Matthai 12
1 Te vaeng tue kah Sabbath ah Jesuh tah lohma longah cet. A hnukbang rhoek tah a bungpong uh tih cangvuei a yun uh tih koe a kueh a uh.
About this time as Jesus passed through the cornfields on the sabbath-day, his disciples being hungry began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat them.
2 Tedae Pharisee rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah Jesuh te, “Sabbath ah saii ham a paek pawt te na hnukbang rhoek loh a saii uh ke,” a ti nah.
And when the pharisees saw it they said to Him, See, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful for them to do on the sabbath.
3 Tedae Jesuh loh, “David neh a taengkah rhoek loh a bung a pong vaengah balae a saii, na tae uh moenih a?
But He replied, Have ye not read what David did, when he, and his attendants, were hungry? how he went into the house of God,
4 Pathen im khuila kun tih a hmai kah buh a caak te ta. Te te anih kah a caak tueng la a om moenih, khosoih rhoek bueng pawt atah a taengkah rhoek ham khaw a om moenih.
and did eat the shew-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor those that were with him; but for the priests only? or have ye not read in the law,
5 Sabbath ah bawkim kah khosoih rhoek loh Sabbath te a poeih dae ommongsitoe la a om uh te olkhueng khuiah na tae uh moenih a?
what profane sort of work the priests do in the temple on the sabbath-days, and yet are blameless?
6 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, bawkim lakah aka tanglue ngai tah he ah om ta.
But I tell you, that a greater than the temple is here:
7 Tedae metla a om khaw na ming uh koinih, rhennah ni ka ngaih hmueih moenih,’ a ti dongah ommongsitoe te na boe sak uh pawt sue.
and if ye had known what that scripture means, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice," ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Hlang capa tah Sabbath boeipa la om,” a ti.
For the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
9 Te lamloh thoeih tih amamih kah tunim la pawk.
And he went away and came into their synagogue: and there being a man there who had a withered hand,
10 Te vaengah kut khaem hlang pakhat khoem om. Te dongah anih a paelnaeh ham te a dawt uh tih, “Sabbath ah hoeih sak ham tueng a?” a ti nah.
they asked Him, if it were lawful to heal on the sabbath-days? that they might accuse Him.
11 Tedae amih te, “Nangmih khuikah tu pakhat mai khaw aka khueh hlang om a te? Te te Sabbath ah rhom khuila cungku koinih lo pawt vetih doek mahpawt a?
But He said unto them, What man of you shall have one of his sheep fall into a pit on the sabbath-day, and will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
12 Hlang he tu lakah muep tanglue ta. Te dongah Sabbath ah a then saii he tueng ta,” a ti nah.
And of how much more worth is a man than a sheep? Sure then it is lawful to do good on the sabbath-days.
13 Te phoeiah tekah hlang te, “Na kut te yueng lah,” a ti nah tih koe a yueng. Te vaengah khat ben kah bangla a then la a hoeih pah.
Then saith He to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he stretched it out, and it was made sound like the other.
14 Tedae Pharisee rhoek tah cet uh tih anih te poci sak hamla dawtletnah a khueh uh.
But the pharisees went out of the synagogue and took counsel together against Him, how they might destroy Him:
15 Jesuh loh a ming vaengah te lamloh khoe uh. Te vaengah anih te hlangping loh muep a vai. Te dongah amih te boeih a hoeih sak.
but Jesus knew it, and withdrew from thence; and great multitudes followed Him with their sick,
16 Tedae amah te mingpha la saii pawt ham amih te a uen.
and he healed them all, charging them not to make Him known:
17 Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah loh a thui tih,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant whom I have chosen,
18 Ka sal he ne, anih ni ka coelh. Anih soah ka thintlo ka hinglu loh a lungtlun. A pum dongah ka mueihla ka khueh vetih, namtom taengah tiktamnah a thui ni.
my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon Him, and He shall declare judgement to the nations: He shall not contend,
19 Anih long tah oelhtaih mahpawh, hohaem mahpawh. A ol te toltung ah pakhat long khaw ya mahpawh.
nor cry aloud, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets:
20 Tiktamnah te voelphoengnah la a khuen hlan atah capu aka paep te khaem pawt vetih thut aka nap khaw thih mahpawh.
a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax he will not extinguish, till He send forth judgement victorious.
21 A ming te khaw namtom rhoek loh a ngaiuep ni,” a ti te a soep eh.
And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
22 Te phoeiah rhaithae a kaem olmueh mikdael te a taengla a khuen uh tih anih te a hoeih sak. Te daengah olmueh te cal thai tih kho a hmuh thai.
Then was brought to Him a demoniac, who was blind and dumb; and he healed Him, so that the blind and dumb man both spake and saw:
23 Te vaengah hlangping khaw boeih limlum uh tih, “Anih he David capa la om mai khaming,” a ti uh.
and all the multitudes were amazed, and said, "Is not this the Son of David?"
24 Tedae Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah, “Anih tah rhaithae rhoek kah boei Belzebul nen pawt koinih rhaithae he haek mahpawh,” a ti uh.
which the pharisees hearing, said, "He only casts out demons by the help of Beelzebub the prince of the devils."
25 Amih kah poeknah te a hmuh vaengah, “Amamih aka paekboe ram tah boeih poci tih, amamih aka paekboe khopuei neh im boeih tah cak mahpawh.
But Jesus, who well knew their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate; and no city, or family, divided against itself can stand:
26 Satan loh Satan te haek koinih amah neh amamih paekboe uh ni ta. Te vaengah a ram loh metlam a pai eh?
if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
27 Kai loh Beezebul rhangneh rhaithae ka haek koinih, na ca rhoek tah u rhangnen lae a haek uh. He dongah amih tah nangmih kah laitloekkung la om uh ni.
