Luka 19
1 Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
When Jesus had entered, and was passing through Jericho,
2 Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Zakkhaeus la a khue te lawt om. Anih tah mangmu boei neh kuirhang la om.
behold, a man named Zaccheus, a rich man, and chief of the publicans,
3 Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
endeavored to see what sort of person he was, but could not for the press, being of a low stature.
4 Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
Therefore, running before, he climbed up into a sycamore, to see him; having observed that he was going that way.
5 Tekah hmuen la a pha vaengah Jesuh tah oeloe tih anih te, “Zakkhaeus, a loe la rhum, tihnin ah nang im ah ka naeh ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and seeing him, said, Zaccheus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must abide at your house.
6 Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
When the multitude perceived this, they said, murmuring, He is gone to be entertained by a sinner.
8 A pai neh Zakkhaeus loh Boeipa taengah, “Boeipa, Ka khuehtawn he rhakthuem he khodaeng rhoek ka paek. Hlang khat khat kah hno khat khat ni ka rhawt pah bal atah rhaepli la ka thuung coeng he,” a ti nah.
But Zaccheus, presenting himself before Jesus, said, Master, half of my goods I will give to the poor; and if in anything I have wronged any man, I will restore fourfold.
9 Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Anih tah Abraham capa la a om van dongah tihnin ah tah khangnah loh he imkhui la pai coeng.
And Jesus said, concerning him, To-day is salvation come to this house; inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Hlang Capa ha pawk he aka poci te toem ham neh khang ham rhoe pai ni,” a ti.
For the Son of Man is come to seek and recover that which was lost.
11 Jerusalem a pha tom vaengah a yaak neh Pathen kah ram a tueng hamla cai tomlael coeng tila a poek dongah nuettahnah pakhat te a thap tih a thui.
As the people were attentive, he added this parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they fancied the Reign of God would immediately commence.
12 Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
A certain nobleman went abroad to procure for himself the royalty, and then return;
13 Te dongah a sal hlangrha te a khue tih mina lungrha te amih taengah a paek. Te phoeiah amih te, ' Amah ka pawk hil thimpom uh,’ a ti nah.
and having called ten of his servants, and delivered to them ten pounds, he said, improve these till I return.
14 Tedae a pilnam rhoek loh anih te a hmuhuetuh. Te dongah amah hnukah laipai tloep a tueih uh tih, ' Kaimih soah a manghai ham he ka ngaih uh moenih,’ a ti na uh.
Now his citizens hated him; and sending an embassy after him, protested, We will not have this man for our king.
15 Ram te a loh tih amah ha mael vaengah tah tangka a paek a sal rhoek te amah taengla a khue tih metla a thimpom uh khaw ming hamla a dawt.
When he returned, vested with royal power, he commanded those servants to be called to whom he had committed the money, that he might know what every one had gained.
16 Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
Then the first came, and said, My Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
17 Te vaengah anih te, ' Then, sal then a yit dongah uepom la na om tih, kho parha soah saithainah aka khueh la om laeh,’ a ti nah.
He answered, Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very small matter, receive the government of ten cities.
18 Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
And the second who came, said, My Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
He answered, Be you also governor of five cities.
20 Te phoeiah pakhat loh ha pawk tih, ' Boeipa, nang kah mina tah himbaica khuiah ka khueh tih ka tung he.
Another came, saying, My Lord, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
21 Dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la na om dongah namah khaw kang rhih. Na khueh pawt te na phueih tih na tuh pawt te na ah,’ a ti nah.
for I was afraid of you, because you are a hard master; you exact what you did not give, and reap what you did not sow.
22 Anih te tah, ' Na ka lamkah vanbangla nang taengah ol ka tloek ni, sal thae aw, kai he dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la ka om te na ming coeng. Ka khueh pawt te ka poh tih ka tuh pawt te ka ah het a?
He answered, Out of your own mouth, you malignant servant, I will condemn you. Did you know that I am a hard master, exacting what I did not give, and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Te vaengah balae tih ka tangka te caboei dongla na tloeng pawh. Kai ka pawk vaengah a casai neh ka dang kolo mako,” a ti nah.
Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank; that at my return I might have received it with interest?
