Luhka 6
1 Sabbath mhmüp üng Jesuh lo hmu lama cit se axüisaw he naw kyung cangvui jah kpyat u lü ami kut am mnawiki he naw ei u se,
One Sabbath Jesus was walking through cornfields, and his disciples were picking the ears of wheat, and rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Pharise avang he naw, “Ivai Sabbath mhmüp üng am nghlawiki nami pawhki ni?” ami ti.
“Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?” asked some of the Pharisees.
3 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Davit a ei cawi law lü, a püi he am i ami pawh am nami kheh khawiki aw?
Jesus’ answer was, “Haven’t you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions –
4 Pamhnama ima lut lü, ktaiyüe däng naw ami ei ngkawi muk lo lü, ei lü, a püi he üng pi a jah pet cen,” a ti.
That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?”
5 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Khyanga capa hin Sabbatha bawi ni,” a ti.
Then Jesus added, “The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
6 Sabbath akce üng Sinakoka lut lü a jah mthei. Acunüng khyang mat a kut kpat lam xoki awmki.
On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
7 Thum ksing he la Pharise he avang naw ami mkateinak vaia, Sabbath mhmüp üng mdaw law be khai aw tia a peia awm u lü ami mcih.
The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.
8 Jesuh naw ami ngaihkyunak jah ksingki naw akutxo üng, “Tho law lü maa lawa” ti se, akxo cun tho law lü ngdüiki.
Jesus, however, knew what was in their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, “Stand up and come out into the middle.” The man stood up,
9 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Mat ka ning jah kthäh khai. Sabbath mhmüp üng kpüi vai aw angkawih? Kpyeh vai aw angkawih? Xünak küikyan vai aw angkawih? Kpyeh vai aw angkawi?” a ti.
and Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?”
10 Acunüng ami van jah teng law päng lü; akxo üng, “Na kut sänga” ti se, acunkba a säng la vanglama ka kba a kut daw law beki.
Then, looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” The man did so; and his hand had become sound.
11 Acunüng ami mlung naw jah uimsoei se ikba Jesuh ami pawh vaia ngthäh kyuki he.
But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.
12 Acunüng, Jesuh ktaiyü khaia mcunga ktawih lü, Pamhnama veia mthai mhlän lü ktaiyüki.
Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.
13 Khaw athaih law la axüisaw he a veia jah khü lü, xaleinghngih ngsä hea a jah xü he cun,
When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named ‘apostles.’
14 Pitaa a sui Sihmon la a na Andru; Jakuk la Johan, Philip la Batolame,
They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Mahte la Thomah, Alaphaha capa Jakuk, Patriot naki Sihmon,
Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,
16 Jakuka ca Judah la Jesuh ceng lawkia Judah Iskarota kyaki he.
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.
17 Jesuh a ngsä he am mcung üngka naw ami kyum law be üng, a donak üng axüisaw he khawjah am ngdüiki he. Acuia khyang khawjah, Judah khaw avan üngka he la, Jerusalem üngka he, Turah la Sidon mlüh lam tuikam üngka khyang khawjah;
Afterward Jesus came down the hill with them and took his stand on a level place. With him were a large crowd of his disciples, and great numbers of people from the whole of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast district of Tyre and Sidon,
18 a ngthu ngai khai he la ami natnak a jah mdaw be vaia law hüki he. Acunüng ngmüimkhya kse hea jah pawhe pi law u se a jah mdaw be.
who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;
19 A vei üngka naw khyaibahnak lut law lü jah yai sak se, khyang avan naw ami hnet vaia ktha naki he.
and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, because a power went out from him which restored them all.
20 Jesuh naw axüisaw he jah teng lü, “M'yenkseki he aw nami jo sen ve; Pamhnama khaw nami hama kyaki!
Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 “Nangmi atuh nami ei nami cawiki nami jo sen ve; nami ei nami phü law khaia kyaki! “Nangmi atuh nami mbawikyapki he nami jo sen ve; nami yaiyüng law khaia kyaki!
