1 Acunüng amät kung naw ami veia, “Ka ning jah mthehki, hin üng ngdüiki he avang cun Pamhnama khaw hlüngtainak am pha law se, am hmu pha u lü am thi khai he awmki he,” a ti.
He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of you who are standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
2 Amhmüp khyuk käna Jesuh naw, Pita, Jakuk la Johan jah khü lü angxinak khawmcung, a hlüngnaka a jah cehpüi. Acunüng ami maa Jesuh a hmai halangei lawki.
Six days later, Jesus took Peter and James and John with him up a high mountain, alone by themselves. Then he was transfigured before them.
3 A suisak he cun khawmdek khana suisak msawpkie u naw pi acunkba bawk khaia am ami msawp thei vaia bawk lawki.
His garments became radiantly brilliant, extremely white, whiter than any bleacher on earth could bleach them.
4 Acunüng Elijah la Mosi cun Jesuh am ngthuhei ni se axüisaw kthum he naw ami jah hmuh.
Then Elijah with Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Pita naw, “Saja aw, hia mi ve hin daw ve! na phäha mat, Mosia phäha mat, Elijaha phäha mat, sam kthum pha va üng,” a ti.
Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 Ami van kyü ngenki hea kyase, Pita naw i a ti vai am ksingei.
(For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.)
7 Acunüng khawngmei lawki naw a jah ksungin law; kthaih ngmei üngka naw, “Hin hin ka jawng'engnaka ka Capaa kyaki ni, a ngthu ngai ua,” tia ngthang lawki.
A cloud came and overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
8 Acun käna ami pipei ami teng üng i pi am hmu u lü Jesuh däng ami veia ve se ami hmuh.
Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them, but only Jesus.
9 Mcung üngka naw ami kyum law be üng Jesuh naw, “Khyanga Capa thihnak üngka naw am a thawh law be phata küt üng nami hmuhtheh he u pi ä jah mtheh ua” ti lü a jah ksük.
As they were coming down the mountain, he commanded them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 A mtheh ngjaki he, acunüngpi, “Thihnak üngka naw thawh be tia suilam hin i ni?” tia amimät ngthäh kyuki he.
So they kept the matter to themselves, but they discussed among themselves what “rising from the dead” could mean.
11 Axüisaw he naw Jesuh üng, “Ise thum jah mtheiki he naw Elijah law ma khai ami ti ni?” tia ami kthäh.
They asked him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Jesuh naw, “Elijah cun law ma kung lü avan jah pyangtham law be khai. Ise cangcim naw Khyanga Capa mah u se aktäa khuikha khai a ti ni?
He said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?
13 Ka ning jah mthehki, Elijah pi law päng se a mawngma a ng’yuka kba amimäta ngaih ngaiha ami pawh,” a ti.
But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they did whatever they wanted to him, just as scripture says about him.”
14 Jesuh axüisaw he a veia a law üng khyang he khawjah naw jah ngbum si u lü, thum jah mtheiki he naw jah mtaipüi u se a jah hmuh.
When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes were arguing with them.
15 Acunüng Jesuh ami hmuh la khyang ami van naw aktäa cäi law u lü a veia dawngkie naw ami hnukset law.
As soon as they saw Jesus, the whole crowd was amazed and as they ran up to him they greeted him.
16 Jesuh naw a xüisaw he üng, “Acane am i nami ngcuhki ni?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
He asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 Khyang mat ami ksung üngka naw, “Saja aw, ka capa khawyai naw ve na se am ngthuheiki na veia ka lawpüi.
Someone in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18 A man law naküt üng mdek üng a kyuksak; acunüng a mcimvawne jah mhlawn lü, a ha jah kyet lü, cai law lü, ve khawiki; na xüisaw he am ami ksät vaia ka jah mtheh amimi naw pi am ksät khawh ve u,” ti lü a pyen.
It seizes him and it throws him down and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and he becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out of him, but they could not.”
19 Jesuh naw, “Aw, jumeinak am takia khyang he, ivei nami hlawnga ka awm khai aw? Ivei nami hlawnga ka ve khai ni? Ka veia hnasen cun lawpüi ua,” a ti.
He answered them, “Unbelieving generation, how long will I have to stay with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
20 Jesuha veia ami lawpüi. Khawyai naw Jesuh a hmuh la, hnasen cun aknuia pawh lü mdek vawih na se ngtat hü lü a mcimvawn lawng lawki.
They brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion. The boy fell on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
21 Jesuh naw a pa üng, “Ahinkba a awmnak ivei law pängki ni?” ti lü kthäh se a pa naw, “Angmawca üng a tünei ni,
Jesus asked his father, “How long has he been like this?” The father said, “Since childhood.
22 hnim hü lü khawvei mei üng, tui üng a buhtawn khawi; Cunsepi na mdaw be khawh üng ta jah m’yenei lü jah kpüia,” ti lü a nghuinak.
It has often thrown him into the fire or into the waters and tried to destroy him. If you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesuh naw “Ä” ti lü, “Na jumki aw? Jumkia phäha avan kya theiki ni,” a ti.
