Mark 8
1 During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
Tua zawkciang a tam mama mihonpi te sia neak tu nei ngawl hi, taciang Jesus in a nungzui te a kung ah sam a,
2 “This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
Mihonpi te hesuakhuai sa khi hi, banghangziam cile amate sia ka kung ah nithum hong om zo a, neak tu bangma nei ngawl hi:
3 Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
An ne ngawl in amate innlam zuan in ciasak hileng, amate lamkal ah puk-hong tu hi: banghangziam cile pawlkhat te sia a khuala mama na pan in hongpai uh hi, ci hi.
4 [Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
A nungzui te in, hi duisung ah a kua in mihing hi za ngilva tu in vak tu anluum kong pan nga thei tu ziam? ci in zo kik uh hi.
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
Taciang Jesus in, Anluum bangza nei nu ziam? ci in dong hi. Amate in sali, ci uh hi.
6 Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
Jesus in mipi te lei ah to tu in thupia hi: taciang anluum sali la a, lungdam a ko zawkciang phel in, mipi te lui tu in a nungzui te mai ah koi a; a nungzui te in mipi te lui hi.
7 [They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
Amate in ngasa tawm nei hi: Jesus in thupha a piak zawkciang in, mipi te lui tu in thupia hi.
8 the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
Amate ngilvatak in a neak zawk uh ciang in: anluum neng teng thawm uh a bawm sali dim hi.
9 [They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
A ne te sia tul li kiim pha hi: taciang Jesus in amate ciasak hi.
10 Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
Tuazawk pociang ngunkuang sung ah a nungzui te taw tum a, Dalmanutha ngam huam sung ah pai uh hi.
11 [In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
Pharisee te hongpai in, Jesus thu dok kipan uh hi, Ama ze-et tu in vanlam musakna ngen uh hi.
12 Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
Jesus in a thinsung tawng pan tau vahum in, Banghang in hi minam te in musakna ngen ziam? a tatak in kong ci ciang, hi minam te kung ah musakna bangma pia ngawl tu khi hi, ci hi.
13 Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
Taciang Jesus in amate nusia in, ngunkuang sung ah to kik a ngalkhat ah pai hi.
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
Nungzuite in anluum keng mangil uh a, ngunkuang sung ah anluum khat simngawl a dang bangma nei ngawl uh hi.
15 [As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
Jesus in amate tung ah, Pharisee te le Herod i tol pan kidawm vun, ci in vaitha hi.
16 [The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
Hi thu sia anluum i ken ngawl hang hi, ci in amate kikum uh hi.
17 Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
Taciang Jesus in a heak ciang in amate tung ah, Anluum na nei ngawl uh hang hi, ci in banghang kikum nu ziam? he ngawl lai in tel thei ngawl lai nu ziam? na thin uh puisak top lai nu ziam?
18 (I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
Mit nei napi, mu ngawl nu ziam? bil nei napi, za ngawl nu ziam? bangma ciamte ngawl nu ziam?
19 when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
Tul nga te sung ah anluum nga ka phel lai, a val bawm bangza tawm nu ziam? ci hi. Amate in, sawmleni, ci uh hi.
20 Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
Tul li sung ah sali ka phel lai in, a val bawm bangza tawm nu ziam? ci hi. Amate in, sali, ci uh hi.
21 Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
Jesus in amate tung ah, Bangbang in hi thu he thei ngawl nu ziam? ci hi.
22 They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
Jesus Bethsaida ah hongpai a; amate in mittaw khat a kung ah hong paipui uh hi, taciang tua pa tham tu in ngen uh hi.
23 Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
Jesus in mittaw pa a khut pan in len a, khuapi puasang ah paipui hi; taciang a mitte tung ah cilphi in, a khut nga a, khatpo mu na nei ziam, ci in dong hi.
24 The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
Mittaw pa in en a, mihing te sia thingkung bang in a vak mu khi hi, ci hi.
25 Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
Tua zawkciang Jesus in, mittaw pa mit tung ah a khut nga kik a, ensak hi: a mit vak in, mihing te thiangtak in mu hi.
26 Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
Jesus in a inn ah ciasak a, Khuapi sung ah tum heak in a, kuama zong son heak in, ci hi.
27 Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
Jesus le a nungzui te pai uh a, Caesarea Philippi khuapi kiim khua te ah pai hi: lamkal ah a nungzui te kung ah, Ngual in keima sia akua hong ci uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
28 They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
Taciang amate in, tuiphumpa John: pawlkhat te in Elijah; a dang te in kamsang khat papo hong ci hi, ci in zo kik uh hi.
29 He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
Taciang Jesus in amate tung ah, Hi kale, note in, kua hi nong ci uh ziam? ci hi. Taciang Peter in, Nangma sia, Christ na hihi, ci in zo hi.
30 Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
Tasiaciang in, Ama thu sia kuama tung ah son ngawl tu in nungzui te vaitha hi.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
Jesus in amate thuhil kipan a, mihing Tapa in tam mama thuak tu hi, upa te, thiampi lian te le thukhamhil te in nial tu hi, that tu uh a, nithum zawkciang thokik tu hi.
32 He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
Tua thu sia Jesus in a kilangtak in son hi. Taciang Peter in Jesus samtuam in tei hi.
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
Ahihang Jesus in a nungzui te kihei in a le-et ciang, Satan: nang ka nung ah kiheam in, banghangziam cile Pathian thu sang in, mihing thu kinzaw ni hi, ci in Peter tei hi.
34 Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
Taciang Jesus in mihon te le a nungzui te Ama kung ah a sap zawkciang in, A kuamapo ka nung hong zui nuam peuma, ama le ama ki nial hen a, ama thinglamte pua in, hong zui tahen.
35 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
Banghangziam cile a kuamapo in, ama nuntakna a hung nuam sia in sum tu hi; ahihang a kuamapo in keima le lungdamna thu hang in a nuntakna a sum peuma in, a nuntakna hu zo tu hi.
36 People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Banghangziam cile mi khat in hileitung buppi a nei hial zong, a thaa nuntakna a sum le bang phatuam ziam?
37 ([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
Mihing in a thaa nuntakna bang taw theak thei tu ziam?
38 And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
Tua ahikom a kuamapo in hi seksol suan te mai ah keima le ka thu a maizumpui peuma; a Pa vangletna sung ah a thiangtho vantungmi te taw hongpai ciang in, mihing Tapa in maizumpui kik tu hi, ci hi.
