Luka 19
1 Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Zakkhaeus la a khue te lawt om. Anih tah mangmu boei neh kuirhang la om.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Anih long khaw Jesuh te hmuh hamla a toem. Tedae a pumrho he merheh la a om dongah hlangping te aep thai pawh.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass 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 as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is 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 stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore 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.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also 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 seek and to save that which was lost."
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.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
12 Te dongah, “Tongpa hlangtang pakhat tah, a ram loh ham kho hla la cet tih ha voei hamla cai.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
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.
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until 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 citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
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.
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
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, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 Te phoeiah pakhat loh ha pawk tih, ' Boeipa, nang kah mina tah himbaica khuiah ka khueh tih ka tung he.
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
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.
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
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, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
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.
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 Te phoeiah aka pai rhoek te, ' Anih taengkah mina te lo uh lamtah mina lungrha aka khueh te pae uh,’ a ti nah.
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Nangmih taengah ka thui, Aka khueh boeih te a paek thil vetih, aka khueh pawt tah a khueh te khaw a loh pahni.
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which 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.
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, 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,
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, 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 your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 khat loh nangmih rhoi te, ' Ba ham lae na hlam?' tila n' dawt atah, ' Boeipa loh a ngoe, ' ti nah,” a ti nah.
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
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.
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
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.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
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.
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty 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, "Blessed is 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.
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over 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 known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
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 days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem 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 dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45 Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
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 is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
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.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
