< Luke 19 >
1 Jesus Jericho khua sung ah tum in kantan hi.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Taciang en vun, siadong te lampui Zacchaeus a kici khat om a, ama sia hau mama hi.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Jesus sia a kua ziam, ci mu nuam in zong napi; mihing tamlei bek dom ngawl ama sia a tuntom ahikom mu thei ngawl hi.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Taciang mipi te mai ah tai a, Jesus mu thei tu in theikung tung ah ka to hi: banghangziam cile tua lampi ah Jesus hongpai hi.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 Tua mun ah Jesus a thet ciang in, a tung ento a, Zacchaeus mu hi, taciang ama tung ah, Zacchaeus, manlang tak in tuaksuk in; banghangziam cile tuni na inn ah hong tam tu khi hi, ci hi.
And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 Zacchaeus manlangtak in hong tuaksuk a, lungdamtak in Jesus a sang hi.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Tua thu amate in a heak uh ciang in, a vekpi in phun uh a, hisia pa sia mawnei pa inn ah leangna hi tu in pai hi, ci tek uh hi.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Tasiaciang Zacchaeus ding a, Topa kung ah, en in, Topa awng, ka neisa a lang sia mizawng te pia khi hi; taciang khatpo tung pan in na khatpo a man ngawl in mawsiatna taw ka laksak a hile, a se li in lokik khi hi, ci hi.
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
9 Jesus in ama tung ah, Tuni hi inn sung ah ngupna theng hi, banghangziam cile ama zong Abraham tapa a hihi.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia a bo te zong tu le ngum tu in hongpai hi, ci hi.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Amate in hi thu te a zak ciang in, sontena khat son thua hi, banghangziam cile ama sia Jerusalem nai zo a, mite in Pathian kumpingam sia thakhatthu in hong ki lang tu hi zo hi, ci ngaisun uh hi.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
12 Tua ahikom hibang in ci hi, Ulian khat sia kumpipa ukna ngam a san zawkciang in hong ciakik tu in, ngam khuala mama ah khualhaw hi.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 A vai din ma in a naseam te sawm sam a, dangka mina khattek ap hi, taciang, hisia taw kong thetkik mateng summet vawt tavun, ci hi.
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Ahihang a ngamsung mihing tein tua ulian pa ensan uh ahikom, hisia pa sia kote hong uk tu in dei ngawl khu hi, ci in a nung pan thu vaitha uh hi.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 Tuapa in kumpi ukna za a nga zawkciang hong ciakik a, sum a piak a naseam te khatsim in a summet vawt na uh pan a met bangza nga, ci he nuam in a kung ah sam tu in thupia hi.
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 A masabel in khat hongpai a, Topa awng, dangka mina khat pan in sawm a met nga khi hi, ci hi.
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 Topa in ama tung ah, pha hi, nang, naseam pha: a no mama na tung ah muantak nahikom in khuapi sawm tung ah thuneina nei tan, ci hi.
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 A nina pa hongpai a, Topa, dangka mina khat pan in nga a met nga khi hi, ci hi.
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Taciang Topa in ama tung ah, nang zong khuapi nga tung ah thuneina nei tan, ci hi.
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 A dang khat hongpai a, en in, ziaksung ah na dangka mina, dial no taw tun in koi khi hi:
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Banghangziam cile nangma sia a sonhak mama mihing na hi man in hong lau khi hi: na koi ngawl pi na la a, na poai ngawl pi zong na at hi, ci hi.
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
22 Taciang in a Topa in, nang naseam pha ngawl, nangma kampau pan in thu hong khen tu khi hi. Mihing sonhak ka hi na he a, ka koi ngawl na pan la in, ka poai ngawlpi zong at, ci nong he le:
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 Banghang in ka sum dangka inn ah koi ngawl ni ziam, koi a hile te kong thet ciang a sum teng a met taw nga tu hi ngawl khi ziam? ci hi.
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 Taciang a hui ah a ding te kung ah, a tung pan in dangka mina sia la vun a, dangka mina sawm a neipa pia vun, ci hi.
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 Ahihang amate in Topa awng, ama in dangka mina sawm nei zo hi, ci uh hi.
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Note tung ah kong ci hi, a neite ki pia thua tu a, a nei ngawl te a neisun po zong ki laksak belap lai tu hi.
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 Ahihang ka ukna a dei ngawl hibang ka ngalte ka kung ah hong paipui tavun a, ka mai ah that vun, ci in Topa in ci hi.
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Hi thu te a son zawkciang in, Jesus sia a nungzui te mai pan in Jerusalem ah pai hi.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Olive mual ah a om Bethphage le Bethany khua nai a thet ciang in, a nungzui ni sawl a,
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 Na mai ah a om khua ah pai tavun a; kuama to ngei ngawl lai laa no khat a ki khit mu tu nu hi: sut vun a, hi mun ah hong paipui tavun.
saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 Khat po in, banghang sut nu ziam? ci hong dong le, Topa in tulmaw hi, ci vun, ci hi.
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 A sawl te pai uh a, Jesus in amate tung ah a sonkhol bang in mu uh hi.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Laano a sut uh laitak in, a neite in amate tung ah, banghang laano sut nu ziam? ci hi.
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Amate in, Topa in tulmaw hi, ci uh hi.
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 Taciang Jesus kung ah hong paipui uh a: laano tung ah puan pha in, Jesus suanto uh hi.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 Jesus a pai kawm in, lampi ah puan te pha uh hi.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
37 Olive mualtung pan tuaksuk natu a nai ciang in, nungzui mihonpi theampo in a vanglian nasep te mu uh ahikom, aw ngingtak taw lungdamtak in Pathian pok uh a;
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
38 Topa min taw hongpai Kumpipa thuphatoai tahen: vantung ah nopna om tahen a, a sangbel na mun ah vangletna om tahen, ci in au tek uh hi.
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 Mihonpi sung a om Pharisee te in Jesus kung ah, Syapa awng, na nungzui te tei in, ci uh hi.
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Jesus in, Keima in kong ci hi, hi te om khipkhep a hile suangtum te thakhatthu in au tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Jerusalem nai na hong thet ciang in, tua khuapi en in, kap a,
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 Thinnuam inna om thei natu, tuni in bang kisam ziam ci in he thei thong le te maw! Ahizong tua thu mu thei ngawl ni hi!
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Banghangziam cile na ngal te in na kimkot pan in phunglecian bang in hong kimum uh a, kingli pan in hong pang uh hi,
For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
44 Taciang nangma le na tate sia leizul in hong mon siat tu hi; taciang suangtum khat le khat a ki thuap in khe ngawl tu hi; banghangziam cile nangma hong ve tu hun na heak ngawl hang a hihi, ci hi.
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45 Jesus biakinn sung ah tum a, vanzuak te le van lei te nawtkeak siat hi;
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 Amate tung ah, Ka inn sia thungetna mun kici tu hi: ci ki at hi, ahihang note in nguta phalak te kua na suaksak uh hi, ci hi.
saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
47 Taciang Jesus in biakinn sung ah nisim in thuhil hi. Ahihang thiampi lian te, thukhamhil te le upa te in Jesus that tu in zong uh hi,
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Ahihang thalup thei natu lampi a mu bua uh hi: banghangziam cile mi theampo in a thuhil na phatak in ngai tek uh hi.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
