Luke 13
1 Cawh, ce nyn awh thlang vang law unawh, cekkhqi ing Galili qam thlang, Pilat ing thi, ami Khawsa bawknaak awh khqin himnaak awh a pa sak khqi awithang ce Jesu theen uhy.
There were present also at the same time some who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Jesu ing, “Cawhkaw Kalili thlangkhqi ce ak chang Kalili thlang khqi anglakawh ami thawlh bet dawngawh ni cemyihna ami zawk hy, tinawh namik poek nawh nu?
And he answering said to them, Do ye think that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered such things?
3 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cekkhqi ce am thawlh bet uhy! Cehlai nangmih awm am naming zut awhtaw, plawci lawt kawm uk ti.
I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
4 Am awhtaw, Siloam ip sang ang tluk awh thlang hlaihkqet a kyih qen ce, Jerusalem awhkaw thlang khqing lak awh ami thawlh bet dawngawh vani hy voei tinawh namik poek nawh nu?
Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cekkhqi ce am thawlh bet uhy! Cehlai nangmih awm am naming zut awhtaw plawci lawt kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
6 Cekcoengawh vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy: “Thlang pynoet ing a misur dum khuiawh thai thing ce ling hy. Hypoet awhtaw thai ak thaih ce bit aham cet moe seinu, ak thaih pynoet ca awm am hu hy.
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Cedawngawh misur dum ak qehkung a venawh cet nawh, ‘kup thum khuiawh thai qah bih aham law hawh hlai nyng ak thaih pynoet awm am hu nyng. Hlu mai hlah! Dek ak kang qung,’ tina hy.
Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and have found none; cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 Misur dum ak qehkung ing, “Bawipa, kum oet taw ta mai cang, a kengsamkhqi cawh pe nyng seitaw, dek ak leek ing vyih cang vang nyng.
And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;
9 Cawhkawng a kum voel awh a qah awhtaw nep bit kaw! Cehlai ama qah bai vik awhtaw hlu dam bit kawp ti,’ tina hy,” tinak khqi hy.
and if it bear fruit hereafter, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Sabbath nyn hypoet awh Jesu ing sinakawk pynoet ak khuiawh thlang cawngpyi hy,
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 cawh kum hlaihkhqet ak khawn nu pynoet ce cawh awm hy. Am ting khun qapsat nawh am dyng na am dyi thai hy.
And lo! there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent together, and wholly unable to lift herself up.
12 Jesu ing cawhkaw nu ce a huh awh, hai na khy nawh, “Nang nu, thawlhnaak awhkawng loet hawh hyk ti,” tina hy.
And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art set free from thy infirmity.
13 Ak khan awh a kut tloeng pehy, cawh cawhkaw nu ce am dyng na dyi pahoei nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy.
And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she stood upright, and gave glory to God.
14 Sabbath nyn awh Jesu ing thlak tlo a qoei sak dawngawh, sinakawk ukkung ce kawso doena thlang kqeng a venawh, “Bibinaak aham khaw kquk nyn awm hy. Cawh law unawh taw nami tlawhnaakkhqi ce qoei sak uh, Sabbath nyn awhtaw koeh qoei sak uh,” tina hy.
But the ruler of the synagogue answering, being filled with indignation because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it is proper to work; on those therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day.
15 Bawipa ing cawhkaw sinakawk ukkung a venawh, “Nangmih thlak thaikhqi! Nangmih ing Sabbath nyn awh nami vaitaw mai aw, am awhtaw meqang mai aw a qui hlam pe unawh tui am nami awk sak nawh nu?
But the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away and water him?
16 Cawhtaw vawhkaw nu, Abraham a canu pynoet na ak awm, qaai ing khaw kum hqa hlaihkhqet khuiawh a pin ce Sabbath nyn awh amni hlam pe hly unawh nu? tinak khqi hy.
And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo! for eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
17 Ve ak awi ak kqawn awh, a qaalkhqi boeih taw chak uhy, cehlai anih a ik-oeih sainaak awh ce thlangkhqi taw zeel uhy.
And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Jesu ing vemyihna doet hy, “Khawsa qam ve ikaw ing nu a ning myih hy voei? Ikawng nu ka nyhtah lah voei?
