< Matthew 9 >

1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
Jisua rukuonga a chuonga, dîl râl rakânin a omna khopui tieng a kîr nôka,
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
mahan mi senkhat ngeiin phalkhatthi a jâlmun leh a kôm an hong rojôna. Jisua'n taksôn an dôntie hah a mua, phalkhatthipa kôm han, “Ka nâipasal rathanngam takin om roh! na nunsiengei ngâidam ani zoi,” a tia.
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Hanchu Balam minchupu senkhat ngeiin an mulungrîlin, “Hi mi hin Pathien a rilsiet kêng!” an tia.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Jisua'n an mulungrîla an mindon ngei hah a lei rieta, masikin an kôm han, “Ithomo ma anga neinun saloi hah nin mulungrîla nin mindon?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
‘Nu nunsiengei ngâidam ani zoi,’ nônchu, ‘Inthoi inla, lôn ta roh,’ ti hih kho hi mo a ti abai uol?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Miriem Nâipasal hih pilchunga nunsiengei ngâidam theina rachamneina a dôn, ti nangni lei min mu rong” a tia. Masikin phalkhatthipa kôm han, “Inthoi inla, na jâlmun luok inla, ni ina se ta roh!” a tipea.
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Ha mi hah ânthoia male a ina a se zoi.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Mipui ngei han maha an mûn chu, an chia, miriemngei kôma ma anga rachamneina pêkpu Pathien an minpâk zoi ani.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Jisua'n ha mun hah a mâka, a senân sum rusuongpu inkhat a riming Matthew an ti, a sukmuna ânsung lâitak a mua, a kôm, “Ni jûi roh,” a tipea. Matthew hah ânthoia, a jûi kelen zoi.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Jisua hah Matthew ina bu a nêk lâitakin, sum rusuongpu tamtakngei le mitelloi ngei an honga, Jisua le a ruoisingei dosânga bu an nêkpui ngei sa zoi.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Pharisee senkhat ngeiin maha an mûn chu a ruoisingei kôm han, “Ithomo nangni minchupu'n hi anga mingei leh bu a nêka hi?” tiin an rekel ngeia.
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Jisua'n an chong hah a lei rieta, an kôm han, “Mi dam ngeiin doctor nâng ngâi mak ngeia, mi damloi ngei vaiin kêng an nâng ngâi.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
Pathien lekhabu'n: ‘Lungkhamna kêng ku nuom, inbôlna sa ngei nuom mu-ung,’ a ti hih, se ungla a omtie va riet roi. Midikngei ralam ranga juong ni mu-unga, midikloingei ralam ranga juong kêng ki ni,” tiin a thuon ngeia.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Male, Baptispu John nûkjûi ngei Jisua kôm an honga, “Ithomo keini le Phariseengei hin bungêi kin tho bang ngâia, na ruoisingei rêkinte an ngêi tet ngâi loi?” tiin an rekela.
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Jisua'n an kôm han, “Inneina sâknêk thona taka khuolmingei hah moipumapa an kôm aom sûngin an beimindong rangin nin mindon mini? Ni thei no ni! Hannirese, an kôm renga moipumapa an tuong pai pe nikhuo la tung ata, ma tikin chu bu la ngêi an tih.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
“Tutên puon muruo hah puon thar hâr leh chitpho ngâi mak ngeia, puon thar hah inchirup ata, puon an ongna hah manêkin lien uol nôk atih.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Tutên uain thar savun ûm muruoa thun ngâi mak ngeia, thun ngân senla, uain thar han savun ûm hah mûtkhoi ata, uain le savun ûm hah mangnaboi chang atih. Manêkin chu uain thar chu savun ûm thara an thuna, an ruonin asa ngâi a tia.”
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Jisua'n hi chong hih a misîr lâitakin, Juda ruoipu inkhat a honga, a makunga, khûkinbilin a kôm han, “Ka nâinupang atûn renghan a thia; aniatachu hong inla, a chunga nu kut minngam inla, hong ring nôk a tih,” a tia.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Masikin Jisua ânthoia male a jûia, a ruoisingei khom ama leh an se sa.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Nuvengte inkhat kum sômleinik hulloia damloinu han Jisua nûka a honga male a puonmor a tôna.
Amanu nanâkin “A puon morte luo khom tôn inlang chu dam kelen ki tih,” a tia.
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Jisua ânhei titira male amanu hah a mua, a kôm, “Ka nâinupang rathanngam takin om roh! na taksônna hih na dampuina ani,” a tia. Ha mit misim kongkâr han nuvengtenu hah a hong dam zoi.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Hanchu, Jisua hah ruoipu ina han a lûta. Berlem tum ngâi ngei le mithi-uop mipui kuorchok omngei hah ava mûn chu an kôm han,
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
nin rêngin “Jôkpai roi! Nupangte hih athi nimaka, a in kêng!” a tia. Hanchu anni han ama hah an munuisana.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Hannirese, mipui ngei an notpai ngei suole harenghan, Jisua hah nupangte omna khâltana han a lûta a kut a sûr pea nupangte hah a hon thoi zoi.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Ma roi hah ma ram pumpuia han ânthang zit zoi.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Jisua'n ma mun hah a mâka, ava sên chu mitcho inikin an jûia, “David Nâipasal, inrieng mi mu roh!” tiin ân in-ieka.
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Jisua insûnga a lûtin chu, mitcho inik ngei hah a kôm an honga, male Jisua'n an kôm, “Nangni mindam thei ki tih, ti nin iem mo?” tiin a rekel ngeia. “O kin iem, Pu!” tiin an thuona.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Male Jisua'n an mitngei a tôna, an kôm, “Nin iem anghan nin chunga tung rese!” a tia.
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Hanchu an mit ahong vâr pe ngei zoi. Jisua'n, “Mahi tute kôm ril no roi!” tiin chong a be ngei sabaka.
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Hannirese, anni ngei hah an sea, ma ram pumpuia han Jisua chungroi hah an va mazarzit zoi ani.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Ha mingei hah an mâkin chu, mi senkhat ramkhori sûr chong theiloi inkhat Jisua kôm an hong tuonga.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Aniatachu ramkhori hah notpai ani suole, harenghan ma miriem hah a hong chong thei zoia, mi murdi'n an kamâm sabak zoi. “Israelngei lâia hima anga mi reng hih la mu ngâi mak me!” an tia.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Aniatachu Phariseengeiin chu, “Ramkhoringei an ulientakpa'n kêng Jisua hih ramkhori rujûl theina ranak a pêk ani hi,” an tia.
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Jisua'n khopuingei le khuo chîn ngeia a chai titira. Synagog inngeia a minchua, Rêngram Thurchi Sa a misîra, damloi murdi le natna jât tamtakngei a mindama.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Mipui ngei hah a mûn chu, a mulungrîla anni ngei inriengmunân a sipa, belringei ahôlpu boi angin, kângdoiin le san rang boiin an om anni sikin.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Masikin a ruoisingei kôm han, “Bu ât rang chu atam sabaka, aniatachu, a mintûp ranga sinthopungei chu tômte an ni.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Masikin a bu ât ranga sinthopu ngei a juongtîrna rangin bu pumapa kôm han chubai tho roi,” a ti.
