Luke 9
1 Jesus called the twelve disciples together. He gave them power and authority over all demons, and the ability to heal diseases.
Jesus in a nungzui sawmleni te sia munkhat ah sam a, doai ngilo theampo tung ah ahizong, natna te damsak tu in ahizong, a vanglian thuneina pia hi.
2 Then he sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick.
Tabang in Pathian kumpingam thuhil tu le cina te damsak tu in paisak hi.
3 “Take nothing with you for the journey,” he told them. “No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even any extra clothes.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Na khualhaw natu uh in bangma keng heak vun, ciangkhut ahizong, thung a hizing, anluum ahizong, dangka ahizong; puansil ni ahizong in keng heak vun.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there, and when you leave, leave from there.
Koibang innsung ah na tum uh zong in, mundang na pai kik uh mateng tua inn ah tam nginge vun.
5 If people refuse to accept you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave town as a warning against them.”
Khat po note hong sang ngawl te sia, tua khua pan na pusua uh ciang in, na peang uh tung ah leivui te thin vun a, tate sia amate langpang in tetti te hi tu hi, ci hi.
6 They left and went around the villages, announcing the good news and healing everywhere they went.
A nungzui te pai uh a, khuapi khat zawkciang khat pai in lungdamna thupha tangko uh hi, taciang mun theampo ah cina te damsak hi.
7 Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was happening, and he was very puzzled. Some were saying that John had been raised from the dead;
Ngam uk Herod in Jesus na vawt te a zak ciang in, thin ngim mama in om uh hi, banghangziam cile pawlkhat te in John hong thokik hi, ci uh hi.
8 others that Elijah had appeared; still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
Mi pawlkhat te in, Elijah hong kilang zo hi; ci uh a, taciang ngualdang te in nidanglai kamsang te khat papo thokik hi, ci uh hi.
9 Herod said, “There's no question I beheaded John. So who is this man? I'm hearing all these things about him.” And he tried to find a way to meet Jesus.
Herod in John i ngawng ka tan sa hi: ahihang hibang thu ka zak sia a kua ziam? ci a, mu nuam mama hi.
10 When the apostles returned they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he left with them and went to a town called Bethsaida.
Sawltakte hong cia kik uh ciang in, amate vawt theampo Jesus tung ah son uh hi. Jesus in amate sia senneal om na mun Bethsaida ngamsung ah a tuam in paipui hi.
11 However, the crowds found out where he was going and followed him there. He welcomed them and explained the kingdom of God to them, and healed those who needed healing.
Taciang mipi te in a heak uh ciang in, zui uh a, Jesus in amate sang uh hi, taciang Pathian kumpingam thuhil uh a, damna a kisam te damsak uh hi.
12 Late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “You should send the crowd away now so they can go to the villages and farms nearby and find a place to stay and food to eat—there's nothing here where we are.”
Ni tum tu kuan ciang in, nungzui sawmleni te Jesus kung ah hongpai uh a, mihonpi te khuapi sung le a kiimkot ngam tatuam ah pai in, ngia natu mun le an zong tu in paisak in: banghangziam cile eite senneal ngam ah i om hi, ci uh hi.
13 “You give them something to eat!” said Jesus. “All we have here are five loaves and two fish—unless you want us to go and buy food for everyone,” they said.
Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Note in amate neak tu pia vun, ci hi. Amate in, hi mihing theampo atu pai in an lei ngawl in hileang, anluum nga le ngasa ni simngawl bangma i nei bua hi; ci uh hi.
14 There were about five thousand men present. “Sit them down in groups of about fifty,” he told his disciples.
Banghangziam cile amate sia pasal bebek tul nga kiim pha uh hi. Jesus in nungzui te tung ah, Amate sawm nga, sawm nga pawl in tosak vun, ci hi.
15 The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
Tabang in a nungzui te in a sonbang in vawt uh a, a vekpi in tosak uh hi.
16 Jesus picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed the food and broke it into pieces. He kept on giving the food to the disciples to share with the people.
Taciang Jesus in anluum nga le ngasa ni la a, vanlam en in thupha a piak zawkciang, phel a, mihonpi hawm tu in nungzui te kung ah pia hi.
17 Everybody ate until they were full, and then twelve baskets of leftovers were collected.
A vekpi khamtak in a neak tek zawk uh ciang in, a neakmong a val teng tawm uh a, bawm sawm le bawm ni dim hi.
18 At another time, when Jesus was praying in private with just his disciples with him, he asked them, “All these crowds of people—who do they say I am?”
