It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami ktaiyü üng hinkba ti ua, ‘Kami Pa, Na ngming ngcim leisawngnak am ve se. Na khaw pha law se.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,

"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Jah katnaki kami mhlät khawia kba, nang naw pi kami katnak he jah mhläta. Hlawhlepnaka am jah cehsak kaw pi,” a ti.
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üng mat naw, mthan nglunga a püia veia cit lü, ‘Ka püi aw, muk kthum na kpu lawa;
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Ka khin law ve, mbei vai i am ta veng’ a ti üng;
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 im k'um üngka naw, ‘Ä na kpyaneia; ksaw khai päng veng, ka ca he pi ihnak üng ip päng ve u; tho law lü am ning pe law hlü thei veng’ ti lü, a msang te,
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 Ka ning jah mthehki, a püia akya aphäha, tho law lü am ava pete, ä khyakei lü a kthähei nua phäha tho law lü, a ngaih jah pe khai.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 “Acunakyase, ka ning jah mthehki, kthäh ua, acunüng nami yah khai; sui ua, acunüng nami hmu khai; khawk ua, acunüng ksawh ning jah mhmawn pe khai he.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 “Upi, kthähki avan naw yah khawiki, upi suiki naw hmu khawiki, upi khawki am ksawh mhmawn pe khai he.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 “Nangmi üngka pa, a ca naw muk kthäh se, u naw lung pe khai aw? Nga kthäh se, u naw ngaa nghnün üng kphyu pe khai aw?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 “Acunüng aiktui kthäh se, u naw jawngk’ai pe khai aw?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 “Nangmi khyang kse he naw pi nami ca üng akdaw pet vai nami ksing üng, nami Pa khankhawa ka naw, kthähki avan üng Ngmüimkhya Ngcim aktäa pe hlü ve,” a ti.
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Acunüng, Jesuh naw khawyai am ngthuhei theiki mat a ktäm. Acunüng khawyai a kco law la ä ngthuhei theikia khyang cun ngthuhei law be thei se khyang he aktäa cäicah lawki he.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Khyang avang he naw, “Khawyai mkhawng Beelzebula johit am ni khawyai he a jah ktäm,” ami ti.
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Avang naw ami mhnüteinaka, khan üngka ti ksingnak vai müncankse kthähki he.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami ngaihkyunak jah ksing lü, “Ia pung pi amimät ngcawhki he cun pyeh khawiki he ni; khuiim mat üngka he pi amimät ngcawhki he cun khyük khawiki he ni.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 “Khawyama khaw pi amimät ami ngtuk üng ihawkba a khaw khäng khai ni? Beelzebula a peta johit am khawyai he jah ksätki nami tiki ni.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 “Acukba ka jah ksätkia akya üng, ihawkba nami hnukläk he naw khawyai jah ksätkie ni? Nami mäta hnukläk he naw nami hleinak mdan ve u.
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 “Cunsepi, kei naw Pamhnama johit am khawyai he jah ktäm khawikia ka kya üng, Pamhnama khaw nami veia pha law pängki.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 “Khyang kyan naw likcim kpawmei lü a im a ngänga küt üng, a khawhthem mä lü awm khawiki;
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 “Cunsepi amäta kyan bawki naw tu law lü, a näng law üng, a üpnaka likcim he jah yut lü, a khawhthem lo lü, jah yet hü khai.
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 “Acunakyase, upi ka hlawnga am awmki cun, ka yea kyaki; upi am na mkhämpüiki cun kthehkia kyaki.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 “Acunüng, khawyai khyanga k'um üngka naw a luh law üng, a xüieinak vai sui hü lü, tuia am a awmnak hnünea ngvak hü khawiki; acunüng, xüieinak vai am hmu lü, ‘Ka luh lawnaka ima nghlat be vang’ ti lü,
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 ava pha be üng ana phekphaih u lü a na dawkya sak u se a hmuh.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 “Acun la va cit be lü, amäta pi se bawki khawyai kce khyüh jah lawpüi se, acunüng lut u lü awmki he, acuna khyanga awm law vai cun akma a na awm khawia pi ksehlen bawki,” a ti.
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 Acukba ngthu ana pyen k'um üng, khyang hea ksunga nghnumi mat ngpyang law lü, a veia, “Ning pawi nakia pum la ning tukia cih ta a jo sen ve,” a ti.
