John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Acunkäna Jesuh Kalile hne da citki, Judahe naw hnim hlü u se Judah hne da am cit hlü.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
Judahea Sam Pawi cäh law se,
3 His brethren therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
a nae naw, “Na hnukläke naw na pawhmsah ami hmuh vaia, ahin üngkhyüh Judah hnea cita.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
“U naw amäta ngminga ngthang vai ngja hlü lü, anghmüa i am pawh khawi u. Hin akcanga na jah pawh üng, khawmdek avan naw ksing se,” ami ti.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
(Amäta nae hngawh naw pi am jum u.)
6 Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.
Jesuh naw, “Ka kcün am pha law ham; nangmia kcün cun aläa pha lawki.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.
“Khawmdek naw nangmi am ning jah hneng thei, ami pawhmsah am dawki ka pyena phäh kei na hnengki ni.
8 Go ye up to this feast: I go not up yet to this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
“Nangmi pawia jeng cit ua, kei ta akcün am a pha law hama phäha tuh pawia am cit hlü ham veng,” a ti.
9 When he had said these words to them, he abode still in Galilee.
Acun jah mtheh lü, Jesuh Kalile khawa ve hamki.
10 But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
A nae pawia ami jeng ceh käna, Jesuh pi khyangea käh ksinga anghmüa heng cit hngaki.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
Judah ngvaie naw pawia sui hü u lü, “Hawia veki ni?” ami ti.
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
Khyang he naw Jesuha mawng ampyua sumkyemkie. Akhäk naw, “Ani ta khyang kdaw ni,” ti se, avang naw, “Am daw, khyang jah mhleiki ni,” ami ti.
13 Yet no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Acunsepi, Judah ngvaie ami jah kyüha phäh u naw angdanga am pyen u.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Pawia nghning k’um üng, Jesuh naw Temple k’uma jeng cit lü Pamhnama ngthu jah mtheiki.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Judah ngvaie naw, “Hin, i pi am ngthei khawiki naw ihawkba kca ksingki ni?” ti u lü, münakie.
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Jesuh naw, “Ka ning jah mtheia ngthu hin kamäta ngaiha ka ning jah mthei am ni. Na tüi lawki Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia ngthua kyaki.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
“Au pi, ania ngjak hlü biloki naw ka ngthu pyen hin Pamhnama ngthu ja, kamäta ngaiha ka pyena kyaki aw, ti cun ksing khai.
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
“Amäta mhnüna ngthu pyenki cun amäta dawnak, hlüngtainak vai suiki ni. Acunsepi ani tüih lawkia hlüngtainak vai suiki cun ngsungpyun lü mkhyenak ani üng am ve.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
Mosi naw Thum ning jah peki am niki aw? Mat naw pi Thum am nami läki. Ise nami na hnim khaia nami ngtängki ni?” a ti.
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth about to kill thee?
Khyang he naw, “Khawyai naw a ning venak ni; u naw ning hnim hlüki ni,” ti u lü, ami msang.
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Jesuh naw, “Müncankse mat ka pawh üng avan nami müncankie.
22 Moses therefore gave to you circumcision; ( not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
“Ahina phäha ni Mosi naw vun mawih vaia Thum ning jah pe se (Acun cun Mosi üng tüna am kya, nami pupae üngkhyüh tüneikia kpamica üng ami na bilawh khawia kyaki), Sabbath mhnüp üng pi kpamicaa vun nami mawikie.
23 If a man on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath?
“Sabbath üng pi kpamicaa vun mawih uki lü, Mosia Thum lümkankia am a kya üng, kei naw Sabbath mhnüp üng khyang ka mdaw bea phäh ka khana ise am nami jeki ni?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
“Hmai teng u lü ngthu käh mkhyah ua, ngsungpyun dawkyakia mtai ua,” a ti.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
Jerusalem mlüha ka avang naw, “Hin hin Judah ngvaie naw hnim vaia ami büa khyang am niki aw?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
“Teng u, khyangea ksunga ngthu pyen se, i pi am ti na be u. Ani hin Mesijah ti lü ngvaie naw akcanga ksing pängki he aw?
