Luhka 17
1 Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Katnak üng khyang kyukngtäng sak khaia biloki cun a jo se ve,
And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.
2 “Hina anghmawca he üngka mat a mkhyekat saka kthaka ta a nghngü üng ksum khawp lü mliktui üng tawnin a hama daw bawk khai ni.
It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.
3 “Cäei ua, na bena naw a ning katnak üng na mcäi vai, a ngjut üng na mhlät vai.
Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.
4 “Mhmüp mat üng khyüh vei ning mkhyekat na lü, khyüh vei, ‘ngjut veng’ ti lü, a ning law si üng na mhlät vai,” a ti.
And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.
5 Acunüng ngsä he naw, “Kami jumnak jah pung pea” ti u se,
And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.
6 Jesuh naw, “Anca ui nglung ata kba jumnak nami tak üng, hina thing üng, ‘Na pya maha ngphawng law lü, mliktuia khana va ngdüia’ ti u lü, nami ngthu ngai khai.
And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.
7 “Cunsepi, nangmi üngka u naw a m'ya lai thawnkia pi kyase, toksäma pi kyase a law be üng, ‘law lü, ei law ktäia’ ti khai aw?
But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,
8 “Acukba am pyen lü, ‘ka ei vai na pyan law pea, na suisak suiawi lü, ka eiawk k’um üng na ngänga. Acunkäna namät ei kaw pi’ am ti khai aw?
Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?
9 “M'ya naw a mahpa a pyena kba a bilawha phäha a mahpa naw, ‘Na bä ni’ ti khai aw? Am ti.
Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?
10 “Acukba ngthupet he avan nami jah pawh käna, ‘Keimi hin kami mahpa kami jekyai sakia am kya naw, kami pawh kung vai kami pawhki ni,’ ti ua” a ti.
In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.