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 “Khyanga Capaa phäha khyang he naw ning jah hneng u lü, ning jah jüi u lü nami ngming am dawki ti u lü ami ning jah yawk üng nami jo senki!
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and insult you, and reject your name as an evil thing – because of the Son of Man.
23 “Jekyai u lü, hlim u lü, nglam ua, khankhawa nami ngkhengnak vai khawjah awmki. Acukba ami pupa he naw sahma hea khana ana pawh khawiki he ni.
Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
24 “Cunsepi atuh nami bawimangki he nami jo se ve; hlimnak nami yah pängkia kyaki!
But alas for you who are rich, for you have had your comforts in full.
25 “Nangmi atuh nami phüki nami jo se ve; nami cawi law khaia kyaki! “Nangmi atuh nami yaiyüngkie nami jo se ve; ktha se lü nami mbawikyap law khaia kyaki!
Alas for you who are sated now, for you will hunger. Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 “Khyang he naw ami ning jah mhlünmtai üng nami jo se ve; ami pupa he naw sahma kcang he am niki he khana acunkba ana pawh khawiki he ni.
Alas for you when everyone speaks well of you; for this is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
27 “Ka ngthu ngjaki he aw, nami ye jawng na u lü ning jah hnengkie ami dawnak vaia pawh u.
But to you who hear I say – love your enemies, show kindness to those who hate you,
28 “Ning jah yünceki he josenak am jah kbe u lü ning jah mkhuimkhaki he jah ktaiyü pe u.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who insult you.
29 “Nami ngbeng vanglam ning jah kbeiki üng vanglam pi dunei pe u, acunüng nami jih ning jah lawhei peki am nami kcu a lawhei vaia pi ä nami mkhyawh vai.
When someone gives one of you a blow on the cheek, offer the other cheek as well; and, when anyone takes away your cloak, do not keep back your coat either.
30 “Ning jah kthäheiki üng pe u lü nami ka ning jah lawhei peki ä kthäh be u.
Give to everyone who asks of you; and, when anyone takes away what is yours, do not demand its return.
31 “Khyang naw nami khana akdaw a pawh vai nami ngjak hlüa kba khyanga khana akdaw pawh ua.
Do to others as you wish them to do to you.
32 “Ning jah jawng naki däng nami jawngnak be üng ngkhengnak i nami yah khai ni? Khyangka he naw pi jah jawng naki cun jawng na beki he ni.
If you love only those who love you, what thanks will be due to you? Why, even the outcast love those who love them!
33 “Acunüng nami khana dawki hea veia däng nami daw be üng ngkhengnak i nami yah khai ni? Khyangka he naw pi acunkba cui pawh hngaki he ni.
For, if you show kindness only to those who show kindness to you, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast do that!
34 “Ning jah thung be thei khai däng üng yah be vaia ngak'uheinak am iyaw nami kpu üng ngkhengnak i nami yah khai ni? Khyangka he naw pi yah be vaia ngak'uhnak am khyangka he üng jah kpu hngaki he ni.
If you lend only to those from whom you expect to get something, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast lend to the outcast in the hope of getting as much in return!
35 “Cunsepi nami ye he jah jawng na u lü ami dawnak vai pawh u lü jah kpu ua, acunkba nami pawh üng ngkhengnak nami yah be vai ä ngai ua. Acunüng Akhlüng säih Mhnama ca hea nami kya khai. Mhnam cun bänak am ksingki la am dawki hea veia pi m'yeneinak taki ni.
But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.
36 “Acunakyase nami Pa m'yeneinak am a bea kba khyang m'yenei hnga ua.
Learn to be merciful – even as your Father is merciful.