27 But we know this man where he is from: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth where he is from.
Mesijah a law üng, u naw pi hawia khyüh a law am ksing. Ani ta a ngtüinak law pi khyang naküt naw mi ksing,” ami ti u.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know where I am from: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Acunakyase, Jesuh naw Temple k'uma a jah mthei üng ngpyang lü, “Kei hawia ka, kei u ti nami na ksing kcangkie aw? Kamäta ngjak hlüa ka lawki am ni. Na tüi lawki cun ngthungtak ni, ani am ksing uki.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
“Kei naw ani ka ksingki. Isenitiüng, kei cun ani üngka naw ka lawki, ani naw a na tüih law ni,” a ti.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Acunüng Jesuh man vaia ami bü kyaw, akcün am pha hamkia kyase, u naw pi am hnet u.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
Khyang avang naw ta jum u lü, “Mesijah a law üng, ania pawhmsaha kthaka daw bawki, müncanksee jah pawhmsah law khai aw” ti u lü amimät ngthäkie.
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
Acukba, khyange cun Jesuha mawng sumkyemkie ti Pharisee naw ami ngjak üng, ktaiyü ngvaie am ngthäh u lü, man khaiea yekape ami jah tüih.
33 Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
Jesuh naw, “Asängca nami hlawnga ka ve käna, na tüi lawkia veia ka cit be khai.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there ye cannot come.
“Nangmi naw na sui u lü pi, am na hmu uki; ka venaka pi am law thei uki,” a ti.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Judah ngvaie amimät sumkyam u lü, “Am mi hmu ti vaia, hin hawia cit hlüki ni? Akce kcea ve hükie Krikea veia cit lü, Krike jah mthei hü hlüki aw’
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there ye cannot come?
‘Nangmi naw na sui u lü, am nami na hmu khai; ka venaka pi am law thei uki’ a ti hin, i a ti hlünak ni,” ami ti.
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, let him come to me, and drink.
Pawia akpäihnak ja akkü säihkia mhnüp üng, Jesuh ngdüiki naw, ngpyang lü, “Au pi, tui xaiki ka veia law lü aw law se.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.
“Au pi, kei na jumki cun Pamhnama cangcim üng a vea mäiha xünnak Tui Lawng cun ani üngkhyüh lawng law khai,” a ti.
39 ( But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Jumeikie naw Ngmüimkhya ami yahnak vaia mawng a pyenaka kyaki. Jesuh cun hlüngtainak üng am tho be hamkia kyase, Ngmüimkhya cun jah peta am kya ham.
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet.
Khyang avang naw a pyen ngja u lü, “Hin hin Sahma kcanga kya ve,” ami ti.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
Avang naw, “Ani hin Mesijah ni,” ami ti. Avange naw pi, “Kalile khaw üngka naw Mesijah hmi law thei khai aw?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
Mesijah cun Sangpuxang Davita ksawn üngka, Davita venaka mlüh Bethlehem üng hmi law khai ti lü cangcim üng veki” ami ti.
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
Acukba Jesuha phäha khyange ngtaikie.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
Avange naw ta man vai ami jum, acunsepi u naw pi am hnet dat u.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
Yekape ami ceh be üng, ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharisee naw “Ise am nami lawpüi ni?” ti u se,
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
yekape naw, “Ania mäiha u naw ngthu am pyen khawi” ti lü ami jah msang be.
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
Pharisee naw, “Nangmi pi a ning jah nghmawngmhlei hnga aw?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
“Ngvaie ja Pharisee üngka ani jumki nami ksing khawiki aw?
49 But this people who know not the law are cursed.
“Mosia Thum am ksingkia khyange ta yüncenak khamei ve u,” ti lü, ami pyen.
50 Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
Ahlana mthana Jesuha veia lawkia Pharise üngka khyang mat Nikawdim naw,
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it heareth him, and knoweth what he doeth?
“Amäta mpyawng ye üng a ngthu am ngja kaa, a pawhmsah am hmu kaa, mi Thum üng khyang am mi cijang khawi,” a ti.
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
Amimi naw, “Nang pi Kalile khyanga na kya hngaki aw? Cangcim üng tenga, Kalile khaw üng sahma, u am hmi law khawi,” ti lü na hmu khai.
53 And every man went to his own house.
