Matthai 8
1 Tlang lamkah a suntlak vaengah anih te hlangping loh muep a vai uh.
Large crowds followed Jesus once he'd come down from the mountain.
2 Te vaengah hmaibae aka khueh loh tarha ham paan. Te vaengah a bawk doela, “Boeipa na ngaih atah, kai nan cim sak thai,” a ti nah.
A leper approached him and bowed down, worshiping him, and said, “Lord, if you're willing, please heal me.”
3 Te dongah kut a yueng tih a taek phoeiah, “Ka ngaih, cimcaih pai saeh,” a ti nah tih hmaibae te pahoi cing.
Jesus reached out and touched him with his hand. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy.
4 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Na thui pawt ham ngaithuen, tedae namah te cet lamtah khosoih taengah tueng. Amih taengah laipainah ham tah Moses loh a uen kutdoe te nawn,” a ti nah.
“Make sure you don't tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
5 Te phoeiah Kapernaum la a kun hatah, rhalboei loh a taengla a paan.
When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came up to him, begging for help,
6 Jesuh te a hloep tih, “Boeipa ka ca aka khawn he mat tlo tih im ah yalh,” a ti nah.
“Lord, my servant is at home, lying down, unable to move. He's in terrible agony.”
7 Te vaengah anih te, “Kamah ka lo vetih anih te ka hoeih sak bitni,” a ti nah.
“I will come and heal him,” Jesus replied.
8 Rhalboei loh a doo tih, “Boeipa ka imphu hmuiah na kun khaw koihvaih la ka om moenih, na ol neh dawk thui mai, ka ca te hoeih bitni.
The centurion answered, “Lord, I don't merit a visit to my home. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 Kai khaw saithainah hmuikah hlang ni, kai hmuiah khaw rhalkap rhoek om van. Te dongah pakhat te, “Cet,” ka ti nah atah cet mai. A tloe te khaw, “Lo lah,” ka ti nah vaengah ha lo mai. Ka sal te khaw he he saii ka ti nah atah a saii ta,” a ti nah.
For I am myself under the authority of superiors, while I also have soldiers under my command. I command one, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I command another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah a ngaihmang tih aka vai rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui Israel khuiah ka hmuh vaengah tangnah heyet a om moenih.
When Jesus heard what he said, he was astonished. He told those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I haven't found this kind of trust anywhere in Israel.
11 Te dongah ni, 'Khocuk neh khotlak lamkah loh muep a paan uh vetih, Abraham, Isaak, Jakob neh vaan ram ah ngolhlung uh ni, 'tila nangmih taengah kan thui.
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 Tedae ram kah a ca tah poengben kah yinnah khuila a haek uh ni. Te ah te rhah neh no rhuengnah om ni,” a ti nah.
But the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into utter darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
13 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh rhalboei te, “Cet, Na tangnah bangla nang soah om saeh,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue ah a ca te khaw hoeih.
Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go home. Because you trusted that it would happen, what you asked for has been done.” The servant was healed right away.
14 Jesuh tah Peter im la pawk. Te vaengah Peter masae te tlo tih a yalh te a hmuh.
When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, he saw that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
15 Te vaengah a kut te a taek pah hatah anih te satloh loh a hlah. Te dongah thoo tih Jesuh te a doedan.
He touched her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began making him a meal.
16 Hlaem a pha vaengah, rhaithae aka kaem rhoek te Jesuh taengla muep a khuen uh. Te vaengah mueihla te ol neh a haek tih tloh aka khueh rhoek te boeih a hoeih sak.
When evening came they brought many who were demon-possessed to Jesus. He made the spirits leave at his command, and he healed all those who were sick.
17 Tonghma Isaiah loh a thui tih, “Mamih kah vawtthoeknah he a loh tih tlohtat khaw a phueih coeng,” a ti te soep tangloeng.
This fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah said: “He healed our diseases, and freed us from our illnesses.”
18 Jesuh loh a taengvai kah hlangping te a hmuh vaengah rhalvangan la caeh ham ol a paek.
When Jesus saw the crowds around him, he gave instructions that they should go to the other side of the lake.
19 Te vaengah cadaek pakhat loh ham paan tih, “Saya, mela na caeh akhaw, kam vai ni,” a ti nah.
One of the religious teachers approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
20 Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Metang rhoek tah a khui a khueh uh tih vaan kah vaa rhoek khaw a bu a khueh. Tedae hlang capa tah a lu a tloeng nah te khueh pawh,” a ti nah.
“Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he can lie down and rest,” Jesus told him.
21 A tloe a hnukbang loh a taengah, “Boeipa kai tah lamhma la n' caeh sak lamtah a pa te ka vuei dae eh,” a ti nah.
Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Kai m'vai laeh, amamih aka duek puei vuei ham tah aka duek puei taengah hlah pah nawn,” a ti nah.
“Follow me. Leave the dead to bury their own dead,” Jesus replied.
23 Jesuh te lawng khuila a kun vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh a vai uh.
Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
24 Te vaengah hlipuei loh tuili soah tarha hli tih, tuiphu loh lawng te dalhdalh a khup. Te vaengah Jesuh tah ip.
A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on sleeping.
25 Te dongah amah te a paan uh phoeiah a thoh uh tih, “Boeipa n'khang lah m'poci uh coeng he,” a ti nahuh.
The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
26 Tedae amih te, “Uepvawt rhoek Balae tih rhalyawp la na om uh?,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, thoo tih khohli neh tuipuei te a ho hatah suepduem la boeih om.
“Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything was absolutely calm.
27 Hlang rhoek khaw a ngaihmang uh tih, “Anih he metlam nim a om? Khohli neh tuipuei long pataeng a ol a ngai pah,” a ti uh.
The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
28 Jesuh te rhalvangan kah Gadarenes kho la pawk. Te vaengah rhaithae aka kaem rhoi tah anih doe hamla phuel khui lamkah loh ha moe rhoi. Rhai thakbat tih te kah longpuei ah pakhat khaw khumpael thai pawh.
When he arrived on the other side, in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men came out of the graveyard to meet him. They were so dangerous that nobody dared to travel that way.
29 Te vaengah tah tarha pang rhoi tih, “Pathen Capa, kaimih rhoi taeng neh nang taengah balae aka om? A tuetang hlanah kaimih rhoi phaep ham nim hela na pawk dae? a ti rhoi.
They shouted out, “What have you got to do with us, you Son of God? Have you come to torture us before our time?”
30 Amih taeng lamloh a lakhla la om tih ok hui muep luem.
In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 Te dongah rhaithae rhoek loh Jesuh te a hloep uh tih, “Kaimih he nan haek atah, ok hui kah a khuila kaimih n'tueih mai,” a ti nah.
The demons pleaded with him, “If you're going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 Te vaengah amih te, “Cet uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah te rhoek te ok khuila kun uh. Te vaengah ok hui boeih tah laengpoeng lamloh tuili la voek cu tih tui khuiah duek uh.
“Go!” said Jesus. The demons left the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd ran down the steep hillside into the sea and drowned.
33 Ok vuelh rhoek te yong uh tih khopuei khuila kun uh. Rhaithae aka kaem rhoi kah a kawng te khaw a sikim la puen uh.
The pig herders ran away. They went to the town and told the people there everything that had taken place, and what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34 Te dongah kho pum loh Jesuh doenah la pawk cet uh. Amah te a hmuh uh vaengah amih vaang lamloh thoeih ham a hloep uh.
The whole town came out to meet Jesus. When they found him, they begged him to leave their district.
