Matthew 12
1 Tua hun laitak, Jesus sia sabbath ni khat losung kantan in pai a; a nungzui te a ngilkial ahikom, zungtang hui te hiat in ne uh hi.
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 Ahihang Pharisee te in a mu uh ciang, Jesus kung ah, en in, na nungzui te in sabbath ni sep tu a kilawm ngawl te seam hi, ci uh hi.
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 Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, David le a lawm te a ngilkial uh ciang in, bang vawt ci sim ngei ngawl nu ziam?
"Have you not read," answered Jesus, "what David did when he was hungry, and his men, too?
4 David sia Pathian innsung ah tum in, amate neak tu a kilawm ngawl, thiampi te bek i a neak thei tu in Pathian mai ah a ki lui anluum te ne uh hi.
"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 Biakinn sung ah thiampi te zong sabbath ni sim in, sabbath thukham paltan napi, mawsiatna thuak ngawl hi, ci in thukhambu sung ah sim ngei ngawl nu ziam?
"Have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6 A tatak in kong ci ciang, biakinn sang in a lianzaw khat om hi.
"But I tell you that One is here who is greater than the temple.
7 Biakpiakna sang in hesuakna ka dei zaw hi, a ci sia i a khiakna he le uh te, maw nei ngawl khat mawsiat ngawl tu nu hi.
"And if you knew what this means, "It is mercy I desire, not sacrifice,
8 Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia sabbath i Topa a hihi, ci hi.
"you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath."
9 Tua mun pan Jesus a pai zawkciang, amate synagogue sung ah tum uh hi.
As he passed along he went into their synagogue, and there he saw a man with a withered hand.
10 En vun, a khut zaw khat om hi. Amate in, sabbath ni in cina damsak sia ngeina om ziam? ci a mawna tu zong nuam in dong uh hi.
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 Jesus in, Note sung ah mi khat in tuu khat nei hi, tua tuu sia sabbath ni in dumsung ah tak bang hile, pusua ngawl in om tu ziam?
"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 Mihing sia tuu sang in bangza phazaw ziam? Tua ahikom sabbath ni ah na pha sep tu kilawm hi, ci hi.
"And how much more is a man worth than a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
13 Tuapa kung ah, Na khut zan in, ci hi. A khut a zan ciang in, a khut langkhat bangma in dam hi.
Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."
14 Tua zawkciang Pharisee te pusuak uh a, ama sia bangbang in susia thei tu, ci thu vaihawm uh hi.
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 Jesus in tua thu a heak ciang mundang ah pai a: mihon tampi in zui uh hi, amate natna theampo damsak hi;
So when Jesus knew it, he withdrew from that place, and numbers of people followed him.
16 Ama thu ngualdang tung a son ngawl natu in vaitha hi.
He cured them all; but he strictly forbade them to blaze abroad his doings,
17 Tua thu in kamsang Isaiah sonkholna,
that the word spoken through Isaiah, the prophet, might be fulfilled.
18 En vun, ka tealsa ka naseampa; keima i ka it pa, ama sung ah ka thaa a lungkim mama hi: ama tung ah ka thaa ka koi tu a, ama in Gentile te tung ah thukhenna lak tu hi.
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 Ama sia kuama nial ngawl tu a, au zong au ngawl tu hi; lampi ah kuama in a aw za ngawl tu hi.
He will not strive nor cry aloud, Nor shall anyone hear is voice in the streets
20 Ama in zawna nga a, a ki kuaikhumsa pumpa a thiaktan batu hi, a khu va buai mei-inn zong mit ngawl tu hi.
The bruised reed will not break; The dimly burning wick will not quench; Till he has led justice on to victory.
21 Gentile te in ama min um in muang tu uh hi.
And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
22 Tua zawkciang doai vei hu in a thin-am khat, a mittaw in, a pau thei ngawl khat Jesus kung ah hong paipui uh hi: Ama in tua mittaw le a pau thei ngawl pa sia, a damsakkik man in pau thei in khuamu kik hi.
Then they brought to him a blind and deaf demoniac; and he healed him, so that the dumb both spoke and saw.
23 Mi theampo in lamdangsa mama uh a, Ama sia David i tapa hi ngawl ziam, ci tek uh hi.
And all the crowds were amazed, and he began to say, "Can this be the Son of David?"
24 Ahihang Pharisee te in hi thu a zak uh ciang, hi sia pa in doai te hawlkhia hi ngawl in, doai te i topa Beelzebub vang taw in hawlkhia hi, ci uh hi.
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 Jesus in amate ngaisutna he a, Ngam khat sia ki khen in a ki do le, siatna sung theng tu hi; khuapi le inn te zong ki khen in a ki do uh le, kip ngawl tu hi:
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 Satan in satan hawlkhia in, ama le ama ki khen in a ki do le; bangbang in a ngam kip thei tu ziam?
"So if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?
27 Keima in Beelzebub vang taw doai te ka hawlkhia a hile, na tate uh in a kua vang taw hawlkhia ziam? Tua ahikom amate sia note i thukhen te ahi uh hi.
