Luke 17
1 Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh: “Thlang ak thawlh sak ik-oeih taw awm hly ngai ngai hy, cehlai thawlhnaak aham ce a ik-oeih ak awm sakkungkhqi ce khaw na map uhy.
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible for the stumbling-blocks not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 Vawhkaw naasenkhqi thawlh sak anglakawhtaw cawhkaw thlang ce a hawng awh cang neetnaak lung awi sak nawh tuilik khuina nik khawng man anih aham leek hly bet hy.
It is better for him if a donkey-powered millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Cedawngawh ak leek na qalqing uh. Na koeinaa a thawlh awhtaw, anih ce toel lah, ang zut awhtaw, ak khan awh qeenkhaw ngai law.
Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Nak khan awh khaw hypoet awh ak khqih dy awh thawlh nawh, ak khqih dy bai lawt na venawh, ‘Zut nyng’ a ti awhtaw qeenkhaw ngai law pe,” tinak khqi hy.
And if he should sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times in the day turn back, saying, I repent, thou will forgive him.
5 Ceityihkhqi ing Bawipa venawh, “Kaimih ak cangnaak ve taai law sak lah! tina uhy.
And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.
6 A mingmih a venawh, “Antlam ak ui teh mah cangnaak nami taak mantaw, vawhkaw thaithing a venawh, ‘Nak kqa mah na phu qu nawhtaw tuicunli na khawng qu lah,’ nami tinaak awh ce, nami tinaak amyihna namik awi ce ngai law kaw.
And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.
7 Nangmih ak khuiawh kaw thlang pynoet ing, laikawk ak nawk, am awhtaw tuu ak khai tyihzawih pynoet ta mai lah seh. Cawhkaw tyihzawih ce laikawk nakaw a pha law kqoeng awh,
But which of you having a bondman plowing or feeding livestock, who, when he comes in from the field, will straightaway say, After coming near, sit down?
8 Buh lo hlah, leng qu nawhtaw buh ka ai boeih hlan dy ni qeh; cekcoengawh aw a ai bit kawp ti,’ am namik tinaak hly nu?
Will he not rather say to him, Prepare what I may dine, and having gird thyself, serve me until I eat and drink, and after these things thou will eat and drink?
9 A sai hly kawi ik-oeih ce a sai dawngawh a tyihzawih ak khan awh zeelnaak awi ak kqawn hly re aw?
Does he have a favor for that bondman because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Cemyih lawtna nangmih awm nami sai hly kawi ik-oeih boeih nami sai coengawh, ‘Amak kawihka tyihzawih na ni ka mi awm hy; ka sai hly kawi qoe ni ka mi sai hy,’ ti uh,” tinak khqi hy.
Thus ye also, when ye did all the things that were commanded you, say, We are unprofitable bondmen, because we have done what we are obligated to do.
11 Jerusalem khaw benna, Samari ingkaw Kalili khawqi benna kawng cet hy.
And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Vangca pynoet ak khuiawh, a kun awh, mynqaai ak neh thlang thlanghqa ing pan law uhy. Ak hla nakawng dyi unawh,
And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him.
13 khawteh na, Bawipa Jesu, kaimih ve nim qeen khqi lah! tinawh qeennaak thoeh uhy.
And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us.
14 Cekkhqi ce a huh awh, “Cet unawh taw, khawsoeih a venawh nami pum ce huh uh,” tinak khqi hy. A ming voei awh ce a mingmih ce qoei boeih uhy.
And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed.
15 A mingmih ak khuiawh kaw thlang pynoet ing, mynqaai a qoei ce a huh awh, hlat law tlaih nawh, khawteh na khy nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God.
16 Jesu a khawkung awh ce ang tluk doena zeelnaak awi kqawn hy; anih taw Samari thlang na awm hy.
And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesu ing, Thlanghqa na qoei boeih uhyk ti my? Thlang kow tloek taw hana nu ami awm?
And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Vawhkaw khaw lawk thlang ti kaa taw ak chang tloek ak khuiawh Khawsa kyihcah aham ak voei law pynoet ca awm am awm nawh nu? tinawh doet law pynoet ca awm am awm nawh nu? tinawh doet khqi hy.
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?
19 Ce ak thlang a venawh, “Tho nawhtaw cet hlah, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy,” tina hy.
And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.

And questioned by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation,
21 'Vawh ni a awm,’ am awhtaw, ‘Cawh ni a awm,’ tinawh u ing awm ap kqawn thai hy. Khawsa ram taw nangmih ak khuiawh ni a awm,” tinak khqi hy.
nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.
22 Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi venawh, “Thlanghqing Capa a khawnghi hypoet ca awm huh aham nami ngaihnaak a khawnghi ce law kaw, cehlai am hu kawm uk ti.
And he said to the disciples, The days will come when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see it.
23 thlangkhqi ing, ‘cawh ni a awm hy ce!’ am awhtaw, ‘Vawh ni a awm hy ve!’ ni tinak khqi kaw. Cekkhqi hu awh koeh cet uh.
And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.
24 Thlanghqing Capa a khawnghi taw khaw phla balh balh nawh khan ak kqannaak awhkawng a dytnaak dyna ak coei amyihna awm kaw.
For just as the lightning, its flashing from under the sky to under the sky, illuminates, so will the Son of man be in his day.

But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of man.
27 Novah ing lawng khuina a kun dy, thlangkhqi ing ai uhy, aw uhy, zu lo unawh vaa ta uhy. Cehlai tuiliu ce law nawh a mingmih ce liu khqi boeih hy.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

And likewise as it happened in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.

But in that day Lot went out from Sodom he rained fire and brimstone from the sky, and destroyed them all.

It will be according to these things in that day the Son of man is revealed.

In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind.

Remember Lot's wife.

Two will be grinding together. The one woman will be taken, and the other woman will be left.
36 Cekcoengawh, “Lo awh thlang pakkhih awm kaw; pynoet ce lawh na awm kawmsaw pynoet cetaw cehtaak na awm kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.
