John 5
1 After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
He phoeiah Judah rhoek kah khotue om tih Jesuh tah Jerusalem la cet.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, called in Hebrew 'Bethesda.' It has five arcades.
Te vaengah Jerusalem kah tuthohka ah Bethesda tila Hebrew loh a khue tuibuem pakhat om tih impup panga om.
3 In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons, and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.
Te rhoek ah te aka yuii, aka khaem rhoek, mikdael rhoek neh aka tlotat rhoek loh rhaengpuei la yalh uh.
Saivai ah puencawn ha pawk atah tuibuem a hinghuen sak. Tuibuem a hinghuen vaengah aka cungpung lamhma tah hoeih.
5 And there was one man there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
Te vaengah kum sawmthum kum rhet khuiah a tloh aka kaem hlang pakhat te tapkhoeh om.
6 Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"
Jesuh loh aka yalh sut te a hmuh vaengah kum muep di coeng tila a ming. Te dongah anih te, “Sading la om na ngaih a?” a ti nah.
7 "Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming some one else steps down before me."
Aka tlo loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, tui a hinghuen vaengah tuibuem khuila kai aka tulh ham te hlang ka khueh moenih, ka caeh pangthuem khaw a tloe loh kai hmaiah cungpung coeng,” a ti nah.
8 "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."
Jesuh loh anih te, “Thoo, na phakdoeng te kawt lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah.
9 Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.
Tekah hlang tah sading la pahoi a om dongah a phakdoeng te a koh tih pongpa. Tekah khohnin tah Sabbath la om.
10 That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."
Te dongah aka hoeih tangtae te Judah rhoek loh, “Sabbath a om vaengah nang tah na phakdoeng te n'koh sak moenih,” a ti nauh.
11 "He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'"
Te long khaw amih te a doo tih, “Kai sading la aka om sak loh kai taengah, ‘Namah kah phakdoeng te kawt lamtah cet laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
12 "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?"
Amah te, “Nang taengah, 'Kawt lamtah cet, ' aka ti te u hlang nim?” a ti nauh.
13 But the man who had been cured did not know who it was; for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd in the place.
Tedae aka hoeih loh Jesuh te unim ti khaw a ming moenih. Tekah hmuen ah hlangping a om vaengah ni Jesuh tah pawlh a bit uh coeng.
14 Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, "You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more, or a worse thing may befall you."
Te phoeiah Jesuh loh anih te bawkim khuiah a hmuh tih, “Sading la na om coeng he. Tholh voel boeh saw. Khat khat loh nang taengah a thae la ha pai mahpawt nim,” a ti nah.
15 The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored him to health;
Tekah hlang te cet tih amah sading la aka om sak te Jesuh ni tila Judah rhoek taengah puen.
16 and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.
Hekah he Sabbath ah a saii dongah Judah rhoek loh Jesuh te a hnaemtaek uh.
17 His reply to their accusation was, "My Father works unceasingly, and so do I."
Tedae Jesuh loh amih te, “A pa loh tahae duela a saii dongah kai khaw ka saii,” a ti nah.
18 On this account then the Jews were all the more eager to put Him to death--because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also spoke of God as being in a special sense His Father, thus putting Himself on a level with God.
Te vaengah Sabbath te a phae bueng kolla Pathen khaw a pa a ti tih Pathen te amah neh vanat la a khueh bal dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te ngawn ham taoe a mae uh.
19 "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that the Son can do nothing of Himself--He can only do what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does in like manner.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, pa loh a saii te a hmuh pawt atah capa loh amah lamkah a saii ham a coeng loeng loeng moenih. Te loh a saii te tah capa long khaw a saii van he.
20 For the Father loves the Son and reveals to Him all that He Himself is doing. And greater deeds than these will He reveal to Him, in order that you may wonder.
Pa loh capa te a lungnah dongah amah loh a saii te a taengah boeih a tueng. Te lakah bibi tanglue te a taengah a tueng bal ni. Te daengah ni na ngai a hmang uh eh.
21 For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
Pa loh aka duek rhoek te a thoh tih a hing sak bangla capa long khaw a ngaih te tah a hing sak van.
22 The Father indeed does not judge any one, but He has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
Pa loh pakhat khaw lai a tloek thil moenih. Tedae laitloeknah he capa taengah boeih a paek coeng.
23 that all may honour the Son even as they honour the Father. The man who withholds honour from the Son withholds honour from the Father who sent Him.
Te daengah ni pa a hinyah bangla capa te boeih a hinyah eh. Capa te aka hinyah pawt long tah anih aka tueih pa te hinyah pawh.
24 "In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life. (aiōnios g166)
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, kai ol a yaak tih ka tueih hlang te aka tangnah loh dungyan hingnah a khueh. Te dongah laitloeknah khuila kun pawh, dueknah lamloh hingnah khuila thoeih coeng. (aiōnios g166)
25 "In most solemn truth I tell you that a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.
