Luke 12
1 In the meantime, myriads of the multitude having gathered together, So that they trode on one another, He began to speak to His disciples first; Take heed unto yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Khyang kdäm he ngleh kyu u lü, ami ngbum law üng, Jesuh naw, axüisaw he üng, “Pharise hea nghen cäei na ua.
2 But there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed: and concealed, that shall not be made known.
“Ä ngdang khaia thup avan ngdang lü, ä ngsing khaia mjih avan ngphyeh khai.
3 Therefore so many things as you spoke in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and whatsoever you spoke in the ear in the secret chambers shall be proclaimed upon 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 unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things, having nothing more to do.
“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 will show you whom you must fear: Fear him, who after he kills has power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (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 five sparrows sold for two pennies? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
“Khaca mhma peni tangka nghngiha am jawi khawiki he aw? Acuna khaca matca pi Pamhnam naw am mhnih khawi naw.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are more important than many sparrows.
“Nami lusam pi täh bäiha kyaki. Khaca khawjaha pi nami küi bawki ni, am kyü ua.
8 But I say unto you, that every one who may confess me before the people, the Son of man will also confess him 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 the one denying me before the people will 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 every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him having blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
“Acunüng, khyanga Capa pyetseki avan cun, ami pyetsenak mhläta kya khai; cunsepi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pyetseki cun, mhläta am kya.
11 But when they may carry you into the synagogues, and tribunals, and authorities; do not be solicitous as to what you may apologize, or what you may say:
“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 Spirit will teach you in that hour the things which it behooveth you to speak.
acuna kcün üng nami pyen vai cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ning jah mthehei law khai,” a ti.
13 And a certain one from the multitude said to Him, Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide 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 to him; Man, who established me judge or a divider over you?
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nghngicim nangmia khana u naw ngthumkhya khai la khawh yet khaia ana mcawn ni?” a ti.
15 And He said to them, See, and beware of all covetousness: because his life is not in that which aboundeth to any one, from those things belonging to him.
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 He spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man was very productive:
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami veia msuimcäpnak pyen lü, “Bawimangki mat, a khaw daw se, eiawk da na leng lengki naw,
17 and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where I shall store my fruits?
ngaikyu lü, ‘Hawkba ni ka ti kawm? Eiawk taknak vai am ta veng’ a ti.
18 And he said, I will do this: I will take down my barns, and build greater, and there I will gather all my fruits 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 will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
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 to him, Thou fool, this night they are demanding thy soul from thee; and to whom shall those things which thou hast prepared, belong?
“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 every one laying up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God.
“Amäta hama khawhthem mcun lü, Pamhnam üng am bawimangki he cun, acuna mäih lawki ni,” a ti.
22 And He spoke to His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul, what you may eat; nor for your body, what you may 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 soul is more than food, and the body more than raiment.
“Eia kthaka ta xünnak kyäp bawki ni, suisaka kthaka ta pumsa kyäp bawki ni.
24 Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?
“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 one of you being solicitous is able to add one moment to his existence?
“Nangmi üng u naw a mlung bawngkhasak lü a xünnak msaüei thei khai ni?
26 If then you are powerless in the smallest matter, why are you solicitous about other things?
“Ahinca he pi am jah pawh thei u lü, ivaia akcea phäha nami mlung nami bawngkha saki ni?
27 Observe the lilies, how they toil not, neither do they spin: and I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as 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 And if God so clothes the verdure flourishing in the fields to-day, and to-morrow cast into the oven; how much more are you, O ye of little 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 And do not seek what you may eat, and what you may drink, and with what you are clothed;
“Acunakyase, nami ei vai la nami awk vai ä sui ua; ä cäicing ua.
30 for the heathens of the world are seeking after all these things: but your Father knows that you have need 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 Moreover seek His kingdom and these things shall be added unto you.
“Akcüka Pamhnama khaw sui u, acun käna acun he avan ning jah pe khai.
32 Fear not, little flock; because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
“Ka hnukläk toca he aw, ä kyü ua; nami Pa naw khaw aning jah pet vai ngjahlüki ni.
33 Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses that will not get old, and treasure in the heavens which can not be stolen, where the thief does not draw nigh, nor the moth corrupt.
“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 your heart will be.
“Isetiakyaküng, nami khawhthema awmka nami mlung awm theikia kyaki.
35 Let your loins be girted, and your lamps burning;
“Ahmäi apha law üngka vaia ngsuingsa u lü, a na ngcüngcei u lü, nami meiim mdäiei u;
36 and be you like unto men waiting for their lord, when he may rise up from the marriage feast; in order that, coming and knocking, they may open unto him immediately.
“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 servants, whom the lord having come will find watching: truly I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and have them sit down, and having come will serve 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 If at the second, and third, watch he may come, happy are ye.
“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 Know this, that if the landlord knew at what hour the thief cometh, he would not have permitted his house to be broken into.
“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 ready: because at an hour you do not think the Son of man cometh.
“Acunakyase, nangmi pi ana ngtünei u lü awm u, am nami simeia kcün üng khyanga Capa law khai,” a ti.
41 And Peter said to Him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or 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 The Lord said, Who then is the faithful, wise steward, whom the lord will establish over his house-hold, to give them their food 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 Happy is that servant, whom his lord having come shall thus find watching.
“A mahpa naw, a law be üng, acunkba ana pawh se a hmuh lawa m'ya ta ihlawka jekyai khai ni.
44 Truly I say unto you, that he will establish him over all his possessions.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, ani üng a tak avana khana mkhawnga mcawn law khai.
45 But if that servant may say in his heart, my lord delayeth his coming, and may begin to smite the servants and handmaidens, and to eat and drink, and 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 lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not expect, and in an hour in which he does not know, and will cut him off, and will appoint his part with the unbelievers.
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 But that servant knowing the will of his lord, and not preparing or doing according to his will, shall be 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 the one not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. But to every one to whom much is given, much will be required of him: and to whom they commit much, of him they will ask the more.
“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 have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled?
“Khawmdek khana mei däi sak khaia ka lawki, atuh pi acutei vai ngja hlü veng!
50 And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected!
“Cunsepi, baptican mat ka khan vai awm ve, acuna baptican am ka khan hlan üng ka mlung aktäa khuikha ve!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division.
“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 now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided 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 against the son, and the son against the father; and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
“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 And he also spoke to the multitudes, When you may see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, that the rain cometh; and it is so:
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 the south wind is blowing, you say, that it will be hot; and it is so.
“Acunüng, cum khawkhi nami ksing üng, ‘khaw ngling hlü ve’ ti u lü, nami tia kba kya law khawiki.
56 You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the earth and the firmament; and how do you not discern this time?
“Nangmi Hypocrit he naw, khawmdek la khankhawa ngtünawngnak pi nami ksingki naw, ise atuha kcün hin am nami ksing theiki ni?
57 Why do you not judge righteous judgment, even with reference to yourselves?
“Ise angtäia pawh vaia cun namimät naw pi am nami mtaiei theiki ni?
58 For as you go with your adversary to the ruler, give attention on the way that you be reconciled with him; lest he may deliver you to the judge, and the judge shall turn you over to the officer, and the officer will cast you 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 say unto you, You can by no means come out thence, till you have even paid the last mite.
“Ka pyenki, pet vaia ngui am na peta küt üng thawngim üngka naw am na lät khai ni,” a ti.
