Luke 11
1 Hypoet taw Bawipa Jesu amah doeng hun oet awh cykcah hy. Ak cykcah coengawh, a hubat pynoet ing a venawh, “Bawipa, Johan ing a hubatkhqi cykcahnaak a cawngpyi a myihna cykcahnaak ni cawngpyi lawt lah,” tina hy.
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 Cedawngawh a mingmih a venawh, “Namik cykcah awh vemyihna cykcah uh, “Kaimih a Pa, nang ming kqihchahnaak awm seh,
And he said to them, When you pray, say, Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Myngawi ai tat buh ni pek khqi lah.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Thlakthawlh ak khan awh qeenkhaw ka ming ngai a myihna, kaimih a thawlhnaak awh qeenkhaw ngai law lah. Sykzoeknaak awh koeh ni sawi khqi,” tinak khqi hy.
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 Cekcoengawh a mingmih a venawh, “Nangmih ak khuiawh thlang pynoet ing pyi pynoet ta mai lah seh, thanlung awh cawhkaw a pyi pynoet a venawh cet nawh, ‘Ka pyi, phaihpi cun thum awh nik pu cang lah,
And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 khawlawng nakaw ka pyi law nawh, ka toen peek ham ikaw am ta nyng,' tina hy.
For a friend of my in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 Cawh ipkhui na ak awm thlang ing, ‘koeh ni ngeu koeh ni lawn; chawh khai hawh nyng, ka cakhqi awm ip boeih hawh uhy, tho nawh am ni pe hly thai voel nyng,’ tina hy.
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you.
8 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ce am tho nawh phaihpi ce am pe thai hy, thoeh khak saw a pyi na a awm a dawngawh tho kawmsaw a ngaih zah pe kaw.
I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
9 Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi: Thoeh lah ni pe kaw; sui lah hu kawp ti; khoek lah nang aham awngna awm kaw.
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 Ak thoeh ingtaw dang nawh; ak sui ingtaw hu hy; ak khoek thlang aham chawh ce awng pe kaw.
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
11 Nangmih pa na namik awmkhqi ak khuiawh, na ca ing phaihpi a thoeh mantaw lung ak pe namik awm hly nu? Nga a thoeh awh khqui namik pe hly nu?
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Aihtui a thoeh mantaw ceita-ai namik pe hly nu?
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 Nangmih thlak leek am khqi ing za, nami cakhqi aham ik-oeih leek peek aham nami sim awhtaw, khawk khan nakaw ak awm pa ing ak thoehkhqi venawh Ciim Myihla ce izah nu a peek khqoet kaw!” tinak khqi hy.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 Jesu ing awi amak pau thai thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng qaai ce hqek pehy. Qaai ing anih ce a cehtaak coengawh, awi ak myh thlang ce pau hy, cedawngawh thlang kqeng amik kawpoek kyi hy.
And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
15 Cehlai thlang kqeng ingtaw, “Beelzebub” qaaikhqi ak caming ni qaai a hqek,” tina uhy.
But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 Ak chang tloek bai ingtaw, khan benna kaw hatnaak huh sak aham noek a dak uhy.
And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 Jesu ing a mingmih ak kawpoek ce a sim dawngawh a mingmih a venawh: “Qam awm a ming phek bo qu awhtaw qeeng kaw; ipkhui awm aming phek bo qu awhtaw tlu kaw.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falls.
18 Setan awm a ming phek bo qu mantaw, ikawmyihna a qam ang dyih thai kaw? Kai ing Beelzebub ak caming qaaikhqi hqek hy namiti a dawngawh ve ak awi ka nik kqawn peek khqi.
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 Kai ing qaaikhqi ce Beelzebub ak caming ka hqek khqi awhtaw u ak caming nu nangmih a hubatkhqi ing qaaikhqi ami hqek lawt? Cawhtaw a mingmih ce nangmih awi anik dengkungkhqi na awm hawh kawm uh ce.
