Luka 8
1 Te a poeng phoeiah amah loh khopuei boeih neh vangca patoeng a hil. Te vaengah Pathen ram te a hoe tih a olthangthen a thui. A hnukbang hlainit loh anih te a pueiuh.
Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
2 Mueihla thae, vawtthoeknah lamkah aka hoeih tangtae la aka om huta hlangvang rhoek, a khui lamkah rhaithae parhih loh a nong tak Magdala la a khue Mary,
as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 Herod buhtaem Chuza yuu Joanna, Susanna neh a tloe rhoek khaw muep lo uh tih amih loh Jesuh khaw a hnukbang rhoek te khaw a khuehtawn neh a bongyong uh.
Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own resources.
4 Khopuei takuem kah hlangping te muep capit uh tih a taengla ha pawk uh.
As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he said in a parable:
5 Te vaengah nuettahnah neh, “Cangti aka tuh tah a cangtii tuh hamla cet. Tedae a tuh vaengah a ngen tah long taengah tla. Te dongah a taelh uh tih vaan kah vaa loh a kueh.
“A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 A tloe rhoek tah lungpang soah tla dae, laiyuem a om pawt dongah a poe neh pahoi koh.
Other seed fell on rock, and as it grew up, it withered away because it had no moisture.
7 A tloe rhoek tah hling puem ah tla tih, a rhoeng vaengah hling loh a thing.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 A tloe te lai then dongah tla tih, a poe vaengah a vuei yakhat lam khaw thoeng,” a ti. Te phoeiah te, “Yaak nah hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah tih a doek.
But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Te dongah nuettahnah loh metla a om te a hnukbang rhoek loh amah a dawt uh.
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 Te dongah, “Pathen ram kah olhuep he ming hamla nangmih m'paek coeng. Te phoeiah a hmuh uh vaengah a hmat uh pawt ham, a yaak uh dae a hmuhming uh pawt ham ni nuettahnah neh ka hlihloeh sak.
He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’
11 Nuettahnah tah he tlam ni a om. Cangtii tah Pathen kah olka ni.
“Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 A yaak uh vaengah amih a khang ham te tangnah boel saeh tila, rhaithae te ha pawk tih a thinko kah olka a rhawt pah rhoek tah, long taengkah rhoek la om uh.
The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Lungpang sokah rhoek te tah olka te a yaak uh vaengah omngaihnah neh a doeuh. Tedae te rhoek te a yung om pawh. Amih loh a tue kolkalh ham a tangnah uh tih noemcainah tue vaengah tah nong uh.
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they fall away.
14 Hling puem kah aka tla rhoek, amih khaw aka ya tangtae rhoek ni. Tedae a pongpa vaengah mawntangnah, khuehtawn neh khosaknah omthenbawn loh a thing tih tak pawh.
The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 Lai then dongkah rhoek, amih rhoek tah thinko then neh a then la aka om rhoek ni. Te dongah ol a yaak uh te a dueh uh tih uehnah neh thaihtak uh.
But the seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
16 Hmaiim a tok te hnopai neh aka dah, thingkong hmuiah aka det he a om moenih. Tedae aka kun rhoek te vangnah hmuh sak ham hmaitung soah ni a khueh.
“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its light.
17 A huephael la aka om te mingpha la a om mueh moenih. A huep te khaw mingpha mueh pawt tih mingpha la a pawk mueh moenih.
For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made known and come to light.
18 Te dongah metla na yaak uh khaw hmuminguh. Aka khueh te tah a a taengla a paek ni. Tedae aka khueh pawt te tah a taengah a khueh la a ngai te khaw a loh pah ni,” a ti nah.
Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Jesuh te a manu neh a mana rhoek loh a paan. Tedae hlangping dongah anih te hum uh thai pawh.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach him because of the crowd.
20 Te dongah amah te, “Na nu neh na mana rhoek loh nang hmuh ham la a ngaih uh tih poeng ah pai uh,” tila a puen pah.
So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wanting to see yoʋ.”
21 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Pathen kah olka a yaak tih aka saii rhoek tah ka manu neh ka manuca la om uh,” a ti nah.
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
22 Hnin at vaengah Jesuh tah a hnukbang neh lawng khuila kun. Te phoeiah amih te, “Tuili kah rhalvangan la kat uh sih,” a ti nah tih kat uh.
One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out,
23 A hlaikan uh vaengah Jesuh tah vik ip. Te vaengah hlipuei khohli loh tuili la ha pawk tih dalh a muelh coeng dongah khopo uh.
and as they were sailing along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.
24 Te dongah Jesuh te a paan uh tih a haeng uh. Te phoeiah, “Boeipa, Boeipa, m'poci uh coeng he,” a ti nauh. Tedae a haeng vaengah khohli neh tui dongkah tuiphu te khaw a toel hatah khohli khaw paa tih suepduem la koep om.
So they came to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was calm.
25 Te phoeiah amih te, “Nangmih kah tangnah te ta?” a ti nah. Tedae a rhih uh tih a ngai a hmang uh dongah amamih te, “Unim he, khohli neh tui khaw a voek tih a ngai pah he,” a ti uh.
Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 Te phoeiah Galilee imdan ah aka om Gerasenes kho te a pha uh.
Then they sailed to the region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 Lan so a pha vaengah khopuei lamkah rhaithae aka khueh hlang pakhat loh a doe. Kum te yet ah himbai bai voel pawh, im ah pawt tih phuel ah naeh.