Nangmih taengah rhep rhep kan thui, a tue ha pawk tih om coeng. Aka duek rhoek khaw Pathen capa kah ol te a hnatun tih aka ya rhoek tah hing uh ni.
26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has also given to the Son to have life in Himself.
Pa loh a khuiah hingnah a khueh bangla capa long te khaw a khuiah hingnah khueh ham a paek van.
27 And He has conferred on Him authority to act as Judge, because He is the Son of Man.
Hlang capa la a om dongah laitloeknah saii ham saithainah khaw amah taengah a paek.
28 Wonder not at this. For a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will come forth--
A tue ha pawk coeng dongah phuel khuikah rhoek boeih loh a ol te a khuiah a yaak uh vetih ha moe uh ni.
29 they who have done what is right to the resurrection of Life, and they whose actions have been evil to the resurrection of judgement.
He he ngaihmang sak uh boeh. A then aka saii rhoek tah hingnah dongkah thohkoepnah la, tedae a thae la kho aka boe rhoek tah laitloeknah kah thohkoepnah dongla pawk.
30 "I can of my own self do nothing. As I am bidden, so I judge; and mine is a just judgement, because it is not my own will that guides me, but the will of Him who sent me.
Kai tah kamah lamkah loh bakhaw saii ham ka coeng moenih. Ka yaak bangla lai ka tloek dongah kai kah laitloeknah khaw a dueng la om. Kamah kongaih te ka toem pawt tih kai aka tueih kung kah kongaih te ka toem.
31 "If I give testimony concerning myself, my testimony cannot be accepted.
Kai loh kamah kawng ka phong koinih kai kah olphong te oltak om pawh.
32 There is Another who gives testimony concerning me, and I know that the testimony is true which He offers concerning me.
Kai kawng aka phong te hlang tloe om. Te dongah kai kawng a phong te aka thuem olphong ni tila ka ming.
33 "You sent to John, and he both was and still is a witness to the truth.
Nangmih loh Johan taengla na tueih uh vaengah oltak te a phong.
34 But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.
Kai loh hlang taengkah olphong te ka doe moenih. Tedae nangmih khang ham he rhoek he ka thui.
35 He was the lamp that burned and shone, and for a time you were willing to be gladdened by his light.
Anih te tok tangtae hmaiim la om tih a vang hatah nangmih loh anih kah vangnah khuiah kohoe kolkalh ham na ngaih uh.
36 "But the testimony which I have is weightier than that of John; for the work the Father has assigned to me for me to bring it to completion--the very work which I am doing--affords testimony concerning me that the Father has sent me.
Tedae kai loh Johan lakah olphong tanglue ka khueh. Tekah bitat te coeng hamla pa loh kai taengah m'paek coeng. Tekah bibi ka saii dongah kai aka tueih a pa loh kai kawng te a phong.
37 And the Father who sent me, He has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.
Kai aka tueih a pa loh kai kawng te a phong. A ol te na ya uh noek pawt tih a mueimae khaw na hmu uh noek pawh.
38 Nor have you His word dwelling within you, for you refuse to believe Him whom He has sent.
A ol te na khuiah na khueh uh pawt tih a naeh pawt dongah amah loh a tueih te khaw na tangnah uh pawh.
39 "You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
A khuiah dungyan hingnah om ni tila na poek uh dongah cacim te na kheuh. Tedae te dongkah aka om rhoek loh kai kawng ni a phong uh. (aiōnios g166)
40 and yet you are unwilling to come to me that you may have Life.
Te phoeiah hingnah dang ham kai taengla na lo ngaih uh moenih.
41 "I do not accept glory from man,
Hlang lamkah thangpomnah te ka doe moenih.
42 but I know you well, and I know that in your hearts you do not really love God.
Tedae nangmih loh namamih khuiah Pathen kah lungnah na khueh uh pawt te ka ming.
43 I have come as my Father's representative, and you do not receive me. If some one else comes representing only himself, him you will receive.
A pa kah ming neh kai ka pawk dae kai nan doe uh moenih. Hlang tloe te amah ming neh amah ngaih la ha pawk koinih anih te na doe uh suidae.
44 How is it possible for you to believe, while you receive glory from one another and have no desire for the glory that comes from the only God?
Nangmih loh metlam na tangnah uh thai eh. Khat khat lamkah thangpomnah te na doe uh vaengah Pathen bueng lamkah thangpomnah te na toem uh moenih.
45 "Do not suppose that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, namely Moses, on whom your hope rests.
Pa taengah nangmih te kai loh m' paelnaeh ni tila poek uh boeh. Nangmih aka paelnaeh la Moses om, anih la na ngaiuep uh dae.
46 For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
Moses te na tangnah uh koinih kai nan tangnah uh ni. Anih long khaw kai kawng ni a daek.
47 But if you disbelieve his writings, how are you to believe my words?"
Tedae anih kah cabu te na tangnah uh pawt atah metlamlae kai olka he na tangnah uh eh?” a ti nah.
