Luke 12
1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of 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 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
“Ä ngdang khaia thup avan ngdang lü, ä ngsing khaia mjih avan ngphyeh khai.
3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
“Acunakyase, nghmüp üng nami pyen avan avainaka ngjaka kya khai; asithawta nami pyen avan im khana sang khai he.
4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything 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 to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to 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 assaria? 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 have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
“Nami lusam pi täh bäiha kyaki. Khaca khawjaha pi nami küi bawki ni, am kyü ua.
8 And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
“Acunüng ka ning jah mtheki, khyang hea maa na yungki cun, Pamhnama khankhawngsä hea maa, khyanga Capa naw yung hnga khai.
9 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
“Cunsepi, khyang hea ma na maki cun, Pamhnama Capa naw Mhnama khankhawngsä hea hmaia ma khai.
10 and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
“Acunüng, khyanga Capa pyetseki avan cun, ami pyetsenak mhläta kya khai; cunsepi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pyetseki cun, mhläta am kya.
11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, 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 what [you] should say.”
acuna kcün üng nami pyen vai cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ning jah mthehei law khai,” a ti.
13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
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 set Me a 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, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
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 spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
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 within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
ngaikyu lü, ‘Hawkba ni ka ti kawm? Eiawk taknak vai am ta veng’ a ti.
18 And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
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, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, 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 And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
“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 who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
“Amäta hama khawhthem mcun lü, Pamhnam üng am bawimangki he cun, acuna mäih lawki ni,” a ti.
22 And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the 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 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
“Eia kthaka ta xünnak kyäp bawki ni, suisaka kthaka ta pumsa kyäp bawki ni.
24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
“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 who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
“Nangmi üng u naw a mlung bawngkhasak lü a xünnak msaüei thei khai ni?
26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
“Ahinca he pi am jah pawh thei u lü, ivaia akcea phäha nami mlung nami bawngkha saki ni?
27 Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed 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 the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you 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 you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
“Acunakyase, nami ei vai la nami awk vai ä sui ua; ä cäicing ua.
30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known 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 but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
“Akcüka Pamhnama khaw sui u, acun käna acun he avan ning jah pe khai.
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted 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 goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
“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 also.
“Isetiakyaküng, nami khawhthema awmka nami mlung awm theikia kyaki.
35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
“Ahmäi apha law üngka vaia ngsuingsa u lü, a na ngcüngcei u lü, nami meiim mdäiei u;
36 and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
“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 those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to 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 may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
“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 And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken 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 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
“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 allegory to us, or also 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 said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
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 that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
“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 to you that he will set him over all his goods.
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, ani üng a tak avana khana mkhawnga mcawn law khai.
45 And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, 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 lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
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 servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will 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 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
“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 came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
“Khawmdek khana mei däi sak khaia ka lawki, atuh pi acutei vai ngja hlü veng!
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
“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 came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather 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 there will be from now on five in one house divided—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 a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her 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 said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, 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 a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
“Acunüng, cum khawkhi nami ksing üng, ‘khaw ngling hlü ve’ ti u lü, nami tia kba kya law khawiki.
56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but 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 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
“Ise angtäia pawh vaia cun namimät naw pi am nami mtaiei theiki ni?
58 For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may 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 to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
“Ka pyenki, pet vaia ngui am na peta küt üng thawngim üngka naw am na lät khai ni,” a ti.
