John 8
1 Hanchu mitinin an ina an sea, aniatachu, Jisua chu Olive tânga a sea.
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 Anangtûk jînga ânmânin Biekina a se nôka. Mipuingei murdi a kôm an hôn tûpa; ânsunga anni ngei ha a minchu ngei phut zoia.
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 Balam minchupungei le Phariseengei han nupangnu ânrê lâitaka an sûrnu hah an hong tuonga, male an rênga an moton han amanu hah an mindinga.
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 Jisua kôm, “Minchupu, hi nupangnu hih ânrê lâitaka kin sûr ani.
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Ei Balamin Moses chongpêk angin chu hi nupangu hih lung leh dêng that ngêt rang ani. Atûn hin, nangman kho angin mo ni ti?” an tia.
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 Ma hah ama min ôkna ranga an ti ani, demna an man theina rangin. Aniatachu Jisua ân kûna, a kutruol leh pil a mizieka.
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 Ma anga indingin chong an rekel anghan ânthoi lita, male an kôm, “Nin lâia nunsie tho loitakin motontaka lung leh amanu hah dêng bak roi,” a tia.
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 Hanchu ân kûn nôka, a kutruol leh pil a miziek nôka.
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 A chong hah an rietin chu, a ulien dônin inkhat inkhatin, an rot riei zoia. Jisua hah athenin an mâk raka, nupangnu hah ma muna a lân ding chien lehan.
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 Jisua hah a hôn dinga, nupangnu kôm han, “Khonmo an om suo zoi? Tutên theiloi nang mintum rang om khâi mak ngei na?” a tia.
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 Amanu han a thuona, “Pu, tutên theiloi mi mintum mak ngei,” a tia. Jisua'n a kôm, “Asa, nônchu, kei khom theiloi nang mintum uol mu-ung. Se roh, hannirese nunsie tho nôk khâi no roh,”] a tia.
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 Jisua'n Phariseengei kôm a chong nôka. “Keima hi rammuol vâr ki ni,” a tia. “Tukhom mi jûi murdi chu ringna vâr dôn an ta, ijînga lôn tet no ni ngei.”
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 Phariseengeiin a kôm, “Atûn hin nu thurchi nanâk kêng ni misîr; nu thurchi misîr dik mak,” an tia.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 “Nimak,” Jisua'n an kôm, “Ku thurchi nanâk misîr khom ronga, ki misîr hih adik kêng. Keima chu kho renga mo ku juong le kho tieng mo ke se rang khom ki riet. Nangni chu kho renga mo ku juong aninônchu, kho tieng mo ke se rang riet mak chei.
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 Nangnin chu taksa balam angtakin roi nin tan ngâia; keiman chu tu roi te tan ngâi mu-ung.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 Ke lei tanna khom om senla, ko roi tanna chu dik atih; asikchu ke theivaia om ni mu unga; Pa mi tîrpu ko kôm a om sikin.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 Nin Balam lekhabua khom rietpuipu inik an inruola, imo an ti tak chu adik, tiin miziekin aom ani.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 Keiman ku thurchi nanâk ki misîra, male Pa mi tîrpu khomin ku thurchi a misîr sa ngâi,” a tia.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 Anni ngei han, “Khomo na Pa?” tiin ama an rekela., “Nangnin mi riet mak choia, ka Pa khom riet uol mak chei. Mi nin riet nisenla chu ka Pa khom riet nin ti zoi,” tiin Jisua'n a thuon ngeia.
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 Jisua'n hi ngei murdi hih Biekina chôiruol dôngna an darna mun khâltan sûnga a minchu lâia a ti ani. Tutên ama hah sûr mak ngei azora ala tung loi sikin.
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 Jisua'n an kôm, “Ke sepat rang kêng ani zoi; nangnin mi rok nin ta chu, nin sietnangei han thîng nin tih. Ke sena ranga se thei no tunui,” a tia.
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 Masikin Juda rachamneipungeiin, “Ke sena ranga se thei no tunui a ti hih amananâkin inthat rang a tina mini?” an tia.
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 Jisua'n a thuon ngeia, “Nangni chu hi rammuola mi nin ni. Kei chu chung tieng renga juong ki ni. Nangni chu hi rammuol renga nin ni, hannirese kei chu hi rammuol renga ni mu-ung.
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 Masika han nin sietnangei han thîng nin tih, tiin nangni ki ril ani. Male ‘Keima hih tumo Ki ni’ mi nin iem nônchu nin sietnangei han thi lelê nin tih,” a tia.
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 Anni ngei han, “Tumo ni ni?” tiin an rekela. Jisua'n, “Aphut renga nangni ki ril ani.
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 Nin chungroia hin misîr rang tamtak, nangni demna rang tamtak ko dôn. I-ih khomnirese, mi tîrpu chu mi diktak ani, ama renga ki riet kai ke rammuola ki ril ngâi ani.”
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 Jisua'n an kôm, Pa chungroi kêng a misîr ani ti riet thei mak ngeia.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 Masikin an kôm, “Miriem Nâipasal hih nin makhâi tika ‘Ama hah Keima ki ni’; ti le keima ka rachamin ite tho mu unga, Pa'n mi minchu kai ke ki misîr ani tiin riet sa nin tih.
