Marku 10
1 Te lamloh thoo tih Judea vaang neh Jordan rhalvangan la cet. Te vaengah a taengah hlangping rhoek koep ha puei uh tih a sainoek bangla amih te koep a thuituen.
Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
2 Tedae Pharisee rhoek loh a paan tih, “Te koinih tongpa te yuu a hlak sak a? tila a dawt uh tih Jesuh te a noemcai uh.
[While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
3 Tedae amih te a doo tih, “Moses loh nangmih balae n' uen,” a ti nah.
He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
4 Te dongah amih loh, “Moses loh yuhlaknah cayol te a daek sak phoeiah a tueih sak,” a ti uh.
[One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
5 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih kah thinthahnah kongah hekah olpaek he nangmih ham a daek.
Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
6 Suentae cuek lamkah tongpa neh huta ni a saii.
[Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
7 Te dongah tongpa loh a manu neh a napa te a toeng vetih a yuu taengah kap ni.
That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
8 Panit te pumsa khat la om ni. Te dongah panit voel pawt tih pumsa khat la om coeng.
Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
9 Te dongah Pathen loh a samtom te hlang loh maa sak boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
10 Im ah khaw hekah a kawng he hnukbang rhoek loh koep a dawt uh.
When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
11 Te vaengah amih te, “A yuu te a hlak tih a tloe aka yunah te tah a yuu soah samphaih coeng.
He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
12 Huta long khaw a va te a maa tih va tloe a sak atah samphaih coeng,” a ti nah.
[God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
13 Te phoeiah camoe rhoek te taek sak ham a taengla a khuen uh. Tedae hnukbang rhoek loh amih te a ho uh.
[One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
14 A hmuh vaengah Jesuh loh a yakdam tih amih te, “Hlah uh laeh camoe rhoek te kamah taengah ha lo uh saeh. Amih te kang uh boeh. Pathen kah ram tah amih kah coeng ni.
When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
15 Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, camoe bangla Pathen kah ram te aka doe pawt te atah ram khuiah kun loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
16 Te phoeiah amih te a poem tih a uem dongah kut a tloeng thil.
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
17 Te phoeiah Jesuh te longpueng ah a caeh li vaengah hlang pakhat loh pak ha cu tih a cungkueng pah. Te phoeiah, “Saya then dungyan hingnah ka pang ham balae ka saii eh?,” tila a dawt. (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesuh loh anih te, “Balae tih kai he a then na ti? Pathen pakhat bueng pawt atah aka then he om pawh.
Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
19 Olpaek te na ming coeng hlang ngawn boeh, samphaih boeh, huencan boeh, laithae boeh, hmuiyoi boeh, na nu na pa te hinyah,” a ti nah.
[But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
20 Te vaengah anih loh, “Saya, te rhoek te ka camoe lamkah boeih ka tuem coeng,” a ti nah.
The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
21 Tedae Jesuh loh anih te a sawt vaengah a lungnah tih, “Nang pakhat na phavawt pueng, cet lamtah, na khueh boeih te yoi lamtah khodeng rhoek pae. Te daengah ni vaan ah khohrhang na dang eh. Te phoeiah halo lamtah kai m'vai,” a ti nah.
Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
22 Tedae hnopai muep aka khueh la a om dongah tekah olka loh moelh a khaih tih kothae doela vik cet.
The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
23 Te vaengah Jesuh loh taengvai a sawt tih a hnukbang rhoek te, “Tangka aka om tah Pathen ram ah kun ham bahoeng kuel mai,” a ti nah.
Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
24 Te dongah Jesuh olka dongah hnukbang rhoek tah a ngaihmang uh. Tedae Jesuh loh amih te koep a doo tih, “Camoe rhoek aih khaw, Pathen kah ram la kun ham te kuel kahlak la om ta.
The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
25 Kuirhang te Pathen kah ram ah a kun lakah kalauk te phamet khui ah a kun ham phoeng ngai,” a ti nah.
It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Tedae te rhoek tah let uh khungdaeng tih amamih te, “Unim aka daem thai ve,” a ti uh.
The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
27 Jesuh loh amih te a sawt tih, “Hlang ham a tloelnah dae Pathen ham tah a tloelnah moenih Pathen taengah tah boeih yoeikoek mai,” a ti nah.
Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
28 Peter loh a tong tih, “Kaimih loh boeih ka toeng uh tih nang kam vai uh coeng he,” a ti nah.
Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
29 Jesuh loh, “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, kai ham neh olthangthen ham im khaw, manuca rhoek khaw, ngannu khaw, manu khaw, napa khaw, ca khaw lohmuen khaw aka toeng te om pawh.
Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
30 Tahae tue kah hnaemtaeknah khuiah pataeng im khaw, manuca khaw, ngannu khaw, manu khaw, ca khaw, lohmuen khaw a pueh yakhat la dang het pawt nim? Aka lo ham tue ah dungyan hingnah khaw om pueng. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Te dongah lamhma te lamhnuk la, lamhnuk te khaw lamhma la muep om ni,” a ti nah.
But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
32 Jerusalem la a caeh uh kah longpueng ah a om uh vaengah Jesuh tah amih taengah a lamhma ana om pah. Te dongah a ngaihmang uh tih aka vai rhoek long khaw a rhih uh. Tedae hlainit te koep a khuen tih amah taengah aka thoeng ham te amih taengah thui ham a tong.
[Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
33 “Jerusalem la n'caeh uh he hlang capa tah khosoihham neh cadaek rhoek taengah a paek vetih a duek ham a boe sak uh phoeiah namtom rhoek taengah a thak uh ni.
“Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
34 Anih te a tamdaeng uh phoeiah a timthoeih uh ni, a boh uh vetih a ngawn uh ni. Tedae hnin thum phoeiah koep thoo ni,” a ti nah.
Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
35 Te vaengah Zebedee capa rhoi James neh Johan loh a paan rhoi tih, “Saya namah taengah kan bih uh te tah kaimih ham nan saii koinih ka ngaih rhoi,” a ti nah.
[Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
36 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih rhoi te, “Nangmih ham kai balae saii sak na ngaih rhoi,” a ti nah.
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Te rhoi long khaw amah te, “Kaimih rhoi he namah kah bantang lamloh pakhat, banvoei lamloh pakhat te m'pae lamtah na thangpomnah dongah ka ngol rhoi eh,” a ti nah.
They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
38 Jesuh loh amih rhoi taengah, “Na bih te na ming rhoi moenih. Ka ok boengloeng te ok ham neh kai aka nuem baptisma dongah nuem ham na noeng aya?,” a ti nah.
But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
39 Te vaengah te rhoi loh amah te, “Ka noeng ngawn,” a ti nah rhoi. Tedae Jesuh loh amih rhoi taengah, “Ka ok boengloeng te na ok rhoi vetih ka nuem baptisma te na nuem rhoi ni.
They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
40 Tedae kai kah banvoei bantang ah ngol ham te kai loh paek ham om pawt tih a hmoel tangtae rhoek ham ni a om,” a ti nah.
But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
41 Parha rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah James neh Johan taengah koe thatlai uh.
The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
42 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a khue tih, “Namtom rhoek aka mawt tah amamih aka vueinan tih amamih khuikah aka len loh amih aka huttet la a ngai uh te na ming uh.
Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
43 Nangmih ah te tlam te om boel saeh. Tedae nangmih ah a len la om aka ngaih long tah nangmih kah tueihyoeih la om saeh.
But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
44 Te phoeiah nangmih ah lamhma la om ham aka ngaih long tah hlang boeih kah sal la om saeh.
Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
45 Hlang capa tah hlang thotat sak ham pawt tih sak ham pah ham neh a hinglu te ping kah tlansum la paek ham ni halo,” a ti nah.
[You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
46 Te phoeiah Jerikho la pawk uh tih Jerikho lamkah a hnukbang rhoek khaw, hlangping khaw huhut khong uh. Te vaengah Timaeus capa Bartimaeus buhbih mikdael te long taengah ngol.
[On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
47 Nazareth Jesuh om tila a yaak vaengah koe pang tih, “David capa Jesuh kai n'rhen lah,” a ti nah.
When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
48 Te dongah anih te hilphah sak ham muep a sim uh. Tedae te long khaw anah la lat pang tih, “David capa, kai n'rhen lah,” a ti.
Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
49 Te dongah Jesuh te pai tih, “Anih ke khue uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah mikdael te a khue uh tih, “Thoo, na ngaimong sak, nang n'khue coeng,” a ti nauh.
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
50 Te long khaw a himbai te a voeih tih a cungpet doela Jesuh taengah pawk.
He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
51 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh anih te a doo tih, “Na ngaih te kan saii pawn eh,” a ti nah. Te dongah mikdael loh Jesuh taengah, “Rhabboni, ka hmuh van lah mako,” a ti nah.
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
52 Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Cet laeh, namah kah tangnah loh nang n'khang coeng,” a ti nah. Te vaengah tlek a hmuh tih longpueng ah Jeusuh pahoi a vai.
Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
