Luka 9
1 Hnukbang hlainit te a hueh tih rhaithae te boeih khulae tih tlohtat hoeih sak ham amih taengah thaomnah neh saithainah a paek.
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2 Te phoeiah Pathen ram hoe ham neh tattloel hoeih sak ham a tueih.
He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 Te vaengah amih te, “Longpueng ham cunghol, sungsa, vaidam neh tangka khaw khuen uh boeh. Angki khaw yung nit khuen boeh.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
4 Im te na kun thil coeng atah, na naeh uh to vetih te lamlohna nong uh mako.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
5 Tedae nangmih aka doe pawt te tah kho lamkah na nong vaengah na kho dongah tangdik te, amih aka laipai thil ham khoek pa uh,” a ti nah.
As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
6 Te dongah aka cet rhoek loh kho tom a hil uh tih olthangthen a thui phoeiah khotomrhali ah tloh a hoeih sakuh.
They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
7 Aka om hno boeih te khoboei Herod loh a yaak vaengah sut hit. A ngen loh, “Johan te duek lamkah thoo coeng.
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
8 A ngen bal loh, “Elijah phoe coeng te, “a tloe rhoek long tah, “Khosuen kah tonghma khat khat ni aka thoo coeng te,” a ti uh.
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
9 Tedae Herod loh, “Johan te ka rhaih coeng dae ulae aka om tih a thang vawk ka yaak he,” a ti tih amah hmuh ham a toem.
Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
10 Caeltueih rhoek a bal uh vaengah amamih kah a saii uh boeih te Jesuh taengah a thui uh. Te phoeiah amih te a khuen tih Bethsaida a ti uh kho la amah bueng vil vi uh.
The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
11 Tedae anih aka vai hlangping loh a ming coeng dongah, amih te a doe tih Pathen ram kawng te amih ham a thui pah. Te vaengah hoeihnah aka ngoe rhoek khaw a hoeih sak.
But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12 Khohnin loh a khum thuk vaengah hlainit rhoek loh amah te a paan tih, “Hlangping he tueih pawn sih, te daengah ni a taengvai kah kho neh lohma la cet vetih a pah nah ham neh buham khaw a dang uh eh. Khosoek hmuen ah ni ng'om uh he,” a ti uh.
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
13 Tedae hnukbang rhoek te, “Amih kah a caak ham te nangmih loh pae uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amih loh, “He Pilnam pum ham caak aka lai la ka cet uh pawt koinih, vaidam panga neh nga panit lakah aka yet te kaimih taengah om voel pawh,” a ti uh.
But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
14 Te vaengah hlang thawngnga tluk om uh. Tedae a hnukbang rhoek te, “Amih te a boel pakhat ah hlang sawmnga tluk rhip ngol sak,” a ti nah.
For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 Te dongah a saii uh van tih boeih a ngol sakuh.
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Te phoeiah vaidam panga neh nga panit te a loh. Vaan la oeloe tih a uem phoeiah a aeh tih hlangping te patoeng paek hamla hnukbang rhoek taengah a paek.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 A caak uh tih boeih a hah uh phoeiah a coih a nueipil te voh hlainit la a phueih uh.
They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
18 A tue loh a pha vaengah thangthui neh amah bueng om tih hnukbang rhoek loh anih te a puei uh. Te vaengah amih te a dawt tih, “Hlangping loh kai he ulae a ti uh?” a ti nah.
As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 A doo uh tih, “Hlangvang loh tuinuem Johan, Elijah, hlangvang bal loh khosuen kah tonghma pakhat khat koep thoo,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
They answered, “‘John the Baptiser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 Te phoeiah amamih te, “Nangmih long tah kai he ulae na ti uh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Peter loh a doo tih, “Pathen kah Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 Tedae amih te a ho tih te te thui pawt ham a uen.
But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 Hlang Capa tah a muep a patang ham a kuek. Te dongah patong rhoek, khosoihham rhoek, neh cadaek rhoek loh a hnawt uh vetih a ngawn uh ni. Tedae a thum hnin ah thoo ni,” a ti nah.
saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
23 Amih boeih te khaw, “Khat khat long ni ka hnukah lo ham a ngaih atah, amah te hnawt uh saeh lamtah, a thinglam a koh doela hnin takuem ah kai m'vai van saeh.
He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
24 A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih te tah a hingnah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah hinglu aka poci long tah a hingnah a khang ni.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
25 Hlang loh Diklai pum a dang dae amah poci uh tih a sungdaeh atah balae a hoeikhang eh?
For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
26 Kai neh ka ol he aka yah puei te tah capa kah, pa kah, a cim puencawn rhoek kah thangpomnah neh ha pawk vaengah hlang capa loh anih te a yah puei ni.
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
27 Tedae nangmih taengah rhep kan thui. Hekah aka pai khuiah hlangvang om. Amih loh Pathen kah ram he a ming uh hlan atah dueknah te ten uh mueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
28 He kah olka a poeng phoeikah hnin rhet tluk ah, Peter, Johan neh James te a khuen tih tlang la thangthui ham a caeh puei.
