Luka 19
1 Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2 Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Zakkhaeus la a khue te lawt om. Anih tah mangmu boei neh kuirhang la om.
And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.
3 Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he could not do so because of the crowd, for he was a short man.
4 Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because Jesus was about to pass by that way.
5 Tekah hmuen la a pha vaengah Jesuh tah oeloe tih anih te, “Zakkhaeus, a loe la rhum, tihnin ah nang im ah ka naeh ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and saw him. Then he said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at yoʋr house today.”
6 Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
So he hurried down and received Jesus with joy.
7 Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
When all the people saw it, they grumbled, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man.”
8 A pai neh Zakkhaeus loh Boeipa taengah, “Boeipa, Ka khuehtawn he rhakthuem he khodaeng rhoek ka paek. Hlang khat khat kah hno khat khat ni ka rhawt pah bal atah rhaepli la ka thuung coeng he,” a ti nah.
But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I will pay back four times the amount.”
9 Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Anih tah Abraham capa la a om van dongah tihnin ah tah khangnah loh he imkhui la pai coeng.
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown that he too is a son of Abraham.
10 Hlang Capa ha pawk he aka poci te toem ham neh khang ham rhoe pai ni,” a ti.
For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.”
11 Jerusalem a pha tom vaengah a yaak neh Pathen kah ram a tueng hamla cai tomlael coeng tila a poek dongah nuettahnah pakhat te a thap tih a thui.
Now as the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.
12 Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
So he said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself and then return.
13 Te dongah a sal hlangrha te a khue tih mina lungrha te amih taengah a paek. Te phoeiah amih te, ‘Amah ka pawk hil thenpom uh,’ a ti nah.
Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I return.’
14 Tedae a pilnam rhoek loh anih te a hmuhuet uh. Te dongah amah hnukah laipai tloep a tueih uh tih, ‘Kaimih soah a manghai ham he ka ngaih uh moenih,’ a ti na uh.
But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
15 Ram te a loh tih amah ha mael vaengah tah tangka a paek a sal rhoek te amah taengla a khue tih metla a thenpom uh khaw ming hamla a dawt.
When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out who had gained what by engaging in business.
16 Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ‘Boeipa, nang kah mina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
The first came before him and said, ‘Master, yoʋr mina has made ten minas more.’
17 Te vaengah anih te, ‘Then, sal then a yit dongah uepom la na om tih, kho parha soah saithainah aka khueh la om laeh,’ a ti nah.
The king said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because yoʋ have been faithful in a very small matter, take authority over ten cities.’
18 Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ‘Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
The second came and said, ‘Master, yoʋr mina has made five minas.’
19 Anih khaw, ‘Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
The king said to him, ‘Yoʋ are to be over five cities.’
20 Te phoeiah pakhat loh ha pawk tih, ‘Boeipa, nang kah mina tah himbaica khuiah ka khueh tih ka tung he.
Another came and said, ‘Master, behold, here is yoʋr mina, which I kept put away in a piece of cloth.
21 Dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la na om dongah namah khaw kang rhih. Na khueh pawt te na phueih tih na tuh pawt te na ah,’ a ti nah.
For I was afraid of yoʋ, because yoʋ are a stern man. Yoʋ take out what yoʋ did not put in, and yoʋ reap what yoʋ did not sow.’
22 Anih te tah, ‘Na ka lamkah vanbangla nang taengah ol ka tloek ni, sal thae aw, kai he dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la ka om te na ming coeng. Ka khueh pawt te ka poh tih ka tuh pawt te ka ah het a?
The king said to him, ‘I will condemn yoʋ by the words coming out of yoʋr own mouth, yoʋ evil servant. Yoʋ knew, did yoʋ, that I was a stern man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Te vaengah balae tih ka tangka te caboei dongla na tloeng pawh. Kai ka pawk vaengah a casai neh ka dang kolo mako,’ a ti nah.
Why then did yoʋ not deposit my money in the bank, and when I came I would have collected it with interest?’
