Luka 12
1 Hlangping a thawng a sang te tingtun uh tih khat neh khat taelh uh thae. Lamhma kah a hnukbang rhoek te, “Tolrhu te na ngaithuen uh mako, te tah Pharisee kah thailatnah ni.
In the mean time, when the multitude was gathered together in myriads, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Te dongah phah la aka om te tah pumphoe mueh pawt tih a huephael te khaw a ming mueh moenih.
But there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known.
3 Te yueng la a hmuep ah na thui uh te vangnah khuiah a yaak ni. Imkhui kah a hna ah na thui uh te khaw imphu ah a hoe ni.
Therefore, whatever ye have said in darkness, will be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets, will be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
4 Ka paya rhoek nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Pumsa te a ngawn uh dae, te phoeiah saithainah pakhat khaw aka khueh pawt te rhih uh boeh.
And I say to you my friends, Fear not those who kill the body, and after this can do nothing more.
5 Tedae na rhih uh te kan tueng eh. Pum te a ngawn phoeiah hell la voeih ham saithainah aka khueh te rhihuh. Ue ta, nangmih taengah anih la rhih uh ka ti loel. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you whom to fear; fear him who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Vahnup phiknga te pe hnih la a yoih uh moenih a? Te rhoek te pakhat khaw Pathen hmaiah a hmaai a om moenih.
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 Na lu kah sam pataeng boeih a tae coeng. Rhih uh boeh, vahnup lakah muep na tiing uh ngai.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Nangmih taengah ka thui, kai kawng he hlang hmaiah aka phong boeih te tah hlang capa loh anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah a phong van ni.
And I say to you, Every one that acknowledgeth me before men, him will the Son of man also acknowledge before the angels of God.
9 Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt tah Pathen puencawn rhoek hmaiah ka huek uh tak ni.
But he that hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Hlang capa te ol aka tha thil boeih te tah tholh a hlah pah pueng ni. Tedae Cim Mueihla taengah aka soehsal te tah tholh hlah pah mahpawh.
And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but to him that hath blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 Nangmih te tunim la, boeilu rhoek neh saithainah aka khueh taengla n'khuen uh ni. Te vaengah metla na huul uh vetih ba na thui uh ham khaw mawn uh boeh.
And when they bring you to the synagogues and the magistrates and the authorities, be not anxious as to how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
12 Thui ham a kuek te tah amah tue vaengah Cim Mueihla loh nangmih n'thuituen bitni,” a ti nah.
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
13 Hlangping khuikah pakhat loh Jesuh te, “Saya, ka manuca te thui pah lamtah kai hamla rho ham paek,” a ti nah.
And one from the multitude said to him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
14 Tedae Jesuh loh anih te, “Ka hlang aw, nangmih rhoi soah laitloekkung ham neh tultaelkung la u long kai n'tuek,” a ti nah.
But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Te phoeiah amih te, “Halhkanah te boeih hmuming uh lamtah cueuh. A khuehtawn om dae a hingnah pakhat khaw a cawt moenih,” a ti nah.
And he said to them, Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for even when one hath great abundance, his life doth not depend upon his possessions.
16 Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah a thui tih, “Kuirhang hlang pakhat kah lo te cang a thawt pah.
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
17 Tedae amah khuiah a poek tih, 'Ka cang thaih he, ka tung nah ka khueh pawt dongah banim ka saii lah ve,’ a ti.
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not where to store my crops.
18 Te phoeiah, 'He tla ka saii eh?, ka khai te ka phae vetih a len la ka saii eh?, te ah te ka cang neh ka koe te boeih ka tung eh.
And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my crops and my goods;
19 Te phoeiah ka hinglu te, 'Ka hinglu nang, kum a sen ham koe muep na khueh coeng dongah duem lamtah, ca lamtah, o lamtah, uum laeh, ' ka ti nah ni,’ a ti.
and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Tedae anih te Pathen loh, 'Hlang ang, tu khoyin ah na hinglu te nang taeng lamkah loh a lat pawn ni. Tahae kah na hmoel te uham nim a om ve?' a ti nah.
