Luke 9
1 A hubat thlanghqa hlaihih ce ak khy coengawh, qaaikhqi hqek thainak ingkaw thlak tlo qoei sak thainaak ce pek khqi nawh,
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 Khawsa awithang leek kqawn aham ingkaw thlak tlokhqi qoei sak aham tyi khqi hy.
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 A mingmih a venawh: “Lam awhkaw aham ikaw awm koeh khyn uh - sawnghqawl, sawngsa, phaihpi, tangka ingkaw angki zunghih koeh khyn uh.
And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 Nami pahnaak im a hoei awh, ce a khaw ce nami cehtaak hlan dy awm poe uh.
And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 Thlang ing a ma ni do khqi awhtaw, ce a khaw ce nami cehtaak awh nami khawpha awhkaw dekvai ce khawk sih uh,” tinak khqi hy.
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 Cedawngawh, cet unawh khaw pynoet coeng pynoet awh awithang leek kqawn unawh thlak tlokhqi ce qoei sak uhy.
And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Herod boei ing cawhkaw awithang ce za hy. Thlang vang ing, “Johan ce tho tlaih nawh ni,” ti uhy,
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8 thlang vang ingtaw, “Elijah dang law tlaih nawh ni,” ti bai uhy, thlang vang bai ingtaw, “Syn awhkaw tawngha pynoet oet hqing tlaih nawh ni,” tinawh kqawn uhy.
And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 Cehlai Herod ingtaw, “Johan ce a hawng tlyk hawh hlai nyng; vawhkaw awithang kang zaak ve a u bai hy voei nu?” ti hy. Cedawngawh anih ce huh aham ngaih hy.
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 Ceityihkhqi a ming voei tlaih coengawh, ik-oeih a mi saikhqi ce Jesu a venawh kqawn pe uhy. Cekkhqi ce Bethsaida a mi ti khaw na ce ceh pyi khqi hy.
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 Cehlai thlang kqeng ing sim nawh a hu awh hquut uhy. Cekkhqi ce ym nawh a mingmih a venawh Khawsa qam akawng ce kqawn pek khqi nawh, cekcoengawh thlak tlokhqi awm qoei sak khqi hy.
And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 Khaw a nung keeng awhtaw thlanghqa hlaihih tloek ce a venna law unawh, “vawhkaw thlang kqeng ve khaw ceng khaw cawi awh tyi khqi hlah, buh a an ingkaw ih a awmnaak sui na u seh, ningnih ce kqawng lakna nik awm uni,” tina uhy.
And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13 Anih ing, “Nangmih ing ai kawi ce pe uh,” tinak khqi hy. A mingmih ing, thlang vezah aham buh a an am nik thlaih peek mantaw - phaihpi cun nga ingkaw nga pakkhih doeng ni a awm hy,” tina uhy.
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14 (Vawh thlang thongnga awm uhy.) Cehlai a hubatkhqi na ce, “Thlang hakip hakip awh ngawih sak hloep hloep uh,” tinak khqi hy.
For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 A hubatkhqi ing thlang kqeng ce ngawih sak khqi hy.
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Phaihpi cun nga ingkaw nga pakkhih ce lo nawh khan benna hang mang nawh, zeel awi ak kqawn coengawh ek hy. Thlang kqeng a haiawh toen peek aham a hubatkhqi venawh pehy.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 A mingmih ing ai unawh a mi phyi coengawh ak ngen ce vawh hqa hlaihih na kawi uhy.
And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18 Hypoet taw Jesu ing amah doeng ak cykcah awh, a hubatkhqi ce a venawh awm usaw doet khqi hy, “Thlangkhqi ing kai ve u nu a mi ti?” tinak khqi hy.
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 Cekkhqi ing, “Thlang vang ing 'Baptisma ak pekung Johan,' ti unawh, thlang vang ing, 'Elijah,' ti uhy, thlang vang bai ingtaw, 'Syn awhkaw tawngha pynoet oet ak tho tlaih ni,' ti uhy,” tina uhy.
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 Cawhtaw, ami venawh, “Nangmih ingtaw kai ve u nu nami ti?” tinak khqi hy. Piter ing, “Nang taw Khawsa a Khrih ni,” tina hy.
