1 Eno we boot baat rumta, “Ngah ih baat rumhala, Rangte Hasong chaan aphaan lam ih raaha ah maang japtup ngah khoh nah arah dowa rukho ah maang tekte eje ang an.”
He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
2 Sa arok lini Jisu ih Pitar, Jeems nyia Joon ah siit ano, kongchoong ni neng luulu wang rumta. Neng miksok di Jisu, ah choocho ih lek arah sok rumta,
A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
3 henyuh hekhat ah pungkoopkoop ih dong phaakta erah than ih puungta o eh uh arah hatoh adoh erathan tajen puung chotka.
His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
4 Erah lilih heliphante wajom ih Elija nyi Moses Jisu damdi waan arah japtup rumta.
[Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
5 Pitar ih Jisu suh baatta, “Nyootte, tumthan ese ah seng aani ang ih no ah! Seng ih nyutaap ejom than buk ih, esiit ah an raangtaan, esiit ah Elija raangtaan, esiit Moses raangtaan.”
[After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
6 Pitar nyia wahoh loong ah rapne ih cho rum ano Pitar ah mame jeng suh uh taseeta.
[He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
7 Erah lilih jiingmuung ih neng loong ah loopjota, eno jiingmuung mong ni dongjeng ra taha, “Arah ngah di nga mongnook Sah miimi—heh jengkhaap chaat an!”
Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
8 Neng ih seek taat lengsok rum adi, o uh tajeeta; Neng damdi Jisu chap arah laklak tup rumta.
When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
9 Neng kong ni dat ra rumha di Jisu ih baat rumta, “O suh uh nak baat an sen ih tumjaat tuptan rah ah, mina sah tek nawa maang ngaaksaatka ngakhoh nah ah.”
While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
10 Neng ih heh jeng ah thang et rumta, ang abah uh neng chamchi ni bah erah tiit ah waan ruh ih rumta, “‘Tek nawa ngaaksaat’ ah tumjih suh liita?”
So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
11 Eno neng ih Jisu suh chengta, “Hootthe nyootte loong ih Elija jaakhoh raaha ih tumet suh liita?”
[The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
12 Jisu ih ngaak baatta, “Elang eah jaakhoh Elija aju raaha, jaatrep ban khookham raang ih ah. Enoothong Rangteele ni tumet suh liita Mina Sah ah rapne ih cham ah thaangju nep et rum ah eah?
[Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
13 Nga ih baat rumhala, Elija ah jen ra ih taha eno mina loong ah ih neng ih mamet thunta erah jun ju re rumta, heh tiit ah Rangteele ni raangha likhiik ah.”
14 Neng heliphante rukho loong ah damdi chokhoom wang rum adi, miloong hantek ih kookchap rum ano Hootthe nyootte loong damdi daanmu rum arah japtup rumta.
[Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
15 Miloong ah ih Jisu ah tup rum ano paatja rumta, eno heh reeni soonkah rum ano jengseera rumta.
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
16 Jisu ih heliphante loong suh cheng rumta, “Tumjih tungdi neng damdi daanmui lan?”
He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
17 Mih dung ni wasiit ngaakjengta, “Nyootte, ngah ih an jiinni nga sah chiithih laakhah pan, heh jeng nep mah arah siitkaat halang.
A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
18 Chiithih laakhah pat adi heh teewah ah hah ni loongdat ano heh tui nawa tookwu ah dong, heh pha ah chektat ano kah laatdat ah, erah raang ih an liphante loong suh chiithih laakhah taat dokphan thuktang, eno tajen dok phan rumta.”
Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
19 Jisu ih liirumta, “Mamah lajen hanpi ehan mina sen loong ih ah! Ngah sen damdoh jaatjaat mathan ma jen roong tonghang? Ngah sen damdam mathan ma jen reehang? Noodek ah nga jiinnah siitwan han!”
Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
20 Eno Jisu jiinni siitwan rumta. Erah damdam laathih rah ih Jisu ah tup ano, noodek ah hah ni loonghaat ano laatdat thukta, eno lengkoong ano heh tui ni tookwu loong ah dong eta.
So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
21 Jisu ih heh wah asuh chengta, “Arah likhiik ih sa mathan dowa ih angla?” “Noodek dowa ih dook,” heh warah ih ngaak baatta.
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
22 “Chiithih laakhah rah ih helek helek we nyia juung ni tek haat suh taatwoot chung ha. Minchan ih weehe, an tenthet nawa ih jen lang abah ah!”
[The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
23 Jisu ih heh wah suh liita, “An teeteewah ih jen lang eah ih liihu bah ah! Tuungmaang ete raang ih bah jaatrep ejen lang eah.”
Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
24 Erah damdam heh wah ah huung ano jengta, “Ngah etuungmaang elang, enoothong ehan tajen tuungmaang kang. Ehan ih tuungmaang suh chosok weehang!”
Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
25 Jisu ih miloong tukhoom ah sok ano, chiithih laakhah asuh baatta. “Engong nyia ebaang chiiala” “Nga ih an suh baat hala arah noodek sak dowa dokkhoom hoono babah uh nak kah ngaak wang uh!”
Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 Chiithih laakhah ah riinghuung ano noodek ah loonghaat thiinta, eno that that ih moh tekthuk ano heh ah doksoon kata. Noodek ah tekmang likhiik ih hoonta, eno warep ih liita, “Etek ela abah ah!”
The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
27 Eno Jisu ih noodek ah heh lak ih toonhoom ano chap thukta.
However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
28 Jisu nokmong ni nopkhoom adi heliphante loong ih hucheng rumta, “Seng ih laathih ah mamah lajen dokphan eti?”
Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
29 Jisu ih baat rumta; “Aa likhiik chiithih laakhah ah rangsoom nawa luulu ih ba jen dokphan ah,” “Jaat hoh tumjih nawa reh uh tajenka.”
He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
30 Jisu nyia heliphante loong erah dowa Galili hadaang lam ih wang rumta. Jisu ih heteewah maani ah ih wahoh suh tajat thukta,
After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
31 tumeah heliphante loong suh tiitwaan nyootsoot rumta; “Mina Sah rah mih lak nah tek haat et suh jokoh rum ah. Enoothong sa jom lih nah, we ngaakthing eah.”
[anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
32 Erah jengkhaap nyootta rah heliphante loong ih tumjih suh liita ih tasamjat rumta, heh suh huk cheng ra uh echo ih rumta.
But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
33 Neng Keparnam hadaang ni thokrum taha, eno nokmong ni nop rumta lidi Jisu ih heliphante loong suh chengta, “Sen loong lam ni tumjih tungdi daanmui tan?”
Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
34 Neng ih tangaak baat rumta, tumeah neng chamchiini lam ni elongthoon ah o ah erah tiit tungdi daanmui rumta.
But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
35 Jisu ah tong ano asih wanyi heliphante loong ah poon rum ano baat rumta, “O ih phangkhothoon angsuh nook an erah lithoon nah angtheng eno heh ah loongtang laksuh angjih.”
He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
36 Eno heh ih noodek wasiit neng loong ngathong ni chap thukta. Heh lak ih khonjoh ano baat rumta,
Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
37 “Oih arah noodek loong ah nga mendoh noppoon an, erah ih ngah poon halang; eno oih ngah noppoon halang, erah ih nga laklak tanoppoon rang, nga daapjatte ah anep wak noppoonha.”
“Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
38 Joon ih heh suh baatta, “Nyootte, seng ih an mendi mih wasiit ih chiithih laakhah loong ah dokphan arah japtupti eno tanghaamti, tumeah heh sengjoon tah angta.”
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
39 “Nakmok tanghaam an,” Jisu ih baat rumta, tumeah o mina ih nga mendoh epaatjaajih loong ah jen re abah, liwang nah erah mina rah nga miksukte tah angka ang ah.
Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
40 O mina seng miksukte tah angka loong ah seng raangtaan ih ang ah.
Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
41 Ngah ih ami tiit baat rumhala, nga mina angkan no o ih sen suh juung jok thuk han erah mih ah amiisak heh thaang ah choh ah.
Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
42 Arah noodek loong ah ih ngah suh hanpi rum halang ah oih bah uh mok thetsiit rum ah, erah mina rah heh boh adoh jong ah bonchi ano juungsih nah mah abah ese ang ah.
[Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
43 Erah raang ih sen lak ih sen tuungmaang ah matsiit abah, thadook haat et an! Lak hop mabah uh lametka we adoh roitang ih khaamwang nang ih bah lakko ih mabah uh lathoon roidong adoh chowang ah ese ang ah. (Geenna g1067)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
44 Erah nah ‘neng phakte soot ah babah uh tatiika, nyia neng khaam theng we ah babah uh tametka ang ah.’
45 Sen lah ih sen tuungmaang ah mok matsiit abah, thadook haat et an! Lah hop roitang we nah khaamwang nang ih bah lah ko lathoonka roidong adoh chowang ah ese ang ah. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 Erah nah ‘neng phakte soot ah babah uh tatiika, nyia neng khaam theng we ah babah uh tametka ang ah.
47 Erah damdi sen mik ih dah thuk halan bah, doklot haat et an! Rangmong Hasong nah mikko ih wang ah ese ang ah mik hop ih roitang we nah khaamwang nang ih bah ah. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
48 Erah ni, ‘Neng phakte soot ah babah uh tatiika nyia neng khaam theng we ah babah uh tametka ang ah.’
In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
49 “Mireprep ah we nawa ih saasook ah sum ih siik hoon theng saasiit arah likhiik ah.
“[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
50 “Sum ah ese; enoothong sumwaan ah sa abah, sen ih mamah we ih miingaak sumthuk an? “Joonte damdoh sum likhiik angtheng, eno warep damdoh semroongroong in songtong theng.”
Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
