Luk 6
1 Jehudi naangtongsa di Jisu ah phek ni chamtong ko ih tumkhoom kata. Heliphante loong ah ih raanteh ah thi rum ano, neng lak ni saasek leh, phak et rumta.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 Mararah Pharisi loong ih cheng rumta, “Sen ih tumjih et han seng Hootthe jun ih naangtongsa doh sen emah tajen re kan?”
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Dewid nyia heh joonte loong ih neng ram ih ti rumta adi tiim et rumta rah sen ih tanih wetan?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 Heh Rangteenok ni wang ano, Rangte suh kota baanlo ah toonphakta, eno heh mina loong suh nep kota. Erah uh seng Hootthe jun ih emiit angta, o mina reh uh tajen phaksata romwah ih luulu ba phaksata.
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 Eno Jisu ih thoonbaatta, “Mina Sah rah naangtongsa raang ih Teesu.”
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 Naangtongsa saahoh di Jisu ah Jehudi rangsoomnok ni kah ano nyootsoot rumta. Erah ni jaawako lakkoong ang arah mih wasiit angta.
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 Mararah Hootthe Nyootte nyia Pharisi loong ih Jisu ah tumjih doh lasah thetre ah ih thun rumta, erah thoidi naangtongsa doh mih maamok deesiit jaoh ih dangdang et ban sok rumta.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 Enoothong Jisu ih neng tenthun ah jat ano mih wasiit suh baatta, “Chap uh, ngakhoh ko ih raaho.” Eno erah wah ah toonchapta.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 Eno Jisu ih baat rumta, “Ngah ih cheng rumhala: seng Hootthe jun doh naangtongsa doh tumjijih ah jen re thuk he? Epang tam ah, ethet haat ah? Mih roidong ah epang tam ethet haat ah?”
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 Heh ah nengko ni lengsok ano heh lakkoong wah asuh baatta, “An lak ah janghaat uh.” Eno heh lak ah janghaat kano ese we ih ngaak hoonta.
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 Neng loong ah neng the ah saanghaat rum ano khah rumta eno neng chamchi ni waan rumta Jisu ah mamet ih eah.
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 Erah tokdi Jisu kongchoong ni wang ano Rangte rang pheetang ih soomwangta.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 Rang ah wuung ano, heliphante loong ah heh reeni lompoon ano neng dung nawa asih wanyi danjeeta, heh ih erah loong men ah kaamwah et menta:
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 Simoon (Heh ih Pitar et menta) erah damdi heh no Endriu; Jeems nyia Joon, Philip nyia Batholomi,
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Mathiu Thomas, Jeems ah Alphaeus sah, erah damdi Simoon (hadaang pangte ih poonta),
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 Judas ah Jeems sah, erah damdi Judas Iskerot, mih khuumtante ih hoonte warah ah.
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 Jisu kong nawa heh kaamwah loong damdi dat ra rumha di, heliphante hantek loong damdi hathung ni roong chapta. Miloong hantek erah di Judia hah noongrep nawa, Jerusalem nawa erah damdi juungkaang ko niiwa Tairi nyia Sidoon samnuthung dowa;
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 neng heh jeng boichaat nyia neng khoisat deesiit thuk suh thok rum taha. Chiithih laakhah ih paklakte loong anep ra rum taha enooleh de ih rumta.
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 Warep ih heh sak nah taajoot totoh thun rumta, tumeah heh sak nawa chaan kala rah ih mirep deetsiitta.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 Jisu ih heliphante loong ko ih sok ano liita, “Changthih loong ah tenroon ang an; Rangte Hasong ah sendi!
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 “Amadi ramtekte loong ah tenroon ang an; sen suh ekot et han! “Amadi ehuungte loong ah tenroon ang an; sen engit ean!
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 “Mina Sah tungthoidoh, sen mih ih miksuk halan, dut haat halan, kaanju ih halan, nyia ethih li halan adoh tenroon ang an!
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 Erah saakkaan ah thok ha doh sen tenroon lam ih wook anno boong an, tumeah sen raangtaan ih elong thaangchojih Rangmong Hasong ni thiinha. Nengte nengwah ih uh emamah Rangte tiitbaatte loong damdi thetre rumta.
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 “Enoothong amadi nyamte loong asuh tumthan echoojih ang ah; sendi tenroon roidong ah elang eta!
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 “Amadi laboot beete loong asuh tumthan echoojih ang ah; sen ramtek tok ethok eha! “Amadi engitte loong asuh tumthan echoojih ang ah; sen ehuung nyia moongjoong ean!
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 “Mina ih ese ih liite loong asuh tumthan echoojih ang ah; nengte nengwah reh uh emoong tiitbaatte suh emamah et li rumta.
