¹After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

¹Huai khitin Jesu Galili gamah a vak a; Judaten amah hihlup a tup jiakun Judia gam a pha nuam kei hi.

²Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

²Huan, Judate Biakbukte Ankuangluina a naita a. Huchiin, a unauten a kiangah,

³His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

³Hiai akipanin Judia gamah vahoh in, na nungjuiten na thil hih a muh theihna ding un.

⁴For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

⁴Kuamahin agukin thil bangmah a hih kei uh, amah min than ut ngalin. Hiai thilte khawng na hih tak ngal leh khovel kiangah kimusak in, a chi ua.

⁵For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

⁵A unauten nangawnin leng amah a gingta ngal kei ua.

⁶Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁶Huan, Jesun a kianguah, Ka hun a tung nai kei; nou hun jaw chikpeuhin a tung gige ahi.

⁷ The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁷Khovelin nou hon ho theikei hi, kei jaw honho nak uhi, a thilhihte uh a gilou chih ka hilh chet nak jiakin.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

⁸Nou ankuangluina ah vahohtou unla, kei jaw tu ankuangluina ah ka hohtou tadih kei ding, ka hun a tun nai louh jiakin, a chi a.

⁹Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

⁹Huan, huai tuh a kianguah a gen a. Galili gamah a om nilouh a.

¹⁰But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹⁰Himahleh, a unaute ankuangluinaa a hoh touh nung un, amah leng vantang theih louhin, a guk bangin a hoh tou sam a.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

¹¹Huan, Judaten ankuangluina ah amah a zong ua, Kaw om ahia? a chi ua.

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.”

¹²Huan, a tungah mipte laka mi a phunsim supsup ua, a khenin, Mi hoih ahi, a chi ua; khenkhatin, Hi dek kei e, mipi a pimang ahi, a chi ua.

¹³Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹³Himahleh, Judate a kihtak jiakun kuamahin a tungtang thu a gen lang kei uh.

¹⁴But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁴Huan, ankuanglui san lai takin, Jesu Pathian biakin ah a hoh tou a, thu a hilha.

¹⁵The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁵Huan, Judaten, Hiai min zil ngeilou pia bang achia lai siam ahia? a chi ua, lamdang a sa mahmah uh.

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁶Huan, Jesun amau a dawng a, Ka thu hilh jaw keia ahi kei, honsawlpaa ahi jaw;

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁷kuapeuh amah deihlam hihutin, thu hilh tuh Pathian akipan hia, keimah phuahtawma ka gen, a thei ding.

¹⁸ He 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.

¹⁸Kuapeuh amah phuahtawm thu gen jaw, amah hoihna zong ahi; a sawlpa hoihna zong tuh, huai mi tuh mi tak ngial ahi, amah ah dik louhna himhim a om kei hi.

¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

¹⁹Mosiin dan na kiang uah honpe ka hia? Himahleh, na lak uah kuamahin Dan na jui kei uh. Nou bang achia honhihlup tum? a chi a.

²⁰The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

²⁰Huan, mipin, Dawi jawl neive; kuan ahia honhihlup tum? a chi ua, a dawng ua.

²¹Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

²¹Huan, Jesun a dawng, a kiang uah. Thil khat ka hih nou tengtengin lamdang na sa uh.

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²²Hiai jiakin ahi, Mosiin zeksum thu nou a honpiaka. (Mosi akipan ahi ngal keia, pipute akipan ahi zo ngala), Khawlnin leng mi zek na sum jel uhi.

²³ If 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?

²³Mosi Dana tatlek louhna dinga Khawlnia leng pasalin a zek a sum sak ngal a leh, ken Khawlnia mi ka hihdam vek jiakin ka tungah na heh tuam umaw?

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁴A lat bangin ngaihtuah kei unla, diktat takin ngaihtuah jaw un, a chi a.

²⁵Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁵Huan, Jerusalem khuaa mi khen khatin, Hiai mi hihlup a tuppa uh hi lou hia?

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁶En dih uh, hiaiah a langtangin thu a gen a, a kiangah lah bangmah a gen kei ua. Amah Kris ahi chih vaihawmten a thei taktakta ua eita maw?

²⁷However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁷Hiai mi a hongkipatna lam nangawnin I thei ngala. Kris bel a hongtun hun chiah a hongkipatna lam kuamahin a theikei ding uhi, a chi ua.

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.

