Luhka 11
1 Mhmüp mat üng Jesuh ktaiyü se, a ktaiyü khap üng axüisaw mat naw, “Bawipa aw, Johan naw ktaiyünak axüisaw he üng a jah mtheia kba jah mtheia,” a ti.
Then it happened, when He finished praying in a certain place, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami ktaiyü üng hinkba ti ua, ‘Kami Pa, Na ngming ngcim leisawngnak am ve se. Na khaw pha law se.
So He said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, your name must be reverenced. Your Kingdom must come. Your will must be done on earth as it is in heaven.
3 Amhmüp tä kami ei khyawh buh jah pe.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Jah katnaki kami mhlät khawia kba, nang naw pi kami katnak he jah mhläta. Hlawhlepnaka am jah cehsak kaw pi,” a ti.
Also, forgive us our sins, because we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And, do not lead us into testing, but deliver us from the malignant one.”
5 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üng mat naw, mthan nglunga a püia veia cit lü, ‘Ka püi aw, muk kthum na kpu lawa;
Then He said to them: “Who among you will have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 Ka khin law ve, mbei vai i am ta veng’ a ti üng;
because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 im k'um üngka naw, ‘Ä na kpyaneia; ksaw khai päng veng, ka ca he pi ihnak üng ip päng ve u; tho law lü am ning pe law hlü thei veng’ ti lü, a msang te,
and he will answer from within and say, ‘Don't bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you?’
8 Ka ning jah mthehki, a püia akya aphäha, tho law lü am ava pete, ä khyakei lü a kthähei nua phäha tho law lü, a ngaih jah pe khai.
I say to you, even if he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 “Acunakyase, ka ning jah mthehki, kthäh ua, acunüng nami yah khai; sui ua, acunüng nami hmu khai; khawk ua, acunüng ksawh ning jah mhmawn pe khai he.
“So I say to you: ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 “Upi, kthähki avan naw yah khawiki, upi suiki naw hmu khawiki, upi khawki am ksawh mhmawn pe khai he.
Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 “Nangmi üngka pa, a ca naw muk kthäh se, u naw lung pe khai aw? Nga kthäh se, u naw ngaa nghnün üng kphyu pe khai aw?
And which father among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
12 “Acunüng aiktui kthäh se, u naw jawngk’ai pe khai aw?
Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 “Nangmi khyang kse he naw pi nami ca üng akdaw pet vai nami ksing üng, nami Pa khankhawa ka naw, kthähki avan üng Ngmüimkhya Ngcim aktäa pe hlü ve,” a ti.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
14 Acunüng, Jesuh naw khawyai am ngthuhei theiki mat a ktäm. Acunüng khawyai a kco law la ä ngthuhei theikia khyang cun ngthuhei law be thei se khyang he aktäa cäicah lawki he.
Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled.
15 Khyang avang he naw, “Khawyai mkhawng Beelzebula johit am ni khawyai he a jah ktäm,” ami ti.
But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16 Avang naw ami mhnüteinaka, khan üngka ti ksingnak vai müncankse kthähki he.
While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
17 Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami ngaihkyunak jah ksing lü, “Ia pung pi amimät ngcawhki he cun pyeh khawiki he ni; khuiim mat üngka he pi amimät ngcawhki he cun khyük khawiki he ni.
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 “Khawyama khaw pi amimät ami ngtuk üng ihawkba a khaw khäng khai ni? Beelzebula a peta johit am khawyai he jah ksätki nami tiki ni.
So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19 “Acukba ka jah ksätkia akya üng, ihawkba nami hnukläk he naw khawyai jah ksätkie ni? Nami mäta hnukläk he naw nami hleinak mdan ve u.
Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 “Cunsepi, kei naw Pamhnama johit am khawyai he jah ktäm khawikia ka kya üng, Pamhnama khaw nami veia pha law pängki.
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 “Khyang kyan naw likcim kpawmei lü a im a ngänga küt üng, a khawhthem mä lü awm khawiki;
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22 “Cunsepi amäta kyan bawki naw tu law lü, a näng law üng, a üpnaka likcim he jah yut lü, a khawhthem lo lü, jah yet hü khai.
But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
23 “Acunakyase, upi ka hlawnga am awmki cun, ka yea kyaki; upi am na mkhämpüiki cun kthehkia kyaki.
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24 “Acunüng, khawyai khyanga k'um üngka naw a luh law üng, a xüieinak vai sui hü lü, tuia am a awmnak hnünea ngvak hü khawiki; acunüng, xüieinak vai am hmu lü, ‘Ka luh lawnaka ima nghlat be vang’ ti lü,
“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding any it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
25 ava pha be üng ana phekphaih u lü a na dawkya sak u se a hmuh.
And coming it finds it swept and put in order.
26 “Acun la va cit be lü, amäta pi se bawki khawyai kce khyüh jah lawpüi se, acunüng lut u lü awmki he, acuna khyanga awm law vai cun akma a na awm khawia pi ksehlen bawki,” a ti.
Then it goes and picks up seven other spirits, more malignant than itself, and they go in and live there; so the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Acukba ngthu ana pyen k'um üng, khyang hea ksunga nghnumi mat ngpyang law lü, a veia, “Ning pawi nakia pum la ning tukia cih ta a jo sen ve,” a ti.
And then, as He was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!”
28 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna kthaka ta, Pamhnama ngthu ngai lü acuna kba awmki he, ami jo sen bawk ve,” a ti.
