Luke 9
1 Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.
Hnukbang hlainit te a hueh tih rhaithae te boeih khulae tih tlohtat hoeih sak ham amih taengah thaomnah neh saithainah a paek.
2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Te phoeiah Pathen ram hoe ham neh tattloel hoeih sak ham a tueih.
3 “Take nothing for the journey,” He told them, “no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no second tunic.
Te vaengah amih te, “Longpueng ham cunghol, sungsa, vaidam neh tangka khaw khuen uh boeh. Angki khaw yung nit khuen boeh.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.
Im te na kun thil coeng atah, na naeh uh to vetih te lamlohna nong uh mako.
5 If anyone does not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against them.”
Tedae nangmih aka doe pawt te tah kho lamkah na nong vaengah na kho dongah tangdik te, amih aka laipai thil ham khoek pa uh,” a ti nah.
6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.
Te dongah aka cet rhoek loh kho tom a hil uh tih olthangthen a thui phoeiah khotomrhali ah tloh a hoeih sakuh.
7 When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,
Aka om hno boeih te khoboei Herod loh a yaak vaengah sut hit. A ngen loh, “Johan te duek lamkah thoo coeng.
8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
A ngen bal loh, “Elijah phoe coeng te, “a tloe rhoek long tah, “Khosuen kah tonghma khat khat ni aka thoo coeng te,” a ti uh.
9 “I beheaded John,” Herod said, “but who is this man I hear such things about?” And he kept trying to see Jesus.
Tedae Herod loh, “Johan te ka rhaih coeng dae ulae aka om tih a thang vawk ka yaak he,” a ti tih amah hmuh ham a toem.
10 Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that they had done. Taking them away privately, He withdrew to a town called Bethsaida.
Caeltueih rhoek a bal uh vaengah amamih kah a saii uh boeih te Jesuh taengah a thui uh. Te phoeiah amih te a khuen tih Bethsaida a ti uh kho la amah bueng vil vi uh.
11 But the crowds found out and followed Him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and He healed those who needed healing.
Tedae anih aka vai hlangping loh a ming coeng dongah, amih te a doe tih Pathen ram kawng te amih ham a thui pah. Te vaengah hoeihnah aka ngoe rhoek khaw a hoeih sak.
12 As the day neared its end, the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside for lodging and provisions. For we are in a desolate place here.”
Khohnin loh a khum thuk vaengah hlainit rhoek loh amah te a paan tih, “Hlangping he tueih pawn sih, te daengah ni a taengvai kah kho neh lohma la cet vetih a pah nah ham neh buham khaw a dang uh eh. Khosoek hmuen ah ni ng'om uh he,” a ti uh.
13 But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
Tedae hnukbang rhoek te, “Amih kah a caak ham te nangmih loh pae uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amih loh, “He Pilnam pum ham caak aka lai la ka cet uh pawt koinih, vaidam panga neh nga panit lakah aka yet te kaimih taengah om voel pawh,” a ti uh.
14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Te vaengah hlang thawngnga tluk om uh. Tedae a hnukbang rhoek te, “Amih te a boel pakhat ah hlang sawmnga tluk rhip ngol sak,” a ti nah.
15 They did so, and everyone was seated.
Te dongah a saii uh van tih boeih a ngol sakuh.
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
Te phoeiah vaidam panga neh nga panit te a loh. Vaan la oeloe tih a uem phoeiah a aeh tih hlangping te patoeng paek hamla hnukbang rhoek taengah a paek.
17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
A caak uh tih boeih a hah uh phoeiah a coih a nueipil te voh hlainit la a phueih uh.
18 One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”
A tue loh a pha vaengah thangthui neh amah bueng om tih hnukbang rhoek loh anih te a puei uh. Te vaengah amih te a dawt tih, “Hlangping loh kai he ulae a ti uh?” a ti nah.
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
A doo uh tih, “Hlangvang loh tuinuem Johan, Elijah, hlangvang bal loh khosuen kah tonghma pakhat khat koep thoo,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
20 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Te phoeiah amamih te, “Nangmih long tah kai he ulae na ti uh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Peter loh a doo tih, “Pathen kah Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
Tedae amih te a ho tih te te thui pawt ham a uen.
22 “The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
Hlang Capa tah a muep a patang ham a kuek. Te dongah patong rhoek, khosoihham rhoek, neh cadaek rhoek loh a hnawt uh vetih a ngawn uh ni. Tedae a thum hnin ah thoo ni,” a ti nah.
23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
Amih boeih te khaw, “Khat khat long ni ka hnukah lo ham a ngaih atah, amah te hnawt uh saeh lamtah, a thinglam a koh doela hnin takuem ah kai m'vai van saeh.
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih te tah a hingnah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah hinglu aka poci long tah a hingnah a khang ni.
25 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?
Hlang loh Diklai pum a dang dae amah poci uh tih a sungdaeh atah balae a hoeikhang eh?
26 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
Kai neh ka ol he aka yah puei te tah capa kah, pa kah, a cim puencawn rhoek kah thangpomnah neh ha pawk vaengah hlang capa loh anih te a yah puei ni.
27 But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
Tedae nangmih taengah rhep kan thui. Hekah aka pai khuiah hlangvang om. Amih loh Pathen kah ram he a ming uh hlan atah dueknah te ten uh mueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
28 About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
He kah olka a poeng phoeikah hnin rhet tluk ah, Peter, Johan neh James te a khuen tih tlang la thangthui ham a caeh puei.
29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.
A thangthui vaengah a maelhmai kah a mueimae loh a tloe la om tih a pueinak te a bok la khooi.
30 Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.
