Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was at a certain place praying, and, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him: “Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”
Saasiit hah esiit ni Jisu ih rangsoomta. Eno erah thoonsoom adi, heliphante wasiit ih heh suh baatta, “Teesu, seng suh rangsoom nyoot he, Joon ih heliphante loong suh kanyootta likhiik ah.”
2 “When you pray,” Jesus answered, “say — ‘Father, May thy name be held holy, thy Kingdom come.
Jisu ih baat rumta, “Sen ih rangsoom an doh, ame jeng an: ‘Ewah: An men esa ah toomphoong ho; an Hasong toom raaha.
3 Give us each day the bread that we shall need;
Seng suh roijang phaksat ah kohe.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who wrongs us; and take us not into temptation.’”
Seng rangdah ah biin anaan he, seng ih uh seng damdi thetreete loong ah biin anaan et ih. Eno seng thisusuh ih nak phate thuk he.”
5 Jesus also said to them: “Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
Eno Jisu ih heliphante suh baatta, “Jengthaak ah sen jiiwah nok nah mottom doh kah anno taat suh kah thaak an, ‘Nga jiiwah ngah suh baanlo loojom than nam kohang.
6 for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer him;’
Nga nok ni nga jiiwah wen nawa amadi thok hala, eno ngah di phaksat heh suh kottheng taan uh tajeeweeka!’
7 And suppose that the other should answer from inside ‘Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything’;
Eno jengthaak ih an jiiwah rah ih nokmong nawa ih toom ngaakbaat thaak ho, ‘Nak paklak raahang! Kaasak ejen tangsak etang, seng nga saloong ejen jup eli. An suh tumjaat kot suh uh, tajen saat kang.’
8 I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
Eno bah mamah angtheng ah? Ngah ih baat rumhala an jiiwah mendi heh ih baanlo ah tajen kotaho, ang abah uh an ih larakri thang ih laat suruh et ubah heh saat ano an ih tumjih sutu erah ekot eho.
9 And so I say to you — Ask, and your prayer shall be granted: search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
“Erah raang ih ngah ih baat rumhala: Cheng et uh, eno ba an choh uh; ejam et uh, eno bah an ih chojam uh, erah damdoh erengdok et uno ba an suh kaasak ah daap koho.
10 For he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
Tumeah o ih cheng ah erah mih choh ah, erah dam ih o mina ih jam ah erah ih chojam ah, nyia kaasak ah o ih rengdok ah erah suh ba daap koh ah.
11 What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
Sen heh wah angte loong ah ih sen sah ih nyasi suh handi pu ni koh an?
12 or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Adoleh wotih suh hanbah siingngaangraang ni koh an?
13 If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those that ask him!”
Tumthan ih thih ubah uh, an sah suh ese jih ah mamet kottheng abah ejat et hu. Erah ang abah, rang niiwa sen Wah rah ih tang, Esa Chiiala ah tumthan ehan koh ah o ih heh dowa chengha asuh ah!”
14 Once Jesus was driving out a dumb demon, and, when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke. The people were amazed at this;
Jisu ih engong juungbaan ah dokphanta, eno juungbaan ah doksoon kano, engong ah phang dongjengta. Eno miloong ah paatja ih rumta,
15 but some of them said: “He drives out demons by the help of Baal-zebub, the chief of the demons”;
enoothong mararah mina ih li rumta, “Arah bah Beljibul boh ah juungbaan loong luungwang rah ah, heh suh neng jen dokphan theng chaan kotcho boh ah.”
16 while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
Rukho loong ah ih Jisu heh matjoot chungta, erah thoi ih neng ih heh suh epaatjaajih Rangte reeraang ah noisok he ih baat rumta.
17 Jesus himself, however, was aware of what they were thinking, and said to them: “Any kingdom wholly divided against itself becomes a desolation; and a divided house falls.
Ang abah uh Jisu ih jat etta neng ih tumjih thunha rah loong ah, eno li rumta, “Marah deek akaan neng chamchi ni pheetong ano rookmuila loong ah roitang tatongka; changka siit ah pheerook ano tong abah ethet eah.
18 So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Baal-zebub.
Erah raang ih juungbaan hasong adoh uh neng chamchi nah pheerook ano tong abah, mamah jen ih chengtong ah? Sen ih li hali ngah ih juungbaan dokphan hang chaan ah Beljibul luungwang ih koha eah.
