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, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom 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.
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 A suisak he cun khawmdek khana suisak msawpkie u naw pi acunkba bawk khaia am ami msawp thei vaia bawk lawki.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Acunüng Elijah la Mosi cun Jesuh am ngthuhei ni se axüisaw kthum he naw ami jah hmuh.
Elijah and 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 Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: 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 didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
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, overshadowing them, and 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 looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
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 from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after 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.
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
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, saying, “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 indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should 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 tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written 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.
Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Acunüng Jesuh ami hmuh la khyang ami van naw aktäa cäi law u lü a veia dawngkie naw ami hnukset law.
Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
16 Jesuh naw a xüisaw he üng, “Acane am i nami ngcuhki ni?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
17 Khyang mat ami ksung üngka naw, “Saja aw, ka capa khawyai naw ve na se am ngthuheiki na veia ka lawpüi.
One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
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.
and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
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 him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall 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 him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming 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,
He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From 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.
Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion 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 can believe, all things are possible to him 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 with tears, “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 that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter 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.
After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them 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 raised him up; and he arose.
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 he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we 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 can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
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 didn’t want anyone to know it,
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, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day 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 didn’t understand the saying, and 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.
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves 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 disputed with one 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.
He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall 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 set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he 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 one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him 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 who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t 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, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 Mimi am jah hnengki cun mimi da awmkia kyaki ni.
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
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.
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way 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 will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
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, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
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, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
48 Acuia jah eikia mkyüt am thi lü jah uikia mei pi am dim thei.
‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 Ngkengnaka sa mci am caihsaka kba khyang avan mei am caisak vai.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
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, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
