Luka 7
1 A ol te pilnam kah a hna ah boeih a baetawt sak phoeiah tah Kapernaum la kun.
When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Te vaengah rhalboei kah sal pakhat te tloh a khueh tih dalh duek. Anih tah a taengah a khoelh la om.
There a centurion's servant, who was highly regarded by his master, was sick and about to die.
3 A kawng a yaak coeng dongah Judah patong rhoek te Jesuh taengla a tueih tih a sal hoeih sak ham halo dae saeh tila a cael.
The centurion heard about Jesus and sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4 Te rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh phoeiah ngahngah a cael uh tih, “Anih te doedan tueng la om he,
When they came to Jesus, they earnestly pleaded with him, saying, “This man is worthy to have yoʋ do this for him,
5 mah namtu a lungnah dongah tunim te khaw anih long ni mamih ham a sak,” a ti nah.
for he loves our nation and built our synagogue for us.”
6 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh a caeh puei tih im pha ham pataeng hla voel pawh. Te vaengah rhalboei loh a puei rhoek te a tueih tih, “Boeipa, na tawnba mai pawt nim? Ka imphu ah na kun ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih.
So Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yoʋrself, for I am not worthy to have yoʋ enter under my roof;
7 Namah te kam paan ham khaw ka tueng moenih. Tedae ol kamat mah thui lamtah ka sal he hoeih bitni.
therefore I did not even consider myself worthy to come to yoʋ. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Kai khaw saithainah aka khueh hmuikah aka om hlang pakhat van ni. Kamah hmuiah rhalkap rhoek khaw om van. Te dongah pakhat te “Cet” ka ti nah tih cet, pakhat te, “Ha lo lah,” ka ti nah tih ha lo mai. Te dongah tahae kah bangla na saii pah vetih ka sal te a saii mako,” a ti nah.
For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Te te Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah a ngaihmang. Te dongah anih aka vai hlangping te a mael thil tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, Israel khuiah pataeng tangnah heyet ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at the centurion. And turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10 A tueih rhoek te im la a bal uh vaengah rhalboei kah a sal te sading la a hmuh uh.
Then the men the centurion had sent returned to the house and found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 A vuen a pha neh Nain la a khue kho pakhat la cet. Te vaengah anih te a hnukbang rhoek neh hlangping loh muep a puei uh.
Soon afterward Jesus went to a town called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, along with a large crowd.
12 Khopuei vongka neh a yoei vaengah manu pakhat tah capa khueh duen te a duek pah tih tarha hang khuen. Anih te nuhmai la om dae, khopuei kah hlangping loh anih taengah muep omuh.
As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the one and only son of his mother (who was a widow). And a large crowd from the town was with her.
13 Anih te a hmuh vaengah Boeipa loh anih soah a thinphat tih, “Rhap boeh,” a ti nah.
When the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 A paan tih rhoep te a taek vaengah aka kawt rhoek loh cawt a pai puei uh. Te phoeiah, “Cadong namah, thoo laeh ka ti,” a ti nah.
Then he came up and touched the bier, and those who were carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to yoʋ, arise!”
15 Te dongah aka duek te ngol tih pahoi cal. Te phoeiah anih te a manu taengla a paek.
So the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 Te vaengah rhihnah loh boeih a thing uh. Te dongah, “Mamih taengah tonghma puei ha thoeng coeng, Pathen loh a pilnam a hip,” a ti uh tih Pathen a thangpom uh.
Then all the people were filled with awe and began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and, “God has visited his people.”
17 Te dongah Jesuh kah ol loh Judah pum neh te rhoek pingpang boeih a pha.
This news about Jesus then spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
18 Te rhoek boeih te a hnukbang rhoek loh Johan taengla a puen pauh. Te dongah Johan loh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit te a khue.
John's disciples told him about all these things.
19 Boeipa taengla a tueih tih, “Aka pawk la na om coeng atah a tloe ka lamso pueng aya?” a ti nah.
So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask Jesus, “Are yoʋ the one who is to come, or should we wait for another?”
20 Tekah hlang rhoi loh Jesuh te a paan rhoi tih, “Tuinuem Johan loh nang taengla kaimih rhoi n'tueih tih, 'Aka pawk la na om atah a tloe ka lamso aya?' a ti,” a ti nah.
When the men came to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to yoʋ to ask, ‘Are yoʋ the one who is to come, or should we wait for another?’”
21 Te vaeng tue ah tlohtat khaw, nganboh khaw, mueihla thae muep a hoeih sak. Mikdael rhoek khaw muep a hmuh sak.
Now in that very hour Jesus had healed many people of diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and had given sight to many who were blind.
22 Te phoeiah amih te a doo tih, “Cet uh lamtah na hmuh neh na yaak te Johan taengla puen pah. Mikdael loh a hmuh coeng, aka khawn loh pongpa coeng, hmaibae khaw cing tih hnapang loh a yaak, aka duek rhoek khaw thoo uh coeng, khodaeng loh olthangthen a yaak coeng.
So Jesus replied to John's disciples, “Go tell John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Tedae kai kongah a khah pawt te tah yoethen la om,” a ti nah.
And blessed is anyone who does not take offense at me.”
24 Johan kah puencawn rhoi te a caeh phoeiah Johan kawng neh hlangping te, “Khosoek la na caeh uh vaengah balae na hmuh uh? Khohli kah a hinghuen capu a?
When John's messengers had gone away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Tedae himbai hnal neh aka phuekhlak uh hlang te hmuh ham nim na caeh uh? Rhuepom pueinak neh pumdomnah dongah kho aka sa rhoek tah manghai-im ah om uh lah ko ke.
