Matthai 12
1 Cawh Jesu taw Sabath nyn awh lo awhkawng cet hy. A hubatkhqi ing amik phoen cawi nawh caangvui ce dy unawh ai uhy.
At that time Jesus walked through the wheatfields one Sabbath Day; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck some ears of wheat and to eat them.
2 Farasikhqi ing ami huh awh, a venawh “Toek lah, Sabath nyn awh sai aham amak ciim ce na hubatkhqi ing sai uhy,” tina uhy.
But the Pharisees, when they perceived it, said to him. "Look! Your disciples are doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"
3 Cehlai, a mingmih a venawh, “David ing a pyikhqi mi amik phoen a cawih awhkaw ik-oeih ami sai ce namik noet khawi nu?
"Have you not read," answered Jesus, "what David did when he was hungry, and his men, too?
4 Anih ing Khawsa ipkhui na lut nawh, khawsoeihkhqi doeng ing ami ai khawi phaihpi ce, amah ingkaw a pyikhqi ing a mami ai hly kawi phaihpi ami ai ce?
"How he went into the House of God, and there they ate the loaves of the Presence, which neither he nor his men were permitted to eat, but the priests only?
5 Sabath nyn awh tempul khuiawh khawsoeihkhqi ing Sabath am zeih hlai uhy, coet akap kaana ami awm ce, anaa cabu khuiawh am nami noet khawi nawh nu?
"Have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi bawkim anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
"But I tell you that One is here who is greater than the temple.
7 Bulnaak anglakawh qeennaak ni ka ngaih,' ti ak awi ve naming zaaksim mantaw, ak awm moel moel ak thlang ce am thawlh sak hlai voei uk ti.
"And if you knew what this means, "It is mercy I desire, not sacrifice,
8 Kawtih thlanghqing Capa taw Sabath Bawi na awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
"you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath."
9 Ce a hyn ce cehta nawh, a mingmih a Sinakawk khuina ce cet hy,
As he passed along he went into their synagogue, and there he saw a man with a withered hand.
10 cawh kut ak kheem thlang pynoet ce ana awm hy. Jesu ce thawlh amik puk thainaak aham, “Sabath nyn awh thlak tlo qoei sak ve ak caih nu?” tinawh doet uhy.
And in order to get a charge against him they asked him, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" (So that they might have something to accuse him.)
11 A mingmih venawh, “Nangmih ak khuiawh thlang pynoet ing tuu pynoet ta mai lah seh, cawhkaw a tuu ce Sabath nyn awh lawkkhqawng na ang tlaak mantaw am na mik dawk hly aw?
"Is there a man of you," he replied, "who has but a single sheep, who will not lay hold of it and lift it out, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath Day?
12 Cawhtaw thlanghqing ve tuu anglakawh izah nu a phu a awm khqoet! Cedawngawh Sabath nyn awh ik-oeih leek sai ve thym hy,” tina hy.
"And how much more is a man worth than a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
13 Cawhkaw thlang venawh, “Na baan ce zyng lah,” tina hy. Anih ing a baan ce a zyng awh a kut ce akut langben amyihna leek pahoei hy.
Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."
14 Cehlai Farasikhqi taw cawn unawh ikawmyihna nu amah ve ni him naak thai lah voei, tinawh doet qu uhy.
The man stretched it out, and it had become sound like the other. But when the Pharisees came out, they consulted together how they might destroy him.
15 Jesu ing ce ce a sim dym a dawngawh, ce a hyn ce cehta hy. Thlang kqeng khawzah ing ahu awh bat uhy, anih ing cekkhqi a tlawhnaakkhqi boeih ce qoei sak hy,
