Matthew 19
1 Jesus in hi thu teng a son zawkciang, Galilee ngam nusia in, Jordan ngun ngalkhat Judah ngam ah pai hi.
And when Jesus had finished these discourses, He departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond Jordan:
2 Mihon tampi in zui a; tua mun ah mi tampi damsak hi.
and great multitudes followed Him, and there He healed them.
3 Pharisee te a kung ah hongpai a, bang thu po taw ahizong pasal khat in a zi a khul tu sia ngeina a hi ziam? ci in aita nuam in dong uh hi.
And the pharisees came to Him to ensnare Him, and asked Him, whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Jesus in, a kipatcil in a vawtpa in numei le pa in vawt hi, ci thu sim ngei ngawl nu ziam,
And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He, who made them at first, made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
5 Hi thu hang in pasal in a pa le a nu nusia tu a, a zi beal tu hi: bekdom ngawl amate ni sia phumkhat hi tu hi, ci thu zong sim ngei ngawl nu ziam?
and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh:
6 Tua ahikom amate sia ni hi nawn ngawl in pumkhat suak hi. Pathian i ngawmsa sia mihing in khen heak tahen, ci hi.
so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. And therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 Amate in Jesus kung ah, Moses in zi khul na lai at in, khul tahen, ci in banghang thupia ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
They say unto Him, Why then did Moses order a bill of divorce to be given, and so to put her away?
8 Jesus in amate tung ah, Moses in na thinpui lei uh hang in zi khul tu hong oai hi: ahihang a kipatcil in tabang hi ngawl hi.
He answered them, Moses because of your hardheartedness, permitted you to put away your wives; but it was not so from the beginning:
9 Keima in hibang kong ci hi, khatpo in paktat na simngawl thudang hang in a zi khul in, zi dang a nei peuma palngul mawna vawt a hihi, taciang a khul sa sia a tenpui pa zong palngul mawna vawt a hihi, ci hi.
and I tell you, that whosoever putteth away his wife, except for whoredom, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he that marrieth her so put away committeth adultery.
10 A nungzui te in Jesus kung ah, pasal le a zi thu sia tabang a hile, ki ten awl vet tu phazaw hi, ci uh hi.
His disciples say unto Him, if the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not adviseable to marry:
11 Jesus in amate tung ah, Tabang thu sia, mi theampo i san thei hi ngawl hi, tua tel a ki pia teng bek in nga tu hi.
but He said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying of yours, but those only who have the gift of continence:
12 Banghangziam cile, pawlkhat te sia a nu sung pan a sua lilim in cilkhe in suak hi: pawlkhat te sia amate vawttawm in cilkhe hi: pawlkhat te sia vantung kumpingam atu in amate le amate cilkhe in ki vawt uh hi. Tabang in a sang te bek in sang ta uh hen, ci hi.
for there are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.
13 Tua zawkciang in patangno te lu tung ah khut nga a, thungetsak tu dei in Jesus kungah paipui uh a; nungzui te in tei hi.
Then were brought to Him little children, that He might put his hands upon them, and bless them: and the disciples rebuked them;
14 Ahihang Jesus in, Patangno te ka kung ah hongpai tahen, khak heak vun: banghangziam cile vantung kumpingam sia hibang te atu a hihi, ci hi.
but Jesus said, Suffer the children to come to me, and do not hinder them: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Jesus in patangno te i lutung ah khutnga a, tuazawkciang paisan hi.
And when He had laid his hands on them, he departed thence.
16 Khat hongpai in, sya pha awng, tawntung nuntakna ka nei natu in bang ngamtatpha seam tu khi ziam? ci in dong hi. (aiōnios g166)
And behold, there came one to Him, and said, Good master, what good shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus in, Banghang in, pha, hong ci ni niam? A pha khat bek om a, tua in Pathian a hihi: ahihang nuntakna sung ah na tum nuam le thupiak te zui in, ci hi.
And He said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou desirest to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Tua pa in koisia bel ziam? ci in dong hi. Jesus in, Tualthat heak in, palngul mawna vawt heak in, nguta heak in, tetti man ngawl pang heak in,
He saith unto Him, Which? And Jesus answered, Thou shalt do no murther, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and mother;
19 Na nule na pa zakta in: nangma le nangma na ki it bang in na innpam te zong it in, ci in zo kik hi.
and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self.
20 Tangval pa in hi te theampo ka no lai pan in ka zui siat sa hi: bang kisamlai khi ziam? ci in dong hi.
The young man saith unto Him, All these have I kept from my youth: wherein am I yet deficient?
21 Jesus in ama kung ah, Na cialcing nuam le va pai tan a, na neisa te zuak in a, a zawngte pia in, tua hile vantung ah neisa na nei tu hi: tuazawkciang hongpai tan a, hong zui tan, ci hi.
Jesus replied, If thou wouldst be perfect, go, sell thy estate, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.
22 Ahihang tangvalpa in a zakciang in a thin nuam ngawl in pusuak hi: banghangziam cile ama sia nei le lam tam mama nei hi.
But when the young man heard that, he went away sorrowful; for he had large possessions.
23 Tua zawkciang Jesus in a nungzui te kung ah, A man tatak in kong ci ciang, vantung kumpingam sung ah tua mihaupa sia haksa tak in tum tu hi.
Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I tell you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven:
24 Kong ci kik hi, mihau khat Pathian kumpingam sung a tum sang in, kala-uk khat phil bilvang sung a tum tu ol zaw lai hi, ci hi.
and again I tell you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Tua thu a nungzui te in a zakciang in lamdangsa mama uh a, a kua peuma ngupna nga zo thong tu ziam? ci uh hi.
His disciples, when they heard this, were exceedingly struck, and said, Who then can be saved?
26 Ahihang Jesus in amate en a, Hi thu sia mihing te atu in piang thei ngawl hi; ahihang Pathian atu in na theampo piang thei siat hi, ci hi.
But Jesus looking upon them said unto them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
27 Taciang Peter in, En in, na theampo nusia khu hi; bang ka nga tu uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
Then Peter replied and said unto Him, Behold we have quitted all and have followed thee; what then shall we have?
28 Jesus in amate tung ah, A man tatak kong ci ciang, na theampo puaphat hun hong theng tu hi, mihing Tapa sia a vangletna tokhum tung a to ciang in, no ka nungzui te tokhum sawmleni tung ah to in, Israel minam sawmleni te thu na khen tu uh hi.
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I tell you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon the twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel:
29 Khatpo in keima hang in a inn le a lo, a nu le a pa, a suapui, a zi le a ta a nusia a hile, a se zakhat in sang kik tu a, tawntung nuntakna ngamh in lua tu uh hi. (aiōnios g166)
yea and every one who hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall receive an hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Ahihang amasa te nungkhak tu a, a nungkhak te amasa hi tu hi.
But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.
