Luka 17

1 Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Kaminawk zaehaih sahsak hmuen to om tih: toe zaehaih omsak kami loe khosak bing!

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 Hae ih nawktanawk thungah nawkta maeto zaehaih sahsak kami loe, tahnong ah cangkaehhaih thlung to a oihsak moe, tuipui thungah vah nahaeloe anih han hoi kue tih.

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 Nangcae loe acoe oh: nam nawkamya mah na nuiah sethaih sah nahaeloe, anih to thuitaek ah; dawnpakhuem nahaeloe, anih to tahmen ah.

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 Anih mah nito naah na nuiah vai sarihto zaehaih sak, toe nito naah vai sarihto nangcae khaeah angzoh moe, Ka dawnpakhuem boeh, tiah thui nahaeloe, anih to tahmen ah, tiah a naa.

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 Patoeh ih kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah, Kaicae tanghaih qoengsak ah, tiah a naa o.

And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

6 Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah, Antam mu tetto mah tanghaih na tawnh o nahaeloe, hae thaiduet kung khaeah, Tangzuun hoi nawnto angphongh duk ah loe, tuipui ah angthling ah, tiah na naa o nahaeloe, na thuih o ih lok to tahngai tih.

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 Nangcae thung ih kami maeto loe long atok tamna maw, to tih ai boeh loe maitaw toep tamna maeto a tawnh, tamna maeto lawk hoi amlaem naah, Caeh ah, anghnu ah loe, buh to caa ah, tiah na naa roep tih maw?

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 Tamna khaeah, Ka caak hanah buh na thoe paeh, kaengkaeh to angzaeng ah loe, ka caa boih ai karoek to na toep ah; to pacoengah na caa ueloe, na nae tih hmang, tiah na naa mak ai maw?

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 Na thuih ih sak han koi hmuen to a sak pongah, anih mah tamna khaeah kawnhaih lok thui tih maw? Thui tih, tiah ka poek ai.

Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?

10 To baktih toengah nangcae mah, sak han ang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah hmuen na sak o boih pacoengah, Kaicae loe amekhaih pakrong tamna na ai ni: ka sak o han koi tok to ka sak o boih boeh, tiah thui oh, tiah a naa.

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.

11 Anih loe Samaria hoi Kalili prae thung hoiah Jerusalem ah caeh.

And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

12 Anih avang maeto thungah akun naah, ngansae man kami hato anih khae angzoh hanah, kangthla ah angdoet o:

And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,

13 nihcae mah, Jesu, Angraeng, kaicae nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah tha hoi a hangh o.

Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 Nihcae to a hnuk naah, nihcae khaeah, Caeh oh loe qaima khaeah na takpum to patuek oh, tiah a naa. Nihcae caeh o naah, ngansae to ciim boih.

And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

15 Nihcae thung ih maeto mah ngansae ciim boeh, tiah a hnuk naah, amlaem let moe, tha hoi Sithaw to pakoeh,

And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;

16 Jesu khokkung ah tabok moe, kawnhaih lok a thuih: anih loe Samaritan kami ah oh.

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

17 Jesu mah kami hato ngantui o boih na ai maw? Takawtto kaminawk loe naa ah maw oh o?

And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

18 Hae acaeng kalah kami khue ai ah loe, Sithaw pakoeh han amlaem let kami om o ai maw? tiah a naa.

Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?

19 Anih mah to kami khaeah, Angthawk ah loe, caeh laih: na tanghaih mah ang hoisak boeh, tiah a naa.

And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

20 Farasi kaminawk angzoh o moe, anih khaeah Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe natuek naah maw angzo tih, tiah a dueng o; anih mah nihcae khaeah, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe nangcae mikhnuk ah angzo mak ai:

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

21 khenah, Haeah khen oh, to tih ai boeh loe hoah khen oh, tiah mi mah doeh thui thai mak ai, tahngai oh, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe nangcae palung thungah ni oh, tiah a naa.

And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

22 Anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Kami Capa ih ni hnuk koehhaih ani to pha tih, toe na hnu o mak ai.

And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

23 Kaminawk mah nangcae khaeah, Haeah khen oh, to tih ai boeh loe hoah khen oh, tiah na naa o tih; to naah nihcae hnukah caeh o hmah, nihcae hnukah doeh bang o hmah.

And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.

24 Aanghaih mah, van maeto bang hoi van maeto bang khoek to toeh phaeng baktih toengah, Kami capa doeh Angmah ih niah loe to tiah om tih.

For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

25 Toe anih loe paroeai patangkhang hmaloe tih, hae dung ih kaminawk mah anih to pahnawt o tih.

But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.

26 Noah dung ah kaom hmuen baktih toengah, Kami Capa ih niah doeh om tih.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

27 Noah palong thungah akun karoek to, kaminawk loe naek caak o, zu lak o moe, imthong krak o, to naah tui kalen phak thuih moe, kaminawk to uem king.

They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

28 Lot dung naah doeh to tiah oh; kaminawk loe caak o, naek o, hmuenmae qan o moe, a zawh o, patit o moe, im doeh a sak o;

In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

29 toe Lot mah Sodom vangpui tacawt taak ni roe ah van bang hoiah kaat hmai hoi kangbaeh kho to angzoh moe, kaminawk to amrosak boih.

But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

30 Kami Capa angphonghaih niah doeh to tiah om tih.

So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

31 To na ni phak naah, imphu ah kaom kami mah angmah ih hmuen lak hanah, imthung ah anghum tathuk hmah nasoe: lawk ah kaom kami doeh hmuen lak hanah im ah amlaem hmah nasoe.

On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

32 Lot ih zu to poek oh.

Keep in mind Lot's wife.

33 Mi kawbaktih doeh a hinghaih pahlong han pakrong kami loe, a hinghaih to pathlong tih; mi kawbaktih doeh a hinghaih pathlong kami loe, hinghaih to hnu tih.

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

34 Kang thuih o, to naduem ah loe iihkhun maeto nuiah kami hnetto om hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, maeto loe caehtaak sut tih.

I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.

35 Nongpata hnik loe nawnto cang daeng hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, kalah maeto loe caehtaak sut tih.

Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

36 Lawk ah kami hnetto om hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, kalah maeto loe caehtaak sut tih, tiah a naa.

37 Nihcae mah Anih khaeah, Angraeng, to hmuen loe naa ah maw om tih? tiah a dueng o. To pongah anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kadueh qok ohhaih ahmuen ah tahmu prawnnawk nawnto angpop o tih, tiah a naa.

And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
