< Johan 11 >

1 Te vaengah Mary neh a manuca Martha kah a kho Bethany kah Lazarus tah satlo la om.
And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
2 Tekah Mary tah Boeipa te botui neh aka hluk tih a kho te a sam neh aka huih ni. Anih kah nganpa Lazarus tah tlo.
and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —
3 Te dongah amih boeina loh Jesuh te a tah tih, “Boeipa, na lungnah te tlo coeng he,” a ti nah.
therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
4 Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah, “Hekah tloh tah dueknah la om mahpawh tedae Pathen kah thangpomnah ham ni. Te daengah ni te lamloh Pathen capa te a thangpom eh?,” a ti nah.
and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
5 Te vaengah Jesuh loh Martha, a mana neh Lazarus te a lungnah.
And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
6 Tedae a tloh te a yaak vaengah a om nah hmuen ah hnin nit bet naeh.
when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
7 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek te, “Judea la koep cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
8 Hnukbang rhoek loh amah te, “Rhabbi, Judah rhoek loh nang dae ham m'mae uh pueng lalah te la koep na cet aya?,” a ti uh.
the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
9 Jesuh loh, “Hnin at te khonoek loh hlainit a om moenih a? Khat khat long ni khothaih ah a pongpa atah he Diklai kah vangnah te a hmuh dongah tongtah pawh.
Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
10 Tedae pakhat loh khoyin ah a pongpa atah anih ah vangnah a om pawt dongah a tongtah,” a ti nah.
and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
11 Hekah he a thui phoeiah amih te, “Mamih paya Lazarus ip tih anih haeng ham ka cet ni,” a ti nah.
These things he said, and after this he saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
12 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “Boeipa, a ih atah daem bitni,” a ti nauh.
therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
13 Jesuh loh anih kah dueknah kawng a thui. Tedae amih loh aka ip kah duemnah kawng a thui la a poek uh.
but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
14 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah sayalh la, “Lazarus duek coeng.
Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
15 Tedae nangmih ham ka omngaih. Te daengah ni pahoi ka om pawt te na tangnah uh eh. Tedae anih taengla cet uh sih,” a ti nah.
and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe, ) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
16 Te dongah Didymus la a khue hnukbang Thomas loh, “Amah taengah duek puei ham mamih khaw cet uh sih,” a ti.
therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'
17 Jesuh a pha vaengah anih te hlan khuiah hnin li a om coeng te a hmuh.
Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
18 Bethany te Jerusalem phatom kah phalong hlainga tluk a hla ah om.
And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek khaw Martha neh Mary te a nganpa kongah suem hamla muep pawk uh.
and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
20 Te dongah Jesuh ha lo te Martha loh a yaak vaengah anih te a doe. Tedae Mary tah im ah ngol.
Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
21 Te vaengah Martha loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek pawt sue.
Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
22 Tedae tahae pataeng Pathen taengah na bih te tah Pathen loh nang m'paek ni tila ka ming,” a ti nah.
but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
23 Jesuh loh anih te, “Na nganpa te thoo bitni,” a ti nah.
Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
24 Martha loh, “Hnukkhueng khohnin kah thohkoepnah dongah thoo ni tila ka ming ta,” a ti nah.
Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
25 Jesuh loh anih taengah, “Kai tah thohkoepnah neh hingnah la ka om. Kai ah aka tangnah tah duek cakhaw hing ni.
Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
26 Kai aka tangnah tih aka hing boeih tah kumhal duela duek loengloeng mahpawh, he he na tangnaha?” a ti nah. (aiōn g165)
and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age; (aiōn g165)
27 Amah te, “Thuem ngawn Boeipa, nang tah Diklai la aka lo Pathen capa Khrih ni tila kan tangnah,” a ti nah.
believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
28 Hekah he a thui phoeiah cet tih a mana Mary a khue tih, “Saya ha pai tih nang n'khue,” duem a ti nah.
And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
29 Te loh a yaak vaengah hlat thoo tih Jesuh taengla cet.
she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
30 Te vaengah kho khuila Jesuh ham pha hlan dae Martha loh a doe nah hmuen ah om pueng.
and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
31 Im ah anih aka om puei Judah rhoek neh anih aka suem rhoek loh Mary hlat thoo tih a caeh te a hmuh uh vaengah aka rhap ham hlan la cet tila a poek uh tih a vai uh.
the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'
32 Mary loh Jesuh om nah a pha tih amah te a hmuh vaengah a kho kung ah bakop tih, “Boeipa, he ah na om koinih ka nganpa duek mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
33 Jesuh loh anih a rhah neh anih aka puei uh Judah rhoek kah a rhah te a hmuh vaengah a mueihla thanueih tih thuen.
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
34 Te dongah, “Melam anih na khueh uh?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te, “Boeipa, ha lo lamtah so lah,” a ti nauh.
