11 Nang taengah rhep, rhep kan thui, m' ming te n'thui tih m'hmuh te ni m' phong. Tedae kaimih kah olphong te na ming uh moenih.
Amen Amen I say to you that what we know we speak and what we have seen we bear witness to, and the witness of us not you people receive.
12 Nangmih taengah diklai koe ka thui vaengah na tangnah uh pawt atah nangmih taengah vaan koe te ka thui koinih metlam na tangnah uh eh?
If the [things] earthly I have told you and not you believe, how if I may tell to you the [things] heavenly will you believe?
13 Te dongah vaan lamkah aka rhum hlang capa pawt koinih vaan la luei uh mahpawh.
And no [one] has gone up into heaven only except the [One] out of heaven having come down, the Son of Man (who is being in heaven. *KO)
14 Moses loh khosoek ah rhul a tai bangla hlang capa khaw tai ham a kuek van.
And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
so that everyone who is believing (in Him *N+kO) (not may perish but *K) may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 Pathen loh Diklai a lungnah tangloeng tih khueh duen capa te a paek. Amah aka tangnah boeih tah poci pawt vetih dungyan hingnah a dang ni. (aiōnios g166)

Not for sent God the Son (of Him *ko) into the world that He may judge the world, but that may be saved the world through Him.
18 Amah aka tangnah tah laitloek thil mahpawh, tedae aka tangnah pawt tah Pathen capa khueh duen ming te a tangnah pawt dongah a tangtae la lai a tloek thil coeng.
The [one] believing on Him not is judged; the [one] but not believing already has been judged because not he has believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Laitloeknah he om ngawn coeng. Vangnah tah Diklai la ha pawk coeng dae hlang rhoek loh a khoboe thae a khueh dongah vangnah lakah yinnah te lat a lungnah uh.
This now is the judgement that the Light has come into the world, and loved men rather the darkness than the Light; were for of them evil the deeds.
20 A thae la aka khoboe boeih loh vangnah te a hmuhuet tih a khoboe te a toeltham pawt ham ni vangnah khuila ha pawk pawh.
Everyone for evil practicing hates the Light and not comes to the Light so that not may be exposed the works of him;
21 Oltak aka saii tah vangnah khuila ha pawk. Te daengah ni Pathen ming neh a saii a bitat te a phoe sak eh,” a ti nah.
the [one] however practicing the truth comes to the Light that may be manifest his works that in God have been done.
22 He phoeiah Jesuh tah a hnukbang rhoek neh Judah kho la pawk. Te vaengah amih taengah tapkhoeh om tih a nuem.
After these things came Jesus and the disciples of Him into the Judean land, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
23 Salim Johan long khaw Salim kaep kah Aenon ah om tih a nuem. Tui khaw muep a om tapkhoeh dongah ha pawk uh vaengah a nuem uh.
Was now also John baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because waters many were there. and they were coming and were being baptized;
24 Johan te thongim ah hlak la a om hlan dongah ni.
Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
25 Te phoeiah Johan kah hnukbang rhoek te Judah hoel neh cimcaihnah kawng olpungnah om.
Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N+KO) about purification.
26 Te dongah Johan te a paan uh tih, “Rhabbi, anih ke Jordan rhalvangan la nang taengah om tih, a kawng na phong dae ta. Anih loh a nuem dongah a taengla boeih ha pawk uh coeng ke,” a ti nauh.
And they came to John and said to him; Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you yourself have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.
27 Johan loh a doo tih, “Anih te vaan lamloh paek la om pawt koinih hlang loh pakhat khaw a dang thai moenih,” a ti nah.
Answered John and said; Nothing is able a man to receive (and not *N+kO) (one *no) only unless it shall be given to him from heaven.
28 Nangmih loh kai taengah na phong uh te, 'Kai tah Khrih moenih, tedae a hmaikah a tueih te ni, ' ka ti.
Yourselves you yourselves to me bear witness that I said (that: *n) (I myself *o) Not am I myself the Christ, but for sent I am before Him.
29 Yulokung loh vasakung te a khueh la om dae yulokung kah paya long tah khueh pawh. Aka pai tih aka hnatun loh yulokung kah ol dongah omngaihnah neh omngaih. Te dongah ka omngaihnah tah soep coeng.
The [one] having the bride [the] bridegroom is. the now friend of the bridegroom, the [one] having stood and listening for him, with joy rejoices because of the voice of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy of mine has been fulfilled.
30 Anih te a rhoeng mak atah, ka tlak khaw a kuek mai coeng.
Him it behooves to increase, me myself however to decrease.
31 A so lamkah aka pawk tah hlang boeih soah om. Diklai ah aka om tah diklai kah la om tih diklai lamkah te a thui. Vaan lamkah aka pawk tah a soah boeih om.
The [One] from above coming above all is. The [one] being from the earth from the earth is and from the earth speaks. The [One] from heaven coming above all is;
32 A hmuh neh a yaak te a phong. Tedae anih kah olphong te doe uh pawh.
(and *k) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
33 Anih kah olphong aka doe loh Pathen tah oltak ni tila kutnoek a daeng coeng.
The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
34 Anih te Pathen loh a tueih dongah Pathen kah olthang ni a thui. Mueihla a paek te khaw a tarhing a khueh pah moenih.
He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO) the Spirit.
35 Pa loh capa te a lungnah dongah a cungkuem he a kut ah a paek.
The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
36 Capa aka tangnah loh dungyan hingnah a khueh. Tedae capa ol aka aek tah hingnah hmu pawt tih anih loh Pathen kah kosi a rhaeh thil. (aiōnios g166)
The [one] believing in the Son has life eternal; the [one] however not obeying the Son not will behold life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (aiōnios g166)
