Matthai 9
1 Te phoeiah lawng khuila kun tih, a hlaikan daengah amah kho la pawk.
And climbing into a boat, he crossed the sea, and he arrived at his own city.
2 Te vaengah khawn tih thingkong dongah aka yalh te a taengla tarha a khuen pauh. Amih kah tangnah te Jesuh loh a hmuh coeng dongah aka khawn te, “Ngaimong sak, ka ca, tholhnah loh nang n'hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Be strengthened in faith, son; your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Te vaengah cadaek rhoek khuikah hlangvang long tah amamih khuiah, “Anih loh a soehsal coeng,” tarha a ti uh.
And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, “He is blaspheming.”
4 Jesuh loh amih kah poeknah te a hmuh tih, “Balae tih na thinko khui ah a thae na poek uh.
And when Jesus had perceived their thoughts, he said: “Why do you think such evil in your hearts?
5 “Na tholh loh n'hlah coeng, 'ti ham neh, 'thoo lamtah cet,’ ti ham he, melae yoeikoek la aka om?
Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’
6 Te daengah ni diklai hmankah tholh hlah ham he hlang capa loh saithainah a khueh te na ming uh eh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah aka khawn te, “Thoo, na phak te khuen lamtah na im la cet,” a ti nah.
But, so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he then said to the paralytic, “Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”
7 Te vaengah thoo tih a im la koe cet.
And he arose and went into his house.
8 Hlangping loh a hmuh vaengah a rhih uh tih, hlang taengah hebang saithainah aka pae Pathen te a thangpom uh.
Then the crowd, seeing this, was frightened, and they glorified God, who gave such power to men.
9 Jesuh te lamkah a khum vaengah, Matthai la a khue hlang pakhat tah mangmu doenah ah a ngol te a hmuh tih, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih Jesuh taengah bang.
And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And rising up, he followed him.
10 Im khuiah a om vaengah caboei te a vael. Te vaengah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek muep tarha ha pawk uh tih Jesuh neh a hnukbang rhoek taengah a vael uh.
And it happened that, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Pharisee rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a hnukbang rhoek taengah, “Balae tih nangmih kah saya tah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek taengah a caak,” a ti nah.
And the Pharisees, seeing this, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 Tedae a yaak vaengah, “Sading rhoek loh siboei a ngoe moenih, tedae tloh aka khueh rhoek long tah a ngoe.
But Jesus, hearing this, said: “It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, but those who have maladies.
13 Cet uh lamtah metla a om khaw cang uh saw. Ka ngaih he tah rhennah ni hmueih te moenih. Aka dueng rhoek khue ham pawt tih aka tholh rhoek ham ni ka pawk,” a ti nah.
So then, go out and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the just, but sinners.”
14 Te phoeiah Johan kah hnukbang loh a a paan uh tih, “Balae tih kaimih neh Pharisee rhoek long tah vawpvawp ka yaeh uh. Tedae na hnukbang rhoek loh a yaeh uh moenih,” a ti nah.
Then the disciples of John drew near to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast frequently, but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesuh loh amih te, “Pacaboeina loh yulueihmuen te a nguek thil thai moenih. Amih a om khuiah tah yulokung loh a om puei ta. Tedae yulokung te amih taeng lamkah loh a khue tue ha pawk vaengah a yaeh uh van bitni.
And Jesus said to them: “How can the sons of the groom mourn, while the groom is still with them? But the days will arrive when the groom will be taken away from them. And then they shall fast.
16 Hni pen a cuemsok te himbai rhuem soah a bo moenih. A bawtnah ah te long te himbai ni a dueng tih a pawnnah te a thae la a om.
For no one would sew a patch of new cloth onto an old garment. For it pulls its fullness away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.
17 Misurtui a noe te tuitang rhuem khuiah a than moenih. Te pawt koinih tuitang te paeng tih misurtui khaw cae. Te vaengah tuitang khaw poci. Tedae misurtui noe te tuitang a thai dongah a than uh atah bok sueng,” a ti nah.
Neither do they pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wineskins rupture, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins. And so, both are preserved.”
