Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain place praying, as he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him—Lord! teach us to pray, 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 And he said unto them—Whensoever ye are praying, say—Father! Hallowed be thy name, Come may thy kingdom,
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami ktaiyü üng hinkba ti ua, ‘Kami Pa, Na ngming ngcim leisawngnak am ve se. Na khaw pha law se.
3 Our needful bread, be giving us, day by day;
Amhmüp tä kami ei khyawh buh jah pe.
4 And forgive us our sins, for, even we ourselves, forgive every one indebted to us; And bring us not into temptation.
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 unto them—Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him—Friend! supply me with 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 forasmuch as, a friend of mine, hath come off a journey unto me, and I have not what I can set before him;
Ka khin law ve, mbei vai i am ta veng’ a ti üng;
7 and, he, from within, shall answer, and say—Be not disturbing me, —already, the door hath been fastened, and, my children, with me, are, in bed: I cannot rise and give thee?
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 unto you—Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth.
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, therefore, unto you, say—Be asking, and it shall be given to you, Be seeking, and ye shall find, —Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto 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, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, —and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
“Upi, kthähki avan naw yah khawiki, upi suiki naw hmu khawiki, upi khawki am ksawh mhmawn pe khai he.
11 But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give 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 Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion?
“Acunüng aiktui kthäh se, u naw jawngk’ai pe khai aw?
13 If therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto them that 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 And he was casting out a demon that was dumb; and it came to pass, when the demon went out, the dumb began speaking. And the multitudes marvelled;
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 from among them, said—In Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons;
Khyang avang he naw, “Khawyai mkhawng Beelzebula johit am ni khawyai he a jah ktäm,” ami ti.
16 and, others, putting him to the test, a sign out of heaven, were seeking from him.
Avang naw ami mhnüteinaka, khan üngka ti ksingnak vai müncankse kthähki he.
17 But, he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them—Every kingdom, against itself divided, is laid waste, and, a house, against a house, [divided], falleth;
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, even Satan, against himself hath become divided, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye are saying that, in Beelzebul, am I casting out 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, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall 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, with the finger of God, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless unawares hath come upon you, the kingdom of God.
“Cunsepi, kei naw Pamhnama johit am khawyai he jah ktäm khawikia ka kya üng, Pamhnama khaw nami veia pha law pängki.
21 Whensoever, the mighty one, armed, may be guarding his own dwelling, in peace, are his goods;
“Khyang kyan naw likcim kpawmei lü a im a ngänga küt üng, a khawhthem mä lü awm khawiki;
22 But, whensoever, a mightier than he, shall come upon and vanquish him, his panoply, he taketh away, wherein he was trusting, and, his spoils, he distributeth.
“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; and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
“Acunakyase, upi ka hlawnga am awmki cun, ka yea kyaki; upi am na mkhämpüiki cun kthehkia kyaki.
24 Whensoever, the impure spirit, goeth out from the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest; and, not finding it, [then, ] it saith, I will return unto my house, whence 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 and, coming, findeth it, [empty, ] swept, and adorned.
ava pha be üng ana phekphaih u lü a na dawkya sak u se a hmuh.
26 Then, goeth it, and taketh along with itself, other spirits, more wicked than itself—seven, and, entering in, fixeth its dwelling there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, 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 Now it came to pass, while he was saying these things, that a certain woman out of the multitude, lifting up her voice, said unto him—Happy the womb that bare thee! And the breasts which thou didst suck!
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—Yea rather!—Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe it!
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna kthaka ta, Pamhnama ngthu ngai lü acuna kba awmki he, ami jo sen bawk ve,” a ti.
29 And, as the multitudes were thronging together, he began to be saying—This generation, is, a wicked generation: A sign, it is seeking, and, a sign, shall not be given it, save 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, according as, Jonah, became, unto the Ninevites, a sign, so, shall be, the Son of Man also, unto 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 men of this generation, and will condemn them; because she came out of the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, —and lo! something more than Solomon, 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 rise up, in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it; because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah, —and lo! something more than Jonah, 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, having lighted, a lamp, into a covered place, a putteth it, nor, under the measure; but upon the lampstand, that they who enter 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 thy body, is thine eye: Whensoever, thine eye, may be, single, even the whole of thy body, is, lighted up; but, whensoever it may be, useless, even thy body, is 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 Be looking to it, therefore, lest, the light that is in thee, be, darkness.
“Acunakyase, akvai nami k'uma awmki, am a nghmüp vaia cäi na u.
36 If, therefore, thy whole body, is lighted up, not having any part darkened, the whole, shall be lighted up, as whensoever, the lamp, with its radiance, may be giving thee 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, when he had spoken, a Pharisee was requesting him that he would dine with him; and, entering, he reclined.
Jesuh ana ngthuhei k'um üng Pharise mat naw buh ei khaia khü se cit lü buh eiki.
38 And, the Pharisee, beholding, marvelled that he was not, first, immersed, before the dinner.
Acunüng a kut am mthih lü buh ei se a hmuh üng, Pharise aktäa cäiki.
39 And the Lord said unto him: Now, ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the tray, do make pure; but, your inward part, is full of plunder 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 Simple ones! Did not, he who made the outside, the inside also, make?
“Khyang k'ang he aw! Akpung pi pyang lü ak’um pi pyangki cun Pamhnam am niki aw?
41 Notwithstanding, as to the things within, give alms, and lo! everything, is, pure unto 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 alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every garden herb, and pass by justice, and the love of God. But, these things, it was binding to do, and, those, not to pass by.
“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 Alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places!
“Nangmi Pharise he nami jo se ve, Sinakoka ngawhnak akdaw säih la jawihtuknaka nghnukset kyu nami jawng naki.
44 Alas for you! because ye are as the secret tombs: even the men that are walking above them, know it not.
“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, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult!
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, for you, the lawyers, alas! because ye lade men with burdens hard to be borne, and, yourselves, with one of your fingers, touch not the 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 Alas for you! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slew them!
“Nami jo se ve! nami pupa he naw ami hnim, sahma hea mkhya im nami saki.
48 Hence, witnesses, are ye, and find consenting pleasure in the works of your fathers: because, they, indeed, slew them, and, ye, are building, [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 For this cause, the Wisdom of God hath said—I will send forth, unto them, prophets and apostles, —and, some from among them, will they slay, and, [some] 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 hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from this generation, —
acunakyase, khawmdeka ngtüi üng tün lü, ngsawikia sahma hea thisen,
51 From the blood of Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah who was destroyed betwixt the altar and the house; Yea! I say unto you—It shall be sought out 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 Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye 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, from thence, he came out, the Scribes and the Pharisees began, with vehemence, to be hemming him in, and trying to make him speak off-hand concerning many things, —
Jesuh naw acuna hmün a cehtak üng thumksing he la Pharise he naw ami mkateinak vaia,
54 lying in wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
a pyen law msawk ami man hlüa phäha, ngäng u lü ang'enga ahmäi hmäi ami kthäh.
