1Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
1Jesuh tah yoom hlankah a hnin rhuk dongah, Bethany la pawk coeng. Te ah te Jesuh loh duek lamkah a thoh Lazarus te khaw om.
2So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
2Te dongah anih ham hlaembuh pahoi a thong uh tih Martha te tokthuet. Lazarus tah Jesuh taengah aka vael pakhat la om van.
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.
3Te vaengah Mary loh a phu aka tlo nardo botui pound khat han khuen tih Jesuh kho te a hluk phoeiah a sam neh a huih. Te dongah im te botui kah a bo neh khuk bae.
4But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
4Tedae a hnukbang pakhat, Jesuh yoih ham aka cai Judas Iskariot loh,
5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
5“Balae tih botui he denari yathum la a yoih vetih khodaeng rhoek a paek pawh?” a ti.
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.
6Tedae anih te khodaeng ham a ngaihuet dongah pawt tih hlanghuen la a om neh, tangkacun ah a sang uh tih aka om te a yueh dongah ni a thui.
7“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
7Te dongah Jesuh loh, “ Anih he hlah ngawn, te daengah ni kai kah rhokhlak khohnin ham khaw a khoem eh .
8The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
8Khodaeng te namamih taengah na khueh taitu dae kai tah nan khueh uh phueih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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 a om tapkhoeh te Judah rhoek khuikah hlangping te yet loh a ming uh. Jesuh bueng kongah pawt tih duek lamkah aka thoo Lazarus te khaw hmuh ham ha lo uh.
10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
10Tedae khosoihham rhoek loh Lazarus te khaw ngawn ham a moeh uh.
11for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
11Lazarus kongah Judah rhoek te muep a toeng uh tih Jesuh te a tangnah uh.
12The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
12A vuen atah khotue la aka lo hlangping a yet loh Jerusalem la Jesuh ha pawk tila a yaak uh.
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!”
13Rhophoe kah a hlaeng te a loh uh tih amah doenah la cet uh. Te vaengah, “Hosanna, Boeipa ming neh aka pawk Israel manghai tah a yoethen coeng,” tila pang uh.
14Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
14Jesuh loh muli-marhang ca te a hmuh tih a soah ngol.
15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
15“Zion canu birhih boeh, na manghai tah muli-marhang ca dongah ngol tih ha pawk coeng ke,” tila daek tangtae ana om rhoe pai.
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.
16Hekah he hnukbang rhoek loh a ming uh lamhma moenih. Tedae Jesuh a thangpom vaeng daengah ni anih ham ana om tih anih ham a saii uh tila a poek uh.
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.
17Te dongah Lazarus te hlan lamkah a khue tih duek lamkah anih a thoh vaengah Jesuh taengkah aka om hlangping loh ana phong uh coeng.
18That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
18Te dongah hlangping loh Jesuh a doe te khaw amah loh miknoek a saii te a yaak uh dongah ni.
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!”
19Te dongah Pharisee rhoek amamih te, “Khat khaw na phu uh pawt te so uh. Diklai loh anih hnuk a vai coeng ke,” a ti uh.
20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20Tedae khotue ah bawk ham aka cet rhoek khuiah hlangvang tah Greek rhoek khaw om uh.
21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21Te dongah Galilee peng Bethsaida lamkah rhoek loh Philip te a paan uh. Te phoeiah anih te a dawt uh tih, “Boeipa, Jesuh te hmuh ham ka ngaih uh,” a ti na uh.
22Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
22Philip te cet tih Andrew taengah a thui. Te phoeiah Andrew neh Philip te ha lo rhoi tih Jesuh taengah a thui rhoi.
23But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “ Hlang capa thangpom ham a tue loh ha pai coeng .
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.
24Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, cang ti te lai la tla tih a duek pawt atah amah bueng ni a cul. Tedae a duek atah cangvuei muep vuei .
25Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
25Amah kah hinglu aka lungnah tah poci vetih he Diklai ah amah kah hinglu aka hmuhuet loh dungyan hingnah ham te a ngaithuen ni .
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.
26Khat khat long ni kai n'bongyong atah kai m'vai vetih mela ka om akhaw kai kah tueihyoeih la pahoi om ni. Khat khat long ni kai n'bongyong atah anih te a pa loh a hinyah ni .
