John 11
1 Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Lazaru ak mingnaak thlang pynoet taw tlo hy. Anih taw Meri ingkaw a naa Martha a awmnaak Bethani khaw awhkaw thlang na awm hy.
2 (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)
Vawhkaw Meri vetaw ak tlo Lazaru a nanu, bawktui ing Bawipa ce syp nawh a Lusam ing a khaw ak thut peekkung ce ni.
3 So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."
Cedawngawh cekqawi cingna ing Jesu ce awi cah hy nih, “Bawipa, nang ing na lungnaak thlang ce tlo hy,” tina hy nih.
4 Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
Ce ak awi ce Jesu ing ang zaak awh, “Vawhkaw tlawhnaak ve thihnaak hly kawi am ni. Ve a tlohnaak ak caming Khawsa Capa taw kyihcahna awm kaw,” tina qawi hy.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Jesu ing Martha cingna ingkaw a napa ce lungna hy.
6 When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.
Cehlai Lazaru ce tlo hy ti ang zaak awh, ce a hun awh khaw hih voei awmtaak hun hy.
7 Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea."
Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi venawh, “Jerusalem na cet tlaih hlah u sih nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
8 "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"
Cekkhqi ing, “Ikawmyihna cawngpyikung, tihhin ca awh ni Judahkhqi ing lung ing khawng aham ami ni teng ka ti, ceh ham nang cai bai nawh nu?” tina uhy.
9 "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees the light of this world.
Jesu ing, “Khawnghi hypoet awh khawnoek pahqa hlaihih awm hy ka ti my? Ve khawmdek vang na ce awm nawh khaw a huh thai dawngawh, khawdai awh ak cet thlang taw am bah kaw.
10 But if a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
Khaw amang dang dawngawh, khawmthan awh ni thlang ang bah hy,” tinak khqi hy.
11 He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
Ve ak awi ak kqawn boeih coengawh cekkhqi venawh, “Ni pyi Lazaru taw ip hawh hy; cehlai cet nyngsaw thawh tlaih kawng nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
12 "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
A hubatkhqi ing, “Bawipa, anih ce a ih awhtaw leek lawt bit kaw,” tina uhy.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
Jesu ing a thihnaak akawng ni ak kqawn hlai hy, a hubatkhqi ing taw ih mailai ni ak kqawn namih hy, tina poek uhy.
14 So then He told them plainly,
Cedawngawh cekkhqi venawh ak zoei cana kqawn pek khqi tlaih hy, “Lazaru taw thi hawh hy.
15 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him."
Cawh am ka awm nangmih aham zeel nyng, cawh ni nangmih ing namik cangnaak hly,” tinak khqi hy.
16 "Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "that we may die with him."
Cawh Thomas ing hubat ak changkhqi venawh, “Anih ing thih haih aham, ningnih awm cet lawt u sih cet uh,” tinak khqi hy.
17 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.
Ami pha awhtaw, Lazaru ce phyi khuiawh khaw phlinyn awm hawh hy, tice Jesu ing sim hy.
18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;
Bethani khaw taw Jerusalem khaw awhkawng meng hih am hla hy.
19 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
A napa a thih dawngawh Meri ingkaw Martha ce hloep aham thlang khawzah law uhy.
20 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
Jesu law hy tice Martha ing ang zaak awh, ak do na ce cet hy, Meri taw im awh awm hy.
21 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.
Martha ing Jesu a venawh, “Bawipa, nang mah na awm mantaw, ka napa am thi voei.
22 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."
Cehlai tuh awm Khawsa avenawh na thoeh a saqui ce ni pe kaw, tice sim nyng,” tina hy.
23 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.
Jesu ing a venawh, “Na napa ce tho tlaih kaw,” tina hy.
24 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."
Martha ing, khawnghi dyt nawh thawh tlaihnaak tym a pha awhtaw, tho tlaih kaw, tice sim nyng,” tina hy.
25 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
Jesu ing a venawh, “Kai taw thawhtlaihnaak ingkaw hqingnaak na awm nyng. Kai anik cangnaak thlang taw thi seiawm hqing kaw.
26 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
U awm hqing nawh kai anik cangnaak taw ityk awm am thi voel kaw. Ve ve nak cangnaak aw?” tina hy. (aiōn g165)
27 "Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
Anih ing, “Oeih, Bawipa, nang taw Khrih, khawmdek awh ak law hly kawi Khawsa Capa ni, tice nik cangna nyng,” tina hy.
28 After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, "The Rabbi is here and is asking for you."
Ce ak awi ce ak kqawn coengawh, cet nawh a naa Meri ce a venna khy hy. “Cawngpyikung law hawh hy, nang nik thoem hy,” tina hy.
29 So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him.
Meri ing ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh, ang tawnna tho nawh a venna cet hy.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
Cawh Jesu ce khawk khuina lut hlan hy, Martha ing ang hqumnaak a hun awh ni a awm hyn hy.
