Mathiu 19
1 Jisu ih erah loong tiit ah thoonbaat korum ano, heh Galili nawa dokkhoom ano Jordan juung saangko ni Judia juungkhuung ko ih katta.
After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
2 Heh lini miloong hantek roong phankhoom rumta, loong ah thoontang deesiit rumta.
Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
3 Mararah Phirasi loong ah heh jiinni thokrum ano heh jeng matjoot suh phate cheng rumta, “Seng Hootthe jun ih miwah ih heh nusah tumjih thoidoh ang abah uh jen haat tamet ah?”
[Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
4 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Rangteele ni raangha rah sen ih tanih chowetan, haphangsong di Rangte ih mina ah minuh miwah ih hoonta.
Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
5 Rangte ih liita, ‘Erah raangtaan ih miwah rah ih henuh hewah ah thiinhaat ano heh sanuh damdoh room chosong ah, eno nengnyi ah esiit ih hoon ah.’
That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
6 Erah raang ih enyi takah angka esiit ih hoon nyu ah. Erah thoidi Rangte ih chosiit ha ah, o mina ih uh lapaak haat theng.”
Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
7 Pharisi loong ah ih heh suh cheng rumta, “Erah ang abah Moses Hootthe ih le ah raang ano haatmui theng ih tumet suh baatta?”
The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
8 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, Moses tokdi jen haatmui thuk tahan abah sen suh nyootsoot ah echaan angta. Enoothong haphangsong di bah emah tah angta.
He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
9 Eno bah nga ih baat rumhala, miwah o ih bah uh heh sanuh ah mih damdoh lathet reeka doh haat ano nuhoh we kap abah, erah mih ah eroomjup rangdah ah dala,”
I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
10 Heliphante loong ih heh suh li rumta, “Minuh miwah chamchi nah emah ang abah minuh lalaan kapka bah eseethoon angte.”
We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
11 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Erah jengkhaap ah mirep suh tapunka ang ah, mararah mina Rangte ih koha asuh ba jen ang ah.
Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
12 Tumeah mina ih minuh lakap thang ih tongla rah jaatrep thoidi: mararah mih ah daamhun ih tupla, rukho ah mih ih lanok muithuk suh lak hang ih hoonha, eno rukho ih bah Rangmong Hasong raangtaan ih minuh ah takapka. Arah nyootsoot hang ah o ih jen kap ah erah loong toom re ah.”
There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
13 Mararah miloong ih neng noodek Jisu jiinni heh lak ih taajoh ano rangsoom kotthuk suh siitjah rum taha, eno heliphante loong ah ih miloong kanja rumta.
Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
14 Jisu ih baatta, “Noodek loong ah nga jiinnah toom wang rumha nak haam an, tumeah rangmong Hasong ah arah noodek loong ah likhiik.”
But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
15 Heh ih noodek loong khoh adi taajoh ano dokkhoom kata.
Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
16 Saasiit mih wasiit Jisu jiinni wang ano chengta, “Nyootte,” “Ngah ih babah uh lathoonka roidong ah chosuh eseejih tumjih re ang doh se ah?” (aiōnios g166)
[As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
17 “Eseejih ah ngah suh tumet suh cheng halang,” Jisu ih ngaakbaatta. “Ese abah Wasiit luulu ba. An roidong chosuh li ubah Rangte jengdang loong ah naririh et kap uh.”
Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
18 “Tumjih jengdang loong ah?” heh ih chengta. Jisu ih baatta, “Mih nak tek haat uh; mih minuh damdoh nak roomjup uh, mihot nak huh uh; mih suh lathika doh nak nan uh;
The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
19 annuh anwah ah soongraang et uh; erah dam ih ankhuung antok ah an teewah thanthan ih minchan uh.”
honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
20 “Ngah ih erah jengdang loong ah abah thoontang ejen kap etang,” Changteng warah ih ngaakbaatta. “Jaat hoh ngah tumjih boot reejih ah?”
[Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
21 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “An rapne eseethoon angsuh li ubah, an nyamka ah sang uno ngun ah changthih loong suh pheekokaat uh, eno ba an ah rangmong nah changteng ang uh; erah lidoh nga lih ah phan raahang.”
Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
22 Erah chaat ano changteng wah ah thungjoong lam ih dokkhoom kata, tumeah heh nyamte angta.
When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
23 Erah lidi Jisu ih heliphante loong suh baatta, “Ngah ih amiitiit baat rumhala: changteng loong ah Rangmong hasong nah chowang suh rapne echaan ang ah.
Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
24 Ngah ih we baat rumhala: Changteng loong ah Rangte Hasong nah chowang nang ih bah mokchongdoot ah mikkaan po nah baalaan nopsoon ah.”
Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
25 Heliphante loong ah ih erah chaat rum ano rapne ih paatja rumta. “Erah ang abah, o ah piite angla?” neng ih chengta.
When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
26 Jisu ah nengko ih toonsok ano liita. “Mina raangtaan ih bah erah lajen angjih ta ang anih enoothong Rangte doh bah jaatrep ejen lang eah.”
[When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
27 Eno Pitar ah toonjengta. “Seng ih jaatrep ah thiinhaat ih no an lih ah phanhi. Eno seng ah mamah ang ih?
Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
28 Jisu ih baat rumta,” Roi Na thok ha doh Mina Sah ah chaan aphaan pan tongtheng adoh tong ah, eno Ijirel nawa asih jaatnyi ah pansuh nga liphante asih wanyi loong ah uh erah chaan aphaan pan tongtheng adoh roongtong rumha.
Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Erah damdi o mina ih henok hetap ah thiinhaat ano, adoleh hephoh henah, henuh hewah, hesuh hesah, hephek hephaang loong ah nga tungthoidoh thiinhaat abah, erah loong ah hantek ih choh ah, erah damdoh babah uh lathoonka roidong ah choh ah. (aiōnios g166)
[God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
30 Enoothong o mina amadi jaakhoh angte loong ah liwang ih hoon ah, eno amadi liwang angte loong ah jaakhoh ih hoon ah.
But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