19 But, if it is by Baal-zebub’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they shall themselves be your judges.
Ngah ih dokphan hang ah emah ang abah, sen liphante loong ih mamet dokphanta? Sen liphanteete loong ih jatthuk ha sen ah emoong lan eah!
20 But, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom of God must already be upon you.
Emah tah angka, arah bah Rangte Chaan nawa ih Chiithih laakhah loong dokphan hang, eno erah ih jatthuk halan Rangte Hasong ah sen reeni jen thok ih taha eah.
21 When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
“Maradoh tathat mina ih, helang hepah pan ih, heh nok ah ban sok abah, heh damdi tumjih jeela loong ah pi eah.
22 but, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
Enoothong heh nang ih tathat wahoh ih mok we jen abah, heh laalom theng helang hepah loongtang soonpi ano pheekokaat ah.
23 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not help me to gather is scattering.
“O mina nga miksukte loong ah nga raangtaan tah angka; o mina ih nga tachosok rang erah loong ah phaangjaang eah.
24 No sooner does a foul spirit leave a man, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’;
“Laathih ah mina sak nawa doksoon ano, deek akaan hookpakpak adoh heh naangtong theng jam sokkah ah. Eno heh ih esiit uh lachoh jamka bah heh ih heh teeteewah suh li ah, ‘Nga nok nah ngaakwang ang.’’
25 but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
Eno heh ngaak wang ano nok ah saachamcham khookham cho et tupwang ah.
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first.”
Eno we ngaak kah ano heh damdoh laathih sinet boot poonkah ah heh nang ih uh ethithoon ang arah ah, eno neng erah nok adoh tongwang ah. Eno bah erah mina ah jaakhoh nawa nang ih ehanthoon ih thih arah ang ah.”
27 As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed: “Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!”
Jisu erah baatta adi, midung ni minuh esiit jengta eno Jisu suh baatta, “Tumthan tenroonjih ah an dongtupte nyi an koonchaate rah ah!”
28 But Jesus replied: “Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s Message and keep it.”
Enoothong Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Erah thaknang ih bah, tumthan tenroonjih ah o mina ih Rangte jeng ah chaat ano kap ete loong rah ah!”
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus began to speak: “This generation is a wicked generation. It is asking a sign, but no sign shall be given it except the sign of Jonah.
Miloong ih Jisu ah kookchap rum adi, heh ih liirumta, “Ahaangwa mina loong ah tumthan ethih ah! Neng ih epaatjaajih cheng rum halang, enoothong epaatjaajih o suh uh takokang Joona suh kotang aju ang ah.
30 For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so shall the Son of Man be to this generation.
Khowah Joona ah Ninewe mina loong raangtaan suh nyootsok theng angta likhiik, mina Sah rah uh ahaangwa mina loong raangtaan ih nyootsok theng ang ah.
31 At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
Dande sa doh wangchaanuh Siba ih ahaangwa mina loong ah chamnaang thuk han, tumeah heh ah hedeek nawa luungwang Solomon jatwah jengkhaap chaat thok hala; eno ngah ih baat rumhala Solomon nang ih elong ah aani.
32 At the Judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
Dande sa doh Ninewe mina loong ih sen ah chamnaang thuk et han, tumeah neng ah rangdah nawa ngaaklek eta Joona ih Rangte tiit baatta ah kap rum ano ah; eno ngah ih amiimi tiit baat rumhala adi Joona nang ih uh elong ah seng damdi!
33 No one sets light to a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under the corn-measure, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that any one who comes in may see the light.
“O ih uh weetook ah kaangtook ano tekmong nah tahuthiinka; erah nang ih bah, hethiin thengnah ba thiin ah, eno ba nokmong ni wangte mina ah khom kaangtook ah.
34 The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.
Sen mik ah sen sak raangtaan ih weephaak likhiik. Sen mik ah ese ang abah, sen sakpuh weephaak ang ah; enoothong sen mik ah laseeka bah, sen sakpuh ah laamang nah ang ah.
35 Take care, therefore, that the inner Light is not darkness.
Naririh ih thun an, erah ang abah, sen sak nawa weephaak ah laamang maamok angja oh.
36 If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.”
Sen sakputang ih weephaak nah ang abah, sen sak marah nah uh laamang tah angka, kaangjaaja ba ih phaak ah, weetook ih kaangtook ho di kah ang ah likhiik ah.”
