Mathai 19
1 Jesu mah hae loknawk thuih pacoengah, Kalili prae hoiah tacawt moe, Judea prae Jordan vapui zaeh ah a caeh;
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these discourses, that he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan.
2 paroeai kaminawk anih hnukah bang o; anih mah to ahmuen ah nihcae to ngantuisak.
And many multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.
3 Thoemto Farasinawk loe Anih tanoek hanah, anih khaeah angzoh o, kawbaktih hmuen pongah doeh kami maeto mah a zu to pakhrak thaihaih daan oh maw? tiah a naa o.
And the Pharisees came to him to tempt him, and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Tangsuek hoi sahkung mah loe nongpa hoi nongpata to a sak, tiah pathim pae,
He answered and said to them: Have you not read that the Creator, at the beginning, created them male and female,
5 hae pongah nongpa mah ampa hoi amno to caehtaak ueloe, a zu to la tih: nihnik loe takpum maeto ah om hoi tih, tiah kaom lok to na kroek o vai ai maw?
and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 To pongah nihnik loe hnetto na ai boeh ni, takpum maeto ah ni oh hoi boeh. To pongah Sithaw mah nawnto patomh boeh loe, mi mah doeh tapraek hmah nasoe, tiah a naa.
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, to tiah nahaeloe tipongah Mosi mah loe, Zu pakhrakhaih ca to paek ah loe, zu to pakhrah ah, tiah thuih loe? tiah a naa o.
They said to him: Why, then, did Moses command us to give a bill of divorce and put her away?
8 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Palung na thah o hmoek pongah ni zu pakhrak hanah ang thuih o: toe tangsuek naah loe to tiah om ai, tiah a naa.
He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Kang thuih o, mi kawbaktih doeh zu sava laep ah daan ai ah nongpa nongpata zae sakhaih khue ai ah, zu pakhrah moe, kalah nongpata to zu ah la kami loe, daan ai ah minawk ih zu sava hoi zaehaih sah kami ah ni a oh, tiah a naa.
But I say to you, That whoever puts away his wife, unless for lewdness, and marries another, commits adultery; and he that marries her that is put away, commits adultery.
10 A hnukbang kaminawk mah, Zulakhaih kawng pongah hae tiah kami to om nahaeloe, zu lak han hoih ai bae to, tiah a naa o.
His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry.
11 Toe anih mah nihcae khaeah, Paek ih kaminawk khae khue mah ai ah loe, kami boih mah hae thuih ih lok hae talawk o thai mak ai.
But he said to them: All can not accept this saying; only those to whom it is given.
12 Thoemto kaminawk loe amno zokthung hoiah tangzat dueh kami ah tapen: thoemto kaminawk loe kaminawk mah loe tangzat to duek o sak: thoemto kaminawk loe van prae taham ah angmacae hoi angmacae tangzat dueh kami ah oh o. Talawk thaih kami mah hae lok hae talawk nasoe.
For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.
13 Anih mah nawktanawk nuiah ban koeng moe, lawkthuih pae hanah nawktanawk anih khaeah angzoh o haih, toe a hnukbang kaminawk mah nihcae to zoeh pae o.
Then little children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14 Toe Jesu mah, Nawktanawk to om o nasoe, nihcae to pakaa o hmah, kai khaeah angzo o haih ah: siangpahrang mah uk ih van prae loe to baktih kaminawk han ih ni oh, tiah a naa.
But Jesus said: Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Nihcae nuiah a ban koeng pae pacoengah, to ahmuen hoiah tacawt taak.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed from that place.
16 Khenah, kami maeto anih khaeah angzoh moe, Kahoih patukkung, dungzan hinghaih ka hnuk thai hanah, kahoih hmuen timaw ka sak han? tiah a dueng. (aiōnios g166)
And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him: (aiōnios g166)
17 Anih mah, tipongah Kahoih, tiah nang kawk loe? Sithaw, maeto khue ai ah loe, kahoih maeto doeh om ai: hinghaih thungah akun han na koeh nahaeloe, kaaloknawk to pazui ah, tiah a naa.
Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is God. But if you desire to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 To naah to kami mah, Kawbaktih kaalok maw? tiah a naa. Jesu mah, Kami hum hmah, zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah hmah, paqu hmah, hnukung amsawn ah om hmah,
He said to him: Which? Jesus replied: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony;
19 nam no hoi nam pa to saiqat ah, na imtaeng kaminawk to nangmah baktih toengah palung ah, tiah thuih ih kaalok to, tiah a naa.
Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
20 To naah thendoeng mah anih khaeah, Hae kaaloknawk loe nawkta nathuem hoiah ka pazui boih boeh: ka sak han ih timaw angai vop? tiah a naa.
The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack?
21 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Kakoep ah oh han na koeh nahaeloe, caeh ah loe, na tawnh ih hmuennawk to zawh boih pacoengah, amtang kaminawk hanah paek ah, siangpahrang mah uk ih van prae ah hmuenmae to na tawn tih: to pacoengah ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
Jesus said to him: If you would be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 To lok to thendoeng mah thaih naah, anih loe hmuenmae hoiah angraeng parai kami ah oh pongah, palungset moe, a caeh ving.
When the young man heard that saying, he went away grieved; for he had great possessions.
23 Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, Long angraeng loe siangpahrang mah uk ih van prae thungah akun han rai parai;
Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, A rich man will with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 kang thuih o let, Long angraeng Sithaw mah ukhaih prae thungah akun pongah loe, kaengkuu hrang phungvang khaw thungah akun han zoi kue, tiah a naa.
And again I say to 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 To lok to a hnukbang kaminawk mah thaih o naah, nihcae mah dawnrai o parai, to tiah nahaeloe mi maw pahlong ah om thai tih? tiah a thuih o.
When the disciples heard it, they were greatly amazed, and said: Who, then, can be saved?
26 Toe Jesu mah nihcae khaeah angqoi moe, Kami han loe hae hmuen hae angcoeng thai ai; toe Sithaw hoiah loe hmuen boih angcoeng thaih, tiah a naa.
But Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men, this is impossible; but with God, all things are possible.
27 To pacoengah Piter mah anih khaeah, Khenah, kaicae loe hmuennawk boih ka caeh o taak moe, na hnukah ka bang o: kaicae loe timaw ka hnu o tih? tiah pathim pae.
Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?
28 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, hmuenmae kangtha ah amkhraihaih atue to oh moe, kami Capa a lensawkhaih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut naah, nangcae doeh angraeng tangkhang hatlai hnetto nuiah nang hnu o ueloe, Israeal acaeng hatlai hnettonawk to lok na caek o tih.
Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, That, in the restoration, when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Mi kawbaktih doeh ka hmin pongah imnawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe nawkamyanawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe ampa maw, to tih ai boeh loe amno maw, to tih ai boeh loe a zu maw, to tih ai boeh loe a caanawk hoi a lawknawk maw caehtaak kami loe, atho alet cumvaito hnu ueloe, dungzan hinghaih qawk to toep tih. (aiōnios g166)
And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Toe pop parai hmahman kaminawk hnukkhuem o ueloe, hnukkhuem kaminawk to hmahman o tih, tiah a naa.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