So when Jesus knew it, he withdrew from that place, and numbers of people followed him.
16 anih a u nu tice a mamik kqawnnaak aham yn khqi hy.
He cured them all; but he strictly forbade them to blaze abroad his doings,
17 Tawngha Isaiah ing anak kqawn awi ce a cupnaak thai aham vemyihna awm hy:
that the word spoken through Isaiah, the prophet, might be fulfilled.
18 Ve ve ka tyihzoeih thlak tyh, lungna nawh ka ym soeih ni; kang Myihla ce ak khan awh ta kawng nyngsaw, anih ing thymnaak ram tawm awh kqawn kaw.
Behold my servant whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom my soul delights; I will breathe my spirit upon him, and he shall announce justice to the Gentiles
19 Anih taw am tlaai kawmsaw khy awm am khy kaw; lam awh anih ak awi ce u ingawm am za kaw.
He will not strive nor cry aloud, Nor shall anyone hear is voice in the streets
20 Anih ing thymnaak ing a noeng hlandy, paipoeng akawng ak pleep ce ap kqai poet kawmsaw, thut awhkaw maikhu awm am thi zip kaw.
The bruised reed will not break; The dimly burning wick will not quench; Till he has led justice on to victory.
21 Ang ming awh qam tawm thlang ing ngaih-unaak ta kawm uh, a ti ceni.
And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
22 Cawh ak kawk khuiawh qaai be nawh mik ak hyp awi awm ak myh thlang pynoet ce, a venawh law pyi uhy, Jesu ing anih ce qoei sak nawh awi awm a pau thai pahoei coengawh amik awm dang pe pahoei hy.
Then they brought to him a blind and deaf demoniac; and he healed him, so that the dumb both spoke and saw.
23 Cawhkaw ak awm thlang kqeng ce a ming ngaih kyi nawh, “Ve ak thlang ve David a capa hy voei nu?” ti uhy.
And all the crowds were amazed, and he began to say, "Can this be the Son of David?"
24 Cehlai Farasikhqi ing ce ak awi a ming zaak awh, “Ve ak thlang ing ve qaai boei Belzabub ak caming ni qaaikhqi a hqek,” tina uhy.
When the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by the aid of Beelzebub, the Prince of the demons, that this fellow is driving out demons."
25 A mingmih ak kawpoek ce Jesu ing sim nawh a mingmih a venawh, “Kawmih a qam awm ak khuiawh a ming phekbo qu awhtaw am dyi thai hy.
Because Jesus knew what was in their minds, he said to them. "Any kingdom divided against itself will become desolate; and any city or household divided against himself will not stand.
26 Setan ing Setan ce a hqek mantaw, amah ingkaw amah qaal qu nawn kawm nih saw ikawpna a qam ang dyih thai kaw?
"So if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?
27 Kai ing Belzabub ak caming qaaikhqi ka hqek awhtaw, namik thlangkhqi ing u ak caming nu qaaikhqi ami hqek lawt?
"And if I am casting out demons in the power of Beelzebub, in whose power do your sons cast them out? So they themselves shall be your judges.
28 Kai ing Khawsa Myihla ing qaaikhqi ce ka hqek awhtaw Khawsa qam taw nangmih ak khan awh pha hawh hy.
"But if it is in the power of the Spirit of God is already upon you.
29 Ikawmyihna thlang ing ip takung thak awm soeih ce a pin hlan awh a im ce muk penawh a ik-oeihkhqi ce a lawh naak peek thai kaw? A pin coengawh man a im ce a muk peek thai kaw.
"Or how can any one enter the strong man’s house and carry off his goods without first binding the strong man? Then he can rob his house.
30 Kai ama nik bawng taw kai anik qaalnaak thlang na awm nawh, kai ama nik cawipyi taw ak thehkung na awm hy.
"He who is not with me is against me; and he who is not gathering with me, scatters.

