Luke 12
1 Tua laitak in simzawk ngawl za dong in mihonpi hong ki kaikhawm kheukho uh a, khat le khat a ki phul ngawp liang uh laitak in, Jesus in a nungzui te kung ah amasabel in, Pharisee te tol a kici ki hitheamsak nate kidawm vun.
In the meantime, myriads of the multitude having gathered together, So that they trode on one another, He began to speak to His disciples first; Take heed unto yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Banghangziam cile a kilang ngawl tu in a ki sincip thei a om ngawl bangma in; heak ngawl tu in a ki phualcip thei zong om ngawl hi.
But there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed: and concealed, that shall not be made known.
3 Tua ahikom khuazing sung ah na son theampo uh sia khuavak sung ah ki za tu hi; inndoi sung bil kung vacin pan na son uh te innkhum tung pan ki tangko tu hi.
Therefore so many things as you spoke in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and whatsoever you spoke in the ear in the secret chambers shall be proclaimed upon the houses.
4 Ka lawmte awng hong son khi hi, pumpi that in, tua zawkciang bangma a law thei nawn ngawl te lau heak vun.
And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things, having nothing more to do.
5 Ahihang na lau tu uh te kidop na kong pia khol tu hi: a thalup zawkciang hell sung ah a khia thei sia na lau vun; hi hi, keima in kong son hi, lau vun. (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you must fear: Fear him, who after he kills has power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Tonbawm nga ciang dangka san pia ni taw ki zuak hi, tua te khat zong Pathian in mangil ngawl hi ngawl ziam?
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
7 Ahihang na lu tung uh a samzam te nangawn simsiat sa hi. Tua ahikom lau heak vun: note sia tonbawm tam mama sang in manphazaw nu hi.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are more important than many sparrows.
8 Keima in kong ci hi, a kuamapo mipi mai ah hong pualak sia, mihing Tapa in Pathian i vantungmi te mai ah ama zong pualak tu khi hi:
But I say unto you, that every one who may confess me before the people, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 Ahihang mipi mai ah kei hong nial te Pathian i vantungmi te mai ah ka nial tu hi.
But the one denying me before the people will be denied before the angels of God.
10 A kuamapo in mihing Tapa langpan in a pau sia, ki maisak tu hi: ahihang a kuamapo Tha Thiangtho a sonsia peuma, ki maisak ngawl tu hi.
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him having blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11 Synagogue sung ah ahizong, ngam uk te le thunei te mai ah hong ki paipui ciang in, bangbang in, a hibale, bangbang zo kik tu, a hibale bang pau tu, ci in ngaisun heak vun:
But when they may carry you into the synagogues, and tribunals, and authorities; do not be solicitous as to what you may apologize, or what you may say:
12 Banghangziam cile Tha Thiangtho in hong hil tu hi, ci hi.
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour the things which it behooveth you to speak.
13 Mipi sung pan khat in, Syapa awng, ka suapuipa in ngamh hong khen natu in hong sonsak tan, ci hi.
And a certain one from the multitude said to Him, Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Taciang Jesus in, Pasal pa awng, note tung ah a kua in thukhen tu le ngamh khensak tu in hong vawt ziam? ci hi.
And He said to him; Man, who established me judge or a divider over you?
15 Tasiaciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, Duhopna kidawm vum: banghangziam cile mihing khat i nuntakna sia a dimlet liang a nei le a lam sung ah ki hel ngawl hi, ci hi.
And He said to them, See, and beware of all covetousness: because his life is not in that which aboundeth to any one, from those things belonging to him.
16 Jesus in amate tung ah sontena khat son a, Mihau pa khat om a, a lo sung pan in an tam mama piang hi.
He spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man was very productive:
17 Tasiaciang a thinsung pan in, an khol natu inndoi nei ngawl ka hikom, bangbang hi tu khi ziam? ci in ngaisun hi.
and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where I shall store my fruits?
18 Tua ahikom, hibangin ka vawt tu hi: ka ansal ka phel siat tu a, a lianzaw in ka sa tu hi; tua mun ah ka an le van te theampo khol tu khi hi.
And he said, I will do this: I will take down my barns, and build greater, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.
19 Taciang ka thaa tung ah, Maw ka thaa awng, kum tampi atu kholsa van le na tam mama nei ni hi; suaktatak in, ne in a, dawn in, a nuam mama in om in, ka ci tu hi, ci hi.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Ahihang Pathian in ama tung ah, nang a mawmaw pa, tuzan mama in na thaa la tu khi hi: taciang na khol sa van theampo sia akua in lua tu ziam? ci hi.
But God said to him, Thou fool, this night they are demanding thy soul from thee; and to whom shall those things which thou hast prepared, belong?
