Mahte 12
1 Jesuh sabbath mhnüp üng loma lama cit se, axüisaw he ami ei ngaih u lü lomaa cangvüi kpyat lü eikie.
At that time, Yeshua [Salvation] went on the Sabbath ·To cease· day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
2 Pharise he naw ami jah hmuh üng, Jesuh üng, “Tenga, sabbath mhnüp üng jeih vai sü, am pawh vai na xüisawe naw pawh ve u” ti lü ami pyen.
But the Pharisees [Separated], when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath ·To cease·.”
3 Jesuh naw, “Davit a ei ngaih lü a khyang he am i pawhkie ti cangcim üng am nami kheh khawiki aw?
But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David [Beloved] did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;
4 Pamhnama ima lut u lü Pamhnam üng peta muk, ktaiyü he däk naw va eia nglawiki. Amimia eia am nglawiki a khyang he am eikie.
how he entered in the house of MarYah [Master Yahweh], and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Am ani üng, ktaiyü he sabbath mhnüp üng khut ami pawh msawk üng pi mkhyekiea am jah ngaih, ti cangcim üng am nami khe khawiki aw?
Or have you not read in the Torah ·Teaching·, that on the Sabbath ·To cease· day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath ·To cease·, and are guiltless?
6 Acunsepi ka ning jah mthehki, ngpumima kthaka daw bawki hia ve ve,
But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
7 “Ngkengtaihnaka kdama mpyeneinak ngaih veng” ti nami ksinga ta ngsungpyunkie am nami jah mkatei khai sü.
But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire eleos ·merciful compassion in action·, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Isetiüng ta, “Khyanga capa cun sabbatha Bawi ni” a ti.
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath ·To cease·.”
9 Jesuh acun üngka naw cit lü, ami sinakoka lutki.
He departed there, and went into their synagogue.
10 Acuia akutxo a na veki. Ami mkatei vaia phäha, “Sabbath mhnüp üng mdawnak bea khut pawh nglawiki aw?” ti lü ami kthäh.
And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?” that they might accuse him.
11 Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üngka mata toca mat däk a tak sabbath mhnüp üng khuia k’uma kya se am na lo be khai aw, na hawihin khai aw.
He said to them, “What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath ·To cease· day, won’t he grab on to it, and lift it out?
12 To mata kthaka khyang mat sabbath mhnüp üng mdaw be vai cun daw bawki. Acunakyase, mi Thum üng pi sabbath mhnüp üng khyang mat kuei vai hin nglawiki ni” a ti.
Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath ·To cease· day.”
13 Acunkäna Jesuh naw akutxo üng, “Na kut sänga” ti se, a kut a säng ja a kut akce mäiha daw law beki.
Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14 Acunüng Pharise he akcea cit u lü Jesuh ami mkhyüh vaia cengkie.
But the Pharisees [Separated] went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Jesuh naw ami hnim hlü cun a ksingei üng, akcea jah ceh ta se khyangpä naw läki he. Mhnatei nakütki a jah mdaw be.
Yeshua [Salvation], perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16 Jesuh naw ania mawng i käh ami kcüinak vaia a jah mtheh.
and commanded them that they should not make him known:
17 Acun cun Pamhnam naw a pyensak sahma Hesajah naw a na pyen a kümceinak vaia kyaki.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] the prophet, saying,
18 “Tenga, ka mpya, ka xü cen, ka kphyanak ja ka mlunga jenak. Ka ngmüimkhya a khana ka tüih khai, ani naw ngthumkhyahnak cun khyangmjüe üng jah mtheh khai.
“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my agapetos ·beloved, esteemed· in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Ruach ·Spirit, Breath· on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 Ngpyang lü ngcuhpüi am ve, u naw a kthai lama käh ngja khai.
He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 Ngkunkia kyaicung käh k’ekbät lü, meisui mkhu pi käh mthih khai. Ngpyunnak a ngnäng veia,
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
21 A ngming üng khyang he naw äpeinak ta khaie.
In his name, the nations will hope.”
22 Acunüng khawyaia venak a mik mü lü am ngthuhei theiki khyang mat ami lawpüi Jesuh naw mdaw be se, ngthuhei lü hmuh law be theiki.
Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 Khyangpäe naw Jesuha pawh cun hmu lü müncan law u lü, “Hina khyang hin Davita capa ni khawh khai aw?”
All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David [Beloved]?”
24 Pharise he naw acun ami ngjak üng, “Hina khyang naw Beelzebul yaiea mkhawnga pet johit am yaie jah ksät ve” ami ti.
But when the Pharisees [Separated] heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Ba'al-Zibbul [Lord of Flies], the prince of the demons.”
25 Jesuh naw ami cungaih jah ksing lü, “Aia pe pi animäte ngcawhkie cun khawvei am kham lü ngtai khawikie. Aia mlüh pi imbung üng pi, animäte ngcawhkie cun am ngsawn khawi u.”
Knowing their thoughts, Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Acunüng khawyai naw khawyai a ksät üng, amät naw amät mtaikia kya se, ikba a khaw ngsawng khawh khai ni?
