John 8
1 Jesus Olive mualtung ah pai hi.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Taciang zingtung in biakinn sung ah paikik a, mi theampo a kung ah hongpai uh hi; taciang to in, amate thuhil hi.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Taciang thukhamhil te le Pharisee te in palngul mawna a vawt laitak a mat numei khat hong paipui uh a; a laizang ah a koi zawk uh ciang,
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Jesus kung ah, Syapa awng, hi numei nu sia palngul mawna a vawt laitak a kiman a hihi.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Tu in Moses in thukham sung ah hibang te suangtum taw den tu in thu hong pia hi: ahihang nang bangbang ci tu ni ziam? ci uh hi.
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Amate in hibang in a ci uh sia, Jesus a mawsiat thei natu uh in aita a hi uh hi. Ahihang Jesus in a za ngawl bang in kun a, lei ah a khutzung taw lai at hi.
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 Amate in a ki zom in thu a dok uh ciang in, Jesus vandakto a amate tung ah, Note sung ah mawna a nei ngawl sia in deang masa tahen, ci hi.
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 Taciang kun kik a, lei ah lai atkik leleau hi.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 Tua thu amate in za uh a, sia le pha heakna in amate mawna kiphawksak ahi man in u hambel pan khat zawkciang khat a khakbel dong in nusia uh hi: Jesus bek nusia uh a, numei nu sia a lai ah ding nginge hi.
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 Jesus a dakto kik ciang in, numei nu simngawl kuama mu ngawl hi, Jesus in numei nu kung ah, Nangma hong mawsiat te koisung ziam? kuama in hong mawsak ngawl ahi ziam? ci hi.
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 Numei nu in, Topa awng, kuama in hong mawsak ngawl hi, ci hi. Jesus in ama kung ah, Kei zong hong mawsak ngawl khi hi: pai tan a, mawna vawt nawn heak in, ci hi.
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 Jesus in amate paupui kik a, Keima sia leitung khuavak ka hihi: ka nung hong zui peuma khuazing sung ah vak ngawl tu hi, ahihang nuntakna i khuavak nei tu hi, ci hi.
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 Tua ahikom Pharisee te in Jesus kung ah, nangma thu sia nangma ma in tetti na pang hi, na tetti pan na man ngawl hi, ci uh hi.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 Jesus in amate zo kik a, Keima thu sia keima ma in tettipang hi ka leng, ka tettipanna sia man veve hi: banghangziam cile koisungpan kong pai, ci le koisung ah pai tu, ci ka he hi, ahihang kongpan kong pai cile koisung ah pai tu ci note in nong son thei bua uh hi.
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 Note in ci le sa zui in thu na khen uh hi; kei ka hile kuama thu ka khen bua hi.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Taciang thu ka khen hial zong, ka thukhenna man hi: banghangziam cile keima bek hi ngawl khi hi, ahihang keima le hong sawlpa taw ka hi uh hi.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Na thukham uh sung ah zong, mihing ni i tettipanna sia man hi, ci ki at hi.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Keima thu sia keima in tetti ka pang hi, taciang hongsawl Pa in keima thu tettipang hi, ci hi.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Tua zawkciang in amate in Jesus kung ah, na Pa koisung ziam? ci uh hi. Jesus in, Note in na he bua uh hi, taciang ka Pa zong na he bua uh hi: keima hong he le uhte, ka Pa zong na he tu uh hi, ci in zo hi.
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 Hi thu te sia Jesus in biakinn sung ah thu a hil kawm in, sumpi kuang koina mun ah a son thu a hihi: taciang kuama in Ama a man ngam bua uh hi; banghangziam cile a hun a cing balai hi.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Tua zawkciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, Ka pai natu lampi ah ka pai tu a, note in nong zong tu uh hi, taciang na mawna uh sung ah na thi tu uh hi: ka pai na mun ah note nong pai thei bua tu uh hi, ci hi.
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 Tua zawkciang in Judah mite in, ka pai na mun ah note nong pai thei bua tu uh hi, ci ahikom, Ama le Ama ki that tu a hi tu ziam? ci uh hi.
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 Jesus in amate tung ah, Note sia nuailam mi na hi uh hi; kei sia tunglam mi ka hihi: note hileitung mi na hi uh hi; kei sia leitung mi ka hi bua hi.
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 Tua ahikom, na mawna uh sung ah na thi tu uh hi, ci note tung ah kong ci hi: banghangziam cile keima sia Ama khi hi, ci na up ngawl uh hu in na mawna uh sung ah na thi tu uh hi, ci hi.
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 Tua zawkciang in amate in, Nang a kua ni ziam? ci uh hi. Taciang Jesus in amate tung ah, A kipatcil pan kipan in kong son sa bangma ka hihi.
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 Note tung ah kong son tu le thu ka khen tu tampi om hi: ahihang kei hong sawlpa sia a thuman hi; taciang Ama tung pan ka zak thu te leitung mite tung ah ka son hi, ci hi.
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 Jesus in Pa thu a son na amate in a tel bua uh hi.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Tua zawkciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, Mihing Tapa na khai uh ciang in keima sia Ama khi hi, ci le, keima thu taw bangma vawt ngawl khi hi; ahihang Pa in hong hilna bang in, hi thu te kong son hi, ci na he tu uh hi.
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 Taciang kei hong sawlpa sia keima taw om hi: Pa in keima bek hong nusia ngawl hi; banghangziam cile Ama lungkim nate ka seam tawntung hi, ci hi.
