1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1To pacoengah Jesu loe Kalili prae ah caeh: Judahnawk mah anih hum han pakrong o pongah, Judah prae thungah amkaeh han koeh ai.
2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2Judahnawk ih Kahni im poih sakhaih atue loe zoi boeh.
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3To naah anih ih nawkamyanawk mah anih khaeah, Hae ahmuen hoiah tacawt ah loe, Judah prae ah caeh ah, to naah ni na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to na hnukbang kaminawk mah hnu o tih.
4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
4Ahmin amthang han koeh kami loe tamquta hoiah hmuen to sah vai ai. Hae hmuennawk hae na sak pongah, nangmah hoi nangmah to long kaminawk khaeah amtuengsak ah, tiah a naa o.
5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
5Angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah mataeng doeh Jesu to tang o ai vop.
6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
6Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kai ih atue pha ai vop: toe nangcae ih atue loe phak boeh.
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7Long mah nangcae hnuma thai mak ai; a sak o ih kasae hmuennawk to ka thuih pongah, Kai ni ang hnukma o.
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8Nangcae loe to poihkung ah caeh oh: kai ih atue pha ai vop pongah, to poihkung ah ka caeh mak ai vop, tiah a naa.
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9Nihcae khaeah hae lok a thuih pae pacoengah, anih loe Kalili ah oh vop.
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
10Toe angmah ih nawkamyanawk poihkung ah caeh o pacoengah loe, anih doeh poihkung ah caeh toeng, toe minawk panoeksak ai, tamquta ah ni a caeh.
11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11Judahnawk mah poihkung ah anih to pakrong o, Anih loe naa ah maw oh? tiah dueng o.
12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
12Amkhueng kaminawk loe anih kawng to angaek o: thoemto kaminawk mah, Anih loe hoih, tiah thuih o: kalah kaminawk mah loe, Hoih ai, anih loe kaminawk to aling, tiah thuih o.
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13Toe Judahnawk zit o pongah, mi mah doeh anih kawng to kamtuengah thui o ai.
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14Poih a um phak naah, Jesu loe tempul ah dawh tahang moe, kaminawk to patuk.
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15Judahnawk loe dawnrai o, hae kami loe ca doeh amtuk ai to mah, kawbangmaw ca panoek halat? tiah thuih o.
16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kang patuk o ih lok loe Kai ih lok na ai, Kai patoehkung ih lok ni.
17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
17Anih koehhaih sak koeh kami mah loe, ka patuk ih lok hae Sithaw ih lok maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaimah kaa ah patuk ih lok, tito panoek thaihaih to tawn tih.
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
18Angmah koeh ah lokthui kami loe, a lensawkhaih hnuk han ih ni a thuih: toe Anih patoehkung lensawkhaih pakrong Kami loe, loktang ah oh, Anih loe alinghaih lok to thui ai.
19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19Mosi mah kaalok ang paek o na ai maw, tipongah maeto mah doeh na pazui o ai moe, tikhoe kai hum hanah nang pakrong o loe? tiah a naa.
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20Kaminawk mah, Nang loe taqawk na tawnh: mi mah maw nang hum han pakrong? tiah a naa o.
21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
21Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Hmuen maeto ka sak naah, dawn na rai o boih.
22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22To pongah Mosi mah tangzat hin aah hanah lok ang paek o (Mosi khae hoi angzo ai, ampanawk khae hoiah ni angzoh); Sabbath niah nawkta tangzat hin na aah o.
23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
23Sabbath niah nawkta tangzat hin na aah o naah, Mosi ih kaalok aek kami ah na om o ai to mah, tikhoe Sabbath niah nganna kaminawk ngan ka tuisak naah, ka nuiah palung na phui o loe?
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24Anui phawn khet hoiah lokcaek o hmah, toenghaih hoiah lokcaek oh, tiah a naa.
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25To naah Jerusalem ih thoemto kaminawk mah, Nihcae mah hum han pakrong o ih kami loe Anih hae na ai maw?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26Khenah, Anih loe misahoihaih hoiah lok a thuih, nihcae mah Anih to kawbang doeh naa o ai. Hae Kami loe Kri tangtang boeh ni, tiah ukkungnawk mah panoek o maw?
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
27Kri angzoh naah, Anih loe naa hoiah maw angzoh, tito mi mah doeh panoek mak ai, toe hae kami loe naa ih kami maw, tito ka panoek o, tiah thuih o.
