Mahte 9
1 Jesuh cun mlawnga khana kai lü, Kalile tuili leh pah lü a venak Kapenawm mlüha cit beki.
And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.
2 Acuia a kut khaw xoki khyang mat cun kyäp üng a ngjännak üng Jesuha veia ami kawh law. Jesuh naw ami jumnak hmuh lü, “Ka ca aw, käh ng'äa, na mkhyekatnake cun mhlät päng ni,” a ti.
And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.
3 Acunüng thum mthei he akhäk naw ami mlung k’uma, “Hin naw Pamhnam ksekha na ve” ti lü ngaikie.
And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.
4 Acunüng pi Jesuh naw ami mlung k’uma ami ngaih jah ksing lü, “Ivai am dawkia nami ngaikie ni?”
And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?
5 A kut khaw xoki üng, “Na mkhyekatnake cun mhlät päng ni, ti mä ajä? am ani üng “Tho law lü cita” ti mä ajä?”
For which is the simpler, to say, You have forgiveness for your sins; or to say, Get up and go?
6 Khyanga capa naw khawmdek khana mkhyekatnake jah mhlätnaka johit taki ti nami ksing vaia, ti lü, akxo üng, “Tho law lü, na ngjännak phak lo lü na ima cit bea” a ti.
But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill, ) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
7 Akxo cun tho law lü a im da cit beki.
And he got up and went away to his house.
8 Khyang he naw ami hmuh üng cäi law u lü, acukba khyang üng akdaw pekia Pamhnam cun mhlünmtaikie.
But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
9 Acuna hnün ceh ta lü Jesuh a ceh hü üng, Mahte ngming naki khyang mat, ngcawn ngcawnaka im üng a na ngaw se hmuh lü, “Na läk lawa,” ti se, Mahte naw tho law lü Jesuh läki.
And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.
10 Jesuh naw Mahtea ima buh a ei k’um üng, ngcawng nglawke ja mdimei khyang he law u lü Jesuh ja axüisaw hea hlawnga ngaw law hngakie.
And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Pharise he avang naw hmuh u lü axüisaw hea üng, “Ivai nami saja ngcawn nglawke ja mdimei khyang hea dä ei yümkie ni?” ami ti.
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?
12 Jesuh naw ngja lü, “Khyang kphete naw dawkta am hlü u, khyang kune naw ni dawkta ami hlü.
But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
13 Keia hlüei ta mpyeneinak ni, khyüngsei am ngkengtaihnak am ni,” ti hin i a ti hlünak ni? Cit u lü va ngthei ua. Isetiüng ta “Khyang ngsungpyune jah khü khaia ka lawki am ni, mdimei khyang he jah khü khaia ni ka law.”
But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.
14 Acunüng Baptican Johana hnukläke Jesuh veia law u lü, “Ise keimi ja Pharise he ahüt hüt üng ei jeih u üng se nanga na hnukläke ei am jeih khawikie ni?” ti lü Jesuh ami kthäh u.
Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?
15 Jesuh naw, “Khine cun Cambumkia hlawnga ami vea küt üng, a khine ei kaa ve khai hea nami ngaikie aw? Am ve u! Acunsepi cambumki a khine am ami ngkya lawa mhnüp pha law khai, acunüng amimi naw ei jeih khaie ni,” a ti.
And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.
16 U naw suisak kphyüm akthai am am bu khawi. Acukba ami bu üng akthai naw akphyüm ei päk se angbaüa päk law dämdäm khai.
And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.
17 Acuna kba ni, u naw awi kphyüm üng capyit tui sü am than khawi u. Acukba ami than üng awi se law lü capyit tui sü ngsawi päih lü, awi pi pye khai. Capyit tui sü cun awi kthai üng ni ami than khawi. Acukba ami than üng va ani nghngih am pye thei ni.
And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.
18 Acukba ngthu a pyen k'um üng, Judah ngvai mat Jesuh veia law lü a mkhuk am ngdängki naw, “Ka canu tuh hi thi ve. Acunüngpi law lü, na kut a khana na taih law üng ta xüng law be khai ni” ti lü, a nghuinak.
While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.
19 Acunüng Jesuh naw tho law lü läk se axüisaw he naw pi läk hngakie.
And Jesus got up and went after him, and so did his disciples.
20 Nghnumi mat, khawkum xaleinghngih a thi put lü khuikhaki Jesuha hnua law lü, a kcu mdawngca a hneh.
And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:
21 Acuna nghnumi naw, “A suisak mdawngca hleng ka hneh üng ta ka daw be khai ni” ti lü ngaieiki.
Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.
22 Jesuh naw nghlat law lü ani a hmuh üng, “Ka canu aw, käh cäia. Na jumeinak naw ning mdaw be ve,” ti se, acunja nghnumi cun daw beki.
But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Acunüng Jesuh Judah ngvaia ima va lutki. Yawk kcing tumkie ja kyahkie a jah hmuh vai üng,
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,
24 “Avan kpunga cit ua! Ahina nghnumica thiki am ni ipki ni” ti se, acun he naw ami yaihei.
He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.
25 Cunüngpi khyang he kpunga ami va luh ja, Jesuh nghnumicaa venak im k’uma lut lü a kut üng kaih se tho law beki.
But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.
26 Acuna mawng cun khaw lum üng ngthang hüki.
And the news of it went out into all that land.
27 Jesuh acun üngka naw a va ceh üng, amikmü nghngih naw läk ni lü, “Aw, Davita capa jah mpyeneia” ti lü ngpyangki xawi.
And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.
28 Jesuh ima k’uma a luh üng, amikmü xawi a veia law ni se, Jesuh naw “Kei naw ka ning jah mdaw be khawh khai ti nami jumki aw” ti se, “Bawipa aw, kani jumki ni” ani ti.
And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.
29 Acunüng Jesuh naw ani mik jah hne lü, “Nani jumeia mäiha thawn se” a ti.
Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.
30 Acunja ani mik vai law be se Jesuh naw, “U üng pi käh nani mtheh vai” ti lü a jah ksük.
And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.
31 Acunüngpi ani va ceh jah Jesuha mawng cun khaw avan üng ani sang hü.
But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.
32 Acun üngka naw ami va ceh üng, khawyaia venak ak’ang khyang mat Jesuha veia ami lawpüi u.
And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.
33 Jesuh naw khawyai a ksät käna acuna khyang ngthuhei law be thei se, khyang he naw “Hina mäih Isarele üng am mi hmuh khawi” ti lü müncannakie.
And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.
34 Acunsepi pharisee naw, “Hin naw khawyaiea ngvai naw a peta johit am khawyaie jah ksät ve” ti lü pyeneikie.
But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.
35 Jesuh mlühe naküt, ngname naküt üng cit hüki. Sinakoka k’uma jah mthei hü lü, Pamhnama khawa mawng thangkdaw pyen hüki. Am phetkie ja hlikhaü mjüküm naw a jah pawhe naküt jah mdaw beki.
And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain.
36 Jesuh naw khyang päe, toksäm am ve se khuikhakia toca hea mäih a jah hmuh üng aktäa jah mpyeneiki.
But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.
37 Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw hea üng, “Cang hmin lü da sepi, at lü mkhäm khai ngcek ve,”
Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.
38 Cangmah naw cang at khai khawhah a tüih law vaia cangmaha veia ktaiyü ua” a ti.
Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.
