Luke 11
1 Hypoet taw Bawipa Jesu amah doeng hun oet awh cykcah hy. Ak cykcah coengawh, a hubat pynoet ing a venawh, “Bawipa, Johan ing a hubatkhqi cykcahnaak a cawngpyi a myihna cykcahnaak ni cawngpyi lawt lah,” tina hy.
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught his disciples.”
2 Cedawngawh a mingmih a venawh, “Namik cykcah awh vemyihna cykcah uh, “Kaimih a Pa, nang ming kqihchahnaak awm seh,
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Myngawi ai tat buh ni pek khqi lah.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Thlakthawlh ak khan awh qeenkhaw ka ming ngai a myihna, kaimih a thawlhnaak awh qeenkhaw ngai law lah. Sykzoeknaak awh koeh ni sawi khqi,” tinak khqi hy.
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5 Cekcoengawh a mingmih a venawh, “Nangmih ak khuiawh thlang pynoet ing pyi pynoet ta mai lah seh, thanlung awh cawhkaw a pyi pynoet a venawh cet nawh, ‘Ka pyi, phaihpi cun thum awh nik pu cang lah,
He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 khawlawng nakaw ka pyi law nawh, ka toen peek ham ikaw am ta nyng,' tina hy.
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 Cawh ipkhui na ak awm thlang ing, ‘koeh ni ngeu koeh ni lawn; chawh khai hawh nyng, ka cakhqi awm ip boeih hawh uhy, tho nawh am ni pe hly thai voel nyng,’ tina hy.
and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
8 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ce am tho nawh phaihpi ce am pe thai hy, thoeh khak saw a pyi na a awm a dawngawh tho kawmsaw a ngaih zah pe kaw.
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi: Thoeh lah ni pe kaw; sui lah hu kawp ti; khoek lah nang aham awngna awm kaw.
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10 Ak thoeh ingtaw dang nawh; ak sui ingtaw hu hy; ak khoek thlang aham chawh ce awng pe kaw.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Nangmih pa na namik awmkhqi ak khuiawh, na ca ing phaihpi a thoeh mantaw lung ak pe namik awm hly nu? Nga a thoeh awh khqui namik pe hly nu?
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 Aihtui a thoeh mantaw ceita-ai namik pe hly nu?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 Nangmih thlak leek am khqi ing za, nami cakhqi aham ik-oeih leek peek aham nami sim awhtaw, khawk khan nakaw ak awm pa ing ak thoehkhqi venawh Ciim Myihla ce izah nu a peek khqoet kaw!” tinak khqi hy.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14 Jesu ing awi amak pau thai thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng qaai ce hqek pehy. Qaai ing anih ce a cehtaak coengawh, awi ak myh thlang ce pau hy, cedawngawh thlang kqeng amik kawpoek kyi hy.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
15 Cehlai thlang kqeng ingtaw, “Beelzebub” qaaikhqi ak caming ni qaai a hqek,” tina uhy.
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 Ak chang tloek bai ingtaw, khan benna kaw hatnaak huh sak aham noek a dak uhy.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Jesu ing a mingmih ak kawpoek ce a sim dawngawh a mingmih a venawh: “Qam awm a ming phek bo qu awhtaw qeeng kaw; ipkhui awm aming phek bo qu awhtaw tlu kaw.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Setan awm a ming phek bo qu mantaw, ikawmyihna a qam ang dyih thai kaw? Kai ing Beelzebub ak caming qaaikhqi hqek hy namiti a dawngawh ve ak awi ka nik kqawn peek khqi.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 Kai ing qaaikhqi ce Beelzebub ak caming ka hqek khqi awhtaw u ak caming nu nangmih a hubatkhqi ing qaaikhqi ami hqek lawt? Cawhtaw a mingmih ce nangmih awi anik dengkungkhqi na awm hawh kawm uh ce.
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Cehlai qaaikhqi ce Khawsa kutply ing ka hqek awhtaw, Khawsa qam taw nangmih a venawh pha hawh hy.
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 Ak thamah thlang ing, ak cimsum pala toen nawh a im ce a qeh awhtaw a khawhkhamkhqi ce syng hy.”
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Cehlai ak thamah khqoet thlang ing anih ce tu nawh a noeng awhtaw, anih ing a ypnaak cimsum pala ce a lawh peek coengawh a khawhkhamkhqi ce plam pe kaw.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armour in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 U awm kai ama nik dyih pyi taw kai anik qaalnaak na awm nawh, u awm kai ama nik cawi pyi taw ak theh thlang na awm hy.
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 Qaaiche pynoet ce thlang ak kawk khuiawh kawng ak cawn coengawh, cet hyhy nawh dymnaak ce sui hlai hy am hu hy. Cekcoengawh taw, ‘ka cehtaak im na ce cet tlaih mai vang nyng,’ tihy.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25 Voei tlaih nawh a toek awh, im nawt qu hqeet nawh ak cimcaih na ak awm ce hu hy.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Cawhtaw amah anglakawh ak se khqoet qaai khqih ce law pyi nawh ami lut coengawh awm uhy. Cawh cawhkaw thlang ce ak cyk awhkawng lakawh nauh khqoet hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Ve ak awi ve Jesu ing ak kqawn awh, thlang kqeng ak khuiawh kaw nu pynoet ing, “Nang anik takung ingkaw suk anik awk sakkung nu taw a zoseen soeih hy,” tina hy.
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28 Jesu ing, “Khawsa ak awi za nawh ak ngaikhqi ce ami zoseen khqoet hy,” tina hy.
