Luke 22
1 Loentaak poei ami ti uh, hen amak boei phaihpi poei taw zoe ca hawh hy,
It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
2 Khawsoih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing thlang kqeng ce amik kqih dawngawh Jesu ce him thainaak aham a lam ce sui uhy.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
3 Cawh thlanghqa hlaihih ak khuiawh kaw Iskariot ami ti Judah ak kawk khuiawh Setan ce kun hy.
Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
4 Judah ce khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw bawkim ak ukkung boeikhqi venna cet nawh ikawmyihna Jesu ce a mingmih a venawh ka zawihnaak lah voei, tice doet qu uhy.
Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
5 Cekkhqi ce amik kaw zeel nawh tangka peek aham awi ta uhy.
They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
6 Cekkhqi venawh awi ce ta nawh thlang kqeng ama awm awh Jesu ce a mingmih a venawh peek thainaak aham a tym leek ce sui hy.
So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
7 Cehtaak poei Tuuca hyih phumnaak hen amak boei phaihpi khawnghi ce pha law hy.
Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
8 Jesu ing Piter ingkaw Johan ce tyi nawh, “Cet nih nawhtaw Cehtaak poei buh ainaak aham qoek a bah nih,” tina qawi hy.
So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
9 Cekkqawi ing, Han awh nu sai sak aham na ngaih? tina hy nih.
They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
10 Cekkqawi na ce, “Khawk bau khuina nani lut kqoeng awh, tui pumawh tui ak doeng thlang pynoet ing ning hqum qawi kaw. Anih a cehnaak im na ce cet nih nawh,
He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
11 imkung a venawh, ‘Cawngpyikung ing: ka hubatkhqi mi cehtaak poei buh ka mi veelnaak aham a hun ce han nawh nu a awm?’ tihy, tina nih.
tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
12 Cawh anih ing ipkhui ak kau soeih a ciimcaih ce nim huh qawi bit kaw. Amah cawh ce qoek a bah law nih moe,” tina qawi hy.
He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
13 Cekkqawi ce cet nih nawh Jesu ing ak kqawn peek qawi myihna hu hy nih. Amah cawh ce cehtaak poei buh ce qoek a bah hy nih.
So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
14 A tym a khoeh awh, Jesu ingkaw a hubatkhqi ce buh ak vel na caboei awh ngawi uhy.
When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
15 Cawh a mingmih a venawh, “Khuikhanaak ka huh hlan awh vawhkaw cehtaak poei buh ve nangmih mi vel haih aham ngaih nyng.
He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
16 Kawtih ka nik kqawn peek khqi, Khawsa ram awh a soepnaak a awm hlan dy awhtaw, ve a buh ve am ai voel kawng nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
17 Phaihpi ce lo nawh, zeelawi ak kqawn coengnawh, “Ve ve lo unawh pe qu lah uh.
Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
18 Khawsa ram a pha hlan dy taw misur tui ve am aw voel qoe kawng nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
19 Cekcoengawh phaihpi ce lo nawh zeelnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh thek nawh, a mingmih ce pek khqi hy, “Ve ve ka sa, nangmih aham peekna ak awm hly ce ni; nami ni simnaak poe aham sai law uh,” tinak khqi hy.
Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
20 Cemih lawtna boet ce lo nawh zeelnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh, “Ve ak boet taw nangmih aham ka hawk ka thi awhkaw awikam thai ni.
Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
21 Cehlai kai anik zawi hlykung a kut taw kai a kut ingqawi ve caboei awh awm haih hy.
But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
22 Thlanghqing Capa taw awitaak ce amyihna cet kaw, cehlai anih ak zawikung cetaw a haikhaw map hy,” tinak khqi hy.
[It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
23 U ing nu cemih ik-oeih ce a sai kaw, tinawh a mimah ce doet qu uhy.
Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
24 A mimah tloek ak khuiawh u nu ak bau soeih tice oelh qu bai uhy.
[The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
25 Jesu ing, “Gentelkhqi a Sangpahrangkhqi ing ni thlangkhqi ak khan awh uknaak ce ami taak uh; cemyihna thlang ak khan awh uknaak ak takungkhqi ce ik-oeih leek ak sai peekkungkhqi na ngai uhy.