21 Tasia bangma in ama atu neisa khol a, Pathian sung ah a hau ngawl peuma, hi mihau pa taw kibang hi, ci hi.
So is every one laying up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God.
22 Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Tua ahikom kong ci hi, na nuntakna atu in na kisap uh an le tui; na pumpi atu sil le ten atu in thintoi heak vun.
And He spoke to His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul, what you may eat; nor for your body, what you may put on.
23 An sang in nuntakna, puansil sang in pumpi thupi zaw hi.
The soul is more than food, and the body more than raiment.
24 Va-ak te nuntak na en vun: banghangziam cile amate thaici ciing ngawl a, tang zong at ngawl hi; ansal zong nei ngawl hi; ahihang Pathian in vak hi: note sia vacimno te sang in bangza in thupi zaw nu ziam?
Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?
25 Note sung ah a kua in thintoi na taw a khan tongkhat belap thei tu ziam?
And which one of you being solicitous is able to add one moment to his existence?
26 Hi a nobel nangawn vawt thei ngawl na hi uh le, banghang a dang te thintoi nu ziam?
If then you are powerless in the smallest matter, why are you solicitous about other things?
27 Duisung ah unok pak te bangbang in khang, ci ngaisun pak vun, naseam ngawl hi, khauzong hual ngawl hi; Keima in kong ci hi, Solomon in a minthanna theampo taw a kipua ciang in, hi pak khat zong ban zo ngawl lai hi.
Observe the lilies, how they toil not, neither do they spin: and I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.
28 Tuni po a, zingciang vawk in a ki hal tu lolai ah lopa te nangawn Pathian in zeam a hile, tuate sang in note hong zeam zaw mama tu hi ngawl ziam, no upna no te?
And if God so clothes the verdure flourishing in the fields to-day, and to-morrow cast into the oven; how much more are you, O ye of little faith?
29 Na neak tu uh le na dawn tu uh te zong heak vun, uplakna thinsung zong nei heak vun.
And do not seek what you may eat, and what you may drink, and with what you are clothed;
30 Banghangziam cile hibang te sia leitung minam theampo te in zong peu uh hi; hibang nate kisam nu hi, ci na Pa uh in hong he hi.
for the heathens of the world are seeking after all these things: but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Ahihang note sia Pathian kumpingam zong zaw vun; tua hile hibang na theampo hong pia thua tu hi.
Moreover seek His kingdom and these things shall be added unto you.
32 Lau heak vun, tuuhon tawm no te awng; banghangziam cile note kumpingam piak tu sia na Pa uh i deina a hihi.
Fear not, little flock; because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Na neisa uh te zuak vun a, mizawng te hu na pia vun; a nget le a lui thei ngawl te note atu in khol vun, na neisa te uh a bo thei ngawl na mun, nguta te a thet thei ngawl na mun le nget i neak thei ngawl na mun vantung ah khol vun.
Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses that will not get old, and treasure in the heavens which can not be stolen, where the thief does not draw nigh, nor the moth corrupt.
34 Banghangziam cile na neisa uh om na mun ah na thinsung uh zong om tu hi.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
35 Na kawng uh kawngkhau thua vun, na meivak uh tangsak vun;
Let your loins be girted, and your lamps burning;
36 Note mopoai pan in a topa hong theng a; kongkha hong kik pociang, hon pai tu in a ngak nginge te bang hi tavun.
and be you like unto men waiting for their lord, when he may rise up from the marriage feast; in order that, coming and knocking, they may open unto him immediately.
37 A topa a thet ciang in ama ngak nginge in a mu naseam te thuphatoai a hihi: a tatak kong ci ciang, a topa ama vateak in a kawngkhau kil in, a naseam te sia an ne tu in tosak tu a, amate an lui tu hi.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord having come will find watching: truly I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and have them sit down, and having come will serve them.
38 Nai ni ciang ziam, nai thum ciang ziam, a topa hongpai a hile, ama ngak nginge in a mu, a naseam te thuphatoai a hihi.
If at the second, and third, watch he may come, happy are ye.
39 Nguta hongpai tu hun sia, innteakpa in he hile, a inn cing nginge tu a, nguta i inn phulsak thuak ngawl tu hi.
Know this, that if the landlord knew at what hour the thief cometh, he would not have permitted his house to be broken into.
40 Tua ahikom ki ngingsa in om vun: banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia na ki ngin ngawl uh laitak in hongpai tu hi, ci hi.
Be ye also ready: because at an hour you do not think the Son of man cometh.
41 Peter in, Topa awng, hi thu sontena sia koma atu nong son ziam maw, a hibale mi theampo atu ziam? ci hi.
And Peter said to Him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or to all?
