Luka 7
1 A ol te pilnam kah a hna ah boeih a baetawt sak phoeiah tah Kapernaum la kun.
When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Te vaengah rhalboei kah sal pakhat te tloh a khueh tih dalh duek. Anih tah a taengah a khoelh la om.
A centurion in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill – almost at the point of death.
3 A kawng a yaak coeng dongah Judah patong rhoek te Jesuh taengla a tueih tih a sal hoeih sak ham halo dae saeh tila a cael.
And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
4 Te rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh phoeiah ngahngah a cael uh tih, “Anih te doedan tueng la om he,
When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He deserves the favor from you,” they said,
5 mah namtu a lungnah dongah tunim te khaw anih long ni mamih ham a sak,” a ti nah.
“For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our synagogue for us.”
6 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh a caeh puei tih im pha ham pataeng hla voel pawh. Te vaengah rhalboei loh a puei rhoek te a tueih tih, “Boeipa, na tawnba mai pawt nim? Ka imphu ah na kun ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih.
So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the centurion sent some friends with the message – “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
7 Namah te kam paan ham khaw ka tueng moenih. Tedae ol kamat mah thui lamtah ka sal he hoeih bitni.
That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
8 Kai khaw saithainah aka khueh hmuikah aka om hlang pakhat van ni. Kamah hmuiah rhalkap rhoek khaw om van. Te dongah pakhat te “Cet” ka ti nah tih cet, pakhat te, “Ha lo lah,” ka ti nah tih ha lo mai. Te dongah tahae kah bangla na saii pah vetih ka sal te a saii mako,” a ti nah.
For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
9 Te te Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah a ngaihmang. Te dongah anih aka vai hlangping te a mael thil tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, Israel khuiah pataeng tangnah heyet ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said, “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
10 A tueih rhoek te im la a bal uh vaengah rhalboei kah a sal te sading la a hmuh uh.
And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
11 A vuen a pha neh Nain la a khue kho pakhat la cet. Te vaengah anih te a hnukbang rhoek neh hlangping loh muep a puei uh.
Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
12 Khopuei vongka neh a yoei vaengah manu pakhat tah capa khueh duen te a duek pah tih tarha hang khuen. Anih te nuhmai la om dae, khopuei kah hlangping loh anih taengah muep omuh.
Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial – an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
13 Anih te a hmuh vaengah Boeipa loh anih soah a thinphat tih, “Rhap boeh,” a ti nah.
When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 A paan tih rhoep te a taek vaengah aka kawt rhoek loh cawt a pai puei uh. Te phoeiah, “Cadong namah, thoo laeh ka ti,” a ti nah.
Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said, “Young man, I am speaking to you – Rise!”
15 Te dongah aka duek te ngol tih pahoi cal. Te phoeiah anih te a manu taengla a paek.
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
16 Te vaengah rhihnah loh boeih a thing uh. Te dongah, “Mamih taengah tonghma puei ha thoeng coeng, Pathen loh a pilnam a hip,” a ti uh tih Pathen a thangpom uh.
Everyone was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great prophet has arisen among us,” they said. “God has visited his people.”
17 Te dongah Jesuh kah ol loh Judah pum neh te rhoek pingpang boeih a pha.
And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
18 Te rhoek boeih te a hnukbang rhoek loh Johan taengla a puen pauh. Te dongah Johan loh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit te a khue.
All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
19 Boeipa taengla a tueih tih, “Aka pawk la na om coeng atah a tloe ka lamso pueng aya?” a ti nah.
So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask – “Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
20 Tekah hlang rhoi loh Jesuh te a paan rhoi tih, “Tuinuem Johan loh nang taengla kaimih rhoi n'tueih tih, 'Aka pawk la na om atah a tloe ka lamso aya? ' a ti,” a ti nah.
When these men found Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask – Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for somebody else?”
21 Te vaeng tue ah tlohtat khaw, nganboh khaw, mueihla thae muep a hoeih sak. Mikdael rhoek khaw muep a hmuh sak.
At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
22 Te phoeiah amih te a doo tih, “Cet uh lamtah na hmuh neh na yaak te Johan taengla puen pah. Mikdael loh a hmuh coeng, aka khawn loh pongpa coeng, hmaibae khaw cing tih hnapang loh a yaak, aka duek rhoek khaw thoo uh coeng, khodaeng loh olthangthen a yaak coeng.
So his answer to the question was, “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard – the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is told to the poor.
23 Tedae kai kongah a khah pawt te tah yoethen la om,” a ti nah.
And blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.”
24 Johan kah puencawn rhoi te a caeh phoeiah Johan kawng neh hlangping te, “Khosoek la na caeh uh vaengah balae na hmuh uh? Khohli kah a hinghuen capu a?
When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John,
25 Tedae himbai hnal neh aka phuekhlak uh hlang te hmuh ham nim na caeh uh? Rhuepom pueinak neh pumdomnah dongah kho aka sa rhoek tah manghai-im ah om uh lah ko ke.
