Luka 19
1 Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,
2 Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Zakkhaeus la a khue te lawt om. Anih tah mangmu boei neh kuirhang la om.
A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,
3 Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.
4 Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.
5 Tekah hmuen la a pha vaengah Jesuh tah oeloe tih anih te, “Zakkhaeus, a loe la rhum, tihnin ah nang im ah ka naeh ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.
6 Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.
7 Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.
8 A pai neh Zakkhaeus loh Boeipa taengah, “Boeipa, Ka khuehtawn he rhakthuem he khodaeng rhoek ka paek. Hlang khat khat kah hno khat khat ni ka rhawt pah bal atah rhaepli la ka thuung coeng he,” a ti nah.
And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.
9 Te dongah anih te Jesuh loh, “Anih tah Abraham capa la a om van dongah tihnin ah tah khangnah loh he imkhui la pai coeng.
And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.
10 Hlang Capa ha pawk he aka poci te toem ham neh khang ham rhoe pai ni,” a ti.
For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.
11 Jerusalem a pha tom vaengah a yaak neh Pathen kah ram a tueng hamla cai tomlael coeng tila a poek dongah nuettahnah pakhat te a thap tih a thui.
And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.
12 Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.
13 Te dongah a sal hlangrha te a khue tih mina lungrha te amih taengah a paek. Te phoeiah amih te, ' Amah ka pawk hil thimpom uh,’ a ti nah.
And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.
14 Tedae a pilnam rhoek loh anih te a hmuhuetuh. Te dongah amah hnukah laipai tloep a tueih uh tih, ' Kaimih soah a manghai ham he ka ngaih uh moenih,’ a ti na uh.
But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.
15 Ram te a loh tih amah ha mael vaengah tah tangka a paek a sal rhoek te amah taengla a khue tih metla a thimpom uh khaw ming hamla a dawt.
And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.
16 Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.
17 Te vaengah anih te, ' Then, sal then a yit dongah uepom la na om tih, kho parha soah saithainah aka khueh la om laeh,’ a ti nah.
And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.
18 Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds.
19 Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.
20 Te phoeiah pakhat loh ha pawk tih, ' Boeipa, nang kah mina tah himbaica khuiah ka khueh tih ka tung he.
And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth;
21 Dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la na om dongah namah khaw kang rhih. Na khueh pawt te na phueih tih na tuh pawt te na ah,’ a ti nah.
Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.
22 Anih te tah, ' Na ka lamkah vanbangla nang taengah ol ka tloek ni, sal thae aw, kai he dikkhih dikkhaeh hlang la ka om te na ming coeng. Ka khueh pawt te ka poh tih ka tuh pawt te ka ah het a?
He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;
23 Te vaengah balae tih ka tangka te caboei dongla na tloeng pawh. Kai ka pawk vaengah a casai neh ka dang kolo mako,” a ti nah.
Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?
24 Te phoeiah aka pai rhoek te, ' Anih taengkah mina te lo uh lamtah mina lungrha aka khueh te pae uh,’ a ti nah.
And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.
25 Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.
26 Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
27 Tedae amih soah kai manghai sak ham ngaih pawh ka rhal rhoek te pahoi hang khuen uh lamtah ka hmaiah ngawn uh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.
28 Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Olives tlang a ti uh taengkah Bethphage neh Bethany te vat a pha vaengah hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
30 “Rhaldan kah kho la cet rhoi, a khuila na kun rhoi vaengah laakca a pael te na hmuh rhoi ni. Te soah hlang ngol noek pawt dae hlam lamtah hang khuen rhoi.
Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.
31 khat loh nangmih rhoi te, ' Ba ham lae na hlam?' tila n' dawt atah, ' Boeipa loh a ngoe, ' ti nah,” a ti nah.
And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.
32 Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.
33 laak ca te a hlam rhoi vaengah a boei loh amih rhoi te, “Balae tih laak ca te na hlam rhoi,” a ti nah.
And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?
34 Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
And they said, The Lord has need of him.
35 Te te Jesuh taengla a khuen rhoi. Te phoeiah laak ca te a himbai neh a khuk uh tih Jesuh te a soah a ngol sakuh.
And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.
36 A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.
37 Olives tlang kah singling te a pha tom vaengah a thaomnah te hnukbang rhaengpuei loh pahoi boeih a hmuh uh. Te boeih nen te omngaih uh tih Pathen te ol neh rhuprhup a thangthen uh.
And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;
38 “Boeipa ming neh aka pawk manghai tah a yoethen, vaan ah ngaimongnah, thangpomnah tah a sangkoek ah om saeh,” a ti uh.
Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.
39 Te dongah hlangping lamkah Pharisee hlangvang loh amah te, “Saya, na hnukbang rhoek te toel lah,” a ti nah.
And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.
40 Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.
41 Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,
42 “Tahae kah ngaimongnah he nang long khaw tihnin ah na ming koinih, tedae na mikhmuh lamloh a thuh coeng.
Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.
43 Khohnin loh nang taengla ha pawk vetih na rhal rhoek loh nang te vaam n'too thil ni. Te vaengah nang te n'dum vetih voeivang ah nang te ng' et ni.
For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,
44 Te phoeiah namah neh na khuikah na ca rhoek te a hnaa uh ni. Namamih kah hiphoelnah tue te na ming pawt yueng, na khuikah lungto sokah lungto pakhat pataeng hmaai uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.
45 Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
And he went into the Temple and put out those who were trading there,
46 Amih te, “' Ka im tah thangthuinah im la om ni, 'tila a daek coeng dae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah khuirhung la na saii uh,” a ti nah.
Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.
47 Te phoeiah hnin takuem bawkim khuiah om tih a thuituen. Tedae khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh pilnam kah a congkhang long tah anih te poci sak ham a mae uh.
And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;
48 Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.