37 “Khyang ä nami jah ngthumkhya pet vai, acunüng ngthumkhyanak am am nami awm khai; ä nami jah mkatei vai, acunüng mkateinak am am nami awm khai; jah mhlät u, acunüng mhlätnak am nami awm hnga khai,
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 “Khyang üng pe u, Pamhnam naw ning jah pe be khai. Akcanga kbäi dänga ä kyase hnawm u lü, khyün u lü, pyep khaia ning jah pe khai he. Nami kbäinak bä am Mhnam naw ning jah kbäi pe be khaia kyaki” a ti.
Give, and others will give to you. A generous measure, pressed and shaken down, and running over, will they pour into your lap; for the standard you use will be the standard used for you.”
39 Acunüng Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak mat ami veia pyen lü, “Amikmü naw, amikmü cehpüi thei khai aw? Amikmü naw a cehpüi üngta ani nghngih khuia k'uma am kya khai xawi aw?
Then, speaking in parables, Jesus said, “Can one blind person guide another? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 “Ngtheiki cun mtheikia kthaka am kyäp bawk naw, upi ami ngthei käna jah mtheikia mäih ni ami law kawm.
A student is not above their teacher; yet every finished student will be like their teacher.
41 “Ivaia nami mäta mik üng thingmtawn awmki am ngai u lü, nami bena mik üngka mik ek cun nami hmuh ni?
And why do you look at the speck of sawdust in someone’s eye, while you pay no attention at all to the plank of wood in your own?
42 “Ikba nami mäta mik üngka thingmtawn am hmuei u lü na benaa mik üngka ‘Na mik ek ning lawh pe vang’ nami ti thei ni?’ Hypocrit he, akcüka nami mäta mik üngka thingmtawn loei ma u lü, acunüng nami benaa mik üngka mik ek nami lawh pet vaia angsinga nami hmu khai.
How can you say to your friend ‘Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the speck in your friend’s.
43 “Thing kdaw naw akse am ngtheih khawi naw, thing kse pi akdawa am ngtheih khawi naw.
There is no such thing as a good tree bearing worthless fruit, or, on the other hand, a worthless tree bearing good fruit.
44 “Thing avan a ktheih üng ksinga kyaki. Khyang u naw nghling kpyap üng ktheih am kbit khawi u, u naw kpyap üng capyit am kbit khawi u.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. People do not gather figs off thorn bushes, nor pick a bunch of grapes off a bramble.
45 “Khyang kdaw naw akdaw a mlungmthin üngka akdaw mhluh law khawiki; khyang kse naw akse a mlungmthin üngka akse mhluh law khawiki. Isetiakyaküng a mlungmthin üng beki a mka naw a pyen khawia kyaki.
A good person, from the good stores of their heart, brings out what is good; while a bad person, from their bad stores, brings out what is bad. For what fills someone’s heart will rise to their lips.
46 “Ivai ka ning jah mtheh am bi u lü, ‘Bawipa, Bawipa’ tia nami na khüki ni?
Why do you call me ‘Master! Master!’ and yet fail to do what I tell you?
47 “Khyang ka veia law lü ka ngthu ngai lü ka ngthua kba awmki avan cun u am tängki tia kyak üng,
Everyone who comes to me and listens to my teaching and acts on it – I will show you to whom they may be compared.
48 lunga khana angkyunga co lü imsaki am tängki ni. Tui däm law lü tui naw acuna im cun tu law se pi lunga khana saka kyase am ngsün lü awmki.
They may be compared to a person building a house, who dug, and went deep, and laid the foundation on the rock. Then, when a flood came, the river swept down on that house, but had no power to shake it, because it had been built well.
49 “Ka ngthu ngja lü ka ngthua kba am awmki cun, akhängnak am awmki, mdeka khana imksa am tängki. Tui däm law lü tui naw acuna im cun tu law se angxita kyu lü avan pyehki,” a ti.
But those who have listened and not acted on what they have heard may be compared to a person who built a house on the ground without any foundation. The river swept down on it, and the house immediately collapsed; and great was the crash that followed.”
