Matthai 19
1 Jesuh loh he rhoek kah ol boeih he bawt a khah phoeiah Galilee lamloh nong tih Jordan rhalvangan Judea vaang la pawk.
And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
2 Te vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a vai uh tih amih rhoek te pahoi a hoeih sak.
And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.
3 Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh tih a noemcai uh. Te vaengah, “Paelnaehnah khat khat dongah a yuu hla koinih tongpa ham tueng aya? a ti na uh.
And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Tedae Jesuh loh a doo tih, “A tongcuek lamkah aka suen loh amih rhoi tongpa neh huta bueng a saii te na tae uh moenih a?
And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,
5 Tedae he kongah ni, 'tongpa loh a manu neh a napa te a imphael tak ni. Te vaengah a yuu taengah kap vetih panit te pumsa pakhat la om ni,’ a ti.
For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
6 Te dongah panit lo pawt tih pumsa khat coeng ni. Te dongah Pathen loh a yingyawn sak te hlang loh maa sak boel saeh,” a ti nah.
So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.
7 Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Balae tih yuuhlaknah cayol te paek tih tueih ham Moses loh a uen,” a ti na uh.
They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?
8 Amih te, “Nangmih kah thinthahnah kongah ni na yuu te hlak ham te Moses loh nangmih m'paek. Tedae a tongcuek lamloh te te a om moenih.
He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.
9 Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, Cukhalnah kawng pawt ah a yuu a hlak tih a tloe aka lo te tah samphaih coeng,” a ti nah.
And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.
10 A hnukbang rhoek loh amah taengah, “A yuu taengah a va kah paelnaehnah om tangloeng koinih vasak te rhoei mahpawh,” a ti na uh.
The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married.
11 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te, “Hekah ol he hlang boeih loh a khingmong thai moenih. Tedae a paek rhoek long ni a khingmong thai.
But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
12 Manu bung lamloh hlueikhu la aka thaang te khaw om van. Hlang lamloh a hlueikhu sak hlueikhu te om. Vaan ram kongah amah aka hlueikhu, hlueikhu te khaw om. Aka khingmong thai loh khingmong saeh,” a ti nah.
For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.
13 Te phoeiah amih kut tloeng tih thangthui sak ham camoe rhoek te a taengla a khuen uh. Tedae amih te hnukbang rhoek loh a ho uh.
Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.
14 Tedae Jesuh loh, “Camoe rhoek te hlah uh lamtah kai taengla ha pawk ham atah amih te kanghalh uh boeh, vaan ram tah amih ham ni a om,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Amih soah kut a tloeng tih te lamloh vik cet.
And he put his hands on them, and went away.
16 Te phoeiah hlang pakhat loh Jesuh taengla pakcak a paan tih, “Saya, dungyan hingnah ka khueh ham mebang hno then nim ka saii eh,” a ti nah. (aiōnios g166)
And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Tedae Jesuh loh anih te, “Balae tih kai he a then kawng nan dawt? A then pakhat ni a om. Tedae hingnah khuila kun na ngaih atah olpaek te tuem,” a ti nah.
And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.
18 Jesuh te, “Mebang nim,” a ti nah. Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Hlang ngawn boeh, samphaih boeh, huencan boeh, laithae boeh
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,
19 Na nu neh na pa hinyah lamtah na imben te namah bangla lungnah,” a ti nah.
Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
20 Cadong loh, “He rhoek he boeih ka tuem coeng, balae ka phavawt bal pueng?” a ti nah.
The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?
21 Jesuh loh anih te, “Lungcuei la om na ngaih atah cet lamtah na khuehtawn te yoi. Te phoeiah khodaeng te pae. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na khueh eh. Te phoeiah kai pahoi m'vai,” a ti nah.
Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.
22 Tedae cadong tah hnopai muep aka khueh la a om dongah ol te a yaak vaengah kothae doeah cet.
But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.
23 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a hnukbang rhoek te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, kuirhang tah vaan ram ah kun tloel ni.
And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Te phoeiah nangmih taengah koep kan thui, kuirhang te Pathen ram khuiah a kun lakah kalauk te phamet khui longah a ael ke yoeikoek la om,” a ti nah.
And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.
25 Hnukbang rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah let uh dahlawt tih, “Te koinih ulae khang la aka om eh?” a ti uh.
And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation?
26 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a sawt tih, “He he hlang taengah a tloel la om, tedae Pathen taengah boeih coeng thai,” a ti nah.
And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Te vaengah Peter loh a doo tih, “Kaimih tah rhoepsaep boeih ka toeng uh tih, namah kam vai uh coeng he. Te koinih kaimih ham balae aka om eh?” a ti nah.
Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?
28 Te dongah Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, nangmih loh kai nam vai uh coeng. Hlang capa tah koepcunnah dongah a thangpomnah ngolkhoel sola ngol ni. Nangmih khaw ngolkhoel hlainit soah na ngol uh vetih Israel koca hlainit te lai na tloek uh ni.
And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Kai ming kongah a im a lo boeih, manuca rhoek, ngannu rhoek, a manu napa, a ca rhoek, aka toeng boeih te tah a pueh yakhat a dang vetih dungyan hingnah a pang ni. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Tedae lamhma khaw hnukkhueng la, hnukkhueng khaw lamhma la muep om uh ni.
But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.
