Luke 12
1 In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
Khyang kdäm he ngleh kyu u lü, ami ngbum law üng, Jesuh naw, axüisaw he üng, “Pharise hea nghen cäei na ua.
2 For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
“Ä ngdang khaia thup avan ngdang lü, ä ngsing khaia mjih avan ngphyeh khai.
3 Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
“Acunakyase, nghmüp üng nami pyen avan avainaka ngjaka kya khai; asithawta nami pyen avan im khana sang khai he.
4 And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
“Ka püi he aw, ning jah mtheh veng, ‘Pumsa hnim lü, acun käna akce i am pawh theiki he ä jah kyüh ua.
5 But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
“Cunsepi, nami kyüh vai ta; Aning jah hnim päng üng, mulai mei üng ning jah tawn thei khai Mhnam kyüh ua. Ka ning jah mthehki ani cen kyüh ua. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
“Khaca mhma peni tangka nghngiha am jawi khawiki he aw? Acuna khaca matca pi Pamhnam naw am mhnih khawi naw.
7 Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
“Nami lusam pi täh bäiha kyaki. Khaca khawjaha pi nami küi bawki ni, am kyü ua.
8 Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
“Acunüng ka ning jah mtheki, khyang hea maa na yungki cun, Pamhnama khankhawngsä hea maa, khyanga Capa naw yung hnga khai.
9 But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
“Cunsepi, khyang hea ma na maki cun, Pamhnama Capa naw Mhnama khankhawngsä hea hmaia ma khai.
10 And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
“Acunüng, khyanga Capa pyetseki avan cun, ami pyetsenak mhläta kya khai; cunsepi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pyetseki cun, mhläta am kya.
11 And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
“Acunüng Sinakok he, bawi he la khaw uki hea veia ami ning jah cehpüi üng ‘ikba ka jah msang khai, i ka pyen khai,’ tia ä nami cäi vai,
12 For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
acuna kcün üng nami pyen vai cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ning jah mthehei law khai,” a ti.
13 And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
Acunüng, khyang hea ksunga mat naw Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, ka hnunpüi he naw khawh ami na ngpaipüi vaia jah mtheha,” a ti.
14 And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nghngicim nangmia khana u naw ngthumkhya khai la khawh yet khaia ana mcawn ni?” a ti.
15 Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
Acunüng ami veia, “Cäiei u lü, mnaiheinak avan üng ngxungei kyu u; ihlawka bawimang u lü pi bawimangnak üng nami xünak am ve,” a ti.
16 And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami veia msuimcäpnak pyen lü, “Bawimangki mat, a khaw daw se, eiawk da na leng lengki naw,
17 Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
ngaikyu lü, ‘Hawkba ni ka ti kawm? Eiawk taknak vai am ta veng’ a ti.
18 And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
Acunüng, ‘Hikba pawh vang; ka khei he jah phye lü, angbaü bawka sa lü, acunüng eiawk he la, ka khawhthem he ka jah ta khai.
19 And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
Acunüng ka ngmüimkhya üng, ‘Ka ngmüimkhya aw, khawkum khawvei khäk khai khawhthem na taki ni; xüiei lü, ei lü aw lü, hlimtui lü awma, ka ti khai,’ tia ngai kyuki.
20 But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
“Cunsepi, Pamhnam naw, ‘Khyang k'ang aw, tuhngawi mthan na ngmüimkhya khyük khaia kyaki; acunakyase, na mcuneia khawhthem u naw ka na khai aw?’ a ti.
21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
“Amäta hama khawhthem mcun lü, Pamhnam üng am bawimangki he cun, acuna mäih lawki ni,” a ti.
22 And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Acunakyase, ka ning jah mtheki, ‘I ka ei khai?’ tia, nami xünnak vai ja, ‘I ka suisa khai?’ tia, nami pumsa phäha nami mlung ä bawngbai sak ua.
23 The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
“Eia kthaka ta xünnak kyäp bawki ni, suisaka kthaka ta pumsa kyäp bawki ni.
24 Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
“Vangak he jah ngai u, cang am saw u, am at u, mcunnak am ta u, khei am ta u; cunsepi, Pamhnam naw jah mcahki, nangmi cun kha hea kthaka ta nami küi bawki ni.
25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
“Nangmi üng u naw a mlung bawngkhasak lü a xünnak msaüei thei khai ni?
26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
“Ahinca he pi am jah pawh thei u lü, ivaia akcea phäha nami mlung nami bawngkha saki ni?
27 Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
“Lili kheipai he cen jah teng ua; khut am pawh u, nghmüi pi am bi u; cunsepi ka ning jah mthehki, Solamon pi a hlüngtainak avan am ngcüngceiei se, hina lili kheipai matca pi am tängeipüi khai ni.
28 If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
“Acunakyase, atuh xüng se, angawia mei üng tawnena khuhlip pi Pamhnam naw a thuihawi sak üng, nangmi cun acuna kthaka pi am ning jah thüihawi sak bawk khai aw. Ihlawka nami jumnak ngceki ni!
29 Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
“Acunakyase, nami ei vai la nami awk vai ä sui ua; ä cäicing ua.
30 For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
“Am jumeiki he naw acuna ngkhaw avan cun sui khawiki he ni; acun nami hlüki ti nami Pa naw ksingki ni.
31 But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
“Akcüka Pamhnama khaw sui u, acun käna acun he avan ning jah pe khai.
