Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
Sabbath mhmüp üng Pharise mata ima buh ei khaia cit se, ami mcih.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Acunüng, a ma a kutkhaw ngphyüngki Jesuha veia law se,
3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Jesuh naw thumksing he la Pharise he jah kthäh lü, “Sabbath mhmüp üng m’yai be vai ngkawiki aw?” a ti.
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Acunüng am ngthuhei u lü awm u se, Jesuh naw, am phetki cun khü lü, m’yai beki naw, a tüih be.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üng u naw, a ca pi kyase, a sea pi kyase, sabbath mhmüp üng khui uk'uma kya se angxita am lo be khai aw?” ti lü a jah msang.
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Acunüng, acuna ngthu cun am msang thei u lü awmki he.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,
Acunüng, khin he naw ngawhnak akdaw ami xüei khawi jah hmu lü, msuimcäpnak jah mthehki naw,
8 When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;
“Khyang naw cambumnaka aning khüei üng, akyäpnak säiha ä na ngawh vai, nanga kthaka kyäp bawki khina se,
9 And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
“Acunüng, ning khüeiki naw, na veia law lü, ‘Hina khyang am ngawhnak mkena’ ti se, acunüng, ngkekhyakeinak am ahnemnak säiha na ngpyawt khai.
10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you.
“Ami ning khuei üng am adawnak säiha na ngawh vai, acunüng, ning khüeiki naw na veia law lü, ‘Ka püi aw, akyäpnak bawka va ngawa’ ning ti na se, acunüng, na buheipüi hea hmuha mhlünmtaia na kya khai.
11 For whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Aktäa hlüng khaia ngai kyuki avan hnem lü, hnem khaia ngai kyuki avan mhlünmtaia kya khai,” a ti.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw amät Khüeiki üng pi, “Nang naw mhmüp eia pi kyase, müeia pi kyase pawh lü, khyang na khüei üng, na püi he, na bena he, na paca he, bawimangkia na impei locenge ä na jah khuei vai; amimi naw pi ning khüei be u se, ngkhengnak na yah msawk khai ni.
13 But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
“Acunakyase, buh na pawh üng, m'yenkseki he, am kümkawiki he, akxoe, amikmüe na jah khüei vai.
14 And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
“Acukba na jah khüei üng na jo sen khai. Isetiakyaküng, acun he naw ä ning thung be theiki hea kyase, khyang kdawe ami thawh law bea mhmüp üng Pamhnam naw ning pe be khai,” a ti.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Acunüng, a buh eipüi mat naw acuna ngthu cun ngja lü, a veia, “Pamhnama khawa buh ei khai he ta ami jo sen ve,” a ti.
16 Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Acunüng, Jesuh naw mtheh lü, “Khyang mat naw, müei akyäpa pawh lü, khyang khawjah a jah khüei.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
“Buh ei kcün üng a jah khüeia khyang he cun, ‘law u, ahmäi ngpäng ve’ ti lü a m'ya a tüih.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray you have me excused.
“Acunüng, ami van naw atänga lätnak sui u lü, akma säih naw a veia, ‘Khaw kheih ni se, teng khaia cit hlü veng na bä ni na mhläta’ a ti.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray you have me excused.
“Acunüng, akce mat naw, ‘Se sui xa kheih ni se, adaw aset ka teng khaia cit hlü veng na bä ni na mhläta’ a ti.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
“Acunüng akce be tü naw, ‘Khyumah ni se am law hlü thei veng’ a ti.
21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
“Acunüng m'ya naw, a mahpaa veia acuna ngthu cun va mtheh se, a mlung thüi lü a m'ya üng, ‘angxita ktawiha, mlüh ksung, lam avana cit lü, pyenksekie, am kümkawiki he, akxoe la, amikmüe la a khaw kse he jah lawpüia,’ a ti.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.
“Acunüng a m'ya naw, ‘Saja aw, na na mtheha kba ka pawh päng teki khuiim ngsawng lü, kpawihei laih laih ve’ a ti.
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
“Acunüng, a bawipa naw, a m'ya üng, ‘angxita ktawiha, khaw kpung, lamnu, lamkse avana cit lü, ka ima benak vaia, jah va ling na.
24 For I say to you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
“Ka ning mthehki, ka jah khüeia khyang he mat naw pi ka buh pawh am ei khai he a ti’ ti lü,” a jah mtheh.
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
Acunüng, khyang khawjah naw a veia läk u se, ami veia nghlat lü,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
“Upi, ka veia lawki naw a nu la a paa pi kyase, a khyuca hea pi kyase, a hnunpüi kphyaibee la, amäta pi kyase a jawngnaka kthaka kei am ana jawngnak üng, ka xüisawa am kya thei khai.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
“Upi, amäta kutlamktung kawt lü am na läk lawki cun ka xüisawa am kya thei khai.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
“Nangmi üngka mat naw, imnu sa khaia ngtünki naw, a saknak vai ngui ‘khäk khai aw, am khäk khai aw’ ti akcüka ngaw lü am ngaikyu khai aw.
29 Lest haply, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
“Acukba am akya üngta ktungthing jah nglin päng lü am na kpäng hmuki he naw ning yaihei khai he ni.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
‘Hina khyang naw, imnu ngtün na lü am mkhüt ve’ tia ni kse na khai he.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
“Acunüng, sangpuxang u naw sangpuhxang akce tu khaia a bü üng akcüka ngaw lü, khyang tawng nghngih am amät tu khaia lawki cun, khyang tawng at am mkhüt vai la am mkhüt vai ä ngai kyu khai aw?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
“Am acunüng, sangpuxang kce am a pha law hlan üng, ng’yäpnaka ngthu kthäh khaia ngsä tüi khai.
33 So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
“Acukba bäa, nangmi üngka upi, a tak naküt am ceh taki cun ka xüisawa am kya thei.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be seasoned?
Mci hin dawki ni, cunsepi a paih käna i am mtui be thei vai aw?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
“Mdeka hama am daw ngsawnglinaka hama pi am daw, amdanga tawn khawiki he. Upi a ngjaknak vaia a nghnga awmki naw ngja se” a ti.
