Makuh 1
1 Hin hin Pamhnama Capa Jesuh Khritawa mawng Thangkdaw ni.
THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 “Pamhnam naw, ‘na maa ka ngsä, lam pyang khaia ka tüi law khai.’
as it is written in the prophets; “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 Khyang mat, khawkhyawng khawa ngpyangki naw, ‘Bawipa a lam pyang ua; a cehnak vai lam ngdüngsak ua!’ a ti” tia, akphyüma sahma Hesajah naw, a yuka kba.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait.”
4 Acunüng, Johan khawkhyawng khawa ngdang law lü, baptican jah pe law lü, jah mtheimthang law lü, “Nami katnak nghlata u lü Baptican khan ua, Pamhnam naw nami katnak he ning jah mhlät khai ni,” a ti.
John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 Acunüng, Judah khaw la Jerusalem mlüha khyang he ngthu ngai khaia Johana veia citki he. Ami katnak he jah phyeh u se Jordan tuinu üng Johan naw baptican a jah khansak.
And all the country of Judea went out to him, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Johan cun samu am ami pyan suisak suisa lü, savunksawmyüi a kcawi üng vawp lü, mkhaü he la mawkpyawnga khawitui jah ei awki.
Now John was clothed with a camel’s hair garment, and a girdle of leather about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
7 Johan naw sang lü, “Ka hnua law khaia khyang ta keia kthaka kyäp bawk ve, kei cun kawp lü a khawdawkyüi ka kphyan pe khaia pi am ka ngkawihki ni.
And he preached, saying, One mightier than I is coming after me, the string of whose shoes I am not worthy, stooping down, to unloose.
8 Kei naw tui am baptican ka ning jah peki, cunsepi ani naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am Baptican ning jah pe khai,” a ti.
I indeed baptise you with water; but he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Acun käna ivei am ngsawk se, Jesuh Kalile khaw Nazaret üngka naw law se, Johan naw Jordan tuinu üng baptican a pet.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.
10 Tui üngka naw angxita a thawh law be üng, khankhaw nghmawng law lü, Ngmüimkhya cun mümca kba a khana kyum law se a hmuh.
And immediately on going up from the water, he saw the heavens divided by a chasm, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
11 Acunüng khankhaw üngka kthai naw, “Nang, ka ning jawng'engnak kcanga ka Capa, na khana ka je leng lengki,” tia, ngthang lawki.
and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 Acun la Ngmüimkhya naw khawkhyawng khawa a tüih.
And immediately the Spirit impelled him to go into the wilderness.
13 Acuia khawmhmüp kphyükip khawyam naw hlawhlep se awmki. Khisa he pi awmki he, acunüngpi khankhawngsä he naw law u lü ami msümcei law.
And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministred unto him.
14 Johan thawngim üng ami khyum käna, Jesuh Kalile khawa cit lü, Mhnama Thangkdaw pyen hü lü,
But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:
15 “Akcün pha lawpäng ve, Mhnama khaw ng’et law ve! Nami katnak he jah nghlata u lü, thangkdaw jum ua!” a ti.
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Kalile tuili kama Jesuh a ceh üng, Sihmon la a na Andru ngvai vawiki xawi jah hmu lü,
And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
17 Jesuh naw, “Na läk law nia, kei naw khyang man khaia ka ning jah mthei khai,” a ti.
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men:
18 Acunüng angxita ani ngvai jah yawk hüt ni lü, Jesuha hnu läki xawi.
and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19 Acun üngka naw, asäng va cit lü, Zebedea capa Jakuk la a na Johan, mlawnga khana ani ngvai jah na pyangei ni se a jah hmuh.
And going from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and others in the vessel mending the nets.
20 Jesuh naw a jah hmuh la jah khü se, ani pa Zebede la mlawnga khana ani jah ngvaha khyang he jah yawk hüt ni lü, Jesuha hnu läki xawi.
And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.
21 Jesuh la axüisaw he Kapenawm mlüha law u se, angawi Sabbath mhmüp üng Jesuh naw Sinakok k’uma lut lü, a jah mthei.
And they entered into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath going into the synagogue, he taught.
