Johan 8
1 Tedae Jesuh tah olive tlang la cet.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Mincang ah bawkim la koep ha pawk hatah pilnam pum loh a taengla a paanuh. Te dongah ngol tih amih te a thuituen.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Te vaengah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh huta pakhat te a samphaihnah neh a tuuk uh tih a khuen uh.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Anih te a laklung ah a pai sak uh phoeiah, Jesuh te, “Saya, hekah huta he a samphaih li vaengah ka tuuk uh.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Tedae olkhueng dongah tah hebang he dae hamla Moses loh mamih n'uen coeng. Te koinih nang tah metlae na ti eh?” a ti nauh.
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Tedae he nen he amah paelnaeh ham a khueh uh dongah a noemcai uh tih a voek uh. Te dongah Jesuh loh buluk thuk tih kutdawn neh lai ah a daek.
and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
7 Tedae amah te koepkoep a dawt uh vaengah pai tih amih te, “Nangmih khuikah aka tholh mueh loh anih te lamhma la lungto neh dae saeh,” a ti nah.
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 Te phoeiah koep buluk tih lai ah a daek.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 A yaak uh vaengah patong lamkah a tong tih pakhat pakhat ah boeih cet uh. Te dongah Jesuh neh a laklung kah aka om huta bueng la cul.
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 Te vaengah Jesuh te pai tih, “Huta, melam a om uh? nang m'boe sak moenih nama?” a ti nah.
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
11 Te dongah te long te, “Boeipa, om pawh ue,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “Kai khaw nang kan boe sak moenih. Cet lamtah tahae lamkah tholh voel boeh,” a ti nah.
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
12 Te phoeiah Jesuh te amih taengah koep cal tih, “Kai tah Diklai kah vangnah ni. Kai aka vai rhoek tah a hmuep ah pongpa voel pawt vetih hingnah hmaivang te a khueh ni,” a ti nah.
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
13 Te dongah amah te Pharisee rhoek loh, “Nang loh namah kawng ni na phong, na olphong te oltak om pawh,” a ti nauh.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Kai loh kamah kawng ka phong cakhaw kai kah olphong te oltak la om. Me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw ka ming. Tedae nangmih loh me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw na ming uh pawh.
Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Nangmih loh pumsa neh lai na tloekuh. Kai tah ukhaw lai ka tloek moenih.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Tedae lai ka tloek van coeng atah kamah bueng ka om pawt tih kai aka tueih a pa neh kai ka om rhoi dongah kai kah laitloeknah tah a thuem la om pataeng.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Olkhueng dongah khaw nangmih ah hlang panit kah olphong te thuem tila a daek coeng.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Kai loh kamah kawng aka phong la ka om dae kai aka tueih a pa loh kai kawng a phong,” a ti nah.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Te dongah amah te, “Na pa te melam a om?” a ti nauh. Jesuh loh, “Kai nan ming uh pawt tih a pa khaw na ming uh pawh. Kai nan ming uh koinih a pa te khaw na ming uh ni,” a ti nah.
They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
20 Bawkim ah a thuituen vaengah hekah ol he tangkabu kaepah a thui dae amah kah a tue a pha hlan dongah anih te tuu uh pawh.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Te dongah amih te, “Ka caeh vaengah kai nan toem uh cakhaw namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni. Mela ka caeh khaw nan pha uh ham coeng pawh,” koep a ti nah.
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
22 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Amah ngawn uh la cai pawt nim? ' Mela ka caeh khaw na loh ham coeng pawh,’ a ti he,” a ti uh.
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah a hmui lamkah ni. Kai tah a so lamkah ni. Nangmih tah he Diklai lamkah ni. Kai tah he Diklai lamkah ka om moenih.
and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;
24 Te dongah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui. Kai he amah ni tila na tangnah uh pawt atah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni,” a ti nah.
I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
25 Te dongah amah te, “Nang ulae,” a ti nauh. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Pakhat khaw a tongcuek ah nangmih ham kan thui van te ta?
They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
26 Nangmih kawng te thui ham neh laitloek ham muep om. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak la om. Kai khaw anih taengkah ka yaak te ni Diklai ah ka thui,” a ti nah.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
27 Amih taengah Pa kah a thui tila ming uh pawh.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Hlang capa te na pomsang uh daengah ni kai ni ti khaw, kamah lamkah ka saii pawt tih a pa loh kai n'thuituen vanbangla ka thui he khaw na ming uh eh.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
29 Te dongah kai aka tueih te kai taengah om tih anih kolo te ka saii taitu dongah kamah bueng n'hlahpham moenih,” a ti nah.
and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 Hekah a thui vanbangla amah te muep a tangnah uh.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Te dongah Jesuh loh amah aka tangnah Judah rhoek taengah, “Kai kah olka ah na naeh atah kai kah hnukbang taktak la na om uh.