31 So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud there.
Im awh Meri amik hloep Judakhqi ing, tho hqoet nawh a ceh ce ami huh awh hquut uhy, phyi na ak kqah na cet vang, tina mih hy tina poek uhy.
32 Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
Meri ing Jesu a awmnaak hun ce pha nawh anih ce a huh awh, a khawkung awh koep nawh, “Bawipa, nang na awm mantaw ka napa amak thi hly,” tina hy.
33 Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,
Anih ang kqang ingkaw anih mi amik law haih Judahkhqi ang kqang ce a huh awh, ak khuina kqang nawh kawsee hy.
34 though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.
“Hana nami soei?” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing, “Bawipa, law nawhtaw toek lah,” tina uhy.
35 Jesus wept.
Jesu kqang hy.
36 "See how dear he held him," said the Jews.
Judahkhqi ing, “Toek lah uh, i ikawmyih aih na nu a lungnaak ce!” ti uhy.
37 But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?"
Cehlai thlang vang ing, “Mikhyp ak qoei sakkung ve ak thlang ing anih ve ama thihnaak aham am sai hly thai nawh hy voei nu?” ti uhy.
38 Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.
Jesu taw ak kawkhuiawh ak kawseet doena phyi ce pha hy. Ce a phyi taw luk kawk na awm nawh lungpei ing tleng uhy.
39 "Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
“Lungpei ce thoeng uh, tinak khqi hy. Cehlai thlak thi a nanu Martha ing, “Bawipa, tuhtaw a baw khqim hawh hy voei, phlinyn di hawh nawh,” tina hy.
40 "Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"
Jesu ing, “Nak cangnaak awhtaw Khawsa a boeimangnaak hu kawp tinawh am ka ti nawh aw?” tina hy.
41 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.
Cedawngawh lungpei ce thoeng pe uhy. Cawh Jesu ing hak toek nawh, “Ka Pa, kak awi ning ngaih pe tik saw zeel nyng.
42 I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me."
Kak awi ning ngai pe poepa hyk ti tice sim nyng. Nang ing kai ni tyi hyk ti tice vawhkaw ak dyi thlangkhqi ing amik cangnaak thai aham ve ak awi ve kqawn nyng,” tina hy.
43 After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
Ve ak awi ak kqawn boet coengawh, Jesu ing khawteh na, “Lazaru cawn law hlah,” tina hy.
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."
Cawh thlak thi taw a kut a khaw hi ing a zeen doena cawn law nawh, a haai awm hi ing a zeen khoep na awm saw, Jesu ing, “Hi ce hlam pe unawh ceh sak uh,” tinak khqi hy.
45 Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;
Meri ak hqip law Juda thlang khawzah ing, Jesu a them sai ce ami huh awh, ak khanawh cangnaak ce ta uhy.
46 though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.
Cehlai thlang vang tloek ce Farasikhqi venna cet unawh Jesu ing them a sai ce kqawn pe uhy.
47 Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
Cawh khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi ing Sanhedrin ngawihcunnaak ce sai uhy. “Ikaw ni sai lah voei uh? Ve ak thlang ing kawpoek kyi ik-oeih khawzah sai hawh hy.
48 If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."
Vemyihna ni hlah mantaw, thlang boeih ing cangna hawh kawm uh, cawh Rom thlangkhqi law kawm usaw ni tui ni khaw ve lo law hawh kawm uh,” ti uhy.
49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.
Cawh, a mingmih anglakawh Kaiapha ak mingnaak thlang pynoet, ce a kum awh khawsoeih boei khyt na ak awm ing, “Ikaw awm am sim uhyk ti!
50 You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."
Rampum thlang a plawci naak anglakawhtaw thlang pynoet a thih nep bet hy tice am sim uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
51 It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus was to die for the nation,
Ve ak awi ve amah poek awh ap kqawn hy, ce a kum awh khawsoeih boei khyt na a awm amyihna Juda thlangkhqi ham Jesu thi kaw tice lamnaa na ak kqawn hawh ni,
52 and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.
ce a qam doeng ham am nawh ak plam Khawsa cakhqi ce cawi boeih nawh pynoet na a taaknaak ahamni.
53 So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.
Cedawngawh ce a nyn awhkawng him aham teng hawh uhy.
54 Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.
Cedawngawh Jesu taw Juda thlang kqeng anglakawh ang dang qoeng na am cet voel hy. Qamkoh a venawh kaw ak awm Ephraim khaw a venawh cet nawh, cawh ce a hubatkhqi mi awm uhy.
55 The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
Judahkhqi a Loentak Poei a pha tawm awhtaw cehtaak Poei hlanawh silh qu aham thlang khawzah ing khaw a qam awhkawng Jerusalem na ce cet uhy.
56 They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
Cawh Jesu ce sui unawh, bawkim khuiawh dyih unawh doet qu uhy, “Ikawmyihna nak poek? Poei awh am law hly nawh nu?” ti uhy.
57 Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
Cehlai khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi ing, u ingawm Jesu ce a huh awhtaw, a mingmih a venawh kqawn pe nawh, tu aham awi pe hyt uhy.
