Luke 9
1 And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases:
Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he xaleinghngih atänga jah khü lü, khawyai he avan jah mkhütnaka johit la natnak he jah m'yainak be theinak jah pe lü,
2 and he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Pamhnama khawa mawng sang hü khai he la, am phetki he jah m’yai be khai hea a jah tüih.
3 And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two coats each.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami cehnaka ipi ä nami cehei vai, ksawngkhea pi kyase, kthäheinaka ngjaa pi kyase, eia pi kyase, nguia pi kyase, ä nami cehei vai, kcu nghngih ä nami cehei vai.
4 And whatever house you enter, there remain, and thence depart.
“Acunüng nami phanaka ima nami awm laih laih vai, acun üngka naw nami ktawih be vai.
5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off even the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.
“Am ning jah dokhamki cun, acuna mlüh üngka naw nami ktawih be üng, ami ngsingnak vaia nami khawpha üngka mvut nami khawk hüt vai,” a ti.
6 And they departed, and went through every village, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.
Acunüng axüisaw he cun ktawih u lü, ngnam naküta cit hü u lü, thangkdaw sang hü u lü, hmün naküt üng ami jah m’yai hü be.
7 And Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;
Acunüng, Kalile uki Herod naw ahmäi ngja law lü aktäa cäi lawki; avang he naw, “Baptican Johan xüng law beki ni,” ami ti.
8 and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that a prophet of ancient times had risen again.
Avang naw, “Elijah ngdang lawki ni,” ti u se, avang he naw, “Ajana sahma mat mat xüng law beki he ni” ami ti.
9 And Herod said: John I have beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
Acunüng, Herod naw, “Johan cun a lu ka xün päng ni, ahikba sena a mawng ka ngjak hin u ni?” a ti. Acunüng Herod naw Jesuh a hmuh vai aktäa ngjahlüki.
10 And the apostles returned, and told him all that they had done. And he took them, and withdrew privately to a desert place, that belonged to a city called Bethsaida.
Acunüng, ngsä he law be u lü, ami bilawh he Jesuh üng ami jah mtheh law. Acunüng, Jesuh naw jah ngkhahpüi lü Bethsaida mlüh ami tia, a jah cehpüi.
11 But the multitudes knew it, and followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
Cunsepi, khyang he naw sim u lü, ami läk laih laih, acunüng Jesuh naw aktäa jah dokham lü, Pamhnama khawa mawng ngthu jah mtheki naw, m’yai be vai avan a jah m’yai be.
12 And the day began to decline; and the twelve came and said to him: Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and the country round about, and lodge, and find food; for we are here in a desert place.
Acunüng, nghngi kya law hlü se, xaleinghngih he Jesuha veia law u lü, “Khyang he mi peisu ngnam he la loea jah tüia, ngsutnak la ei vai hmuei khai hea, hina mäih khawkhyawng khawa mi awm ve,” ami ti.
13 But he said to them: Do you give them food. They replied: We have nothing but five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy food for all these people.
Acunüng Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nangmi naw ami ei vai jah pe ua,” a ti. Acunüng axüisaw he naw, “Muk mhma la nga nglung nghngih ni kami tak. Hin he avana hama, ei vai kami va kheih vai ti aih lü? ami ti.
14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them recline in companies of fifty.
Kpami däng pi thawng mhma lawki hea kyaki. Acunüng Jesuh naw, axüisaw he üng, “Mhmakip cia, aphäh phäha jah ngawhsak u,” a ti.
15 And they did so, and made them all recline.
Acunüng acunkba ami van ami jah ngawhsak.
16 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave them to the disciples, to set before the multitude.
Jesuh naw muk mhma la nga nglung nghngih lo lü, khankhawa hang mang lü, josenak am kbe lü, boki naw, khyang hea maa, ami tak vaia axüisaw he üng a jah pet.
17 And they all ate, and were satisfied; and there was taken up what remained to them of the broken pieces, twelve baskets.
Acunüng, ami van naw ei u lü phü u se, ami ei mnawi cä xaleinghngiha ami kaw.
18 And it came to pass, as he was praying in a retired place, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying: Who do the multitudes say that I am?
Acunüng hinkba kyaki, Jesuh amät ktaiyü se, axüisaw he a veia lawki he, Jesuh naw, “Khyang he naw ua ni ami na ngaih,” ti lü a jah kthäh.
19 They answered and said: John the Immerser; but some, Elijah; and others, that some prophet of ancient times has risen again.
