Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, in His being in a certain place praying, as He ceased, a certain one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.”
Mhmüp mat üng Jesuh ktaiyü se, a ktaiyü khap üng axüisaw mat naw, “Bawipa aw, Johan naw ktaiyünak axüisaw he üng a jah mtheia kba jah mtheia,” a ti.
2 And He said to them, “When you may pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on earth;
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami ktaiyü üng hinkba ti ua, ‘Kami Pa, Na ngming ngcim leisawngnak am ve se. Na khaw pha law se.
3 be giving us daily our appointed bread;
Amhmüp tä kami ei khyawh buh jah pe.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we also ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and may You not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one].”
Jah katnaki kami mhlät khawia kba, nang naw pi kami katnak he jah mhläta. Hlawhlepnaka am jah cehsak kaw pi,” a ti.
5 And He said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go on to him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üng mat naw, mthan nglunga a püia veia cit lü, ‘Ka püi aw, muk kthum na kpu lawa;
6 seeing a friend of mine came out of the way to me, and I have not what I will set before him,
Ka khin law ve, mbei vai i am ta veng’ a ti üng;
7 and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to you.
im k'um üngka naw, ‘Ä na kpyaneia; ksaw khai päng veng, ka ca he pi ihnak üng ip päng ve u; tho law lü am ning pe law hlü thei veng’ ti lü, a msang te,
8 I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his persistence, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs;
Ka ning jah mthehki, a püia akya aphäha, tho law lü am ava pete, ä khyakei lü a kthähei nua phäha tho law lü, a ngaih jah pe khai.
9 and I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;
“Acunakyase, ka ning jah mthehki, kthäh ua, acunüng nami yah khai; sui ua, acunüng nami hmu khai; khawk ua, acunüng ksawh ning jah mhmawn pe khai he.
10 for everyone who is asking receives; and he who is seeking finds; and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
“Upi, kthähki avan naw yah khawiki, upi suiki naw hmu khawiki, upi khawki am ksawh mhmawn pe khai he.
11 And of which of you—the father—[if] the son will ask [for] a loaf, will present to him a stone? And [if] a fish, instead of a fish, will present to him a serpent?
“Nangmi üngka pa, a ca naw muk kthäh se, u naw lung pe khai aw? Nga kthäh se, u naw ngaa nghnün üng kphyu pe khai aw?
12 And [if] he may ask [for] an egg, will present to him a scorpion?
“Acunüng aiktui kthäh se, u naw jawngk’ai pe khai aw?
13 If, then, you, being evil, have known to be giving good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”
“Nangmi khyang kse he naw pi nami ca üng akdaw pet vai nami ksing üng, nami Pa khankhawa ka naw, kthähki avan üng Ngmüimkhya Ngcim aktäa pe hlü ve,” a ti.
14 And He was casting forth a demon, and it was mute, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the mute man spoke, and the multitudes wondered,
Acunüng, Jesuh naw khawyai am ngthuhei theiki mat a ktäm. Acunüng khawyai a kco law la ä ngthuhei theikia khyang cun ngthuhei law be thei se khyang he aktäa cäicah lawki he.
15 and certain of them said, “By Beelzebul, ruler of the demons, He casts forth the demons”;
Khyang avang he naw, “Khawyai mkhawng Beelzebula johit am ni khawyai he a jah ktäm,” ami ti.
16 and others, tempting, were asking [for] a sign out of Heaven from Him.
Avang naw ami mhnüteinaka, khan üngka ti ksingnak vai müncankse kthähki he.
17 And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house falls;
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami ngaihkyunak jah ksing lü, “Ia pung pi amimät ngcawhki he cun pyeh khawiki he ni; khuiim mat üngka he pi amimät ngcawhki he cun khyük khawiki he ni.
18 and if Satan was also divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? For you say by Beelzebul is My casting forth the demons,
“Khawyama khaw pi amimät ami ngtuk üng ihawkba a khaw khäng khai ni? Beelzebula a peta johit am khawyai he jah ksätki nami tiki ni.
19 but if I, by Beelzebul, cast forth the demons—your sons, by whom do they cast forth? Because of this they will be your judges;
“Acukba ka jah ksätkia akya üng, ihawkba nami hnukläk he naw khawyai jah ksätkie ni? Nami mäta hnukläk he naw nami hleinak mdan ve u.