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 Ce akawng ce u aven awh awm amamik kqawn aham cekkhqi ce yn khqi hy.
And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing;
22 Thlanghqing Capa ing khuikhanaak hu kawmsaw a hqamcakhqi, khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing hoet kawm uh, him kawm usaw am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23 Cekcoengawh a mingmih boeih a venawh, “U ingawm ka hu awh bat ham a ngaih awhtaw, amah ingkaw amah ce hoet qu seitaw, myngawi na amah a thinglam ce kawh doena ka hu awh bat law seh.
And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24 Ikawtih, u awm a hqingnaak hul ham ak ngaih ingtaw hlawng seitaw, u awm kai ak camawh a hqingnaak ak hlawng ingtaw a hqingnaak ce hul kaw.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 Thlang ing khawmdek pum ve ham mai seiawm a hqingnaak a hlawng awhtaw anih ham ikaw phu a taak?
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26 U awm kai ingkaw kak awi ak chah pyi taw, Thlanghqing Capa ing amah a boeimangnaak, a Pa a boeimangnaak ingkaw khan ceityih ciimcaihkhqi a boeimangnaak ing ami law awh anih ce chah pyi lawt kaw.
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and [in his] Father’s, and of the holy angels.
27 Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, vawh ak dyi thlang vangkhqi ing Khawsa qam a huh hlan dy thihnaak amak tan hly awm uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 Ve ak awi ak kqawn coeng ak kqeet nyn awh, Jesu ing Piter, Johan ingkaw Jakob ce khy nawh tlang na cykcah aham van pyi khqi hy.
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 Ak cykcah awh a hai ce thaw qu nawh, a hi ce khawkphlamyihna vang hy.
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering.
30 Cawh thlang pakkhih Mosi ingkaw Elijah,
And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 ce boeimang soeih na dang nih nawh Jesu ingqawi awi pau uhy. Jesu a lam ceh Jerusalem awh a soep naak hly ce kqawn uhy.
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Piter ingkaw a pyi qawi taw ip uhy, a ming hqyng law awhtaw a boeimangnaak ing a venawh thlang pakkhih ak dyi ce hu uhy.
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 Cawhkaw thlang qawi ing Jesu ceh taak hlah sih a ni ti awh, Piter ing, “Bawipa, vawh awmnaak ham hyn leek soeih hy, buk pakthum awh heen sih - pynoet ce nang aham seh, pynoet ce Mosi aham seitaw pynoet bai ce Elijah aham seh,” tina hy. (Kaw ak kqawn ti awm am sim hy.)
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 Awi ak kqawn huili awh, myi than law nawh a mingmih ce zawl khqi khoep hy, myi ak khuina a mi lut awh kqih uhy.
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 Myi ak khuiawh kawng awi law nawh, “Vetaw ka Capa kak tyh ni; ak awi ngai pe uh,” tihy.
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 Cawhkaw awi ce a sit coengawh, Jesu amah doeng caa ce hu uhy. A hubatkhqi ing cawhkaw ik-oeih ce khoem dym unawh a mi huh ik-oeih ce a u a venawh awm ap kqawn pe uhy.
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37 A khawngawi awh tlang nakawng a mi kqum lawawh, thlang khawzah ing amih ce do uhy.
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38 Thlang kqeng ak khuiawh kaw thlang pynoet ing, “Cawngpyi kung, ka capa na toek law ham ni ngaih na nyng, ka capa ka taak dyn na awm nawh.
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39 Ngai lah, qaai ing tu nawh, khy hoeih hoeih hy, a cimtui ang tlaak doena dek awh tluuk sak nawh a phep qee coengawh ceh taak hoeih hoeih hy.
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40 Na hubatkhqi venawh hqek pek a hamna thoeh hlai nyng, am hqek thai uhy,” tina hy.
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41 Jesu ing, “Aw cangnaak amak takhqi ingkaw amthin amak cak cadil tloek, iqyt nu ka ni awm pyi khqi nawh ka ning yh pyi khqi kaw? Na capa ce vena law pyi lah,” tina hy.