18 He rhoek he amih ham a thui vaengah boei pakhat te pakcak cet tih anih te a bawk. Te phoeiah, “Ka canu he paekca ah duek dae na lo tih na kut na tloeng thil koinih hing ni,” a ti nah.
As he was speaking these things to them, behold, a certain ruler approached and adored him, saying: “Lord, my daughter has recently passed away. But come and impose your hand upon her, and she will live.”
19 Te dongah Jesuh tah thoo tih anih te a hnukbang rhoek neh a vai phai.
And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with his disciples.
20 Te vaengah kum hlainit khuiah aka thii nu loh a hnuk ah a paan tih a himbai dongkah salaw te a taek pah.
And behold, a woman, who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, approached from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
21 Amah long tah, “Jesuh kah himbai mah ka taek koinih ka hoeih ni,” a ti dongah ni.
For she said within herself, “If I will touch even his garment, I shall be saved.”
22 Jesuh te mael tih huta te a hmuh vaengah, “Ka canu na ngaimong sak, na tangnah loh nang n'khang coeng,” a ti nah. Te vaeng tue lamloh huta tah daem.
But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: “Be strengthened in faith, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Boei im la Jesuh a pawk vaengah phavi tum neh hlangping te a sarhingrhup la hmuh.
And when Jesus had arrived in the house of the ruler, and he had seen the musicians and the tumultuous crowd,
24 Te dongah, “Khoe uh lah, hula he a duek moenih, aka ip ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh te a nueih thiluh.
he said, “Depart. For the girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they derided him.
25 Tedae hlangping te a haek phoeiah kun tih a kut a tuuk pah vaengah hula te thoo.
And when the crowd had been sent away, he entered. And he took her by the hand. And the girl rose up.
26 He olthang loh tekah kho boeih te a pha.
And the news of this went out to that entire land.
27 Te lamloh Jesuh a khum vaengah mikdael panit loh a vai rhoi. Te vaengah pang rhoi tih, “David Capa kaimih rhoi n'rhen lah,” a ti rhoi.
And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Take pity on us, Son of David.”
28 Im la a pawk vaengah Jesuh te mikdael rhoi loh a paan rhoi. Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih rhoi te, “He he ka saii thai tila na tangnah rhoi a?” a ti nah hatah, “Ue, Boeipa,” a ti rhoi.
And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?” They say to him, “Certainly, Lord.”
29 Te phoeiah amih rhoi kah mik te a taek pah tih, “Nangmih rhoi kah tangnah bangla nangmih taengah om saeh,” a ti nah.
Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, so let it be done for you.”
30 Te vaengah a mik a tueng pah. Tedae Jesuh tah thanueih tih amih rhoi te, “Ngaithuen, hlang loh ming boel saeh,” a ti nah.
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, “See to it that no one knows of this.”
31 Tedae cet rhoi tih Jesuh kawng te kho tom ah a doek rhoi.
But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.
32 Amih rhoi a caeh neh rhaithae aka kaem hlang pakhat hnapang te a taengla tarha a khuen uh.
Then, when they had departed, behold, they brought him a man who was mute, having a demon.
33 Rhaithae te haek pah tih olmueh te koep cal. Te dongah hlangping tah a ngaihmang uh tih, “Israel khuiah om noek tangloeng pawh,” a ti uh.
And after the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds wondered, saying, “Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.”
34 Tedae Pharisee rhoek loh, “Rhaithae boei rhang nen ni rhaithae a haek,” a ti uh.
But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of demons does he cast out demons.”
35 Te phoeiah Jesuh tah khopuei boeih neh vangca tom la cet tih amih kah tunim ah a thuituen. Ram kah olthangthen te khaw a hoe tih tlohtat boeih neh tlohnat boeih te a hoeih sak.
And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
36 A hmuh vaengah amih hlangping ham te a thinphat. Tawnba la a om uh lalah tudawn aka om pawh tu bangla a voeih uh.
Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek te, “Cangah hamla yet ngawn dae bibikung rhoek tah yolca.
Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.
38 Te dongah cangah boeipa taengah na thangthui uh daengah ni a cangat la bibikung han tueih eh,” a ti nah.
Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.”
