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.
AND when (there) had gathered (by) myriads great assemblies, so that they would have trodden upon one another, Jeshu began to say to his disciples, Beware for yourselves before all things of the leaven of the Pharishee, which is hypocrisy.
2 Te dongah phah la aka om te tah pumphoe mueh pawt tih a huephael te khaw a ming mueh moenih.
For nothing is hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secreted which shall not be made 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.
For all that you say in darknesses in the light shall be heard, and what you whisper in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
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.
But I say to you, my beloved ones, Fear not them who kill the body, and who afterward 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 show you whom you shall fear; Him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into gihana, yes, I say to you, Fear this (one). (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 asorin; and one of them is not forgotten before Aloha.
7 Na lu kah sam pataeng boeih a tae coeng. Rhih uh boeh, vahnup lakah muep na tiing uh ngai.
But of you, the numbers of the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you.
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.
But I tell you that every one who shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of Aloha.
9 Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt tah Pathen puencawn rhoek hmaiah ka huek uh tak ni.
But he who denieth me before men, I will deny him before the angels of Aloha.
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 who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but whoever against the Spirit of Holiness shall blaspheme, it shall not be forgiven him.
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 into the synagogues, before heads and authorities, be not anxious how you shall express yourselves, or what you shall say;
12 Thui ham a kuek te tah amah tue vaengah Cim Mueihla loh nangmih n'thuituen bitni,” a ti nah.
for the Spirit of Holiness will teach you in that hour what you 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 a man from the assembly said to him, Malphona, tell my brother to divide with me the inheritance.
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 Jeshu said to him, Man, who established me over you a judge and a divider?
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 his disciples, Beware of all avarice: for life is not in the abundance of riches.
16 Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah a thui tih, “Kuirhang hlang pakhat kah lo te cang a thawt pah.
And he spake a parable to them: The ground of a certain rich man produced him much provisions.
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, and said, What shall I do? for I have not where to collect my provisions.
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 destroy my house of stores, and will build and enlarge it; and there will I collect all my provender and my good things:
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, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and 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 Aloha said to him, Reasonless (man)! this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared,
21 Te dongah anih loh amah ham a tung dae a khuehtawn loh Pathen taengla a pawk puei moenih,” a ti nah.
whose shall they be? So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich.
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 tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress:
23 hinglu tah buh lakah, pum he khaw himbai lakah olpuei la om.
for the soul is more precious than food, and the body than 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, which sow not nor reap, which have no chambers or barns, yet Aloha feeds them. How much, therefore, are you better than the fowls!
25 Nangmih khuiah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong at khaw aka cong thil thai?
And which of you by being anxious could add to his stature one cubit?
26 A yit dongah na coeng uh pawt atah, ba ham lae a tloe dongah na mawn uh.
But if indeed you are not capable of (that which is) the least, why concerning the rest are you anxious?
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, how they grow, which toil not nor spin; but I tell you that even Shelemun in all his glory was not 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 the herbage, which today is in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, Aloha thus clothes, how much more you, little in faith!
29 Te dongah nangmih loh na caak ham neh na ok te toem uh boeh uepvawt uh boeh.
And seek you not what you shall eat, and what you shall drink; nor let your mind be distracted for these:
30 Diklai namtom boeih loh te te a tlapuh. Tedae nangmih kah na kuek te pa loh a ming coeng.
for all these the nations of the world seek; but to you also your Father knoweth that these are needful.
31 A ram te tlap uh dae lamtah tekah te nangmih ham han thap bitni.
But seek the kingdom of Aloha, and these all shall be added to 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 your Father hath willed 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 your substance, and give alms: make to you bags which become not old, and a treasure which is not transient, in the heavens, where the thief does not approach, and the moth destroys not.
34 Na khohrhang a om nah ah na thinko khaw pahoi om ni.
For where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.
35 Na pumpu te yen tangtae la om saeh lamtah hmaiim khaw vang saeh.
Let your loins be bound, and your lamps be 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 you like men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the place of festivity, that, when he hath come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
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.
Blessed those servants who, when their lord shall come, shall be found watching. Amen I tell you, He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will come over and serve 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 the third watch he shall come and find them thus, blessed will be those servants.
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.
But this know, that if the lord of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have permitted his house to be dug 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.
Also you, be you therefore ready: for, in that hour that you think not, cometh the Son of man.
41 Peter loh, “Boeipa, he nuettahnah he kaimih ham a? Hlang boeih ham khaw na thui a?” a ti nah.
Shemun Kipha said to him, Our Lord, to us speakest thou this parable, or to all men also?
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.
Jeshu said to him, Who then is that steward, faithful and wise, whom his lord hath established over his service, to give the portion in its time?
43 Tekah sal tah a yoethen, a saii te a Boeipa ha pawk vaengah a hmuh pah van ni.
Blessed that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
44 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a khuehtawn boeih soah anih ni a ngol sak eh.
Assuredly I tell you, He will establish him over 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 shall say in his heart, My lord withholdeth to come, and shall begin to beat the servants and the handmaids of his lord, and shall begin to eat and to 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 thinketh not, and in an hour which he knoweth not; and shall sunder him, and set him his portion with those who are not faithful.
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 the will of his lord, and prepared not himself according to his will, shall be beaten with many
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 who knew not, and did that which was worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For every one to whom much is given, much will be required from him; and to whom much is committed, the more will they require at his hand.
49 Diklai dongah hmai pak hamla ka pawk coeng dongah, metla hlae oepsoeh cakhaw ka ngaih mai coeng.
FIRE have I come to send forth upon the earth, and I would that it already burned:
50 Baptistma khaw nuem hamla ka om pueng tih, ka coeng hlan atah metlamnim n'nan ve.
and I have a baptism (wherewith) to be baptized, and greatly am I pressed till it be completed.
51 Diklai ah rhoepnah paek ham ka pawk tila na poek uh a? Moenih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, paekboenah ham dae ni he.
Suppose you that peace I have come to send forth on the earth? I tell you, not (peace), but divisions.
52 Tahae lamkah longtah im pakhat ah panga la paek uh thae vetih, panit pathum, panit pathum ah om uh ni.
For from henceforth there will be five in one house, who (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.
For the father will be divided against his son, and the son against his father; the mother against her daughter, and the daughter against her mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against the 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 to the assembly, When you see a cloud arisen from the west, immediately you say, The rain cometh; and it is so:
55 Tuithim a hli vaengah, “Kholing ha pai ni,” na ti uh tih pai tangloeng.
and when bloweth the south, you say, It becomes heat; and it is so.
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.
You hypocrites, the aspect of the sky and of the earth you know to distinguish; but this Time how do you not distinguish?
57 Namamih ham khaw balae tih a dueng la lai na tloek uh pawh.
But why of yourselves judge you not the truth?
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 to the magistrate, while in the way, negotiate, and be freed from him; lest he bring thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into the house of the bound;
59 Na taengah kan thui, mucih ca khaw boeih na thuung hlan atah te lamkah loh na loeih loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
and Amen I tell thee, Thou wilt not be delivered from thence till thou shalt have given the last shomona.
