pawiteh nang apimaw, Elijah maw telah a pacei awh. Jawhan ni, kai teh Elijah nahoeh telah atipouh. Hoeh pawiteh profet maw atipouh awh, nahoeh bo bout atipouh.
22 They said then to him, 'Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'
Ahnimouh ni, nang teh apimaw. Kaimouh kapatounnaw koe bout ka dei awh nahanlah namahoima bangtelamaw na kâdei telah a pacei awh.
23 He said, 'I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.'
Jawhan nihai, kai teh profet Isaiah ni a dei e patetlah Cathut e lamthung lan sak awh telah kahrawngum ka hramkhai e lawk doeh atipouh.
24 And those sent were of the Pharisees,
A patoun awh e naw teh Farasinaw doeh.
25 and they questioned him and said to him, 'Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?'
Ahnimouh ni, nang teh Messiah hai na hoeh, Elijah na hoeh, profet hai na hoehpawiteh, bangkongmaw tui baptisma na poe vaw atipouh awh.
26 John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,
Jawhan ni, Kai ni vah tui dawk baptisma na poe awh, hatei, nangmouh ni na panue hoe e, ka hnuklah ka tho hane ao.
27 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.'
Kai ni vah khokkhawmrui boehai rasu pouh han ka kamcu hoeh atipouh.
28 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
Hettelah lawk a kâ paceinae hmuen teh Jordan palang teng Bethani kho, Jawhan ni tui baptisma a poenae hmuen koe doeh.
29 on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
Atangtho Jawhan ni Jisuh a tho e a hmu navah khen a haw Cathut e tuca talaivan e yon ka cetkhai e ho!
30 this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
Ahni teh kai ka o hoehnahlan hoi kaawm tangcoung e ni teh kai hlak kalen ni teh kaie ka hnuklah a tho han ka tie hah doeh.
31 and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.
Ahmaloe vah ahni teh ka panuek hoeh. Hatei, Isarelnaw ni ama a panue thai awh na hanelah kai ni tui baptisma na poe awh e doeh atipouh.
32 And John testified, saying — 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;
Hahoi Jawhan ni, kalvan hoi Muitha teh Âbakhu patetlah a kum teh avan vah a cu e ka hmu telah a kampangkhai teh a dei.
33 and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;
Ahmaloe vah ahni ka panuek hoeh, hatei, teh tui baptisma na kapoesakkung ni, tami buet touh van vah Muitha a kum teh a cu e hah na hmu navah, ahni teh Kathoung Muitha hoi tui baptisma ka poe hane doeh tie na panue han ati e patetlah,
34 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'
khei ka hmu teh ahni teh Cathut Capa doeh telah nangmouh koe ka kampangkhai telah Jawhan ni a dei.
35 On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
Atangtho vah Jawhan hoi a hnukkâbang kahni touh ni Jisuh a tho e a hmu awh navah,
36 and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'
Jawhan ni a khet teh, Cathut e tuca hah khenhaw ati.
37 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Avaica roi ni a thai navah Jisuh hnuk a kâbang roi.
38 And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, 'What seek ye?' and they said to them, 'Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher, ) where remainest thou?'
Jisuh ni a kamlang teh a hnuklah a kâbang roi e a hmu navah, bangmaw na ngai roi telah a pacei. Ahnimouh roi ni, Rabbi, Bawipa nang teh namaw na o telah atipouh. Rabbi ti ngainae teh kacangkhaikung tinae doeh.
39 He saith to them, 'Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.
Jisuh ni tho nateh khenhaw! atipouh. Ahnimouh ni a cei awh teh a onae teh a hmu awh, atueng teh tangmin lahsa suimilam pali a pha toe. Kho hmo totouh ama koe ao awh.
40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;
Jawhan e lawk a thai hoi Jisuh hnukkâbang roi e thung dawk buet touh teh Simon Piter e a nawngha Andru doeh.
41 this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, 'We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed, )
Andru ni apasuekpoung lah Simon koe a cei teh, Messiah teh ka hmu awh toe atipouh. Messiah tie teh Khrih tinae doeh.
42 and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, 'Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.)
Andru ni Simon hah Jisuh koe a ceikhai. Jisuh ni nang teh Jawhan capa Simon doeh. Cephas tie min katha phung lah na o han atipouh. Cephas tinae teh Piter tie hoi kâvan e talung ti ngainae doeh.
43 On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, 'Be following me.'
Atangtho vah Jisuh teh Galilee lah cei han a kâcai. Filip hah a hmu nah ka hnukkâbang atipouh.
44 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
Filip teh Andru hoi Piter a onae Bethsaida kho hoi ka tho e tami doeh.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;'
Filip ni Nathanael a hmu nah, phunglawk cauk dawk e Mosi ni a thut e, profetnaw ni akong a thut e Nazareth tami Joseph capa Jisuh hah ka hmu toe atipouh.
46 and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'
Nathanael ni, Nazareth kho hoi hnokahawi a tâco boimaw atipouh navah Filip ni vah tho nateh khenhaw! atipouh.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, 'Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'
Jisuh ni Nathanael ama koe a tho e hah a hmu teh, Isarel tami katang hi ao e hah khen awh, dumyennae lungthin khoeroe tawn hoeh, atipouh.
48 Nathanael saith to him, 'Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Before Philip's calling thee — thou being under the fig-tree — I saw thee.'
Nathanael ni hai Bawipa nang ni bangtelamaw kai heh na panue atipouh. Jisuh ni Filip ni na kaw hoehnahlan vah thaibunglung rahim na o nah na hmu toe atipouh.
49 Nathanael answered and saith to him, 'Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'
Nathanael ni, Bawipa nang teh Cathut Capa doeh Isarelnaw e Siangpahrang doeh, atipouh.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, 'Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;'
Jisuh ni thaibunglung rahim na o e ka hmu ka ti dawk maw na tang. Hot hlak kalen e hno hah bout na hmu han atipouh.
51 and he saith to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'
Atangcalah na dei pouh awh, kalvan kamawng vaiteh tami Capa e a van vah Cathut e kalvantaminaw ka kum ka luen e na hmu a han atipouh.