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 Cehlai qaaikhqi ce Khawsa kutply ing ka hqek awhtaw, Khawsa qam taw nangmih a venawh pha hawh hy.
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come on you.
21 Ak thamah thlang ing, ak cimsum pala toen nawh a im ce a qeh awhtaw a khawhkhamkhqi ce syng hy.”
When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 Cehlai ak thamah khqoet thlang ing anih ce tu nawh a noeng awhtaw, anih ing a ypnaak cimsum pala ce a lawh peek coengawh a khawhkhamkhqi ce plam pe kaw.
But when a stronger than he shall come on him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23 U awm kai ama nik dyih pyi taw kai anik qaalnaak na awm nawh, u awm kai ama nik cawi pyi taw ak theh thlang na awm hy.
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathers not with me scatters.
24 Qaaiche pynoet ce thlang ak kawk khuiawh kawng ak cawn coengawh, cet hyhy nawh dymnaak ce sui hlai hy am hu hy. Cekcoengawh taw, ‘ka cehtaak im na ce cet tlaih mai vang nyng,’ tihy.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house from where I came out.
25 Voei tlaih nawh a toek awh, im nawt qu hqeet nawh ak cimcaih na ak awm ce hu hy.
And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.
26 Cawhtaw amah anglakawh ak se khqoet qaai khqih ce law pyi nawh ami lut coengawh awm uhy. Cawh cawhkaw thlang ce ak cyk awhkawng lakawh nauh khqoet hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 Ve ak awi ve Jesu ing ak kqawn awh, thlang kqeng ak khuiawh kaw nu pynoet ing, “Nang anik takung ingkaw suk anik awk sakkung nu taw a zoseen soeih hy,” tina hy.
And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you have sucked.
28 Jesu ing, “Khawsa ak awi za nawh ak ngaikhqi ce ami zoseen khqoet hy,” tina hy.
But he said, Yes rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 Thlang a doem law khqoet khqoet awh, Jesu ing, “Tuhawhkaw cadilkhqi ve cadil chekhqi ni. Kawpoek kyi hatnaak ce sui hlai uhy, Jonah a hatnaak doeng am awhtaw ak chang hatnaak am hu kawm uh.
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 Jonah taw Nenivi thlangkhqi hatnaak na a awm myihna, Thlanghqing Capa awm tuhawhkaw cadilkhqi hamna hatnaak na awm lawt kaw.
For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Awi dengnaak khawnghi awh kham benna kaw Sangphrang nu taw ve a cadil awhkaw thlangkhqi mi dyi haih kawmsaw a mingmih ce thawlh sak kaw; kawtih anih cetaw Solomon a cyihnaak ak ngai na law hy, tuh Solomon anglakawh ak bau khqoet awm hy.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 Nenivi awhkaw thlangkhqi ce awidengnaak nyn awh ve a cadil awhkaw thlangkhqi ing boe hly sak uhy; kawtih a mingmih cetaw Jonah ak awih kqawnnaak awh zut uhy, Jonah anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
33 U ingawm mai a vang awh ik-oeih ing a hlipnaak awh am ta khawi hy, dawn ingawm am myk khawi hy. Ipkhui awh amik law thlangkhqi ing vangnaak ce ami huh thainaak aham, maih vang a mim hawihnaak awh ni a mim hawih hy.
No man, when he has lighted a candle, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 Mik taw pum a maivang na awm hy. Na mik a leek mantaw na pum boeih ce dang hy.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when your eye is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Na pum awhkaw maihvang ak awm ce amam thannaak aham ngaih ta lah uh.
Take heed therefore that the light which is in you be not darkness.
36 Cedawngawh, na pum boeih ce dang nawh, am thannaak ve tehca awm ama awm awhtaw, na pum ce maivang ing ak coei amyihna dang boeih kaw,” tinaak khqi hy.
If your whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle does give you light.
37 Ve ak awikhqi ak kqawn boeih coengawh, Farasi thlang pynoet ing a im awh buh ak pan na Jesu ce khy hy; cedawngawh anih a im na buh ak pan na cet hy.
