Matthai 10
1 A hnukbang hlainit te a khue tih amih te, rhalawt mueihla, haek sak ham, tlohtat boeih neh tlohnat boeih te hoeih sak ham saithainah a paek.
And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power to expel unclean spirits, and to cure diseases and maladies of every kind.
2 Te vaengah caeltueih hlainit kah a ming tah he rhoek he ni. Lamhma ah, Peter la a khue Simon neh a mana Andrew, Zebedee capa James neh a mana Johan,
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: The first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip neh Bartholomew, Thomas neh mangmucoi Matthai, Alphaeus capa James neh Taddaeus,
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James, son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Kanaan Simon neh amah aka voei Judah Iskariot.
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.
5 Jesuh loh hlainit rhoek te a tueih ham a uen vaengah, “Namtom rhoek kah longpuei ah pongpa uh boeh, Samaria khopuei khuila kun uh boeh.
These twelve Jesus commissioned, instructing them, and saying: Go not away to the Gentiles, nor enter a Samaritan city;
6 Tedae Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci rhoek taengah mah cet uh.
but go directly to the lost sheep of the stock of Israel.
7 Aka cet rhoek loh, 'Vaan ram yoei coeng, 'tila thui lamtah hoe uh.
And as you go, proclaim, saying, The Reign of Heaven approaches.
8 Tattloel rhoek te hoeih sak uh, aka duek thoh uh, hmaibae cing sak uh, rhaithae te haek uh, a yoe la na dang uh te a yoe la pae uh.
Heal the sick, raise the dead; cleanse lepers, expel demons; freely they have received, freely give.
9 Na cihin khuiah sui, ngun, rhohum te kaelh uh boeh.
Put not gold or silver, or brass in your girdles;
10 Longpueng hamla sungsa, angki yungnit, khokhom conghol khuen uh boeh. Bibikung tah amah caak te a om pah tueng.
carry no traveling bag, no spare coat, shoes, or staff; for the workman is worthy of his maintenance.
11 Mebang khopuei neh vangca khuiah na kun uh vaengah, “Te khuikah a tueng la aka om te toem uh lamtah na voei hlan duela naeh uh dae.
And whatever city or village you enter, inquire what person of worth dwells there; and abide with him until you leave the place.
12 Im khuila na kun vaengah toidal uh.
When you enter the home, salute the family.
13 Aka koih imkhui ni a om van atah nangmih kah ngaimongnah loh thoeng thil saeh. Tedae a tueng la a om pawt atah nangmih kah ngaimongnah te nangmih taengah ha bal saeh.
If the family be worthy, the peace you wish them shall come upon them: if they be not worthy, it shall rebound upon yourselves.
14 Nangmih te n'doe pawt tih nangmih kah ol a hnatun pawt te tah, te imkhui khaw, khopuei khaw voelh na caeh vaengah na kho kah tangdik te khoek pah uh.
Wheresoever they will not receive you, nor regard your words, in departing that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, “Laitloeknah khohnin ah Sodom neh Gomorrah kho pataeng tekah khopuei lakah phoeng pueng ni.
Indeed, I say to you, the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment, than the condition of that city.
16 Uithang lakli ah tu bangla kai loh nangmih kan tueih ne. Te dongah rhul bangla cueih khueh lamtah vahu bangla caepakyik la om uh.
Behold! I send you forth as sheep amidst wolves. Be therefore prudent as the serpents, and harmless as the doves.
17 Hlang rhoek te ngaithuen uh, nangmih te khoboei rhoek taengla n'thak uh ni. Te vaengah nangmih te tunim ah m'bohuh ni.
But be upon your guard against these men; for they will deliver you to councils, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 Kai kongah khoboei rhoek neh manghai rhoek hmailah n'khuen uh ni. Amih taeng neh namtom rhoek taengah laipai la na om uh ni.
and you shall be brought before governors and kings, on my account, to bear testimony to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 Tedae nangmih te n'thak uh vaengah balae, metlam lae na thui eh ti mawn uh boeh. Amah a tue vaengah na thui uh koi nangmih taengah m'paek bitni.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how, or what you shall speak; for what you shall speak shall be suggested to you in that moment.
20 Te rhoek aka voek la na om uh moenih. Tedae Na Pa kah Mueihla loh nangmih khuiah a thui bitni.
For it shall not be you that shall speak; but the Spirit of my Father, who will speak by you.