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
29 Acunüng, khyang he a veia ami ngbum law üng, Jesuh naw, “Atuh ngsawn he hin se ve u; müncankse suiki he, cunsepi, Jonaha müncankse dänga thea msingnak ä jah pet vai.
Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say: “This is a malignant generation. It keeps wanting a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
30 “Jonah Ninevih khyang hea msingnaka a kyaa kba, khyanga Capa pi atuh khyang hea hama msingnaka kya khai.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of the Man be to this generation.
31 “Sheba sangpuxangnu, Solamona themnak ngaiei khaia athuknak üngka naw lawkia kyase, ngthumkhyanaka mhmüp üng, atuh ngsawn hea veia tho law ha lü jah mkat law khai. Ngai u Solamona kthaka kyäp bawki hia awm ve.
The queen of the South will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
32 “Ninevih khyang he, Jonaha ngthu pyena phäha ngjutki hea kyase, ngthumkhyanaka mhmüp üng, atuh ngsawn hea veia ngdüi law hnga u lü, jah mkat law khai he; ngai u, Jonaha kthaka kyäp bawki hia awm ve.
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
33 “U naw meiim mdäi lü am thup khawi u, cäa k'umapi am thup khawi u, lutki he naw ami hmuh vaia angdangnak üng ni ami tak khawi.
“No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in hiding or under a basket, but on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 “Pumsa meiim cun mika kyaki. Acunakyase na mik avai üng na pumsa avan vai bäihki. Cunsepi, na mik a pyeh üng na pumsa avan nghmüpki.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, whenever your ‘eye’ is good, your whole body is illuminated. But when it is malignant, your body also is darkened.
35 “Acunakyase, akvai nami k'uma awmki, am a nghmüp vaia cäi na u.
So see to it that the ‘light’ in you not be darkness.
36 “Acunüng na pumsa ä nghmüp lü avan a vai üng, meiim naw aktäa a kcäiha kba, na pumsa vai bäih khai,” a ti.
If then your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, the whole will be illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
37 Jesuh ana ngthuhei k'um üng Pharise mat naw buh ei khaia khü se cit lü buh eiki.
Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.
38 Acunüng a kut am mthih lü buh ei se a hmuh üng, Pharise aktäa cäiki.
But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.
39 Acunüng Bawipa naw, “Nangmi Pharise he khawt la kbe akpung lama nami mthi khawiki; cunsepi nami mlungmthin k'uma setnak la katnak am nami beki.
So the Lord said to him: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but your inside is full of greed and malignancy.
40 “Khyang k'ang he aw! Akpung pi pyang lü ak’um pi pyangki cun Pamhnam am niki aw?
Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
41 “Acunakyase, nami khawt la nami kbe üng awmki m'yenkseki he üng jah pe ua. Acunüng, ahmäi nami hama ngcim hei law khai ni.
Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 “Nangmi Pharise he, nami jo se ve! Kcingyüt paibänge la khuhlip kce he pi xa üng mat pet vaia nami khüiki. Cunsepi, hmankanak la Pamhnam jawng'engnak am nami cäi naki. Ahin he va jah pawh ma u lü akce he pi nami jah pawh vai sü.
“But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.
43 “Nangmi Pharise he nami jo se ve, Sinakoka ngawhnak akdaw säih la jawihtuknaka nghnukset kyu nami jawng naki.
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 “Nami jo se ve, ng’uhnün tia ä ngsing se, khyang he naw ä ksing u lü, a khana ami ceh hünak am nami tängki,” a ti.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 Acunüng, thum ksingki mat naw, “Saja aw, hina ngthu na pyen hin keimi pi na jah ksenaki ni” ti lü a msang.
Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Thumksing he aw, nangmi pi nami jo se ve! Phüi kse khyanga khana nami mtaihki, namimät naw nami kutmdawng am pi am nami hnet hlüki.
So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 “Nami jo se ve! nami pupa he naw ami hnim, sahma hea mkhya im nami saki.
Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 “Acunakyase, nami pupa hea ami bilawh cun jah ksingpüi u lü, nami jah ngaisimpüiki ni; amimi naw hnim u se, nangmi naw ami mkhya ime nami jah saki.
Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you restore their tombs.
49 “Acunakyase, Pamhnama ksingnak naw pi pyen lü, ‘Sahma he la ngsä he jah tüih pe ni se, avang jah mkhuimkha u lü, jah hnim khai he,’
Also, because of this ‘the wisdom of God’ said: ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
50 acunakyase, khawmdeka ngtüi üng tün lü, ngsawikia sahma hea thisen,
so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 Abela thisen üngka naw tün lü, Temple la kphyawnkunga nglaka ami hnim Zakhariha thisen naw hina ngsawn hea phu jah kthäh be khai. Ä, akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, acun naw hina ngsawn hea phu jah kthäh be khai.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 “Thumksing he, ksingnaka imksawh mhmawnak tawh nami thupkia kyase nami jo se ve. Namimät pi am lut u lü lut hlüki he pi nami jah mkhyawhki,” a ti.
Woe to you lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering!”
53 Jesuh naw acuna hmün a cehtak üng thumksing he la Pharise he naw ami mkateinak vaia,
Well when He had said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him on vehemently and to cross-examine Him about many things,
54 a pyen law msawk ami man hlüa phäha, ngäng u lü ang'enga ahmäi hmäi ami kthäh.
lying in wait for Him, trying to catch Him in something He might say, so that they might accuse Him.
