Luke 19
1 Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Zakkhaeus la a khue te lawt om. Anih tah mangmu boei neh kuirhang la om.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.
Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.
Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
5 When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”
Tekah hmuen la a pha vaengah Jesuh tah oeloe tih anih te, “Zakkhaeus, a loe la rhum, tihnin ah nang im ah ka naeh ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
6 So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
7 And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”
A pai neh Zakkhaeus loh Boeipa taengah, “Boeipa, Ka khuehtawn he rhakthuem he khodaeng rhoek ka paek. Hlang khat khat kah hno khat khat ni ka rhawt pah bal atah rhaepli la ka thuung coeng he,” a ti nah.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.
Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Anih tah Abraham capa la a om van dongah tihnin ah tah khangnah loh he imkhui la pai coeng.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Hlang Capa ha pawk he aka poci te toem ham neh khang ham rhoe pai ni,” a ti.
11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.
Jerusalem a pha tom vaengah a yaak neh Pathen kah ram a tueng hamla cai tomlael coeng tila a poek dongah nuettahnah pakhat te a thap tih a thui.
12 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
Te dongah a sal hlangrha te a khue tih mina lungrha te amih taengah a paek. Te phoeiah amih te, ' Amah ka pawk hil thimpom uh,’ a ti nah.
14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’
Tedae a pilnam rhoek loh anih te a hmuhuetuh. Te dongah amah hnukah laipai tloep a tueih uh tih, ' Kaimih soah a manghai ham he ka ngaih uh moenih,’ a ti na uh.
15 When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.
Ram te a loh tih amah ha mael vaengah tah tangka a paek a sal rhoek te amah taengla a khue tih metla a thimpom uh khaw ming hamla a dawt.
16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’
Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
17 His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
Te vaengah anih te, ' Then, sal then a yit dongah uepom la na om tih, kho parha soah saithainah aka khueh la om laeh,’ a ti nah.
18 The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
19 And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’
Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
20 Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.
Te phoeiah pakhat loh ha pawk tih, ' Boeipa, nang kah mina tah himbaica khuiah ka khueh tih ka tung he.
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’
Dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la na om dongah namah khaw kang rhih. Na khueh pawt te na phueih tih na tuh pawt te na ah,’ a ti nah.
22 His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
Anih te tah, ' Na ka lamkah vanbangla nang taengah ol ka tloek ni, sal thae aw, kai he dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la ka om te na ming coeng. Ka khueh pawt te ka poh tih ka tuh pawt te ka ah het a?
23 Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
Te vaengah balae tih ka tangka te caboei dongla na tloeng pawh. Kai ka pawk vaengah a casai neh ka dang kolo mako,” a ti nah.
24 Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
Te phoeiah aka pai rhoek te, ' Anih taengkah mina te lo uh lamtah mina lungrha aka khueh te pae uh,’ a ti nah.
25 ‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
26 He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
27 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
Tedae amih soah kai manghai sak ham ngaih pawh ka rhal rhoek te pahoi hang khuen uh lamtah ka hmaiah ngawn uh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
28 After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
29 As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,
Olives tlang a ti uh taengkah Bethphage neh Bethany te vat a pha vaengah hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
“Rhaldan kah kho la cet rhoi, a khuila na kun rhoi vaengah laakca a pael te na hmuh rhoi ni. Te soah hlang ngol noek pawt dae hlam lamtah hang khuen rhoi.
31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
khat loh nangmih rhoi te, 'Ba ham lae na hlam?' tila n'dawt atah, 'Boeipa loh a ngoe, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
32 So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
laak ca te a hlam rhoi vaengah a boei loh amih rhoi te, “Balae tih laak ca te na hlam rhoi,” a ti nah.
34 “The Lord needs it,” they answered.
Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
35 Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
Te te Jesuh taengla a khuen rhoi. Te phoeiah laak ca te a himbai neh a khuk uh tih Jesuh te a soah a ngol sakuh.
36 As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.
A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
37 And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
Olives tlang kah singling te a pha tom vaengah a thaomnah te hnukbang rhaengpuei loh pahoi boeih a hmuh uh. Te boeih nen te omngaih uh tih Pathen te ol neh rhuprhup a thangthen uh.
38 “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
“Boeipa ming neh aka pawk manghai tah a yoethen, vaan ah ngaimongnah, thangpomnah tah a sangkoek ah om saeh,” a ti uh.
39 But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
Te dongah hlangping lamkah Pharisee hlangvang loh amah te, “Saya, na hnukbang rhoek te toel lah,” a ti nah.
40 “I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”
Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
41 As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it
Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
42 and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
“Tahae kah ngaimongnah he nang long khaw tihnin ah na ming koinih, tedae na mikhmuh lamloh a thuh coeng.
43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.
Khohnin loh nang taengla ha pawk vetih na rhal rhoek loh nang te vaam n'too thil ni. Te vaengah nang te n'dum vetih voeivang ah nang te ng'et ni.
44 They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
Te phoeiah namah neh na khuikah na ca rhoek te a hnaa uh ni. Namamih kah hiphoelnah tue te na ming pawt yueng, na khuikah lungto sokah lungto pakhat pataeng hmaai uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
45 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.
Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
46 He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Amih te, “'Ka im tah thangthuinah im la om ni, 'tila a daek coeng dae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah khuirhung la na saii uh,” a ti nah.
47 Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.
Te phoeiah hnin takuem bawkim khuiah om tih a thuituen. Tedae khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh pilnam kah a congkhang long tah anih te poci sak ham a mae uh.
48 Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
