Luke 11
1 At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
Amah a om vaengah a tue a pha tih hmuen pakhat ah thangthui. A thangthui bawt ah, a hnukbang pakhat loh Jesuh taengah, “Boeipa, kaimih he thangthui ham n'thuituen lah, Johan long khaw a hnukbang rhoek te a thuituen van,” a ti nah.
2 So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
Te dongah amih te, “Na thangthui uh vaengah, 'A pa na ming tah ciim pai saeh, na ram pai saeh.
3 give us day after day our bread for the day;
Khohhnin rhamhnin kaimih kah buh he amah khohnin ah kaimih m'pae lah.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
Kaimih kah tholhnah soah kaimih he n'hlah lah, kaimih khaw kaimih taengah laiaka ba boeih te ka hlah uh van dongah. Cuekhalhnah khuila kaimih n'khuen boeh, 'ti uh,” a ti nah.
5 And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say, "'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
Te phoeiah amih te, “Nangmih khuikah pakhat loh paya a khueh tih, ihdulh ah anih taengla cet mai ni. Te vaengah anih te, 'Ka paya, vaidam pa thum ah kai m'pu dae.
6 for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?
Ka paya yin lamkah kai taengla ha pawk tih, anih ham ka tawn pah khaw ka khueh pawh,’ a ti nah.
7 "And he from indoors shall answer, "'Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'
Te long khaw a khuiah a doo tih, 'Thakthaenah nen khaw kai n'toeh boeh. Thohka a khaih coeng, ka taengkah ka ca rhoek khaw ihnah dongla om uh coeng, nang paek ham ka tho thai mahpawh,’ a ti nah ni.
8 "I tell you that even if he will not rise and give him the loaves because he is his friend, at any rate because of his persistency he will rouse himself and give him as many as he requires.
Nangmih taengah ka thui, anih te a paya la a om dongah thoo cakhaw pae mai mahpawh. Tedae a paya te a calaak coeng atah thoo vetih a kuek yet te a paek ni.
9 "So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
Nangmih taengah ka thui, Bih uh lamtah, nangmih tem'paek bitni, toem uh lamtah na hmuh uh bitni, khoek uh lamtah nangmih ham a ong binit.
10 For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
Aka bih loh boeih a dang tih, aka toem loh a hmuh dongah aka khoek ham khaw a ong pah ni.
11 And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
Nangmih khuikah napa pakhat te a ca loh nga a hoe vaengah, nga yueng la rhul a doe aya?
12 or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
Aiduei hoe koinih a ca te saelkhui-ta-ai a paek aya?
13 If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
Te dongah nangmih a thae la aka om long pataeng, na ca rhoek te kutdoe then paek ham na ming uh atah, vaan lamkah pa loh muep a ming ngai dongah amah aka dawt rhoek te tah Mueihla Cim a paek ni,” a ti nah.
14 On once occasion He was expelling a dumb demon; and when the demon was gone out the dumb man could speak, and the people were astonished.
Rhaithae om tih a haek hatah olmueh la ana poeh pah. Te dongah rhaithae te vawl a caeh daengah olmueh te koep cal tih hlangping khaw a ngaihmang.
15 But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."
Tedae amih khuikah hlangvang loh, “Rhaithae boei Beelzebul rhangnen ni rhaithae a haek,” a ti uh.
16 Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.
A tloe rhoek loh a noemcai uh tih vaan lamkah miknoek te anih taengah a toem uh.
17 And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war rages goes to ruin: family attacks family and is overthrown.
Tedae amah loh amih kah kopoek te a ming dongah amih te, “Ram boeih he amah a paekboe atah poci tih, imkhui loh imkhui a paekboe thil atah cungku.
18 And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
Satan khaw amah neh amah paekboe uh koinih, metlam lae a ram a pai eh? Kai loh Beelzebul rhangneh rhaithae a haek na ti uh.
19 And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
Tedae Beelzebul rhangneh rhaithae te ka haek koinih, na ca rhoek long tah u rhangnen lae a haekuh. Te dongah amih te nangmih soah laitloekkung la om uh ni.
20 But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
Tedae Pathen kah kutdawn neh rhaithae te ka haek koinih, nangmih soah Pathen kah ram ha pai coeng.
21 "Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
Khangmai la aka nuet uh long ni a vongup te a hung tih a khuehtawn loh ngaimong la om van.
22 but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
Tedae anih lakah aka tlung ngai ha pawk vaengah tah anih te a noeng. Te vaengah a pangtung thil lungpok haica te a rhawt pah tih, a kutbuem a poelyoe pah.
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
Kai taengah aka om pawt tah kai aka koek ni. Kai taengah aka coi pawt loh a thaek.
24 "When a foul spirit has left a man, it roams about in the Desert, seeking a resting-place; but, unable to find any, it says, 'I will return to the house I have left;"
Mueihla thae tah hlang taeng lamkah a nong vaengah tuihang hmuen te a hil tih duemnah a tlap. Tedae hmuen a hmuh pawt vaengah, “Ka nong tak tangtae kamah im la ka mael ni, ' a ti.
25 and when it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in good order.
Ha pawk vaengah, im te nawt tangtae neh a khoem la a hmuh
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.
Te dongah cet tih amah lakah aka thae mueihla tloe parhih te a khuen. Te phoeiah a kun puei tih pahoi a om puei dongah tekah hlang kah a hnukkhueng tah lamhma kah lakah a thae la om,” a ti nah.
27 As He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, "Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked."