So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
26 Cehlai nangmih taw cemyihna am awm kawm uk ti. Nangmih anglakawh ak bau khyt ing ce ak zawi khyt myihna a awm aham awm hy, ukkung ing bibikung myihna a awm ham awm hy.
But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
27 U nu ak bau bet, buh ai aham caboei awh ak ngawi nu, am awhtaw, buh ak lokung nu? Cehlai kai taw nangmih anglakawh bibikung na awm nyng.
Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
28 Nangmih taw sykzoeknaak ka huh awh ka venawh awm poe uhyk ti.
You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
29 Ka pa ing qam ce ka venawh ani peek amyihna, nangmih a venawh ni pek khqi lawt nyng,
So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
30 nangmih ing ka ram awh buh a an aw a ai unawh Israel thlang hlaihih ce awi nami dengnaak thai aham ngawihdoelh awh ce ngawi kawm uk ti.
so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 Simon, Simon, Setan ing nang ce cang vam amyihna vam aham ni ngaih hy.
“Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
32 Cehlai, Simon, nak cangnaak amang tluknaak aham nang aham cykcah hawh nyng. Na hu na nang voei tlaih awh ce na koeinaakhqi tha awm sak lah,” tina hy.
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
33 Cehlai anih ing, “Bawipa, nang ing thawng tlak haih ham ingkaw thih haih aham awm oepchoeh na awm nyng,” tina hy.
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
34 Jesu ing, “Piter, ka nik kqawn peek, tuhngawi ai ang khawng hlan awh, thum voei nik khawng kawp ti,” tina hy.
Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
35 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh, “Kai ing tangka bawm, sawngsa ingkaw khawmyk kaana ka ni tyih khqi awh nami voet hlauhnaak ak awm nu? tinak khqi hy. A mingmih ing, “Am awm hy,” tina uhy.
Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
36 Cekkhqi na ce, “Cehlai tuh awhtaw tangka bawm nami taak awhtaw khyn uh, sawngsa awm, zawzi am nami taak awhtaw nami angki ce zawi unawh thlai uh.
Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
37 Anih ce thlak thawlhkhqi mi noet sih haih uhy, tinawh qee sut ce awm hy: ka nik kqawn peek khqi ve ak awi ve kai awh a soep aham awm hy. Oeih, kai akawng qee ce na ak awm ce soep tawm ca hawh hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
38 A hubat khqi ing, Toek lah, Bawipa, vawh zawzi pakkhih awm hy ve, tina uhy. Anih ing, “Ce zah mah, khoek hawh hy,” tinak khqi hy.
[One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
39 A ceh khawi amyihna Jesu taw Olive tlang na ce cet hy, a hubatkhqi ing a hu awh hquut uhy.
As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
40 Ami pha awh, cekkhqi venawh, “Syknaak ak khuiawh am naming tluknaak aham cykcah lah uh,” tinak khqi hy.
When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
41 Amah taw lung nik khawng choet a hlanaak na cet nawh, khuk sym doena cykcah hy.
Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
42 “Ka pa nak kawngaih awhtaw vawhkaw boet ve khoe law mai lah; cehlai kai ak kawngaih am seitaw, nang ak kawngaihnaak myihna awm hawn seh,” tina hy.
“[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
43 Cawh khan ceityih ce a venawh dang pe nawh anih ce tha pehy.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
44 Kawpoek kyi ingkaw khawsi ak dung soeih ing cykcah hy, am hlan tui ce thi amyihna dek na dyh cawp cawp hy.
He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
45 A cykcah boet coengawh tho nawh a hubatkhqi venna cet hy, cekkhqi taw amik kaw a set aih awh qoei unawh ami ih ce hu hy.
When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
46 “Ikawtih nami ih hqoeng? Sykzoeknaak khuiawh am naming tluknaak aham cykcah lah uh,” tinak khqi hy.
He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
47 Awi ak kqawn hui awh thlang kqeng ce law hy, thlanghqa hlaihih ak khuiawh kaw thlang pynoet, Judah ami ti ing cekkhqi ce lawpyi khqi hy. Jesu ce mawk aham a venna law hy,
While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
48 cehlai Jesu ing, “Judah, nang ing Thlanghqing Capa ve mawknaak ing na zawi nawh nu? tina hy.
Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
49 Cawhkaw ik-oeih ce Jesu a hubatkhqi ing ami huh awh, Zawzi ing ka mik boeng hly mai nu? tina uhy.
When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
50 Thlang pynoet ing khawsoeih boei a tyihzawih ce boeng hy, ang haa ce sek pe hlak hy.
One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
51 Jesu ing, “Ce tloek mah,” tina hy. Cawhkaw thlang ang haa ce bi pe nawh qoei sak tlaih hy.
But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
52 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing khawsoeih boeikhqi, bawkim ak ukkungkhqi, a hqamcakhqi ingkaw a venawh ak law thlangkhqi boeih a venawh, “Kai ve quk-ai na ka awm awh nu, zawzi ingkaw thingboeng ing nami ni law sih?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
53 Myngawi tempul kawngma awh nangmih ing ni awm haih awh, am nim tu uhyk ti. Cehlai ve ve nangmih a tym ni, thannaak ing a uk hui awh ve,” tinak khqi hy.
54 Anih ce tu unawh, khawsoeih boei khyt a im na khyn uhy. Cawh Piter ing ak hla nakawng qym hy.
They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
55 Cehlai im kawngma ang lung awh ce kutoet na ngawi unawh mai ami awm awh, Piter awm cekkhqi anglakawh ce ngawi lawt hy.
They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
56 Maikung awh ang ngawih ce nu tyihzoeih pynoet ing uhy. Toek ceet nawh, Ve ak thlang awm anih ingqawi awm haih lawt hy,” tina hy.
As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
57 Cehlai oelh hy Nang nu, anih ce am sim nyng, tina hy.
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 A khoeh a awm coengawh thlak chang pynoet ing hu bai nawh a venawh, Nang awm a mingmih ak khuiawh kaw thlang lawt ni, tina hy. Cawh Piter ing, Kai amni,” tina hy.
A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
59 Khawnoek pynoet tluk a dii coengawh thlang pynoet bai ing, Ve ak thlang awm anih ingqawi awm haih meqee hy nih, Kalili thlang na awm awm bai hy, tina hy.
About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
60 Piter ing, Nak kqawn ce a sim na am sim qoe nyng!” tina bai hy. Ce myihna awi ak kqawn coeng kqoeng awh ai khawng poehoei hy.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Bawipa ing hawi nawh Piter ce toek hy. Bawipa ing awi ak kqawn peek ce Piter ing: “Tuhngawi awh ai ang khawng hlan awh, thum voei nik khawng kawp ti,” a tinaak awi ce poek hqoet hy.
The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
62 Cekcoengawh a leng benna cet nawh khawteh na kqang hy.
And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
63 Jesu ak sawikung qalkapkhqi ing the a kha na unawh vyk uhy.
The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
64 A mik ce zen pe khoep unawh doet uhy, U ing nu a ni vyk ce kqawn lah?” tina uhy.
They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
65 Thekhanaak awi khawzah ing tlai am tlek uhy.
They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
66 A khawngawi khaw a dai awh ce thlang kqeng a hqamcakhqi, khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ce kutoet na hu qu uhy, cawh Jesu ce sawi law pe uhy.
At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
67 Nang ve Khrih aw, kqawn lah? tina uhy. Jesu ing, “Kqawn law bai nyng seiawm, am nik cangna hly uhyk ti,
“If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
68 ni doet khqi nyng seiawm am nim hlat kawm uk ti.
If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
69 Cehlai tuh awhkawng, Thlanghqing Capa ing Khawsa thak awm tang benawh ngawi bit kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
70 Cawh cekkhqi boeih ing, Cawhtaw nang ve Khawsa capa aw?” tina uhy. Anih ing, “Namik kqawn a myihna kai zawk ni,” tinak khqi hy.
Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
71 Cawh cekkhqi ing, Ikaw ham simpyikung ni kyk qee hly bai? Amah am kha awhkawng ak awi ning za qi hawh saw kaw ve,” ti uhy.
Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
