Luka 19
1 Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
Jesus 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, there was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich.
3 Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd, because he was small in height.
4 Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
So he ran on ahead of the people and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was about to pass 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 said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
So he hurried and came down and welcomed him joyfully.
7 Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
When everyone saw this, they all complained, saying, “He has gone in to visit a man who is 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.
Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I will restore four times the amount.”
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.
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too 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 came to seek and to save the people who are 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 they heard these things, he continued speaking and told a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to appear immediately.
12 Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then to 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.
He called ten of his servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, 'Conduct business until I come back.'
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.
But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man rule over us.'
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.
It happened when he came back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded the servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what profit they had made by doing business.
16 Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.'
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.
The nobleman said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful in very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
The second came, saying, 'Your mina, lord, has made five minas.'
19 Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
The nobleman said to him, 'You take charge over 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, 'Lord, here is your mina, which I kept safely in a cloth,
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 demanding person. You take up what you did not put in, and you 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?
The nobleman said to him, 'By your own words I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am a demanding person, that I take up what I did not put in, and that I reaped 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.
Then why did you not put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I would have collected 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.
The nobleman said to them that stood by, 'Take away from him the mina, and give it to him that has the ten minas.'
25 Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
'I say to you, that everyone who has will be given more, but from him that has not, even that which he has will be taken away.
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 these enemies of mine, those who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and kill them before me.'”
28 Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
When he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Olives tlang a ti uh taengkah Bethphage neh Bethany te vat a pha vaengah hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
It came about that when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the hill that is called Olivet, he sent two of the 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 into the next village. As you enter, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
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 anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say, 'The Lord has need of it.'”
32 Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
Those who were sent went and found the colt just as Jesus 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 untying the colt, the owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
They said, “The Lord has need of it.”
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.
They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their cloaks upon the colt and set Jesus on it.
36 A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
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.
As he was now approaching the place where the Mount of Olives descends, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works 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 is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 Te dongah hlangping lamkah Pharisee hlangvang loh amah te, “Saya, na hnukbang rhoek te toel lah,” a ti nah.
Some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, “Teacher, 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.
Jesus answered and said, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
When Jesus approached 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, “If only you had known in this day, even you, the things which bring you peace! But now they are hidden from your 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 will come upon you when your enemies will build a barricade around you, and surround you, and press in on you from 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.
They will strike you down to the ground and your children with you. They will not leave one stone upon another, because you did not recognize it when God was trying to save you.”
45 Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
Jesus entered the temple and began to cast out those who were selling,
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 will be 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.
So Jesus was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the leaders of the people wanted to kill him,
48 Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were listening to him intently.