21 Manuca loh manuca, a napa loh a ca te dueknah dongah a voeih ni. Ca rhoek long khaw a manu napa te a tingtoeh vetih a duek sak ni.
Then the brother will deliver up the brother to death; and the father the child; and children will arise against their parents, and procure their death.
22 Kai ming dongah hlang boeih kah a hmuhuet la na om uh ni. Tedae a bawtnah duela aka ueh tah daem ni.
And for my name you shall be hated universally. But the man who perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
23 He kah kho ah ni nangmih te n'hnaemtaek uh atah a tloe la rhaelrham uh. Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, hlang capa ha pawk hlan atah Israel khopuei rhoek te na tluek uh mueh mahpawh.
Therefore, when they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of Man be come.
24 Hnukbang he saya soah a om moenih, sal khaw a boei soah a om moenih.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 Hnukbang te a saya bangla, sal loh a boei bangla a om mah rhoeh coeng. Imkung te Beelzeboul a phoei thil uh atah a imko ngawn tah bahoeng nah.
It is enough for the disciple to be as his teacher, and for the servant to be as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 Te dongah amih te rhih uh boeh. Muekdah la aka om te pumphoe mueh pawt tih a huephael te a ming mueh moenih.
Therefore, fear them not; for there is nothing hid that shall not be detected; nothing secret that shall not be known.
27 A hmuep ah kan thui te vangnah khuiah thui. Na hna ah na yaak te imphu soah hoe uh.
What I tell you in the dark, publish in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the house tops.
28 Pum aka ngawn rhoek te rhih uh boeh. Tedae hinglu a ngawn thai moenih. Pum neh hinglu boktlap la hell ah aka poci sak thai te mah rhih uh. (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them you kill the body, but can not kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Vahnup phiknit te pe la a yoih moenih a? Tedae na Pa pawt koinih te rhoek khuikah pakhat pataeng lai ah tla mahpawh.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet neither of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30 Nangmih lu kah sam pataeng boeih a tae la om coeng.
Nay, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Te dongah rhih uh boeh. Nangmih tah vahnup lakah muep na tiing uh ta.
Fear not, then; you are much more valuable than sparrows.
32 Te dongah hlangping hmaiah kai aka ming hlang boeih tah vaan kah a Pa hmaiah anih te ka ming van ni.
Whoever, therefore, shall acknowledge me before men, him will I also acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
33 Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt te tah vaan kah a pa hmaiah anih te ka hnawt van ni.
But whoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father, who is in heaven.
34 Diklai ah ngaimongnah khuen hamla ka pawk tila poek uh boeh. Ngaimongnah ham pawt tih cunghang muk ham ni ka pawk coeng.
Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth. I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Kai tah hlang pakhat neh a napa, a canu neh a manu, a langa neh a mani phihrha ham ni ka pawk.
For I am come to cause dissension between father and son, between mother and daughter, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
36 Hlang kah rhal tah a imkhui ah om ni.
so that a man's enemies will be found in his own family.
37 Kai lakah a manu neh a napa aka lungnah te tah kai neh aka tiing la om pawh. Kai lakah a capa neh a canu aka lungnah te khaw kai neh aka tiing la a om moenih.
He who loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. He who loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
38 A thinglam a koh kolla ka hnukah aka bang te tah kai neh aka tiing la a om moenih.
He who will not take his cross and follow me, is not worthy of me.
39 Amah kah hinglu aka hmutah poci vetih, kai kongah a hinglu aka poci loh te te a hmuh ni.
He who preserves his life, shall lose it: but he who loses his life, on my account, shall preserve it.
40 Nangmih aka doe tah kai ni n'doe. Kai aka doe long khaw kai aka tueih te a doe.
He that receives you, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him who sent me, receives him who sent me.
41 Tonghma ming neh tonghma aka doe tah tonghma kah thapang te a dang ni. Hlang dueng ming neh hlang dueng aka doe tah hlang dueng kah thapang te a dang van ni.
He that receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, shall obtain a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward:
42 Hnukbang ming neh tuiding boengloeng khat ca he kah a yit khuiah pakhat aka tul te tah, nangmih taengah rhep kan thui coeng, a thapang te yoe loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
and whosoever shall give one of these little ones, because he is my disciple, a single cup of cold water to drink; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