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 Thlang a doem law khqoet khqoet awh, Jesu ing, “Tuhawhkaw cadilkhqi ve cadil chekhqi ni. Kawpoek kyi hatnaak ce sui hlai uhy, Jonah a hatnaak doeng am awhtaw ak chang hatnaak am hu kawm uh.
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 Jonah taw Nenivi thlangkhqi hatnaak na a awm myihna, Thlanghqing Capa awm tuhawhkaw cadilkhqi hamna hatnaak na awm lawt kaw.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 Awi dengnaak khawnghi awh kham benna kaw Sangphrang nu taw ve a cadil awhkaw thlangkhqi mi dyi haih kawmsaw a mingmih ce thawlh sak kaw; kawtih anih cetaw Solomon a cyihnaak ak ngai na law hy, tuh Solomon anglakawh ak bau khqoet awm hy.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgement with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
32 Nenivi awhkaw thlangkhqi ce awidengnaak nyn awh ve a cadil awhkaw thlangkhqi ing boe hly sak uhy; kawtih a mingmih cetaw Jonah ak awih kqawnnaak awh zut uhy, Jonah anglakawh ak bau khqoet ce vawh awm hy.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 U ingawm mai a vang awh ik-oeih ing a hlipnaak awh am ta khawi hy, dawn ingawm am myk khawi hy. Ipkhui awh amik law thlangkhqi ing vangnaak ce ami huh thainaak aham, maih vang a mim hawihnaak awh ni a mim hawih hy.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 Mik taw pum a maivang na awm hy. Na mik a leek mantaw na pum boeih ce dang hy.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Na pum awhkaw maihvang ak awm ce amam thannaak aham ngaih ta lah uh.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36 Cedawngawh, na pum boeih ce dang nawh, am thannaak ve tehca awm ama awm awhtaw, na pum ce maivang ing ak coei amyihna dang boeih kaw,” tinaak khqi hy.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37 Ve ak awikhqi ak kqawn boeih coengawh, Farasi thlang pynoet ing a im awh buh ak pan na Jesu ce khy hy; cedawngawh anih a im na buh ak pan na cet hy.
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 Cehlai Jesu ing kut a silh kaana buh a ai ce Farasi thlang ing a huh awh ang ngaih na kyi hy.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Cawh Bawipa ing a venawh, “Nangmih Farasikhqi ing boet awm, beei awm a leng ben taw sil pai hlai uhyk ti, ak khui benna taw ak pyh ngaihnaak ingkaw thawlhnaak ing be uhy.
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Nangmih thlakqawkhqi! Ak khan ben ak silkung ing ak khui ben awm am sil nawh nu?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Beei ak khuiawh ak awmkhqi ce hahqahkhqi venawh pe lah uh, cawhtaw nangmih aham ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce caih kaw.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 Nangmih Farasi tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, nangmih ing sawngsing paiboeng ingkaw tawi a an soepkep dyt awh pahqa pynoet pe pai hlai uhyk ti, dyngnaak ingkaw Khawsa a lungnaak ce dalqa na uhyk ti. A hu awh kawk khqi ve a hlah phlam kaana lamma awhkawk khqi ce awm nami sai aham awm hy.
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 Nangmih Farasi tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, sinakawk awh ngawihnaak ak leek leek awh na ming ngawih lungna unawh ik-oeih zawihnaak hun awh thlang ing kqihchahnaak ani peekkhqi ce ngaih uhyk ti.
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Nangmih khaw map uhyk ti, nangmih taw mik hatnaak amak awm phyi, thlang ing a leh mailai ing myih uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 Anaa awi ak lah ing Jesu ak awi ce hlat pehy, “Cawngpyikung, ve a ik-oeihkhqi ve nak kqawn awh kaimih awm ni zyi khqi pahoei hawh hyk ti,” tina hy.
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 Jesu ing, “Nangmih anaa awi ak sim tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, thlang ing a noeng tloei phyih ce phyih sak uhyk ti, cehlai na mimah ingtaw nami kutply pynoet ca ingawm bi aham am ngaih uhyk ti.
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Nangmih khaw map uhyk ti, nami pakhqi ing ami na him tawnghakhqi ak phyi imkhqi ce sak pe uhyk ti.
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Cedawngawh nami pakhqi ing ami na sai ce nangmih ing caksak hawh uhyk ti; nami pakhqi ing tawnghakhqi ce ana him uhy, nangmih ing tawnghakhqi ak phyi im ce sak pe uhyk ti.
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Ve a dawngawh, Khawsa ing a cyihnaak ing, ‘Tawnghakhqi ingkaw ceityihkhqi ce a mingmih a venawh tyih pe kawng nyng saw, thlang vang ce a mingmih ing him kawm uh, thlang vang ce the a kha na kawm uh,’ tina hy.
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 Cedawngawh khawmdek a syn cyk awhkawng tawnghakhqi boeih a thi ak lawng ce ve a khuk awhkaw thlangkhqi a hut na awm hawh hy.
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 A bel a thi awhkawng bawkthang ingkaw beeknaak a hun anglak law awh ami him Zekariah a thi dyna. Oeih, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, vemyihkhqi boeih ve ve a khuk awhkaw thlangkhqi hut na awm kaw.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Anaa awi ak sim nangmih tloek, khaw map uhyk ti, nangmih ing cyihnaak cabi ce ak chang na ta valh uhyk ti. Na mimah awm am kun uhyk ti, kun aham ak ngaih thlangkhqi aham awm kham pe lak law uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Woe to you Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 Jesu ing ce a hun ce a cehtaak coengawh, Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing anih ak khanawh amik kaw am law nawh awi khawzah doet uhy,
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54 awi ak kqawnnaak awh a thawlhnaak tu peek aham doen uhy.
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
