Meanwhile when myriads of the multitudes were thronging around him so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples, first of all. "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisee, which is hypocrisy.
2 Phat ahung lhunge, thil akikhukhum jouse kiphongdoh ding ahi, chule aguh'a umjouse jong mijouse koma kihetsah ding ahi.
"There is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed; nothing concealed that shall not be known.
3 Muthim'a nasei jouseu chu khovah a kija ding ahi, chule kot kikhakhum na a olcha nakiseipeh toujong chu inchunga mijouse jah'a kisamphong ding ahi! Gin Ding Koipen Ham?
"So that what you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light; and what you have whispered in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 “Ngailut umtah jol le gol te, natahsa that thei hochu kicha hih'un.” Hiche jou le chun nachungah ima abolthei tapouve.
"But I say to you who are my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Ahin kichat ding koi ham naseipeh unge. Pathen kichauvin, aman nangho tha nathei le damun'a lelut nathei thilboltheina tha anei ahi. Henge, ama ahi kichat ding. (Geenna g1067)
"I will warn you whom you ought to fear. Fear him who, after he was after he has killed, has power to throw you into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Vasah nga man ijat ham–paisa ni man ham?” Ahin Pathen in khat jeng jong asumil pon ahi.
"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God!
7 Chuleh nalu'a na samjang ho jengjong aboncha kisimtoh soh ahitai. Hijeh chun kicha hih'un; nangma vasah honpi jouse sanga manlujo nahi.
"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not! You are of more value than many sparrow!
8 Kaseipeh nahiuve, koi hileh hiche leiset'a lhangphonga keima eiseidoh chan chu, Mihem Chapan jong Pathen Vantilte jaona'a aseidoh ding ahi.
"And I tell you that whoever confesses me before men, the Son of man will confess him before the angels of God;

"and whoever disowns me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 Koihileh Mihem Chapa douna thusei chan chu kingaidam ding ahi, amavang koi hileh Lhagao Theng taitom'ah vang chu kingaidam louding ahi.
"If any one shall speak a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but he who is blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven.
11 “Chuleh kikhopna in'a vaipo hole thuneiho anga athu tan dinga nahin kai teng uleh, iti nakiven ding ham ahiloule ipi nasei ding thu ah lunggim hih un.
"And when they are bringing you before the synagogues and the rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you shall answer; or what you shall say;
12 Ajeh chu Lhagao Theng chun apettah a seiding napeh diu ahi,” ati.
"for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what you ought to say."
13 Chuin koiham khat'in mipi lah'a kon chun ahin kouvin, “Houhil, kasopipa jah'a kapa nei le gou eikihoppi nadingin seiyin,” ati.
Then one of the crowd said to him, "Master, tell my brother to give me my share of our inheritance."
14 Yeshuan adonbut'in, “Jol, kon nangni kah'a thutan'a eipansah'a, hiti khati iti kagel lhah ding ham?” ati.
"Man," said he, "who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
15 Chuin aman aseiben, “Chingtheiyun! Neipap kiloset kiti jouseah kivengun. Hinkho hi naneijat a kisim ahipoi,” ati.
And to the people he said, "Take heed and guard yourselves from all covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 Chuin aman thusim khat aseipeh tai: “Mihao khat hin loumun khat, alei phatah, ga hoitah tah sodoh aneiyin ahi.
Then he spoke to them in a parable. "The ground of a certain rich man bore heavy crops.
17 Amapa achangin akihoulim in, ‘Ipi kabol ding hitam? Ka lousoh ga jouse koina ding mun la kanei pon,’” ati.
"So he debated with himself saying, ‘What shall I do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.’
18 Chuin aman aseiyin, Kahetai! Kachangsal jouse phelhangting asanga lenjo cheh thahsah inge. Chutileh keiman ka chang le mim jouse kholkhomna ding dan ninglhingset in nei tange.
"And he said to himself. ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build larger ones in which I will store all my wheat and my goods.

