< Luke 12 >

1 Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first—Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.
Bijaat haajaat mina loong lomthok rum taha eno, ejap nakmui nep ih rumta, eno Jisu ih jaakhoh heliphante loong asuh liita, “Naririh et ban sok an Pharisi loong to ih naktoom thet haat han—ngah ih neng lonoi asuh liitang.
2 But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known.
Tumjaat hoppat cho ah erah daapcho ih hoon ah, erah damdoh jaatrep husah tiit loong ah dongjat et ah.
3 Because, as many things as, in the darkness, ye have said, in the light, shall be heard; and, what to the ear ye spake, in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Erah raangtaan ih marah sen ih laamang ni baat han erah rangwuung nah japchaat ah, erah damdoh marah sen ih ngiija nokmong ni hubaat han erah nok rangkhoh nawa ih riingbaat ah.
4 And I say unto you, my friends—Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which they can do.
Ngah ih baat rumhala, nga joonte loong, sen marah ih hansi laklak tek haatte ra lacho theng jaat hoh ethih tumjih takah jen etka.
5 But I will suggest to you, whom ye should fear—Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, —Yea, I say unto you—Him, fear ye. (Geenna g1067)
Ngah ih noisok rumha o ra choojih rah ah: Rangte ra cho an, etek lini, Heh di juuba soolam nah haat wan suh chaan jeela. Nga jeng ah tuungmaang an, esiit heh juuba sen choojih ah! (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not, five sparrows, sold for two farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.
Wosiksak banga rah phaanyi di tanih kasangka? Wosiksak esiit taan uh Rangte ih tabeehaatka.
7 But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
Sen khoroon ah botseh rookwet cho. Erah raangtaan ih nakcho an; sen ah wosiksak hantek thaknang ih uh thaangchaan!
8 And I say unto you—Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;
“Ngah ih amiisak ih baat rumhala, o mina ih noksong dung nah neng ah nga mina et dokbaat rum ah, Mina Sah eh uh Rangte rangsah loong ngathong nah neng suh emamah ih reekoh rum ah.
9 But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God.
Enoothong o mina ih nokwah dung nah thaaju hang, Mina Sah eh uh emamah Rangte rangsah loong ngathong nah thaaju rum ah.
10 And, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall not be forgiven.
“O mina ih Mina Sah ah thetbaat abah ejen biin anaan et ah, enoothong marah ih Esa Chiiala tiit thetbaat ha abah biin anaan tachoka.
11 But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
“Neng ih Jehudi rangsoomnok nah adoleh kobonor nyi hadaang pante loong ngathong nah phate suh siitwan hanbah, sen lapaatja theng senteewah ah mamet pangjih ah adoleh sen tumjih jengjih asuh ah.
12 For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.
Tumeah Esa Chiiala ih erah tokdoh an tumjih jengjih ah heh ih nyoot han.”
13 And one from amongst the multitude said unto him—Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.
Midung ni mih wasiit ih Jisu suh baatta, “Nyootte, seng phoh suh baat uh seng wah ih thiinhaatta nyamka rah toom phe kohang.”
14 But, he, said unto him—Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over you?
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Nga joonwah, ngah suh mih rikri nyia setnyi suh soophoh nyamka ah pheekot theng ih chaan o ih kot kotahang koh?”
15 And he said unto them—Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out of his possessions.
Eno heh ih erah tiit ah loongtang suh wakbaat rumta, “Sen teeteewah ah naririh ih ban sok an sen ah jaatrep doh maamok nyamnyook jan oh; tumeah mina tumthan nyamte wah taat ang abah uh, ami roidong ah heh nyamka nawa ih tajen hoonka.”
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying—A certain rich man’s estate, bare well.
Eno Jisu ih arah tiitthaak tiit ah baat rumta: “Ehak di changteng wah wasiit angta heh di cham seetheng phek hantek angta.
17 And he began to deliberate within himself, saying—What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.
Heh ih thunta, ‘Ngah di cham lomthiin theng tajeeka. Ngah ih tumjih et ang doh se ah?
18 And he said—This, will I do, —I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;
Ngah ih amet ang,’ heh teeteewah suh liita; ‘ngah ih nga pung ah thaak haat angno ena elong we et huk hoon ang, erah doh nga cham nyia jaat hoh hukkhaak loong anep jen lomthiin ang.
19 and will say to my soul—Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink, ] be making merry!
Eno ngah ih nga teewah suh li ang, Khangraangse wah! Andi jaatrep hukkhaak paang rookwih raangtaan ih jeela. Roidong amah ba hanih, jok oh, phak oh, eno roidong doh tenroon ih tong oh!’
