Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Hiteng zawkciang in Topa in a dang sawm sali teal a, ama pai na mun tu khua le mun tatuam ah ni veu ni veu kop in paikholsak hi.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Taciang Topa in amate tung ah, Tang at tu tampi om napi, naseam tu tawm hi: tua ahikom, tang at tu Topa in naseam tu te tang at na mun ah sawl tu in thungen vun.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Pai tavun: en vun, ngia hon sung ah tuuno bang in hong tha khi hi.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Dangka bawm, thung le peangdap te keng heak vun: lamkal ah ngual dang paupui heak vun.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Inn khatpo ah na tum uh ciang in, a masabel in, hi innsung ah thinnopna om tahen, ci vun.
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Tua inn ah thinnopna tapa a om le, na thinnop na uh a tung ah om tu hi: a om bua a hile, note tung ah hong heakkik tu hi.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Tua inn ah tam nginge vun a, hongpiak po ne in, dawn vun: banghangziam cile naseam te thaman nga tu kilawm hi. Inn khat pan a dang inn khat ah kikhin heak vun.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Khua khatpo ah na tum uh ciang in, hong sang uh a hile, na mai uh ah hong lui te ne vun:
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Tua khua sung a om cina te damsak vun a, amate tung ah, Pathian kumpingam hong nai zo hi, ci in hil vun.
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Ahihang khuapi khatpo ah na tum uh ciang in, hong sang bua a hile, na tum na uh lampi pan ma in pusuakkik vun a,
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
Ka peang tung uh ah a bang leivui te cikteak sia, note langpan tu in nawl khu hi: ahihang Pathian kumpingam hong nai zo hi, ci tel thiang tavun, ci tavun.
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Ahihang kong son tu hi, tua ni ciang in Sodom thuak na sia tua khuapi sang in thuak nop zaw tu hi.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Maw Chorazin! na mailam bing hi, maw Bethsaida! na mailam bing hi, banghangziam cile na sung ah a ki vawt vanglian nasep te Tyre le Sidon khua ah ki vawt hile, khau-ip puan le vut sung ah to in a mawna uh a ki sikkik zawk ngei zo tu hi.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Ahihang thukhenna ni ciang Tyre le Sidon sia nang sang in a thuakna uh ol zaw tu hi.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Taciang nang, Capernaum, van dong hong ki lamsang zo napi, hell sung dong in khiaksuk kik na hi tu hi. (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Na thu hong ni te sia ka thu hong ni te a hi uh hi; note hong zawngsak te keima hong zawngsak a hihi; keima hong zawngsak te keima hong sawl pa zawngsak a hihi, ci hi.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Sawm sali te lungdamna taw hong heakkik uh a, Topa awng, doai ngilo te nangawn in na min hang in ka thu uh hong ni hi, ci uh hi.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Taciang Jesus in amate tung ah, Khualeng bang in van pan Satan a taksuk ka mu hi.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
En vun, ngul te le ai-kam te sikcil tu in vangletna kong pia hi, taciang ngal te vangletna theampo tung ah zong vangletna kong pia hi: taciang bangma peuma in hong susia thei ngawl tu hi.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Ahihang thaa te in na thu uh hong nit hu in lungdam heak vun; tua sang in na min uh vantung ah ki at zo ahikom in lungdam zaw vun, ci hi.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Tua hun laitak in Jesus sia Thaa sung ah lungdam a, Maw ka Pa, lei le van Topa, mipil le mi thiam te tung ah na phualseal te, patangno te tung ah na pualak hu in lungdam kong ko hi: hi tahen, maw ka Pa awng; banghangziam cile na mu na ah hisia in pha hi.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Ka pa in na theampo kei hong pia zo hi: Tapa a kua ziam, ci Pa simngawl kuama in a he bua hi; taciang, Pa sia a kua ziam, ci Tapa le, ama Tapa i a pualak te bek in a he uh hi, ci hi.
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Jesus a nungzui te sang ah kihei a, Na mu uh thu te a mu mitte thuphatoai a hihi:
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Kei kong cina pan, kamsang le kumpi tampi te in na mu uh thu te mu nuam napi, mu tha ngawl hi; na zak uh thu te za nuam napi za tha ngawl uh hi, ci a tuam in son hi.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Taciang, en vun, thukhamhil khat hong ding a, Syapa awng, tawntung nuntakna ka lua natu bang vawt tu khi ziam? ci in ze-et hi. (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Jesus in ama tung ah, Thukham laibu sung ah bang ki at ziam? bangbang sim ni ziam? ci hi.
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Tua pa in, Topa na Pathian sia na thinsung theampo, na nuntakna theampo, na hatna theampo le na ngaisutna theampo taw it in; nangma le nangma na ki it bang in na innpam te it in, ci in zo hi.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Jesus in, Na zo na man hi: hi te vawt in a, na nungta tu hi, ci hi.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Ahihang thukhamhil pa in ama le ama ki thutangsak nuam ahikom, Jesus tung ah, ka innpam te a kua ziam? ci hi.
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Tasiaciang Jesus in, Khatvei mikhat Jerusalem pan Jericho ah pai hi, phalak te taw ki si a, a nikten puansil teng sutsak in velcip hi, nasia mama in liam a, a thi dektak in nusia hi.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Thiampi khat tua lampi tawn luilam a; tua pa a mu ciang in, a langkhat pan pial in paisan hi.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Tabangma in Levi khat zong tua mun ah hongpai a, a et zawkciang in, a langkhat pan pial in paisan hi.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Ahihang Samaria mi khat, tua lampi ah khualhaw in hongpai a, tua cina pa a mu ciang in, a tung ah hesuakna nei hi,
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Taciang a kung ah pai in, a meima te sathau le sapittui buaksak in tuamsak hi, taciang ama nganno tung ah suan a, zintun inn ah paipui in khoi hi.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
A zingciang a paikik tu ciang in, dangka tang ni sua a, zintun inn keampa pia hi, taciang hi sia pa na khoi in a; na bo thua na teng theampo sia, kong paikik ciang in hong pia tu khi hi, ci hi.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Hi te thum sung pan, phalak te taw a ki si pa i innpam sia a kua hi tu ngaisun ni ziam? ci in dong hi.
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Thukhamhil pa in, cina pa tung ah hesuakna a nei pa, ci in zo hi. Taciang Jesus in ama tung ah, Pai tan a, nang zong tabang in ngamta in, ci hi.
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Jesus le a nungzui te pai uh a, khua khat ah theng uh hi; taciang Martha a kici numei khat in Jesus sia a inn ah sang hi.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Martha in Mary a kici naunu khat nei a, ama sia Jesus peang kung ah to in, thu ngai hi.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Ahihang Martha sia nasep tam hu in a thintoi a, Jesus kung ah pai in, Topa, ka naunu in nasep theampo keima nguak i sep tu in hong awn hi, phamaw sa ngawl ni ziam? tua ahikom keima nasep hu tu in sawl in, ci hi.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Taciang Jesus in, Martha, Martha, nang sia na tam mama thintoi le buaipui ni hi:
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
Ahihang a kisam tatak khat bek om hi: tasia Mary in teal zo a, kuama in ama tung pan in laksak kik thei nawn ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