Acunüng, axüisaw he naw, “Baptican Johana ning ngai ve u; cunsepi, avang naw, ‘Elijaha’ ning ngai ve u, avang naw, ‘Akphyüma sahma mat mat xüng law beki ni’ ti ve u,” tia ami msang.
20 He said to them: But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said: The Christ of God.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna akyaküng, nangmi naw mä ua ni nami na ngaih,” a ti. Pita naw, “Nang cun Mhnama Mesijah ni” a ti.
21 And he strictly charged them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Acunüng, upi acuna mawng ä ami mtheh vaia a jah ksük.
22 saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Khyanga capa naw aktäa khuikhanak khamei khai, angvai he, ktaiyü ngvai he la thum ksing he naw ma khai he, hnima kya khai, amhmüp kthum üng tho law be khai,” a ti.
23 And he said to them all: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Acunüng, ami vana veia, “Upi na läk law khai ngaiki naw amät ä ngaikyu lü, a kutlamktung amhmüp tä se kawt lü na läk law se.
24 For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
“Upi a xünnak küikyanei khai büki naw mkhyüh lü, upi keia phäha, a xünnak mkhyühki naw küikyanei khai.
25 For what will it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and destroy himself, or be lost?
“Khyang naw khawmdek avan ka na lü, amät la amät pyeh se, am acunüng xükse, ia ni a ngmangnak kawm?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory; and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.
“Upi, kei la ka ngthu ngkekhyakei naki cun, khyanga Capa naw, a pa hlüngtainak, amäta hlüngtainak la khankhawngsä ngcim he am a law be üng, ngkekhyakei na be khai.
27 But I say to you, of a truth, there are some of these who stand here that shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hin üng ngdüiki he avang, Pamhnama khaw am ami hmuh hlana küt üng am thi khai he awmki he” a ti.
28 And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Acuna ngthu a pyen kän amhmüp khyet üng, Pita, Johan la Jakuk jah ngkhahpüi lü, ktaiyü khaia mcunga kaiki.
29 And as he prayed, the appearance of his face was changed, and his raiment became white and glittering.
A ktaiyü k’um üng, a hmai hnga law lü, a suisak he a ktäa bawk law lü ngkah lawki.
30 And, behold, two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elijah;
Acunüng, khyang nghngih Jesuh am ngthuheiki xawi, acun kxawi cun Mosi la Elijaha kyaki xawi,
31 they appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
khankhaw hlüngtai kyäpsawknak suiawi ni lü, Jerusalema a khuikhanak vaia mawng pyenki xawi.
32 And Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but having fully awakened, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
Acunüng, Pita la a püi he ipeiki he let law u lü, a hlüngtainak la a peia khyang nghngih ngdüiki xawi ami jah hmuh.
33 And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said.
Acun xawi naw Jesuh ani ktawih law hlü tak üng, Pita naw i a pyen ä ksingei lü Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, hia awm hin daw ve, na hama mat, Mosia hama mat, Elijaha hama mat samca kthum kami sa khai,” a ti.
34 While he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it overshadowed them; and they were afraid as those men entered the cloud.
Acukba a pyen k’um üng khawngmei naw jah msungin law se, axüisaw he kyü lawki he.
35 And there came a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
Ngmei üng “Hin hin ka xüa ka Capa ni, a ngthu ngai u,” tia ngthu ngthang lawki.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one, in those days, any of the things which they had seen.
Acunüng, ngthu a ngdüm la, Jesuh amät däng ami hmuh. Axüisaw he cun am khikheh u lü, ami hmuha mawng cun, acuna pät üng u üng pi am mtheh u.
37 And it came to pass, that, on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
A ngawi üng mcung üngka naw axüisaw kthum am kyum be u se, khyang khawjah naw ami na khyum.
38 And, behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying: Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;
Acunüng, khyang hea ksunga khyang mat ngpyang lü, “Saja aw, amät däng ka canak ka capa teng law, ning hui na veng.
39 and, behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him into convulsions, and causes him to foam, and after depriving him of strength, hardly departs from him.
“Khawyai naw man khawi se, ngpyangin sawxat xatki, a mci mvawn pi kya law khaia pawh lü mdek üng a kyuk sak khawi, acunkba mkhuimkha lü am ceh hlü ta.
40 And I entreated thy disciples to cast it out; but they were not able.
“Acunüng, na xüisaw he üng ami ktäm vaia jah nghui na ni se, amimi naw pi ani cun am ami ktäm thei,” a ti.
41 And Jesus answering, said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you! Bring your son hither.
Jesuh naw, “Jumnak am ta lü, üpnak am awmkia khyang he, nami veia ivei ka awm khai aw? Ivei ka ning jah msawk vai aw?” ti lü, acuna khyang üng, “Na ca hia lawpüia,” ti lü a msang.