But God said to him, Fool! this night will thy soul he required of thee; and whose will those things be which thou hast laid up?
21 Te dongah anih loh amah ham a tung dae a khuehtawn loh Pathen taengla a pawk puei moenih,” a ti nah.
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “He dongah ni nangmih taengah ka thui, na caak uh te khaw, pum dongah na bai uh ham te khaw, na hinglu mawn sak uh boeh.
And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 hinglu tah buh lakah, pum he khaw himbai lakah olpuei la om.
The life is more than its food, and the body than its raiment.
24 Vangak ke poek uh lah, tuh uh pawt tih at uh pawh, a im khaw, khai khaw khueh uh pawt dae Pathen loh amih te a khut. Nangmih tah vaa lakah muep na olpuei uh.
Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them. Of how much greater value are ye than the birds!
25 Nangmih khuiah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong at khaw aka cong thil thai?
And who of you can by anxious thought add a cubit to his life?
26 A yit dongah na coeng uh pawt atah, ba ham lae a tloe dongah na mawn uh.
If then ye cannot do even that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
27 Hmat uh lah, rhaipai ke metlam a rhoeng, thakthae pawt tih cunghmui khaw hnuk pawh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka thui, Solomon loh a thangpomnah boeih neh rhaipai pakhat banglam pataeng a bai sak moenih.
Consider the lilies, that they neither spin nor weave; and yet I say to you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
28 Tihnin ah om tih thangvuen ah hmailing khuila a phum lohma kah khopol pataeng Pathen loh a thoeihcam atah nangmih te muep na uepvawt aih mai
But if God so clothes the herbage in the field, which is to-day, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith!
29 Te dongah nangmih loh na caak ham neh na ok te toem uh boeh uepvawt uh boeh.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; and be not of a doubtful mind.
30 Diklai namtom boeih loh te te a tlapuh. Tedae nangmih kah na kuek te pa loh a ming coeng.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 A ram te tlap uh dae lamtah tekah te nangmih ham han thap bitni.
But rather seek his kingdom, and these things will also be given you.
32 A ram te nangmih paek ham na pa a lung a tlun coeng dongah, tuping ca aw, birhih boeh.
Fear not, little flock! for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Na khuehtawn te yoi uh lamtah, doedannah la pae uh, aka rhuem pawh sungkoi te namamih ham saiiuh. khohrhang he vaan ah tah cueng. Te ah te hlanghuen loh muk pawt tih, keet long khaw phae pawh.
Sell what ye have, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which wax not old, treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, nor moth destroyeth.
34 Na khohrhang a om nah ah na thinko khaw pahoi om ni.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Na pumpu te yen tangtae la om saeh lamtah hmaiim khaw vang saeh.
Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
36 Te phoeiah yuluei kung lamkah aka bal a boeipa aka lamtawn hlang rhoek bangla na om uh mako. Te daengah ni ha lo tih a khoek vaengah anih ham pahoi a ong pa thai eh.
and be yourselves like men waiting for the return of their lord from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
37 Boei ha lo vaengah hmuh hamla aka hueltue rhoek tah sal yoethen ni. Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amih te cihin a vaep tih a ngolhlung dongah aka pongpa rhoek loh amih te a khut.
Happy are those servants, whom their lord when he cometh shall find watching; truly do I say to you, that he will gird himself, and place them at table, and will come and wait on them.
38 Pathum, pabae la ha pawk vaengah aka tawt te a hmuh tangloeng dongah amih tah yoethen la om uh.
And if in the second, or if in the third watch, he cometh and findeth them thus, happy are they.
39 Tedae he he ming uh, hlanghuen ha pawk nah khonoek te imkung loh ming koinih, a im te muk hamla hlah sut pawt sue.
And be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Te dongah nangmih loh sikim la om uh, hlang capa tah na poek uh pawt tue ah ni ha pawk eh?,” a ti nah.
Be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not the Son of man cometh.
