Luka 17
1 Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Kaminawk zaehaih sahsak hmuen to om tih: toe zaehaih omsak kami loe khosak bing!
Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through 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, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.
3 Nangcae loe acoe oh: nam nawkamya mah na nuiah sethaih sah nahaeloe, anih to thuitaek ah; dawnpakhuem nahaeloe, anih to tahmen ah.
Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;
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 seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."
5 Patoeh ih kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah, Kaicae tanghaih qoengsak ah, tiah a naa o.
And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
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.
"If your faith," replied the Lord, "is like a mustard seed, you might command this black-mulberry-tree, 'Tear up your roots and plant yourself in the sea,' and instantly it would obey you.
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 who has a servant ploughing, or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the farm, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'
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?
and will not rather say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, make yourself tidy, and wait upon me till I have finished my dinner, and then you shall 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 thank the servant for obeying his orders?
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.
So you also, when you have obeyed all the orders given you, must say, "'There is no merit in our service: what we have done is only what we were in duty bound to do.'"
11 Anih loe Samaria hoi Kalili prae thung hoiah Jerusalem ah caeh.
As they pursued their journey to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
12 Anih avang maeto thungah akun naah, ngansae man kami hato anih khae angzoh hanah, kangthla ah angdoet o:
And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were lepers and stood at a distance.
13 nihcae mah, Jesu, Angraeng, kaicae nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah tha hoi a hangh o.
In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity 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.
Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this 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,
One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and praising God in a loud voice,
16 Jesu khokkung ah tabok moe, kawnhaih lok a thuih: anih loe Samaritan kami ah oh.
and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him. He was a Samaritan.
17 Jesu mah kami hato ngantui o boih na ai maw? Takawtto kaminawk loe naa ah maw oh o?
"Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but 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 none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
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, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
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:
Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.
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.
Nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' --for the Kingdom of God is within you."
22 Anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Kami Capa ih ni hnuk koehhaih ani to pha tih, toe na hnu o mak ai.
Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
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 they will say to you, 'See there!' 'See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.
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 just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.
25 Toe anih loe paroeai patangkhang hmaloe tih, hae dung ih kaminawk mah anih to pahnawt o tih.
But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the present generation.
26 Noah dung ah kaom hmuen baktih toengah, Kami Capa ih niah doeh om tih.
"And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time 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.
Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.
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;
The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, 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 that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all.
30 Kami Capa angphonghaih niah doeh to tiah om tih.
Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from 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 a man is on the roof and his property indoors, let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way, he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
32 Lot ih zu to poek oh.
Remember 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.
Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve 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.
On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken away and the other left behind.
35 Nongpata hnik loe nawnto cang daeng hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, kalah maeto loe caehtaak sut tih.
There will be two women turning the mill together: one will be taken away and the other left behind."
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.
"Where, Master?" they inquired. "Where the dead body is," He replied, "there also will the vultures flock together."
