Luka 13
1 Amah a khoning vaengah Pilat loh hmueih neh Galilee rhoek kah thii a thoek te hlangvang aka om rhoek loh Jesuh taengla puen uh.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Te te a yook uh dongah Galilee rhoek tah Galilee rhoek boeih lakah hlangtholh la om tila na poek uh a?
Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Moenih ta, nangmih taengah kan thui, na yut uh pawt atah boeih na poci uh van ni.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4 Siloam kah imsang loh a bung thil tih aka duek hlairhet rhoek te ta. Amih tah Jerusalem khosa hlang boeih lakah hlangtholh ni tila na poek uh a?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Moenih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, na yut uh pawt atah boeih na poci uh van ni,” a ti nah.
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
6 Te phoeiah nuettahnah a thui bal. “Amah dum ah thaibu aka ling hlang pakhat om tih, a thaih hoel hamla ha pawk hatah hah a sawt.
He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
7 Te dongah dumpho taengah, ‘Kum thum khuiah ka lo tih hekah thaibu dongah a thaih ka hoel dae hah ka sawt coeng he. Te dongah vung laeh, ba ham lae te nen te diklai a kang eh,’ a ti nah.
He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
8 Tedae anih te a doo tih, ‘Boeipa, te te pin ka to li tih aek ka sang hil tah kum at he khaw hlun mai.
He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.
9 Thanghal a pha atah a thaih khaw cuen mai ni ta, a thaih pawt bal atah na vung mai bitni,’ a ti nah.”
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10 Sabbath vaengah tunim pakhat ah om tih a thuituen.
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 Te vaengah kum hlairhet ngoicaemnah mueihla aka kaem huta te pakcak ha thoeng. Anih te ting khun la om coeng tih khuek pai thai pawh.
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Anih te a hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh a khue tih amah taengah, “Huta, Na ngoicaemnah te na hlah coeng,” a ti nah.
When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13 Te phoeiah huta te kut a tloeng thil hatah pahoi a dueng pah dongah Pathen te a thangpom.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
14 Tedae Jesuh loh Sabbath vaengah a hoeih sak te tamtaeng loh a yakdam. Te dongah hlangping te a doo tih, “Hnin rhuk a om khuiah a saii ham te a kuek, te vaengah ha pawk kanoek vetih na hoeih uh mako, Sabbath hnin ah pawt mako,” a ti nah.
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15 Te dongah anih te Boeipa loh a doo tih, “Hlangthai palat rhoek! nangmih pakhat rhip loh Sabbath ah a vaito neh muli-marhang te kongduk lamkah a hlam tih tui tul ham a khuen uh moenih a?
Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
16 Anih he Abraham canu la om dae ta. Amah he Satan loh kum hlai rhet a pin coeng ta he. Te dongah Sabbath khohnin ah he hloong dong lamkah loh hlam ham a kuek moenih a?” a ti nah.
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 He he a thui vaengah, anih aka kingkalh rhoek boeih tah yah a poh uh. Tedae hlangping boeih tah amah loh rhuepom cungkuem a thoeng sak soah omngaih.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Te dongah koep a thui tih, “Balae Pathen kah ram phek la aka om?
He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
19 Tedae metlam ka thuidoek eh te? Te te mukang muu phek la om. Te te hlang loh a loh tih a dum ah a haeh. Tedae a rhoeng vaengah thing la poeh tih vaan kah vaa loh a hlaeng dongah bu a tuk,” a ti nah.
It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
20 Te phoeiah “Ka thuidoek thil ham Pathen kah ram te tah tolrhu phek la om.
Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
21 Te te huta loh a loh tih vaidam khoi thum boeih a rhoi hil khaw a hlum thil,” koep a ti.
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Khopuei vangca ah pah tih a thuituen phoeiah tah Jerusalem la a caeh long a tarhoek.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and travelling on to Jerusalem.
23 Te vaengah hlang pakhat loh a taengah, “Boeipa, te rhoek ca bueng khang koinih,” a ti nah.
One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
24 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Thohka caek longah kun hamla thingthuel uh lah. Nangmih taengah ka thui, a yet loh kun hamla a toem uh suidae noeng uh mahpawh.
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
25 Imkung loh thoo tih thohka a khaih nen tah, poeng ah na pai uh pahoi vetih thohka te na khoek uh ni. Te vaengah, ‘Boeipa, kaimih ham ong dae,’ na ti uh ni. Tedae nangmih te n'doo vaengah, ‘Nangmih me kah aka om rhoek nim? kam ming moenih,’ a ti ni.
When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26 Te vaengah, ‘Namah taengah ka caak ka ok uh tih, kaimih kah toltung ah na thuituen ta,’ na ti uh ni.
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Tedae nangmih taengah a thui vetih, ‘Nangmih mekah aka om rhoek nim kam ming moenih, boethae kah bibikung rhoek kai taeng lamkah loh boeih nong uh,’ a ti ni.
He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
28 Te ah te rhah neh no rhuengnah ni aka om eh. Pathen kah ram ah Abraham, Isaak, Jakob neh tonghma rhoek te boeih na hmuh uh vaengah nangmih te phawn n'thaek uh ni.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Te vaengah khocuk neh khotlak lamkah, tlangpuei neh tuithim lamkah loh ha pawk uh vetih Pathen kah ram ah ngolhlung uh ni.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
30 A hnuk la aka om rhoek te lamhma la om uh vetih, lamhma la aka om rhoek te a hnuk la om uh ni ke,” a ti nah.
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
31 Amah tekah a tue vaengah Pharisee pakhat loh Jesuh te a paan tih, “Khoe uh lamtah cet dingdoeng laeh, Herod loh nang ngawn ham a ngaih,” a ti nah.
On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Te dongah amih te, “Cet uh lamtah maetang te thui pa uh, rhaithae ka haek tih tihnin ah hoeihnah ka saii he thangvuen neh omvai ah ka coeng ni.
He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 Tedae kai ham tihnin neh thangvuen te khaw a kuek dongah caeh hamla om. Jerusalem voel ah tonghma sai a caeh te yae boel saeh.”
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, tonghma rhoek te aka ngawn tih a taengla a tueih pah rhoek te khaw aka dae, ainu loh a phae hmuiah a aicahui khoep a ku vaengkah a longim bangla, na ca rhoek te ka kholcui ham ka ngaih taitu dae na ngaih uh pawh.
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
35 Na im te nangmih taengla han hlah coeng he. Tedae nangmih ham ni ka thui. ‘Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen,’ na ti uh tue te ha pawk duela kai nan hmuh uh loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