Te a thui vaengah hlangping khui lamkah huta pakhat loh ol a huel tih Jesuh te, “Nang aka yom bung neh aka cun rhang suk tah a yoethen,” a ti nah.
28 "Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Pathen ol aka ya tih aka tuem rhoek tah a yoethen ngai,” a ti nah.
29 Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that of Jonah.
Hlangping he a khawk vaengah a tong tih, “Tahae kah cadil tah rhaithae cadil ni, Miknoek te a toem uh dae Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek pae mahpawh.
30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a token to the present generation.
Jonah tah Nineveh ham miknoek la a om vanbangla, hlang capa khaw tahae kah cadil taengah om van ni.
31 The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.
Tahae cadil hlang rhoek taengkah laitloeknah ah tuithim manghainu te thoo vetih amih te a boe sak ni. Anih tah Solomon kah cueihnah hnatun ham diklai khobawt lamkah ha pawk. He ah he Solomon lakah aka khuet om ta he.
32 There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.
Ninevi hlang rhoek loh tahae cadil kah laitloeknah te a pai uh thil vetih a boe sak ni. Jonah kah olhoe neh a yut uh atah, he ah aka om he Jonah lakah khuet dae ta he.
33 "When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come in may see the light.
Hmaiim a tok te tanhnaem ah khueh pawt tih voh khuiah khaw a muek moenih. Tedae aka kun rhoek loh vangnah hmu van saeh tila hmaitung soah ni a khueh.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eyesight is good, your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective, your body is darkened.
Na mik tah na pum kah hmaiim ni. Na mik loh cilrhik la a om vaengah na pum boeih te cilping la om van. Tedae a thae la a om vaengah na pum tah hmuep van.
35 Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.
Te dongah ngaithuen, na khuikah vangnah te yinnah la poeh ve.
36 If, however, your whole body is penetrated with light, and has no part dark, it will be so lighted, all of it, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
Te dongah na pum te boeih vang tih cungvang ah a hmuep pakhat khaw a om pawt atah, hmaiim loh a aa neh nang n'tue vaengkah bangla phaeng aka vang la om ni,” a ti nah.
37 When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.
A thui vaengah, Pharisee loh a taengah buh ca la anih te a cael dongah kun tih a ngol puei.
38 Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.
Buh kungah khut a nuem lamhma pawt te Pharisee loh a hmuh tih a ngaihmang.
39 The Master however said to him, "Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.
Tedae Boeipa loh anih te, “Nangmih Pharisee rhoek loh boengloeng neh baelpuei kah a hmanhu tah na cil na poe coeng. Tedae na khuiah halhkanah neh halangnah ni aka bae.
40 Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
Hlang ang rhoek! a sohman ah aka saii loh a khui te khaw a saii moenih a?
41 But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you.
Tedae a khuikah aka om te doedannah la pae uh lamtah, nangmih ham boeih caih ni.
42 "But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.
Anunae nangmih Pharisee rhoek! Sungii, sungsing neh toian boeih tah na paek uh dae Pathen kah tiktamnah neh lungnah tah na hnalvaluh. Saii hamla a kuek te dalrha uh tak boeh.
43 Alas for you Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and you like to be bowed to in places of public resort.
Anunae nangmih Pharisee rhoek te! tunim kah ngolhmuen then neh hnoyoih hmuen kah toidalnah ni na lungnah uh.
44 Alas for you! for you are like the tombs which lie hidden, and the people who walk over them are not aware of their existence."
Anunae nangmih aih te, hlan bangla lumrhilumrha la na om uh dongah a sokah aka pongpa hlang loh ming pawh,” a ti nah.
45 Hereupon one of the expounders of the Law exclaimed, "Rabbi, in saying such things you reproach us also."
Olming pakhat loh Jesuh te a doo tih, “Saya, na thui te kaimih ni nan neet,” a ti nah.
46 "Alas too for you expounders of the Law!" replied Jesus, "for you load men with cumbrous burdens which you yourselves will not touch with one of your fingers.
Tedae Jesuh loh, “Nangmih olming rhoek khaw anunae, hlang rhoek te hnophueih neh phueihtloel la na nan uh tih, namamih tah na kutdawn pakhat nen khaw hnophueih te na ben uh pawh.
47 Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.
Anunae nangmih aih, tonghma rhoek kah phuel te na sak uh dae na pa rhoek long ni amih te a ngawn.
48 It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
Na pa rhoek kah a khuui la na om uh van dongah a khoboe te na rhoihuh. Tonghma rhoek te amih loh a ngawn tih nangmih loh phuel im na sak pa uh.
49 "For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'
Te dongah Pathen kah cueihnah long khaw, “Amih taengah tonghma rhoek neh caeltueih rhoek te ka tueih van vaengah, amih te a ngawn uh vetih a hnaemtaek bitni,” a ti.
50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.
Te dongah Diklai a tongnah lamkah tahae cadil rhoek loh a long sak tonghma rhoek kah a thii phu te boeih suk nawn saeh.
51 Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House, it shall all be required from the present generation.
Abel thii lamloh Zekhariah thii duela hmueihtuk neh im laklo ah ni a poci. Ue ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, tahae kah cadil taengah a suk bitni.
52 "Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered."
Anunae nangmih olming rhoek te, mingnah cabi na pom lalah namamih khaw na kun uh pawt tih aka kun rhoek te na kang uh,” a ti nah.
53 After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,
Te lamkah loh Jesuh vawl a nong phoeiah tah cadaek rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh mat a hmuhuet uh tih anih kawng te muep a cawh uh.
54 lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.
A ka lamkah ol khat khat neh tangkhuep ham amah te a rhongngol uh.
