Luka 11
1 Amaha om vaengah a tue a phatih hmuen pakhat ah thangthui. A thangthui bawt ah, a hnukbang pakhat loh Jesuh taengah, “Boeipa, kaimih he thangthui ham n'thuituen lah, Johan long khaw a hnukbangrhoek tea thuituen van,” a ti nah.
It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples."
2 Te dongah amih te, “Na thangthui uh vaengah, 'A pa na ming tah ciim pai saeh, na ram pai saeh.
So he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Khohhnin rhamhnin kaimih kah buh he amah khohnin ah kaimih m'pae lah.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Kaimih kah tholhnah soah kaimih he n'hlah lah, kaimih khaw kaimih taengah laiaka ba boeih te ka hlah uh van dongah. Cuekhalhnah khuila kaimih n'khuen boeh, 'ti uh,” a ti nah.
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
5 Te phoeiah amih te, “Nangmih khuikah pakhat loh paya a khueh tih, ihdulh ah anih taengla cet mai ni. Te vaengah anih te, 'Ka paya, vaidam pa thum ah kai m'pu dae.
He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Ka paya yin lamkah kai taengla ha pawk tih, anih ham ka tawn pah khaw ka khueh pawh,’ a ti nah.
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'
7 Te long khaw a khuiah a doo tih, 'Thakthaenah nen khaw kai n'toeh boeh. Thohka a khaih coeng, ka taengkah ka ca rhoek khaw ihnah dongla om uh coeng, nang paek ham ka tho thai mahpawh,’ a ti nah ni.
and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?
8 Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih te a paya la a om dongah thoo cakhaw pae mai mahpawh. Tedae a paya te a calaak coeng atah thoo vetih a kuek yet te a paek ni.
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 Nangmih taengah ka thui, Bih uh lamtah, nangmih tem'paek bitni, toem uh lamtah na hmuh uh bitni, khoek uh lamtah nangmih ham a ong binit.
"I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 Aka bih loh boeih a dang tih, aka toem loh a hmuh dongah aka khoek ham khaw a ong pah ni.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Nangmih khuikah napa pakhat te a ca loh nga a hoe vaengah, nga yueng la rhul a doe aya?
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Aiduei hoe koinih a ca te saelkhui-ta-ai a paek aya?
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 Te dongah nangmih a thae la aka om long pataeng, na ca rhoek te kutdoe then paek ham na ming uh atah, vaan lamkah pa loh muep a ming ngai dongah amah aka dawt rhoek te tah Mueihla Cim a paek ni,” a ti nah.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
14 Rhaithae om tiha haek hatah olmueh la ana poeh pah. Te dongah rhaithaete vawla caeh daengah olmueh te koep cal tih hlangping khaw a ngaihmang.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.
15 Tedae amih khuikah hlangvang loh, “Rhaithae boei Beelzebul rhangnen ni rhaithaea haek,” a ti uh.
But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
16 A tloe rhoek loh a noemcai uh tih vaan lamkah miknoekte anih taengaha toem uh.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Tedae amah loh amih kah kopoek tea ming dongah amih te, “Ram boeih he amah a paekboe atah poci tih, imkhui loh imkhui a paekboe thil atah cungku.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Satan khaw amah neh amah paekboe uh koinih, metlam lae a ram a pai eh? Kai loh Beelzebul rhangneh rhaithae a haek na ti uh.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Tedae Beelzebul rhangneh rhaithae te ka haek koinih, na ca rhoek long tah u rhangnen lae a haekuh. Te dongah amih te nangmih soah laitloekkung la om uh ni.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
20 Tedae Pathen kah kutdawn neh rhaithae te ka haek koinih, nangmih soah Pathen kah ram ha pai coeng.
But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
21 Khangmai la aka nuet uh long ni a vongup te a hung tih a khuehtawn loh ngaimong la om van.
"When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Tedae anih lakah aka tlung ngai ha pawk vaengah tah anih te a noeng. Te vaengah a pangtung thil lungpok haica te a rhawt pah tih, a kutbuem a poelyoe pah.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides up his plunder.
23 Kai taengah aka om pawt tah kai aka koek ni. Kai taengah aka coi pawt loh a thaek.
"He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
24 Mueihla thae tah hlang taeng lamkah a nong vaengah tuihang hmuen te a hil tih duemnah a tlap. Tedae hmuen a hmuh pawt vaengah, “Ka nong tak tangtae kamah im la ka mael ni,' a ti.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the person, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'
25 Ha pawk vaengah, im te nawt tangtae neh a khoem la a hmuh
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Te dongah cet tih amah lakah aka thae mueihla tloe parhih te a khuen. Te phoeiah a kun puei tih pahoi a om puei dongah tekah hlang kah a hnukkhueng tah lamhma kah lakah a thae la om,” a ti nah.
Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first."
27 Te a thui vaengah hlangpingkhui lamkah huta pakhat loh ola hueltih Jesuh te, “Nang aka yom bung neh aka cun rhang suk tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you."
