1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1Te phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik pongpa. Amah te Judah rhoek loh ngawn ham a mae uh dongah Judea ah caeh ham ngaih pawh.
2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2Tedae Judah rhoek kah dungtlung khotue om tom coeng.
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3Te dongah a mana rhoek loh amah te, “He lamloh thoeih lamtah Judea la cet laeh, te daengah ni nang kah na saii bibi te na hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh van eh.
4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
4A huep la a saii vaengah amah te sayalhnah neh om ham aka tlap pakhat khaw a om moenih. He rhoek na saii mai vetih Diklai ah na phoe mai mako,” a ti na uh.
5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
5A manuca rhoek long khaw amah te a tangnah uh moenih.
6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
6Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “ Kai kah a tue tah ha pai hlan, dae nangmih kah a tue tah sikim la vawp vawp om .
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7Diklai loh nangmih m'hmuhuet thai mahpawh, tedae kai tah a khoboe thae a khueh kawng te ka phong dongah m'hmuhuet .
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8Nangmih tah khotue la cet uh. Kai tah hekah khotue la ka cet mahpawh, kai kah a tue tah soep hlan,” a ti nah.
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9He rhoek he a thui phoeiah Jesuh tah Galilee ah vik naeh.
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
10Tedae A mana rhoek tah khotue la a caeh uh phoeiah tah amah khaw koep cet. Tedae a huep la duem om tih loloh moe pawh.
11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11Khotue vaengah Judah rhoek loh Jesuh te a toem uh tih, “Anih te melam a om?” a ti uh.
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.”
12Te dongah anih kawngte hlangping kohuetnah la muep om uh. A ngen loh, “Hlang then ni,” a ti uh. A tloe rhoek loh, “Pawh, hlangping te a rhaithi coeng,” a ti uh.
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13Tedae Judah rhoek a rhihnah dongah a kawng te sayalh la thui pawh.
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14Tedae khotue bangli vaengah Jesuh te bawkim la cet tih a thuituen.
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15Te dongah Judah rhoek tah a ngaihmang uh tih, “He long he a cang muehla metlam ca a ming?” a ti uh.
16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “ Kai kah thuituennah tah kamah kah pawt tih kai aka tueih kah 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.
17Khat khat loh a kongaih te saii ham a ngaih atah thuituennah he Pathen lamkah a? Kai kamah lamkah a ka thui? tite a ming ni .
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.
18Amah lamkah aka thui loh amah thangpomnah te a toem. Tedae anih aka tueih kah thangpomnah aka toem long tah, a thuem la a om dongah anih ah boethae om pawh .
19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19Moses loh nangmih te olkhueng m'paek moenih a? Tedae nangmih olkhueng aka vai pawt loh balae tih kai ngawn ham nan mae uh? ” a ti nah.
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20Hlangping long khaw, “Rhaithae na kaem, nang ngawn ham aka mae te unim,” a ti nah.
21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
21Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “ Bibi pakhat ka saii hatah boeih na ngaihmang uh .
22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22Moses loh nangmih te yahvinrhetnah ham m ' paek. Te te Moses kah moenih a pa rhoek kah ni. Te dongah Sabbath ah hlang kah yahvin na rhet uh .
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?
23Yahvinrhetnah he hlang loh Sabath ah a dang vaengah Moses kah olkhueng te a phae pawt atah Sabath ah hlang pum pakhat sading la ka khueh dongah nim kai taengah na thin a toek uh?
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24A hmanhu ah laitloek uh boeh. Tedae laitloeknah he a dueng la laitloek uh,” a ti nah.
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25Te dongah Jerusalem kah a ngen loh, “Ngawn ham a toem uh te anih pawt nim?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26sayalh la a thui dae amah tah a voek uh moenih ca he. Anih he Khrih ni tila boei rhoek loh rhep a ming uh nim?
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
27Te dongah anih he me lamkah ha thoeng khaw m'ming. Tedae Khrih halo vaengkah tah me lamkah a thoeng khaw, a mingpha moenih,” a ti uh.
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.