Jesus ama nguak thu a nget laitak in, a nungzui te a kung ah om uh hi: taciang amate tung ah, Ngual in keima kua hong ci uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
19 “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others say one of the ancient prophets risen from the dead,” they replied.
Amate in, tuiphumpa John; ahihang pawlkhat te in Elijah; hong ci uh hi, a dang pawlkhat te in, nidang lai kamsang khatpo hong thokik hi, hong ci uh hi, ci in zo uh hi.
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” “God's Messiah,” Peter replied.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Ahizong note in kua nong ci uh ziam? ci in a dok ciang in, Peter in, Pathian i Christ na hihi, ci in zo hi.
21 Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anybody about this.
Taciang Jesus in tua thu kuama tung son ngawl tu in thupia a, a khotak in amate vaitha hi;
22 “The Son of man must experience terrible sufferings,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the religious teachers. He will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again.”
Mihing Tapa in tam mama thuak hamtang tu hi, taciang upa te, thiampi lian te le thukhamhil te in nial tu uh a, that tu uh hi, taciang nithum a cin ciang in thokik tu hi, ci hi.
23 “If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me,” Jesus told all of them.
Jesus in a vekpi tung ah, A kuamapo ka nung hong zui nuam le, ama le ama ki nial hen a, ama thinglamte nisim pua in, hong zui tahen.
24 “For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.
Banghangziam cile a kuamapo in, ama nuntakna a ngum nuam peuma sum tu a: ahihang keima atu in, a nuntakna a sum peuma nungta tu hi.
25 What do you benefit by gaining the whole world if you end up lost or destroyed?
Mihing khat in leitung buppi a nei hial zong, ama nuntakna sum in bo hile, bang phattuamna om tu ziam?
26 If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
Banghangziam cile, khatpo in keima le ka thu atu in a maizum le, mihing Tapa sia Ama, Pa le a thiangtho vantungmi te minthanna taw hongpai ciang in, mihing Tapa in zong ama atu maizum pui veve tu hi.
27 I tell you the truth, some standing here won't taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
Ahihang, a mantak in kong ci ciang, hisung mun ah a ding pawlkhat te, Pathian kumpingam a mu uh mateng, thina tep tha ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
28 About eight days later, after he had told them this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.
Hi thu te a son zawk ni liat ni ciang in, Peter, John le James te sam a, thungen tu in mualtung ah kato tek uh hi.
29 While he was praying, his face changed in appearance, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
Thu a nget laitak in, Jesus a maitang meal kikheal a a puan te taang in te liang hi.
30 Two men appeared in brilliant glory. They were Moses and Elijah, and they began to talk with Jesus.
Taciang, en vun, mi ni in paupui hi, tuate sia Moses le Elijah te a hi uh hi:
31 They spoke about his death, which would soon happen in Jerusalem.
Amate sia vangletna taw kilang a, Jerusalem ah a thi natu le a nasep a khuangkhim na tu thu son uh hi.
32 Peter and the others were asleep. When they woke up they saw Jesus in his glory, and the two men standing next to him.
Ahihang Peter le a kung a omte sia mutnuam mama uh a: a khuaphaw kik uhciang in, Jesus vangletna le a dinpui mi ni te mu uh hi.
33 As the two men were about to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's great to be here. Let's make some shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He really didn't know what he was saying.
Amate Jesus kung pan a pai zawk uh ciang in, Peter in Jesus kung ah, Topa, hi mun ah om leang pha hi: buk thum sa tawng; khat nangma atu, khat Moses atu, khat Elijah atu, ci hi: Peter in bang son ci zong tel ngawl hi.
34 While he was speaking a cloud came and spread over them. They were terrified as they entered the cloud.
Tabang a pau laitak in, meingo in amate tuam a: meingo sung a tum ciang in amate lau mama uh hi.
35 A voice spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him!”
Taciang meingo sung pan in aw khat in, hisia in ka it mama ka Tapa hi: a thu ni vun, ci hi.
36 When the voice finished speaking, Jesus was there alone. They kept this to themselves, and didn't tell anyone at that time what they'd seen.
Tua aw nging a bo ciang in, Jesus ama nguak bek mu uh hi. Taciang amate in phualseal uh a, a mu uh thu te kuama tung a son bua uh hi.
37 The next day, when they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd was waiting to meet Jesus.
A zingciang, amate mualtung pan a tuaksuk uh ciang in, mi tam mama in Jesus muak uh hi.
38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.
Taciang, en vun, mipi sung pan in mikhat au a, Syapa awng, ka tapa hong etsak kapo in: banghangziam cile ama sia ka neisun ka tapa hi, ci hi.