"Therefore I tell you that every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.

"And if any man say a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
33 ”Thing ak leek awhkawng thaih leek qah nawh, thing ak che awhkawng thaih che qah lawt hy, ak thaih awhkawng thing ce sim uhy.
"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for by its fruit the tree is known.

"You generation of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. "When the time of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the vine-dressers seized to get his fruit.
35 Thlak leek ing a ik-oeih leek ak khui awhkawng a ik-oeih leek ce hawlaw nawh, thlak che ing a ik-oeih che ak khui awhkawng ik-oeih amak leek ce hawlaw lawt hy.
"A good man out of his good treasure brings forth good; and from his evil treasure a bad man brings out evil.

"I tell you that for every careless word that men speak they shall give account on the day of judgment.
37 Nak awi ak caming cang kawm tiksaw nak awi ak caming dawk kawp ti,” tinak khqi hy.
"For by your words you will each be justified, and by your words be condemned."
38 Cekcoengawh Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi ak qeekungkhqi ing a venawh, “Cawngpyikung, nang ak kawpoek kyi ik-oeih sai huh aham,” tina uhy.
Then some of the Scribes and Pharisees accosted him. "Teacher," they said, "we want to see some sign from you."
39 Cehlai a mingmih a venawh, “Thlak leek am ingkaw samphaih cadilkhqi ingtaw kawpoek kyi hatnaakkhqi ce thoeh uhy! Tawngha Jonah ak kawpoek kyi hatnaak am taw ak chang hatnaak peek na am awm kaw.
In reply Jesus told them. "An evil and faithless generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given them except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40 Kawtih Jonah taw ngak bau ak phoen khuiawh hyp thym ingkaw than thum awm hy, cemih lawtna thlanghqing Capa awm dek khuiawh awm lawt kaw.
"For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the sea- monster’s belly, so the Son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Nenivi khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi ce vawhkaw cadilkhqi mi awidengnaak khawnyn awh dyi haih kawm usaw cekkhqi ing dawk sak kawm uh; kawtih cekkhqi taw Jonah ak awih kqawnnaak awh zut uhy, ngai lah uh, Jonah anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
"The men of Nineveh will stand up in the Judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented under the preaching of Jonah, and lo! a greater than Jonah is here!
42 Khan ben nakaw Sangpahrang nu ce ve canukhqi mi awidengnaak nyn awh dyi haih kawm usaw anih ing vekkhqi ve dawk sak khqi kaw; kawtih anih taw Solomon a cyihnaak awi ak ngai na khawmdek a dytnaak nakawng law hy; ngai lah uh, Solomon anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
"The Queen of the South will rise in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! a greater than Solomon is here!
43 “Thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng qaih che ce ak cawn coengawh, tui ama awmnaak hunkhqi na cet nawh dymnaak ce sui hy, cehlai am hu hy.
"Whenever an unclean spirit leaves a man, it wanders through waterless places, seeking rest but finding none.
44 Cedawngawh vemyihna tihy, 'ka cehtaak im na hlat tlaih vang nyng,' ti hy. Ang hlat tlaih awh im ak caihping ak hoeng ce hu hy.
"Then it says, "‘I will go back to my house which I left’; and on arrival finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

"Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits worse than itself; and they enter in and dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be with this wicked generation."
46 Jesu ing thlang kqeng a venawh awi ak kqawn huiawh a nu ingkaw a koeinaakhqi ce a venawh awi kqawn aham a leng na dyi uhy.
While he was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers were standing outside, desiring to speak to him.
47 Thlang pynoet ing a venawh, “Na nu ingkaw na koeinaakhqi ing na venawh awi kqawn aham a leng na dyi uhy,” tina hy.
So some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, and wanting to speak to you."
48 Cehlai awi ak kqawn peekkung a venawh, “Ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi ce ukhqi nu? tina hy.
But he answered the man who told him, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?"
49 A hubatkhqi ce a kut ing khi nawh, “Vekkhqi ve ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi hawh ni!
And stretching his hand toward his disciples, he said,
50 U awm khawk khan awhkaw ka Pa ak kawngaih ak sai boeih taw ka koeinaakhqi ingkaw ka nu na awm hy,” tina hy.
"Behold my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven, is my brother and sister and mother."