"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 Keima in Pathian Thaa vangletna taw in doai te ka hawlkhia a hile, Pathian kumpingam sia no kung ah hong theng si.
"But if it is in the power of the Spirit of God is already upon you.
29 Kua in mihing thahatpa hencip masa ngawl in a inn sung ah tum in a van sut thei tu ziam? Mi thahat pa a hen zawkciang bek in a innsung om van te sut thei tu hi.
"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 Keima taw hong om ngawl peuma ka ngal hi a; keima taw a kaikhawm ngawl peuma a thezau a hihi.
"He who is not with me is against me; and he who is not gathering with me, scatters.
31 Tua ahikom mihing te mawna tatuam le sonsiatna tatuam te ki maisak tu hi: ahihang Tha Thiangtho a sonsia peuma ki maisak ngawl tu hi.
"Therefore I tell you that every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 Akua mapo in mihing Tapa sia kammal taw a do peuma, ki maisak tu hi: ahihang khatpo in Tha Thiangtho sia kammal taw a do peuma sia, tu hun le hongpai pheang tu hun sung ah zong ki maisak ngawl tu hi. (aiōn g165)
"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 Thingkung pha in a pha nga a; thingkung pha ngawl in nga pha ngawl nga hi: banghangziam cile, thingkung sia a nga pan in ki he thei hi.
"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.
34 Maw, no ngul ngilo suan te, note sia mihing ngilo te hi napi, bangbang in kampha pau thei tu nu ziam? banghangziam cile na thinsung uh pan a let sia na muk uh pan pau nu hi.
"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 Mipha te thinsung na manpha te pan in napha te ma pusuak hi: taciang mipha ngawl te i na manpha ngawl pan in napha ngawl ma pusuak hi.
"A good man out of his good treasure brings forth good; and from his evil treasure a bad man brings out evil.
36 Ahihang, kei kong ci na ah, a kuamapo phattuamna om ngawl a pau kammal te pan thukhenna thuak kik tu hi.
"I tell you that for every careless word that men speak they shall give account on the day of judgment.
37 Nangma kampau te hang in na suakta tu a, nangma kampau na ma taw in mawsiatna thuak tu ni hi, ci hi.
"For by your words you will each be justified, and by your words be condemned."
38 Thukham hil te le Pharisee te pawlkhat in, syapa awng, musakna lim khat hong lak tan, ci uh hi.
Then some of the Scribes and Pharisees accosted him. "Teacher," they said, "we want to see some sign from you."
39 Jesus in, Mihing pha ngawl le thu man ngawl te awng; kamsangpa Jonah musakna lim simngawl a dang om ngawl hi:
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 Banghangziam cile, Jonah sia whale ngasa ngilsung ah ni thum le zanthum sung a om bangma in; mihing Tapa zong lei sung ah ni thum le zan thum sung om tu hi.
"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 Thukhenna ni ciang in Nineveh khuami te sia hi minam te taw hong ding tu a, mawsiat tu uh hi: banghangziam cile amate in Jonah thuhil na a zak uh ciang in kisik tek uh hi; en vun, Jonah sang in a lianzaw ziaksung ah om hi.
"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 Thukhenna ni ciang in, thangsang ngam kumpinu hong ding tu a, hong mawsiat tu hi: banghangziam cile kumpi Solomon ciimna za nuam in leitung mongkhat pekpan in hongpai hi; en vun, Solomon sang in a lianzaw ziaksung ah om hi.
"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 Thaniin sia mihing khat sung pan a puasua ciang, mun ko ngaw sung teng ah tawlngak natu zong in vak kakawai napi, mu ngawl hi.
"Whenever an unclean spirit leaves a man, it wanders through waterless places, seeking rest but finding none.
44 Ka pusua na mun inn sung ah heakkik tong, ci hi; a thet ciang in tua inn sia a hawm, a ki phiat sa le a ki pua sa in mu hi.
"Then it says, "‘I will go back to my house which I left’; and on arrival finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Tasiaciang, pai in ama sang a sukzaw thaniin sali te kaizawn in, tua inn sung ah tum in om khawm uh hi: tuapa i omdan sia amasa sang in suk zawkan hi. Hibang tatsia minam te tasia bangma hi tu hi, ci hi.
"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 Jesus mihon pite thu a hil laitak in, A nu le a suapuipa te hong theng a, a puasang ah ama paupui nuam in ding uh hi.
While he was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers were standing outside, desiring to speak to him.
47 Taciang mi khat in, en in, na nu le na suapui te nangma paupui nuam in puasang ah ding hi, ci in son hi.
So some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, and wanting to speak to you."
48 Jesus in, Ka nu akua ziam? a kua ziam ka suapui te? ci in zo kik hi.
But he answered the man who told him, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?"
49 Taciang, a nungzui te kawk in, En in, ka nu le ka suapui te!
And stretching his hand toward his disciples, he said,
50 Akua mapo vantung a om Ka Pa i deina bang a seam peuma, ka suapui pa, ka suapui nu te a hihi, ci hi.
"Behold my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven, is my brother and sister and mother."