20 But God said unto him—Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
Enoothong Rangte ih heh suh liita, ‘Thungko wah an! Niikja an roidong ah ethoon ete; eno nyamka nyi hukkhaak loong ah an raangtaan ih lomthiin hu loong ah o choh theng ah?”
21 [So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards God.]
Eno Jisu ih thoonbaatta, “Marah ih heh nyamka loong taat lomthiin ha rah Rangte jiinko ni heh changteng tah angka.”
22 And he said unto his disciples—For this cause, I say unto you, —Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for [your] body, what ye shall put on;
Eno Jisu ih heliphante loong suh baatta, “Erah raangtaan ih ngah ih baat rumhala ethingtong raangtaan ih phaksat suh nak sootsaam an adoleh sen sak nah kap theng nyuh akhat suh nak sootsaam an.
23 For, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing.
Roidong ah phaksat nang ih uh elongthoon, erah damdi sak ah nyuh akhat nang ih uh elongthoon.
24 Consider well the ravens—That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, —and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?
Wokhah loong ah sokthaak an: neng ih cham uh tawenka adoleh cham uh takhanka; nengdi cham lomthiin theng pung uh tajeeka; neng ah Rangte ih dung ha! Sen ah tang woh nang ih thaangchaan!
25 And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?
Erah suh sootsaam anno amasah taan roiloh ejen tong tam ih an?
26 If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?
Sen ih erah likhiik ehinsah ah lajen phanlan kanbah, jaat hoh raangtaan ih tang tume thaam sootsaam lan?
27 Consider well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you—Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
Sok an woma popoong loong hakla rah ah; neng moot ni uh takaka adoleh neng ih neng raangtaan ih nyuh uh tawaatka. Enoothong ngah ih baat rumhala Solomon luungwang di heh nyamka erah than ang adi botseh uh arah woma popoong loong jaaseela likhiik henyuh hekhat ah tajaaseeka.
28 But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?
Erah woma naam suh nyuh akhat kotte rah ah Rangte, naam loong ah chiinyah bah eje enoothong rangkhah emat eah, we nah matkhaam ah. Erah ang abah heh ih sen suh nyuh akhat tanih jen koran? Sen laalom abah amasah boh ah!
29 Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;
“Erah raangtaan ih sen nak thungjoong an, ejok, ephak mamang ah eah.
30 For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, —but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.
(Tumeah arah mongrep adi Rangte lajatte mina loong ih bah Saarookwih jok aphak ah raang ih ju sootsaamla.) Sen wah ih jat et ha sen suh erah loong ejamjih ih eah.
31 Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, —and, these things, shall be added unto you.
Erah nang ih bah, Rangte heh Hasong raangtaan ih thong sootsaam anbah, eno erah loong abah heh ih laajam kojan.
32 Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth to give you, the kingdom.
“Echo nak ih an, sen saapsah loong ah, tumeah sen Wah eroon ela eno sen suh Hasong ah ekot ehan.
33 Sell your possessions, and give alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, —treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.
Sen hukkhaak loong ah thoontang sang anno erah ngun ah changthih loong suh kokaat an. Sen ih lathet theng ngun khaak ah kap anno rangmong nah nyamte ang raangtaan ih lomthiin an, erah nah nyamka rah babah uh ene tah ih hoonka, tumeah erah ni ehuh tami nopka, erah damdoh ram eh uh taphakka.
34 For, where your treasure is, there, will your heart he also.
Sen tenthun ah marah di sen nyamka ah erah nah ang ah.
35 Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning,
“Banthootho ih tong an tumjih thok ha bah uh, nyuh akhat ban kapcho nyia weetook ban took cho ah,
36 And, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, —that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto him.
laksuh ih neng changte wah kuhoon theng nawa ngaakwang eha ih kaban sok arah likhiik ah. Heh ah wang ano kaasak ah rengdok, erah damdam neng ih kaasak ah laanban daap ruh et ah.
37 Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you—he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto them.
Tumthan tenroonjih ah erah laksuh loong ah neng changte wah ngaakwang tokdi motseng nyi banthootho ih japtup wang ano ah! Ngah ih baat rumhala, heh ih heh samsongnuh ah khookthiin ano, neng ah tongthuk rum ah, eno heh ih ban sok rum ah.
38 And, if, in the second, or if, in the third, watch, he come and find, thus, happy, are, they!
Tumthan tenroonjih ah heh ih neng ah banthootho ih tong rum arah japtup ano ah, mottom di nyia mottom lini taat wang adi nep ah!
39 But, of this, be taking note—Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.
Sen ih jat ehan nok changte ih ehuh wang saapoot ah jatta bah, heh ih ehuh asuh heh nok tajap long thuk thengta.
