Luke 18
1 And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
Acunüng, am pyai u lü, ktaiyü vai, ti ami ksingnak vaia, ami veia, msuimcäpnak am ngthu jah mtheh lü;
2 Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
“Mlüh mata, Pamhnam am kyüh lü, khyang ia am msuikia ngthumkhyaki mat awmki.
3 And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
“Acunüng, acuna mlüh üng hmeinu mat awmki, acun naw, ‘Ka ngcuhpüia veia ngtäi khaia ngthu na mkhya law pea’ ti lü, a law si laih laih.
4 And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
“Acunüng ngthumkhyaki naw khawvei am a ktä te, akäna a mlung k'uma ngaikyu lü, ‘Pamhnam am kyüh lü, khyang ia am msui ni se pi,
5 Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
hina hmeinu naw na mkhuimkha hlü ve, ngthu va mkhya pe vang, am acunüng ta law laih laih lü na mkhuimkha lü, na bawngkha hlüsak ve,’ a ti,” a ti.
6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Am ngtäikia ngthumkhyaki naw a pyen cen ngai süm ua.
7 And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
“A jah jawng'engnaka khyang he naw, amhmüp amthan ngpyang u lü, ami kthäh üng, Pamhnam naw ami ngthu am jah mkhyah pe lü, khawvei jah yawkin khai aw?
8 I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
“Ka ning jah mthehki, akdawa amimia phäh ngthu jah mkhya pe khai. Cunsepi khyanga Capa khawmdek khana a law be üng jumnak hmuh khai aw?” a ti.
9 And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
Acunüng, cingcai säikia ngaikyu lü, khyang he jah hmumsit khawiki he pharise hea veia hina msuimcäpnak a pyen,
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
“Khyang nghngih, Temple na, ktaiyü khaia citki xawi; mat cun Pharisea kya lü, mat cun ngcawnklawka kyaki.
11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
“Pharise cun ngdüi lü, amät däng hinkba ktaiyüki; ‘Pamhnam aw, khyang kce hleihlakkie, am cingcäiki he la, hüipawmki hea kba am ka kya la, hina ngcawnklawka kba pi am ka kyaa phäha na khana jekyai veng.
12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
“Mhmüp khyüh üng nghngih vei buh jeih lü, ka ktaiyü khawiki, ka tak avan xa üng mat ka pe khawiki,’ a ti.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
“Ngcawnklawk cun a thuknak üngka naw ngdüi lü, khana pi ä hang mdei ngawn lü, ‘Pamhnam aw, kei khyangka ni, na m'yeneia,’ ti lü, a mkyang kbeiki.
14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
“Ka ning jah mthehki, Pharise am ni lü ngcawnklawk cun mhlätnak am ima cit beki. Amimät ak'hlünga ngai kyuki he cun hnem u lü, akhnema awmki he jah mhlünmtaia kya khai,” a ti.
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
Khyang he naw Jesuha veia, ami ca he ami khana a kut a mtaih vaia jah lawpüi u se, axüisaw he naw hmu ü lü, ami jah na ksenak.
16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Cunsepi, Jesuh naw jah khüki naw, “Anghmawca he ka veia law u se, ä jah mah u; Pamhnama khaw cun hina mäihea ham ni.
17 Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, upi, Pamhnama khaw hnasenca kba am dokhameiki cun, acuia am lut khai ni,” a ti.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, Judah hea ngvaipa mat naw Jesuh üng, “Saja kdaw aw, anglät xünnak ka yahnak thei vaia i ka pawh khai?” ti lü, a kthäh. (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Ivai akdaw, na na ti naki ni? Mhnam dänga thea u am daw.
20 Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
“Ngthupet he cun na jah ksingki, ‘Khyanga khyuca ä na katnak vai, khyang ä na hnim vai, ä na m'yuk vai, hleihlaknak am khyang ä na kpuk vai, na nu la na pa na jah mhlünmtai vai,’ tie cen,” a ti.
21 Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
Acunüng, acuna khyang naw, “Acun he cun ka nghmawca üng tün lü ka jah läk päng ni,” a ti.
22 Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Jesuh naw ngja lü, “Atuh mat na pawh vai ve ham ve, na tak avan jawi lü, m'yenkseki he üng jah yeta, acunüng khankhawa khawh na ta khai; acun käna law lü, na läk lawa,” a ti.
23 He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
Acuna khyang naw ngja lü, aktäa, bawimangkia kyase a mlung na leng lengki.
24 And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
Acunüng Jesuh naw a mlung naki ti hmu lü, “Khawh da naki he, Pamhnama khaw ami luh vai aktäa khak ve,
25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
bawimangki Pamhnama khawa a lua kthaka ta, sanghnguksaü mpyüma nghnga k'uma a luh vai jäi bawk ve,” a ti.
26 And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
Acuna ngthu ngjaki he naw, “Acunüng, u küikyana kya thei khai aw?” ami ti.
27 He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
Jesuh naw, “Khyanga am a mkhüt, Mhnam naw mkhütki,” a ti.
28 Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
Pita naw, “Tenga, keimi, kami imlo jah yawk hüt u lü, kami ning läk lawki,” ti se,
29 Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki upi, Pamhnama khawa phäha, a ima pi kyase, a khyua pi kyase, a bena hea pi kyase, a nupaa pi kyase, a ca hea pi kyase jah yawkki cun,
31 Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw xaleinghngih he akcea jah khü lü, “Ngai u! Jerusalema mi cit khai, sahma hea yuk avan khyanga Capa üng kümkawi law khai.
32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
“Khyangmjükcea kut üng msuma kya khai, yaiha pawh khai he, ngkekhyakei sak khai he, ami mci am msawh khai he;
33 And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
kpai u lü hnim khai he; acunüng amhmüp thum üng thihnak üngka naw tho law be khai,” a ti.
34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
Acunüng, acuna ngthu axüisaw he naw asuilam am ksing u; acuna ngthu cun am ami ksing vaia mjiha kyase, Jesuh naw i pyenki tia pi am ksing u.
35 Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, Jerikho a pha law hlü üng, amik müki mat, lam peia kthähei lü ana ngawki.
36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
Acun naw khyang he lam üng ami ceh ngja lü, “I ni” ti lü jah kthäh se,
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
amimi naw, Nazaret Jesuh a ceha mawng, ami mtheh.
38 And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
Acunüng, amikmü naw ngpyang lü, “Davita Capa Jesuh aw! na m'yeneia,” a ti.
39 And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
Acunüng, maki he naw am a khihkheh vaia ami mtheh; cunsepi amikmü naw, “Davita Capa, na m'yeneia,” ti lü, ngpyang law ksehlenki.
40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ngdüi lü, a veia ami lawpüi vaia jah mtheh se a pei a pha law üng,
41 Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
Jesuh naw, “Na hama i ka pawh vai na ngaiki?” ti lü a kthäh. Acunüng amikmü naw, “Saja aw, hmuh thei vai ngaih veng,” a ti.
42 And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Jesuh naw, “Hmua! na jumnak naw ning daw sak be ve,” a ti.
43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
Acunüng angxita, hmu law be thei lü, Pamhnam mküimto lü Jesuh läki; acunüng, khyang avan naw hmu u lü, Pamhnam mküimtoki he.
