Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Tua laitak in simzawk ngawl za dong in mihonpi hong ki kaikhawm kheukho uh a, khat le khat a ki phul ngawp liang uh laitak in, Jesus in a nungzui te kung ah amasabel in, Pharisee te tol a kici ki hitheamsak nate kidawm vun.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
Banghangziam cile a kilang ngawl tu in a ki sincip thei a om ngawl bangma in; heak ngawl tu in a ki phualcip thei zong om ngawl hi.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Tua ahikom khuazing sung ah na son theampo uh sia khuavak sung ah ki za tu hi; inndoi sung bil kung vacin pan na son uh te innkhum tung pan ki tangko tu hi.
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ka lawmte awng hong son khi hi, pumpi that in, tua zawkciang bangma a law thei nawn ngawl te lau heak vun.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Geenna g1067). Yes, I tell you, fear him.
Ahihang na lau tu uh te kidop na kong pia khol tu hi: a thalup zawkciang hell sung ah a khia thei sia na lau vun; hi hi, keima in kong son hi, lau vun. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Tonbawm nga ciang dangka san pia ni taw ki zuak hi, tua te khat zong Pathian in mangil ngawl hi ngawl ziam?
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Ahihang na lu tung uh a samzam te nangawn simsiat sa hi. Tua ahikom lau heak vun: note sia tonbawm tam mama sang in manphazaw nu hi.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
Keima in kong ci hi, a kuamapo mipi mai ah hong pualak sia, mihing Tapa in Pathian i vantungmi te mai ah ama zong pualak tu khi hi:
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
Ahihang mipi mai ah kei hong nial te Pathian i vantungmi te mai ah ka nial tu hi.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
A kuamapo in mihing Tapa langpan in a pau sia, ki maisak tu hi: ahihang a kuamapo Tha Thiangtho a sonsia peuma, ki maisak ngawl tu hi.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
Synagogue sung ah ahizong, ngam uk te le thunei te mai ah hong ki paipui ciang in, bangbang in, a hibale, bangbang zo kik tu, a hibale bang pau tu, ci in ngaisun heak vun:
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Banghangziam cile Tha Thiangtho in hong hil tu hi, ci hi.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Mipi sung pan khat in, Syapa awng, ka suapuipa in ngamh hong khen natu in hong sonsak tan, ci hi.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Taciang Jesus in, Pasal pa awng, note tung ah a kua in thukhen tu le ngamh khensak tu in hong vawt ziam? ci hi.
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
Tasiaciang in Jesus in amate tung ah, Duhopna kidawm vum: banghangziam cile mihing khat i nuntakna sia a dimlet liang a nei le a lam sung ah ki hel ngawl hi, ci hi.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Jesus in amate tung ah sontena khat son a, Mihau pa khat om a, a lo sung pan in an tam mama piang hi.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?’
Tasiaciang a thinsung pan in, an khol natu inndoi nei ngawl ka hikom, bangbang hi tu khi ziam? ci in ngaisun hi.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Tua ahikom, hibangin ka vawt tu hi: ka ansal ka phel siat tu a, a lianzaw in ka sa tu hi; tua mun ah ka an le van te theampo khol tu khi hi.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
Taciang ka thaa tung ah, Maw ka thaa awng, kum tampi atu kholsa van le na tam mama nei ni hi; suaktatak in, ne in a, dawn in, a nuam mama in om in, ka ci tu hi, ci hi.
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
Ahihang Pathian in ama tung ah, nang a mawmaw pa, tuzan mama in na thaa la tu khi hi: taciang na khol sa van theampo sia akua in lua tu ziam? ci hi.
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Tasia bangma in ama atu neisa khol a, Pathian sung ah a hau ngawl peuma, hi mihau pa taw kibang hi, ci hi.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Tua ahikom kong ci hi, na nuntakna atu in na kisap uh an le tui; na pumpi atu sil le ten atu in thintoi heak vun.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
An sang in nuntakna, puansil sang in pumpi thupi zaw hi.
24 Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Va-ak te nuntak na en vun: banghangziam cile amate thaici ciing ngawl a, tang zong at ngawl hi; ansal zong nei ngawl hi; ahihang Pathian in vak hi: note sia vacimno te sang in bangza in thupi zaw nu ziam?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
Note sung ah a kua in thintoi na taw a khan tongkhat belap thei tu ziam?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
Hi a nobel nangawn vawt thei ngawl na hi uh le, banghang a dang te thintoi nu ziam?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Duisung ah unok pak te bangbang in khang, ci ngaisun pak vun, naseam ngawl hi, khauzong hual ngawl hi; Keima in kong ci hi, Solomon in a minthanna theampo taw a kipua ciang in, hi pak khat zong ban zo ngawl lai hi.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Tuni po a, zingciang vawk in a ki hal tu lolai ah lopa te nangawn Pathian in zeam a hile, tuate sang in note hong zeam zaw mama tu hi ngawl ziam, no upna no te?
