And he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
6 Tedae Israel imkhui kah tu aka poci rhoek taengah mah cet uh.
Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Aka cet rhoek loh, 'Vaan ram yoei coeng, 'tila thui lamtah hoe uh.
And as you go, proclaim, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
8 Tattloel rhoek te hoeih sak uh, aka duek thoh uh, hmaibae cing sak uh, rhaithae te haek uh, a yoe la na dang uh te a yoe la pae uh.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
10 Longpueng hamla sungsa, angki yungnit, khokhom conghol khuen uh boeh. Bibikung tah amah caak te a om pah tueng.
Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
11 Mebang khopuei neh vangca khuiah na kun uh vaengah, “Te khuikah a tueng la aka om te toem uh lamtah na voei hlan duela naeh uh dae.
And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
12 Im khuila na kun vaengah toidal uh.
And as you enter into the household, greet it.
13 Aka koih imkhui ni a om van atah nangmih kah ngaimongnah loh thoeng thil saeh. Tedae a tueng la a om pawt atah nangmih kah ngaimongnah te nangmih taengah ha bal saeh.
And if the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Nangmih te n'doe pawt tih nangmih kah ol a hnatun pawt te tah, te imkhui khaw, khopuei khaw voelh na caeh vaengah na kho kah tangdik te khoek pah uh.
And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15 Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, “Laitloeknah khohnin ah Sodom neh Gomorrah kho pataeng tekah khopuei lakah phoeng pueng ni.
Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 Uithang lakli ah tu bangla kai loh nangmih kan tueih ne. Te dongah rhul bangla cueih khueh lamtah vahu bangla caepakyik la om uh.
"Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
17 Hlang rhoek te ngaithuen uh, nangmih te khoboei rhoek taengla n'thak uh ni. Te vaengah nangmih te tunim ah m'bohuh ni.
But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
18 Kai kongah khoboei rhoek neh manghai rhoek hmailah n'khuen uh ni. Amih taeng neh namtom rhoek taengah laipai la na om uh ni.
Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 Tedae nangmih te n'thak uh vaengah balae, metlam lae na thui eh ti mawn uh boeh. Amah a tue vaengah na thui uh koi nangmih taengah m'paek bitni.
But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
20 Te rhoek aka voek la na om uh moenih. Tedae Na Pa kah Mueihla loh nangmih khuiah a thui bitni.
For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 Manuca loh manuca, a napa loh a ca te dueknah dongah a voeih ni. Ca rhoek long khaw a manu napa te a tingtoeh vetih a duek sak ni.
"And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 Kai ming dongah hlang boeih kah a hmuhuet la na om uh ni. Tedae a bawtnah duela aka ueh tah daem ni.
And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
23 He kah kho ah ni nangmih te n'hnaemtaek uh atah a tloe la rhaelrham uh. Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, hlang capa ha pawk hlan atah Israel khopuei rhoek te na tluek uh mueh mahpawh.
But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 Hnukbang he saya soah a om moenih, sal khaw a boei soah a om moenih.
"A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
25 Hnukbang te a saya bangla, sal loh a boei bangla a om mah rhoeh coeng. Imkung te Beelzeboul a phoei thil uh atah a imko ngawn tah bahoeng nah.
It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.
26 Te dongah amih te rhih uh boeh. Muekdah la aka om te pumphoe mueh pawt tih a huephael te a ming mueh moenih.
Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
27 A hmuep ah kan thui te vangnah khuiah thui. Na hna ah na yaak te imphu soah hoe uh.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 Pum aka ngawn rhoek te rhih uh boeh. Tedae hinglu a ngawn thai moenih. Pum neh hinglu boktlap la hell ah aka poci sak thai te mah rhih uh. (Geenna g1067)
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Vahnup phiknit te pe la a yoih moenih a? Tedae na Pa pawt koinih te rhoek khuikah pakhat pataeng lai ah tla mahpawh.
"Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
30 Nangmih lu kah sam pataeng boeih a tae la om coeng.
but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Te dongah rhih uh boeh. Nangmih tah vahnup lakah muep na tiing uh ta.
Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Te dongah hlangping hmaiah kai aka ming hlang boeih tah vaan kah a Pa hmaiah anih te ka ming van ni.
Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt te tah vaan kah a pa hmaiah anih te ka hnawt van ni.
But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Diklai ah ngaimongnah khuen hamla ka pawk tila poek uh boeh. Ngaimongnah ham pawt tih cunghang muk ham ni ka pawk coeng.
"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
35 Kai tah hlang pakhat neh a napa, a canu neh a manu, a langa neh a mani phihrha ham ni ka pawk.
For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 Hlang kah rhal tah a imkhui ah om ni.
And a person's foes will be those of his own household.
37 Kai lakah a manu neh a napa aka lungnah te tah kai neh aka tiing la om pawh. Kai lakah a capa neh a canu aka lungnah te khaw kai neh aka tiing la a om moenih.
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 A thinglam a koh kolla ka hnukah aka bang te tah kai neh aka tiing la a om moenih.
And whoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39 Amah kah hinglu aka hmutah poci vetih, kai kongah a hinglu aka poci loh te te a hmuh ni.
Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 Nangmih aka doe tah kai ni n'doe. Kai aka doe long khaw kai aka tueih te a doe.
Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
41 Tonghma ming neh tonghma aka doe tah tonghma kah thapang te a dang ni. Hlang dueng ming neh hlang dueng aka doe tah hlang dueng kah thapang te a dang van ni.
The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
42 Hnukbang ming neh tuiding boengloeng khat ca he kah a yit khuiah pakhat aka tul te tah, nangmih taengah rhep kan thui coeng, a thapang te yoe loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
