Makuh 10
1 Acunüng Jesuh Judah khaw da cit lü Jordan mliktui khe paki. Khyang he a veia ngcun law be u se Jesuh naw a ti khawia kba a jah mthei be.
On leaving that place, Jesus went into the district of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered about him again; and again, as usual, he began teaching them.
2 Pharise avang naw law u lü a ngthu ami man vaia phäha, “Khyang naw a khyu a yawk vai hin mi thum üng nglawiki aw?” tia ami kthäh.
Presently some Pharisees came up and, to test him, asked, ‘Has a husband the right to divorce his wife?’
3 Jesuh naw, “Mosi naw ia thum ni a ning jah pet?” ti lü ngthähnak am a jah msang be.
‘What direction did Moses give you?’ replied Jesus.
4 Amimi naw, “Mosi naw ngtainaka kca yu u lü, khyu cun mtai vaia a ti ni,” tia ami msang.
‘Moses,’ they said, ‘permitted a man to draw up in writing a notice of separation and divorce his wife.’
5 Jesuh naw, “Ning jah mthei vaia nami mlung nghlang se, Mosi naw acunkba thum a ning jah yuk pet ni.
‘It was owing to the hardness of your hearts,’ said Jesus, ‘that Moses gave you this direction;
6 Cunsepi, cangcim naw a pyena kba, ‘mhmünmcengnak atünei üng Mhnam naw nghnumi la kpami a jah mhmün’ tia kyaki.
but, at the beginning of the Creation, “God made them male and female.”
7 ‘Acunakyase kpami naw a nu la a pa jah yawk lü, a khyua veia ngdawnkhai,
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother,
8 acunüng nghngih cun mata kya law khai.’ Acunüng ni nghngiha am kya ti lü mata kya law khai.
and the man and his wife will become one;” so that they are no longer two, but one.
9 Acunakyase Mhnam naw atänga a jah mdawn päng khyang naw ä jah mtai se,” a ti.
What God himself, then, has yoked together no one must separate.’
10 Ima ami ceh be käna axüisaw he naw acuna mawng bä cun ami kthäh be tü.
When they were indoors, the disciples asked him again about this,
11 Jesuh naw, “Upi a khyu yawk lü akce khyu na beki cun a khyu katnaki ni.
and he said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery against his wife;
12 Acun kba nghnumi pi a cei yawk lü akce cei na beki cun a cei katnaki ni,” a ti.
and, if the woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she is guilty of adultery.’
13 Avang naw hnasen he, Jesuh naw ami khana a kut a mtaih vaia a veia jah lawpüi u se, axüisaw he naw lawpüiki he ami jah kdunak.
Some of the people were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who had brought them.
14 Jesuh naw ksing lü thüiki naw, “Hnasen he ka veia law u se, ä jah mah ua, Pamhnama khaw cun amimia mäiha phäha kyaki ni.
When, however, Jesus saw this, he was indignant. ‘Let the little children come to me,’ he said, ‘do not hinder them; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
15 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, upi Pamhnama khaw hina hnasen naw a dokhameia kba am dokhameiki cun acuia am lut khai,” a ti.
I tell you, unless a person receives the kingdom of God like a child, they will not enter it at all.’
16 Acunüng Jesuh naw hnasen he a ban am jah jäk lü, ami khana a kut mtaih lü, josenak am jah kbeki.
Then he embraced the children, and, placing his hands on them, gave them his blessing.
17 Jesuh lam üng a ceh k’um üng khyang mat a veia dawng law lü, a ma ngdäng lü, “Saja kdaw aw, anglät xünnak ka yahnak thei vaia i ka pawh khai?” ti lü a kthäh. (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was resuming his journey, a man came running up to him, and threw himself on his knees before him. ‘Good teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesuh naw, “Ivai saja kdaw tia, na na khüki ni? Mhnama thea u mat pi am daw naw.
‘Why do you call me good?’ answered Jesus. ‘No one is good but God.
19 ‘Khyanga khyu ä na katnak vai; khyang ä na hnim vai; ä na m'yuk vai; ä na hleihlak vai; khyanga ka am hman müi se ä na bi vai; na nu la na pa na jah mhlünmtai vai’ tia ngthupet he cun na jah ksingki ni,” a ti.
