¹Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.

¹Huan, mi khat, Mari leh a sanggam Martha omna khua Bethani mi, Lazar, damlouin om a.

²It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.

²Mari thau namtui Toupa nilha a sama a khe nulnu, huai sanggampa Lazar ahi, damlou tuh.

³The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

³Huan, a sanggamnuten Jesu kiang ah, Toupa, ngai dih, na it a china hi, chiin, mi a sawl ua.

⁴But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

⁴Huan, Jesun huai a jakin, Hiai natna sihna ding jen ahi kei, Pathian thupina ding ahi jaw. Pathian Tapa, hiai jiaka hihthupi a hih theihna dingin, a chi a.

⁵Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

⁵Huan, Jesun Martha te, a sanggamnu te, Lazar te a it hi.

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

⁶Huaijiakin a china chih a jakin, a omna ngeiah ni nih a tam lai hi.

⁷Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

⁷Huan, huaikhitin a nungjuite kiangah, Judia gamah I hoh nawn ding uh, achia.

⁸The disciples told him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”

⁸Huan, nungjuiten a kiangah, Rabbi, tuma zekin Judaten suanga honden a tum ua; huchipi in leng huaiah na hoh nawn himhimdia hia? a chi ua.

⁹Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

⁹Huan, Jesun, Sunin dak kal sawm leh nih a om ka hia? Mi suna a vak leh, a hoi ngei keia, hiai khovel vak a muh jiakin.

¹⁰ But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”

¹⁰Ahihhangin, mi jana a vak leh, a hoi naka; amaha vak a om louh jiakin, a chi a, a dawnga.

¹¹He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

¹¹Huai thute a gen a; huan, huai khitin a kiang uah, I lawmpa Lazar a ihmuta; a ihmu phawng halh dingin ka hoh dek ahi, a chi a.

¹²The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

¹²Huchiin, nungjuiten a kiangah, Toupa, a ihmut takleh a halh nawn nake, a chi ua.

¹³Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

¹³Jesun a sih thu a gen hi; himahleh, amau a khawl sunga aihmut thu a gen hiam a sa ua.

¹⁴So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

¹⁴Huchiin, Jesun chiantakin a kiang uah agen a, Lazar a si ahi.

¹⁵ I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

¹⁵Huai ka om louh nou jiakin ka kipak hi, na gintak theihna ding un; himahleh a kiangah I hoh ding uh, a chi a.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, “Didymus” means “Twin” said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go also, that we may die with him.”

¹⁶Huan, Thoma, Didum a chih un, a nungzuihpihte kiangah, A sihnaa I sih samna dingin i hoh ding uh, a chi a.

¹⁷So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

¹⁷Huchiin, Jesun a tunin, ni li hanah a na omta chih a thei a.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia 15 stadia is about 2.8 kilometers or 1.7 miles away.

¹⁸Bethani khua tuh Jerusalem kho kianga om ahi a, ching sawm leh ching nga phiala gamla ahi;

¹⁹Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

¹⁹huchiin a sanggampa uh sih tunga khamuangsak dingin Judate tampi Martha leh Mari kiangah a hong ua.

²⁰Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

²⁰Huan, Marthain Jesu a hong dek chih a jakin a vadawn a; Mari bel in ah a tu lailai a.

²¹Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

²¹Huan, Marthain Jesu kiangah, Toupa, hiaia om hi lechin, ka sanggampa si lou ding hi a.

²²Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

²²Tun ah leng Pathian kianga na nget peuhmah Pathian in nang honpe ding chih ka thei, a chi a.

²³Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²³Jesun a kiangah, Na sanggampa a thounawn ding, a chi a.

²⁴Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

²⁴Marthain a kiangah, Ni tawp ni chiah, thohnawnna ah, a thou nawn ding chih ka thei, a chi a.

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

²⁵Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Kei thohnawnna leh hinna ka hi; kuapeuh hon gingta tuh si mahleh a hing gige ding;

²⁶ Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

²⁶A hing peuhmaha, a hon gingta peuhmah khantawnin a si kei ding; huai thu na gingta hia? a chi a.

²⁷She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

²⁷Aman a kiangah, Gingta e, Toupa; Kris, Pathian Tapa, khovela hongpai dingpa na hi chih ka gingta hi, a chi a.

²⁸When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and is calling you.”

²⁸Huan huai thu a gen khit takin a kuana, a sanggamnu Mari tuh a sim sapa, Sinsakpa hiaiah a om a, nang honsam hi, a chi a.

²⁹When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

²⁹Huan, aman huai a jak takin, a dingkhe paha, a kiangah a vahoh a.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

³⁰Jesun tuh khua ah a lut naikei a. Marthain a vadawn laia, a omna ngei ah a om lai hi.

³¹Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³¹Huan, in sunga a khamuana ompih Judaten Mari dingkhe paha, a pawt a muh tak un, hanah kap dinga hoh dek hiin teh, chiin, a jui ua.