"‘And I will say to my soul, "‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years! Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.’
20 Ahivangin Pathen in amapa jah'a chun, “Mingol! Tujan ma ma'a nathi ding ahitai. Chuteng leh nanatoh ga jouse hi koi chang tantem?” ati.

21 “Henge, lei gouthil bouseh kholkhom'a Pathen toh haosatah'a kiguijopna neilou mi chu angol ahi” ati.
"So is he that lays up treasures for himself and is not rich toward God."
22 Chuin, aseijuite kom lang ngan Yeshuan aseitai, “Hiche jeh'a hi keiman nitin hinkho a dingin lunggim hih'un kati ahi”—neh le chah ninglhing set'a chule sil le chen lhingset'a kanei ding hinam tin.
Then he said to his disciples. "For this is the reason I say to you. Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor yet your body what shall you wear.
23 Ajeh chu hinkho hi anneh ding sanga lujo, chule natahsa jong sille chen sanga lujo ahi.
"For the life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
24 Va-ah ho khu veuvin, amahon tula atu pouvin, at la a-at pouvin ahiloule khol la akholkhom pouvin, ajeh chu Pathen in avahnai. Chule nangho vacha ho sanga ama dinga loupijo nahiuve!
"Consider the ravens; they neither sow nor reap; they have no storehouse nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?
25 Nalunggim nau jousen nahinkho phat bihkhat ajopbe theiyem?
"And which of you by taking anxious thought can add a cubit to his height?
26 Chule lunggim nan imacha chutobang thil neocha jong alolhin sah theilouleh, thil lentah chunga jong lunggim chu ipi phachom ding ham?
"If then you cannot do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest?
27 “Lily pah ho le akhan doh dan khu veuvin. Amahon na jong atong pouvin chule avon hou jong akisem thei pouvin, ahin, Solomon jeng jong, aloupina jouse a akivon chun amaho tobang lom'in ahoijou poi.
"Consider the lilies how they grow! They toil not, neither do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Chuleh Pathen in pahcha ho tunia uma jing a meilhum sunga selut ding bon kidangtah'a akhohsah'a ahileh, aman nangma thonlouva nakhohsah teitei ding ahi. Ipi bol'a hibanga tahsan na neo hi naneiyu ham?”
"Now if God so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 “Chuleh ipi kaneh ding ham ipi kadon ding ham tin lungboi hih'un. Hiche ho thil'a chun lunggim hih'un.
"So do not be asking what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of doubtful mind.
30 Hiche thil hohin vannoi pumpia atahsanlou ho lungsung alodim'in ahi, ahivangin Napauvin nangaichat changseu chu ahemasa jitai.
"For all these things the nations of the world are seeking; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Pathen lenggam chu thil jouse sangin hol'un, chule aman nangaichat chan'u napeh diu ahi.”
"But seek his kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.
32 “Hijeh chun kicha hih'un, hon lhom ho, ajeh chu nangho lenggam peh ding hi napau dinga kipana lentah ahi.”
"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 “Nanei nagou ho joh'un lang angaicha ho peuvin. Hichun van'a gou nakhol peh dingu ahi! Chule van-gam a sumdip hon chultih aneipouvin chule atovang aum khapoi. Nagou khol chu bitkeiya umding ahi; guchan jong aguhmang theilou ding ahi chule nget'in jong asuhset thei lou ding ahi.”

"Blessed is that slave whom his master on his coming shall find so doing.

45 Ahinlah, iti tantem asohpa chun, “Kapakai pa hi tem'in hung ponte” tin gelhen lang, asohdang ho vo hen, neh nom ne hen, ju kham kham jeng taleh?
"But if that slave should say to himself, ‘My master delays his coming,’ and should begin to beat the men and the maids, and to eat and drink and to get drunk,

"that slave’s master will arrive on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour when he knows not, and will surely scourge him, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 “Chule soh khat apakai pa dei he'a, ahivanga kigongtup lou chule akihilchah na ho tongdoh lou chu, nasatah a bolgimna ato ding ahi.
"The slave who knew his Lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, will be beaten with many lashes,