40 Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of Man cometh!
Erah raang ih, sen uh, banthootho ih tong an, tumeah mina Sah rah uh sen reenah sen ih labantho kan pootdoh mok thok ha.”
41 But Peter said—Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?
Pitar ih liita, “Teesu, erah tiitthaak tiit ah seng raangtaan suh elang tam eah, tama warep mina raangtaan suh baat hu?”
42 And the Lord said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?
Teesu ih ngaakbaatta, “Erah ang abah, laksuh hanpiite nyia maakwah ah o ang ah? Heh changte wah ih mootkaat phanlansiitte o hoon ah erah wah ah laangja, heh nok nep heh suh phanlan siit thuk ah erah damdoh laksuh wahoh loong suh neng chotheng phak asat kot saapoot erah warah ih phanlan ah.
43 Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!
Tumthan tenroon ang ah erah laksuh rah ah, heh changte wah ih nok nah wang adoh heh pakna reeraang ah japtup wang aradoh ah!
44 Of a truth, I say unto you—Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.
Elang eah, ngah ih baat rumhala, changte wah ih heh laksuh asuh jaatrep nyamka ban sok baat ah.
45 But, if that servant should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself drunk,
Enoothong erah laksuh rah ih nga changte wah ngaakwang eliin ela ih li ano heh ih laksuh ehoh loong ah minuh miwah thoontang riimbuh, eno jokjok phakphak ih tong, kham adoh mok eabah,
46 The lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
saasiit changte wah ah heh laksuh ih labansokka nyia lajatka sa doh ngaakwang ah. Eno changte wah ih heh ah jopjop ih dook ano heh jeng lachaatte loong chamtheng adoh cham thuk ah.
47 And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
“Marah laksuh ih heh changte wah ih heh suh tumjih reetheng baat ha ah jatcho di, laban re thang ih tong abah, erah laksuh ah rapne ih chamnaang thuk ah.
48 Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
Enoothong marah laksuh ih heh changte wah ih tumjih jamha erah lajat thang ih thet reela, erah mih asuh amasah ju chamthuk ah. Ehan o suh kota erah jiin nawa ehan ju jam ah; ehan tokkhodi ehan o suh kotta erah jiin nawa emamah et jam ah.
49 Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, —and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?
“Ngah ih hatoh ah we ih rook suh ra halang, eno erah ejen luung ela ih thunhang!
50 But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended!
Ngah ih lakngah ni nga juungtemjih jeela, eno erah loong ah maang thoonthoon ngah mathan ih moongsaamte anglang!
51 Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather division.
Sen ih ngah suh hatoh nah semroongroong ang thuk raaha ih tammok thun tahe? Tah angka, semroongroong tah angka, epheehoom thong ang ah.
52 For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, divided, —three against two, and two against three:
Aadowa ih changka siit ni mih banga angte ah ephe eah, ejom ah enyi damdoh miksuk mui ah enyi ah ejom damdoh ih miksuk mui ah.
53 There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
Hewah loong ah neng sah damdoh miksuh mui ah, heh sah loong ah neng wah damdoh; heh nuh loong ah neng sah minusah damdoh miksuk mui ah, neng sah ah neng nuh damdoh, henuh loong ah neng nyam damdoh miksuh mui ah, neng nyam ah neng hopnuh damdoh miksuk mui ah.”
54 And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes, —Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying—A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.
Jisu ih miloong asuh wakbaatta, “Sen ih jiingmuung ah saanop ko ih sok damdam laanjeng ruh elan rangphaatte angla eah eno amiimi ih phaat.
55 And, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say—A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass.
Erah damdi sen ih juungmeh ko nawa pong ih mot hanbah, sen ih liihan rangmi angte eno amiimiisak ih rang ah mi.
56 Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;
Lonoite loong! Sen ih rang ahah ko ih sok anno rangmi rangphaat kemban jat han; erah ang abah, sen ih aahaangwa saapoot ah mamah ladan jat ehan?
57 Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?
“Sen ih sen teewah ah epun ih re suh mamah lami dande et han?
58 For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:
O ih bah uh sen thet ah jat ano hootthe jun ih mat hoon nok nah siitwanjih mok ang abah, sen ih mat hoon nok maangjap doh changrook ah mathan jen ang ah, esemsiit raangtaan ih thuntheng. Emah lah ekan bah, mat hoon nok nah mat hoonte jiinnah hoom wanhan, eno pulit lak nah kohan, erah dowa ih phaatak nah sak wanhan.
59 I tell thee—In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!
Ngah ih baat rumhala, erah nah sen chang maang dokdok ih tongthuk han.”
