Luka 13
1 Amah a khoning vaengah Pilat loh hmueih neh Galilee rhoek kah thii a thoek te hlangvang aka om rhoek loh Jesuh taengla puen uh.
Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Te te a yook uh dongah Galilee rhoek tah Galilee rhoek boeih lakah hlangtholh la om tila na poek uh a?
And, answering, he said unto them—Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?
3 Moenih ta, nangmih taengah kan thui, na yut uh pawt atah boeih na poci uh van ni.
Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish.
4 Siloam kah imsang loh a bung thil tih aka duek hlairhet rhoek te ta. Amih tah Jerusalem khosa hlang boeih lakah hlangtholh ni tila na poek uh a?
Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?
5 Moeinih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, na yut uh pawt atah boeih na poci uh van ni,” a ti nah.
Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall perish.
6 Te phoeiah nuettahnah a thui bal. “Amah dum ah thaibu aka ling hlang pakhat om tih, a thaih hoel hamla ha pawk hatah hah a sawt.
And he went on to speak this parable: —A certain man had, a fig-tree, planted in his vineyard, and he canto seeking fruit therein, and found none.
7 Te dongah dumpho taengah, 'Kum thum khuiah ka lo tih hekah thaibu dongah a thaih ka hoel dae hah ka sawt coeng he. Te dongah vung laeh, ba ham lae te nen te diklai a kang eh?,’ a ti nah.
And he said unto the vine-dresser—Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round useless?
8 Tedae anih te a doo tih, “Boeipa, te te pin ka to li tih aek ka sang hil tah kum at he khaw hlun mai.
And, he, answering, saith unto him—Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, —
9 Thanghal a pha atah a thaih khaw cuen mai ni ta, a thaih pawt bal atah na vung mai bitni,” a ti nah.
and if it may bear fruit for the future; …but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Sabbath vaengah tunim pakhat ah om tih a thuituen.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath.
11 Te vaengah kum hlairhet ah ngoicaemnah mueihla aka kaem huta te pakcak ha thoeng. Anih te ting khun la om coeng tih khuek pai thai pawh.
And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, —and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all.
12 Anih te a hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh a khue tih amah taengah, “Huta, Na ngoicaemnah te na hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her—Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, —
13 Te phoeiah huta te kut a tloeng thil hatah pahoi a dueng pah dongah Pathen te a thangpom.
and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.
14 Tedae Jesuh loh Sabbath vaengah a hoeih sak te tamtaeng loh a yakdam. Te dongah hlangping te a doo tih, “Hnin rhuk a om khuiah a saii ham te a kuek, te vaengah ha pawk kanoek vetih na hoeih uh mako, Sabbath hnin ah pawt mako,” a ti nah.
But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude—Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.
15 Te dongah anih te Boeipa loh a doo tih, “Hlangthai palat rhoek! nangmih pakhat rhip loh Sabbath ah a vaito neh muli-marhang te khongduk lamkah a hlam tih tui tul ham a khuen uh moenih a?
The Lord answered him, and said—Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?
16 Anih he Abraham canu la om dae ta. Amah he Satan loh kum hlai rhet a pin coeng ta he. Te dongah Sabbath khohnin ah he hloong dong lamkah loh hlam ham a kuek moenih a?,” a ti nah.
But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?
17 He he a thui vaengah, anih aka kingkalh rhoek boeih tah yah a poh uh. Tedae hlangping boeih tah amah loh rhuepom la boeih a thoeng sak soah omngaih.
And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.
18 Te dongah koep a thui tih, “Balae Pathen kah ram phek la aka om?
He went on to say, therefore—Whereunto, is the kingdom of God, like? And, whereunto, shall I liken it?
19 Tedae metlam ka thuidoek eh te? Te te mukang mu phek la om. Te te hlang loh a loh tih a dum ah a haeh. Tedae a rhoeng vaengah thing la poeh tih vaan kah vaa loh a hlaeng dongah bu a tuk,” a ti nah.
It is, like, unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and, the birds of heaven, lodged amongst its branches.