24 Te phoeiah aka pai rhoek te, ' Anih taengkah mina te lo uh lamtah mina lungrha aka khueh te pae uh,’ a ti nah.
Then he said to his attendants, Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.
25 Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
They answered, My Lord, he has ten pounds.
26 Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
He replied, I tell you, that to every one who has, more shall be given; but from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
27 Tedae amih soah kai manghai sak ham ngaih pawh ka rhal rhoek te pahoi hang khuen uh lamtah ka hmaiah ngawn uh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
But as for those my enemies, who would not have me for their king, bring them hither, and slay them in my presence.
28 Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
After this discourse, Jesus walked foremost, traveling toward Jerusalem.
29 Olives tlang a ti uh taengkah Bethphage neh Bethany te vat a pha vaengah hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
When he approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mountain called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 “Rhaldan kah kho la cet rhoi, a khuila na kun rhoi vaengah laakca a pael te na hmuh rhoi ni. Te soah hlang ngol noek pawt dae hlam lamtah hang khuen rhoi.
saying, Go to yonder village, where, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him, and bring him.
31 khat loh nangmih rhoi te, 'Ba ham lae na hlam?' tila n'dawt atah, 'Boeipa loh a ngoe, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
If any one ask you why you loose him, you shall answer, Because the Master needs him.
32 Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
Accordingly, they who received this order, went, and found everything as he had told them.
33 laak ca te a hlam rhoi vaengah a boei loh amih rhoi te, “Balae tih laak ca te na hlam rhoi,” a ti nah.
As they were loosing the colt, the owners said to them, Why loose you the colt?
34 Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
They answered, The Master needs him.
35 Te te Jesuh taengla a khuen rhoi. Te phoeiah laak ca te a himbai neh a khuk uh tih Jesuh te a soah a ngol sakuh.
So they brought him to Jesus, and having thrown their mantles upon the colt, set Jesus on it.
36 A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
As he went, the people spread their mantles in the way before him.
37 Olives tlang kah singling te a pha tom vaengah a thaomnah te hnukbang rhaengpuei loh pahoi boeih a hmuh uh. Te boeih nen te omngaih uh tih Pathen te ol neh rhuprhup a thangthen uh.
When he was so near as the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God in loud acclamations, for all the miracles which they had seen;
38 “Boeipa ming neh aka pawk manghai tah a yoethen, vaan ah ngaimongnah, thangpomnah tah a sangkoek ah om saeh,” a ti uh.
saying, Blessed be the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!
39 Te dongah hlangping lamkah Pharisee hlangvang loh amah te, “Saya, na hnukbang rhoek te toel lah,” a ti nah.
Upon this, some Pharisees in the crowd said to him, Rabbi, rebuke your disciples.
40 Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
He answered, I tell you, that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.
41 Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
When he came near, and beheld the city, he wept over it,
42 “Tahae kah ngaimongnah he nang long khaw tihnin ah na ming koinih, tedae na mikhmuh lamloh a thuh coeng.
saying, O that thou hadst known, at least in this thy day, the things which concern thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes:
43 Khohnin loh nang taengla ha pawk vetih na rhal rhoek loh nang te vaam n'too thil ni. Te vaengah nang te n'dum vetih voeivang ah nang te ng'et ni.
for the days are coming upon thee, when thine enemies will surround thee with a rampart, and inclose thee, and shut thee up on every side;
44 Te phoeiah namah neh na khuikah na ca rhoek te a hnaa uh ni. Namamih kah hiphoelnah tue te na ming pawt yueng, na khuikah lungto sokah lungto pakhat pataeng hmaai uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
and will level thee with the ground, thee and thy children, and will not leave one stone upon another, because thou didst not know the time when thou wast visited.
45 Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
Afterward he went into the temple, and drove out thence those who sold, and those who bought in it,
46 Amih te, “'Ka im tah thangthuinah im la om ni, 'tila a daek coeng dae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah khuirhung la na saii uh,” a ti nah.
saying to them, It is written, "My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 Te phoeiah hnin takuem bawkim khuiah om tih a thuituen. Tedae khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh pilnam kah a congkhang long tah anih te poci sak ham a mae uh.
And he taught daily in the temple, while the chief priests and the scribes, and persons of principal note, sought his destruction;
48 Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
but could not devise how to effect it: for all the people heard him with the greatest attention.
