Matthew 12
1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
Te vaeng tue kah Sabbath ah Jesuh tah lohma longah cet. A hnukbang rhoek tah a bungpong uh tih cangvuei a yun uh tih koe a kueh a uh.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
Tedae Pharisee rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah Jesuh te, “Sabbath ah saii ham a paek pawt te na hnukbang rhoek loh a saii uh ke,” a ti nah.
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Tedae Jesuh loh, “David neh a taengkah rhoek loh a bung a pong vaengah balae a saii, na tae uh moenih a?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Pathen im khuila kun tih a hmai kah buh a caak te ta. Te te anih kah a caak tueng la a om moenih, khosoih rhoek bueng pawt atah a taengkah rhoek ham khaw a om moenih.
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Sabbath ah bawkim kah khosoih rhoek loh Sabbath te a poeih dae ommongsitoe la a om uh te olkhueng khuiah na tae uh moenih a?
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, bawkim lakah aka tanglue ngai tah he ah om ta.
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
Tedae metla a om khaw na ming uh koinih, rhennah ni ka ngaih hmueih moenih,’ a ti dongah ommongsitoe te na boe sak uh pawt sue.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Hlang capa tah Sabbath boeipa la om,” a ti.
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
Te lamloh thoeih tih amamih kah tunim la pawk.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
Te vaengah kut khaem hlang pakhat khoem om. Te dongah anih a paelnaeh ham te a dawt uh tih, “Sabbath ah hoeih sak ham tueng a?” a ti nah.
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
Tedae amih te, “Nangmih khuikah tu pakhat mai khaw aka khueh hlang om a te? Te te Sabbath ah rhom khuila cungku koinih lo pawt vetih doek mahpawt a?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
Hlang he tu lakah muep tanglue ta. Te dongah Sabbath ah a then saii he tueng ta,” a ti nah.
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Te phoeiah tekah hlang te, “Na kut te yueng lah,” a ti nah tih koe a yueng. Te vaengah khat ben kah bangla a then la a hoeih pah.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
Tedae Pharisee rhoek tah cet uh tih anih te poci sak hamla dawtletnah a khueh uh.
15 Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
Jesuh loh a ming vaengah te lamloh khoe uh. Te vaengah anih te hlangping loh muep a vai. Te dongah amih te boeih a hoeih sak.
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
Tedae amah te mingpha la saii pawt ham amih te a uen.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Te daengah ni tonghma Isaiah loh a thui tih,
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
Ka sal he ne, anih ni ka coelh. Anih soah ka thintlo ka hinglu loh a lungtlun. A pum dongah ka mueihla ka khueh vetih, namtom taengah tiktamnah a thui ni.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Anih long tah oelhtaih mahpawh, hohaem mahpawh. A ol te toltung ah pakhat long khaw ya mahpawh.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
Tiktamnah te voelphoengnah la a khuen hlan atah capu aka paep te khaem pawt vetih thut aka nap khaw thih mahpawh.
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
A ming te khaw namtom rhoek loh a ngaiuep ni,” a ti te a soep eh.
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
Te phoeiah rhaithae a kaem olmueh mikdael te a taengla a khuen uh tih anih te a hoeih sak. Te daengah olmueh te cal thai tih kho a hmuh thai.
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
Te vaengah hlangping khaw boeih limlum uh tih, “Anih he David capa la om mai khaming,” a ti uh.
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Tedae Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah, “Anih tah rhaithae rhoek kah boei Belzebul nen pawt koinih rhaithae he haek mahpawh,” a ti uh.
25 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Amih kah poeknah te a hmuh vaengah, “Amamih aka paekboe ram tah boeih poci tih, amamih aka paekboe khopuei neh im boeih tah cak mahpawh.
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Satan loh Satan te haek koinih amah neh amamih paekboe uh ni ta. Te vaengah a ram loh metlam a pai eh?
