Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
1Tedae Jesuh tah olive tlang la cet.
2Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
2Mincang ah bawkim la koep ha pawk hatah pilnam pum loh a taengla a paan uh. Te dongah ngol tih amih te a thuituen.
3The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
3Te vaengah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh huta pakhat te a samphaihnah neh a tuuk uh tih a khuen uh.
4and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
4Anih te a laklung ah a pai sak uh phoeiah, Jesuh te, “Saya, hekah huta he a samphaih li vaengah ka tuuk uh.
5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
5Tedae olkhueng dongah tah hebang he dae hamla Moses loh mamih n'uen coeng. Te koinih nang tah metlae na ti eh?” a ti na uh.
6They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
6Tedae he nen he amah paelnaeh ham a khueh uh dongah a noemcai uh tih a voek uh. Te dongah Jesuh loh buluk thuk tih kutdawn neh lai ah a daek.
7When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
7Tedae amah te koepkoep a dawt uh vaengah pai tih amih te, “ Nangmih khuikah aka tholh mueh loh anih te lamhma la lungto neh dae saeh,” a ti nah.
8And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
8Te phoeiah koep buluk tih lai ah a daek.
9When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
9A yaak uh vaengah patong lamkah a tong tih pakhat pakhat ah boeih cet uh. Te dongah Jesuh neh a laklung kah aka om huta bueng la cul.
10Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
10Te vaengah Jesuh te pai tih, “ Huta, melam a om uh? nang m'boe sak moenih nama? ” a ti nah.
11“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
11Te dongah te long te, “Boeipa, om pawh ue,” a ti nah. Jesuh loh, “ Kai khaw nang kan boe sak moenih. Cet lamtah tahae lamkah tholh voel boeh,” a ti nah.
12Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
12Te phoeiah Jesuh te amih taengah koep cal tih, “ Kai tah Diklai kah vangnah ni. Kai aka vai rhoek tah a hmuep ah pongpa voel pawt vetih hingnah hmaivang te a khueh ni,” a ti nah.
13So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
13Te dongah amah te Pharisee rhoek loh, “Nang loh namah kawng ni na phong, na olphong te oltak om pawh,” a ti na uh.
14Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
14Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “ Kai loh kamah kawng ka phong cakhaw kai kah olphong te oltak la om. Me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw ka ming. Tedae nangmih loh me lamkah ka lo tih mela ka caeh khaw na ming uh pawh .
15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
15Nangmih loh pumsa neh lai na tloek uh. Kai tah ukhaw lai ka tloek moenih .
16But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
16Tedae lai ka tloek van coeng atah kamah bueng ka om pawt tih kai aka tueih a pa neh kai ka om rhoi dongah kai kah laitloeknah tah a thuem la om pataeng .
17Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
17Olkhueng dongah khaw nangmih ah hlang panit kah olphong te thuem tila a daek coeng .
18I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
18Kai loh kamah kawng aka phong la ka om dae kai aka tueih a pa loh kai kawng a phong,” a ti nah.
19“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”
19Te dongah amah te, “Na pa te melam a om?” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh, “ Kai nan ming uh pawt tih a pa khaw na ming uh pawh. Kai nan ming uh koinih a pa te khaw na ming uh ni,” a ti nah.
20He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
20Bawkim ah a thuituen vaengah hekah ol he tangkabu kaepah a thui dae amah kah a tue a pha hlan dongah anih te tuu uh pawh.
21Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
21Te dongah amih te, “ Ka caeh vaengah kai nan toem uh cakhaw namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni. Mela ka caeh khaw nan pha uh ham coeng pawh,” koep a ti nah.
22So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
22Te dongah Judah rhoek loh, “Amah ngawn uh la cai pawt nim? ' Mela ka caeh khaw na loh ham coeng pawh ,’ a ti he,” a ti uh.
23Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
23Te vaengah amih te, “ Nangmih tah a hmui lamkah ni. Kai tah a so lamkah ni. Nangmih tah he Diklai lamkah ni. Kai tah he Diklai lamkah ka om moenih .
24That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
24Te dongah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni tila nangmih taengah ka thui. Kai he amah ni tila na tangnah uh pawt atah namamih kah tholh ah na duek uh ni,” a ti nah.
25“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
25Te dongah amah te, “Nang ulae,” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh amih taengah, “ Pakhat khaw a tongcuek ah nangmih ham kan thui van te ta?
26“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
26Nangmih kawng te thui ham neh laitloek ham muep om. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak la om. Kai khaw anih taengkah ka yaak te ni Diklai ah ka thui,” a ti nah.
27They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
27Amih taengah Pa kah a thui tila ming uh pawh.
28So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
28Te dongah Jesuh loh amih taengah, “ Hlang capa te na pomsang uh daengah ni kai ni ti khaw, kamah lamkah ka saii pawt tih a pa loh kai n'thuituen vanbangla ka thui he khaw na ming uh eh .
29He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
29Te dongah kai aka tueih te kai taengah om tih anih kolo te ka saii taitu dongah kamah bueng n'hlahpham moenih,” a ti nah.
30As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
30Hekah a thui vanbangla amah te muep a tangnah uh.
