Luke 7
1 When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.
A ol te pilnam kah a hna ah boeih a baetawt sak phoeiah tah Kapernaum la kun.
2 There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.
Te vaengah rhalboei kah sal pakhat te tloh a khueh tih dalh duek. Anih tah a taengah a khoelh la om.
3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.
A kawng a yaak coeng dongah Judah patong rhoek te Jesuh taengla a tueih tih a sal hoeih sak ham halo dae saeh tila a cael.
4 They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,
Te rhoek loh Jesuh te a paan uh phoeiah ngahngah a cael uh tih, “Anih te doedan tueng la om he,
5 for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
mah namtu a lungnah dongah tunim te khaw anih long ni mamih ham a sak,” a ti nah.
6 So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.
Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh a caeh puei tih im pha ham pataeng hla voel pawh. Te vaengah rhalboei loh a puei rhoek te a tueih tih, “Boeipa, na tawnba mai pawt nim? Ka imphu ah na kun ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih.
7 That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Namah te kam paan ham khaw ka tueng moenih. Tedae ol kamat mah thui lamtah ka sal he hoeih bitni.
8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
Kai khaw saithainah aka khueh hmuikah aka om hlang pakhat van ni. Kamah hmuiah rhalkap rhoek khaw om van. Te dongah pakhat te “Cet” ka ti nah tih cet, pakhat te, “Ha lo lah,” ka ti nah tih ha lo mai. Te dongah tahae kah bangla na saii pah vetih ka sal te a saii mako,” a ti nah.
9 When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
Te te Jesuh loh a yaak vaengah a ngaihmang. Te dongah anih aka vai hlangping te a mael thil tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, Israel khuiah pataeng tangnah heyet ka hmuh moenih,” a ti nah.
10 And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
A tueih rhoek te im la a bal uh vaengah rhalboei kah a sal te sading la a hmuh uh.
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.
A vuen a pha neh Nain la a khue kho pakhat la cet. Te vaengah anih te a hnukbang rhoek neh hlangping loh muep a puei uh.
12 As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
Khopuei vongka neh a yoei vaengah manu pakhat tah capa khueh duen te a duek pah tih tarha hang khuen. Anih te nuhmai la om dae, khopuei kah hlangping loh anih taengah muep omuh.
13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”
Anih te a hmuh vaengah Boeipa loh anih soah a thinphat tih, “Rhap boeh,” a ti nah.
14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”
A paan tih rhoep te a taek vaengah aka kawt rhoek loh cawt a pai puei uh. Te phoeiah, “Cadong namah, thoo laeh ka ti,” a ti nah.
15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.
Te dongah aka duek te ngol tih pahoi cal. Te phoeiah anih te a manu taengla a paek.
16 A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”
Te vaengah rhihnah loh boeih a thing uh. Te dongah, “Mamih taengah tonghma puei ha thoeng coeng, Pathen loh a pilnam a hip,” a ti uh tih Pathen a thangpom uh.
17 And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.
Te dongah Jesuh kah ol loh Judah pum neh te rhoek pingpang boeih a pha.
18 Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.
Te rhoek boeih te a hnukbang rhoek loh Johan taengla a puen pauh. Te dongah Johan loh a hnukbang rhoek khuikah panit te a khue.
19 So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
Boeipa taengla a tueih tih, “Aka pawk la na om coeng atah a tloe ka lamso pueng aya?” a ti nah.
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”
Tekah hlang rhoi loh Jesuh te a paan rhoi tih, “Tuinuem Johan loh nang taengla kaimih rhoi n'tueih tih, 'Aka pawk la na om atah a tloe ka lamso aya? ' a ti,” a ti nah.
21 At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.
Te vaeng tue ah tlohtat khaw, nganboh khaw, mueihla thae muep a hoeih sak. Mikdael rhoek khaw muep a hmuh sak.
22 So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
Te phoeiah amih te a doo tih, “Cet uh lamtah na hmuh neh na yaak te Johan taengla puen pah. Mikdael loh a hmuh coeng, aka khawn loh pongpa coeng, hmaibae khaw cing tih hnapang loh a yaak, aka duek rhoek khaw thoo uh coeng, khodaeng loh olthangthen a yaak coeng.
23 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
Tedae kai kongah a khah pawt te tah yoethen la om,” a ti nah.
24 After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
Johan kah puencawn rhoi te a caeh phoeiah Johan kawng neh hlangping te, “Khosoek la na caeh uh vaengah balae na hmuh uh? Khohli kah a hinghuen capu a?