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 Enoothong nga jeng boichaatte suh baat rumhala: sen piiara ah mongnook et an, sen miksukte damdoh ese ih re an,
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 sen tamte loong asuh romseetam koh an, sen siiwiite asuh rangsoom koh an.
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 O ih bah uh an the nah buh ho bah haangko the adoh we wak buh thuk uh; o ih bah uh an samsong toon ah, erah suh samsong ehoh bootkoh uh.
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 Mih ih an dowa tumjih suho erah kot et uh, erah damdoh mih ih an hukkhaak toon abah, nakmok ngaaksuh uh.
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 Mih ih an suh mame reekot theng ih jam hu emamah an ih mih suh reekoh uh.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 “An mongnook halu mina damdam adoh mongnook ubah, romseetam ah mamah ma ih choh uh? Emah bah rangdah mina loong bah lengkot mui rumla, hephoopho thaang ah we ngaakchosuh ah!
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 Ese reeraang ah an damdi ese reete loong damdam adoh mok re ubah, romseetam ah mamah ma ih choh uh? Emah bah rangdah mina loong reela!
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 An suh jen ngaakthemte ah sok uno luulu nam koh ubah, romseetam ah mamah ma ih choh uh? Erah thaang thaang ah ngaakchosuh bah, rangdah mina loong nep nam kotmui rumla!
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 Emah tah angka! Senpi senra loong ah mongnook anno neng damdoh ese ih re an; enam kot et an, eno engaak choh nak thuntak an. Eno ba sen thaang elong ah choh an, nyia sen ah Echoong Thoon Rangte suh asah ang an. Tumeah Heh ah lajak nyia jengse lajengte loong raangtaan ih uh ese.
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 Sen Wah tenthet jeela likhiik tenthet mina ang an.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 “Mihoh nak dande an, eno ba Rangte ih uh sen tadande ran; mihoh nak dut haat an, eno ba Rangte ih uh sen tadut haat ran; mih biin anaan et an, eno ba Rangte ih uh sen biin anaan et han.
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 Mih suh ekot et an, eno ba Rangte eh uh sen suh kohan. Amiisak ih, sen ehan ih ngaakchoh an, mih chosok thaang rah ah, sen ih mathan jenthaang an erathan—sen lak nah keekoja han. Marah saanthaak sen ih wahoh suh maak han erah saanthaak dowa ih Rangte ih sen ah maak han.”
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 Eno Jisu ih arah tiitthaak ah baat rumta: “Edook wasiit ih mihoh edook ah tami siitka; emah mok ang abah, wanyi nyi beng nah ba dat nyu ah.
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 O Leewette noodek ah Nyootte nang ih ejat tami angka; enoothong noodek thoontang ih, neng suh nyootsootta ah jen jat rumta no ba, Nyootte likhiik neng ejen lang erum ah.
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 Sen mik dowa bangtan ah lasamthun thang ih, Sen joonte mikmaang ehinsah ah mamet jam sok han?
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 Sen ih mamet mi li sen joonte suh ah, an mikmaang ah beeha, senteewah mik dowa bangtan ah laphang miisok kanbah ah? Sen lonoite loong! Sen mik dowa bangtan ah chaak dok haat anno ba sen pho senno mikmaang ehin ah samseksek mi samsok an, eno ba mi beek haat an.
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 “Bang se adoh tiikthih tatiikka, eno bangthih adoh uh tiikse tatiikka.
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 Bang ah hetiik tiikla dowa ih ba danjat ha; an ih puksak tiik ah subang nawa tachoh thiiko adoleh anggut tiik ah woma bang nawa tachoko.
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 Mina eseete ih heten hemong ni ese loong lomthiin ha dowa dong re ah; ethih mina rah ih heten hemong ni ethih lomthiinha ah dong noisok ah. Tumeah ten among ni tumjih jeela tuikhoop ni erah dongjeng ra hala.
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 “Ngah ih baat rumhala lare thang di ngah ah Teesu, Teesu,’ ih tumet suh poon hali?
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 O bah uh nga re nah thok haano nga jeng ah boichaat ano kap ah—eno erah mih ah mamah ang ah, ngah ih noisok rumha.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 Heh ah arah likhiik ang ah, o ih heh nok jong hah nah, halup ih thoh ano hoon arah likhiik ang ah. Juung ah nuung ano liim abah uh tamoka ang ah, tumeah erah rongkopkop ih hoonta.
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 Enoothong o ih bah uh nga tiit ah chaat ano laphanka bah erah ih heh nok naririh jong hah ni lahoonka likhiik ang ah; eno erah nok ah juungnuung tak ih sot kano laan rungdat ruh eah—eno tumthan echoojih ih bundat ah!”
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
