Matthai 19
1 Jesuh loh he rhoek kah ol boeih he bawt a khah phoeiah Galilee lamloh nong tih Jordan rhalvangan Judea vaang la pawk.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
2 Te vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a vai uh tih amih rhoek te pahoi a hoeih sak.
and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh tih a noemcai uh. Te vaengah, “Paelnaehnah khat khat dongah a yuu hla koinih tongpa ham tueng aya? a ti na uh.
And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “A tongcuek lamkah aka suen loh amih rhoi tongpa neh huta bueng a saii te na tae uh moenih a?
But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,
5 Tedae he kongah ni, 'tongpa loh a manu neh a napa te a imphael tak ni. Te vaengah a yuu taengah kap vetih panit te pumsa pakhat la om ni,’ a ti.
and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 Te dongah panit lo pawt tih pumsa khat coeng ni. Te dongah Pathen loh a yingyawn sak te hlang loh maa sak boel saeh,” a ti nah.
so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
7 Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Balae tih yuuhlaknah cayol te paek tih tueih ham Moses loh a uen,” a ti na uh.
They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?
8 Amih te, “Nangmih kah thinthahnah kongah ni na yuu te hlak ham te Moses loh nangmih m'paek. Tedae a tongcuek lamloh te te a om moenih.
He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
9 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, Cukhalnah kawng pawt ah a yuu a hlak tih a tloe aka lo te tah samphaih coeng,” a ti nah.
But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
10 A hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “A yuu taengah a va kah paelnaehnah om tangloeng koinih vasak te rhoei mahpawh,” a ti na uh.
His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te, “Hekah ol he hlang boeih loh a khingmong thai moenih. Tedae a paek rhoek long ni a khingmong thai.
And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
12 Manu bung lamloh hlueikhu la aka thaang te khaw om van. Hlang lamloh a hlueikhu sak hlueikhu te om. Vaan ram kongah amah aka hlueikhu, hlueikhu te khaw om. Aka khingmong thai loh khingmong saeh,” a ti nah.
for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
13 Te phoeiah amih kut tloeng tih thangthui sak ham camoe rhoek te a taengla a khuen uh. Tedae amih te hnukbang rhoek loh a ho uh.
Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Camoe rhoek te hlah uh lamtah kai taengla ha pawk ham atah amih te kanghalh uh boeh, vaan ram tah amih ham ni a om,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
15 Amih soah kut a tloeng tih te lamloh vik cet.
and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
16 Te phoeiah hlang pakhat loh Jesuh taengla pakcak a paan tih, “Saya, dungyan hingnah ka khueh ham mebang hno then nim ka saii eh,” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
17 Tedae Jesuh loh anih te, “Balae tih kai he a then kawng nan dawt? A then pakhat ni a. om. Tedae hingnah khuila kun na ngaih atah olpaek te tuem,” a ti nah.
And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Jesuh te, “Mebang nim,” a ti nah. Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Hlang ngawn boeh, samphaih boeh, huencan boeh, laithae boeh
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Na nu neh na pa hinyah lamtah na imben te namah bangla lungnah,” a ti nah.
Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Cadong loh, “He rhoek he boeih ka tuem coeng, balae ka phavawt bal pueng?” a ti nah.
The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
21 Jesuh loh anih te, “Lungcuei la om na ngaih atah cet lamtah na khuehtawn te yoi. Te phoeiah khodaeng te pae. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai pahoi m'vai,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 Tedae cadong tah hnopai muep aka khueh la a om dongah ol te a yaak vaengah kothae doeah cet.
But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
23 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, kuirhang tah vaan ram ah kun tloel ni.
And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
24 Te phoeiah nangmih taengah koep kan thui, kuirhang te Pathen ram khuiah a kun lakah kalauk te phamet khui longah a ael ke yoeikoek la om,” a ti nah.
and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
25 Hnukbang rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah let uh dahlawt tih, “Te koinih ulae khang la aka om eh?” a ti uh.
And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a sawt tih, “He he hlang taengah a tloel la om, tedae Pathen taengah boeih coeng thai,” a ti nah.
But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Te vaengah Peter loh a doo tih, “Kaimih tah rhoepsaep boeih ka toeng uh tih, namah kam vai uh coeng he. Te koinih kaimih ham balae aka om eh?” a ti nah.
Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
28 Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, nangmih loh kai nam vai uh coeng. Hlang capa tah koepcunnah dongah a thangpomnah ngolkhoel sola ngol ni. Nangmih khaw ngolkhoel hlainit soah na ngol uh vetih Israel koca hlainit te lai na tloek uh ni.
And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Kai ming kongah a im a lo boeih, manuca rhoek, ngannu rhoek, a manu napa, a ca rhoek, aka toeng boeih te tah a pueh yakhat a dang vetih dungyan hingnah a pang ni. (aiōnios g166)
And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
30 Tedae lamhma khaw hnukkhueng la, hnukkhueng khaw lamhma la muep om uh ni.
But many first shall be last, and last first.
