Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Jesus in amate tung ah, A tatak in kong ci ciang, hi mun ah a om pawlkhat te in, Pathian kumpingam vangletna taw hongpai a mu dong thina tep tha ngawl tu uh hi. ci hi.
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
Ni luk zawkciang Jesus in, Peter, James le John te mualsang tung ah a tuam in sam a, amate mai ah a meal kikheal hi.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
A puan taang a, leitung ah koibang puansawp peuma in zong a thiansak thei ngawl tu za dong in; vuk bang in pak hi.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Elijah le Moses te hong ki lang a: Jesus taw ki paupui uh hi.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
Peter in Jesus kung ah, Syapa awng, eite atu in hi mun ah om tu pha hi: buk thum sa tawng; Nangma atu khat, Moses atu khat le Elijah atu khat, ci hi.
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Banghangziam cile amate a laulei uh hu in, bang son tu ci zong a he bua uh hi.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Taciang amate meingo in lia a: meingo sung pan in, hisia ka it ka Tapa a hihi, ama thu ni vun, ci aw khat hong nging hi.
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
Tasia pociang, amate in a kiim a pam a et uh ciang in, Jesus le amate simngawl kuama a mu bua uh hi.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
Amate mualtung pan a tuaksuk uh ciang in, Jesus in, mihing Tapa thina pan in thawkik dong, a mu uh thu te kuama a son ngawl natu in vaitha hi.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
Amate in tua a son thu te ciamte uh a, thina pan thokik, ci kammal sia bang a cinopna hi tu ziam, ci in khat le khat ki dong uh hi.
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
Taciang a nungzui te in, banghang in thukhamhil te in Elijah hongpai masa tu hi, ci ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Jesus in, Elijah hongpai masa takpi tu a, na theampo sia ama in puakhol tu hi; taciang mihing Tapa thu bangbang in atkhol ziam ci le, ama in tam mama thuak tu a, bangma thusimngawl in koi tu hi.
Ahihang keima in hibang in kong ci hi, Elijah hong theng takpi a, ama thu a ki atkholsa ombang in, amate uk bang in vawt uh hi, ci hi.
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
A nungzui te kung ah hongpai ciang in, thukhamhil te le mihonpi te a kiim ah thu kidong mu hi.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Thakhatthu in, mi theampo in Jesus a mu uh ciang in, lamdangsa uh a, ama sang ah hong tai in, paupui uh hi.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Jesus in thukhamhil te kung ah, Amate taw bang ki dong nu ziam? ci in dong hi.
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Mihonpi sung pan khat in, Syapa awng, ka tapa sung ah a pau thei ngawl doai lut a, na kung hong puak khi hi;
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
Tua a pau thei ngawl doai in a paipui na mun theampo ah, lei ah puksak in, a kam pan cilphuan te pusuak hi, a ha ngoai in, ngawm zong ngawm liang hi: na nungzui te hawlkhiasak tu in ka son hang; amate in hawlkhia zo ngawl hi, ci hi.
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Jesus in ama kung ah, Maw upna nei ngawl suan te, note taw bang hun dong hong om tu khi ziam? banghun dong hong khual lai tu khi ziam? ama ka kung ah hong paipui tavun, ci hi.
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Amate in Jesus kung ah paipui uh a: Jesus a mu ciang in, thaa in patang pa sia thakhatthu in lei ah puksak in; cilphuan te thasak hi.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
Jesus in, Hi bang a hi zawk ngei zo ziam? ci in a pa dong hi. A pa in a no lai pan ma hi zo hi, ci hi.
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
Taciang ama siatsua tu in, tu le tu mei sung ah ahizong, tui sung ah ahizong, sep tawntung hi: ahihang khatpo na vawt thei le, kote tung ah hesuakna nei in hong hu tan, ci hi.
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Jesus in ama kung ah, Na um ngam ziam, a um te atu in na theampo suakthei hi, ci hi.
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Tua patang i pa in thakhatthu in, Topa, um khi hi; ka up ngawl na hong hu tan, ci in thitui taw au hi.
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
Jesus in mihon te tai kawm in hongpai a mu ciang, doai ngilo tung ah, Nang pau thei ngawl le nangong doai, hi sia pa sung pan pusuak tu le tumkik nawn ngawl tu in thu hong pia khi hi, ci in tei hi.
