Luke 8
1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
Hat hnukkhu hoi Jisuh teh kho touh hoi kho touh a cei teh Cathut uknaeram lunghawinae kamthang a pâpho.
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
A hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh ni a hnuk a kâbang awh. Patawnae hoi muitha kathoutnaw ni a tek e dawk hoi ka hlout e napuinaw hai a kâbang awh. Hote napui thung dawk kahraituilinaw sari touh ni a tâco takhai e Magdalin telah a kaw awh e Meri hoi,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
Herod yung thaw ka tawk e Khuza e a yu Joanna hoi Shusanna hoi, a tawn e hno ka pasoung ni teh Jisuh hoi a hnukkâbangnaw ka paca, ka pânei e, alouke napuinaw hai ao awh.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Tamihupui, kho avoivang lahoi Bawipa koe a tho awh teh, a kamkhueng awh navah bangnuenae lahoi a dei pouh e teh,
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
Cati kaheikung ni cati kahei hanelah a tâco. Cati a kahei navah a tangawn teh lam dawk a bo dawkvah, khok hoi a coungroe awh teh kalvan e tavanaw ni koung a patu.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
Cati tangawn teh talung van vah a bo dawkvah a paw eiteh talai kahawi ao hoeh dawkvah tang a kamyai teh a ke.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
A tangawn teh pâkhing um a bo dawkvah, pâkhing ni a yawngyen.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
A tangawn teh talai kahawi dawk a bo dawkvah, a paw teh alet cum touh totouh apung teh a paw a paw telah ati. Hottelah a dei hnukkhu vah, thainae hnâ ka tawn pueng ni thai na seh, telah a hramkhai.
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
A hnukkâbangnaw ni hete bangnuenae teh bangmaw a dei ngai telah Bawipa a pacei awh.
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Jisuh ni nangmouh teh Cathut uknaeram hrolawk hah panuethainae na poe awh. Alouke taminaw teh, a hmu awh ei nout thai hoeh nahanelah, a thai awh ei a panue thai hoeh nahanelah ahnimouh koe bangnuenae lahoi ka dei pouh.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Hote bangnuenae teh hettelah ao. Cati teh Cathut e lawk doeh.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Lam dawk kabawt e cati teh, a lawk a thai eiteh, yuemnae, hloutnae dawk a pha thai hoeh nahanelah Kahraimathout ni a tho teh, a lung thung e Cathut lawk hah, oun a lawp ti dei ngainae doeh.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
Talung van ka bawt e cati dei ngainae teh, a lawk thai navah lunghawicalah hoi tang a dâw ei, a lung thung a tangpha a payang hoeh dawkvah, Cathut lawk kecu dawk, runae hoi rektapnae a kâhmo toteh tang a rawp ti ngainae doeh.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Pâkhing um ka bawt e cati, tie a dei ngainae teh Cathut lawk a thai teh, talai hno dawk lungpuennae, hnopai ni dumyennae hoi, alouke hnonaw noenae lungthin ni a katek dawkvah a paw paw thai hoeh ti ngainae doeh.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Talai kahawi dawk ka bawt e cati tie a dei ngainae teh, thoungnae hoi lannae lungthin hoi Cathut lawk a thai teh lungsaw lahoi pou a hringkhai tie a dei ngainae doeh.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Hmaiim paang e teh hlaam hoi ouk ramuk boihoeh. Ikhun rahim hai tat boihoeh. Ka kâen e taminaw ni angnae a hmu thai nahanelah hmaiimkhok dawk doeh ouk paang awh.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
A hmonae koe kaawm e pueng koung a kamnue han, ramuk lah kaawm e naw pueng koung kamawng han.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Hatdawkvah nangmouh ni na thai e lawknaw kâhruetcuet awh. Ka tawn e tami teh bout poe sin lah o han. Ka mathoe e tami teh a tawn e ca patenghai la pouh lah ao han telah a ti.
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Hatnavah a manu hoi a nawnghanaw teh Bawipa koe a tho awh. Kamkhueng e tami apap poung dawkvah Jisuh koe phat thai awh hoeh.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
Tami tangawn ni na manu hoi, na nawnghanaw ni na kâhmo han na ngai awh teh alawilah a kangdue awh telah atipouh navah,
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Ahni ni Cathut e lawk ka thai ni teh ka tarawi e taminaw doeh kaie ka manu, ka nawngha atipouh.
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Hnin touh hnin vah, Jisuh teh a hnukkâbangnaw hoi cungtalah long dawk a luen awh teh tui namran lah cet awh sei ati awh teh a cei awh.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Tui dawk a cei awh navah, Bawipa teh a i. Hatnavah tûilî a tho dawkvah long dawk tui yikkawi teh runae a kâhmo awh.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
A hnukkâbangnaw ni Bawipa teh a pâhlaw hnukkhu, Bawipa, Bawipa maimanaw rawknae koe pha a han toe atipouh awh navah, ahni ni, tûilî hoi tuicapa a yue teh a roum sak.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Ahni ni na yuemnae na maw na ta awh, telah a pacei navah, ahnimanaw ni hete tami teh bangpatet e tami nama aw. Tui hoi tûilî patenghai kâ a poe bo teh, ahnimouh ni a lawk a ngai pouh bo aw telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpankhai awh.