³²Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

³²Huan, Mari Jesu omna a vatunga, a muh takin a khebul ah a khupboha, a kiangah, Toupa, hiaia om hi lechin, ka sanggampa si louding hia, a chi a.

³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

³³Huan, Jesun Mari kap leh a honjui Judate kap a mu a, a lung a khoih mahmaha, khain amau hi;

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁴huan, aman amah kaw sial na hi ua? a chi a. Amau a kiangah, Toupa hongpai inla, en in, a chi ua.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵Jesu a kapta.

³⁶The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

³⁶Huan, Judaten, En di uh, Lazar it na tele; a chi ua.

³⁷Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

³⁷Himahleh khenkhatin, Hiai mi, mittopa mit hihvakpan, hiai mi leng a si lou sak theikeia eita? a chi ua.

³⁸Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

³⁸Huan, Jesu lungsung nakpi a khoiha om nawnin, han a tungta a. Huai han tuh kokhuk ahi a, suanga sit ahi.

³⁹Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

³⁹Jesun, Suang hem un, a chi a. A si sanggamnu Marthain a kiangah, Toupa, tun jaw a namta ding, a sihna ni li a hita ngala, a chi a.

⁴⁰Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

⁴⁰Jesun a kiangah, Na gintak leh Pathian thupina na mu ding, kon chi ka hia? a chi a. Huchiin, suang a hem ua.

⁴¹So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. NU omits “from the place where the dead man was lying.” Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴¹Huan, Jesu a vandak a, Pa ka thu na ngaih khiak jiakin na tungah ka kipak hi.

⁴² I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

⁴²Ka thu na ngaikhe jel chih ka thei a; himahleh, mipi, ding diamduamte jiakin hiai ka chi ahi, nang non sawl chih a gintak theihna dingun, a chi a.

⁴³When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴³Huan, huchia a pau khitin aw ngaih takin, Lazar, hongpawt in, a chi a, a kikou a.

⁴⁴He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

⁴⁴Huan, misi tuh a khut a khe, han puana tuam sain a hong pawtta a, a mai leng kinulna puana tuam ahi a. Jesun a kiang uah, Phel unla, pai sak un, a chi a.

⁴⁵Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁵Huaijiakin Mari kianga hong; Jesu thil hih mu, Judate a khen tampiin Jesu a gingta uhi;

⁴⁶But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁶himahleh, a khen Pharisaite kiangah a vahoh ua, a kianguah Jesu thilhihte a vahilh uh.

⁴⁷The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁷Huchii siampuliante leh Pharisaiten vaihawmte a sam khawm ua, Bangchibangin i hih ding ua? Hiai miin thillamdang tampi a hih ngala.

⁴⁸If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

⁴⁸Hichi banga i khahzam injaw mi tengtengin amah a gingta ding ua; huan, Rome mite a hongpai ding ua, i mun leh i chite a honlak sak ding uh, a chi ua.

⁴⁹But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁴⁹Huan, a lak ua mi khat Kaiaphain, huai kuma Siampu Lianpen ahi a, a kiang uah, Nou bangmah theikei uteh.

⁵⁰nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”

⁵⁰i chi tengteng manthat louhna dingin mi tengteng sika mi khat sih, nou a din a hoih chih leng na ngaihtuah kei uh, a chi a.

⁵¹Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵¹Huai thu tuh amah phuah tawmin a gen kei, huai kumin Siampu Lianpen ahi a, a chite uh sika Jesu a sih ding a genkhol ahi jaw hi.

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵²Huai chite sik kia ahi keia, Pathian ta khovela dalhte tengteng pawl khata a pi khawmna dingin leng ahi sam hi.

⁵³So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁵³Huchiin, huai ni akipan amah hihlum dingin a kihou jel uh.

⁵⁴Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

⁵⁴Huaijiakin Jesu Judate lakah a langin a vak nawnta keia, huaia kipanin gamdai jul lama kho khat Ephraim a chih uah a vahoh zota hi; huaiah nugjuite toh a om nilouh ta uhi.

⁵⁵Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

⁵⁵Huan, Judate Paikan Ankuangluina a naita a, mi tampi kisiangsak dingin, gam apat, Paikan Ankuanglui main, Jerusalem khua ah a hohtou ua.

⁵⁶Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”

⁵⁶Huchiin, Jesu a zong ua, Pathian biakin ah ding kawmin a kihou ua, Bang ahia na gintak uh? Ankuangluina ah a hongkei ding maw? a kichi ua.Siampu liante leh Pharisaiten amah amat theihna ding un kuapeuhin a omna a theih uleh amaute theihsak ding thu a peta uhi.

⁵⁷Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

⁵⁷Siampu liante leh Pharisaiten amah amat theihna ding un kuapeuhin a omna a theih uleh amaute theihsak ding thu a peta uhi.
