1 Cawh Jesu taw Sabath nyn awh lo awhkawng cet hy. A hubatkhqi ing amik phoen cawi nawh caangvui ce dy unawh ai uhy.
At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the cornfields; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.
2 Farasikhqi ing ami huh awh, a venawh “Toek lah, Sabath nyn awh sai aham amak ciim ce na hubatkhqi ing sai uhy,” tina uhy.
But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath.
3 Cehlai, a mingmih a venawh, “David ing a pyikhqi mi amik phoen a cawih awhkaw ik-oeih ami sai ce namik noet khawi nu?
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 Anih ing Khawsa ipkhui na lut nawh, khawsoeihkhqi doeng ing ami ai khawi phaihpi ce, amah ingkaw a pyikhqi ing a mami ai hly kawi phaihpi ami ai ce?
how be entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Sabath nyn awh tempul khuiawh khawsoeihkhqi ing Sabath am zeih hlai uhy, coet akap kaana ami awm ce, anaa cabu khuiawh am nami noet khawi nawh nu?
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?
6 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi bawkim anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here.
7 Bulnaak anglakawh qeennaak ni ka ngaih,' ti ak awi ve naming zaaksim mantaw, ak awm moel moel ak thlang ce am thawlh sak hlai voei uk ti.
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Kawtih thlanghqing Capa taw Sabath Bawi na awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
9 Ce a hyn ce cehta nawh, a mingmih a Sinakawk khuina ce cet hy,
And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:
10 cawh kut ak kheem thlang pynoet ce ana awm hy. Jesu ce thawlh amik puk thainaak aham, “Sabath nyn awh thlak tlo qoei sak ve ak caih nu?” tinawh doet uhy.
and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
11 A mingmih venawh, “Nangmih ak khuiawh thlang pynoet ing tuu pynoet ta mai lah seh, cawhkaw a tuu ce Sabath nyn awh lawkkhqawng na ang tlaak mantaw am na mik dawk hly aw?
And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 Cawhtaw thlanghqing ve tuu anglakawh izah nu a phu a awm khqoet! Cedawngawh Sabath nyn awh ik-oeih leek sai ve thym hy,” tina hy.
How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
13 Cawhkaw thlang venawh, “Na baan ce zyng lah,” tina hy. Anih ing a baan ce a zyng awh a kut ce akut langben amyihna leek pahoei hy.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.
14 Cehlai Farasikhqi taw cawn unawh ikawmyihna nu amah ve ni him naak thai lah voei, tinawh doet qu uhy.
But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all,
16 anih a u nu tice a mamik kqawnnaak aham yn khqi hy.
and charged them that they should not make him known:
17 Tawngha Isaiah ing anak kqawn awi ce a cupnaak thai aham vemyihna awm hy:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 Ve ve ka tyihzoeih thlak tyh, lungna nawh ka ym soeih ni; kang Myihla ce ak khan awh ta kawng nyngsaw, anih ing thymnaak ram tawm awh kqawn kaw.
Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles.
19 Anih taw am tlaai kawmsaw khy awm am khy kaw; lam awh anih ak awi ce u ingawm am za kaw.
He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.
20 Anih ing thymnaak ing a noeng hlandy, paipoeng akawng ak pleep ce ap kqai poet kawmsaw, thut awhkaw maikhu awm am thi zip kaw.
A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 Ang ming awh qam tawm thlang ing ngaih-unaak ta kawm uh, a ti ceni.
And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw.
23 Cawhkaw ak awm thlang kqeng ce a ming ngaih kyi nawh, “Ve ak thlang ve David a capa hy voei nu?” ti uhy.
And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this the son of David?
24 Cehlai Farasikhqi ing ce ak awi a ming zaak awh, “Ve ak thlang ing ve qaai boei Belzabub ak caming ni qaaikhqi a hqek,” tina uhy.
