Mark 10
1 Jesus tua mun pan ding in, Jordan ngun ngal khat Judah ngam kimkot teng ah pai hi: mipi te a kung ah hong ki kaikhawm kik leleau a; a hil ngei bang in thuhil kik hi.
Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
2 Pharisee te a kung ah hongpai a, pasal khat in a zi khul tu ngeina a om ziam? ci ze-et in dong uh hi.
[While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
3 Jesus in amate tung ah, Moses in note bang thu hong pia ziam? ci in zo hi.
He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
4 Taciang amate in, Moses in khul na lai at in, zi khul tu oai hi, ci uh hi.
[One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
5 Jesus in amate tung ah, Moses in na thinpui lei uh hang in hi ngeina a at a hihi.
Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
6 Ahihang Pathian in a kipatcil bitphuana hun lai in pa le numei vawt hi.
[Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
7 Tua ahikom pasal in a pa le a nu nusia tu a, a zi beal tu hi;
That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
8 Taciang amate ni sia taksa pumkhat hi tu hi: tua ahikom amate sia ni hi nawn ngawl tu a taksa pumkhat a hi uh hi.
Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
9 Tua ahikom Pathian in a ngawm sa te mihing in khen heak tahen, ci in zo hi.
Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
10 Innsung ah a nungzui te in tua thu ma dong kik uh hi.
When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
11 Jesus in amate tung ah, A kuamapo in a zi khul in, ngualdang a tenpui le palngul mawna vawt a hihi.
He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
12 Zi in a pasal nusia in, pasal dang a nei kik le, palngul mawna vawt a hihi, ci hi.
[God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
13 Amate in a tate uh a thamsak tu dei in Jesus kung ah paipui uh a: a nungzui te in amate tei hi.
[One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
14 Ahihang Jesus in a mu ciang in, a thin-uk a, amate tung ah, Patangno te ka kung hong paisak tavun, khak heak vun: banghangziam cile Pathian kumpingam sia hibang patang te atu a hihi.
When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
15 A tatak in kong ci ciang, a kuamapo hibang patangno bang in Pathian kumpingam a sang ngawl peuma, Pathian kumpingam sung ah tum ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
16 Taciang Jesus in patang te toai a, amate tung ah a khut nga in, thupha pia hi.
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
17 Jesus sia lamkal ah a pai laitak in, mi khat hong tai a, khupdin in, Sya pha awng, tawntung nuntakna ka nga thei natu in bang vawt tu khi ziam? ci in dong hi. (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Taciang Jesus in ama kung ah, Banghang in, pha, hong ci ni ziam? Pathian khatbek simngawl kuama a pha om ngawl hi.
Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
19 Thupiak te he ni hi, palngul mawna vawt heak in, tual that heak in, nguta heak in, a man ngawl tettipang heak in, ngual neisa sut heak in, na nu le na pa zakta in, ci hi.
[But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
20 Taciang tua pa in Jesus kung ah, Syapa awng, hite theampo ka no lai pan in zuisiat zo khi hi, ci in zo hi.
The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
21 Tasiaciang Jesus in ama itna taw en a, Khat bek kisam lai ni hi: pai tan a, na nei theampo zuak siat in, taciang mizawng te pia in, tua hile vantung ah neisa na nei tu hi: taciang hongpai tan a, thinglamte pua in hong zui tan, ci hi.
Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
22 Tua thu hang in ama khuangai mama a, thinna in paisan hi: banghangziam cile a neisa tam mama hi.
The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
23 Jesus in a kimkot teng en a, a nungzui te kung ah, Mihau te Pathian kumpingam sung a tum tu uh bangza in haksa ziam! ci hi.
Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
24 Taciang a nungzui te in Jesus i son thu hang in lungmang mamatek uh hi. Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Ka tate awng, hauna a muang te atu in Pathian kumpingam sung ah tum tu sia bangza in haksa ziam!
The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
25 Mihau pa sia Pathian kumpingam sung ah a tum tu sang in, phin bilvang sung ah kala-uk tum tu ol zaw hi, ci in zo kik hi.
It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Amate in lamdangsa mamatek uh a, tabang hithong le, a kua peuma ngupna nga thei tu ziam? ci in amate kikum uh hi.
The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
27 Taciang Jesus in amate en a, Hi thu sia mihing te atu in suak thei ngawl hi, ahihang Pathian atu in hi ngawl hi: banghangziam cile Pathian atu in na theampo suak thei hi, ci hi.
Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
28 Tua zawkciang in Peter in, Jesus kung ah, en in, kote ka hi uh le na theampo nusia in kong zui uh hi, ci hi.
Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
29 Jesus in, A tatak in kong son hi, a kuamapo keima le lungdamna thu hang in a inn le lo a hi zong, a u le a nau a hi zong, a nu le a pa a hi zong, a zi le a ta te a hi zong, a nusia a hile,
Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
30 Tu hun in inn le lo hi kale, nu te hi kale, u le nau hi kale, tate hi kale, vawtsiatna tatuam taw a se za in sang tu a; hongpai lai tu hun ah tawntung nuntakna sang tu hi. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Ahihang a masabel te nungkhakbel tu a; a nungkhakbel te masabel hi tu hi, ci hi.
But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
32 Amate Jerusalem pai na lamkal ah hi uh a; Jesus sia amate mai ah pai hi: taciang amate in lamdangsa in, a nung pan zui kawm in lau tek mama uh hi. A nungzui sawmleni te sam a, a tung ah thupiang tu te son kipan hi,
[Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
33 En vun, Jerusalem sang ah i pai hi; mihing Tapa sia thiampi lian te le thukhamhil te kung ah ap tu hi; amate in thi tu in thukhen tu uh a, Gentile te kung ah ap tu uh hi:
“Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
34 Amate in selno tu a, vel in cilphi tu uh hi, taciang that tu uh a: nithum ni ciang in thokik tu hi, ci hi.
Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
35 Zebedee tapa James le John te Jesus kung ah hongpai uh a, Syapa awng, kong nget tu uh sia nong vawtsak tu ka uk uh hi, ci uh hi.
[Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
36 Jesus in amate tung ah, No atu in bang hong vawatsak tu khi ziam? ci hi.
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Amate in, na minthanna sung ah khat na ziatsang ah, a dang khat sia na veisang ah hong tosak tan, ci uh hi.
They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
38 Hi kamale, Jesus in, Bang ngen nu ziam ci zong he ngawl nu hi: ka dawn tu hai dawn zo tu nu ziam, ka san tu baptisma sang zo tu nu ziam? ci hi.
But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
39 Amate in, zo tu khu hi, ci uh hi. Jesus in, Ka dawn tu hai dawn takpi tu nu hi, ka san tu baptisma zong sang takpi tu nu hi:
They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
40 Ahihang ka ziatsang le ka veisang a to tute sia kei i piak tu hi ngawl a; ka Pa in a ngealkholsa te pia tu hi, ci hi.
But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
41 Tua thu a dang sawm te in a zak uh ciang in, James le John tung ah a lung uh kim ngawl hi.
The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
42 Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Na heak uh bang ma in Gentile kumpi te in a mihing te sia zawthawk thu taw uk uh a, ulian te in mipi te tung ah thuneina zang tawntung uh hi.
Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
43 Ahihang no sung ah hibang hi ngawl tu hi: note sung ah khatpo a lian nuam le, note i naseam hi tahen:
But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
44 Note sung pan khatpo in a lu bel a hi nuam le, note in sila hi tahen.
Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
45 Mihing Tapa sia ngual a sawl tu in hongpai ngawl hi, ngual atu seam tu in le mi tampi tatkhiat natu a nuntakna pia tu in hongpai hi, ci hi.
[You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
46 Jesus le a nungzui te Jericho ah hongpai uh a: amate mihon tampi taw Jericho pan a pusua uh ciang in, Timaeus i tapa, Bartimaeus a kici mittaw pa sia lamhui ah to in khutdaw ngen hi.
[On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
47 Ama in Nazareth khua mi Jesus hi, ci a zak ciang in, David Tapa Jesus awng, hong hesuak kapo in, ci in au hi.
When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
48 Mi tampi te in ama a om khikhep natu in tei uh hi kale: Nang David Tapa awng, hong hesuak kapo in, ci in au seseam hi.
Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
49 Jesus ding a, ama sam tu in thupia hi. Amate in mittaw pa kung ah, thinnuam in a, ding in; Ama in hong sam hi, ci uh hi.
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
50 A puantual sil sia khia in, ding a, Jesus kung ah pai hi.
He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
51 Jesus in ama zo a, Nang tung ah bang ka vawt tu uk ni ziam? ci hi. Mittaw pa in, Topa awng, ka mit khua mu tu uk khi hi, ci hi.
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
52 Jesus in ama kung ah, pai in; na upna in hong damsak zo hi, ci hi. Tasia pociang in khuamu a, lampi ah Jesus nungzui hi.
Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
