Luka 19
1 Jerikho te a kun thil tih a hil.
And having entered, he 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 lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, 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.
and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
4 Tedae a khum ham te a om coeng dongah a hmai la a khal tih amah hmuh ham thaibah dongla yoeng.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.
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 Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, 'Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'
6 Te dongah suntla tok tih Jesuh a doe te omngaih coeng.
and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
7 Boeih a hmuh uh vaengah cai uh tih, “Hlang tholh taengah pah hamla kun,” a ti uh.
and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying — 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'
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 Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'
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 unto him — 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as 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 the 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.
And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.
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 man of birth went on to a far country, to take to 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.
and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business — 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.
and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one 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.
'And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.
16 Te vaengah aka pawk lamhma loh, ' Boeipa, nang kahmina pakhat te mina parha ka kum thil,’ a ti nah.
'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain 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, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.
18 Aka pawk pabae long khaw, ' Nang kah, mina loh mina panga a sak boeipa,’ a ti nah.
'And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;
19 Anih khaw, ' Nang loh kho panga om thil van,’ a ti nah.
and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.
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, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
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 was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst 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?
'And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what 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.
and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received 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.
'And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds —
25 Te vaengah anih te, ' Boeipa, mina parha a khueh ta,’ a ti na uh.
(and they said to him, Sir, he hath 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.
for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
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 those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
28 Te te a thui phoeiah a hmai la cet tih Jerusalem la luei.
And having said these things, he went on before, 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 to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his 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.
having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, 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.
and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him — The Lord hath need of it.'
32 Te dongah a tueih rhoi loh a caeh rhoi vaengah a ti nah bangla a hmuh rhoi.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to 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.
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose ye the colt?'
34 Te rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa loh a ngoe,” a ti nah.
and they said, 'The Lord hath need of 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.
and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.
36 A caeh vaengah a himbai te long ah a phaih uh.
And as he is going, they were spreading their garments 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.
and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works 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] he who is coming, a king 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 certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'
40 Tedae a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui, amih paa uh koinih lungto rhoek loh pang uh ni,” a ti nah.
and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'
41 Khopuei te a tueng tom vaengah a rhah thil.
And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he 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 thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine 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.
'Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee 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 lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'
45 Bawkim la a kun neh hno aka yoi rhoek te a vai.
And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
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 hath been written, My house is a house of prayer — but ye 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.
And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him — also the chiefs of the people —
48 Tedae pilnam loh Jesuh te a hmaitoh tih boeih a hnatun dongah metla a saii uh ham khaw ming uh pawh.
and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