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Tua thaa ngilo sia au a, patangno kawngkaw cip bang in a omsak zawkciang, a sung pan pusuak hi: taciang ama sia a thi bang in om a; mi tampi in, thi zo hi, ci uh hi.
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Ahihang Jesus in a khut pan len in kaito hi; taciang ama ding to hi.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
Jesus innsung ah a tum ciang in, a nungzui te in a, banghang in ko te in hawlkhia thei ngawl khu ziam? ci in a tuam in dong uh hi.
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Jesus in amate tung ah, Hi bang te sia thungetna le antan na simngawl, thudang hang in pusuak thei ngawl hi, ci hi.
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Amate tua mun pan Galilee ngam kantan in pai uh a; kuama i heak tu dei ngawl hi.
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
Banghangziam cile a nungzui te hil in, Mihing Tapa sia ngual khut ah ap tu hi, taciang amate in that tu uh a; a ma a ki thalup zawk nithum ni ciang in thokik tu hi, ci hi.
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Ahihang amate in a son thu telthiam ngawl uh hi napi, dong ngam tuan ngawl uh hi.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Capernaum khua theng uh a: innsung a tum uh ciang in Jesus in a nungzui te kung ah, Lamkal ah bang thu ki nial nu ziam? ci in dong hi.
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Ahihang amate huthe ngawl in om uh hi: banghangziam cile lamkal ah a ki nial uh thu sia, a kua lianbel tu, ci thu ki nial uh hi.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Jesus to suk a, a nungzui sawmleni te sam in, amate tung ah, A kuamapo a masabel nuam le, tua pa sia, a khakbel le mi theampo te naseam hi tu hi, ci hi.
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Taciang Jesus in patangno khat la in, amate lai ah koi hi: a toai zawkciang in, amate tung ah,
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
A kuama po in keima min taw hibang patang te a sang peuma keima hong sang a hihi, taciang a kuamapo keima hong sang peuma in, keima hong sang hi ngawl in, keima hong sawl pa a sang a hihi, ci hi.
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
John in, Syapa awng, na min taw doai te a hawlkhia khat ka mu uh a, hong zui ngawl hu in: tho khu hi, ci uh hi.
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Ahihang Jesus in, Khak heak vun; banghangziam cile keima min taw na lamdang a vawt khat in, kei hong sonsia mameang ngawl tu hi.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Banghangziam cile ei hong langpan ngawl peuma ei sang ah om hi.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
A tatak in kong ci ciang, a kuapo a hi zong keima mihing na hi uh hang in, ka min taw tui dawn tu hai khat hong pia peuma, a thaman tan ngawl tu hi.
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Khat po in keima hong um patangno te sung pan khat lam a khialsak sia, a ngawng ah an ngoai na suangtum khit in, tuipi thuk na mun ah khiasuk leang ama atu phazaw lai hi.
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Na khut in hong khialsak le, at tan in: bangmahun in a mit ngei ngawl tu hell meisung ah khut lang ni taw pai sang in, pumpi kim ngawl in nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi: (Geenna g1067)
Tua mei sung ah than zong thi ngawl a, mei zong mit ngawl hi.
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Taciang na peang in hong khialsak le, at tan in: bangmahun in a mit ngei ngawl tu hell meisung ah khut lang ni taw pai sang in, pumpi kim ngawl in nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi: (Geenna g1067)
Tua mei sung ah than zong thi ngawl a, mei zong mit ngawl hi.
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Taciang na mit in hong khialsak le, khel keak in: bangmahun in a mit ngei ngawl tu hell meisung ah khut lang ni taw pai sang in, pumpi kim ngawl in nuntakna sung ah tum tu phazaw hi: (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
Tua mei sung ah than zong thi ngawl a, mei zong mit ngawl hi.
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
Banghangziam cile khatsim khatsim in mei taw hong ki alsak tu hi, taciang biakpiakna theampo zong ci taw ki alsak tu hi.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Cii sia pha hi: ahihang a al na bo a hile, bangbang in al kiksak thei tu nu ziam? Cii bang in al vun a, khat le khat kilem vadiam in om tavun, ci hi.