42 Topa in, A topa in ama innkuanpui te a hun a cin ciang in amate i tel tek neak tu a pia thei lampui koi tu a, a muantak le a ciim neisa keampa sia a kua ziam?
The Lord said, Who then is the faithful, wise steward, whom the lord will establish over his house-hold, to give them their food in season?
43 A topa hongpai ciang in, na a sep laitak a mu, naseam pa thuphatoai a hihi.
Happy is that servant, whom his lord having come shall thus find watching.
44 A tatak ka ciciang, tua naseam pa sia a topa in a nei theampo keam in koi tu hi.
Truly I say unto you, that he will establish him over all his possessions.
45 Ahizong naseam khat in a thinsung pan in, ka topa hongpai pai ngawllai tu hi, ci ngai sun a; naseam dang numei le pasal ci ngawl in vel tu hi, taciang ne le dawn tu a, zukham in om tu hi;
But if that servant may say in his heart, my lord delayeth his coming, and may begin to smite the servants and handmaidens, and to eat and drink, and be drunken;
46 Tua naseam pa in a upmawk ngawl ni le a ki ngin ngawl hun laitak in a topa hongpai tu a, tua naseam pa sia a topa in nasiatak in velcip tu hi, taciang thu um ngawl te taw ama ngatu a tel teng koisak tu hi.
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not expect, and in an hour in which he does not know, and will cut him off, and will appoint his part with the unbelievers.
47 Tua naseam in a topa dei na he nginge napi, vawtkhol ngawl in a topa deina bang in seam ngawl hi, tua naseam pa sia nasia mama in a liam dong vatcip tu hi.
But that servant knowing the will of his lord, and not preparing or doing according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 Ahihang topa deina a heak ngawl hu in, a vawt te sia nasiatak liamna thuak tak napi, tawmbek liam in vat tu hi. Banghangziam cile khatpo tung ah tam mama a pia a hile, ama tung ah tam mama ki ngen kik tu hi: taciang mitampi a ap le, tampi ma ki ngen kik tu hi.
But the one not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. But to every one to whom much is given, much will be required of him: and to whom they commit much, of him they will ask the more.
49 Leitung ah mei kuangsak tu in kongpai hi; taciang a kuang zo bang hi zen thong le, bangza in uk khi ziam?
I have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled?
50 Ahihang thuak tu baptisma khat nei khi hi; tasia ka vawt ma teng ka thin nuam thei ngawl tu hi.
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected!
51 Leitung ah kilemna pia tu in hongpai hi, ci hong ngaisun nu ziam? hong ci khi hi, tabang hi ngawl hi; kikhenna tu in hongpai zaw khi hi:
Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division.
52 Banghangziam cile tu pan kipan in inn khat sung ah mihing nga a om te ki khen tu a, thum te a dang ni te in langpan tu hi, taciang ni te a dang thum te in langpan tu hi.
For from now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
53 A pa in a tapa taw ki khen in ki langpan tu a, a tapa in zong a pa langpan kik tu hi; a nu in a tanu langpan tu a, a tanu in zong a nu langpan tu hi; a nu in a mo langpan tu a, a mo in zong a tonupi langpan tu hi, ci hi.
the father against the son, and the son against the father; and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
54 Jesus in mipi te tung ah, Nitum na sang pan mei hong kai ciang in, ngua zu tu hi, na ci thei pai uh a; zu takpi hi.
And he also spoke to the multitudes, When you may see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, that the rain cometh; and it is so:
55 Thangsang pan in hui hong va le, khualum tu hi, na ci uh a; lum takpi hi.
and when the south wind is blowing, you say, that it will be hot; and it is so.
56 No a ki hitheamsak te, van le lei pan in khuahun he thei nu hi; ahihang banghang in, tu hun paizia tel thei ngawl nu ziam?
You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the earth and the firmament; and how do you not discern this time?
57 Hi hi, banghang in thu man khat sia thukhen ngawl nu ziam?
Why do you not judge righteous judgment, even with reference to yourselves?
58 Mihing khat in zum hong then le, zum na thet uh ma lamkal ah, a kung pan na suatak thei natu hanciam in; tabang na hi bale, thukhen pa kung ah hong ap tu a, thukhen pa in palik te kung ah hong ap in, palik te in thong hong taksak tu hi.
For as you go with your adversary to the ruler, give attention on the way that you be reconciled with him; lest he may deliver you to the judge, and the judge shall turn you over to the officer, and the officer will cast you into prison.
59 Na liausum na piaksiat mateng, thonginn sung pan in suakta ngawl tu ni hi, ci in kong son hi, ci hi.
I say unto you, You can by no means come out thence, till you have even paid the last mite.