When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or live in a house but among the tombs.
28 Jesuh te a hmuh vaengah pang tih a bakop thil. Te phoeiah ol ue la, “Kai taeng neh nang taengah balae aka om?, Khohni Pathen capa Jesuh aw. Kai nan phaep pawt ham ni nang kan hloep,” a ti nah.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, do not torment me.”
29 Te dongah hlang khui lamkah a coe hamla rhalawt mueihla te a toel. Te vaengah anih a paco te a tue khaw yet coeng. Thirhui neh a pael tih hloong nen khaw a khoh uh coeng. Tedae rhaithae loh khosoek la a vai vaengah tah hloong te khaw a dueng.
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate places.
30 Te phoeiah anih te Jesuh loh, “Na ming ulae? tila a dawt. Anih te rhaithae a yet loh a kun thil dongah, “caempuei caempa,” a ti nah.
Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.
31 Te phoeiah amih te tangrhom dung khuiah cungpung saeh tila olpaek pawt ham Jesuh te a hloep uh. (Abyssos g12)
And he begged Jesus not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Te vaengah tlang ah aka luem ok hui te muep tapkhoeh om. Te dongah amih te ok khuila kun sak ham a bih uh tih a kun sak.
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. So he gave them permission.
33 Te daengah rhaithae rhoek tah hlang lamloh cet uh tih ok khuila kun uh. Tedae ok hui tah laengpoeng ah tuili khuila cu tih buek uh.
Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 Aka thoeng hno te ok vuelh rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah rhaelrham uh tih khopuei neh lohma lam khaw puen uh.
When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city and in the countryside.
35 Te dongah aka om hno te sawt hamla cet uh tih Jesuh te a paan uh. Te vaengah a khui lamkah rhaithae rhoek loh a nong tak hlang khaw ana yol uh tih Jesuh kho kungah samthing la a ngol te a hmuh uh hatah a rhih uh.
So the people came out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
36 Te dongah rhaithae aka kaem loh a khang te aka hmuh rhoek loh amih taengah patoeng puen uh.
Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.
37 Tedae rhihnah loh mat a nan uh dongah Gerasenes pingpang kah rhaengpuei boeih loh Jesuh te amih taeng lamkah nong sak ham la a hloep uh. Jesuh khaw lawng khuila kun tih mael.
Then the entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 A khui lamkah rhaithae loh a nong tak hlang long khaw Jesuh neh amah taengah om hamla a bih.
Now the man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Tedae anih te a tueih tih, “Namah im la bal lamtah, Pathen loh nang ham a saii te thui pah,” a ti nah. Te dongah kho tom la cet tih Jesuh loh anih ham a saii te a hoe.
“Return to yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Jesuh aka lamso la boeih a om uh dongah a mael vaengah anih te hlangping loh a doe.
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been waiting for him.
41 Te vaengah Jairus aka ming nah hlang pakhat te pakcak ha pawk. Anih tah tunim kah boei la om dae, Jesuh kho taengah bakop tih a im ah pah sak ham a cael.
And behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come to his house,
42 A canu khueh duen, kum hlainit tluk te duek. Tedae a caeh vaegah Jesuh te hlangping loh a thing.
because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on him.
43 Te phoeiah kum hlainit ah thii buk aka khueh huta om. Anih loh a khosaknah te siboei taengah boeih a hnonah coeng dae coeng thai pawt tih hoeih pawh.
Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
44 A hnuk lamloh a paan tih a himbai dongkah salaw te a taek pah. Te dongah a thii buk te dup a ngol pah.
She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.
45 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Ulae kai aka taek te,” a ti nah. Boeih basa uh tih Peter loh, “Boeipa, hlangping loh nang te ng'et tih n'nen te ta,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Te vaengah Jesuh loh, “Khat khat loh kai n'taek, kai lamkah ka thaomnah a caeh te ka ming,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 A phah tloel te huta loh a hmuh vaengah a birhih doela a paan tih a taengah a bakuep pah. Anih a taek vaengah a paelnaehnah te khaw, metla a hoeih pahoi te khaw pilnam boeih taengah puen.
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.
48 Te dongah anih te, “Ka canu, na tangnah loh namah ng'khang coeng, ngaimong la cet laeh,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in peace.”
49 A thui pueng ah tamtaeng taeng lamkah hlang pakhat ha pawk tih, “Na canu duek coeng, saya te toehoeih boeh,” a ti nah.
While he was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble the teacher.”
50 Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah, “Rhih boeh, dawk tangnah lamtah daem bitni,” a ti nah.
But when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51 A pha vaengah Peter, Johan neh James, camoe kah manu a napa pawt atah pakhat khaw amah taengah im khuila kun sak pawh.
When he came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and mother.
52 Te vaengah boeih rhap uh tih camoe te a rhaengsae uh. Tedae Jesuh loh, “Rhap uh boeh, a duek moenih, aka ip ni he,” a ti nah.
Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but sleeping.”
53 Tedae a duek te a ming uh dongah Jesuh te a nueih thiluh.
And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Tedae Jesuh loh a kut a tuuk pah phoeiah a khue tih, “Camoe thoo laeh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, arise!”
55 Te dongah a mueihla ha mael tih pahoi thoo. Te phoeiah anih te a caak a paek ham a uen.
Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
56 Te vaengah a manu napa tah limlum rhoi. Tedae aka om hno te thui pawt ham amih te a uen.
Her parents were amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