24 Te phoeiah aka pai rhoek te, ‘Anih taengkah mina te lo uh lamtah mina lungrha aka khueh te pae uh,’ a ti nah.
Then he said to those standing nearby, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 Te vaengah anih te, ‘Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas!’
26 Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
The king said, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more, but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
27 Tedae amih soah kai manghai sak ham aka ngaih pawh ka rhal rhoek te pahoi hang khuen uh lamtah ka hmaiah ngawn uh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
But as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
28 Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
After saying these things, Jesus continued on his way up to Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples.
29 Olives tlang a ti uh taengkah Bethphage neh Bethany te vat a pha vaengah hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
As he drew near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples ahead,
30 “Rhaldan kah kho la cet rhoi, a khuila na kun rhoi vaengah laakca a pael te na hmuh rhoi ni. Te soah hlang ngol noek pawt dae hlam lamtah hang khuen rhoi.
saying, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31 khat loh nangmih rhoi te, ‘Ba ham lae na hlam?’ tila n'dawt atah, ‘Boeipa loh a ngoe,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’”
32 Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
So those who were sent went off and found it just as he had told them.
33 laak ca te a hlam rhoi vaengah a boei loh amih rhoi te, “Balae tih laak ca te na hlam rhoi,” a ti nah.
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
They said, “The Lord has need of it.”
35 Te te Jesuh taengla a khuen rhoi. Te phoeiah laak ca te a himbai neh a khuk uh tih Jesuh te a soah a ngol sak uh.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their garments over it, and set Jesus on it.
36 A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
As he went along, people were spreading their garments on the road.
37 Olives tlang kah singling te a pha tom vaengah a thaomnah te hnukbang rhaengpuei loh pahoi boeih a hmuh uh. Te boeih nen te omngaih uh tih Pathen te ol neh rhuprhup a thangthen uh.
And as he drew near to the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen,
38 “Boeipa ming neh aka pawk manghai tah a yoethen, vaan ah ngaimongnah, thangpomnah tah a sangkoek ah om saeh,” a ti uh.
saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
39 Te dongah hlangping lamkah Pharisee hlangvang loh amah te, “Saya, na hnukbang rhoek te toel lah,” a ti nah.
But some of the Pharisees from among the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke yoʋr disciples.”
40 Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
In response he said to them, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out.”
41 Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
As he drew near to Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it,
42 “Tahae kah ngaimongnah he nang long khaw tihnin ah na ming koinih, tedae na mikhmuh lamloh a thuh coeng.
saying, “If only yoʋ had known, especially on this day of yoʋrs what would bring yoʋ peace! But now it is hidden from yoʋr eyes.
43 Khohnin loh nang taengla ha pawk vetih na rhal rhoek loh nang te vaam n'too thil ni. Te vaengah nang te n'dum vetih voeivang ah nang te ng'et ni.
For the days will come upon yoʋ when yoʋr enemies build a barricade around yoʋ and encircle yoʋ, hemming yoʋ in on every side.
44 Te phoeiah namah neh na khuikah na ca rhoek te a hnaa uh ni. Namamih kah hiphoelnah tue te na ming pawt yueng, na khuikah lungto sokah lungto pakhat pataeng hmaai uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
They will raze yoʋ to the ground, and yoʋr children within yoʋ. They will not leave in yoʋ one stone upon another, because yoʋ did not recognize the time of yoʋr visitation.”
45 Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were selling and buying there.
46 Amih te, “‘Ka im tah thangthuinah im la om ni,’ tila a daek coeng dae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah khuirhung la na saii uh,” a ti nah.
He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”
47 Te phoeiah hnin takuem bawkim khuiah om tih a thuituen. Tedae khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh pilnam kah a congkhang long tah anih te poci sak ham a mae uh.
Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him, and so were the prominent leaders among the people.
48 Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
But they could not figure out what to do, for all the people were hanging on his every word as they listened to him.