22 Thum jah mtheiki hea kba am kya lü, ana takia kba jah mthei se khyang he aktäa cäiki he.
And they were struck with astonishment at his doctrine; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Acunüng, ami Sinakoka k’uma khyang mat, ngmüimkhyaksea awmnak naw,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Nazaret Jesuh aw, i mi nglak ve se ja? Na jah kpyeh khaia na lawki aw? Nang u ti ka ksingki. Nang cun Mhnama ngsä ngcim ni!” ti lü, ngpyangki.
saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Jesuh naw, “Ä khihkhe lü, a k’um üngka naw, angxita lut lawa,” ti lü, ngmüimkhya kse a ksät.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 Khawyai naw acuna khyang cun ksün lü, angsanga ngpyang lü, lut lawki.
And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Khyang he ami van cäi law u lü, “Hin hin ia ngkhaw ni? Ahina mtheimthangnak hin akthai am niki aw? Ana takia kba khawyai he pi jah ksät se, a pyen ngaiki he hin,” tia mat la mat ngthähki he.
And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?
28 Acun la angxita, Kalile khaw avan üng Jesuha mawng ngthang hüki.
And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 Jesuh la axüisaw he Sinakok üngka naw lut law u lü, Jakuk la Johan am, Sihmon la Andrua ima cit ktäiki he.
Then straitway going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Sihmona pi, mhnatei se ngjänki, Jesuh a pha law la ami mtheh.
But Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her.
31 Jesuh naw a veia cit lü, a kut üng kaih lü, a mthawh la mhnat naw khya se, acun la a jah khinak.
And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.
32 Mü lam khawkyak käna, am phetki he avan la khawyai he naw a jah awmnak avan he cun Jesuha veia ami jah lawpüi.
But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.
33 Mlüh üngka khyang avan mkawt maa ngcun lawki he.
And the whole city was gathered together about the door;
34 Jesuh naw natnak ahmäi hmäia phäha am phetki he jah m’yai be lü khawyai he a jah ksät. Khawyai he naw ani cun ami ksinga phäha ani naw ä a jah ngthuheisak.
and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.
35 Ngawi lam khaw am a thaih phat üng, Jesuh tho law lü im ceh ta lü, anghinaka hmüna cit lü, va ktaiyüki.
And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Cunsepi Sihmon la a püi he cun Jesuh sui khai hea citki he.
And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him;
37 Acunüng, ami hmuh law üng, “Khyang avan naw ning suihüki he ni,” ami ti.
and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee.
38 Cunsepi, Jesuh naw, “Ahina pipei ngnam hea pi, ngthu ka pyen khaia mi cit khai, acun vaia ni kei ka law,” a ti.
And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth.
39 Acukba, Jesuh cun Kalile khaw avan üng cit hü lü, Sinakok hea ngthu pyen hü lü, khawyai he pi jah ksätki.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Mnehkse mnehki khyang mat Jesuha veia law lü, a mkhuk ngdäng lü, “Na hlüei üng ta, na na ngcimcaihsak theiki ni,” ti lü, a nghuinak.
And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Jesuh naw m'yeneinak am a kut sängki naw hnet lü, “Ä, hlüei veng, ngcima,” a ti.
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
42 Acukba a pyen la angxita mnehkse cun khyük se, ani cun ngcimcai law beki.
And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Acunüng Jesuh naw ksükki naw a tüih be.
And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away;
44 Acukba a pyen käna, “U am icapi ä na mtheh vai, cit lü, ktaiyü am na va ngtengei kyusak vai, acunüng Mosi naw a jah mtheha kba, na ngcimcainak ami msingnak vaia ngkengnak va pawha,” ti lü a tüih be.
and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 Cunsepi, acuna khyang naw cit lü acuna mawng cun avan üng va sang hü se, Jesuh angdanga mlüh k’uma am lut thei lü anghinaka awmki. Acuia, khyang pung akce kce üngka he naw ami ceh si.
But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.
