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 unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
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 to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of 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 they caught him, and 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 unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
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 him 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.
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence 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 husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 acunkba manki he naw hnim u lü capyit ngvawng kpunga ami tawnin.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out 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 shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto 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 which the builders rejected is become 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 was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous 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 lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13 Pharise avang he la Heroda khyang üngka he ngthähnak am Jesuh man khai hea Jesuha veia ami jah tüih.
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
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 were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, 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.
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, 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 saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’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 Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
18 Acunüng Saduke he avang thihnak üngka naw thawhnak be am ve tikie Jesuha veia law u lü,
Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked 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.’
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Bena khyüh awmki he; axüngvai he säih khyumahki am ca mah lü thiki.
Now there were seven brethren: 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 left he any seed: 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 had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
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 therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to 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 Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither 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 shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
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?
And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, 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 the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
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 scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked 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, O 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 shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy 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 the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none 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 scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none 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 with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour 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 that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
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 Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that 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 Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
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 therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people 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 he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 Sinakoka ngawhnak akdaw säih ja buh pawhnaka hmün akdaw säih ngjahlüki he.
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at 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.
Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
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 Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 Acunüng hmeinu m'yenkse mat naw law lü, tangka ajawca nghngih a ktawk law.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
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 he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast 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 all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