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42 Naasen ce a law pyi hui awh qaai ing dek awh tluuk sak nawh ak tlo na phep qee hy. Cehlai Jesu ing qaai ce zyi nawh, naasen ce a qoei sak coengawh a pa a venawh pe tlaih hy.
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43 Thlang boeih ing Khawsa a boeimangnaak ce kawpoek na kyi sak uhy. Jesu a them saithainaak awh a mik kawpoek a kyi hui awh, Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh,
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Awi kqawn law vang nyng, ak nep na ngai lah uh: Thlanghqing Capa ve thlang a kut awh tu sak kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45 Cehlai ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce am zaksim pe uhy. A mingmih ang zaksim kawi na a ma awm a dawngawh, am khoem thai uhy, amah ce doet aham awm kqih koek uhy.
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46 A mingmih ak khuiawh u nu ak bau soeih na ak awm kaw, tinawh a hubatkhqi ak khuiawh oelh qu uhy.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47 Jesu ing a mingmih ak kawpoek ce a sim a dawngawh naasen ce lo nawh a venawh dyih sak hy.
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48 Cekcoengawh a mingmih a venawh, “U awm vawhkaw naasen ve kai ang ming ing ak ym taw kai a nik tyikung ce ak ym na awm hy. Nangmih boeih ak khuiawh ak zawi soeih na ak awm ce ak bau soeih na awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49 Johan ing, “Bawipa, thlang pynoet ngawh nang ang ming ing qaai a hqek ce hu u nyngsaw kham pe u nyng, kaimih ak khuiawh kaw thlang na a ma awm a dawngawh,” tina uhy.
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 Jesu ing, “Koeh kham pe uh, nangmih a ma nik oelh thlang cetaw nangmih ben thlang ni,” tinak khqi hy.
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51 Khawk khan na amah ceh pyi aham a tym a zoe law awh, Jesu taw Jerusalem na cet hy.
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52 Laipaikhqi ce haina tyi hy, ik-oeihkhqi qoek a bah aham a mingmih ce Samari khawk khui pynoet awh cet uhy;
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53 cehlai Jerusalem khaw na ceh phaat aham ang cai a dawngawh cawhkaw a mik awm thlangkhqi ing anih ce am do uhy.
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54 A hubat qawi Jakob ingkaw Johan ing cemyihna a mi awm ce a ni huh awh, “Bawipa, a mingmih ve hqe aham khawk khan nakaw mai (Elijah ing ak khy myihna) khy sih aw?” tina hy nih.
And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55 Cehlai Jesu ing cekqawi ce hawi sih nawh zyi qawi hy. (Kawmih ak kawpoek nu nani taak tice am sim hy nik ti).
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56 (Thlanghqing Capa ve thlang a hqingnaak hqe aham am law nawh, hqingnaak hul aham nani a law, tina qawi hy.) Cekcoengawh khawk chang na cet pahoei uhy.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.
57 Lam na a mi ceh awh thlang pynoet ing a venawh, “Na cehnaak a hoei awh bat lawt vang nyng,” tina hy.
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 Jesu ing a venawh, “Ngentangkhqi ing a mik kawk ta unawh phakhqi ingawm a ming bu ta uhy, cehlai Thlanghqing Capa ingtaw a lu a tloengnaak hun kangna awm am ta hy,” tina hy.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
59 Thlak chang a venawh, “Ka hu awh bat law,” tina hy. Cehlai cawhkaw thlang ing, “Ka pa a qawk khoem cang vang,” tina hy.
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Cehlai Jesu ing a venawh, “Thlak thi cetaw ak thi khqi ing khoem ngoen seh, nang taw cet nawh Khawsa ram ce kqawn lah,” tina hy.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 Thlak chang pynoet bai ing, “Na hu awh bat bit kawng nyng, cehlai ka cakaw paqengkhqi phih a qaa cang vang nyng,” tina hy.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 Jesu ing a venawh, “U awm laikawk thawlnaak awh a kut ta nawh hu benna ak mang taw Khawsa qam thlang nih am tlaak hy,” tina hy.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
