Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Jisu ih heliphante asih wanyi ah lompoon rum ano neng suh chiithih laakhah loong jen dokphan suh nyia jaatrep khoisat maasat loong ah jen deesiit suh chaan korumta.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Heliphante asih wanyi loong ah arah: Phangkhothoon ah Simoon (Pitar et poonha rah) nyia heh no Endriu; Jebidi sah Jeems nyia heh no Joon,
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Philip nyia Bartolomew; Thomas nyia sokseete Mathiu; Alphaeus sah Jeems nyia Thadaeus;
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
deek akaan pangte Simoon nyia Jisu mokwaante Judas Eskerot.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Jisu ih arah asih wanyi asuh amet baat rum ano daapkaat rumta: “Ranglajatte juungkhuung adoleh Samaria samthung maadoh uh nak kah an.
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
Erah nang ih bah, saapsah mala loong Ijirel mina jiin adoh kah an.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Kah an tumbaat kaat an, ‘Rangmong Hasong ah thok ih hala ih baatkaat an!’
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Khoisatte ah deesiit an, etekte ah ngaakthing thuk an, eput engam loong ah deesiit kah anno chiithih laakhah loong ah dokphan et an. Sen ih thaangmuh ih cholan, ah thaangmuh ih koh an.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [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].
Sen ih sen khaakdaap nah ngun akom, hun achaak adoleh jaansaang ngun nak hui an;
sen ih kunma khaak lahuitheng, adoleh samsong hedaap lahuitheng nyia lakhoop uh lahuitheng adoleh kiingthom uh lathutheng. Mootkaatte suh heh ih tumjih jamha rah ekot et ah.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
“Sen sam nah nyia hadaang nah thok an radoh, wang anno sen noppoonte ah chaak jam sok an, eno sen noppoonte wah nok adoh erah hah dowa maang dokkhoom khoom ih tong an.
Sen nok nah duungkhoom an radoh, ‘Semroongroong toomtong uh ih jengseera an.’
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Erah nok dowa mina rah ih sen ah tenroon lam ih noppoon hanbah, sen jengseera ah ban tongruh eah; enoothong lanoppoon ranbah, jengseera tan ah ngaaktoon et an.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Erah dam ih o ih neng nok nah adoleh neng hadaang nah lanoppoon ranbah adoleh sen jeng laboichaatka bah, erah hah adoh sen lah nawa bungwiik ah jaanak thiin anno dokkhoom an.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Ngah ih dangdang et baat rumhala, Dande Sa thok ha doh Rangte ih Sodom nyia Gomora ah baalaan minchan ah erah hadaang dowa mina loong nang ih bah ah!
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
“Boichaat an! Ngah ih sen loong ah so dung ni saap likhiik et daapkaat rumhala. Sen loong ah pu likhiik mongwah nyia wotuupi likhiik toongtang angtheng.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Ban sok ruh ih an, mih ih sen loong ah jokhak hanno mat hoon nok nah siitkaat han eno, Jehudi rangsoomnok nah buh kaat han.
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Nga thoi thoidoh sen loong ah teesuh luungwang loong ngathong nah siiwi kaat han, erah doh neng loong suh nyia Ranglajatte loong suh Ruurang Ese tiit ah baat an.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Sen maatok doh siiwi han, erah doh mame jeng ang nyia tumjih jeng baat ang ih lacho theng; saapoot thok haano, sen tumjih jengjih ah erah jeng thuk han.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Marah jengkhaap sen jeng an, erah jengkhaap ah, sen jengkhaap lah angthang ih; sen Wah moong achaang ih sen ah jeng thuk han.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
“Miloong ih nengphoh nengno ah mih lak nah tek haat thuk ah, hewah loong ah ih uh neng sah loong ah emamah et ah; heh sah loong ah nuh awah damdoh piiara ehoon ano tek haat thuk ah.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Warep ih sen ah nga tungthoidoh miksuk et han. Enoothong o mina ih hethoon tuk ih Rangte suh tuungmaangte loong aba puirum ah.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Sen hasiit nah siiwi han adoh, hahoh nah toonsoon kah an. Ngah ih amiimi baat rumhala Mina Sah raak ngah nah sen ih Ijirel hadaang loong adoh sen mootkaat ah tajen thoon moh kan ang an.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
“O noodek uh heh suh nyootte nang ih elong tajen angka; laksuh rah uh heh changte nang ih elong tajen angka.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Erah thoih noodek ah heh suh Nyootte likhiik ih hoontheng, eno laksuh rah heh changte likhiik ih hoontheng. Changka nawa phokhothoon asuh Beljibul et poon abah, heh jaatang asuh tang tumthan ethih et li ah!
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
“Erah thoih mih ra lacho theng. Marah amadi hoppat cho angla ah daap et ah, erah dam ih marah husah ni angla ah wuungsa nah dongjat ah.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Ngah ih laamang ni baat rumhala ah sen ih wuungsa nah we dong baat an, erah dam ih marah husah ni chaat han ah sen ih nok wokong nawa ih riingbaat jaat et an.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Hansi tek haatte ra ah nakcho an neng ih chiiala tajen tek haatka; erah nang ih bah Rangte ra cho an, heh ih ba hansi nyia chiiala soolam nah jen tek haat ah. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Wosiksak enyi ah sen ih phaasiit ngunsah ih reh han, ang abah uh wosiksak esiit taan uh sen Rangte jengkhaap muh doh tatiika.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Sen loong ah sen khoroon botseh uh rookwet cho.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Erah thoih sen lacho theng; sen ah wosiksak loong nang ih botseh uh thaangchaan thoon!
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
“O mina ih noksong dung nah nga heh mina ih chaanghang bah, ngah ih uh Rangmong nah seng wah nganah emamah ih chaang ang.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Enoothong o ih ngah noksong dung nah thaangju hang, Ngah ih uh Rangmong dowa seng Wah ngathong nah emamah ih thaangju ang.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
“Sen ih nakthun an ngah arah mongrep adoh semroongroong ang thuk suh heh raak koha eah. Emah tah angka, ngah semroongroong angsuh taraarang erah nang ih bah lang apah ba jahang.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Ngah ih heh sah loong ah neng wah damdoh miksuk muithuk suh, minusah loong ah neng nuh damdoh miksuk muithuk suh, neng nyam loong ah neng hopnuh damdoh miksuk muithuk suh ra tahang;
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
sen piiara ethithoon ah sen jaajaatang nawa ang ah.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
“O mina ih heh nuh heh wah ah nga nang ih ehan mongnook ha erah nga liphante angsuh tapunka; o mina ih heh sah ah nga nang ih ehan ih mongnook ha erah nga liphante angsuh tapunka.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
O mina ih heh bangphak ah hui ano ngah lih tajen phanrang erah mih ah nga liphante angsuh tapunka.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
O mina ih heh roidong puipang taat thunha erah ih mat haat et ah; enoothong o mina ih heh roidong ah nga raangtaan ih koh ah erah echoh eah.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
“O mina ih an noppoon halu erah ih ngah noppoon halang; eno o mina ih ngah noppoon halang erah ih nga daapkaatte wah ah noppoonha.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
O mina ih Rangte kaamwah ah noppoonha, tumeah heh ah Rangte kaamwah angthoi ah, heh uh erah thaang ah roong choh ah. Erah dam ih o mina ih kateng mina ah noppoonha tumeah heh ah kateng ang thoidi, heh uh erah thaang ah roong choh ah.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Eno o mina ih nga liphante loong suh joong taan jok thuk abah, tumeah neng ah nga liphante angthoi ah, neng uh erah thaang ah roong choh ah.”
