< Luke 13 >

1 At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
Amah a khoning vaengah Pilat loh hmueih neh Galileerhoek kah thii a thoek te hlangvang aka om rhoek loh Jesuh taengla puen uh.
2 To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?
Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Te te a yook uh dongah Galilee rhoek tah Galilee rhoek boeih lakah hlangtholh la om tila na poek uh a?
3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Moenih ta, nangmih taengah kan thui, na yut uh pawt atah boeih na poci uh van ni.
4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
Siloam kah imsang loh a bung thil tih aka duek hlairhet rhoek te ta. Amih tah Jerusalem khosa hlang boeih lakah hlangtholh ni tila na poek uh a?
5 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
Moeinih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, na yut uh pawt atah boeih na poci uh van ni,” a ti nah.
6 Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
Te phoeiah nuettahnah a thui bal. “Amah dum ah thaibu aka ling hlang pakhat om tih, a thaih hoel hamla ha pawk hatah hah a sawt.
7 So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
Te dongah dumpho taengah, 'Kum thum khuiah ka lo tih hekah thaibu dongah a thaih ka hoel dae hah ka sawt coeng he. Te dongah vung laeh, ba ham lae te nen te diklai a kang eh?,’ a ti nah.
8 ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
Tedae anih te a doo tih, “Boeipa, te te pin ka to li tih aek ka sang hil tah kum at he khaw hlun mai.
9 If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
Thanghal a pha atah a thaih khaw cuen mai ni ta, a thaih pawt bal atah na vung mai bitni,” a ti nah.
10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
Sabbath vaengah tunim pakhat ah om tih a thuituen.
11 and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.
Te vaengah kum hlairhetah ngoicaemnah mueihla aka kaem hutate pakcak ha thoeng. Anih te ting khun la om coeng tih khuek pai thai pawh.
12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”
Anih te a hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh a khue tih amah taengah, “Huta, Na ngoicaemnah te na hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
13 Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.
Te phoeiah hutate kut a tloeng thil hatah pahoi a dueng pah dongah Pathen te a thangpom.
14 But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”
Tedae Jesuh loh Sabbath vaengah a hoeih sak te tamtaeng loh a yakdam. Te dongah hlangping te a doo tih, “Hnin rhuk a om khuiah a saii ham te a kuek, te vaengah ha pawk kanoek vetihna hoeih uh mako, Sabbath hnin ah pawt mako,” a ti nah.
15 “You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?
Te dongah anihte Boeipa loh a doo tih, “Hlangthai palat rhoek! nangmih pakhat rhip loh Sabbath ah a vaito neh muli-marhang te khongduk lamkah a hlam tih tui tul ham a khuen uh moenih a?
16 Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”
Anih he Abraham canu la om dae ta. Amah he Satan loh kum hlai rhet a pin coeng ta he. Te dongah Sabbath khohnin ah he hloong dong lamkah loh hlam ham a kuek moenih a?,” a ti nah.
17 When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.
He he a thui vaengah, anih aka kingkalh rhoek boeih tah yah a poh uh. Tedae hlangping boeih tah amah loh rhuepom la boeih a thoeng sak soah omngaih.
18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
Te dongah koep a thui tih, “Balae Pathen kah ram phek la aka om?
19 It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
Tedae metlam ka thuidoek eh te? Te te mukang mu phek la om. Te te hlang loh a loh tih a dum ah a haeh. Tedae a rhoeng vaengah thing la poeh tih vaan kah vaa loh a hlaeng dongah bu a tuk,” a ti nah.
20 Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
Te phoeiah, “Ka thuidoek thil ham Pathen kah ram te tah tolrhu phek la om.
21 It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
Te te huta loh a loh tih vaidam khoi thum boeih a rhoi hil khaw a hlum thil,” koep a ti.
22 Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.
Khopuei vangca ah pah tih a thuituen phoeiah tah Jerusalem la a caeh long a tarhoek.
23 “Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,
Te vaengah hlang pakhat loh a taengah, “Boeipa, terhoek ca bueng khang koinih,” a ti nah.
24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Thohka caek longah kun hamla thingthuel uh lah. Nangmih taengah ka thui, a yet loh kun hamla a toem uh suidae noeng uh mahpawh.
25 After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
Imkung loh thoo tih thohka a khaih nen tah, poeng ah na pai uh pahoi vetih thohka te na khoek uh ni. Te vaengah, 'Boeipa, kaimih ham ong dae,' na ti uh ni. Tedae nangmih te n'doo vaengah, 'Nangmih me kah aka om rhoek nim? kam ming moenih,’ a ti ni.
26 Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
Te vaengah, 'Namah taengah ka caak ka ok uh tih, kaimih kah toltung ah na thuituen ta,’ na ti uh ni.
27 And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’
Tedae nangmih taengah a thui vetih, 'Nangmih mekah aka om rhoek nim kam ming moenih, boethae kah bibikung rhoek kai taeng lamkah loh boeih nong uh,’ a ti ni.
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.
Te ah te rhah neh no rhuengnah ni aka om eh. Pathen kah ram ah Abraham, Isaak, Jakob neh tonghma rhoek te boeih na hmuh uh vaengah nangmih te phawn n'thaek uh ni.
29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
Te vaengah khocuk neh khotlak lamkah, tlangpuei neh tuithim lamkah loh ha pawk uh vetih Pathen kah ram ah ngolhlung uh ni.
30 And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
A hnuk la aka om rhoek te lamhma la om uh vetih, lamhma la aka om rhoek te a hnuk la om uh ni ke,” a ti nah.
31 At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”
Amah tekah a tue vaengah Pharisee pakhat loh Jesuh te a paan tih, “Khoe uh lamtah cet dingdoeng laeh, Herod loh nang ngawn ham a ngaih,” a ti nah.
32 But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’
Te dongah amih te, “Cet uh lamtah maetang te thui pa uh, rhaithae ka haek tih tihnin ah hoeihnah ka saii he thangvuen neh omvai ah ka coeng ni.
33 Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
Tedae kai ham tihnin neh thangvuen te khaw a kuek dongah caeh hamla om. Jerusalem voel ah tonghma sai a caeh te yae boel saeh.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, tonghma rhoek te aka ngawn tih a taengla a tueih pah rhoek te khaw aka dae, ainu loh a phae hmuiah a aicahui khoep a ku vaengkah a longim bangla, na ca rhoek te ka kholcui ham ka ngaih taitu dae na ngaih uh pawh.
35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Na im te nangmih taengla han hlah coeng he. Tedae nangmih ham ni ka thui. Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen, 'na ti uh tue te ha pawk duela kai nan hmuh uh loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