'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
35 Jesuh tah mikphi bo.
Jesus wept.
36 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Lazarus bahoeng a lungnah ke,” a ti uh.
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
37 Tedae amih khuikah hlangvang loh, “Mikdael kah mik te aka tueng sak long he te khaw a duek pawt ham a saii thai moenih a?,” a ti uh.
and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'
38 Te dongah Jesuh tah a khuiah thanueih tih hlan la koep ha pawk. Tedae hlan te lungko la om tih tungto khoep yalh.
Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
39 Jesuh loh, “Lungto te khoe uh lah,” a ti nah hatah aka duek kah a ngannu Martha loh, “Boeipa, hninli om coeng tih rhim coeng,” a ti nah.
Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
40 Jesuh loh anih te, ““Na tangnah atah Pathen kah thangpomnah na hmuh ni tila nang taengah ka thui moenih a?” a ti nah.
Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
41 Te dongah lungto te a khoe uh. Te phoeiah Jesuh loh a mik te a dai hang tih, “A Pa, kai ol na hnatun dongah nang te kan uem.
They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;
42 Te phoeiah kai kah he na yaak yoeyah tila ka ming. Tedae hlangping loh m'pai thil dongah nang loh kai nan tueih te a tangnah uh ham ka thui,” a ti.
and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'
43 Te phoeiah ol ue neh pang tih, “Lazarus, pawk ha cu,” a ti nah.
And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
44 Te vaengah aka duek te a kut a kho himbaipen neh a yen tih a hman kah te himbaica neh a yol doela ha thoeng. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Anih te hlam uh lamtah caeh sak uh,” a ti nah.
and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'
45 Te dongah Judah khuikah te yet, Mary taengla a pha tih a saii te aka hmu long tah amah te a tangnah uh.
Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
46 Tedae amih khuikah a ngen tah Pharisee rhoek taengla cet uh tih Jesuh loh a saii te a thui pauh.
but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
47 Te dongah khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh khoboei a hueh uh tih, “Hekah hlang loh miknoek muep a saii dongah metlam n'saii eh?
the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
48 Hetlam he anih n'hlahpham uh koinih anih te boeih a tangnah uh ni. Te vaengah Roman rhoek te ha lo uh vetih mamih kah a hmuen neh namtu khaw a khuen ni,” a ti uh.
if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'
49 Tedae amih khuikah pakhat, tevaeng kum kah khosoihham la aka om Kaiaphas loh amih te, “Nangmih loh pakhat khaw na ming uh moenih.
and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,
50 Hlang pakhat loh pilnam yueng la duek vetih namtu tah boeih a poci pawt koinih nangmih ham rhoei ngai tila na poek uh moenih,” a ti nah.
nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
51 Tedae hekah he amah lamkah a thui moenih. Tedae te kum kah khosoihham la a om dongah namtu ham Jesuh duek la a cai te ni a phong coeng.
And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
52 Te phoeiah namtom ham bueng pawt tih taekyak tangtae Pathen ca rhoek te khaw pakhat la coicip ham pawn ni.
and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
53 Te dongah te khohnin lamloh amah te ngawn ham a moeh uh.
From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
54 Te dongah Jesuh loh Judah rhoek lakliah sayalh la pongpa voelpawh. Tedae kho yoei kah khosoek Ephraim la a khue kho ah cet tih hnukbang rhoek neh naeh uh.
Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
55 Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah yoom tah om tom coeng. Te dongah amamih te ciim ham yoom hlanah paeng lamloh Jerusalem la muep cet uh.
And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
56 Jesuh te a toem uh tih bawkim khuiah a pai uh vaengah, “Nangmih ta metlam na poek uh? Khotue la ha pawk loengloeng mahpawh, “tila khat neh khat thui uh thae.
they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?'
57 Tedae khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh, “Khat khat loh a om nah a ming atah amah te tuuk ham ha puen saeh, “tila ol a paek uh coeng.
and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.