37 As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at table.
Jisu ih tiit ah thoonbaat kano, Pharisi wasiit ih heh nok ni phaksat poonta; eno heh phaksat suh roongtong kata.
38 The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
Jisu ih laktiimuh ih phaksah arah sok ano Pharisi ah paatja eta.
39 But the Master said to him: “You Pharisees do, it is true, clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are filled with greed and wickedness.
Eno Teesu ih heh suh liita, “Eno bah, Pharisi sen loong ih bah sen khuung akhaak nyia sen lokkep khaplang ah rangkhoh ah ba saachot han, enoothong sen mong ni bah changrook nyia ethih loong tenthun ah meela.
40 Fools! did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
Thungko ah loong! Rangkhoh hoonte wah Rangte ih, heh mong uh heh ih tanih hoonta?
41 Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
Enoothong sen lokkep nyi tek akhuung ni tumjih jeela rah changthih suh koh anbah, jirep ah an suh esa we ih hoon ah.
42 But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen Pharisi loong asuh ah! Sen ih Rangte suh hekuung di khokileeso asih thiik uh ekot et han, jengthaak ih pochiina erah damdi uh jaat hoh mesih chaangtiik anep kohan, ang abah uh sen Rangte minchan nyia sen epun tenthun ah maat haat et han. Sen ih erah loong ah, marah uh lamaat haat thang ih reejih.
43 Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the Synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen Pharisi loong asuh ah! Sen ih rangsoomnok ni tongtheng ese ah ban thiin thuk suh nook lan, eno thaangsang thengnah uh mirep ih soomtu suh nook lan.
44 Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”
Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen suh ah! Sen loong ah mangbeng theng ni lajat thang ih khoomte mina loong likhiik.”
45 Here one of the Students of the Law interrupted him by saying: “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.”
Hootthe Nyootte wasiit ih heh suh liita, “Nyootte, an ih erah jenglu adi seng nep wak kaanju hali!”
46 But Jesus went on: “Alas for you, too, you Students of the Law! You load men with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Sen Hootthe nyootte loong raangtaan ih uh tumthan echoojih ang ah! Sen ih mih tamkhoni huijih ah lajen huitheng et huthuk han, eno sen ih neng huijih ah roong chaang hui suh sen laktiik taan uh tajanghaat kan.
47 Alas for you! You build the monuments of the Prophets whom your ancestors killed.
Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen suh ah! Sen ih khowah loong mangbeng theng ah jaaseemoong ih hoonhan—erah khowah loong ah ih senwih sente tek haatte lek ang kano ah.
48 You are actually witnesses to your ancestors’ acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the Prophets, you build tombs for them.
Sen ih sen teeteewah ih noisok han, senwih sente tumjih reeta rah ah; neng ih khowah loong tek haat et rumta, eno sen ih neng mangbeng nok loong ah hoonkoh han.
49 That is why the Wisdom of God said — “I will send to them Prophets and Apostles,
Erah thoih Rangte mongtham ese rah ih liita, ‘Ngah ih neng suh khowah nyia kongphaak baatte loong daapkaat ang; eno neng ih rukho ah tek haat rukho ah echamnaang toom et rum ah.’
50 some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the ‘blood’ of all the prophets ‘that has been spilt’ since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation —
Erah raang ih amah dowa mina loong asuh chamchojih ang ah teewah haphangsong di khowah loong tek haat rumta thaang rah ah,
51 From the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the House of God.” Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
Abel phangtek haat rumta dowa ih Jekaria tek haat rumta tuk ih, marah Roomthong nyi Esa hah chamchi ni tek haatta rah ah. Elang eah, ngah ih baat rumhala, ahaangwa mina loong ah erah loong thaang ah cham thuk rum ah!
52 Alas for you Students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of Knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in.”
“Tumthan echoojih ang ah sen Hootthe nyootte loong asuh ah! Sen ih thung atak kaasak laang theng chaabi ah sen lak ni thiinhan; erah di sen teeteewah uh tawangkan, eno mihoh taat wangkah bah uh sen ih tanghaam et han!”
53 When Jesus left the house, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely upon many subjects,
Jisu erah dowa dokkhoom kata, Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharisi loong ih heh ah ethih ethih ih chikram rumta eno jaatrep jengkhaap cheng rumta,
54 laying traps for him, so as to seize upon anything that he might say.
heh jeng lasah moong jengla, mat et joh suh ih thun rum ano ah.
