Makuh 12
1 Acunüng Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak am ami veia ngthu pyen lü, “Khyang mat naw capyit nglin lü, ngvawng lü, capyittui msawihnak vai khui co lü, ngängnak vaia im sa lü, lokbi he üng jah khah lü, a im ceh ta lü kdunglawngki.
And he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set up a hedge, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.
2 Capyit kbih kcün üng capyit ngvawng ngängki hea veia a m'ya mat capyitkthei a yah vai la khaia a tüih.
And at the season he sent forth a bondman to the farmers, so that he might receive by the farmers from the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Capyit ngängki he naw m'ya cun man u lü kpaiki he naw a jünga ami tüih be.
And having seized him, they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Acunüng capyit ngvawng mah naw a m'ya akce ami veia a tüih be; acun pi a lu kpai u lü, am hmuhtheh phyakia pawh u lü, ami tüih be.
And again he sent another bondman to them. And that man, having stoned, they wounded in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Acunüng ngvawng mah naw akce ami veia tüih be tü se, ani cun hnim u lü, acunkba bäa akce he pi avang jah kpai u lü, avang ami jah hnim.
And again he sent another, and that man they killed, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 A tüih vai mat däng awmki cun amäta jawngnak leng lenga a capa mat dänga kyaki. Anghnua a capa cun ngvawng kngängea veia a tüih. ‘Hina ka capa ta leisawng khai hea ngsingki ni’ a ti.
Therefore, still having his one beloved son, he also sent him to them, last, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.
7 Cunsepi capyit ngvawng ngängki he naw, ‘Hin hin ngvawng maha capa va ni kbak. Law ua, mi hnim u lü, a khawh mi ka na vai’ tia pyen u lü,
But those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 acunkba manki he naw hnim u lü capyit ngvawng kpunga ami tawnin.
And having taken him, they killed him, and cast him outside of the vineyard.
9 Acunüng capyit ngvawng mah naw i ti law khai? Ngvawng mah law lü ngvawng ngängki he jah hnim lü capyit ngvawng cun akce he üng jah pe khai.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 ‘Sawngsaki he naw ami yawka lung cun, avana kthaka kyäp law be säihki ni.
And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.
11 Ahin cun Bawipa pawha kyaki; ihlawka mi ma kyühkse vaia kyaki ni’ ti hin cangcim üng am nami kheh khawiki aw?” a ti.
This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
12 Acunüng Judah mkhawng he naw amimi a jah pyennaka msuimcäpnak ni ti ksing u lü man khai hea ami bü. Cunsepi khyang he jah kyüh u lü yawk u lü ami cehtak.
And they sought to seize him. And they feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke the parable against them. And having left him, they went away.
13 Pharise avang he la Heroda khyang üngka he ngthähnak am Jesuh man khai hea Jesuha veia ami jah tüih.
And they send some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, so that they might catch him in talk.
14 A veia law u lü, “Saja aw, nang cun u pi am na cäinaki, khyang naw hawkba a ning ngaih pi am cäi na lü, khyanga hmai am teng lü, nghnicima phäha Pamhnama ngthungtak ngjak hlü na jah mtheiki ti kami ksingki. Romah Sangpuxang üng ngcawn pet vai hin mi thum üng nglawiki aw? Pet vai aw am pet vai aw?” jah mtheha ami ti.
And when they came, they say to him, Teacher, we have seen that thou are true, and it is not a care to thee about any man, for thou look not to a personage of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar or not?
15 Jesuh naw ami hleihlaknak jah ksing lü, “Ivaia nami na mhnüteiki he ni? Denarih ngui na pe law ua, teng vang,” a ti.
Should we give, or should we not give? But Jesus, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do ye test me? Bring me a denarius, so that I may see it.
16 Denarih ngui mat a veia lawpüi u se Jesuh naw, “Hin hin ua müihmai la ua ngming ni?” ti se amimi naw, “Empero” ami ti.
And they brought it. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 Acunüng Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Emperoa ka Empero üng pe u lü, Mhnama ka Mhnam üng pe ua,” ti se, Ami van cäi lawki he.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they marveled at him.
18 Acunüng Saduke he avang thihnak üngka naw thawhnak be am ve tikie Jesuha veia law u lü,
And Sadducees come to him, who say there is no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
19 “Saja aw, Mosi naw mi phäha thum a yuknak üng, ‘Khyang naw am ca lü a khyu a thih tak üng a na naw a ktaia cangsawn am düt khaia, acuna hmeinu cun a khäm be vai a ti.’
Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother dies, and leaves behind a wife, and leaves no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.
20 Bena khyüh awmki he; axüngvai he säih khyumahki am ca mah lü thiki.
There were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21 Acunüng anghngihnak naw nghnumi a khäm be ani pi am ca lü thiki. Akthumnak naw acunkba bäa khämki naw am ca lü a thihtak.
And the second took her, and died, neither did he leave seed behind, and the third likewise.
22 Acukba ami van naw ami khäm be; ami khyüh am ca u lü thiki he. Anghnua nghnumi pi thiki.
And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 Thikie thawhnak bea mhmüp üng ami thawh law be üng nghnumi cun ua khyua kya khai ni, ami khyüh naw ami khyunaka kyaki,” ami ti.
In the resurrection when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as wife.