Te vaengah hlang panit loh anih te tarha a voek rhoi. Amih rhoi tah Moses neh Elijah ni.
31 They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Amih rhoi tah thangpomnah neh phoe rhoi tih a Sunglatnah te a thui rhoi. Te te Jerusalem ah soep sak ham om coeng.
32 Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him.
Tedae Peter neh a taengkah rhoi tah a ih neh bakba a hap uh tih om uh. A haenghang uh vaengah a thangpomnah te a hmuh uh tih a taengah hlang panit ana pai pah.
33 As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
Amih rhoi te Jesuh taeng lamloh a khoe uh phoeiah Peter loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah he mamih ng'om uh ham then, dap pathum ah tuk uh sih, namah ham pakhat, Moses ham pakhat, Elijah ham pakhat saeh,” a ti nah tih a thui nawn te khaw ming pawh.
34 While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Te te a a thui vaengah muei yal tih amih te a dah. Te dongah muei khuila a kun uh te khaw a rhih uh.
35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”
Muei khui lamkah ol ha thoeng tih, “Anih tah ka tuek ka ca ni, a ol hnatun pa uh,” a ti.
36 After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
Ol a thui bawt ah Jesuh tah amah bueng te tueng. Amih khaw kam a khuem uh tih te khohnin ah a hmuh uh te puen uh pawh.
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
Hnin at om tih a vuen ah amih te tlang lamloh suntla uh. Te vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a doe.
38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat te hlangping khui lamloh tarha pang tih, “Saya, kai ham tah khueh duen la a om dongah, ka capa te nan paelki ham kam bih.
39 A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It keeps mauling him and rarely departs from him.
Anih te mueihla loh a tuuk tarha vaengah tah buengrhuet pang tih, tolhom neh suvaih. Anih te mat a ngawn a thaeh daengah a mael tak.
40 I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable.”
Mueihla aka haek la na hnukbang rhoek te ka hloep dae coeng thai pawh,” a ti nah.
41 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
Te dongah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Aka tangnahmueh neh pamdah cadil aw, nangmih taengah mevaeng hil nim ka om vetih nangmih te ka yaknaem ve? Na capa te he la han thak,” a ti nah.
42 Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
A taengla ham paan vaengah camoe te rhaithae loh a voeih dongah thuen pueng. Tedae Jesuh loh mueihla thae te a ho daengah, camoe te hoeih tih a napa taengla a mael.
43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
Te dongah Pathen kah a lennah soah boeih let uh tih, a hnukbang rhoek taengkah a thui neh a saii boeih soah boeih a ngaihmang uh.
44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
Te vaengah, “He kah ol he na hna ah namamih loh dueh uh. Hlang capa tah hlang kut ah voeih ham cai coeng,” a ti nah.
45 But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
Tedae he olthui he a mangvawt uh. Te te a hmuhming pawt ham ni amih ham a phah la om coeng. Te dongah he olthui he amah dawt ham a rhih uh.
46 Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
Tedae amamih khuiah ulae tanglue la aka om eh tila amamih khuiah poeknah a kun pah.
47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
Jesuh loh amih thinko poeknah te a hmuh dongah camoe a loh tih amah taengah a pai sak.
48 And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
Te vaengah, “He camoe he ka ming neh aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Ka tueih aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Nangmih boeih lakli ah a diknoi la kho aka sa tah tanglue la om ni,” a ti nah.
49 “Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Johan loh a doo tih, “Boeipa, nang ming neh rhaithae aka haek hlang pakhat ka hmuh uh. Tedae mamih taengah a bang pawt dongah anih te ka paa sak uh,” a ti nah.
50 “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Paa sak uh boeh, nangmih kah a kingkalh la aka om pawt te tah nangmih ham ni a om,” a ti nah.
51 As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
A lueinah khohnin te a paan tom coeng dongah Jesuh tah Jerusalem la caeh ham a maelhmai a hooi.
52 He sent messengers on ahead, who went into a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
Te dongah puencawn rhoek te a hmai ah a tueih. Te vaengah cet uh tih Jesuh ham aka rhuengphong la Samaria kho khuila kun uh.
53 But the people there refused to welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
Tedae Jerusalem la cet tih a maelhmai tueng ham a om dongah anih te doe uh pawh.
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
A hnukbang James neh Johan loh a hmuh rhoi vaengah, “Boeipa, vaan lamkah hmai suntlak sak ham neh amih hlawp sak ham khue na ngaih a?” a ti nah rhoi.
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
A mael thil tih amih rhoi te a ho.
56 And He and His disciples went on to another village.
Te dongah kho tloe la vik cet uh.
57 As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
Long ah a caeh uh vaengah hlang pakhat loh, “Mela na caeh akhaw nang kam vai ni,” a ti nah.
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Metang loh a khui, vaan kah vaa long khaw bu a khuehuh. Tedae hlang capa tah lu a tloeng nah khaw khueh pawh,” a ti nah.
59 Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Te phoeiah a tloe taengah, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah. Tedae, te long te, “Boeipa, a pa up ham lamhma la kai n'caeh sak mai,” a ti nah.
60 But Jesus told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead. You, however, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
Tedae anih te, “Aka duek rhoek up ham aka duek rhoek te hlah pah. Tedae nang tah cet lamtah Pathen kah ram te doek ngawn,” a ti nah.
61 Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to my family.”
Te phoeiah pakhat long khaw, “Nang kam vai van ni Boeipa, tedae kai tah ka im kah rhoek te lamhma la m'phih sak dae,” a ti nah.
62 Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Laithol cung te kut a tloeng thil tih a hnuk la aka dan pawt ni Pathen kah ram ham aka ting la a om,” a ti nah.