28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
28Jesu mah tempul thungah patuk naah, Nangcae mah Kai nang panoek o: toe Kai loe kaimah koeh ah kang zo ai, Kai patoehkung loe loktang ah oh, Anih to na panoek o ai.
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
29Anih mah Ang patoeh moe, Anih khae hoi Kang zoh pongah, Anih to Ka panoek, tiah tha hoi a hangh.
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30To pongah nihcae mah Jesu naehhaih loklam to pakrong o: toe Anih ih atue pha ai vop pongah, Anih to mi mah doeh naeh o ai.
31But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
31Paroeai kaminawk mah Anih to tang o moe, Kri angzoh naah loe, hae Kami mah sak ih pong pop kue ah anih mah dawnrai hmuennawk to sah tih maw? tiah thuih o.
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32Jesu kawng angaek kaminawk ih lok Farasinawk mah thaih o naah, Farasinawk hoi kalen koek qaima mah Anih to naeh hanah, tempul thungah toksah kaminawk to patoeh.
33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae khaeah atue setta thung ni ka oh han boeh, to pacoengah loe Kai patoehkung khaeah Ka caeh han boeh.
34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
34Kai nang pakrong o tih, toe nang hnu o mak ai: nangcae loe ka ohhaih ahmuen ah nang zo o thai mak ai, tiah thuih pae.
35The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
35To naah Judahnawk mah, Aicae mah anih hnuk han ai ah, naa ah maw caeh han thuih? Maeto hoi maeto ampraek Gentelnawk khaeah caeh moe, Gentelnawk patuk han ih maw a thuih?
36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’ ?”
36Kai nang pakrong o tih, toe nang hnu o mak ai: nangcae loe ka ohhaih ahmuen ah nang zo o thai mak ai, tiah thuih ih lok loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw vai? tiah thuih o.
37Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
37Kalen poihsakhaih hnukkhuem koek niah, Jesu angdoet moe, Mi kawbaktih doeh tui anghae kami loe, Kai khaeah angzo nasoe loe, nae nasoe.
38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
38Mi kawbaktih doeh Kai tang kami loe, Cabu mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih ih takoh thung hoiah hinghaih tuipui to long tih, tiah tha hoi hang moe, lok a thuih.
39But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
39(Toe to lok loe, Anih tang kaminawk mah hnuk han ih Muithla, thuih koehhaih ih ni: Jesu loe lensawkhaih hoi pakoeh ah om ai vop pongah, Kacai Muithla to paek ai vop).
40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
40Paroeai kaminawk mah a lok to thaih o naah, Hae kami loe Tahmaa tangtang boeh ni, tiah thuih o.
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41Kalah kaminawk mah loe, Hae kami loe Kri ni, tiah thuih o. Toe thoemto kaminawk mah loe, Kalili hoiah Kri angzo tih maw?
42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42Cabu mah, Kri loe David ih atii hoiah angzo tih, David ohhaih Bethlehem vangpui hoiah ni angzo tih, tiah thuih ih lok oh na ai maw? tiah thuih o.
43So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
43Anih pongah kaminawk ampraek o.
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
44Thoemto kaminawk mah anih to naeh han koeh o; toe mi mah doeh anih to naeh o ai.
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
45Tempul ah toksah kaminawk loe Farasinawk hoi kalen koek qaima khaeah amlaem o let, to naah nihcae mah tikhoe Jesu nang zo o haih ai loe? tiah naa o.
46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
46Tempul ah toksah kaminawk mah, Hae kami baktiah lokthui kami mi doeh om vai ai vop, tiah pathim pae o.
47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
47Farasinawk mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae doeh ang ling o boeh maw?
48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
48Ukkungnawk, to tih ai boeh loe Farasinawk thungah Anih mah thuih ih lok tang kami oh o maw?
49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
49Kaalok panoek ai haeah amkhueng kaminawk loe tangoenghaih tongh o boeh, tiah a naa o.
50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
50(Nihcae ih kami maeto ah kaom, khoving naah Jesu khaeah kacaeh), Nikodemu mah nihcae khaeah,
51“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
51aicae ih daan pongah kami maeto mah sak ih hmuen to panoek ai, a thuih ih lok doeh thaih ai ah lokcaek thai maw? tiah a naa.
52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
52To naah nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nang doeh Kalili ih kami ah maw na oh? Pakrongah loe khenah: Kalili hoiah tahmaa tacawt vai ai vop, tiah a naa o.
53Everyone went to his own house,
53To kaminawk loe angmacae im ah caeh o boih.