20 Te phoeiah, “Ka thuidoek thil ham Pathen kah ram te tah tolrhu phek la om.
And, again, he said—Whereunto, shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Te te huta loh a loh tih vaidam khoi thum boeih a rhoi hil khaw a hlum thil,” koep a ti.
It is, like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until, the whole, was leavened.
22 Khopuei vangca ah pah tih a thuituen phoeiah tah Jerusalem la a caeh long a tarhoek.
And he was journeying on, city by city and village by village, and making, progress, unto Jerusalem.
23 Te vaengah hlang pakhat loh a taengah, “Boeipa, te rhoek ca bueng khang koinih,” a ti nah.
And one said unto him—Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them—
24 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Thohka caek longah kun hamla thingthuel uh lah. Nangmih taengah ka thui, a yet loh kun hamla a toem uh suidae noeng uh mahpawh.
Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able, —
25 Imkung loh thoo tih thohka a khaih nen tah, poeng ah na pai uh pahoi vetih thohka te na khoek uh ni. Te vaengah, 'Boeipa, kaimih ham ong dae, ' na ti uh ni. Tedae nangmih te n'doo vaengah, 'Nangmih me kah aka om rhoek nim? kam ming moenih,’ a ti ni.
when once the householder shall rouse himself, and lock the door, and ye begin to stand, outside, and to knock at the door, saying—Lord! open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you—I know you not, whence ye are.
26 Te vaengah, 'Namah taengah ka caak ka ok uh tih, kaimih kah toltung ah na thuituen ta,’ na ti uh ni.
Then, will ye begin to say—We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;
27 Tedae nangmih taengah a thui vetih, 'Nangmih mekah aka om rhoek nim kam ming moenih, boethae kah bibikung rhoek kai taeng lamkah loh boeih nong uh,’ a ti ni.
And he will speak, saying unto you—I know not whence ye are; Depart from me, all workers of unrighteous—
28 Te ah te rhah neh no rhuengnah ni aka om eh. Pathen kah ram ah Abraham, Isaak, Jakob neh tonghma rhoek te boeih na hmuh uh vaengah nangmih te phawn n'thaek uh ni.
There, will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as soon as ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and, yourselves, being thrust forth outside.
29 Te vaengah khocuk neh khotlak lamkah, tlangpuei neh tuithim lamkah loh ha pawk uh vetih Pathen kah ram ah ngolhlung uh ni.
And they shall have come from east and west, and from north and south, and be made recline in the kingdom of God.
30 A hnuk la aka om rhoek te lamhma la om uh vetih, lamhma la aka om rhoek te a hnuk la om uh ni ke,” a ti nah.
And lo! there are, last, who shall be, first, and there are, first, who shall be, last;
31 Amah tekah a tue vaengah Pharisee pakhat loh Jesuh te a paan tih, “Khoe uh lamtah cet dingdoeng laeh, Herod loh nang ngawn ham a ngaih,” a ti nah.
In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee.
32 Te dongah amih te, “Cet uh lamtah maetang te thui pa uh, rhaithae ka haek tih tihnin ah hoeihnah ka saii he thangvuen neh omvai ah ka coeng ni.
And he said unto them—Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, to-day, and to-morrow, —
33 Tedae kai ham tihnin neh thangvuen te khaw a kuek dongah caeh hamla om. Jerusalem voel ah tonghma sai a caeh te yae boel saeh.
and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, to-day, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, tonghma rhoek te aka ngawn tih a taengla a tueih pah rhoek te khaw aka dae, ainu loh a phae hmuiah a aicahui khoep a ku vaengkah a longim bangla, na ca rhoek te ka kholcui ham ka ngaih taitu dae na ngaih uh pawh.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, —and ye did not desire!
35 Na im te nangmih taengla han hlah coeng he. Tedae nangmih ham ni ka thui. Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen, ' na ti uh tue te ha pawk duela kai nan hmuh uh loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Lo! your house is left to you. [And] I say unto you—In nowise shall ye see me, until ye say, —Blessed, is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
