1Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
1Misong loihhaih poih phak tomhaih ni tarukto naah, Jesu loe kadueh Lazaru pathawkhaih Bethani avang to phak.
2So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
2To avang ah nihcae mah anih han duembuh caakhaih sak pae o; Martha mah caaknaek to thongh pae: toe Lazaru loe caboi nuiah Anih hoi nawnto anghnut.
3Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
3To naah Meri mah, atho kana parai hmuihoih tui tabu maeto lak moe, Jesu ih khok to bawh pae pacoengah, a sam hoiah huk pae: to naah imthung ah hmuihoih tui to koi.
4But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
4To pacoengah a hnukbang kaminawk thung ih maeto, Anih angphat taak han kaom Simon capa, Juda Iskariot mah,
5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
5tikhoe kamtang kaminawk na paek hanah hae hmuihoih tui hae phoisa cumvai thumto hoiah na zaw ai loe? tiah a naa.
6Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
6Kamtang kaminawk abomh han koeh pongah anih mah hae lok hae thuih ih na ai ni; anih loe kamqu ah oh, phoisa pakuemkung ah oh moe, phoisa to angmah han patoh kami ah oh pongah ni to tiah lok a thuih.
7“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
7Jesu mah nongpata loe angmah hmawk ah om nasoe: Kai aphumhaih ni han ih ni hae hmuihoih tui hae a suek.
8The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
8Kamtang kaminawk loe nangcae hoi nawnto oh o poe; toe Kai loe nangcae hoi nawnto ka om poe mak ai, tiah a naa.
9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
9Anih toah oh, tiah Judahnawk mah panoek o naah, Jesu hnuk han ih khue ai ah, duekhaih thung hoi anih mah pathawk ih Lazaru doeh hnuk han koeh o pongah, paroeai kaminawk angzoh o.
10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
10Kalen koek qaima mah Lazaru doeh hum hanah pacaeng;
11for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
11Lazaru kawng pongah paroeai Judah kaminawk mah qaima to caeh o taak moe, Jesu tanghaih to tawnh o.
12The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
12Khawnbang phak naah loe, poihkung ah angzo paroeai kaminawk mah, Jesu Jerusalem ah angzoh, tiah thaih o.
13They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
13Bawksawk qam hoi kanghmong thing tanghang to sin o moe, anih dawt hanah caeh o, Hosanna: Angraeng hmin hoi angzo Israel Siangpahrang loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah hang o.
14Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
14Jesu mah laa hrang to hnuk naah, a nuiah angthueng;
15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
15Zion canu, zii hmah: khenah, na Siangpahrang loe laa hrang nuiah angthueng moe, angzoh, tiah tarik ih oh.
16At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
16Tangsuek naah loe a hnukbang kaminawk mah hae hmuennawk hae thaih o kop ai: toe Jesu to pakoeh ah oh naah, hae hmuennawk loe Anih kawng ni tarik o, hae hmuennawk loe Anih han ih ni sak pae o, tito nihcae mah panoek o.
17Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
17Anih mah Lazaru to taprong thung hoiah kawk moe, duekhaih thung hoiah pathawk let naah kaom paroeai kaminawk loe, Anih hnukung ah oh o.
18That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
18Anih mah dawnrai hmuen sak, tito nihcae mah thaih o naah, anih hnuk hanah caeh o.
19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
19To pongah Farasinawk mah kawbang doeh na sah o thai ai boeh, khen oh, long loe Anih hnukah ni caeh boeh, tiah a thuih o.
20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20Poih tue ah Sithaw bok han angzo kaminawk thungah Griknawk doeh athum o toeng:
21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21to kaminawk loe Kalili prae Bethsaida avang ah om kami, Philip khaeah angzoh o moe, Patukkung, Jesu hnuk han ka koeh o, tiah tahmenhaih hnik o.
22Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
22Philip loe caeh moe, Andru khaeah thuih pae: to pacoengah Andru hoi Philip Jesu khaeah caeh hoi moe, thuih pae hoi let.
23But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kami Capa pakoehhaih atue loe phak boeh.
24Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24Loktang to, loktang ah, kang thuih o, Cangti loe long ah krak moe, dueh ai nahaeloe, angmah toengroeng ah ni oh: toe a duek naah loe, athaih paroeai athaih.
25Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
25Mi kawbaktih doeh a hinghaih palung kami loe, anghmaa tih; hae long nuiah a hinghaih hnuma kami loe dungzan hinghaih to toep tih.