25 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
Tedae himbai hnal neh aka phuekhlak uh hlang te hmuh ham nim na caeh uh? Rhuepom pueinak neh pumdomnah dongah kho aka sa rhoek tah manghai-im ah om uh lah ko ke.
26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
Tedae na caeh uh te balae na hmuh uh? Tonghma a? Ue ta, nangmih taengah tonghma lakah khaw olpuei ka ti rhoe ta.
27 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
A kawng la a daek pah te anih ni. Ka puencawn te Nang hmai ah kan tueih. Anih long ni nang hmaikah na longpuei te a rhoekbah eh.
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Nangmih taengah kan thui, huta kah a cun rhoek khuiah Johan lakah aka tanglue a om moenih. Tedae Pathen ram khuiah a yit koek long pataeng anih lakah tanglue la om,” pahoi a ti nah.
29 All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.
Aka ya pilnam boeih neh mangmucoi rhoek long tah Pathen te a tang sak uh tih Johan kah baptisma neh nuem uh.
30 But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
Tedae Pharisee rhoek neh olming rhoek long tah Pathen kah mangtaengnah te amamih ham a aal uh dongah Johan lamloh nuem uh pawh.
31 “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?
Te dongah tahae cadil hlang rhoek ba nen nim ka thuidoek lah vetih unim phek a loh uh he?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
Hnoyoih hmuen ah ngoluh tih khat neh khat aka khue uh thae camoe rhoek phek a lohuh. Amih loh, “Nangmih ham phavi kan tum uh dae na lam uh pawh. Kan hlai uh akhaw na rhap uh pawh,” a ti uh.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
Tuinuem Johan ha pawk tih buh ca pawh, misur khaw a ok pawt hatah, 'Rhaithae a khueh,’ na ti uh.
34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Hlang capa loh ha pawk tih a caak, a ok hatah, 'hlang khaw carhut neh yumi la he, mangmu aka coi neh hlangtholh rhoek kah a paya ni, ' na ti uh.
35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
Tedae cueihnah loh a ca rhoek te boeih a tang sak.
36 Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.
Pharisee pakhat loh Jesuh te amah taengah buh ca la a cael. Te dongah Pharisee im la kun tih a vael van.
37 When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
Pharisee im ah buh a vael te kho ah aka om hlangtholh nu loh lawt a ming.
38 As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.
Te dongah botui te lungbok um dongah a khuen tih a rhah doela Jesuh kho tang ah pai. Te phoeiah Jesuh kho te mikphi neh koe a sul tih a lu sam neh a huih pah. A kho te a mok pah tih botui neh a hluk pah.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”
Anih aka khue Pharisee loh a hmuh vaengah a khuiah a toel tih, “Anih he tonghma la om koinih amah aka taek huta te, unim?, mebangnim? ti khaw a ming ni ta, hlangtholh dae ni ke,” a ti.
40 But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.
Te dongah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Simon, nang taengah thui ham bet ka khueh,” a ti nah. Anih long khaw, “Thui lah saw saya,” a ti nah.
41 “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Puhlah pakhat taengah purhong panit om tih, pakhat loh denari yanga, pakhat loh sawmnga a ba.
42 When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
Tedae a thuung nah a khueh rhoi pawt dongah vik a yoe sak. Te vaengah amih rhoi khuiah ulae puhlah a lungnah ngai eh?,” a ti nah.
43 “I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
Simon loh a doo tih, “A yet a yoe sak te ka ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Buelh na naai het coeng,” a ti nah.
44 And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
Te phoeiah huta taengla mael tih Simon te, “Huta he na hmuh a? Nang im khuila ka kun dae, kai he kho silh tui nan paek moenih. Anih long tah kai kho he mikphi neh a sul tih a sam neh a huih.
45 You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.
Kai taengah moknah khaw nang khueh pawh, anih long tah ka kun parhi te kai kho a mok he toeng voel pawh.
46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.
Ka lu he situi nan hluk pawh, anih long tah ka kho he botui neh a hluk.
47 Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
Te dongah ni namah taengah kan thui, anih tah tholh a yet loh a hlah coeng dongah muep a lungnah. Tedae a yool a hlah pah long te tah a yool ni a lungnah,” a ti nah.
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Te phoeiah huta te khaw, “Na tholhnah loh n'hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
49 But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Te vaengah aka vael rhoek loh amamih khuiah, “Tholh aka hlah pah te ulae aka om he,” pahoi a ti uh.
50 And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Huta te khaw, “Na tangnah loh nang ng'khang coeng, ngaimong la cet laeh,” a ti nah.