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 Hi thu te a son zawkciang in, mi tampi in Ama um uh hi.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Tua zawkciang in Jesus in Ama a um Judah te tung ah, Ka thu sung ah na kip uh a hile, ka nungzui tatak na hi uh hi;
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 Taciang thutak na he tu uh a, tua thutak in hong suaktasak tu hi, ci hi.
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 Amate in, kote sia Abraham suan te ka hi uh hi, taciang kuama kung ah saltang ngei ngawl khu hi: bangbang in nang in, na suakta tu uh hi, hong ci ni ziam? ci in zo uh hi.
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 Jesus in amate tung ah, A tatak in kong ci hi, a kuamapo mawna a vawt peuma mawna i sila a hihi.
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
35 Taciang sila sia a tawntung in innsung ah om tawntung ngawl hi: ahihang Tapa ahile om tawntung hi. (aiōn g165)
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 Tua ahikom Tapa in hong suaktasak a hile, na suakta takpi tu uh hi.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Note sia Abraham suan te na hi uh hi, ci ka he hi; ahihang keima that tu in hong zong nu hi, banghangziam cile ka thu in note sung ah mun nei ngawl hi.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 Ka Pa taw ka mu thu te ka son hi: taciang na pa uh taw na mu uh te na vawt uh hi, ci hi.
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 Amate in, Abraham sia ka pa uh hi, ci zo uh hi. Jesus in amate tung ah, Abraham i tate na hi uh le, Abraham i nasep te seam tu nu hi.
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 Ahihang tu in, Pathian tung pan ka zak thutak a son keima hong that nuam in hong zong nu hi: Abraham in hibang te vawt ngawl hi.
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 Note in na pa uh i septe na seam uh hi, ci hi. Tua zawkciang in amate in, kote paktat na pan a piang lamlakta hi ngawl khu hi; Pa khat ka nei uh a, tasia in Pathian a hihi, ci uh hi.
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 Jesus in amate tung ah, Pathian sia na Pa uh hile, keima hong it tu nu hi: banghangziam cile keima sia Pathian kungpan piang in hongpai ka hihi; keima thu in kongpai bua hi, ahihang Ama in hong sawl hi.
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 Ka thuson te bang hang in um thei ngawl nu ziam? ka thu na zak thei ngawl uh hang hi.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 Note sia na pa uh doaimangpa i tate na hi uh hi, taciang na pa uh i deina bek na seam uh hi. Ama sia a kipatcil pan kipan in tualthat pa a hihi, taciang thutak sung ah om ngawl hi, banghangziam cile ama sung ah thutak om ngawl hi. Leilotthu a son ciang in, ama i nei te bek son hi: banghangziam cile ama sia leilotthu son pa hi a, leilotthu i pa a hihi.
'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 Taciang note in thutak ka son hu in, nong um bua uh hi.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Note sung ah a kua in ka maw hunlam hong lak thei tu nu ziam? Taciang thutak ka son a hile, banghang in hong um ngawl nu ziam?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Pathian mite in Pathian thu ngai uh hi: tua ahikom, note Pathian mi na hi ngawl uh hang in Pathian thu na ngai bua uh hi, ci hi.
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 mite in zo kik uh a, Nangma sia Samaria mi na hihi, taciang nangma doai vei ni hi, kong ci uh sia man hi ngawl ziam? ci uh hi.
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Jesus in, Doai vei ngawl khi hi; note in hong zakta ngawl nu hi, ahihang keima in ka Pa ka zakta hi.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Taciang keima minthanna tu zong ngawl khi hi: ama minthan natu zong in thu a khen khat om hi.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
51 A tatak in kong ci hi, khatpo in ka kammal a zui le bangmahun in thina mu ngawl tu hi, ci hi. (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 Tua zawkciang in Judah te in, tu in doai vei ni hi, ci ka he uh hi. Abraham le kamsang te thi siat zo hi; ahihang nangma in, khatpo in ka thu a zui le bangmahun in thina tep ngawl tu hi, na ci hi, ci uh hi. (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 Nangma sia ka pu uh Abraham sang in thupi zaw ni ziam? Abraham thi zo hi, taciang kamsang te zong thi siat zo hi: nangma le nangma kua ki sa ni ziam? ci uh hi.
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Jesus in, Keima le keima ka ki thupisak le, tua ka ki thupisak na sia bangma hi ngawl hi: keima hong thuphisak sia ka Pa hi a; note i Pathian na ci uh sia a hihi.
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 Note in Ama na he bua lai uh hi; ahihang keima in ka he hi: taciang keima in ka he bua hi ka ci le, note bangma in leilot thuson ka hi tu hi: ahihang keima in Ama ka he a, a thu zong ka ni hi.
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 uh Abraham in keima ni mu tu lawp mama hi: taciang mu zo a, angtang mama hi, ci hi.
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Tua zawkciang in Judah te in a kung ah, Nangma sia kum sawm nga zong pha ngawl lai napi, Abraham mu zo ni ziam? ci uh hi.
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Jesus in amate tung ah, A tatak in kong ci hi, Abraham pian ma in kei ka om hi, ci hi.
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Tua zawkciang in amate in suangtum te tawm uh a, den sawm uh hi: ahihang Jesus bu a, biakinn sung pan pusuak hi, taciang amate zanglai pan in kantan hi.
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.