32 Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
“Ka hnukläk toca he aw, ä kyü ua; nami Pa naw khaw aning jah pet vai ngjahlüki ni.
33 Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
“Nami ka avan jah jawitu u lü, m'yenkseki he üng jah pe ua; nami mäta suiawi la nami khawhthem ä sui u lü m’yuk’ei naw am a m’yuk thei kca naw pi am a kpyeh thei khankhaw bawimangnak sui ua.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
“Isetiakyaküng, nami khawhthema awmka nami mlung awm theikia kyaki.
35 Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
“Ahmäi apha law üngka vaia ngsuingsa u lü, a na ngcüngcei u lü, nami meiim mdäiei u;
36 And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
“M'ya he naw ami mahpa cambumnak pawi üngka naw law be lü ksaw a khawk law üng ksawh mhmawn ngxit khaia ami na k’äiha kba a na ve ua.
37 Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
“Ami mahpa a law be üng, a na ngäng u se a jah hmuh lawa m'ya he cun ihlawka jekyai khai he ni; akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, a mahpa cun a khyü vawpei lü, buh ei khai hea jah ngawhsak lü, amät naw jah ngäng law khai.
38 And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
“Mthan lunga pi kyase, acun käna pi kyase, ami mahpa naw law lü, acunkba a jah hmuh lawa m'ya he ta, ami jo sen ve.
39 Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
“Cunsepi, hin hin ksing ua, m'yük'eia law vai imah naw a ksing vai sü ta, a im am a phyet vaia ngäng khai sü.
40 Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
“Acunakyase, nangmi pi ana ngtünei u lü awm u, am nami simeia kcün üng khyanga Capa law khai,” a ti.
41 Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
Acunüng Pita naw, “Bawipa aw, hina msuimcäpnak hin, keimi däng üng aw na jah mtheh? Akce hea hama pi kyaki aw? ti se,
42 And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
Bawipa naw, “Khawhthem mceiki, üpnak cang, ngsüm kcangki, a mahpa naw akha law üng ami ei vai pawh khaia, mkhawnga a mcawn vai ta, u ni?
43 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
“A mahpa naw, a law be üng, acunkba ana pawh se a hmuh lawa m'ya ta ihlawka jekyai khai ni.
44 Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, ani üng a tak avana khana mkhawnga mcawn law khai.
45 But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
“Cunsepi, acuna m'ya naw a mlung k'uma, ‘Ka mahpa am law be ng’xit khai’ ti lü, m'yanu, m'yapa he jah na kpai lü, a na ei aw ktat lü, a na awm k'um üng,
46 The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
am a na sümei, am a na ksingeia mhmüp üng a mahpa law be lü, acuna m'ya cun amcäm cäma khyüng lü pyen ä ngjakia hlawnga atänga jah ta hmaih khai.
47 And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
“M'ya, a mahpa a ngaih ksing mah mah lü, a mahpaa ngaiha pi am a na pawhmsahki cun, khawveia kpai khai he.
48 But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
“Cunsepi, a mahpaa ngaih am bilo lü kpaihnak vaia iyaw bilo msawkia m'ya cun ajaw dänga kpai khai he. Upi, akdäm ami peta veia akdäm kthäh be khai he; Upi, akdäm bawk ami peta veia akdäm bawk kthäh be khai he.
49 I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
“Khawmdek khana mei däi sak khaia ka lawki, atuh pi acutei vai ngja hlü veng!
50 Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
“Cunsepi, baptican mat ka khan vai awm ve, acuna baptican am ka khan hlan üng ka mlung aktäa khuikha ve!
51 Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
“Khawmdek khana ng'yäpnak lawpüi khaia ka lawkia nami ngaiki aw? Acukba vaia am law nawng. Ngpainak lawpüi khaia ni ka law ve.
52 For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
“Atuh käna, im mat üng mhma ngpai khai he, kthum naw nghngih hneng law khai, nghngih naw kthum hneng law khai.
53 The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
“Pae naw capa he jah hneng law u se, capa he naw pa he jah hneng law khai he; ami nu he naw ami canu he jah hneng law u se, ami canu he naw ami nu he jah hneng law khai he; ami ni he naw ami pai he jah hneng law u se, ami pai he naw ami ni he jah hneng law khai he,” a ti.
54 Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, khyang hea veia, “Khawnghngi kyak lama khawngmei ngjing se nami hmuh üng, ‘khaw a hlü ve’ ti u lü, nami tia kba kya law khawiki.
55 And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
“Acunüng, cum khawkhi nami ksing üng, ‘khaw ngling hlü ve’ ti u lü, nami tia kba kya law khawiki.
56 Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
“Nangmi Hypocrit he naw, khawmdek la khankhawa ngtünawngnak pi nami ksingki naw, ise atuha kcün hin am nami ksing theiki ni?
57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
“Ise angtäia pawh vaia cun namimät naw pi am nami mtaiei theiki ni?
58 While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
“Acunüng, ning hnengki am ngthumkhyakia veia nani ceh hmai üng, nani ceh lama nani ng’yäpnak vai na sui vai; am acunüng ta ngthumkhyakia veia ning cehpüi se, ngthumkhyaki naw khyang manki am ning man sak se, khyang manki naw thawngim üng ning khyüm khai ni.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
“Ka pyenki, pet vaia ngui am na peta küt üng thawngim üngka naw am na lät khai ni,” a ti.
