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 meantime, when many thousands of the people were gathered together, so much that they trampled on each other, he began to say to his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast 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 concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden 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.
So whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon 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.
I say to you my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that they have no more that they can do.
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 about whom to fear. Fear the one who, after he has killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, 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 small coins? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of 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. Do not fear. You are more valuable 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.
I say to you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God,
9 Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt tah Pathen puencawn rhoek hmaiah ka huek uh tak ni.
but he who denies me before men will 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.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes 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.
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you will speak in your defense, or what you will 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 hour what you should say.”
13 Hlangping khuikah pakhat loh Jesuh te, “Saya, ka manuca te thui pah lamtah kai hamla rho ham paek,” a ti nah.
Then someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to 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.
Jesus said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or a mediator 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.
He said to them, “Watch that you keep yourselves from all greedy desires, because a person's life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions.”
16 Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah a thui tih, “Kuirhang hlang pakhat kah lo te cang a thawt pah.
Then Jesus told them a parable, saying, “The field of a rich man yielded abundantly,
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 reasoned with himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have a place 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.
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all of my grain and other 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.
I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods stored up for many years. Rest easy, 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, 'Foolish man, tonight your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
21 Te dongah anih loh amah ham a tung dae a khuehtawn loh Pathen taengla a pawk puei moenih,” a ti nah.
That is what someone is like who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward 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.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat—or about your body, what you will wear.
23 hinglu tah buh lakah, pum he khaw himbai lakah olpuei la om.
For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
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 do not sow or reap. They have no storeroom or barn, but God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 Nangmih khuiah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong at khaw aka cong thil thai?
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his lifespan?
26 A yit dongah na coeng uh pawt atah, ba ham lae a tloe dongah na mawn uh.
If then you are not able to do such a very little thing, why do you worry 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—how they grow. They do not labor, neither do they spin. Yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed 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
If God so clothes the grass in the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
29 Te dongah nangmih loh na caak ham neh na ok te toem uh boeh uepvawt uh boeh.
Do not look for what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
30 Diklai namtom boeih loh te te a tlapuh. Tedae nangmih kah na kuek te pa loh a ming coeng.
For all the nations of the world look for these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 A ram te tlap uh dae lamtah tekah te nangmih ham han thap bitni.
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 A ram te nangmih paek ham na pa a lung a tlun coeng dongah, tuping ca aw, birhih boeh.
Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is very pleased 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 possessions and give to the poor. Make for yourselves purses which will not wear out—treasure in the heavens that does not run out, where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.
34 Na khohrhang a om nah ah na thinko khaw pahoi om ni.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Na pumpu te yen tangtae la om saeh lamtah hmaiim khaw vang saeh.
Let your long clothing be tucked in at your belt, and let your lamps be kept 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 like people looking for their master when he returns from the marriage feast, so that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open the door for 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 are those servants whom the master will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will tuck in his long clothing at his belt, and have them sit down at the table, and he will come and serve them.
38 Pathum, pabae la ha pawk vaengah aka tawt te a hmuh tangloeng dongah amih tah yoethen la om uh.
If the master comes in the second watch of the night, or if even in the third watch, and finds them ready, blessed are 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 understand this, that if the master of the house had known the hour the thief was coming he would not have let his house be broken into.
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 ready also, because you do not know the hour when the Son of Man comes.”
41 Peter loh, “Boeipa, he nuettahnah he kaimih ham a? Hlang boeih ham khaw na thui a?” a ti nah.
Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable only to us, or also to everyone?”
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.
The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will set over his other servants to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 Tekah sal tah a yoethen, a saii te a Boeipa ha pawk vaengah a hmuh pah van ni.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing that when he comes.
44 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a khuehtawn boeih soah anih ni a ngol sak eh.
Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his property.
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 says in his heart, 'My lord delays his return,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to become drunk,
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 does not expect, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and appoint a place for him 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.
That servant, having known his lord's will, and not having prepared or done according to his will, will be beaten with many blows.
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 the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating, he will be beaten with a few blows. But everyone who has been given much, from them much will be required, and the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.
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 how I wish that it were 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 I am distressed until it is 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.
Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you, 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 now on there will be five in one house divided—three people against two, and two people 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; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against 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.
Jesus was saying to the crowds also, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 Tuithim a hli vaengah, “Kholing ha pai ni,” na ti uh tih pai tangloeng.
When a south wind is blowing, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
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, you know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the heavens, but how is it that you do not know how to interpret the present time?
57 Namamih ham khaw balae tih a dueng la lai na tloek uh pawh.
Why do you not judge what is right for yourselves?
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.
For when you go with your adversary before the magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the matter with him so that he does not drag you to the judge, and so that the judge does not deliver you to the officer, and the officer does not throw you 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 say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the very last bit of money.”