If Satan [Adversary] casts out Satan [Adversary], he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 Nangmi naw Beelzebul yai mkhawnga na pet johit am yaie ka jah ksät vaia nami pyenki. Acun a ni üng, u naw nami hnukläke üng jah ksätnaka johit jah peki ni? Nami hnukläke naw nami mkhye ngdangsak ve u, a ti.
If I by Ba'al-Zibbul [Lord of Flies] cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
28 Am ni, Beelzebula johit am ni. Mhnama ngmüimkhyaa johit am ka jah ksät üng va Pamhnama Khaw nami khana pha lawki.
But if I by Ruach ·Spirit, Breath· of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
29 Am ani üng u naw khyang kyan yüi üng am pin ma lü, a ima ka khawhkhyame jah loei thei khai ni?
Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
30 Au pi, kei da am veki cun kei na hnengki ni. Kei am alanga am na mcunpüiki cun ngphyüingphyakia kyaki ni.
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.
31 Acunakyase ka ning jah mthehki, mkhyekatnak naküt ja, Pamhnam ksekha nakie cun jah mhläta kya khai. Cunsepi Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ksekhanaki cun mhlät theia am kya.
Therefore I tell you, every abstract sin ·miss the mark· and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against haRuach [the Spirit, Breath] will not be forgiven men.
32 Aupi Khyanga Capa mkhyekat na lü ksekhanaki cun mhläta kya khai. Cunsepi Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ksekhanaki cun tuh pi ngawia pi mhlät theia am kya. (aiōn g165)
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against Ruach haKodesh [Spirit, Breath of the Holiness], it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
33 Akthei üng a thing ksing theia kya se, akthei a daw üng a thing daw lü, akthei a set üng a thing seki ti nami ksing vai.
“Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 Kphyuksee aw, ihawkba se u lü akdaw nami pyen thei khai ni? Mlung üng veki va mpyawng üng lut law khawiki.
You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35 Khyang kdaw naw a mlung kdaw üngka akdawe jah pyen khawi lü, khyang kse naw a mlung kse üngka aksee jah pyen khawiki.
The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
36 Ka ning jah mthehki, akse pyenkia khyang naküt a pyena phu cun ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng thung be khai.
I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 Na ngthu naw ning lätsak lü na ngthu bä naw ning mkat khai” a ti.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
38 Acunüng thum mthei he avang ja Pharise he naw Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, müncankse mat na pawh kami hmuh hlüki” ti lü tä u se,
Then certain of the Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated] answered, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 Jesuh naw, “Tuh kän khyang he ihlawka se lü mtuihmlehkie ni. Nangmi naw müncankse nami täkie aw? Jonaha müncanksea thea i käh ning jah mhnuh vai” a ti.
But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah [Dove] the prophet.
40 Jonah nganua k’uma mhnüp kthum ja mthan kthum a vea mäiha khyanga capa pi mdek k’uma mhnüp kthum ja mthan kthum ve khai.
For as Jonah [Dove] was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Ninevih mlüha khyang he naw ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng ngdüi u lü ning jah mtai law khaie. Isetiüng Jonaha ngthu pyena phäh ami mkhyenak üngka naw ngjutkie. Teng u, Jonaha kthaka kyäp bawkie ve ve u.
The men of Nineveh [Offspring’s Habitation] will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they make teshuvah ·complete repentance· at the preaching of Jonah [Dove]; and behold, someone greater than Jonah [Dove] is here.
42 Ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng Sheba Sangpuxangnu naw ngdüi lü ning jah cijang law khai. Ani cun Solamona themngvainak ngai khaia athuknak a khaw üngka naw lawki. Teng ua, Solamona kthaka kyäp bawki hia ve khü.
The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense]; and behold, someone greater than Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense] is here.”
43 Ngmüimkhyakse khyang üngka naw a lut law üng, mkyanga a hüieinak vai hnün sui hü lü am hmu lü,
“When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it.
44 “ka venak kphyüm ima ka cit be khai” ti lü a ceh be üng, a na ngcim lü a na phephaih, a na ngkhämtawng se a hmuh.
Then he says, ‘I will teshuvah ·completely return· into my house from which I came out,’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 Cit be lü amäta kthaka se bawkia ngmüimkhya ksee khyüh jah khü law se lut u lü, acuia awmki he. Acunüng, acuna khyang üng kya law khai cun akma kaa kthaka kyühkse bawki ni. Acukba tukbäih hina khyang ksee üng pi thawn law hnga khai” a ti.
Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
46 Acukba khyang khawhahea veia a ngthuei k'um üng a nu ja a benae naw ami ngthuheipüi vaia sui hü u lü kpunga ngdüikie.
While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
47 Acunüng mat naw, “Tenga na nu ja na benae naw ning ngthuei hlüpüi lü kpunga ngdüi ve u” ti lü a mtheh.
One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48 Jesuh naw, “U ni ka nu, ue ni ka benae cun” a ti.
But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
49 Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he maa a kut säng lü, “Hine hin ka nu ja ka benae ni.”
He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50 Au pi, ka pa khankhawa kaa ngjak hlü pawhki naküt cun ka benae, ka cinae ja ka nua kyaki he ni” a ti.
For whoever does the will of 'Avi shebashamayim ·my Father in Heaven·, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