28 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Pathen ol aka ya tih aka tuem rhoek tah a yoethen ngai,” a ti nah.
But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
29 Hlangping hea khawk vaengaha tong tih, “Tahae kah cadil tah rhaithae cadil ni, Miknoek te a toem uh dae Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek pae mahpawh.
When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
30 Jonah tah Nineveh ham miknoek la a om vanbangla, hlang capa khaw tahae kah cadil taengah om van ni.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 Tahae cadil hlang rhoek taengkah laitloeknah ah tuithim manghainu te thoo vetih amih te a boe sak ni. Anih tah Solomon kah cueihnah hnatun ham diklai khobawt lamkah ha pawk. He ah he Solomon lakah aka khuet om ta he.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the people of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, one greater than Solomon is here.
32 Ninevi hlang rhoek loh tahae cadil kah laitloeknah te a pai uh thil vetih a boe sak ni. Jonah kah olhoe neh a yut uh atah, he ah aka om he Jonah lakah khuet dae ta he.
The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 Hmaiim a tok te tanhnaem ah khueh pawt tih voh khuiah khaw a muek moenih. Tedae aka kun rhoek loh vangnah hmu van saeh tila hmaitung soah ni a khueh.
"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 Na mik tah na pum kah hmaiim ni. Na mik loh cilrhik la a om vaengah na pum boeih te cilping la om van. Tedae a thae la a om vaengah na pum tah hmuep van.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Te dongah ngaithuen, na khuikah vangnah te yinnah la poeh ve.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
36 Te dongah na pum te boeih vang tih cungvang ah a hmuep pakhat khaw a om pawt atah, hmaiim loh a aa neh nang n'tue vaengkah bangla phaeng aka vang la om ni,” a ti nah.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
37 A thui vaengah, Pharisee loh a taengah buh ca la anih te a cael dongah kun tiha ngol puei.
Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
38 Buh kungah khut a nuem lamhma pawt te Pharisee loha hmuh tiha ngaihmang.
When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Tedae Boeipa loh anih te, “Nangmih Pharisee rhoek loh boengloeng neh baelpuei kah a hmanhu tah na cil na poe coeng. Tedae na khuiah halhkanah neh halangnah ni aka bae.
The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Hlang ang rhoek! a sohman ah aka saii loh a khui te khaw a saii moenih a?
You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Tedae a khuikah aka om te doedannah la pae uh lamtah, nangmih ham boeih caih ni.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to you.
42 Anunae nangmih Pharisee rhoek! Sungii, sungsing neh toian boeih tah na paek uh dae Pathen kah tiktamnah neh lungnah tah na hnalvaluh. Saii hamla a kuek te dalrha uh tak boeh.
But woe to you Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 Anunae nangmih Pharisee rhoek te! tunim kah ngolhmuen then neh hnoyoih hmuen kah toidalnah ni na lungnah uh.
Woe to you Pharisees. For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Anunae nangmih aih te, hlan bangla lumrhilumrha la na om uh dongah a sokah aka pongpa hlang loh ming pawh,” a ti nah.
Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it."
45 Olming pakhat loh Jesuh te a doo tih, “Saya, na thui te kaimih ni nan neet,” a ti nah.
One of the Law scholars answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
46 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih olming rhoek khaw anunae, hlang rhoek te hnophueih neh phueihtloel la na nan uh tih, namamih tah na kutdawn pakhat nen khaw hnophueih te na ben uh pawh.
He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Anunae nangmih aih, tonghma rhoek kah phuel te na sak uh dae na pa rhoek long ni amih te a ngawn.
Woe to you. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Na pa rhoek kah a khuui la na om uh van dongah a khoboe te na rhoihuh. Tonghma rhoek te amih loh a ngawn tih nangmih loh phuel im na sak pa uh.
So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Te dongah Pathen kah cueihnah long khaw, “Amih taengah tonghma rhoek neh caeltueih rhoek te ka tueih van vaengah, amih te a ngawn uh vetih a hnaemtaek bitni,” a ti.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Te dongah Diklai a tongnah lamkah tahae cadil rhoek loh a long sak tonghma rhoek kah a thii phu te boeih suk nawn saeh.
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 Abel thii lamloh Zekhariah thii duela hmueihtuk neh im laklo ah ni a poci. Ue ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, tahae kah cadil taengah a suk bitni.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Anunae nangmih olming rhoek te, mingnah cabi na pom lalah namamih khaw na kun uh pawt tih aka kun rhoek te na kang uh,” a ti nah.
Woe to you Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
53 Te lamkah loh Jesuh vawl a nong phoeiah tah cadaekrhoek neh Phariseerhoek loh mata hmuhuet uh tih anih kawngte muepa cawh uh.
And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak about many things;
54 A ka lamkah ol khat khat neh tangkhuep ham amah te a rhongngol uh.
lying in wait for him, seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