31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
31Te dongah Jesuh loh amah aka tangnah Judah rhoek taengah, “Kai kah olka ah na naeh atah kai kah hnukbang taktak la na om uh.
32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
32Oltak te na ming uh van daengah ni oltak loh nangmih n'loeih sak eh,” a ti nah.
33“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
33Te dongah Jesuh amah te, “Kaimih tah Abraham kah tiingan la ka om uh tih sal ka bi uh noek moenih. Metlam lae nang loh, ' Aka loeih la na om uh ni ' na ti?” a ti na uh.
34Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
34Jesuh loh amih te, “ Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, tholh aka saii boeih tah tholh kah sal la om .
35A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
35Sal tah im ah kumhal duela a naeh moenih, capa tah kumhal duela naeh ta .
36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
36Te dongah capa loh nangmih n'loeih sak atah aka loeih la rhep na om uh ni .
37I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
37Abraham kah tiingan la na om uh tila ka ming. Tedae kai kah olka he nangmih ah a om pawt dongah kai ngawn hamla nan mae uh .
38I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
38Kai loh Pa taengkah ka hmuh te ka thui dae nangmih tah na pa taengkah na yaak uh te na saii uh,” a ti nah.
39“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
39Te dongah Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Kaimih napa tah Abraham ni,” a ti uh. Jesuh loh amih te, “ Abraham kah ca la na om uh koinih Abraham kah khoboe te na saii uh ni.
40But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
40Tedae kai Pathen taeng lamkah oltak ka yaak tih nangmih taengah aka thui hlang te ngawn ham na mae uh coeng. Abraham loh he tlam he a saii moenih.
41You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
41Nangmih loh na pa bisai te na saii uh ,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te , “Kaimih he Cukhalnah kah a sak moenih. A pa pakhat Pathen ka khueh uh ,” a ti uh.
42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
42Jesuh loh amih te, “ Pathen te na pa la om koinih kai loh Pathen taeng lamkah ka lo tih ka pawk coeng dongah kai nan lungnah uh ham om. Kai kamah lamloh ka pawk pawt tih anih long ni kai n'tueih .
43Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
43Ba dongah kai kah olcal te na ming uh pawh. Kai kah olka te hnatun ham na coeng uh pawt dongah ni .
44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
44Na pa lamkah rhaithae la na om uh rhoe tih na pa kah hoehhamnah te saii ham na ngaih uh. Anih te a cuekca lamkah hlang aka ngawn ni. A khuiah oltak a om pawt dongah oltak ah pai pawh. Laithae neh laithae napa la om tih a cal vaengah a laithae te a phoe .
45But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
45Tedae kai loh oltak ka thui dongah kai nan tangnah uh pawh .
46Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
46Nangmih ah unim kai kah tholh aka toeltham? Oltak ka thui atah balae tih kai nan tangnah uh pawh ?
47Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
47Pathen taeng lamkah aka om loh Pathen kah olka te a hnatun. Te dongah na hnatun uh pawt khaw Pathen kah hut la na om uh pawt dongah ni,” a ti nah.
48The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
48Judah rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Nang he Samaria hlang ni, rhaithae na kaem tila ka thui uh te a thuem moenih a?” a ti na uh.
49“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
49Jesuh loh, “Rhaithae ka kaem moenih, a pa te ni ka hinyah dae nangmih loh kai yah nan bai uh.
50I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
50Kai loh kamah thangpomnah ka mae moenih. Tedae aka toem tih lai aka tloek te om ngawn .
51Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.”
51Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui. Khat khat loh kai ol a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah hmu loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
52“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death.
52Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Rhaithae na kaem te hnap ka ming uh. Abraham neh tonghma rhoek te duek coeng dae nang mai loh, ' Khat khat loh kai ol te a kuem atah kumhal duela dueknah ten voel mahpawh , ' na ti.
53Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
53A pa Abraham lakah tanglue la na om pawt nim? Anih khaw duek coeng, tonghma rhoek khaw duek uh coeng. Namah te u lam nim na ngai uh?” a ti na uh.
54Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say ‘He is our God.’
54Jesuh loh, “ Kai loh kamah ka thangpom koinih kai kah thangpomnah te a honghi la om ni. Kai aka thangpom tah a pa ni. Amah te nangmih loh , ‘ Mamih kah Pathen ni ,’ na ti uh .
55You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
55Amah te na ming uh pawt cakhaw kai tah amah te ka ming. Amah ka ming pawt te ka thui koinih nangmih phek la laithae la ka om ni. Tedae amah te ka ming tih a ol te ka kuem coeng .
56Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
56Na pa Abraham loh kai kah khohnin a hmuh ham te a kohoe tih a hmuh vaengah omngaih,” a ti nah.
57Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
57Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amah te, “Kum sawmnga na lo hlan dae Abraham na hmuh pawn a?” a ti na uh.
58“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
58Jesuh loh amih te, “ Nangmih taengah rhep rhep ka thui, Abraham a om hlanah ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
59At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
59Te vaengah amah te dae ham lungto a rhuh uh. Tedae Jesuh loh a thuh tak tih bawkim lamkah vik cet.