What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and who live in luxury are in royal palaces.
26 Tedae na caeh uh te balae na hmuh uh? Tonghma a? Ue ta, nangmih taengah tonghma lakah khaw olpuei ka ti rhoe ta.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27 A kawng la a daek pah te anih ni. Ka puencawn te Nang hmai ah kan tueih. Anih long ni nang hmaikah na longpuei te a rhoekbah eh.
This is the one of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of yoʋ, who will prepare yoʋr way before yoʋ.’
28 Nangmih taengah kan thui, huta kah a cun rhoek khuiah Johan lakah aka tanglue a om moenih. Tedae Pathen ram khuiah a yit koek long pataeng anih lakah tanglue la om,” pahoi a ti nah.
For I tell you, among those born of women there is no prophet greater than John the Baptist, but whoever is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Aka ya pilnam boeih neh mangmucoi rhoek long tah Pathen te a tang sak uh tih Johan kah baptisma neh nuem uh.
(When all the people heard this, including the tax collectors, they affirmed that God's way was right, because they had been baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Tedae Pharisee rhoek neh olming rhoek long tah Pathen kah mangtaengnah te amamih ham a aal uh dongah Johan lamloh nuem uh pawh.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Te dongah tahae cadil hlang rhoek ba nen nim ka thuidoek lah vetih unim phek a loh uh he?
Jesus went on to say, “To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?
32 Hnoyoih hmuen ah ngoluh tih khat neh khat aka khue uh thae camoe rhoek phek a lohuh. Amih loh, “Nangmih ham phavi kan tum uh dae na lam uh pawh. Kan hlai uh akhaw na rhap uh pawh,” a ti uh.
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call out to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance; we sang a lament for you, but you did not weep.’
33 Tuinuem Johan ha pawk tih buh ca pawh, misur khaw a ok pawt hatah, 'Rhaithae a khueh,’ na ti uh.
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Hlang capa loh ha pawk tih a caak, a ok hatah, 'hlang khaw carhut neh yumi la he, mangmu aka coi neh hlangtholh rhoek kah a paya ni,' na ti uh.
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Tedae cueihnah loh a ca rhoek te boeih a tang sak.
Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36 Pharisee pakhat loh Jesuh te amah taengah buh ca la a cael. Te dongah Pharisee im la kun tih a vael van.
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, so he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.
37 Pharisee im ah buh a vael te kho ah aka om hlangtholh nu loh lawt a ming.
And behold, when a woman in that city who was a sinner found out that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 Te dongah botui te lungbok um dongah a khuen tih a rhah doela Jesuh kho tang ah pai. Te phoeiah Jesuh kho te mikphi neh koe a sul tih a lu sam neh a huih pah. A kho te a mok pah tih botui neh a hluk pah.
As she stood behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Anih aka khue Pharisee loh a hmuh vaengah a khuiah a toel tih, “Anih he tonghma la om koinih amah aka taek huta te, unim?, mebangnim? ti khaw a ming ni ta, hlangtholh dae ni ke,” a ti.
When the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Simon, nang taengah thui ham bet ka khueh,” a ti nah. Anih long khaw, “Thui lah saw saya,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him in response, “Simon, I have something to say to yoʋ.” So he said, “Say it, Teacher.”
41 Puhlah pakhat taengah purhong panit om tih, pakhat loh denari yanga, pakhat loh sawmnga a ba.
“A certain moneylender had two debtors. The one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other owed him fifty.
42 Tedae a thuung nah a khueh rhoi pawt dongah vik a yoe sak. Te vaengah amih rhoi khuiah ulae puhlah a lungnah ngai eh?,” a ti nah.
When they did not have the means to repay, he forgave the debts of them both. So tell me, which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon loh a doo tih, “A yet a yoe sak te ka ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Buelh na naai het coeng,” a ti nah.
Simon answered, “I suppose that it would be the one for whom he forgave the larger debt.” Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have judged correctly.”
44 Te phoeiah huta taengla mael tih Simon te, “Huta he na hmuh a? Nang im khuila ka kun dae, kai he kho silh tui nan paek moenih. Anih long tah kai kho he mikphi neh a sul tih a sam neh a huih.
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do yoʋ see this woman? When I came into yoʋr house, yoʋ did not give me water for my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Kai taengah moknah khaw nang khueh pawh, anih long tah ka kun parhi te kai kho a mok he toeng voel pawh.
Yoʋ did not give me a kiss, but from the time I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet.
46 Ka lu he situi nan hluk pawh, anih long tah ka kho he botui neh a hluk.
Yoʋ did not anoint my head with oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Te dongah ni namah taengah kan thui, anih tah tholh a yet loh a hlah coeng dongah muep a lungnah. Tedae a yool a hlah pah long te tah a yool ni a lungnah,” a ti nah.
Therefore I tell yoʋ, her many sins are forgiven; that is why she has shown great love. But he to whom little is forgiven shows little love.”
48 Te phoeiah huta te khaw, “Na tholhnah loh n'hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said to her, “Yoʋr sins are forgiven.”
49 Te vaengah aka vael rhoek loh amamih khuiah, “Tholh aka hlah pah te ulae aka om he,” pahoi a ti uh.
Those who were reclining at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this man that even forgives sins?”
50 Huta te khaw, “Na tangnah loh nang ng'khang coeng, ngaimong la cet laeh,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to the woman, “Yoʋr faith has saved yoʋ; go in peace.”
