Luke 11
1 It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also 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 So he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami ktaiyü üng hinkba ti ua, ‘Kami Pa, Na ngming ngcim leisawngnak am ve se. Na khaw pha law se.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Amhmüp tä kami ei khyawh buh jah pe.
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
Jah katnaki kami mhlät khawia kba, nang naw pi kami katnak he jah mhläta. Hlawhlepnaka am jah cehsak kaw pi,” a ti.
5 He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üng mat naw, mthan nglunga a püia veia cit lü, ‘Ka püi aw, muk kthum na kpu lawa;
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'
Ka khin law ve, mbei vai i am ta veng’ a ti üng;
7 and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it 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 tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and 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 "I tell 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 asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
“Upi, kthähki avan naw yah khawiki, upi suiki naw hmu khawiki, upi khawki am ksawh mhmawn pe khai he.
11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
“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 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
“Acunüng aiktui kthäh se, u naw jawngk’ai pe khai aw?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask 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 He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.
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 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."
Khyang avang he naw, “Khawyai mkhawng Beelzebula johit am ni khawyai he a jah ktäm,” ami ti.
16 Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Avang naw ami mhnüteinaka, khan üngka ti ksingnak vai müncankse kthähki he.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself 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 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
“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 cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they 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 I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to 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, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
“Khyang kyan naw likcim kpawmei lü a im a ngänga küt üng, a khawhthem mä lü awm khawiki;
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides up his plunder.
“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 that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
“Acunakyase, upi ka hlawnga am awmki cun, ka yea kyaki; upi am na mkhämpüiki cun kthehkia kyaki.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the person, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'
“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 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
ava pha be üng ana phekphaih u lü a na dawkya sak u se a hmuh.
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person 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 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you."
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 But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna kthaka ta, Pamhnama ngthu ngai lü acuna kba awmki he, ami jo sen bawk ve,” a ti.
29 When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
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 even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also 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 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the people of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, 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 The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, 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 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see 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. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
“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 Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
“Acunakyase, akvai nami k'uma awmki, am a nghmüp vaia cäi na u.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives 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 Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
Jesuh ana ngthuhei k'um üng Pharise mat naw buh ei khaia khü se cit lü buh eiki.
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
Acunüng a kut am mthih lü buh ei se a hmuh üng, Pharise aktäa cäiki.
39 The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion 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 You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
“Khyang k'ang he aw! Akpung pi pyang lü ak’um pi pyangki cun Pamhnam am niki aw?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be 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 Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
“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 Pharisees. For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings 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. For you are like hidden graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it."
“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 One of the Law scholars answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
Acunüng, thum ksingki mat naw, “Saja aw, hina ngthu na pyen hin keimi pi na jah ksenaki ni” ti lü a msang.
46 He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
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. For 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 So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they 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 Therefore 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, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
acunakyase, khawmdeka ngtüi üng tün lü, ngsawikia sahma hea thisen,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of 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 Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
“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 when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak about many things;
Jesuh naw acuna hmün a cehtak üng thumksing he la Pharise he naw ami mkateinak vaia,
54 lying in wait for him, seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
a pyen law msawk ami man hlüa phäha, ngäng u lü ang'enga ahmäi hmäi ami kthäh.