41 Peter loh, “Boeipa, he nuettahnah he kaimih ham a? Hlang boeih ham khaw na thui a?” a ti nah.
And Peter said to him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?
42 Boeipa loh, “Unim uepom neh aka cueih hnokhoem la aka om van? Boeipa loh anih te a imlo soah a tue a tang neh maehham aka tael la a khueh ni.
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful, the wise steward, whom his lord will place over his household, to give the portion of food in due season?
43 Tekah sal tah a yoethen, a saii te a Boeipa ha pawk vaengah a hmuh pah van ni.
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a khuehtawn boeih soah anih ni a ngol sak eh.
I say to you in truth, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.
45 Tedae tekah sal loh a thinko khuiah, 'Ka boeipa ha pawk ham tah koe pueng ni,” a ti. Te dongah salnu camoe te koe a boh tih a caak, a ok neh rhui.
But if that servant say in his heart, My lord is long in coming; and begin to beat the men-servants and maid-servants, and to eat and drink and be drunken,
46 Sal kah a boei tah a lamtawn mueh khohnin neh a ming mueh a tue vaengah ha pawk koinih, anih te a tloek vetih a paihmuen te aka tangnahmuen rhoek taengla a khueh pah ni.
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Tekah sal loh a Boeipa kah kongaih a ming dae, rhuengphong pawt tih amah kongaih bangla a saii dongah a boh dahlawt ni.
And that servant who knew his lord's will, and did not make ready, nor do according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes;
48 Tedae aka ming pawt loh a saii atah nganboh a yook ham tueng te a yool ni a boh eh. A yet a paek hlang boeih te tah a taengah a yet a toem pah vetih, muep a paek hlang taengah khaw muep a hoe pah ni.
but he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.
49 Diklai dongah hmai pak hamla ka pawk coeng dongah, metla hlae oepsoeh cakhaw ka ngaih mai coeng.
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I wish, if it hath been already kindled?
50 Baptistma khaw nuem hamla ka om pueng tih, ka coeng hlan atah metlamnim n'nan ve.
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how is my soul troubled, till it be accomplished!
51 Diklai ah rhoepnah paek ham ka pawk tila na poek uh a? Moenih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, paekboenah ham dae ni he.
Think ye that I came to give peace in the earth? I tell you, nay, but rather division.
52 Tahae lamkah longtah im pakhat ah panga la paek uh thae vetih, panit pathum, panit pathum ah om uh ni.
For from this time forth five in one house will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Pa neh capa, capa neh pa, manu neh canu, canu neh manu, mani neh a langa, langa neh mani paekboe uh ni,” a ti nah.
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Te phoeiah hlangping te khaw, “Khotlak ah khomai a thoeng te na hmuh uh vaengah, 'Khonal ha pai ni, 'pahoi na ti uh tih pai tangloeng van.
And he said also to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, ye say at once, A shower is coming; and it is so;
55 Tuithim a hli vaengah, “Kholing ha pai ni,” na ti uh tih pai tangloeng.
and when ye perceive the south wind blowing, ye say, It will be hot; and it cometh to pass.
56 Hlangthai palat rhoek, diklai neh vaan kah maelhmai ke soepsoei ham na ming uh tih a tue he balae tih soepsoei ham na ming uh pawh.
Hypocrites! ye know how to judge of the face of the earth and the sky; but how is it that ye know not how to judge of this time
57 Namamih ham khaw balae tih a dueng la lai na tloek uh pawh.
And why even of yourselves do ye not judge what is right?
58 Na kocaelh neh boei taengla na caeh vaengah anih te a paa nah hamla longpueng ah bi saii laeh, laitloekkung taengla namah n'det ve. Laitloekkung loh namah te palik taengla m'voei vetih 'palik loh thongim ah n'hla ve.
When thou art going with thine adversary at law to the magistrate, take pains, while on the way, to be released by him; lest he drag thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Na taengah kan thui, mucih ca khaw boeih na thuung hlan atah te lamkah loh na loeih loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
I tell thee, Thou wilt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