And if I cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whom do your own people cast them out? wherefore they shall be your judges:
28 Tedae Pathen Mueihla rhangneh kai loh rhaithae ka haek atah nangmih taengah Pathen kah ram ha pai coeng dongah ni.
but if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then certainly the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Aka tlung te lamhma la a pin pawt atah metlam lae aka tlung kah im khuila a kun vetih hnopai te a poelyoe pah thai eh? a pin phoei daengah ni im te a muk eh.
Or, how can any one enter into the house of a strong man, and take away his goods, unless he first overpower the strong man? and then indeed he may strip his house.
30 Kai taengah aka om pawt tah kai neh hlihloeh la om tih, kai taengah aka cut pawt loh a thaek.
He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
31 He dongah nangmih taengah kan thui, tholhnah neh soehsalnah cungkuem dongah hlang he dongah hlah pah ni, tedae, Mueihla ben kah soehsalnah tah tholh hlah mahpawh.
Wherefore, I tell you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the holy Spirit shall not be forgiven them:
32 Hlang capa te ol aka tha thil te khaw dongah hlah pueng ni. Tedae Mueihla Cim te aka cal thil te tah tahae tue neh aka lo ham dongah khaw anih te tholh hlah pah mahpawh. (aiōn g165)
and if any one speak against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him: but if any one speak against the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this life, nor in that to come. (aiōn g165)
33 Thing then loh a thaih a then sak tih thing thae loh a thaih a thae sak. Te dongah thing he a thaih loh a mingpha sak.
Either allow the tree to be good, and it's fruit good; or shew the tree to be corrupt, and it's fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by it's fruit.
34 Rhulthae rhoek kah casak rhoek, a thae la na om uh lalah metlamlae a then te na thui uh thai eh. Thinko kah a baecoih te na ka loh a thui.
O race of vipers, how can ye speak good things, who are yourselves so wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Hlang then loh khohrhang then khuikah a then a sat tih, hlang thae loh khohrhang thae khuikah a thae a sat.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart produceth good things; and a wicked man out of the wicked treasure uttereth wicked things:
36 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, palyal olka aka thui rhoek boeih te laitloeknah khohnin ah hlang loh te ham te olka a thuung uh ni.
but I tell you, that of every idle word, which men shall speak, they shall give an account in the day of judgement; for by thy words thou shalt be justified,
37 Na ol loh n'tang sak vetih na ol loh n'boe sak ni,” a ti nah.
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Te phoeiah cadaek rhoek hlangvang neh Pharisee rhoek loh Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Saya nang taengkah miknoek hmuh ham ka ngaih uh,” a ti nauh.
Then some of the scribes and pharisees answered Him, saying, Master, we should be glad to see a sign from thee:
39 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Boethae neh samphaih cadil rhoek loh miknoek tlap cakhaw, tonghma Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek m'pae mahpawh.
but He replied and said unto them, This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:
40 Jonah tah nga bung khuiah khothaih hnin thum neh khoyin hnin thum a om bangla hlang capa tah diklai ko khuiah khothaih hnin thum neh khoyin hnin thum om van ni.
for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Laitloeknah hnin ah Nineveh hlang rhoek tah hekah cadil taengah pai uh vetih a boe sak ni. Jonah kah olhoe dongah amih yut uh. Tedae hekah aka om he Jonah lakah len dae ta he.
So that the men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold a greater than Jonas is here.
42 Tuithim boeinu tah Solomon kah cueihnah hnatun hamla diklai bawt lamkah loh ha pawk dongah tahae kah cadil he laitloeknah ah a pai thil vetih a boe sak ni. Tedae heah he Solomon lakah aka len om dae ta he.
The queen of the South too, shall rise up in the day of judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
43 Mueihla thae loh hlang lamkah a coe phoeiah tuihang hmuen boeih ah cet tih duemnah a toem dae hmu pawh.
Now when an impure spirit is gone out of a man, he wanders through dry desert places, seeking rest, and findeth none:
44 Te vaengah ka caeh tangtae te ka im la ka bal ni a ti. Te dongah, a pawk vaengah hoeng, nawt tangtae neh, khoem tangtae, la a hmuh.
then saith he, I will return into my house, that I came out of; and when he cometh, he findeth it empty, swept, and set off to advantage:
45 Te phoeiah cet tih amah lakah aka thae mueihla a tloe parhih te amah taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah te rhoek ah kun uh tih kho a sak. Te dongah te hlang te lamhma kah lakah a hnukkhueng kah a om te thae. Tahae kah cadil he khaw rhaithae lam ni a om tangkhuet eh,” a ti. p
then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and so the last state of that man is worse than the first. And thus shall it be to this wicked generation.
46 Hlangping te a voek li vaengah a manu neh a mana rhoek loh anih te voek ham a toem uh tih poeng ah pakcak pai uh.
Now as He was yet discoursing to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, and desired to speak to Him:
47 Te dongah pakhat loh, “Na nu neh na mana rhoek loh nang voek ham n'toem tih poeng ah pai uh ke,” a ti nah.
and somebody said to Him, "Here are thy mother and thy brethren standing without, desiring to speak to thee."
48 Te dongah amah aka voek te, “Unim kai manu? U rhoek nim kai mana rhoek?” a ti nah.
But in answer to him that told Him, He said, "Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?"
49 Te phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek taengla a kut a yueng tih, “Kai manu neh kai mana rhoek la he.
and stretching out his hand towards his disciples, He said, "Behold my mother and my brethren:"
50 Vaan kah a Pa kongaih aka saii te tah ka manuca neh ngannu nganca neh manu la om,” a ti nah.
for whosoever doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is to me as my brother and sister and mother.
