Luke 19
1 So He entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
2 There was a man there called Zacchaeus, who was the local surveyor of taxes, and was wealthy.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Zakkhaeus la a khue te lawt om. Anih tah mangmu boei neh kuirhang la om.
3 He was anxious to see what sort of man Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.
Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
4 So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to see Him; for He was about to pass that way.
Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
5 As soon as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house to-day."
Tekah hmuen la a pha vaengah Jesuh tah oeloe tih anih te, “Zakkhaeus, a loe la rhum, tihnin ah nang im ah ka naeh ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
6 So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.
Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
7 When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.
Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
8 Zacchaeus however stood up, and addressing the Lord said, "Here and now, Master, I give half my property to the poor, and if I have unjustly exacted money from any man, I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount."
A pai neh Zakkhaeus loh Boeipa taengah, “Boeipa, Ka khuehtawn he rhakthuem he khodaeng rhoek ka paek. Hlang khat khat kah hno khat khat ni ka rhawt pah bal atah rhaepli la ka thuung coeng he,” a ti nah.
9 Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too is a son of Abraham.
Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Anih tah Abraham capa la a om van dongah tihnin ah tah khangnah loh he imkhui la pai coeng.
10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Hlang Capa ha pawk he aka poci te toem ham neh khang ham rhoe pai ni,” a ti.
11 As they were listening to His words, He went on to teach them by a parable, because He was near to Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
Jerusalem a pha tom vaengah a yaak neh Pathen kah ram a tueng hamla cai tomlael coeng tila a poek dongah nuettahnah pakhat te a thap tih a thui.
12 So He said to them, "A man of noble family travelled to a distant country to obtain the rank of king, and to return.
Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
13 And he called ten of his servants and gave each of them a pound, instructing them to trade with the money during his absence.
Te dongah a sal hlangrha te a khue tih mina lungrha te amih taengah a paek. Te phoeiah amih te, ' Amah ka pawk hil thimpom uh,’ a ti nah.
14 "Now his countrymen hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, 'We are not willing that he should become our king.'
Tedae a pilnam rhoek loh anih te a hmuhuetuh. Te dongah amah hnukah laipai tloep a tueih uh tih, ' Kaimih soah a manghai ham he ka ngaih uh moenih,’ a ti na uh.
15 And upon his return, after he had obtained the sovereignty, he ordered those servants to whom he had given the money to be summoned before him, that he might learn their success in trading.
Ram te a loh tih amah ha mael vaengah tah tangka a paek a sal rhoek te amah taengla a khue tih metla a thimpom uh khaw ming hamla a dawt.
16 "So the first came and said, "'Sir, your pound has produced ten pounds more.'
Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
17 "'Well done, good servant,' he replied; 'because you have been faithful in a very small matter, be in authority over ten towns.'
Te vaengah anih te, ' Then, sal then a yit dongah uepom la na om tih, kho parha soah saithainah aka khueh la om laeh,’ a ti nah.
18 "The second came, and said, "'Your pound, Sir, has produced five pounds.'
Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
19 "So he said to this one also, "'And you, be the governor of five towns.'
Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
20 "The next came. "'Sir,' he said, 'here is your pound, which I have kept wrapt up in a cloth.
Te phoeiah pakhat loh ha pawk tih, ' Boeipa, nang kah mina tah himbaica khuiah ka khueh tih ka tung he.
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.'
Dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la na om dongah namah khaw kang rhih. Na khueh pawt te na phueih tih na tuh pawt te na ah,’ a ti nah.
22 "'By your own words,' he replied, 'I will judge you, you bad servant. You knew me to be a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:
Anih te tah, ' Na ka lamkah vanbangla nang taengah ol ka tloek ni, sal thae aw, kai he dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la ka om te na ming coeng. Ka khueh pawt te ka poh tih ka tuh pawt te ka ah het a?
23 why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back with interest?