28Te dongah Jesuh loh bawkim khuiah a thuituen vaengah pang tih, “ Kai nan ming uh tih me lamkah ka thoeng khaw na ming uh. Kamah lamkah ka lo moenih. Tedae kai aka tueih tah oltak ni. Anih te na ming uh moenih .
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
29Kai loh amah te ka ming. Amah taengah ka om tih te long te kai n'tueih,” a ti nah.
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30Te dongah amah tuuk ham a mae uh dae a tue te a pai hlan dongah anih te kut hlah uh thil pawh.
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?”
31Tedae hlangping lamkah a yet loh amah te a tangnah tih, “Khrih ha lo vaengkah anih kah a saii lakah miknoek khaw muep saii mahpawt a?” a ti uh.
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32Anih kawng neh hlangping kah a kohuet te Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh. Te dongah anih tuuk ham tueihyoeih rhoek te khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh a tueih uh.
33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah a tue kolkalh ni ka om pueng vetih kai aka tueih taengla ka cet ni.
34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
34Kai nan toem uh vaengah kamah nan hmu uh mahpawh. Te vaengah ka om nah khaw nam pha uh thai mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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?
35Te dongah Judah rhoek loh amamih te, “He he mela caeh ham nim a cai tih mamih loh anih m'hmuh pawt eh? Greek kah canglak mupoe taengah cet la cai pawt nim? Greek rhoek te thuituen ham nim?
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 he nan toem uh cakhaw kai na hmu uh mahpawh. Te dongah ka om nah khaw na pha uh thai pawh ,’ a ti te mebang ol nim te,” a ti uh.
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!
37Khotue tung kah hnukkhueng khohnin ah Jesuh te pai tih a pang doela, “ Khat khat loh tui a hal atah kai taengah ha lo saeh lamtah o saeh .
38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
38Cacim loh a thui bangla, kai aka tangnah tah a bung khui lamkah tuiva te tui hing la long ni,” a ti.
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.
39Tedae amah aka tangnah rhoek loh a dang ham Mueihla kawng te a thui. Jesuh a thangpom hlan dongah Mueihla tah ana pae hlan.
40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
40Te dongah hekah olka he hlangping lamkah a yaak uh, “Anih tah tonghma tangtang ni,” a ti uh.
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41A ngen loh, “Anih he Khrih ni,” a ti uh. Tedae a ngen loh, “Galilee lamkah Khrih thoeng mahnim.
42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42Cacim loh, 'David tiingan lamkah neh David a om nah Bethlehem kho lamkah ni Khrih ha pawk eh?,’ a ti moenih a?” a ti uh.
43So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
43Tedae anih kongah hlangping te paekboenah om.
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
44Amih khuikah a ngen loh amah te tuuk ham a ngaih uh. Tedae anih soah kut hlah uh pawh.
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
45Te vaengah tueihyoeih rhoek te khosoihham neh Pharisee rhoek taengla ha pawk uh. Te rhoek loh amih taengah, “Balae tih anih te nan khuen uh pawh?” a ti nah uh.
46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
46Tueihyoeih rhoek loh, “Hlang bangla cal pawh,” a ti na uh.
47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
47Te dongah Pharisee rhoek loh amih te, “Nangmih khaw n'rhaithi uh pawn pawt nim?
48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
48Boei rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek khuikah khat khat loh anih te tangnah pawt nim?
49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
49Tedae hlangping loh olkhueng a ming pawt te rhunkhuen la poeh,” a ti uh.
50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
50Amih taengah om tih hnukbuet ah Jesuh taengla aka pawk Nikodemu loh amih taengah,
51“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
51“A saii te amah lamloh lamhma la a yaak tih a ming pawt atah hlang te mamih kah olkhueng loh laitloek thil pawt maco?” a ti nah.
52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
52Te dongah anih te a doo uh tih, “Nang khaw Galilee lamkah pawt nim? Galilee lamkah tonghma a thoeng noek pawt te khe lamtah ming saw,” a ti na uh.
53Everyone went to his own house,
53Te phoeiah amah im la rhip cet uh.
