Luka 11
1 Amah a om vaengah a tue a pha tih 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 hnukbang rhoek te a thuituen van,” a ti nah.
And as He was praying in a certain retired place, as soon as He had done, one of his disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray 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.
And He said unto them, when ye pray, say, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done as in heaven so also upon earth;
3 Khohhnin rhamhnin kaimih kah buh he amah khohnin ah kaimih m'pae lah.
give us day by day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins,
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.
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
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.
And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine on his journey is come to me,
6 Ka paya yin lamkah kai taengla ha pawk tih, anih ham ka tawn pah khaw ka khueh pawh,’ a ti nah.
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 shall answer and say, Do not be troublesome; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed, I cannot rise to give thee.
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, tho' he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend: yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he wants.
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.
And so I tell you, Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
10 Aka bih loh boeih a dang tih, aka toem loh a hmuh dongah aka khoek ham khaw a ong pah ni.
For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 Nangmih khuikah napa pakhat te a ca loh nga a hoe vaengah, nga yueng la rhul a doe aya?
If a son ask bread of any father among you, will he give him a stone? and if he ask for a fish, will he instead of a fish give him a serpent? or if he ask for an egg,
12 Aiduei hoe koinih a ca te saelkhui-ta-ai a paek aya?
will he 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 ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?
14 Rhaithae om tih a haek hatah olmueh la ana poeh pah. Te dongah rhaithae te vawl a caeh daengah olmueh te koep cal tih hlangping khaw a ngaihmang.
And He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb: and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the people wondered.
15 Tedae amih khuikah hlangvang loh, “Rhaithae boei Beelzebul rhangnen ni rhaithae a haek,” a ti uh.
But some of them said, He casteth out demons by Beelzebub the prince of demons:
16 A tloe rhoek loh a noemcai uh tih vaan lamkah miknoek te anih taengah a toem uh.
and others, to try Him, desired of Him a sign from heaven.
17 Tedae amah loh amih kah kopoek te a ming dongah amih te, “Ram boeih he amah a paekboe atah poci tih, imkhui loh imkhui a paekboe thil atah cungku.
But He who well knew their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and a house against a house falleth: if Satan also be divided against himself,
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.
how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say, that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
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.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your own people cast them out? wherefore they shall 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 cast out demons by the power of God, you may be sure the kingdom of God is come unto you:
21 Khangmai la aka nuet uh long ni a vongup te a hung tih a khuehtawn loh ngaimong la om van.
for when a strong man well-armed defends his palace, his substance is secure:
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 a stronger than he cometh upon him and conquers him, he taketh away his armour, wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
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; and he, that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
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.
When an impure spirit is gone out of a man, he wanders through dry desert places, seeking rest: and finding none he saith, I will return into my house, that I came out of;
25 Ha pawk vaengah, im te nawt tangtae neh a khoem la a hmuh
and when he cometh he findeth it swept and set 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 goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and so the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 Te a thui vaengah hlangping khui lamkah huta pakhat loh ol a huel tih Jesuh te, “Nang aka yom bung neh aka cun rhang suk tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
As He was speaking these things, a certain woman lifted up her voice from amidst the croud, and said, Happy is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck!
28 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Pathen ol aka ya tih aka tuem rhoek tah a yoethen ngai,” a ti nah.
but He replied, Yea rather happy are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.
29 Hlangping he a khawk vaengah a tong tih, “Tahae kah cadil tah rhaithae cadil ni, Miknoek te a toem uh dae Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek pae mahpawh.
And when the multitudes were gathering thick together He began to say, This is a wicked generation: they demand a sign, but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:
30 Jonah tah Nineveh ham miknoek la a om vanbangla, hlang capa khaw tahae kah cadil taengah om van ni.
for as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall 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 shall rise up in the day of judgement against the men of this generation and condemn them: for she came from the remote parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a 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.
And the men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for they repented upon the preaching of Jonas, and behold a greater than Jonas 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.
But yet no one having lighted a candle putteth it into a secret place, nor under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they 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 eye is the candle of the body: therefore when thine eye is clear, thy whole body also is light; but when it is bad, thy body also is dark.
35 Te dongah ngaithuen, na khuikah vangnah te yinnah la poeh ve.
Take heed therefore least the light which is in thee be 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.
For if thy whole body be light, having no part dark, it will be (when all enlightened) as when a candle giveth thee light by its brightness.
37 A thui vaengah, Pharisee loh a taengah buh ca la anih te a cael dongah kun tih a ngol puei.
And as He spake, a certain pharisee asked Him to dine with him: and He went in and sat down at table.
38 Buh kungah khut a nuem lamhma pawt te Pharisee loh a hmuh tih a ngaihmang.
And when the pharisee saw it he wondered that He did not wash first, 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.
But the Lord said unto him, ye pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness.
40 Hlang ang rhoek! a sohman ah aka saii loh a khui te khaw a saii moenih a?
Senseless creatures! Did not He who made the outside, make also that which is within? give alms rather according to your ability:
41 Tedae a khuikah aka om te doedannah la pae uh lamtah, nangmih ham boeih caih ni.
and behold all things are 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 wo unto you pharisees, who tithe even your mint, and rue, and all your herbs, and pass by judgement and the love of God: these ought ye to practise and not to omit the others.
43 Anunae nangmih Pharisee rhoek te! tunim kah ngolhmuen then neh hnoyoih hmuen kah toidalnah ni na lungnah uh.
Wo unto you pharisees; for ye love the chief seat in synagogues, and salutations in public places.
44 Anunae nangmih aih te, hlan bangla lumrhilumrha la na om uh dongah a sokah aka pongpa hlang loh ming pawh,” a ti nah.
Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; for ye are like graves that do not appear, and those that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Olming pakhat loh Jesuh te a doo tih, “Saya, na thui te kaimih ni nan neet,” a ti nah.
And one of the doctors of the law answered and said unto Him, Master, in saying these things thou reproachest 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.
And He said, Wo unto you also, ye interpreters of the law, for ye load men with insupportable burthens, and ye yourselves touch not the burthens with one of your fingers.
47 Anunae nangmih aih, tonghma rhoek kah phuel te na sak uh dae na pa rhoek long ni amih te a ngawn.
Wo unto you; who build the sepulchres 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.
Thus ye testify that ye approve of the deeds of your fathers; for they put them to death, and ye build their sepulchres.
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.
And therefore the wisdom of God hath said, I will send 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 has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah,
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.
who perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I tell you, it shall 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.
Wo unto you interpreters of the law; for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and those that were entering in, ye hindered.
53 Te lamkah loh Jesuh vawl a nong phoeiah tah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh mat a hmuhuet uh tih anih kawng te muep a cawh uh.
As He was saying these things unto them the scribes and pharisees began vehemently to attack Him, and urge Him to speak of many things,
54 A ka lamkah ol khat khat neh tangkhuep ham amah te a rhongngol uh.
laying snares for Him, and endeavouring to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse Him.
