Luka 14

1 Sabbath a pha vaengah Jesuh tah Pharisee boeilu pakhat im ah buh ca la cet. Te vaengah amah te a om thil uh tih a dawn uh.

And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.

2 Te vaengah hlang pakhat bungthung aka khueh te a hmaiah pakcak a pawk pah.

And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.

3 Te dongah Jesuh loh olming rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek te a doo tih a voek vaengah, “Sabbath hnin ah tloh hoeih sak ham tueng a, a tueng moenih a?” a ti nah.

Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?

4 Tedae amih loh a hil a phah uh dongah a hoeih sak hlang te a mawt tih a tueih.

And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,

5 Te phoeiah amih te, “Na ca mai khaw, vaito mai khaw tangrhom ah aka cungku te, Sabbath hnin ah pahoi a doek moenih a?” a ti nah.

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?

6 Tedae te te oelh uh thai pawh.

And they could not answere him againe to those things.

7 Hmuensang te mat a laehdawn tih aka tuek, a cael rhoek te nuettahnah a thui pah.

He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,

8 Te vaengah amih te, “Yuluei kung la hlang khat khat loh n'khue uh vaengah, hmuensang ah ngol uh boeh, anih loh a khue te nang lakah a khoelh la vik om ve.

When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,

9 Te vaengah nang neh anih aka khue te ha pawk vetih nang te, ' Anih he hmuen pae dae,’ a ti ni. Te vaengah yah te na poh van vetih a hmuen hnukkhueng te na dang ni.

And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.

10 Te dongah n'khue vaengah cet lamtah hnukkhueng hmuen ah ngol. Te daengah ni nang aka khue te ha pawk vaengah nang te, ' Paya aw, thoo hang dae,’ a ti vetih na taengkah aka ngol rhoek boeih taengah nang hamla thangpomnah a om eh.

But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

11 Amah aka pomsang boeih tah tlarhoel vetih amah aka tlarhoel tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.

For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.

12 Te phoeiah amah aka khue te khaw, “Buhkoknah neh hlaembuh na saii vaengah, na paya, na manuca, na huiko, na imben kuirhang rhoek te khue boeh. Amih loh namah te n'buhung van vetih kutthungnah loh namah taengla ha thoeng ve.

Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.

13 Tedae buhloei na tael vaengah khodaeng, kut ngun kho ngun, aka khaem, mikdael te khue.

But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,

14 Yoethen la na om bitni, nang n'sah ham te khueh pawt cakhaw aka dueng rhoek kah thohkoepnah dongah nang ham a sah bitni,” a ti nah.

And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.

15 A yaak uh vaengah aka ngol rhoek khuikah pakhat loh, “Yoethen long te tah Pathen kah ram ah buh a caak ni,” a ti nah.

Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.

16 Anih te khaw Jesuh loh, “Hlang pakhat loh hlaembuh muep a thong tih hlang muep a khue.

Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,

17 Hlaembuh tue ah tah a sal te a khue rhoek taengla a tueih tih, 'Ham paan uh laeh, sikim la om coeng,’ a ti nah.

And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.

18 Tedae a bangtlang la boeih a thaanah uh tih, lamhma kah loh, ' Lo ka lai tih aka hip la caeh ham a kueknah la ka om. Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'rhoe mai,’ a ti nah.

But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.

19 Pakhat loh, ' Vaito a rhoi panga ka lai tih, nainong ham ka cet ni, Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'hoep mai,’ a ti nah.

And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.

20 Pakhat bal loh, ' Yuu ka loh tih ka lo ham coeng mahpawh,’ a ti nah.

And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.

21 Te dongah sal te a pawkvaengah tah a boeipa taengla a puen pah. Te vaengah imkung tah kosi a hong tih a sal te, ' Khopuei kah toltung neh imhlai laklo ah a loe la cet lamtah, khodaeng, a kut a kho aka ngun, mikdael, aka khaem te pahoi hang khuen,’ a ti nah.

So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.

22 Sal loh, ' Boeipa, nan tueih bangla ka saii coeng dae a hmuen om pueng,’ a ti nah.

And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.

23 Te dongah boei loh sal taengah, 'Khohla longpuei neh vongtung taengah khaw cet lamtah ha kun ham tanolh dae, te daengah ni ka im ah hlang a bae eh.

Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.

24 Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng, ka khue hlang rhoek loh kai kah hlaembuh ten uh boel saeh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.

For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.

25 Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a puei hatah, amih taengla mael tih,

Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,

26 “Khat khat te kai taengla ha lo vaengah a napa neh a manu, a yuu neh a ca, pacaboeina neh tanu takhong, amah kah a hinglu khaw a toeng thil bal pawt atah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih.

If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.

27 Amah kah thinglam a koh pawt ah kai hnukla aka lo te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih.

And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.

28 Nangmih khui lamkah loh imsang sak ham aka ngaih te unim? Lamhma la ngol tih a hnonah te a tae moenih a? Imcoeng ham khueh mai cakhaw?

For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,

29 A khoengim a sut tih coeng thai pawt koinih aka hmu boeih loh anih te pahoi a tamdaeng ni.

Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,

30 hlang loh sak hamla a tong dae a coeng thai moenih,’ a ti uh ta.

Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?

31 Mebang manghai khaw manghai pakhat te a noem tih ni caem la a caeh. Te vaengah ngol lamhma tih a doe ham te thawng rha a om thai atah anih te thawng kul neh paan thil ham a moeh moenih a?

Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?

32 Te pawt koinih voelh a om vaengah rhoepnah ham laipai a tueih vetih a dawt ni.

Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.

33 Te dongah nangmih boeih khaw, a khuehtawn boeih aka hlah pawt te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih.

So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 Lungkaeh khaw tui, tedae lungkaeh te khaw a dap atah ba nen lae a hlihlim sak eh?

Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?

35 Laimen ham khaw om pawt tih, aek lam khaw hoeikhang laklo pawt dongah phawn a voeihuh. Yaak nah hna aka khueh rhoek loh yaa uh,” a ti nah.

It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