39 A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.
Taciang, en in, doai in man a, upmawk ngawlbul in au hi; taciang puksak a, a kam pan cilphuan te pusuak za dong in, vawtsia a, pusuak kik vacit nuam ngawl hi.
40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
Na nungzui te i hawlkhiatsak tu in ka nget hang; hawlkhia zo ngawl uh hi, ci hi.
41 “What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”
Jesus in, Maw! upna nei ngawl le lamkhial te, banghun dong note taw hong om khawm tu khi ziam? banghun dong hong maisak lai tu khi ziam? Na tapa ka kung paipui tan, ci in zo hi.
42 Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.
Tabang in Jesus kung ah patangno hong paipui ciang, doai ngilo in puksak a, a thangui ki kaikinsak hi. Jesus in doai ngilo tei a, patang pa damsak hi, taciang a pa kung ah ap kik hi.
43 Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,
Amate a vekpi in Pathian i vangletna lian sia lamdangsa tek mama uh hi. Ahihang amate in Jesus vawt te theampo te lamdang asak mama uh laitak in, Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah,
44 “Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
Hi ka thuhil te na bilsung uh ah tum tahen: banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia mihing te khutsung ah ap tu hi, ci hi.
45 But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
Ahizong a nungzui te in Jesus thuhil te a tel bua uh hi, amate kung pan in ki phualseal ahikom a tel bua uh hi: taciang a sonte zong a dong ngam bua uh hi.
46 Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.
Tua zawkciang in, a nungzui te sia amate laklaw ah, a kua lianbel tu, ci ngaisun tek uh hi.
47 But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.
Jesus in amate thinsung ngaisutna a heak ciang in, patang khat la a, a kung ah koi hi,
48 Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”
Amate tung ah, Khatpo in, ka min taw hi patangno a sang peuma keima hong sang a hihi: keima hong sang peuma in keima hong sawlpa a sang a hihi: banghangziam cile note sung ah, a nobel sia a lian hi tu hi, ci hi.
49 John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
John in, Topa awng, na min taw doai ngilo te hawlkhia khat ka mu uh a; tho khu hi, banghangziam cile kote taw hong kithawl ngawl hang hi, ci hi.
50 “Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”
Jesus in, Tho heak vun: banghangziam cile hong langpan ngawl peuma hong hu a hihi, ci hi.
51 As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.
Jesus sia van a ka tu hun hong nai ciang in, Jerusalem pai tu in a maitang khosak mama hi.
52 He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.
A mai ah kamtai paisak khol a, amate pai hi, taciang Ama atu kinging tu in Samaria khua khat ah tum hi.
53 But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.
Ahihang tua khuasung mite in a sang bua uh hi, banghangziam cile a mai sia Jerusalem ah pai tu bang in a om hang a hihi.
54 When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”
Hi thu a nungzui te James le John in a mu uh ciang in, Topa, Elijah in a vawt bang in, van pan in mei tak suk a, amate kangsiatsak tu in thu ka piak tu uh nong oai ziam? ci uh hi.
55 But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.
Ahihang Jesus ki hei in, amate tei hi, Bangbang thaa nei nu ziam ci zong he ngawl nu hi.
56 Then they proceeded to another village.
Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia mihing te nuntakna lalsak tu in hongpai ngawl hi, ahihang ngum tu in hongpai hi, ci hi.
57 While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
Amate lampi ah a pai uh laitak in, mi khat in, Topa, na pai na mun theampo ah hong zui tu khi hi, ci hi.
58 Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”
Taciang Jesus in ama tung ah, Ngia te in kua nei a, van a vacim te in bu nei hi; ahihang mihing Tapa in a lu ngakna tu zong nei ngawl hi, ci hi.
59 He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”
Taciang a dang khat tung ah Jesus in, Hong zui tan, ci hi. Ahihang ama in, Topa awng, pai in ka pa hong vuisak phot tan, ci hi.
60 “Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”
Jesus in ama tung ah, Mithi te sia mithi te in vui tahen: ahihang nang na hile pai in a, Pathian kumpingam thuhil in, ci hi.
61 Another man said, “Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family.”
Midang khat in, Topa awng, hong zui tu khi hi; ahihang ka inn ah pai in, innkuanpui te nukset in vaitha masa phot tu khi hi, ci hi.
62 But Jesus told him, “Nobody once they've started plowing and then looks back is fit for God's kingdom.”
Jesus in ama tung ah, A kuamapo nungsang en in lo a tho peuma, Pathian kumpingam atu in man na om ngawl hi, ci hi.
