Luhka 13
1 Acunüng, Kalile khaw khyang he ngkengnak ami pawh k'um üng Pilat naw a jah hnima mawng Jesuh üng ami mtheh.
And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna Kalile khyang he, acunkba ami khuikha phäha, akce Kalile khyang hea kthaka mkhyekat bawki hea nami ngaiki aw?
And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
3 “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, acunkba am kya; nangmi pi am nami ngjut üng acunkba nami thi hnga khai.
No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
4 “Am acunüng khyang xaleikhyet Silawng im ksaü naw jah kyuk si se thiki he cen, Jerusalema awmki hea kthaka mkhyekat pawki hea nami ngaiki aw?
Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, acunkba am kya; nangmi pi am nami ngjut üng acunkba nami thi hnga khai” a ti.
No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
6 Acunüng, Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak pyen lü, “Khyang mat naw capyit a ngvawng k'uma a ngling mat awmki, law lü a ktheih a sui law üng a ngtheih mat hman pi am a hmuh.
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7 “Acunüng, ngvawng kbi üng, Tenga, law lü a ktheih ka sui lawnak khawkum kthum law pängki, a ktheih matca pi am hmu veng. Khyua! ivai amdanga khawmdek kyawh lü awmki ni?” a ti.
And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
8 “Acunüng, ngvawng kbi naw, ‘Ka mahpa aw, tuhmü kum ahikba awm tang se, a phung co lü, sea ek am mcah kawng;
But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
9 ‘Seng kum a ngthei üng aktäa daw lü, am a ngtei üng khyu kaw pi” a ti.
And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Acunüng, Jesuh naw Sinakoka k’uma Sabbath mhmüp üng a jah mthei.
And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
11 Acunüng kum xaleikhyet ngmüimkhya kse naw awm na se khuikha lü ngkunki, amät angdünga am ngdüiei thei süm sümki nghnumi mat awmki.
And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12 Acunüng, Jesuh naw a hmuh la khü lü, “Nghnumi aw, am na yainak üngka naw lät veki” ti lü,
Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
13 a khana a kut taih se, acun la angxita ngdüng law lü, Pamhnam mküimtoki.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Acunüng, Jesuh naw Sabbath mhmüp üng khyang a mdaw bea phäha Sinakok ngvai a mlung so lawki naw, khyang he jah mtheh lü, “nghngicim khüihnak vai mhmüp khyuk awmki, acunüng law u lü ngmangei law kyusak ua, Sabbath mhmüp üng ä law ua” a ti.
And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
15 Acunüng, Bawipa naw msang lü, “Nangmi Hypocrit he, Sabbath mhmüp üng nami se, nami sanghngaksaü sut u lü, tui aw khaia am nami cehpüi khawikia kya aih se?
And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
16 “Hina nghnumi hin Abrahama canua kyaki, teng u, khawyam naw kum xaleikhyet a manei Sabbath mhmüp üng ä lät sak vai aw?” a ti.
And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 Acunüng, acunkba pyen se hnengkie ami van ami hmai seki; acunüng, khyang he ami van Jesuh naw hlüngtai kyäpsawknak a pawha phäha jekyaiki he.
And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
18 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun i mäih ni a law? I am ni ka msümcäp kawm?
He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19 Anca ui mat, khyang naw lo lü a ngvawng k'uma a phu am tängki ni; acun cun cawt law lü, thinga kya law se, kha he naw angban üng ami ngbu ami pawhnak am tängki ni” a ti.
It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun i am ni ka msuimcäp kawm?” ti be lü,
And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
21 “Pamhnama khaw cun, nghnumi naw nghngen lo lü, khai tawng kthum üng thun se, khai avan thawh sakia nghngnen am tängki ni,” a ti.
It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Acunüng, Jesuh cun mlüh he la ngnam he üng jah hei mthei vü lü, Jerusalem khawa citki.
And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.
23 Acunüng, khyang mat naw Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, akjaw däng japaw küikyana ami kya kawm?” ti se, Jesuh naw,
And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:
24 “Mkawt ngcek üng nami luh vaia ktha na ua; ka ning jah mthehki, khyang khawjah lut khaia ngtün u sepi, am lut thei khai he.
Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.
25 “Imah tho law lü, ksaw a khai käna nangmi kpunga ngdüiki he naw, ‘Bawipa aw, ksawh jah mhmawna’ tia ksawh nami khawk law üng, ani naw, ‘nangmi hawia ka he, am ning jah ksing khawi nawng? ti lü ning jah msang khai.
But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
26 Acunüng nangmi naw, ‘Mi ei aw hmaih khawiki, kami khawloa pi na jah mthei hü khawiki ni’ nami ti law khai.
Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 “Acunüng ani naw, ‘Ka ning jah mthehki, nangmi hawia ka he am ning jah ksing khawi nawng, nangmi khyang kse he, ka vei üngka naw cit ua’ ti law khai.
And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 “Abraham, Isak, Jakop la sahma he avan Pamhnama khaw k’uma awm u se jah hmu u lü, nangmi ngpunga ning jah ktäm ti, nami ksing law üng, acunüng, nami mnicui ha kyet u lü nami kyap khai.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 “Acunüng, nghngilaw lam la nghngikyak lam, acum la asip üngka naw khyang he law u lü, Pamhnama khaw buhpawhnaka ngaw law khai he.
And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 “Acunüng, atuh hnuki he ma law u lü, atuh maki he hnu law khai he” a ti.
And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last.
31 Acunüng Pharise he avang a veia law u lü, “Herod naw aning hnim vai ngaih ve, hina hmün üngka naw ktawih lü akcea cita” ami ti.
The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee.
32 Acunüng Jesuh naw, Acuna saui üng hina ngthu va mtheh ua, ‘Tuhngawi la khawngawi, khawyai he ka jah ktäm khai, am phetki he pi jah mdaw be lü, amhmüp thum üng ka khut ka kpäng khai.
And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am consummated.
33 Acunsepi tuhngawi, khawngawi la a ngawi üng pi ka cit laih laih khaia kyaki. Jerusalema thea ta pung kcea sahma hnim vaia am kya naw, a ti.
Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following, because it cannot be that a prophet perish, out of Jerusalem.
34 “Aw Jerusalem, Jerusalem! sahma he jah hnimki, na veia Pamhnam naw a jah tüih law lung am jah vawiki, ainu naw a ca he a ngphya k’uma a jah awpa kba, na khyang, ivei ni ka jah awp hlü te nang naw am na ngjak hlü veki.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
35 “Nami Temple yawka kya khai. Ka ning jah mthehki, ‘Bawipa ngming üng lawki hin Pamhnam naw dawnak pe se’ am nami tia küt üng am nami na hmu be ti khai” a ti.
Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till the time come, when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