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
Galilee ram tui namran lah kaawm e Kerasen ram dawk a pha awh.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Jisuh teh a oung lah a luen navah, atueng moi kasawlah kahraituilinaw ni a man e tami, angki hai kho hoeh, im dawk hai awmhoeh, phuen koe ouk kaawm e Kerasen tami buet touh ni Jisuh teh a dawn.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Bawipa a hmu navah a tabo teh, Lathueng Poung Cathut Capa Jisuh, nang teh kai hoi bangmaw na kâkuet. Kai na rektap hoeh nahanlah pahrennae kahei telah a hramki laihoi a dei.
A deingainae teh, Jisuh ni kakhine muitha tami thung hoi tâcawt telah kâ a poe toung dawk doeh.

30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Jisuh ni na min apimaw ti teh a pacei navah, hote tami teh kahraituilinaw ni a tek dawkvah ransahupui telah atipouh.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
Hathnukkhu hoi kahrainaw ni ka dungpoung e hmuen koe pâlei hane kâ a poe hoeh nahanelah a kâhei awh. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Hote hmuen koevah, vok moikapap teh a paca awh. Hote voknaw thungvah na kâen sak loe telah a kâhei awh navah Jisuh ni kâenh atipouh.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Hatnavah, kahraituilinaw tami thung hoi a tâco awh teh vok thung vah a kâen awh. Voknaw teh pango dawk a tâto awh teh, talî dawk a kâphum awh teh, koung a due awh.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Vok ka khoumnaw ni a kâhmo e hno hah khopui khote koe lah a yawng awh teh a dei awh.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Tami moikapap teh hote hno khet hanelah a tho awh. Jisuh koe a tho awh nah kahraituilinaw ni a man e tami teh hni a kâkhu teh lung kacaicalah hoi Jisuh e khok koe a tahung e hah a hmu awh navah a taki awh.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Kahraituilinaw ni a man e tami a damnae kong hah kahmawtnaw ni alouke taminaw koe patuen a dei pouh awh.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
Karasen ram dawk e taminaw pueng ni a taki awh dawkvah ahnimouh koehoi tâco hanelah Bawipa koe a kâhei awh. Bawipa hai long dawk a luen teh a ban.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Kahraituilinaw pâlei pouh e tami ni kai hai nang koe kâbang van han telah a kâhei.
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
Jisuh ni nama im cet nateh, na imthungnaw koevah, Cathut ni nang koe pahrennae a sak e hah dei loe titeh a ban sak. Ahni ni a cei teh Jisuh ni a lathueng a sak e naw pueng kho thung a dei pouh.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Jisuh teh a ban navah, taminaw pueng ni Bawipa ngaihawi laihoi a dawn awh.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
Hatnavah, sinakok ka uk e Jairus tie Bawipa koe a tho teh a khok koevah a tabo.
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
Kum hlaikahni touh nueng ka phat e canu buet touh a tawn e meimei a due dawkvah, Jisuh a im vah tho hanelah a kaw teh a tho navah, taminaw teh Bawipa koe a kâen awh.
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
Hatnavah a kum hlaikahni touh thung thikui ni teh a hnopai pueng tâsibawi koe koung a pâbaw khai teh ka dam thai hoeh e napui buet touh teh,
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
a hnuk lahoi a hnai teh a hni pawi a tek navah a tek tahma a thikuinae teh tang a dam.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
Jisuh ni apimaw kai na tek, telah a pacei navah taminaw pueng ni a kâtang awh. Piter hoi a huinaw ni, Bawipa, tamihupui ni nang na kânep e hah kai apinimaw na tek khuet na ti vaw telah atipouh awh.
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Jisuh nihai, tami buetbuet touh ni kai na tek toe. Ka tak dawk hoi bahu a tâco e ka panue telah atipouh.
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Hote napui ni ka kâhrawk thai mahoeh ti a kâpanue dawkvah, a pâyaw laihoi a tho teh bang patet e kong dawk maw a tek ti hai thoseh, tang a damnae kong hai thoseh, taminaw e hmalah a tabo teh a pâpho.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Jisuh ni, ka canu na lungpuen hanh. Na yuemnae ni na dam sak toe, lungmawngcalah hoi cet leih atipouh.
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Telah atipouh navah, sinakok ka uk e im dawk hoi tami buet touh a tho teh, nange na canu a due toe. Saya teh tarawk hanh lawih atipouh.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Jisuh ni a thai navah, taket hanh awh. Yuemnae buet touh dueng mah tawn awh. Telah na tawn awh pawiteh rucatnae dawk hoi na hlout han telah sinakok ka uk e koe atipouh.
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Im dawk a pha navah, Piter, Jawhan, Jem hoi napui ca e a manu hoi a na pa hloilah apihai a kâen hoeh nahanelah a cakâ.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Taminaw pueng ni a khuikakhai awh navah, Jisuh ni kap hanh awh. Camo teh dout hoeh, ka ip e doeh, atipouh.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
Napui ca a due e hah ahnimanaw ni a panue awh dawkvah, Bawipa teh a panuikhai awh.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Hote taminaw alawilah koung a tâco sak hnukkhu, camo e a kut a kuet pouh teh, camo thaw leih telah a kaw.
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
Hatnavah ahnie muitha teh a thung bout a kâen dawkvah camo teh tang a thaw. Hahoi rawca poe hanelah kâ a poe.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
Hattoteh a manu hoi napanaw teh a kângairu awh. Hatei, hete hnonaw heh api koehai dei hoeh hanelah lawk a thui.