Jesus said to him, “'If you are able'? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Hnasena pa naw ngpyang lü, “Jum veng, Cunsepi ka jumnak am khäk ve; ka jum lawnak däm vaia na kpüia,” a ti.
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 Jesuh naw khyang he naw jah k’et lawki he ti a jah ksing üng khawyai üng, “Pang lü, angkia ngmüimkhya, hina hnasen üngka naw lut law lü, a veia ä lut be tia,” ti lü a ksenak.
When Jesus saw the crowd running to them, he rebuked the unclean spirit and said, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter into him again.”
26 Acunüng khawyai cun ngpyang lü, hnasen kthüng lü, lut lawki. Hnasen cun akthia mäiha ve law se khyang naküt naw, “Thi ve,” ami ti.
It cried out and convulsed the boy greatly and then came out. The boy looked like one who was dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 Jesuh naw hnasen cun a kut üng kpang lü mtho se, ngdüi lawki.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and the boy stood up.
28 Acun käna Jesuh im k’uma a luh law üng axüisaw he naw, “Ise keimi naw am kami ksät thei ni?” tia, ami kthäh.
When Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 Jesuh naw, “Hina mäih cun ktaiyünaka thea ta i am ksät thei vaia am kya naw,” a ti.
He said to them, “This kind cannot be cast out except by prayer.”
30 Jesuh la axüisaw he ngnam ceh ta u lü Kalile da citki he. Jesuh naw a awmnak u naw pi a ksing vai am a ngaih.
They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know where they were,
31 Isetiakyaüng, axüisaw he üng, “Khyanga Capa cun khyang he üng ap khai he, hnima kya khai, acun käna amhmüp kthum üng tho law be khai,” ti lü a jah mtheia phäha kyaki.
for he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death. When he has been put to death, after three days he will rise again.”
32 Cunsepi axüisaw he naw a jah mtheimthangnak am ksing u, ami kthäh vaia pi kyüh u lü, am kthäh u.
But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Kapenawma law u lü, im k’uma ami ve k’um üng, Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Lam cäpa i nami mtaiki?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34 Lam cäpa amimät he üng u kyäp säih khai tia mtaiki hea kyase ami van naw am ami msang.
But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35 Acunüng Jesuh naw a ngawhnak üng xaleinghngih he jah khü lü, “Upi a ma säih vai ngjahlüki cun hnu säih lü, avana m'yaa kya se,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 Jesuh naw hnasenca mat khü lü ami ksung üng a ngdüihsak. Acunüng a kut am kpawm lü,
He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,
37 “Upi hina hnasenca he üngka mat ka ngming üng doeiki cun kei na dokia kyaki; acunüng upi kei na doki cun, kei däng na dokia am kya lü kei na tüih lawkia ka Pa pi dokia kyaki ni,” a ti.
“Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who sent me.”
38 Johan naw, “Saja aw, khyang mat mi hlawnga am ngkhap hü hngaki naw na ngming am khawyai he jah ksät se kami hmuh, mi hlawnga am ngkhap hü hngakia kyase a bilawh kami mkhye,” a ti.
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Jesuh naw, “Ä mkhye pe ua, ka ngming am müncankse vai pawhmsahki naw acun käna akjäiha am na pyetse khai ni.
But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about me.
40 Mimi am jah hnengki cun mimi da awmkia kyaki ni.
Whoever is not against us is for us.
41 Ka ning jah mthehki, upi ka khyanga nami kyaa phäha awk vai tui a khawtca ning jah peki cun a ngkhyengnak vai am lap khai ni.
Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
42 “Upi hnasena kba kei na jumki kyukngtängsaki cun a nghngü üng ksumnu khawp u lü mliktui üng tawnin üng daw bawk khai ni.
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be thrown into the sea.
43 Acunakyase na kut naw a ning katkawngsaki üng khyüngina! Kut nghngih küm se, am dim theikia mulaia na ceha kdama ta, kut am küm se xünnaka pha hin na phäha daw bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands and to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067)
45 Na khaw naw a ning katkawngsak üng xüngina! Khaw nghngih küm se, mei am dim theikia mulaia na ceha kdama ta, khaw am küm se xünnaka pha hin na phäha daw bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have your two feet and be thrown into hell. (Geenna g1067)
47 Na mik naw a ning katkawngsak üng kawihina! Na mik küm se mulaia na ceha kdama ta, mik mat däng am Pamhnama khaw na luh hin daw bawki ni. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 Acuia jah eikia mkyüt am thi lü jah uikia mei pi am dim thei.
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.
49 Ngkengnaka sa mci am caihsaka kba khyang avan mei am caisak vai.
For everyone will be salted with fire.
50 Mci hin dawki ni; Cunsepi a tuinak a khyüh üng ihawkba nami tuisak be khai ni? Mcia kba tuikia ngkhawteinak ta u lü, mat la mat dim’yenak am awm ua,” a ti.
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