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Kai loh Beezebul rhangneh rhaithae ka haek koinih, na ca rhoek tah u rhangnen lae a haek uh. He dongah amih tah nangmih kah laitloekkung la om uh ni.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
Tedae Pathen Mueihla rhangneh kai loh rhaithae ka haek atah nangmih taengah Pathen kah ram ha pai coeng dongah ni.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
Aka tlung te lamhma la a pin pawt atah metlam lae aka tlung kah im khuila a kun vetih hnopai te a poelyoe pah thai eh? a pin phoei daengah ni im te a muk eh.
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
Kai taengah aka om pawt tah kai neh hlihloeh la om tih, kai taengah aka cut pawt loh a thaek.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
He dongah nangmih taengah kan thui, tholhnah neh soehsalnah cungkuem dongah hlang he dongah hlah pah ni, tedae, Mueihla ben kah soehsalnah tah tholh hlah mahpawh.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Hlang capa te ol aka tha thil te khaw dongah hlah pueng ni. Tedae Mueihla Cim te aka cal thil te tah tahae tue neh aka lo ham dongah khaw anih te tholh hlah pah mahpawh. (aiōn g165)
33 “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.
Thing then loh a thaih a then sak tih thing thae loh a thaih a thae sak. Te dongah thing he a thaih loh a mingpha sak.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Rhulthae rhoek kah casak rhoek, a thae la na om uh lalah metlamlae a then te na thui uh thai eh. Thinko kah a baecoih te na ka loh a thui.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
Hlang then loh khohrhang then khuikah a then a sat tih, hlang thae loh khohrhang thae khuikah a thae a sat.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Tedae nangmih taengah kan thui, palyal olka aka thui rhoek boeih te laitloeknah khohnin ah hlang loh te ham te olka a thuung uh ni.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Na ol loh n'tang sak vetih na ol loh n'boe sak ni,” a ti nah.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
Te phoeiah cadaek rhoek hlangvang neh Pharisee rhoek loh Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Saya nang taengkah miknoek hmuh ham ka ngaih uh,” a ti nauh.
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Boethae neh samphaih cadil rhoek loh miknoek tlap cakhaw, tonghma Jonah kah miknoek pawt atah miknoek m'pae mahpawh.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jonah tah nga bung khuiah khothaih hnin thum neh khoyin hnin thum a om bangla hlang capa tah diklai ko khuiah khothaih hnin thum neh khoyin hnin thum om van ni.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
Laitloeknah hnin ah Nineveh hlang rhoek tah hekah cadil taengah pai uh vetih a boe sak ni. Jonah kah olhoe dongah amih yut uh. Tedae hekah aka om he Jonah lakah len dae ta he.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
Tuithim boeinu tah Solomon kah cueihnah hnatun hamla diklai bawt lamkah loh ha pawk dongah tahae kah cadil he laitloeknah ah a pai thil vetih a boe sak ni. Tedae heah he Solomon lakah aka len om dae ta he.
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
Mueihla thae loh hlang lamkah a coe phoeiah tuihang hmuen boeih ah cet tih duemnah a toem dae hmu pawh.
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Te vaengah ka caeh tangtae te ka im la ka bal ni a ti. Te dongah, a pawk vaengah hoeng, nawt tangtae neh, khoem tangtae, la a hmuh.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”
Te phoeiah cet tih amah lakah aka thae mueihla a tloe parhih te amah taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah te rhoek ah kun uh tih kho a sak. Te dongah te hlang te lamhma kah lakah a hnukkhueng kah a om te thae. Tahae kah cadil he khaw rhaithae lam ni a om tangkhuet eh,” a ti. p
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Hlangping te a voek li vaengah a manu neh a mana rhoek loh anih te voek ham a toem uh tih poeng ah pakcak pai uh.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Te dongah pakhat loh, “Na nu neh na mana rhoek loh nang voek ham n'toem tih poeng ah pai uh ke,” a ti nah.
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Te dongah amah aka voek te, “Unim kai manu? U rhoek nim kai mana rhoek?” a ti nah.
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Te phoeiah a hnukbang rhoek taengla a kut a yueng tih, “Kai manu neh kai mana rhoek la he.
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Vaan kah a Pa kongaih aka saii te tah ka manuca neh ngannu nganca neh manu la om,” a ti nah.