You know the commandments – “Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not say what is false about others. Do not cheat. Honour your father and your mother.”’
20 Acuna khyang naw, “Saja aw, ahin he avan cun ka nghmawca üng tün lü, ka jah läk päng ni,” ti se,
‘Teacher,’ he replied, ‘I have observed all these from my childhood.’
21 Jesuh naw jawng'engnaka mlungmthin am teng lü, “Mat kpawih na veki. Cit lü na taka khawhthem avan jawi lü sim'yaki he am jah pea, khankhawa bawimangnak na yah khai ni; acunüng law lü na läk lawa,” a ti.
Jesus looked at the man, and his heart went out to him, and he said, ‘There is still one thing wanting in you; go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
22 Acun bawimangpa naw a ngjak la aktäa khawhthem danakia kyase, a hmai se lü thuiseinak am citki.
But the man’s face clouded at these words, and he went away distressed, for he had great possessions.
23 Acunüng Jesuh naw mdei hü lü axüisaw he üng, “Khawhthem danaki he, Pamhnama khaw ami luh vai aktäa khak ve,” a ti.
Then Jesus looked round, and said to his disciples, ‘How hard it will be for people of wealth to enter the kingdom of God!’
24 Acuna ngthua phäha axüisaw he cun aktäa cäiki he. Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Ka ca he aw, Pamhnama khaw luh vai aktäa khak ve!
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, ‘My children, how hard a thing it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Bawimangki, Pamhnama khaw a luha kdama ta, kulauk mpyüma nghnga üng a luh vai jäi bawk ve,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
It is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.’
26 Acuna axüisaw he aksehlena cäi law u lü, amimät la amimät, “Am ani üng u küikyana kya thei khai aw?” tia ngthäh kyuki he.
‘Then who can be saved?’ they exclaimed in the greatest astonishment.
27 Jesuh naw jah teng lü, “Khyanga phäha hin hin khaki ni, Cunsepi Mhnama phäha khaki i am ve naw,” a ti.
Jesus looked at them, and answered, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for everything is possible with God.’
28 Acunüng Pita naw msang lü, “Tenga, avan jah yawk hüt u lü kami ning läk law hin,” a ti.
‘But we,’ began Peter, ‘we left everything and have followed you.’
29 Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, kei la thangkdaw phäha a im, a bena he la, a nu pa, a ca he, a khawloe jah yawkki naw,
‘I tell you,’ said Jesus, ‘there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, for my sake and for the good news,
31 Cunsepi, atuh khawjah maki he hnu u lü, hnuki he ma law khai he,” a ti.
But many who are first now will then be last, and the last will be first.’
32 Jesuh la axüisaw he Jerusalem cehnaka lam üng awmki he. Jesuh cun axüsaw hea hmaia ma lü cit se kcäväki he. A hnu läk law hngaki he kyü lawki he. Jesuh naw xaleinghngih he akcea jah khü lü a khana pha law khai jah mthehki naw,
They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking in front of them. The disciples were filled with awe, while those who were following behind were overwhelmed with fear. Gathering the Twelve round him once more, Jesus began to tell them what was about to happen to him.
33 “Ngai u, Jerusalema mi jeng cit khai he, acuia Khyanga Capa cun ktaiyü ktung he la thum jah mtheiki hea veia cenga kya khai. Amimi naw thi khaia mkatei u lü khyangmjükce he üng msum khai he.
‘Listen!’ he said. ‘We are going up to Jerusalem; and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, and they will condemn him to death, and they will give him up to the Gentiles,
34 Acun he naw yaihei khai he, msawh khai he, kpai khai he, hnim khai he; Cunsepi amhmüp kthum üng tho law be khai,” a ti.
who will mock him, spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again.’
35 Acunüng Zebedea capa xawi Jakuk la Johan Jesuha veia law ni lü, “Saja aw, kani phäha na jah pawh pet vai kani ngjak hlü iyaw awmki,” ani ti.
James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus, and said, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.’
36 Jesuh naw jah kthäh lü, “Ini ka ning jah pawh pet vai na ni ngjak hlü?” a ti.
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ he asked.