26If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
26Mi kawbaktih doeh Ka tok sah kami loe, Ka hnukah bang nasoe; Ka ohhaih ahmuen ah, Ka tamna doeh om toeng tih: Ka tok sah kami loe Kam Pa mah pakoeh tih.
27Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
27Vaihi ka poekhaih angpho; timaw ka thuih han? Pa, hae atue thung hoiah na pahlong ah: toe hae tiah oh han ih ni, hae atue ah kang zoh.
28Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
28Pa, na hmin to pakoeh ah, tiah a naa. To naah van hoiah, Ka pakoeh hmaek boeh, Ka pakoeh let han vop, tiah lok to angzoh.
29The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
29To ahmuen ah angdoe kaminawk mah, To lok to thaih o naah, Khopazih, tiah thuih o: kalah kaminawk mah loe, Van kami mah lok a thuih pae, tiah thuih o.
30In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
30Jesu mah hae lok loe kai han angzo ai, nangcae hanah ni angzoh.
31Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Hae long loe vaihi lokcaek ah oh boeh: hae long angraeng haekhaih to om tih.
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
32Kai long ranui ah atoengh tahang naah, kaminawk boih kaimah khaeah ka zaeh han, tiah a naa.
33He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33Hae lok loe, anih kawbangmaw due tih, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni.
34The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
34To naah paroeai kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Kri loe dungzan ah caak poe tih, tiah kaalok mah thuih ih lok to ka thaih o: nangmah loe kawbangmaw, Kami Capa to ranui ah bang o tih, tiah na thuih, hae Kami Capa loe mi maw? tiah pathim pae o.
35Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
35To naah Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Aanghaih loe nawnetta thungah ni nangcae hoi nawn to oh. Aanghaih na tawnh o naah caeh oh, to tih ai nahaeloe nangcae nuiah vinghaih pha moeng tih: khoving thung caeh kami loe naa ah maw a caeh, tito panoek ai.
36While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
36Aanghaih caa ah na oh o thai hanah, aanghaih na tawnh o naah, aanghaih to tang oh, tiah a naa. Hae loknawk a thuih pacoengah, Jesu mah nihcae to yae moe, caehtaak ving.
37Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
37Anih mah nihcae hma ah paroeai dawnrai hmuen sak pae cadoeh, nihcae mah anih to tang o ai.
38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38Angraeng, ka thuih o ih lok tang kami oh o maw? Angraeng ih ban loe mi khaeah maw amtueng? tiah tahmaa Isaiah mah thuih ih lok akoep han ih ni oh.
39For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
39To pongah nihcae mah tang o thai ai, Isaiah mah,
40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
40Anih mah nihcae mikmaengsak moe, nihcae ih palung amtaksak; to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae mah mik hoiah hnu o moeng tih, palung hoiah panoek o ueloe, amnlaem o tih, to naah kai mah nihcae to ngan ka tuisak moeng tih, tiah thuih let.
41Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
41Isaiah mah, Anih lensawkhaih hnuk naah, Anih kawng to hae tiah thuih.
42Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
42To tiah om cadoeh, paroeai ukkung ah kaom kaminawk mah anih to tang o; toe Farasinawk mah sineko thung hoiah haek moeng tih, tiah a poek o pongah, Anih kawng to nihcae mah taphong o ai.
43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
43Nihcae loe Sithaw mah pakoeh pongah kami mah pakoehhaih to koeh o kue.
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
44To naah Jesu mah, Kai tang kami loe Kai to tang ai, Kai patoehkung tang kami ah ni oh.
45And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
45Kai khen kami loe Kai patoehkung to a hnuk.
46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
46Kai tang kaminawk, khoving thungah oh o han ai ah, Kai loe long ah kangzo aanghaih ah ka oh.
47As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
47Mi kawbaktih doeh ka lok to thaih moe, tang ai nahaeloe anih to lok ka caek mak ai: Kai loe long lokcaek hanah kang zo ai, long pahlong hanah ni kang zoh.
48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
48Kai talawk ai moe, ka lok tahngai ai kami lokcaekkung maeto oh: Ka thuih ih lok mah anih to hnukkhuem niah lokcaek tih.
49I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
49Kai loe kaimah koehah lok ka thui ai; toe ka thuih moe, ka patuk han ih lok loe kai patoehkung Pa mah ni ang paek.
50And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”
50Anih mah paek ih lok loe dungzan hinghaih lok ah oh, tito ka panoek: to pongah Pa mah ang thuihsak ih baktih toengah ni lok ka thuih, tiah a naa.
