Mahte 11
1 Axüisawe xaleinghngih a jah mtheh käna, mlüh kce hea ngthu pyen hü khaia Jesuh citki.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Baptican Johan thawngim üngka naw Jesuha pawhmsahe a jah ngjak üng hnukläk nghngih Khritawa veia a jah tüih.
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 Acun xawi naw Jesuh veia, “Johan naw law khai a pyen cen nang mä? Am ani üng akce kami na äp khai aw” ti lü ani kthäh.
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nghlat be ni lü nani hmuh ja nani ngjake naküt Johan üng va mtheh be nia” a ti.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 “Amikmüe naw hmuh be u lü, akxoe pi cit be thei ve u, mnehkse mnehkie daw be ve u, a nghnga kpange naw ngja be ve u, akthihe tho law be u lü, thangkdaw pi msih mpyaki he üng jah mtheh päng ve u.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Keia phäha a mlung am uplatsaki ta a josenki ni” ti lü a pyen.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 Johana axüisaw he ami ceh be üng Jesuh naw Johana mawng khyangpäe üng jah mtheh lü, “Johana veia khawkhyawng khawa nami ceh üng, i hmu khaia ni nami ceh? Khawkhi naw a ksün khuhnah bükteng khaia mä nami ceh?
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 “I bükteng khaia ja nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisaki bükteng khaia mä nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisakie cun Sangpuxangea ima ni ami ve khawi.
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9 “Na mtheh ua, I teng khaia ni nami ceh? Sahma mä? Ä, ning jah mtheh veng, sahmaa pi kyäp bawki ve ve.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 “Ahina mawng ni cangcim üng ng'yu lü, “Pamhnam naw, na maa ka ngsä na lam pyang khai ka tüih law khai.
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, nghngicim naküt üng Baptican Johana kthaka daw bawki u am ve. Acunüngpi khankhawa veki akdik säih cun Johana kthaka daw bawki ni.
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Baptican Johana a ngthu pyen üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa khankhaw naw tuknak khameiki, ngtuatkia khyang ksee naw khaw ami yah vaia kthanakie.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Pamhnama sahma he naküt ja Mosia thume naw Johana a ve vei cäpa Pamhnama Khawa mawng cun pyenkie.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Ami pyen nami jum hlü üng, Johan cun law khaia ami na pyen khawi Elijaha kyaki.
And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come.
15 A nghnga veki naw ngja se.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Acunsepi atuh khyang he hin i am ni ka jah mtumtäng kawm? Ahin he cun hnasen lumeikie ami püi khü u lü,
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 Pülün ning jah tum pe ngü se am nami nglamkie, yawk ng’äi mcuk ngü sepi am mbawikyap uki.
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 Johan a law üng am ei aw se, “Khyang naküt naw khawyaia venak” ami ti.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 Khyanga Capa law lü ei aw se khyang naküt naw, “Teng ua, meng lü capyittui aw ve, akhawn kawke ja khyangkaea püi hin” ami ti. “Acunüng pi ksinghmatnak cun a bilawh üng ngsingki” ti lü a jah mtheh.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Acunüng Jesuh naw müncanksee aktunga a pawhnaka mlühe cun am ami ngjuta phäha a jah ksenak.
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 “Korazin mlüh aw na jo se ve, Bethsaida mlüh aw na jo se ve. Isetiüng ta, nangni üng mdana mäiha müncanksee hin Turah ja Sidon mlüha mdang vai sü ta, ahlana va kpyawnkse ngbung u lü, mput awt u lü ngjut päng khaie sü.
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng Turah ja Sidon mlüh xawi cun nangnia kthaka Pamhnam naw jah mpyenei khai.
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 Nang Kapenawm mlüh pi, namät naw namät khankhaw cäpa na mhlünmtaiei hlüki aw? Mulaia ning khyakin vai. Nang üng mdana mäiha Sodom mlüh üng müncanksee jah mdan vai sü üng ta tuh vei cäpa ve ham khai sü. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ka ning jah mthehki, “Ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng nanga kthaka Sodom mlüh üng Pamhnama mpyeneinak däm khai,” a ti.
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 Jesuh naw pyen lü, “Ka pa, khawmdek ja khankhawa Bawipa aw! Khyang ktheme üng jah thup lü a mlung mhnemki hnasena mäihe üng na jah mhnüha phäh na ngming ka mküiki.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Ä, ka pa aw, ahin cun na ngjak hlüa kyaki ni.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 Ka pa naw avan a na pet päng. U naw a capa am ksing, ka pa däk naw ni a ksing. Ka pa pi u naw am ksing, a capa däk naw ni a ksing. Acun ja a capa naw a mtheh däk naw ni a ksing.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 A phüih yüh lü bawngbaiki naküt ka veia law ua, ka ning jah hüieisak khai.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Ka kawhcung kawt ua. Ngmüimkhya lama ka mlungmthin hniphnawi lü nemkia kyase, ka veia ngtheingthang law ua. Acunüng, nami ngmüimkhyaa hüieinak nami yah khai.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 “Isetiüng ta, ka ning jah pet vaia kawhcung cun jäi lü, nami khana ka mtaih vaia phüih pi hangki ni” a ti.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