And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee sought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 Cehlai Jesu ing kut a silh kaana buh a ai ce Farasi thlang ing a huh awh ang ngaih na kyi hy.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 Cawh Bawipa ing a venawh, “Nangmih Farasikhqi ing boet awm, beei awm a leng ben taw sil pai hlai uhyk ti, ak khui benna taw ak pyh ngaihnaak ingkaw thawlhnaak ing be uhy.
And the Lord said to him, Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Nangmih thlakqawkhqi! Ak khan ben ak silkung ing ak khui ben awm am sil nawh nu?
You fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 Beei ak khuiawh ak awmkhqi ce hahqahkhqi venawh pe lah uh, cawhtaw nangmih aham ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce caih kaw.
But rather give alms of such things as you have; and, behold, all things are clean to you.
42 Nangmih Farasi tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, nangmih ing sawngsing paiboeng ingkaw tawi a an soepkep dyt awh pahqa pynoet pe pai hlai uhyk ti, dyngnaak ingkaw Khawsa a lungnaak ce dalqa na uhyk ti. A hu awh kawk khqi ve a hlah phlam kaana lamma awhkawk khqi ce awm nami sai aham awm hy.
But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these you should have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Nangmih Farasi tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, sinakawk awh ngawihnaak ak leek leek awh na ming ngawih lungna unawh ik-oeih zawihnaak hun awh thlang ing kqihchahnaak ani peekkhqi ce ngaih uhyk ti.
Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Nangmih khaw map uhyk ti, nangmih taw mik hatnaak amak awm phyi, thlang ing a leh mailai ing myih uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Anaa awi ak lah ing Jesu ak awi ce hlat pehy, “Cawngpyikung, ve a ik-oeihkhqi ve nak kqawn awh kaimih awm ni zyi khqi pahoei hawh hyk ti,” tina hy.
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying you reproach us also.
46 Jesu ing, “Nangmih anaa awi ak sim tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, thlang ing a noeng tloei phyih ce phyih sak uhyk ti, cehlai na mimah ingtaw nami kutply pynoet ca ingawm bi aham am ngaih uhyk ti.
And he said, Woe to you also, you lawyers! for you lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Nangmih khaw map uhyk ti, nami pakhqi ing ami na him tawnghakhqi ak phyi imkhqi ce sak pe uhyk ti.
Woe to you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Cedawngawh nami pakhqi ing ami na sai ce nangmih ing caksak hawh uhyk ti; nami pakhqi ing tawnghakhqi ce ana him uhy, nangmih ing tawnghakhqi ak phyi im ce sak pe uhyk ti.
Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers.
49 Ve a dawngawh, Khawsa ing a cyihnaak ing, ‘Tawnghakhqi ingkaw ceityihkhqi ce a mingmih a venawh tyih pe kawng nyng saw, thlang vang ce a mingmih ing him kawm uh, thlang vang ce the a kha na kawm uh,’ tina hy.
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 Cedawngawh khawmdek a syn cyk awhkawng tawnghakhqi boeih a thi ak lawng ce ve a khuk awhkaw thlangkhqi a hut na awm hawh hy.
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 A bel a thi awhkawng bawkthang ingkaw beeknaak a hun anglak law awh ami him Zekariah a thi dyna. Oeih, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, vemyihkhqi boeih ve ve a khuk awhkaw thlangkhqi hut na awm kaw.
From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: truly I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Anaa awi ak sim nangmih tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, nangmih ing cyihnaak cabi ce ak chang na ta valh uhyk ti. Na mimah awm am kun uhyk ti, kun aham ak ngaih thlangkhqi aham awm kham pe lak law uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.
53 Jesu ing ce a hun ce a cehtaak coengawh, Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing anih ak khanawh amik kaw am law nawh awi khawzah doet uhy,
And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 awi ak kqawnnaak awh a thawlhnaak tu peek aham doen uhy.
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
