Luk 7
1 Jisu ih erah loong tiit ah miloong asuh thoonbaat ano, heh Kapernum ni katta.
After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
2 Erani Roman saahaap laksuh heh rapne ih mongnook arah esiit angta; erah mih rah rapne ih sat ano etek nanah angta.
There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
3 Saahaap rah ih Jisu raak ah chaat ano, heh ih mararah Jehudi mihak suh heh laksuh ah toom deesiit raaha ih poonkaat thukta.
When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
4 Neng loong ah Jisu jiinni ra rumha no heh lasih joot lam ih baat rumta, “Arah mina abah an ih chosok udoh ju se ah.
When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
5 Seng mina loong ah heh ih rapne ih nook hali erah damdi uh heh ih Jehudi rangsoomnok nep hoonkot kotahe.”
because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
6 Eno Jisu ah neng damdi roongwangta. Saahaap ih ma dowa poonkaat thukta erah nok dowa ih heh haloot ni tah angta, “Nyootte, an nak thaam chamnaang uh. Ngah ih an nga nok nah poon theethe tah angkang,
So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
7 adoleh nga teewah rah an re nah nga pupu ih jen chomui theethe tah angkang. An ih aadowa ih ba baat uh, eno bah nga laksuh ah ede eah.
I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
8 Ngah uh apit ni Elong saahaap loong lakhu ni esiit, eno nga khui ni raabante uh eje. Ngah ih erah loong asuh, ‘Kah uh!’ ih baatkang bah ekaat eah; ngah ih therah asuh, ‘Raaho!’ ih baatkang bah heh raak eha; erah damdi ngah ih nga laksuh asuh, ‘Arah re uh!’ ih baatkang bah heh ere eah.”
[I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
9 Jisu ah epaatja eta erah chaat ano ah; eno heh ngaakchaap ano heh lini khoomte loong asuh baatta, “Ngah ih sen suh baat rumhala, a likhiik ih tuungmaang arah babah uh tathaak jatkang, Ijirel hah loongtang ni botseh uh tajeeka.
When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
10 Jeng chaatte loong saahaap nok ni ngaakwang rum adi laksuh rah ejen de ih arah tupwang rumta.
When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
11 Erah damdam Jisu ah Nein samthung ni wangta, heh damdi mina loong nyia heliphante loong ah hantek ang rumta.
Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
12 Paathong ni thok damdam ih, mangbengte loong dokkhoom ra rumha ah chomuita. Etek ete wah ah thaknuh adi heh sah erah luulu angta, heh damdi samthung dowa miloong ah hantek ang rumta.
As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
13 Teesu ih erah nuh ah sok ano, heh tenthet dongta, eno baatta, “Nak huung uh.”
When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
14 Eno Jisu ah hengkhoom ano mangkhok ah taajota, eno mang piite loong ah tangchap rumta. Jisu ih baatta, “Jaaro! Ngah ih baat hala, Saat uh!”
Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
15 Etekte ah saattong ano neng damdi nep waantiitta, eno Jisu ih heh nuh suh kota.
The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
16 Neng loong thoontang echo damdi Rangte rangphoong rumta. “Elongthoon Khowah rah sengdung ni dong hala!” Neng ih liita, “Rangte ah heh mina pangsuh ra hala!”
Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
17 Jisu tiit ah erah dowa ih deek akaan nyia juungkhuung rep ni ruurangta.
[Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
18 Joon liphante loong ih heh suh jaatrep erah tiit loong ah baat rumta, eno heh ih neng dung nawa wanyi poonta,
The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
19 eno Teesu suh chengkaat thukta, “An tam angkoko Joon ih raak eha ih kabaatta rah ah, tam aleh seng ih wahoh banthoothak jih angka?”
So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
20 Neng Jisu jiinni thokrum ano cheng rumta, “Juungtemte Joon ih an suh cheng raang ih daapkaat hali heh ih banbaatta eraak ete eah erah ah an tam ang koko, tama seng ih wahoh banthoothak jih angka.”
When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
21 Erah tokdi Jisu ih mina loong ah neng khoisat, maasat, nyia Chiithih laakhah paan nyia edook ekoong loong deesiit tok angta.
At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
22 Heh ih Joon jeng chaatte loong asuh ngaakbaatta, “Sen ih tumjih tup han nyia chaat han rah Juungtemte Joon suh amet ngaakbaat wan an: edook ih tup et ha, ekoong ah ekhoom ela, eput engam loong esaasiit eta, naabaang ih echaat ha, etekte ah ngaaksaat eta, erah damdi Ruurang Ese tiit rah changthih loongdung ni baat et ha.
So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
23 Tumthan tenroon ah ngah suh mongchi lah angte loong rah ah!”
[Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
24 Joon jeng chaatte loong wangta lini, Jisu ih heh tiit ah miloong asuh we baat rumta: “Sen Joon damdoh phisaang hani wangtan adi, sen ih tumjih japtup ih ebanthun tan? Pong ih naam pheekmot arah tama?
When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
25 Tumjih japtup suh wangtan? Mih moongdong ih choom arah japtup suh tama? Emah ih choomchaakte loong abah kunuchangteng nok loong nah ba japtup an!
Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
26 Baat he, sen tumjih sok suh wangtan? Khowah sok tam? Elang eah, enoothong sen ih khowah nang ih elong ah tuptan.
Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
27 Joon ah Rangteele ni baat ha ah: ‘Rangte ih liita, ngah ih nga tiitbaatte sen nganah daapjah hang sen suh lamtan kot raang ih ah.”
He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
28 Ngah ih baat rumhala,” Jisu ih boot baatta, “Joon ah o nang ih uh elongthoon heh juuba dongta. Enoothong o Rangte Hasong ni ehinsah angla erah ah Joon nang ih elongthoon ang ah.”
I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
29 Warep ih heh jeng ah chaat et rumta; loongtang nang ih ehanthoon ah sokse seete loong ah ih Rangte amiisak tiit ah thang rumta eno neng juung uh Joon ih tem rumta.
When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
30 Enoothong Pharisi nyia Hootthe Nyootte loong ah Rangte mongtham neng raangtaan suh taat angta rah daan et rumta erah thoidi Joon juungtem uh daan rumta.
But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
31 Jisu ih toombaat ruh eta, “Eno bah Ngah ih tumjih doh toobaat ang aahaangwa mina loong ah? Neng ah tumjih likhiik angla?
[Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
32 Neng ah noodek loong thaangsang theng ni tong arah likhiik boh ah. Noodek dungsiitte loong ah ih dunghote suh riingbaat ah, ‘Seng ih kuhoon boongkaat saamtom koh ih, ang abah uh sen taboong kan! Mangboong ah seng taat boongti, ang abah uh sen tahuung kan!’
You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
33 Juungtemte Joon ah ra haano, kham uh lajok thang ih samurangsoom tongta, eno sen ih liitan, ‘Heh sak ni laathih pan eah!’
[Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
34 Mina Sah ah we ra haano heh ih jok phaksah, eno sen ih liihan, ‘Sok arah mih rah ah! Heh bah mangda nyia kham jokte boh ah, sokse seete loong nyia rangdah loong joonte boh ah!’
In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
35 Rangte thung atak ah, o mina loong ih kap hi loong sak dowa ih amiisak et noisok ah.”
But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
36 Pharisi wasiit ih heh nok ni Jisu rangja phaksat poonta, eno Jisu ah kah ano phaksat suh tong kata.
[One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
37 Erah samthung adi rangdah ni tongte minuh esiit angta. Minuh rah ih Jisu Pharisi nok ni cham saha ih chaat ano, phontum jongtek adi hemeesiit ih piijah taha
There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
38 eno Jisu reeni ehuung damdi heh lathong ko ih chap ra taha, eno heh mikse rah ih Jisu lah adi siimseeta. Eno heh khoroon ih hook hut ano, heh lah adi chupphakta, eno phontum rah ih lokta.
[As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
39 Pharisi warah ih erah tup ano, heh teeteewah suh liita, “Arah wah ah amiimi khowah angta bah, heh ih jat etjih angta, arah minuh ah tumjaat mih ih taajoh halang eah; heh ih jat etjih angta arah minuh ah tumthan rangdah lam ni tongsongla eah!”
When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
40 Jisu ih heh suh liita, “Simoon, ngah ih an suh jaatsiit baatjih jeela.” “Um, Nyootte,” heh ih liita, “Baat hang.”
Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
41 Jisu ih phangbaatta “Ehak di mih wanyi ih ngun namte wah dowa ngun nam nyuuta.” “Wasiit ih ngunkholok chaabanga namta, wasiit rah ih rook banga namta.”
Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
42 Eno nyi ih lajen ngaakthem nyu koka no, ngun namte kotte warah ih nyi dowa lakah ngaaksuh thang ih toohaatta. Erah ang abah, marah wah asuh, ehan minchan ah?”
Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
43 Simoon ih liita, “Ngah ih thun angdi ehan ih namte wah ah.” “An ih punbaat et hu, Jisu ih liita.
Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
44 Eno Jisu ah minuh ko ih leksok ano Simoon suh baatta, “An ih arah nuh ah tup tam et hu? Ngah an nok ni ra tahang adi, an ih ngah lah chot suh juung taban kotahang, arah nuh rah ih bah nga lah ah heh mikse ih chot hangno heh khoroon ih hook hut tahang.
Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
45 An ih ngah echupphak damdi taban thoothak tahang, eno arah nuh rah ih bah ra tahang dowa ih nga lah chupphak ah tatoohaatka.
You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
46 An ih ngah Olip bangthiing ih nga khoh ni tamook tahang, eno arah nuh rah ih bah nga lah ni phontum ih hut halang.
You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
47 Erah raang ih, ngah ih baat hala, erah than elong minchan heh ih noisok halang rah ih heh rangdah loong biin anaan etta. Enoothong o amasah biin anaanta erah suh amasah minchan noisok ah.”
So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
48 Eno Jisu ih minuh asuh baatta, “An rangdah loong ah biin anaan et halu.”
Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
49 Mihoh loong teebun ni tongte loong ah ih neng jengjeng eta, “O ah arah mih rah ah, mih rangdah nep biin anaante ah?”
Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
50 Eno Jisu ih minuh asuh baatta, “An tuungmaang ih puipang halu; semroonroong ih tong kah uh.”
But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