37 Anini naw, “Na hlüngtainaka khawa, na bawingawhnak üng na ngawh law üng, mat na kpat da mat na k'eng da na jah ngawhsak vai kani ngjahlüki,” ani ti.
‘Grant us this,’ they answered, ‘to sit, one on your right, and the other on your left, when you come in glory.’
38 Jesuh naw, “Nani kthäh am ksingei ve niki. Ka awk vaia khuikhanaka khawt nani aw khawh khai aw? Baptican ka khan vaia kba pi nani khan khawh khai aw?” ti se,
‘You do not know what you are asking,’ Jesus said to them. ‘Can you drink the cup that I am to drink? Or receive the baptism that I am to receive?’
39 anini naw, “Kani khyaih khai ni” ani ti. Jesuh naw, “Ka awk vaia khawt nani aw thei kcang taw khai, Baptican ka khan vaia kba pi nani khan thei kcang taw khai;
‘Yes,’ they answered, ‘we can.’ ‘You will indeed drink the cup that I am to drink,’ Jesus said, ‘and receive the baptism that I am to receive,
40 Cunsepi ka kpat lama ngaw khai ja ka k'eng lama ngaw khai cun keia xü vaia am kya naw. Acun cun ani naw a jah pyan peta khyang hea phäha acuna hmün he jah pe khai cun Mhnama kyaki,” a ti.
but as to a seat at my right or at my left – that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.’
41 Akce xa he naw ngja law u lü Jakuk la Johana khana aktäa thüiki he.
On hearing of this, the ten others were at first very indignant about James and John.
42 Acunakyase Jesuh naw a veia jah khü lü, “Khyangmjükce hea khana mkhawnga ami jah mcawn he cun ana atäa taki he ti nami ksingki.
But Jesus called the ten to him, and said, ‘Those who are regarded as ruling among the Gentiles lord it over them, as you know, and their great men oppress them.
43 Cunsepi acunkba nangmi üng ä kya se. Nangmi üng a kyäp säih vai ngjahlüki cun nami m'ya a kya se.
But among you it is not so. No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
44 Nangmi üng a ma säih vai ngjahlüki cun avana m'yaa kyase.
and whoever wants to take the first place among you must be the servant of all;
45 Khyanga Capa cun khyanga khüih vaia am law lü; khyang jah khüih lü khawjah thawnnak vaia a xünnak pe khaia ni a law ve,” a ti.
for even the Son of Man came, not be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’
46 Jerikho mlüha law u se, Jerikho üngka naw axüisaw he la khyang khawjah am ami ceh be üng, kthäheiki amikmü, Timea capa Batihme cun lam peia a na ngawki.
They came to Jericho. When Jesus was going out of the town with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.
47 Nazaret Jesuh ni ti a ngjak la, “Jesuh! Davita Capa! na m'yeneia,” ti lü ngpyangki.
Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to call out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me.’
48 Khyang khawjah naw kse na u lü ä khihkheh khaia mtheh u se pi, “Davita Capa, na m'yeneia!” ti lü ngpyang law däm dämki.
Many of the people kept telling him to be quiet; but the man continued to call out all the louder, ‘Son of David, take pity on me.’
49 Acunüng Jesuh naw ngdüi lü, “Khü ua,” ti se, khyang he naw amikmü khü u lü, “ä cäi lü, ngdüi lawa, ning khü ve,” ami ti.
Then Jesus stopped. ‘Call him,’ he said. So they called the blind man. ‘Have courage!’ they exclaimed. ‘Get up; he is calling you.’
50 Acunja amikmü cun a jih ngvaih tawnin lü, ngtawp lü, Jesuha veia lawki.
The man threw off his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesuh naw, “Na phäha ini ka ning pawh pet vai na ngjak hlü?” ti se amikmü naw, “Saja aw, ka hmuh be vai ngaih veng,” a ti.
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ said Jesus, addressing him. ‘Rabboni,’ the blind man answered, ‘I want to recover my sight.’
52 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Cita, na jumnak naw ning m’yai be ve,” ti se. Acunja angxita hmu law be lü lama Jesuha hnu läki.
‘You may go,’ Jesus said, ‘Your faith has delivered you.’ Immediately he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
