Mahte 19
1 Jesuh ngthu a pyen päng ja Kalile üngka naw cit lü Jordan mliktuia caye Judah khawa citki.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2 Khyangpänu naw läk law u se Jesuh naw acuia a jah mdaw be.
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 Pharise he a veia law u lü ami mhnüteinak am, “Khyang mat naw a khyu ia phäha pi ni se a hlüeia kcün üng a hawih vai hin mi thum üng nglawiki aw?” ti lü ami kthäh.
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Jesuh naw, “Akcüka jah mhnünki naw kpami ja nghnumi a jah mhnün ti hin am nami khe khawikie aw?”
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 Pamhnam naw ‘Kpami naw a nu ja pa jah ceh ta lü a khyua vei ngdawn se nghngih xawi cun mtisa mata kya law khai xawi’ a ti.
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Acunkäna, nghngiha am ni ti ni, mata kyaki. Acunakyase, Pamhnam naw a jah lu hlin khawsawm cun khyang naw käh jah mtai se,” a ti.
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 Pharise he naw, “Am ani üng ivaia Mosi naw ngkyanaka kca pe u lü hawih vaia a jah mtheh ni,” ami ti.
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 Jesuh naw, “Nami mlungmthin nghlang lü mtheh am ngja uki se, Mosi naw nami khyu nami hawih vaia a ning jah mtheh ni. Cunüngpi a jah mhnünceng üng acukba am ni” a ti.
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Ka ning jah mthehki, aupi a khyu kpami kce am käh bäühma ni se akcea phäha hawih lü, khyu mah beki cun mkhyeki ni, acuna nghnumi khyu na beki pi mkhyekatki ni,” a ti.
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 Acunüng axüisaw he naw, “Acukba ani üng ta am khyu mah üng ni a daw hlü bawk ve,” ami ti.
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 Jesuh naw, “Ahina ngthu cun khyang naküt naw am ngaisim u. Acunüngpi, ngaisim khai hea a jah xü naw ni a mi ngaihsim hlü ve.
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 Avang cun a nua puk'um üngka naw käh khyuca mah khai hea a jah mhnün, avang cun khyang naw käh khyuca mah khaia ami jah pyang, avange cun Khankhaw Pea phäh animät käh khyuca mah khai hea nghnüneikie, aupi khyuca mah khaia tängki naw ngaisim se,” a ti.
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Jesuh naw Hnasenea khana a kut mtaih lü a jah ktaiyü pet vaia a veia jah lawpüi u se, axüisaw he naw ami jah ksenak.
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesuh naw, “Hnasene ka veia law u se, käh jah mah ua, Khankhaw Pe cun amimia mäiha phäh ni,” a ti.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Jesuh naw hnasenea khana a kut mtaih lü acunkäna akcea citki.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 Khyang mat law lü, “Saja aw, khankhawa angsäi xünnak ka yah vaia akdaw i ja ka pawh kawm?” ti se, (aiōnios g166)
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesuh naw, “I dawki ti ivai na na kthähki ni? Dawki ta mat däk ni a ve. Angsäi xünnak na yah hlü üng ngthumkhäne jah läklama” a ti.
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Cawngpyang naw, “Ia ngthumkhäne ni? a ti. Jesuh naw, “Khyang käh na hnim vai, khyanga khyuca käh na mkhyekatnak vai, käh na mpyuk vai, käh na hleihlak vai,”
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Na nu ja na pa na jah leisawng vai, namät naw namät na jawngnaka mäiha na impei loceng na jawngnak vai,” a ti,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Cawngpyang naw, “Ahin he cun ka dikca üngkhyüh ka jah läk päih ni, i ka pawh ham khai ni?” a ti.
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesuh naw, “Na kümkawi vai na ngai üng, cit lü na tak naküt jawi lü sih mpyaki he üng ngui na jah yet vai. Acunüng khana na khawh vai ve khai, acunkäna na läk law kawpi,” a ti.
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 Cawngpyang naw acun a ngjak üng, pukse lü akcea citeiki. Isetiüng ani cun bawimangkia kyaki.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, bawimangki hin Khankhaw Pe a luh vai aktäa küi ve,”
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Bawimangki Pamhnama Khaw a luha kthaka ta sanghngüksaü mpyüma nghnga khuia a luh vai jä bawki ni,” a ti.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Axüisawe naw ami ngjak üng aktäa müncan u lü, “Acunüng u naw küikyannak yah khawh khai ni?” ti lü ngthähkie.
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Jesuh naw jah teng lü, “Ahin cun khyanga phäha i am thawn thei lü pi Pamhnama phäha am thawn theiki am ve” a ti.
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Acunüng Pita naw, “Tenga ahmäi naküt hawih lü kami ning läk lawki, kami ning läk law phäha i kami ngmangnak khai ni?” a ti.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, Tuha Khyanga Capa amäta hlüngtainak ja a bawingawhnak üng a ngawh law üng, nami na läk hlükie pi bawingawhnak xaleinghngih üng ngaw hnga u lü, Isarel paca xaleinghngih nami jah uk khai,”
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Aupi keia ngminga phäh a ima pi kyase, a bena cinae pi kyase, a nu pa pi kyase, a ca hea pi kyase, a khawmdeka pi kyase, jah ceh taki cun acun kän cima aphya kthaka yah be lü, angsäi xünnak pi yah khai. (aiōnios g166)
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Acunsepi akmae hnu u lü akhnuae ma law khaie,” ti lü a jah mtheh.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