About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
29 A thangthui vaengah a maelhmai kah a mueimae loh a tloe la om tih a pueinak te a bok la khooi.
As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
30 Te vaengah hlang panit loh anih te tarha a voek rhoi. Amih rhoi tah Moses neh Elijah ni.
Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
31 Amih rhoi tah thangpomnah neh phoe rhoi tih a Sunglatnah te a thui rhoi. Te te Jerusalem ah soep sak ham om coeng.
who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Tedae Peter neh a taengkah rhoi tah a ih neh bakba a hap uh tih om uh. A haenghang uh vaengah a thangpomnah te a hmuh uh tih a taengah hlang panit ana pai pah.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
33 Amih rhoi te Jesuh taeng lamloh a khoe uh phoeiah Peter loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah he mamih ng'om uh ham then, dap pathum ah tuk uh sih, namah ham pakhat, Moses ham pakhat, Elijah ham pakhat saeh,” a ti nah tih a thui nawn te khaw ming pawh.
As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
34 Te te a a thui vaengah muei yal tih amih te a dah. Te dongah muei khuila a kun uh te khaw a rhih uh.
While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
35 Muei khui lamkah ol ha thoeng tih, “Anih tah ka tuek ka ca ni, a ol hnatun pa uh,” a ti.
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
36 Ol a thui bawt ah Jesuh tah amah bueng te tueng. Amih khaw kam a khuem uh tih te khohnin ah a hmuh uh te puen uh pawh.
When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37 Hnin at om tih a vuen ah amih te tlang lamloh suntla uh. Te vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a doe.
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
38 Te vaengah hlang pakhat te hlangping khui lamloh tarha pang tih, “Saya, kai ham tah khueh duen la a om dongah, ka capa te nan paelki ham kam bih.
Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
39 Anih te mueihla loh a tuuk tarha vaengah tah buengrhuet pang tih, tolhom neh suvaih. Anih te mat a ngawn a thaeh daengah a mael tak.
Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
40 Mueihla aka haek la na hnukbang rhoek te ka hloep dae coeng thai pawh,” a ti nah.
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
41 Te dongah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Aka tangnahmueh neh pamdah cadil aw, nangmih taengah mevaeng hil nim ka om vetih nangmih te ka yaknaem ve? Na capa te he la han thak,” a ti nah.
Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
42 A taengla ham paan vaengah camoe te rhaithae loh a voeih dongah thuen pueng. Tedae Jesuh loh mueihla thae te a ho daengah, camoe te hoeih tih a napa taengla a mael.
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 Te dongah Pathen kah a lennah soah boeih let uh tih, a hnukbang rhoek taengkah a thui neh a saii boeih soah boeih a ngaihmang uh.
They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 Te vaengah, “He kah ol he na hna ah namamih loh dueh uh. Hlang capa tah hlang kut ah voeih ham cai coeng,” a ti nah.
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
45 Tedae he olthui he a mangvawt uh. Te te a hmuhming pawt ham ni amih ham a phah la om coeng. Te dongah he olthui he amah dawt ham a rhih uh.
But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Tedae amamih khuiah ulae tanglue la aka om eh tila amamih khuiah poeknah a kun pah.
An argument arose amongst them about which of them was the greatest.
47 Jesuh loh amih thinko poeknah te a hmuh dongah camoe a loh tih amah taengah a pai sak.
Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
48 Te vaengah, “He camoe he ka ming neh aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Ka tueih aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Nangmih boeih lakli ah a diknoi la kho aka sa tah tanglue la om ni,” a ti nah.
and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least amongst you all, this one will be great.”
49 Johan loh a doo tih, “Boeipa, nang ming neh rhaithae aka haek hlang pakhat ka hmuh uh. Tedae mamih taengah a bang pawt dongah anih te ka paa sak uh,” a ti nah.
John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
50 Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Paa sak uh boeh, nangmih kah a kingkalh la aka om pawt te tah nangmih ham ni a om,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
51 A lueinah khohnin te a paan tom coeng dongah Jesuh tah Jerusalem la caeh ham a maelhmai a hooi.
It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
52 Te dongah puencawn rhoek te a hmai ah a tueih. Te vaengah cet uh tih Jesuh ham aka rhuengphong la Samaria kho khuila kun uh.
and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
53 Tedae Jerusalem la cet tih a maelhmai tueng ham a om dongah anih te doe uh pawh.
They didn’t receive him, because he was travelling with his face set towards Jerusalem.
54 A hnukbang James neh Johan loh a hmuh rhoi vaengah, “Boeipa, vaan lamkah hmai suntlak sak ham neh amih hlawp sak ham khue na ngaih a?” a ti nah rhoi.
When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
55 A mael thil tih amih rhoi te a ho.
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 Te dongah kho tloe la vik cet uh.
For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
57 Long ah a caeh uh vaengah hlang pakhat loh, “Mela na caeh akhaw nang kam vai ni,” a ti nah.
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
58 Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Metang loh a khui, vaan kah vaa long khaw bu a khuehuh. Tedae hlang capa tah lu a tloeng nah khaw khueh pawh,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59 Te phoeiah a tloe taengah, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah. Tedae, te long te, “Boeipa, a pa up ham lamhma la kai n'caeh sak mai,” a ti nah.
He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Tedae anih te, “Aka duek rhoek up ham aka duek rhoek te hlah pah. Tedae nang tah cet lamtah Pathen kah ram te doek ngawn,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
61 Te phoeiah pakhat long khaw, “Nang kam vai van ni Boeipa, tedae kai tah ka im kah rhoek te lamhma la m'phih sak dae,” a ti nah.
Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
62 Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Laithol cung te kut a tloeng thil tih a hnuk la aka dan pawt ni Pathen kah ram ham aka ting la a om,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