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 A mingmih ak kawpoek ce Jesu ing sim nawh a mingmih a venawh, “Kawmih a qam awm ak khuiawh a ming phekbo qu awhtaw am dyi thai hy.
And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 Setan ing Setan ce a hqek mantaw, amah ingkaw amah qaal qu nawn kawm nih saw ikawpna a qam ang dyih thai kaw?
and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
27 Kai ing Belzabub ak caming qaaikhqi ka hqek awhtaw, namik thlangkhqi ing u ak caming nu qaaikhqi ami hqek lawt?
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
28 Kai ing Khawsa Myihla ing qaaikhqi ce ka hqek awhtaw Khawsa qam taw nangmih ak khan awh pha hawh hy.
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.

Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man], and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]? and then he will spoil his house.
30 Kai ama nik bawng taw kai anik qaalnaak thlang na awm nawh, kai ama nik cawipyi taw ak thehkung na awm hy.
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 U awm thlanghqing Capa ak kqawnseet taw qeenkhaw ngai na awm hlai moe, Ciim Myihla ak kqawnseet taw tuh awm, ak law hly kawi a tym awh awm qeenkhaw ngainaak am awm kaw. (aiōn g165)
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
33 ”Thing ak leek awhkawng thaih leek qah nawh, thing ak che awhkawng thaih che qah lawt hy, ak thaih awhkawng thing ce sim uhy.
Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.

Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Thlak leek ing a ik-oeih leek ak khui awhkawng a ik-oeih leek ce hawlaw nawh, thlak che ing a ik-oeih che ak khui awhkawng ik-oeih amak leek ce hawlaw lawt hy.
The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:
40 Kawtih Jonah taw ngak bau ak phoen khuiawh hyp thym ingkaw than thum awm hy, cemih lawtna thlanghqing Capa awm dek khuiawh awm lawt kaw.
for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Nenivi khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi ce vawhkaw cadilkhqi mi awidengnaak khawnyn awh dyi haih kawm usaw cekkhqi ing dawk sak kawm uh; kawtih cekkhqi taw Jonah ak awih kqawnnaak awh zut uhy, ngai lah uh, Jonah anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 Khan ben nakaw Sangpahrang nu ce ve canukhqi mi awidengnaak nyn awh dyi haih kawm usaw anih ing vekkhqi ve dawk sak khqi kaw; kawtih anih taw Solomon a cyihnaak awi ak ngai na khawmdek a dytnaak nakawng law hy; ngai lah uh, Solomon anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 “Thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng qaih che ce ak cawn coengawh, tui ama awmnaak hunkhqi na cet nawh dymnaak ce sui hy, cehlai am hu hy.
But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
44 Cedawngawh vemyihna tihy, 'ka cehtaak im na hlat tlaih vang nyng,' ti hy. Ang hlat tlaih awh im ak caihping ak hoeng ce hu hy.
Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Amah anglakawh ak che khqoet qaaikhqi ce kun pyi nawh, cawh awm uhy. Cawhtaw ce ak thlang ce ak cyk awh kawng lak awh nauh khqoet hy. Cemyihna vawhkaw thlak che cadilkhqi venawh awm lawt kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.
46 Jesu ing thlang kqeng a venawh awi ak kqawn huiawh a nu ingkaw a koeinaakhqi ce a venawh awi kqawn aham a leng na dyi uhy.
While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
47 Thlang pynoet ing a venawh, “Na nu ingkaw na koeinaakhqi ing na venawh awi kqawn aham a leng na dyi uhy,” tina hy.
And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.
48 Cehlai awi ak kqawn peekkung a venawh, “Ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi ce ukhqi nu? tina hy.
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 A hubatkhqi ce a kut ing khi nawh, “Vekkhqi ve ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi hawh ni!
And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!
50 U awm khawk khan awhkaw ka Pa ak kawngaih ak sai boeih taw ka koeinaakhqi ingkaw ka nu na awm hy,” tina hy.
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