Te vaengah balae tih ka tangka te caboei dongla na tloeng pawh. Kai ka pawk vaengah a casai neh ka dang kolo mako,” a ti nah.
24 "And he said to those who stood by, "'Take the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
Te phoeiah aka pai rhoek te, ' Anih taengkah mina te lo uh lamtah mina lungrha aka khueh te pae uh,’ a ti nah.
25 ("They said to him, "'Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
26 "'I tell you that to every one who has anything, more shall be given; and from him who has not anything, even what he has shall be taken away.
Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
27 But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"
Tedae amih soah kai manghai sak ham ngaih pawh ka rhal rhoek te pahoi hang khuen uh lamtah ka hmaiah ngawn uh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
28 After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
29 And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,
Olives tlang a ti uh taengkah Bethphage neh Bethany te vat a pha vaengah hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
30 saying to them, "Go into the village facing you. On entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie it, and bring it here.
“Rhaldan kah kho la cet rhoi, a khuila na kun rhoi vaengah laakca a pael te na hmuh rhoi ni. Te soah hlang ngol noek pawt dae hlam lamtah hang khuen rhoi.
31 And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"
khat loh nangmih rhoi te, 'Ba ham lae na hlam?' tila n'dawt atah, 'Boeipa loh a ngoe, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
32 So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
33 And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
laak ca te a hlam rhoi vaengah a boei loh amih rhoi te, “Balae tih laak ca te na hlam rhoi,” a ti nah.
34 and they replied, "The Master needs it."
Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
35 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
Te te Jesuh taengla a khuen rhoi. Te phoeiah laak ca te a himbai neh a khuk uh tih Jesuh te a soah a ngol sakuh.
36 So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
37 And when He was now getting near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began in their joy to praise God in loud voices for all the mighty deeds they had witnessed.
Olives tlang kah singling te a pha tom vaengah a thaomnah te hnukbang rhaengpuei loh pahoi boeih a hmuh uh. Te boeih nen te omngaih uh tih Pathen te ol neh rhuprhup a thangthen uh.
38 "Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
“Boeipa ming neh aka pawk manghai tah a yoethen, vaan ah ngaimongnah, thangpomnah tah a sangkoek ah om saeh,” a ti uh.
39 Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
Te dongah hlangping lamkah Pharisee hlangvang loh amah te, “Saya, na hnukbang rhoek te toel lah,” a ti nah.
40 "I tell you," He replied, "that if they became silent, the very stones would cry out."
Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
41 When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud over it, and exclaimed,
Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
42 "O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.
“Tahae kah ngaimongnah he nang long khaw tihnin ah na ming koinih, tedae na mikhmuh lamloh a thuh coeng.
43 For the time is coming upon thee when thy foes will throw up around thee earthworks and a wall, investing thee and hemming thee in on every side.
Khohnin loh nang taengla ha pawk vetih na rhal rhoek loh nang te vaam n'too thil ni. Te vaengah nang te n'dum vetih voeivang ah nang te ng'et ni.
44 And they will dash thee to the ground and thy children within thee, and will not leave one stone upon another within thee; because thou hast not recognized the time of thy visitation."
Te phoeiah namah neh na khuikah na ca rhoek te a hnaa uh ni. Namamih kah hiphoelnah tue te na ming pawt yueng, na khuikah lungto sokah lungto pakhat pataeng hmaai uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
45 Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive out the dealers.
Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
46 "It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."
Amih te, “'Ka im tah thangthuinah im la om ni, 'tila a daek coeng dae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah khuirhung la na saii uh,” a ti nah.
47 And day after day He taught in the Temple, while the High Priests and the Scribes were devising some means of destroying Him, as were also the leading men of the people.
Te phoeiah hnin takuem bawkim khuiah om tih a thuituen. Tedae khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh pilnam kah a congkhang long tah anih te poci sak ham a mae uh.
48 But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.
Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