20 but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then the Kingdom of God came unaware on you.
“Cunsepi, kei naw Pamhnama johit am khawyai he jah ktäm khawikia ka kya üng, Pamhnama khaw nami veia pha law pängki.
21 When the strong man may keep his hall armed, his goods are in peace;
“Khyang kyan naw likcim kpawmei lü a im a ngänga küt üng, a khawhthem mä lü awm khawiki;
22 but when the stronger than he, having come on [him], may overcome him, he takes away his whole armor in which he had trusted, and he distributes his spoils;
“Cunsepi amäta kyan bawki naw tu law lü, a näng law üng, a üpnaka likcim he jah yut lü, a khawhthem lo lü, jah yet hü khai.
23 he who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me scatters.
“Acunakyase, upi ka hlawnga am awmki cun, ka yea kyaki; upi am na mkhämpüiki cun kthehkia kyaki.
24 When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it walks through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came forth;
“Acunüng, khawyai khyanga k'um üngka naw a luh law üng, a xüieinak vai sui hü lü, tuia am a awmnak hnünea ngvak hü khawiki; acunüng, xüieinak vai am hmu lü, ‘Ka luh lawnaka ima nghlat be vang’ ti lü,
25 and having come, it finds [it] swept and adorned;
ava pha be üng ana phekphaih u lü a na dawkya sak u se a hmuh.
26 then it goes, and takes to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becomes worse than the first.”
“Acun la va cit be lü, amäta pi se bawki khawyai kce khyüh jah lawpüi se, acunüng lut u lü awmki he, acuna khyanga awm law vai cun akma a na awm khawia pi ksehlen bawki,” a ti.
27 And it came to pass, in His saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to Him, “Blessed the womb that carried You, and the breasts that You sucked!”
Acukba ngthu ana pyen k'um üng, khyang hea ksunga nghnumi mat ngpyang law lü, a veia, “Ning pawi nakia pum la ning tukia cih ta a jo sen ve,” a ti.
28 And He said, “Indeed, rather, blessed those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!”
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna kthaka ta, Pamhnama ngthu ngai lü acuna kba awmki he, ami jo sen bawk ve,” a ti.
29 And the multitudes crowding together on Him, He began to say, “This generation is evil, it seeks after a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
Acunüng, khyang he a veia ami ngbum law üng, Jesuh naw, “Atuh ngsawn he hin se ve u; müncankse suiki he, cunsepi, Jonaha müncankse dänga thea msingnak ä jah pet vai.
30 for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
“Jonah Ninevih khyang hea msingnaka a kyaa kba, khyanga Capa pi atuh khyang hea hama msingnaka kya khai.
31 A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, [One] greater than Solomon [is] here!
“Sheba sangpuxangnu, Solamona themnak ngaiei khaia athuknak üngka naw lawkia kyase, ngthumkhyanaka mhmüp üng, atuh ngsawn hea veia tho law ha lü jah mkat law khai. Ngai u Solamona kthaka kyäp bawki hia awm ve.
32 Men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they converted at the proclamation of Jonah; and behold, [One] greater than Jonah [is] here!
“Ninevih khyang he, Jonaha ngthu pyena phäha ngjutki hea kyase, ngthumkhyanaka mhmüp üng, atuh ngsawn hea veia ngdüi law hnga u lü, jah mkat law khai he; ngai u, Jonaha kthaka kyäp bawki hia awm ve.
33 And no one having lighted a lamp, puts [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lampstand, that those coming in may behold the light.
“U naw meiim mdäi lü am thup khawi u, cäa k'umapi am thup khawi u, lutki he naw ami hmuh vaia angdangnak üng ni ami tak khawi.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye, when then your eye may be simple, your whole body is also lightened; and when it may be evil, your body is also darkened;
“Pumsa meiim cun mika kyaki. Acunakyase na mik avai üng na pumsa avan vai bäihki. Cunsepi, na mik a pyeh üng na pumsa avan nghmüpki.
35 take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in you is darkness;
“Acunakyase, akvai nami k'uma awmki, am a nghmüp vaia cäi na u.
36 if then your whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole will be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give you light.”