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 Oltak te na ming uh van daengah ni oltak loh nangmih n'loeih sak eh,” a ti nah.
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 Te dongah Jesuh amah te, “Kaimih tah Abraham kah tiingan la ka om uh tih sal ka bi uh noek moenih. Metlam lae nang loh, 'Aka loeih la na om uh ni' na ti?” a ti nauh.
They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
34 Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, tholh aka saii boeih tah tholh kah sal la om.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Te dongah capa loh nangmih n'loeih sak atah aka loeih la rhep na om uh ni.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh tila ka ming. Tedae kai kah olka he nangmih ah a om pawt dongah kai ngawn hamla nan mae uh.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 Kai loh Pa taengkah ka hmuh te ka thui dae nangmih tah na pa taengkah na yaak uh te na saii uh,” a ti nah.
I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
39 Te dongah Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Kaimih napa tah Abraham ni,” a ti uh. Jesuh loh amih te, “Abraham kah ca la na om uh koinih Abraham kah khoboe te na saii uh ni.
They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40 Tedae kai Pathen taeng lamkah oltak ka yaak tih nangmih taengah aka thui hlang te ngawn ham na mae uh coeng. Abraham loh he tlam he a saii moenih.
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41 Nangmih loh na pa bisai te na saii uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Kaimih he Cukhalnah kah a sak moenih. A pa pakhat Pathen ka khueh uh,” a ti uh.
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
42 Jesuh loh amih te, “Pathen te na pa la om koinih kai loh Pathen taeng lamkah ka lo tih ka pawk coeng dongah kai nan lungnah uh ham om. Kai kamah lamloh ka pawk pawt tih anih long ni kai n'tueih.
Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43 Ba dongah kai kah olcal te na ming uh pawh. Kai kah olka te hnatun ham na coeng uh pawt dongah ni.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 Na pa lamkah rhaithae la na om uh rhoe tih na pa kah hoehhamnah te saii ham na ngaihuh. Anih te a cuekca lamkah hlang aka ngawn ni. A khuiah oltak a om pawt dongah oltak ah pai pawh. Laithae neh laithae napa la om tih a cal vaengah a laithae te a phoe.
'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 Tedae kai loh oltak ka thui dongah kai nan tangnah uh pawh.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Nangmih ah unim kai kah tholh aka toeltham? Oltak ka thui atah balae tih kai nan tangnah uh pawh?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Pathen taeng lamkah aka om loh Pathen kah olka te a hnatun. Te dongah na hnatun uh pawt khaw Pathen kah hut la na om uh pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
48 Judah rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Nang he Samaria hlang ni, rhaithae na kaem tila ka thui uh te a thuem moenih a?” a ti nauh.
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Jesuh loh, “Rhaithae ka kaem moenih, a pa te ni ka hinyah dae nangmih loh kai yah nan baiuh.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Kai loh kamah thangpomnah ka mae moenih. Tedae aka toem tih lai aka tloek te om ngawn.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
51 Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui. Khat khat loh kai ol a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah hmu loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
52 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Rhaithae na kaem te hnap ka ming uh. Abraham neh tonghma rhoek te duek coeng dae nang mai loh, ' Khat khat loh kai ol te a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah ten voel mahpawh, ' na ti. (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
53 A pa Abraham lakah tanglue la na om pawt nim? Anih khaw duek coeng, tonghma rhoek khaw duek uh coeng. Namah te u lam nim na ngai uh?” a ti nauh.
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Jesuh loh, “Kai loh kamah ka thangpom koinih kai kah thangpomnah te a honghi la om ni. Kai aka thangpom tah a pa ni. Amah te nangmih loh, ‘Mamih kah Pathen ni,’ na ti uh.
Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
55 Amah te na ming uh pawt cakhaw kai tah amah te ka ming. Amah ka ming pawt te ka thui koinih nangmih phek la laithae la ka om ni. Tedae amah te ka ming tih a ol te ka kuem coeng.
and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 Na pa Abraham loh kai kah khohnin a hmuh ham te a kohoe tih a hmuh vaengah omngaih,” a ti nah.
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Kum sawmnga na lo hlan dae Abraham na hmuh pawn a?” a ti nauh.
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, Abraham a om hlanah ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Te vaengah amah te dae ham lungto a rhuh uh. Tedae Jesuh loh a thuh tak tih bawkim lamkah vik cet.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