“What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
26 Tedae na caeh uh te balae na hmuh uh? Tonghma a? Ue ta, nangmih taengah tonghma lakah khaw olpuei ka ti rhoe ta.
What then did you go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
27 A kawng la a daek pah te anih ni. Ka puencawn te Nang hmai ah kan tueih. Anih long ni nang hmaikah na longpuei te a rhoekbah eh.
This is the man of whom scripture says – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’
28 Nangmih taengah kan thui, huta kah a cun rhoek khuiah Johan lakah aka tanglue a om moenih. Tedae Pathen ram khuiah a yit koek long pataeng anih lakah tanglue la om,” pahoi a ti nah.
There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Aka ya pilnam boeih neh mangmucoi rhoek long tah Pathen te a tang sak uh tih Johan kah baptisma neh nuem uh.
(All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax collectors, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
30 Tedae Pharisee rhoek neh olming rhoek long tah Pathen kah mangtaengnah te amamih ham a aal uh dongah Johan lamloh nuem uh pawh.
But the Pharisees and the students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
31 Te dongah tahae cadil hlang rhoek ba nen nim ka thuidoek lah vetih unim phek a loh uh he?
“To what then,” Jesus continued, “should I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
32 Hnoyoih hmuen ah ngoluh tih khat neh khat aka khue uh thae camoe rhoek phek a lohuh. Amih loh, “Nangmih ham phavi kan tum uh dae na lam uh pawh. Kan hlai uh akhaw na rhap uh pawh,” a ti uh.
They are like some little children who are sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another – ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
33 Tuinuem Johan ha pawk tih buh ca pawh, misur khaw a ok pawt hatah, 'Rhaithae a khueh,’ na ti uh.
For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
34 Hlang capa loh ha pawk tih a caak, a ok hatah, 'hlang khaw carhut neh yumi la he, mangmu aka coi neh hlangtholh rhoek kah a paya ni, ' na ti uh.
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts.’
35 Tedae cueihnah loh a ca rhoek te boeih a tang sak.
And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36 Pharisee pakhat loh Jesuh te amah taengah buh ca la a cael. Te dongah Pharisee im la kun tih a vael van.
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at the table.
37 Pharisee im ah buh a vael te kho ah aka om hlangtholh nu loh lawt a ming.
Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
38 Te dongah botui te lungbok um dongah a khuen tih a rhah doela Jesuh kho tang ah pai. Te phoeiah Jesuh kho te mikphi neh koe a sul tih a lu sam neh a huih pah. A kho te a mok pah tih botui neh a hluk pah.
and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Anih aka khue Pharisee loh a hmuh vaengah a khuiah a toel tih, “Anih he tonghma la om koinih amah aka taek huta te, unim?, mebangnim? ti khaw a ming ni ta, hlangtholh dae ni ke,” a ti.
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “Had this man been ‘the prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
40 Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Simon, nang taengah thui ham bet ka khueh,” a ti nah. Anih long khaw, “Thui lah saw saya,” a ti nah.
But, addressing him, Jesus said, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began,
41 Puhlah pakhat taengah purhong panit om tih, pakhat loh denari yanga, pakhat loh sawmnga a ba.
“There were two people who were in debt to a moneylender; one owed five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.
42 Tedae a thuung nah a khueh rhoi pawt dongah vik a yoe sak. Te vaengah amih rhoi khuiah ulae puhlah a lungnah ngai eh?,” a ti nah.
As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
43 Simon loh a doo tih, “A yet a yoe sak te ka ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Buelh na naai het coeng,” a ti nah.
“I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
44 Te phoeiah huta taengla mael tih Simon te, “Huta he na hmuh a? Nang im khuila ka kun dae, kai he kho silh tui nan paek moenih. Anih long tah kai kho he mikphi neh a sul tih a sam neh a huih.
and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house – you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 Kai taengah moknah khaw nang khueh pawh, anih long tah ka kun parhi te kai kho a mok he toeng voel pawh.
You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Ka lu he situi nan hluk pawh, anih long tah ka kho he botui neh a hluk.
You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 Te dongah ni namah taengah kan thui, anih tah tholh a yet loh a hlah coeng dongah muep a lungnah. Tedae a yool a hlah pah long te tah a yool ni a lungnah,” a ti nah.
So I tell you, her great love shows that her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned. One who is pardoned little loves little.”
48 Te phoeiah huta te khaw, “Na tholhnah loh n'hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
Then he said to the woman, “Your sins have been pardoned.”
49 Te vaengah aka vael rhoek loh amamih khuiah, “Tholh aka hlah pah te ulae aka om he,” pahoi a ti uh.
The other guests began to say to one another, “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
50 Huta te khaw, “Na tangnah loh nang ng'khang coeng, ngaimong la cet laeh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
