Luke 9
1 A hubat thlanghqa hlaihih ce ak khy coengawh, qaaikhqi hqek thainak ingkaw thlak tlo qoei sak thainaak ce pek khqi nawh,
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases.
2 Khawsa awithang leek kqawn aham ingkaw thlak tlokhqi qoei sak aham tyi khqi hy.
He sent them out 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.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staff, no wallet, no bread, no money, and no extra tunic.
4 Nami pahnaak im a hoei awh, ce a khaw ce nami cehtaak hlan dy awm poe uh.
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave.
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.
Wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
6 Cedawngawh, cet unawh khaw pynoet coeng pynoet awh awithang leek kqawn unawh thlak tlokhqi ce qoei sak uhy.
Then they departed and went through the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
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 about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had 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 others said that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
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.
Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who is this about whom I hear such things?” And so he tried 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.
When the apostles returned, they told him everything they had done. Then he took them with him, and they went away privately to a town 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.
But when the crowds heard about this, they followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed 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.
Now the day was about to come to an end, and the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and food, because we are here in an isolated 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 to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
14 (Vawh thlang thongnga awm uhy.) Cehlai a hubatkhqi na ce, “Thlang hakip hakip awh ngawih sak hloep hloep uh,” tinak khqi hy.
(There were about five thousand men.) He said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 A hubatkhqi ing thlang kqeng ce ngawih sak khqi hy.
So they did this, and made the people 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.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, he blessed them and broke them into pieces, and he gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17 A mingmih ing ai unawh a mi phyi coengawh ak ngen ce vawh hqa hlaihih na kawi uhy.
They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
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.
It came about while Jesus was praying by himself, the disciples were with him. He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say 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 answered, “John the Baptist. But others say Elijah, and others say that one of the prophets from long ago has risen.”
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.
Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
21 Ce akawng ce u aven awh awm amamik kqawn aham cekkhqi ce yn khqi hy.
But he strongly warned them to tell this to no one,
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 by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and he will be killed and on the third day be raised.”
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.
Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must 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.
Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
25 Thlang ing khawmdek pum ve ham mai seiawm a hqingnaak a hlawng awhtaw anih ham ikaw phu a taak?
What good is it for a person to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit himself?
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.
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his own glory, and the glory of the Father 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 say to you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before 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.
Now about eight days after Jesus said these words, he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
29 Ak cykcah awh a hai ce thaw qu nawh, a hi ce khawkphlamyihna vang hy.
As he was praying, the form of his face was changed, and his clothes became brilliant white.
30 Cawh thlang pakkhih Mosi ingkaw Elijah,
Behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
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 glorious splendor. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to completion in 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.
Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing 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.)
As they were going away from Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
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.
As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid 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.
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the one who is chosen; listen to 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.
When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37 A khawngawi awh tlang nakawng a mi kqum lawawh, thlang khawzah ing amih ce do uhy.
Now on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd 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.
Behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my 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.
You see, a spirit takes control over him and he suddenly screams; it causes him to have convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and it bruises him badly.
40 Na hubatkhqi venawh hqek pek a hamna thoeh hlai nyng, am hqek thai uhy,” tina hy.
I begged your disciples to force it out, but 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.
Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and depraved generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
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.
While the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back 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,
Then they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While they all were marveling at everything he was doing, he said to 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 words go deeply into your ears: The Son of Man will be betrayed 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 did not understand this statement. It was hidden from them, so they could not know its meaning, and yet they were afraid to ask about this statement.
46 A mingmih ak khuiawh u nu ak bau soeih na ak awm kaw, tinawh a hubatkhqi ak khuiawh oelh qu uhy.
Then an argument started among them about which of them would be the greatest.
47 Jesu ing a mingmih ak kawpoek ce a sim a dawngawh naasen ce lo nawh a venawh dyih sak hy.
But Jesus, knowing the reasoning in their hearts, took a little child and put him by his side
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 to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For whoever is least among you all is the one who is 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.
John answered, “Master, we saw someone forcing out demons in your name and we prevented him, because he does not follow along with us.”
50 Jesu ing, “Koeh kham pe uh, nangmih a ma nik oelh thlang cetaw nangmih ben thlang ni,” tinak khqi hy.
“Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “because whoever is not against you is for you.”
51 Khawk khan na amah ceh pyi aham a tym a zoe law awh, Jesu taw Jerusalem na cet hy.
When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he 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;
He sent messengers on ahead of him, and they went and entered into a Samaritan village to prepare everything 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.
But the people there did not welcome him, because he had set his face to 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.
When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them?”
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,
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.
and they went on 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.
As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
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.
Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds in the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere 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.
Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me 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.
But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim far and wide 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.
Then someone else said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say goodbye to those in my home.”
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.
Jesus replied to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