“Acunüng na pumsa ä nghmüp lü avan a vai üng, meiim naw aktäa a kcäiha kba, na pumsa vai bäih khai,” a ti.
37 And in [His] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking Him that He might dine with him, and having gone in, He reclined,
Jesuh ana ngthuhei k'um üng Pharise mat naw buh ei khaia khü se cit lü buh eiki.
38 and the Pharisee having seen, wondered that He did not first immerse Himself before the early meal.
Acunüng a kut am mthih lü buh ei se a hmuh üng, Pharise aktäa cäiki.
39 And the LORD said to him, “Now you, the Pharisees, make the outside of the cup and of the plate clean, but your inward part is full of robbery and wickedness.
Acunüng Bawipa naw, “Nangmi Pharise he khawt la kbe akpung lama nami mthi khawiki; cunsepi nami mlungmthin k'uma setnak la katnak am nami beki.
40 Unthinking [ones]! Did He who made the outside not also make the inside?
“Khyang k'ang he aw! Akpung pi pyang lü ak’um pi pyangki cun Pamhnam am niki aw?
41 But what you have given [as] alms, and behold, all things are clean to you.
“Acunakyase, nami khawt la nami kbe üng awmki m'yenkseki he üng jah pe ua. Acunüng, ahmäi nami hama ngcim hei law khai ni.
42 But woe to you, the Pharisees, because you tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and you pass by the judgment and the love of God; these things [you] should do, and those not to be neglecting.
“Nangmi Pharise he, nami jo se ve! Kcingyüt paibänge la khuhlip kce he pi xa üng mat pet vaia nami khüiki. Cunsepi, hmankanak la Pamhnam jawng'engnak am nami cäi naki. Ahin he va jah pawh ma u lü akce he pi nami jah pawh vai sü.
43 Woe to you, the Pharisees, because you love the first seats in the synagogues and the salutations in the marketplaces.
“Nangmi Pharise he nami jo se ve, Sinakoka ngawhnak akdaw säih la jawihtuknaka nghnukset kyu nami jawng naki.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.”
“Nami jo se ve, ng’uhnün tia ä ngsing se, khyang he naw ä ksing u lü, a khana ami ceh hünak am nami tängki,” a ti.
45 And one of the lawyers answering, says to Him, “Teacher, saying these things, You also insult us”;
Acunüng, thum ksingki mat naw, “Saja aw, hina ngthu na pyen hin keimi pi na jah ksenaki ni” ti lü a msang.
46 and He said, “And to you, the lawyers, woe! Because you burden men with burdens [too] grievous to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Thumksing he aw, nangmi pi nami jo se ve! Phüi kse khyanga khana nami mtaihki, namimät naw nami kutmdawng am pi am nami hnet hlüki.
47 Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
“Nami jo se ve! nami pupa he naw ami hnim, sahma hea mkhya im nami saki.
48 Then you testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs;
“Acunakyase, nami pupa hea ami bilawh cun jah ksingpüi u lü, nami jah ngaisimpüiki ni; amimi naw hnim u se, nangmi naw ami mkhya ime nami jah saki.
49 because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,
“Acunakyase, Pamhnama ksingnak naw pi pyen lü, ‘Sahma he la ngsä he jah tüih pe ni se, avang jah mkhuimkha u lü, jah hnim khai he,’
50 that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation—
acunakyase, khawmdeka ngtüi üng tün lü, ngsawikia sahma hea thisen,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.
Abela thisen üngka naw tün lü, Temple la kphyawnkunga nglaka ami hnim Zakhariha thisen naw hina ngsawn hea phu jah kthäh be khai. Ä, akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, acun naw hina ngsawn hea phu jah kthäh be khai.
52 Woe to you, the lawyers, because you took away the key of the knowledge; you yourselves did not enter; and you hindered those coming in.”
“Thumksing he, ksingnaka imksawh mhmawnak tawh nami thupkia kyase nami jo se ve. Namimät pi am lut u lü lut hlüki he pi nami jah mkhyawhki,” a ti.
53 And in His speaking these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press Him to speak about many things,
Jesuh naw acuna hmün a cehtak üng thumksing he la Pharise he naw ami mkateinak vaia,
54 laying wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
a pyen law msawk ami man hlüa phäha, ngäng u lü ang'enga ahmäi hmäi ami kthäh.