He said therefore, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
19 Khawsa qam taw thlang ing antlam cii lo nawh dum khuiawh ak theh ing myih hy. Cawhkaw antlam cii ce cawt nawh a thing na dyi law hy, khan nakaw phakhqi law unawh a pang awh ce ngawi uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.
20 Cekcoengawh vemyihna doet tlaih bai hy, “Ikawng nu Khawsa qam ve ka nyhtah lah voei?
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Khawsa qam taw nu ing vaidam dawn khuih thum ak khuiawh hen a zamnaak boeih aham a phul ing myih hy,” tinak khqi hy.
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing Jerusalem na a ceh awh khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi awh ce thlang cawngpyi noe noe hy.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.
23 Thlang pynoet ing “Bawipa, thlang a khoehca doeng ing nu thawngnaak a huh kaw?” tinawh doet hy.
And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them,
24 Cekkhqi venawh, “Chawmkeng ak ceek khuiawh kun ngah ngah lah uh, kawtih thlang khawzah ing kun aham tha lo hly hlai uhy am kun thai kawm uh.
Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 Imkung ing tho nawh chawh ce a khaih coengawh taw, a leng na dyi kawm utik saw chawh ce khoek kawm uk ti, ‘Bawipa chawh awng law lah,’ tina kawm uk ti. “Cehlai anih ing, ‘Amni sim khqi nyng, hana kawng nu nami law hy,’ ni tinak khqi kaw.
When once the master of the house shall have risen, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I know not whence ye are;
26 Cawh nangmih ing, “Nang ing buh a an ni aw ni ai haih saw kaw, lam awh awm ni cawngpyi tik saw kaw,” tina kawm uk ti.
then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets.
27 Cehlai anih ing, ‘Amni sim khqi nyng, hana kawng nu nami law hy. Nangmih thawlhnaak ak saikhqi, ak chang na cet uh!’ ni tinak khqi kaw.
And he will say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 Abraham, Isaak, Jakob ingkaw tawnghakhqi boeih Khawsa qam khuiawh ami awm ce nami huh awh, nangmih taw a leng na kqangnaak ingkaw hatahnaak a hun awh awm kawm uk ti.
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth there, when ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.
29 Khaw law khawtlak, a sip a hawt benna kawng thlangkhqi law kawm usaw, Khawsa qam khuiawh buh veelnaak kung awh ngawi kawm uh.
And from the east and the west and the north and the south will men come, and take their places at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Hu ak khyngkhqi ce ma kawm usaw, ak makhqi ce hu khyng lat kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
And lo! there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
31 Cawh Farasi thlang a vangkhqi ce Jesu a venna law unawh a venawh, “Ve a hun ve cehta nawh ak chang na cet hlah. Herod ing nang him aham ngaih hy,” tina uhy.
In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee.
32 Jesu ing, “Cet unawh taw ak thai ngentang ce kqawn pe uh, “Tuhngawi awh awm khawngawi awh awm qaaikhqi hqek kawng nyng saw thlak tlokhqi qoei sak kawng, am thum nyn awh kang cainaak ce coeng kawg nyng’ tihy tina uh.
And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Lo! I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I make an end.
33 Kawmih awh awm, tuhngawi, khawngawi ingkaw tiktuh dy ka ceh qoe qoe aham awm hy, tawngha ikawmyih awm Jerusalem khawceng awh am thi thai hy!
But to-day and to-morrow and the next day I must go on; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.
34 Aw Jerusalem, Jerusalem, tawnghakhqi ak himkung ingkaw na venawh a tyih lawkhqi lung ing ak khawngkung, ai nu ing a cakhqi ang hlak khui awh ang koep sih amyihna, na cakhqi izah nu hqui sawi aham, ka ngaih ce, nang ingtaw am ngaih hyk ti!
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Toek lah, na im ve a sit qak nani ami cehtaak hyt hawh hy. Ka nik kqawn peek, ‘Bawipa ming ing ak law taw a zoseen hy,’ tinawh nak kqawn hlan dy taw kai ve amni hu qoe voel kawp ti,” tina hy.
Lo! your house is abandoned to you. I declare to you, Ye will not see me until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