24 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Ihlawka nami hmaki he! Ise am nami ksing ni tia kyaküng, Mhnama johit la cangcim am nami ksinga phäha kyaki.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Are ye not led astray because of this: not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God?
25 Akthi he ami thawh law be üng khankhawngsä hea kba law khai he, ngkhyunglanak am ve be ti khai.
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents in the heavens.
26 Thihnak üngka naw thawh bea mawnglam: Pamhnam naw Mosi üng, ‘Kei Abrahama Mhnam, Isaka Mhnam, Jakopa Mhnama ka kyaki’ tia a mtheh cen, Mosia cauk üng kpyap meiha a däinaka manwg ng’yuki am nami khe khawiki he aw?
But about the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 Mhnam cun akthi hea Mhnama am kya, akxüng hea Mhnama kyaki. Aktäa am ngtäikia ngai kyu ve uki,” a ti.
He is not the God of the dead, but God of the living. Ye therefore are much misled.
28 Ami ngcuhnak ngjaki thum jah mtheiki mat awmki. Jesuh naw Saduke he akdawa jah msangki ti hmu lü ngthäh khaia a veia lawki naw, “Ia ngthupet ni aktung säih?” tia a kthäh law.
And one of the scholars having come, having heard them disputing, knowing that he had answered them well, he questioned him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 Jesuh naw msang lü, “Ngthupet he üngka aktung säih cun, ‘Aw Isarel ngaia! Bawipa mi Pamhnam mat däng ni mi Bawipaakya ve.
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, thou Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,
30 Bawipa na Pamhnam cun na mlungmthin, na xünnak, na ksingnak la na kyannak avan am na jawngnak vai’ tia kyaki.
and thou shall love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
31 Anghngihnak cun: ‘Na impeiloceng namät na jawngnaka kba na jawngnak vai’ tia kyaki. Ahina thea kyäp bawkia ngthupet akce i am ve ti,” a ti.
And this second is similar, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 Acunüng thum jah mtheiki naw, “Saja aw, pyen thei veki! na kcang pyen veki, Bawipa däng ni Mhnama akya ve, Ania thea Mhnam akce am ve.
And the scholar said to him, Well, teacher. Thou spoke in truth that he is one, and there is no other but he.
33 Nghngicim naw a mlungmthin, a ksingnak la a kyannak avan am Mhnam a jawngnak vaia kyaki; acunüng a impeiloceng, amät a jawngnaka kba a jawngnak vai. Xüngkseie la akce he am Mhnama veia ngkengnak pawha kthaka a mtheh ngjak hin daw bawki ni,” ti lü a pyen.
And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 Thum jah mtheiki naw mcei ye lü msang beki ti Jesuh naw ksing lü, “Nang naw Pamhnama khaw am thuk na veki,” a ti. Acun käna u naw i pi am kthäh dat u.
And when Jesus saw him, that he answered wisely, he said to him, Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to question him any more.
35 Jesuh naw temple k’uma a jah mthei k’um üng jah kthäh lü, “Mesijah cun Davita mjükphyüi ni tia thum jah mtheiki he naw ihawkba ami ti thei ni?
And having responded as he taught in the temple, Jesus said, How do the scholars say that the Christ is the son of David?
36 Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw pyensak se, Davit amät naw pi pyen lü: ‘Bawipa naw ka Bawipa veia: Na ye he na khawkunga ka jah tak law vei däa, ka kpat da ngawa’ a ti ni?
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The Lord says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I may place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
37 Davit amät ye naw, ‘Bawipa’; tia a khü hin ihawkba a mjükphyüia kya khai ni?” a ti. Acunüng khyang khawjah naw jekyai u lü ami ngaih.
David himself therefore calls him Lord, and in what way is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.
38 Acukba a jah mthei k’um üng Jesuh naw, “Thum jah mtheiki he jah cäiei na ua, suisak akkyu suisa u lü ami ngtaw hü vai jawngnaki he, jawituknaka khyang hea jah mhlünmtai vai ngaihki he.
And in his teaching he said to them, Look away from the scholars, those who desire to go about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
39 Sinakoka ngawhnak akdaw säih ja buh pawhnaka hmün akdaw säih ngjahlüki he.
and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
40 Hmeinu hea khawhthem ei aw u lü, khyang hleihlaknak vaia aksoa ktaiyüki he. Ahin he naw mkhuimkhanak khamei däm khai he,” a ti.
those who devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. These will receive greater condemnation.
41 Jesuh cun khawhthem ami petnaka peia ngaw lü, khyang he naw ihawkba khawhthem pung k’uma ami ktawk jah tengki. Aktäa bawimangki he naw ngui khawjah ktawki he.
And having sat down opposite the treasury, Jesus watched how the multitude cast money into the treasury, and many rich men cast in much.
42 Acunüng hmeinu m'yenkse mat naw law lü, tangka ajawca nghngih a ktawk law.
And one poor widow having come, she cast in two mites, which are a quadrans.
43 Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he atänga jah khü lü, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hina hmeinu m'yenkse naw pung üng akdäm bawk pe ve.
And having summoned his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.
44 Peki he ami van naw ami taka ngui kpawih üngka va peki he; Cunsepi hina hmeinu naw a m'yenksenak üngka a xünnak vaia a takca avan pe ve,” a ti.
For they all cast in from that which is abundant to them, but she from her need cast in all, as many things she had, her whole living.