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.
27Tahae ah ka hinglu loh hinghuen tih metlae ka ti eh? A pa tahae tue lamkah kai n'khang lah. Tedae te ham kongah tahae tue te kam paan coeng .
28Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
28Pa, na ming te thangpom lah,” a ti. Te vaengah vaan lamkah ol ha lo tih, “Ka thangpom coeng tih koep ka thangpom ni,” a ti.
29The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
29Te vaengkah aka pai tih aka ya hlangping loh, “Rhaek tla,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Puencawn loh anih a voek,” a ti uh.
30In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
30Jesuh loh a doo tih, “ Hekah ol he kai ham pawt tih nangmih ham ni ha pawk .
31Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Hekah Diklai he laitloeknah om coeng. Hekah Diklai boei tah phawn a thaek pawn ni .
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
32Kai khaw diklai lamkah n'tai atah kamah taengla hlang boeih ka doek ni,” a ti nah.
33He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33Te vaengah a thui te a duek hamla a om dongah a dueknah ni a phoe coeng.
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?”
34Te phoeiah hlangping loh amah te, “Khrih tah kumhal duela naeh tila olkhueng lamkah loh ka yaak uh. Tedae balae tih ' Hlang capa te tai ham a kuek ' tila na thui? Tekah hlang capa te ulae?” a ti na uh.
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.
35Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “ Nangmih taengah vangnah a tue rhaih om pueng. Nangmih te a hmuep loh n'khuk pawt ham vangnah na khueh uh vaengah pongpa uh. A hmuep ah aka pongpa loh mela a caeh khaw ming pawh .
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.
36Vangnah na khueh uh vaengah vangnah te tangnah uh. Te daengah ni vangnah kah ca rhoek la na om uh eh,” a ti nah. Hekah he Jesuh loh a thui phoeiah amih taeng lamkah cet tih vik thuh uh.
37Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
37Amih hmaiah miknoek heyet a saii dae amah te tangnah uh pawh.
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?”
38Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah kah olka loh, “Boeipa, kaimih kah olthang te unim aka tangnah, Boeipa kah a ban tah u taengah nim a pumphoe eh?” a ti te a soep eh.
39For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
39Te nen te a tangnah uh thai moenih.
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.”
40Te dongah Isaiah loh, “A mik te a dael sak tih, a thin a thah sak. Te daengah ni a mik neh hmu uh pawt vetih, thinko neh a yakming vaengah ha mael uh vetih amih ka hoeih sak eh,” koep a ti.
41Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
41Isaiah loh a thangpomnah te a hmuh dongah hekah he a thui tih a kawng a thui.
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.
42Temai akhaw, boei rhoek khuiah long pataeng amah te muep a tangnah uh. Tedae Pharisee rhoek kongah phoe uh pawh. Te daengah ni a hael la a om uh pawt eh.
43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
43Amih loh Pathen kah thangpomnah lakah hlang kah thangpomnah te a lungnah uh ngai dongah ni.
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
44Tedae Jesuh loh tamhoe tih, “ Kai aka tangnah loh kai n'tangnah pawt dae kai aka tueih te ni a tangnah .
45And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
45Kai aka hmuh long khaw kai aka tueih te a hmuh .
46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
46Kai tah Diklai ah vangnah la ka lo. Te daengah ni kai aka tangnah long tah a hmuep ah a naeh pawt eh .
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.
47Pakhat long khaw ka ol te a yaak lalah kuem pawt cakhaw kai loh anih lai ka tloek thil mahpawh. Diklai he laitloek thil ham pawt tih Diklai khang ham ni ka pawk .
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 aka hnawt tih ka ol aka doe pawt loh laitloek kung te a khueh. Anih te ka thui ol loh a hnukkhueng khohnin ah lai a tloek bitni .
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 loh kamah lamkah ka thui moenih. Tedae ka cal ham neh ka thui ham te kai aka tueih a Pa amah loh kai taengah olpaek la m ' paek coeng .
50And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”
50A olpaek tah dungyan hingnah ni tila ka ming. Te dongah kai loh ka thui te a pa loh kai taengah a thui bangla ka thui van,” a ti.