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 Male mi tîrpu chu ko kôm a oma; ke thenin mi mâkrak maka, a lungdo ki sin bang ngâi sikin,” a tia.
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 Jisua'n thurchi a misîr ngei hah mi tamtakin an rieta, ama an iem zoi.
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 Masikin Jisua'n ama iem Judangei kôm han, “Ki minchuna nin jômin chu ku ruoisi diktak ngei nin ni rang;
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 chongtak riet nin ta, chongtak han nangni mojôk atih,” a tia.
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 Anni ngei han, “Abraham richisuonpârngei kêng kin ni, tute suoka la om mak me. ‘Suok renga nangni mojôk atih,’ ni ti hih khoi tina mini?” tiin an thuona.
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 Jisua'n an kôm, “Chongdiktak nangni ki ril: tukhom nunsie tho chu nunsie suok ani.
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 Nâipasalin suok nangni a mojôk vaiin kêng nin jôk tatak rang.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 Abraham richisuonpârngei nin ni ti ki riet. Hannoma nangnin ma that rangin nin pût ani, ki minchuna chong nin pom loi sikin.
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 Keiman ki misîr hih ka Pa mi min mu ani, nangni khom nin pa ngei nangni an ril anghan nin misîr ngâi.”
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 Anni ngei han, “Kin pa chu Abraham ani,” tiin an thuona. Jisua'n an kôm, “Abraham nâi diktak ngei nin ni nisenla chu a lei tho ngâi anghan nin tho rang ani,” tiin chong a mele ngeia.
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 “Ki sin lei tho ngei murdi chu Pathien renga chongdik ki riet ngei nangni ril hih ani, aniatachu atûn hin ma that rangin nin pût chien ani. Abraham'n chu ma anghin tho ngâi mak!
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 Nangni chu nin pa ngei lei tho ngâi anghan nin tho ani,” a tia. Anni ngei han, “Pathien vai kêng kin Pa dôn chu, keini hih a nâi diktak ngei kin ni,” tiin an thuona.
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 Jisua'n an kôm, “Pathien nin Pa ani tatakin chu, mi nin lungkham rang ania; Pathien renga juong ki ni sikin atûn hin nin lâia ko om ani. Keima rachama juong ni mu unga, ama tîr kêng ki ni, a tipe ngeia.
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 Ithomo ki misîr hih nin riet thei tet loi? Ku thurchi misîr hih nin mulungrîla nin mindon loi sika ani.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 Nin pa Diabol nâingei nin ni, male nin pa lungdo jûi nin nuom ani. Ama chu aphut renga mi that ngâi ani, male chongdik tieng khom inchel ngâi mak, dikna reng a dôn loi sikin. Milak a tho tikin ama lungdoa a tho ani ngâi, milakpa ani sikin, milak ngei murdi pa khom ani sa.
'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 Hannirese keima chu chongtak kêng ki misîr ngâi, masika han nin iem ngâi loi ani.
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Nin lâia tumo sietna tienga theiloi mi min chang thei rang? Chongtak ki misîr khomin ithomo nin iem loi?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 Tukhom Pathien renga juong chu Pathien chong a pom ngâia. Nikhomrese nangni chu Pathien renga nin ni loi sikin, a chong khom nin rangâi loi ani.”
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 Anni ngei han a kôm, “Nangma hih Samari mi male ramkhori no dôn kin ti hah dik mak mo?” tiin an rekela.
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Jisua'n an kôm, “Ramkhori dôn mu-ung. Ka Pa ki mirita, aniatachu, nangnin mi nin êsêl ani hi.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 Keima rang nanâk miritna rok ni mu unga. Aniatachu, a rokpu le ku ruthûla a jêkpu mi inkhat a om kêng.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
52 Anni ngei han a kôm, “Ramkhori no dôn khet tiin kin riet minthâr zoi! Abraham a thi zoia, dêipungei khom an thi suozoi, hannoma nangman chu ‘Ko chong jômpu chu thi tet no ni,’ ni tia, an tipe. (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 Kin Pa Abraham nêkin ni lien uol mo? Ama khom a thi zoi; dêipungei khom an thi suozoi. A tutak hamo ani angin nên bê?” an tia.
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 Jisua'n an kôm, “Keima nanâkin miritna a rok ninlang, ha miritna hah chu ite ni no ni. Kin Pathien nin ti, ka Pa hah mirita mi min ompu chu ani, tiin a thuona.
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 Nangnin chu ama hah riet tet mak chei, keiman chu ki riet ani. Ama riet mu-ung ki tiin chu nangni angin milak ki ni rang ani. Hannirese, ama ki rieta a chong khom ko jôm ngâi.
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 Nin pa Abraham'n ku juong a mu rang sikin a râiasân oka, ma anghan a mu tataka, a râiasân sabak ani.”
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 Anni ngei han a kôm, “Kum sômrangnga luo la kâi mak che ngah, Abraham nu mu na?” an tia.
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Jisua'n an kôm, “Chongdik kêng nangni ki ril,” tiin a thuon ngeia, “Abraham ân zir mân khom, ‘Keima’ chu ko om zoi.”
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 Hanchu a dêngna rang lung an rûta, hannirese Jisua ân thupa, Biekin renga a jôkpai zoi.
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.