42 And while he was coming, the demon cast him to the ground, and threw him into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and restored the child to health, and gave him back to his father.
Acunüng, hnasen a law k'um üng, khawyai naw khawmdek khana kyuk sak lü, aknaa a pawh. Cunsepi, Jesuh naw, khawyai kse jüi lü, anghmaw mdaw beki naw a pa üng a pet.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they were all wondering at every thing that Jesus did, he said to his disciples:
Acunüng, khyang avan naw Pamhnama hlüngtainak cun aktäa kyühkhyai lawki he. Ami van naw acunkba, a bilawh he ami kyühkhyai law üng, Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng,
44 Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
“Ka ning jah mtheh hlü ä mhnih u; Khyanga Capa, khyang hea kut üng mansak vai ng'et law ve,” a ti.
45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they might not understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Cunsepi, a ngthu pyena suilam cun am ami ksing, ami ksing vaia mjiha kyaki, ami kthäh vaia pi ami kyüh.
46 And there arose a contention among them, which of them should be greatest.
Acunüng, u kyäp säih khai tia amimät he ana ngcuh hü u se,
47 But Jesus perceived the thought of their heart, and he took a little child, and made it stand by him,
Jesuh naw ami ngaikyunak jah ksing lü, hnasenca mat kai lü, a peia taki naw,
48 and said to them: Whoever will receive this little child on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
“Upi hina hnasenca, ka ngming üng dokhamki cun, kei na dokhamki ni, acunüng u pi, kei na dokhamki cun, kei na tüi lawki pi dokhamki ni. Nangmi üng jaw säihki, acun cen kyäp säih khai,” a ti.
49 And John answered and said: Master, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
Acunüng Johan naw, “Saja aw, khyang mat naw na ngming am khawyai he jah ktäm se kami hmuh, keimi üngka am nikia kyase am a pawh ti vaia kami kpyai,” a ti.
50 And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for whoever is not against us, is for us.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Ä kpyai ti ua, u pi nangmi am ning jah hnengki cun nami püia kyaki ni,” a ti.
51 And it came to pass, as the time for him to be taken up into heaven had fully come, that he set his face steadfastly to go up to Jerusalem.
Acunüng, khankhawa a cehnak vai ng'et law se, Jerusalema a ceh vai lingki.
52 And he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
Ngsä he a ma a jah na tüih. Acunüng, ana dawng u lü, ana ngtün pe khai hea Samarih khaw mata lutki he.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was turned toward Jerusalem.
Jerusalema cit khaia a büa phäha Samarih khyang he naw am a na dokham u.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said: Lord, is it thy will that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, even as Elijah did?
Acunüng, axüisaw xawi Johan la Jakuk naw acun ani ksing la, “Bawipa aw, hin he ami ngkhihnak bäih vaia, khankhawa mei han khü vaia na ngjahlüki aw?” tia ani kthäh.
55 But he turned and rebuked them, and said: You know not of what spirit you are.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ani veia nghlat law lü, a jah jüih.
56 And they went to another village.
Acunüng ngnam kcea citki he.
57 And it came to pass, as they were going on their journey, that a certain man said to him: Lord, I will follow thee wherever thou shalt go.
Lam ami ceh k'um üng khyang mat naw, “Na cehnak avana ka ning läk khai,” ti lü Jesuh a mtheh,
58 And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
Jesuh naw, “Sauie naw khui ta u lü, kha he naw pi ngbu taki he, khyanga Capa naw ta a lu a khännak vai la a xüieinak vai pi am ta ve,” a ti.
59 And he said to another: Follow me. But he replied: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw khyang kcea veia, “Na läk lawa,” a ti. Cunsepi ani naw, “Bawipa aw, cit be lü ka pa va k'ut hüt ma vang,” a ti.
60 Jesus said: Let the dead bury their own dead; but do you go and publish abroad the kingdom of God.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Khyangkthi he naw amimät akthi k'utei u se; nang ta Pamhnama khawa mawng ngthu va sanga,” a ti.
61 And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but first permit me to take leave of those at home.
Akce naw pi, “Saja aw, ka ning läk law khai; cunsepi, ka im üngka he, ngthukdaw am jah va ngkhyahpüi ma vang,” a ti.
62 Jesus said to him: No one that puts his hand to the plow, and looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw mtheh lü, “Upi, lai thawn khaia ngtün lü, a hnu lam tengki cun Pamhnama khaw am ä nghlawiki ni,” a ti.
