Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mawna sung ah puk le khial thak ngawl tu sia suak thei ngawl hi: ahihang tabang a thengsak sia a mailam bing hi!
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
Patang no khat khialsak tu sang in, a ngawng ah an ngoaina suang khit in, tuipi sung ah ki khiasuk le, ama atu in phazaw hi.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Noma le noma kidawm vun: na suapui pa sia na tung ah hong khial le, tei in; a ki sikkik a hile, maisak in.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
Na tung ah ni khat sung sali vei dong hong khial a, na tung ah sali vei dong hongpai in, kisik khi hi, hong cile, maisak in, ci hi.
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Sawltakte in, Topa tung ah, ka upna uh hong khangsak tan, ci uh hi.
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Taciang Topa in, Note in ankamci cia upna nei le uh te, hi theikung mun ah, na bul pan kilong in, tuipi sung ah ki phut in; ci le uh te, na thu hong ni tu hi.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Ahihang note sung ah khatpo in, lo tho, a hibale tuucing naseam khat nei in, tua naseampa lo pan hong cia pociang, pai in a, anne tu in to in, ci a kua in ci tu nu ziam?
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
Ka an neak tu hong vawtkholsak tan a, an hong thuk tan, ka neak ka dawn man dong hong ngak tan, tua zawkciang in ne in a, dawn kik in; ci tu hi ngawl ziam01?
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Naseam pa in thupiak teng a vawt siat zawkciang a topa in lungdam a ko tu ziam? Ko tu um ngawl khi hi.
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Tabangma in, note zong thupiak theampo na vawt siat zawk uh ciang, kote sia phattuam na nei ngawl naseam te ka hi uh hi, ka sep tu nasep a seam bekma khu hi, ci tavun, ci hi.
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Jesus Jerusalem a pai ciang in Samaria le Galilee ngamngi tawn in pai hi.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
Khua khat sung ah a tum uh ciang in, miphak sawm te taw kisi a, a khuala na ah ding in:
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
Jesus, Topa awng, hong hesuak tan, ci in a nging tatak in au uh hi.
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
Jesus in amate a mu ciang in, Pai tavun a, thiampi te kung ah noma le noma ki lak tavun, ci hi. Amate a pai uh laitak in, a vekpi in thiangtho siat uh hi.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Amate sung pan khat in damzo khi hi, ci a mu ciang in, heakkik a, aw ngingtak taw Pathian pok hi,
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
Taciang Jesus peang ah bok a, lungdam ko hi: ama sia Samaria mi a hihi.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Jesus in, Mihing sawm ki thiangsak hi ngawl ziam? Ahihang a dang kua te, koisung ah om ziam?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Hi ngamdang mi simngawl Pathian pok tu in a heakkik mu ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
Taciang in Jesus in, Tho in a, pai in: na upna in hong damsak zo hi, ci hi.
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Pharisee te in, Pathian kumpingam sia banghun ciang hong theng tu ziam? ci in Jesus dong uh hi, Jesus in, Pathian kumpingam sia mit taw mu thei in hong theng ngawl tu hi:
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Hi mun ah en vun! a hibale, zesung ah en vun! ci in kuama in hong ci ngawl tu hi, banghangziam cile, en vun, Pathian kumpingam sia note sung ah om hi, ci hi.
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mihing Tapa ni sia, nikhat sung bek zong na mu nop mama uh hun hong theng tu hi, ahihang mu tha ngawl tu nu hi.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
Note tung ah, hi mun ah en vun; a hibale, zesung ah en vun, hong ci tu uh hi: tabang te nung pan zui tha heak vun.
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
Banghangziam cile, khualeng sia, van mong khat pan mong khat dong a tang bang in, mihing Tapa ni zong tabangma hi tu hi.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
Ahizong a masabel in ama in nasiatak thuak tu a, tu hun mihing te in nial tu uh hi.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Noah hunlai bangma in mihing Tapa hun ciang zong tabangma hi tu hi.
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
Noah tembaw sung tum a, tuiliim in mi theampo a bocip siat dong, amate ne le dawn, mopui motha in om tek uh hi.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Tasia bangma in Lot hun lai zong amate ne le dawn, van zuak, thingkung cing le inn sa in om tek uh hi;
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
Ahihang Lot sia Sodom khua pan a pusua ni ciang in, van pan mei le kat sia ngua bang in zu a, a vekpi in susia siat hi.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Mihing Tapa hong ki pualak ni ciang zong tabangma hi tu hi.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
Tua ni ciang in, innkhum tung a om te, innsung ah van la tu in tuaksuk nawn heak hen: lo ah a omte zong inn ah ciakik nawn heak hen.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Lot i zi na phawk tavun.
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
A kuamapo ama nuntakna a hung nuam peuma a nuntakna sum tu hi; a kuamapo a ma nuntakna a sum peuma nuntakna nga tu hi.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Keima in kong ci hi, tua ni zan ciang lupna khat tung ah mi ni lumkhawm tu hi; khat ki la tu a, khat ki nusia tu hi.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Numei ni an ngoai khawm tu hi; khat ki la tu a, khat ki nusia tu hi.
Pasal ni lo sung ah na seam khawm tu hi; khat kila tu a, khat ki nusia tu hi, ci hi.
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Ama te in, Topa, koisung hi tu ziam? ci in dong uh hi, Jesus in amate tung ah, Mithi luang om na mun theampo ah vaciik te ki kaikhawm tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