²⁸Huaijiakin Jesun Pathian biakina thu a hilh kawmin a kikou a, Nou non thei ua, ka hongkipatna lam leng na thei uh. Himahleh keimah thu a hongpai ka hi kei, amah kei honsawlpa tuh midik ahi, amah lah na thei ngal kei ua.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

²⁹Ken tuh amah ka thei hi; amaha kipana hongpawt ka hia, aman lah honsawl ahi ngala, a chi a.

³⁰They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³⁰Huchiin, amah tuh mat a tumta ua, himahleh a hun a tun nai louh jiakin kuamahin a khoih kei uhi.

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?”

³¹Mipi a khen tampiten bel amah a gingta ua, Kris a hongtun hun chiangin, hiai mi hih sanga tam jaw thillamdang a honhih dia hia? a chi uh.

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

³²Huan, Pharisaiten a tunga mipi phunna thute a ja ua; huchiin, siampu liante leh Pharisaiten amah man dingin heutute a sawlta uh.

³³Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

³³Huan, Jesun, Sawt lou kal na kiang uah ka om phot dia, honsawlpa kiangah ka pai ding;

³⁴ You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”

³⁴nou non zong ding ua, non mu kei ding uh; ka ommna ah leng na hong theikei ding uh, a chi a.

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?

³⁵Huan, Judate a kihou ua, I muh louh dingin hiai mi kaw hoh dek a ding? Grikte laka Pemdalhte kianga hohin Grikte thu vahilh ding a diam aw?

³⁶What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’? ”

³⁶Nou non zong ding ua, non mu kei ding uh, ka omna ah leng na hong theikei ding uh, a chih, bang a chihna a de aw? a chi ua.

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!

³⁷Huan, ankuanglui ni nanungpen, ni thupiniin, Jesu a dinga, a kikou a, Kuapeuh a dangtak leh ka kiangah hong henla, dawn hen.

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

³⁸Kuapeuh kei hon gingta tuh laisiangthou genbangin tui hing luite a sungah a hongluang khe ding, a chi a.

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.

³⁹Hiai thu tuh a gingtaten Kha a tan ding thu uh a genna ahi; Khalah piak ahi nai tadih keia, Jesu lah pahtawia a om nai louh jiakin.

⁴⁰Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴⁰Huchiin, mipi laka khenkhatin huai thu a jak un, Hiai jaw jawlnei hi petmah e, a chi ua.

⁴¹Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴¹Khenkhatin, Hiai jaw Kris ahi, a chi ua. Khenkhatin bel, Bangdin Kris Galili gamah a hongpawt tel dia?

⁴²Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, 2 Samuel 7:12 and from Bethlehem, Micah 5:2 the village where David was?”

⁴²Kris jaw David suante lakah, David omna khua Bethlehem ah a pawt ding ahi chih laisiangthouin a gen ka hia? a chi ua.

⁴³So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴³Huchiin amah jiakin mipi a kikhen ua, a kilangta uh.

⁴⁴Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁴Khenkhatin mat a ut ua, himahleh kuamahin a khoih tuankei uhi.

⁴⁵The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁵Huan, heutute, siampu liante leh Pharisaite kiangah a hongpai nawn ua; huan, amau a kiang uah,

⁴⁶The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁶Bang achia honpi lou? a chi ua. Heututen, Huai mi bang himhimin kuamahin thu a gen ngei kei hi, a chi ua, a dawng uhi.

⁴⁷The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁷Huan, Pharisaiten a kiang uah, Nou leng pimangin na om samta ua hia?

⁴⁸Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁸Vaihawmte leh Pharisaite laka mi himhim amah gingta a omta ahia?

⁴⁹But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.”

⁴⁹Huai dan theilou mipite soplai, hamse thuak eive ua, a chi ua, a dawng uhi.

⁵⁰Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁵⁰Nikodem, tumaa Jesu kianga hong, a lak ua pangsam ahi a, aman tuh a kiang uah,

⁵¹“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

⁵¹Amah kam ngei a thu jak leh a thilhih theih main i dan un mi siamlouh a tangsak ngei ahia? a chi a.

⁵²They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee. See Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:13-16. ”

⁵²Amau tuh a kiangah, Nang leng huai Galili mi na hi sam maw? Zong lechin, Galili gamah jawlnei kuamah pawt ding a om kei uh chih thei tanla, a chi ua, a dawng ua.Huan, mi chih amau in chiat ah a paita uh.

⁵³Everyone went to his own house,

⁵³Huan, mi chih amau in chiat ah a paita uh.
