Mathai 9
1 Anih loe palong thungah akun, tuipui to angkat moe, angmah vangpui bangah caeh.
Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
2 Khenah, iihhaih nuiah kangsong, khok ban dueh nathaih tawn kami anih khaeah angzawn o: Jesu mah nihcae tanghaih to hnuk naah, nganna kami khaeah, Ka capa, kamongah om ah; na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah a naa.
Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
3 Khenah, ca tarik kami thoemto kaminawk mah palung thung hoiah, Hae kami loe Sithaw hmin kasae bae a thuih hae, tiah poek o.
On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
4 Nihcae poekhaih to Jesu mah panoek pae naah, Tipongah palung thungah kasae na poek o loe?
But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
5 Na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah thuih ih lok maw kazoi kue, to tih ai boeh loe Angthawk loe caeh lai ah, tiah thuih ih lok?
Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
6 Kami Capa loe long nuiah zae tahmen thaihaih tawnh, tiah na panoek o thai hanah, (anih mah ngan kadueh nathaih tawn kami) khaeah, Angthawk ah, kahni to lah loe, na im ah caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
7 To naah anih loe angthawk moe, angmah im ah caeh.
And the man got up and went home.
8 Paroeai pop kami mah to hmuen to hnuk naah, dawnrai o moe, kaminawk khaeah to tiah thacakhaih paekkung, Sithaw to saphaw o.
When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
9 Jesu loe to ahmuen hoiah caeh poe moe, tamut conghaih ahmuen ah kanghnu Mathai, tiah ahmin kaom, kami maeto a hnuk: anih khaeah, Ka hnuk ah bangah, tiah a naa. Anih loe angthawk moe, anih hnukah bang.
As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
10 Jesu buhcaak han anghnut naah, khenah, tamut cong kaminawk hoi pop parai kazae kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, a hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto anghnut o.
Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
11 Farasi kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, anih hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Tikhoe nangcae patukkung loe tamut cong kaminawk, kazae kaminawk hoi nawnto buhcaak loe? tiah a naa o.
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 To lok to Jesu mah thaih naah, anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ngantui kami loe siboi angai ai, nganna kami mah ni angaih.
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
13 Toe nangcae loe caeh oh loe, angbawnhaih na ai ah, palungnathaih ni ka koeh, tiah thuih ih lok hae amtuk oh: katoeng kami kawk hanah kang zo ai, kazae kaminawk dawnpakhuemsak han ih ni kang zoh, tiah a naa.
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
14 Johan hnukbang kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, Kaicae hoi Farasinawk loe buh ka zah o, tikhoe nang hnukbang kaminawk loe buhzaa o ai loe? tiah a naa o.
At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Zu la kami ih ampuinawk loe zu la kami hoi nawnto oh o naah, palungsae o tih maw? Toe zulakung nihcae khae hoi lak vinghaih ni to pha tih, to naah nihcae mah buh to zaa o tih.
Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
16 Mi mah doeh khukbuen kangtha to kangquem nuiah abu vai ai, abu nahaeloe angan kangtha mah kangquem to azuk ueloe, prawn aep tih.
No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.
17 Mi mah doeh misurtui kangtha to pailang kangquem thungah lawn vai ai: lawn nahaeloe pailang to tapok ueloe, misurtui to long boih tih, pailang doeh amro tih: to pongah misurtui kangtha loe pailang kangtha thungah ni lawn o, to tiah ni kahoih ah suem hmaek thai tih, tiah a naa.
Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
18 Anih mah nihcae khaeah hae loknawk thuih li naah, khenah, ukkung maeto angzoh moe, anih to bok pacoengah, Ka canu loe vaicuek pangah duek boeh; toe angzoh loe a nuiah na ban to koeng ah, to tiah nahaeloe anih to hing tih, tiah a naa.
While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
19 Jesu loe angthawk moe, anih hnukah caeh, a hnukbang kaminawk doeh caeh o toeng.
So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
20 Khenah, saning hatlai hnetto thung athii kalong, nongpata maeto anih hnukah angzoh moe, anih ih kahni tom to a sui duem.
Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
21 To nongpata mah anih ih kahni tom mah ka sui nahaeloe, ngan ka tui tih, tiah poek.
She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesu loe angqoi moe, nongpata to hnuk naah, Ka canu, kamongta ah om ah; na tanghaih mah ngan ang tuisak boeh, tiah a naa. To atue nathuem roe ah nongpata to ngantui roep.
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
23 Ukkung imthung ah akun naah Jesu mah tam-oi ueng kaminawk hoi paroeai kaminawk to hnuk,
When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
24 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Ahmuen na paek oh: nongpata loe dueh ai, iih ni a iih, tiah a naa: to naah nihcae mah anih to pahnui o thuih.
“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
25 Kaminawk tasa bangah tacawtsak pacoengah, anih loe a thungah akun, nongpata to ban ah patawnh naah, nongpata ta loe angthawk.
After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
26 To tamthang to prae thung boih ah amthang.
And the news about this spread throughout that region.
27 To ahmuen hoiah Jesu tacawt naah, mikmaeng hnetto anih hnukah bang hoi moe, David capa, kaihnik nuiah tahmenhaih tawn raeh, tiah hangh hoi.
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28 Anih imthung ah caeh naah, mikmaeng hnik anih khaeah angzoh hoi: Jesu mah nihnik khaeah, Hae hmuen hae ka sak thaih, tiah na tang hoi maw? tiah a naa.
After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
29 To pacoengah nihnik ih mik to a sui pae, Na tang hoi baktih toengah nanghnik khaeah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
30 To naah nihnik ih mik amtueng pae roep; Jesu mah, mi khaeah doeh thui hmah, tiah a naa.
And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
31 Toe nihnik loe caeh hoi moe, anih ih tamthang to prae boih ah thuih hoi.
But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
32 Nawnetta caeh hoi pacoengah, khenah, taqawk tawn lokpae thai ai kami maeto Jesu khaeah angzoh o haih.
As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
33 Jesu mah taqawk haek pacoengah loe, lokpae thai ai kami to lok apaeh: paroeai kaminawk loe dawnrai o moe, Israel prae thungah hae baktih hmuen ka hnu o vai ai vop, tiah a thuih o.
And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
34 Toe Farasinawk mah, Taqawknawk ih angraeng hoiah ni taqawknawk to a haek, tiah a naa o.
But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
35 Jesu loe vangpui hoi vangta bangah caeh moe, Sineko ah kaminawk to patuk, siangpahrang ukhaih prae tamthanglok kahoih to taphong, nganna kaminawk hoi congca nathaih tawn kaminawk to ngan a tuisak.
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.
36 Pop parai kaminawk to a hnuk naah, nihcae loe thazok o moe, tuutoep kami om ai ah, ampraek phang tuu baktiah oh o pongah, nihcae nuiah palung hoih ai.
When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 To naah anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Cang aah han paroeai pop, toe toksah kaminawk loe tamsi o.
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
38 To pongah lawk tawnkung mah, a lawk thungah cang aat kaminawk kapop ah patoeh thai hanah lawkthui oh, tiah a naa.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