29 “Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Na neak tu uh le na dawn tu uh te zong heak vun, uplakna thinsung zong nei heak vun.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
Banghangziam cile hibang te sia leitung minam theampo te in zong peu uh hi; hibang nate kisam nu hi, ci na Pa uh in hong he hi.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Ahihang note sia Pathian kumpingam zong zaw vun; tua hile hibang na theampo hong pia thua tu hi.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Lau heak vun, tuuhon tawm no te awng; banghangziam cile note kumpingam piak tu sia na Pa uh i deina a hihi.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Na neisa uh te zuak vun a, mizawng te hu na pia vun; a nget le a lui thei ngawl te note atu in khol vun, na neisa te uh a bo thei ngawl na mun, nguta te a thet thei ngawl na mun le nget i neak thei ngawl na mun vantung ah khol vun.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Banghangziam cile na neisa uh om na mun ah na thinsung uh zong om tu hi.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Na kawng uh kawngkhau thua vun, na meivak uh tangsak vun;
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
Note mopoai pan in a topa hong theng a; kongkha hong kik pociang, hon pai tu in a ngak nginge te bang hi tavun.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
A topa a thet ciang in ama ngak nginge in a mu naseam te thuphatoai a hihi: a tatak kong ci ciang, a topa ama vateak in a kawngkhau kil in, a naseam te sia an ne tu in tosak tu a, amate an lui tu hi.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
Nai ni ciang ziam, nai thum ciang ziam, a topa hongpai a hile, ama ngak nginge in a mu, a naseam te thuphatoai a hihi.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Nguta hongpai tu hun sia, innteakpa in he hile, a inn cing nginge tu a, nguta i inn phulsak thuak ngawl tu hi.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him.”
Tua ahikom ki ngingsa in om vun: banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia na ki ngin ngawl uh laitak in hongpai tu hi, ci hi.
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Peter in, Topa awng, hi thu sontena sia koma atu nong son ziam maw, a hibale mi theampo atu ziam? ci hi.
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Topa in, A topa in ama innkuanpui te a hun a cin ciang in amate i tel tek neak tu a pia thei lampui koi tu a, a muantak le a ciim neisa keampa sia a kua ziam?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
A topa hongpai ciang in, na a sep laitak a mu, naseam pa thuphatoai a hihi.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
A tatak ka ciciang, tua naseam pa sia a topa in a nei theampo keam in koi tu hi.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
Ahizong naseam khat in a thinsung pan in, ka topa hongpai pai ngawllai tu hi, ci ngai sun a; naseam dang numei le pasal ci ngawl in vel tu hi, taciang ne le dawn tu a, zukham in om tu hi;
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Tua naseam pa in a upmawk ngawl ni le a ki ngin ngawl hun laitak in a topa hongpai tu a, tua naseam pa sia a topa in nasiatak in velcip tu hi, taciang thu um ngawl te taw ama ngatu a tel teng koisak tu hi.
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and did not prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Tua naseam in a topa dei na he nginge napi, vawtkhol ngawl in a topa deina bang in seam ngawl hi, tua naseam pa sia nasia mama in a liam dong vatcip tu hi.
48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Ahihang topa deina a heak ngawl hu in, a vawt te sia nasiatak liamna thuak tak napi, tawmbek liam in vat tu hi. Banghangziam cile khatpo tung ah tam mama a pia a hile, ama tung ah tam mama ki ngen kik tu hi: taciang mitampi a ap le, tampi ma ki ngen kik tu hi.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
Leitung ah mei kuangsak tu in kongpai hi; taciang a kuang zo bang hi zen thong le, bangza in uk khi ziam?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Ahihang thuak tu baptisma khat nei khi hi; tasia ka vawt ma teng ka thin nuam thei ngawl tu hi.
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Leitung ah kilemna pia tu in hongpai hi, ci hong ngaisun nu ziam? hong ci khi hi, tabang hi ngawl hi; kikhenna tu in hongpai zaw khi hi:
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Banghangziam cile tu pan kipan in inn khat sung ah mihing nga a om te ki khen tu a, thum te a dang ni te in langpan tu hi, taciang ni te a dang thum te in langpan tu hi.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
A pa in a tapa taw ki khen in ki langpan tu a, a tapa in zong a pa langpan kik tu hi; a nu in a tanu langpan tu a, a tanu in zong a nu langpan tu hi; a nu in a mo langpan tu a, a mo in zong a tonupi langpan tu hi, ci hi.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Jesus in mipi te tung ah, Nitum na sang pan mei hong kai ciang in, ngua zu tu hi, na ci thei pai uh a; zu takpi hi.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Thangsang pan in hui hong va le, khualum tu hi, na ci uh a; lum takpi hi.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not interpret this time?
No a ki hitheamsak te, van le lei pan in khuahun he thei nu hi; ahihang banghang in, tu hun paizia tel thei ngawl nu ziam?
57 “Why do not you judge for yourselves what is right?
Hi hi, banghang in thu man khat sia thukhen ngawl nu ziam?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Mihing khat in zum hong then le, zum na thet uh ma lamkal ah, a kung pan na suatak thei natu hanciam in; tabang na hi bale, thukhen pa kung ah hong ap tu a, thukhen pa in palik te kung ah hong ap in, palik te in thong hong taksak tu hi.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
Na liausum na piaksiat mateng, thonginn sung pan in suakta ngawl tu ni hi, ci in kong son hi, ci hi.