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna kthaka ta, Pamhnama ngthu ngai lü acuna kba awmki he, ami jo sen bawk ve,” a ti.
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Acunüng, khyang he a veia ami ngbum law üng, Jesuh naw, “Atuh ngsawn he hin se ve u; müncankse suiki he, cunsepi, Jonaha müncankse dänga thea msingnak ä jah pet vai.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 “Jonah Ninevih khyang hea msingnaka a kyaa kba, khyanga Capa pi atuh khyang hea hama msingnaka kya khai.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 “Sheba sangpuxangnu, Solamona themnak ngaiei khaia athuknak üngka naw lawkia kyase, ngthumkhyanaka mhmüp üng, atuh ngsawn hea veia tho law ha lü jah mkat law khai. Ngai u Solamona kthaka kyäp bawki hia awm ve.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 “Ninevih khyang he, Jonaha ngthu pyena phäha ngjutki hea kyase, ngthumkhyanaka mhmüp üng, atuh ngsawn hea veia ngdüi law hnga u lü, jah mkat law khai he; ngai u, Jonaha kthaka kyäp bawki hia awm ve.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 “U naw meiim mdäi lü am thup khawi u, cäa k'umapi am thup khawi u, lutki he naw ami hmuh vaia angdangnak üng ni ami tak khawi.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 “Pumsa meiim cun mika kyaki. Acunakyase na mik avai üng na pumsa avan vai bäihki. Cunsepi, na mik a pyeh üng na pumsa avan nghmüpki.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 “Acunakyase, akvai nami k'uma awmki, am a nghmüp vaia cäi na u.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 “Acunüng na pumsa ä nghmüp lü avan a vai üng, meiim naw aktäa a kcäiha kba, na pumsa vai bäih khai,” a ti.
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Jesuh ana ngthuhei k'um üng Pharise mat naw buh ei khaia khü se cit lü buh eiki.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Acunüng a kut am mthih lü buh ei se a hmuh üng, Pharise aktäa cäiki.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Acunüng Bawipa naw, “Nangmi Pharise he khawt la kbe akpung lama nami mthi khawiki; cunsepi nami mlungmthin k'uma setnak la katnak am nami beki.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 “Khyang k'ang he aw! Akpung pi pyang lü ak’um pi pyangki cun Pamhnam am niki aw?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 “Acunakyase, nami khawt la nami kbe üng awmki m'yenkseki he üng jah pe ua. Acunüng, ahmäi nami hama ngcim hei law khai ni.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 “Nangmi Pharise he, nami jo se ve! Kcingyüt paibänge la khuhlip kce he pi xa üng mat pet vaia nami khüiki. Cunsepi, hmankanak la Pamhnam jawng'engnak am nami cäi naki. Ahin he va jah pawh ma u lü akce he pi nami jah pawh vai sü.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 “Nangmi Pharise he nami jo se ve, Sinakoka ngawhnak akdaw säih la jawihtuknaka nghnukset kyu nami jawng naki.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 “Nami jo se ve, ng’uhnün tia ä ngsing se, khyang he naw ä ksing u lü, a khana ami ceh hünak am nami tängki,” a ti.
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Acunüng, thum ksingki mat naw, “Saja aw, hina ngthu na pyen hin keimi pi na jah ksenaki ni” ti lü a msang.
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Thumksing he aw, nangmi pi nami jo se ve! Phüi kse khyanga khana nami mtaihki, namimät naw nami kutmdawng am pi am nami hnet hlüki.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 “Nami jo se ve! nami pupa he naw ami hnim, sahma hea mkhya im nami saki.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 “Acunakyase, nami pupa hea ami bilawh cun jah ksingpüi u lü, nami jah ngaisimpüiki ni; amimi naw hnim u se, nangmi naw ami mkhya ime nami jah saki.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 “Acunakyase, Pamhnama ksingnak naw pi pyen lü, ‘Sahma he la ngsä he jah tüih pe ni se, avang jah mkhuimkha u lü, jah hnim khai he,’
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;

"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,

"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 “Thumksing he, ksingnaka imksawh mhmawnak tawh nami thupkia kyase nami jo se ve. Namimät pi am lut u lü lut hlüki he pi nami jah mkhyawhki,” a ti.
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Jesuh naw acuna hmün a cehtak üng thumksing he la Pharise he naw ami mkateinak vaia,
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
