Luke 19
1 Jesu taw Jeriko khaw awh lut nawh cawhkawng cet phaat hy.
And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Ce a khawk khuiawh Zakea ak mingnaak thlang pynoet awm hy; anih taw mangmu ak cawikhqi ak ukkung na awm nawh boei hy.
And behold, a man called by name Zacchæus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.
3 Jesu ve ikawmyih ak thlang hy voei nu tice huh aham ngaih hy; cehlai thlak nem na a awm dawngawh, thlang kqeng anglakawh Jesu ce am hu thai hy.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 Cedawngawh Jesu a lawnaak kawi lam a hai benna a nang dawng nawh Jesu huh aham thai thing a saw na kaai hy.
And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 Jesu ing ce a hun ce a pha awh, hang mang nawh toek hy, “Zakea, nuk kqum law hlah, tuhngawi na im awh pah hly nyng,” tina hy.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.
6 Zakea ing angtawn na nuk kqum nawh zeel doena Jesu ce a im awh pah sak hy.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Thlang boeih ing ami huh awh sai bi uhy, Thlakthawlh im awh pah vang a ti, ti uhy.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.
8 Cehlai Zakea ing dyi nawh Bawipa venawh, “Bawipa, toek lah! Tuh ka khawhthem ik-oeih ak kengvang ce hahqahkhqi pe vang nyng, thlang thai na nawh ik-oeih ka lawh peek awhtaw, a pyh pupthli na sah tlaih vang nyng,” tina hy.
And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.
9 Jesu ing a venawh, “Tuhngawi awh ve a ipkhui awh thaawngnaak pha law hawh hy, ve ak thlang awm Abraham a capa lawt ni.
And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Ak qeengkhqi thaawng aham ni Thlanghqing Capa ve a law,” tinak khqi hy.
For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Ve ak awi ve a ming ngai hui awh, Jerusalem khaw ce zoe hawh nawh, thlangkhqi ing Khawsa qam ce dang hly pahoei hawh hy tinawh amik poek dawngawh, cekkhqi venawh nyhtahnaak awi pynoet kqawn pek khqi hy.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 A mingmih a venawh, “Boei na ak awm thlang pynoet taw Sangpahrang na awm nawh ak voei law tlaih na khawk hla soeih na ce cet hy.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Cedawngawh a tyihzawih thlang pahqa tloek ce khy nawh tangka mina pahqa ce pehy. Ka law tlaih hlan dy vawhkaw tangka ing bi ana bi uh,’ tinak khqi hy.
And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come.
14 Cehlai anih amak ngaih thlangkhqi ing anih a huawh thlang tyi unawh, ‘Ve ak thlang ve kaimih a Sangpahrang na awm aham am ngaih unyng,” tinawh awi pat uhy.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.
15 Cehlai anih ce Sanpahrang na a awm coengawh taw a im na ce voei hy. Cawhkaw tangka ing ikawmyihna a meek ami huh hy voei, tice sim a ngaih dawngawh a tyihzawihkhqi ce khy nawh tangka a peek thlangkhqi venna tyi hy.
And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 Lamma cyk thlang ce law nawh a venawh, ‘Bawipa, nang a tangka mina ce a pyh pahqa na meek hy,’ tina hy.
And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.
17 Cawh a boei ing, ‘Ka tyihzawih thlak leek, lah hyk ti. Ik-oeih ak zawica awh awm ypawm na awm hyk ti, khawk bau pahqa ce uk lah,’ tina hy.
And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 A tyihzawih pakkhihnaak thlang ce law bai nawh, ‘Bawipa, na tangka mina a pyh pumha na meek hy,’ tina bai hy.
And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
19 A boeipa ing, ‘Khawk bau pumha ce uk lah,’ tina hy.
And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Cekcoengawh tyihzawih thlak chang pynoet bai ce law nawh, ‘Bawipa na mina ve; hikche ing cun nawh pup nyng.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
21 Nang taw thlak ciit ngat na awm tiksaw, nik kqih nyng. Amna taaknaak hun awh lo tiksaw, amna sawnaak awh at hyk ti,’ tina hy.
for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.
22 Cawh a boeipa ing, ‘Nang tyihzawih thlakche, namah ak awi kqawn amyihna awi ni deng kawng! Kai ve thlak ciit ngat na awm nyng, am ka taaknaak awh lo nyng saw am ka sawnaak awh ka ah ce sim zawk hyk ti my?
He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
23 Cawh man ni ka tangka ce tangka ak thungkhqi kut awh pe tiksaw, ka law tlaih awh, a ca ing ka huhnaak bawk voei?’ tina hy.
then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
24 Cekcoengawh cawhkaw ak dyi thlangkhqi venawh, ‘A venawh kaw tangka mina pynoet ce lawh pe unawh taw tangka mina pahqa ak ta venawh pe uh,’ tinak khqi hy.
And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.
25 Cekkhqi ing, ‘Bawipa, tangka mina pahqa ta hawh saw kaw! tina uhy.
And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
26 Cehlai anih ing ak ta ak thlang a venawh sap pek khqoet kawmsaw, amak ta ak thlang ce taw, a taak ang cang awm lawh pe kaw.
I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Cehlai kai a qaalkhqi, a mingmih ak khan awh Sangpahrang na kai ama nik ngaih thlangkhqi ce vawh haw law unawh taw ka haiawh him lah uh,’ tinak khqi hy” tinak khqi hy.
But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Jesu ing ve ak awi ak kqawn coengawh, Jerusalem khaw benna cet oepchoeh hy.
And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Bethphage ingkaw Bethani khaw ce pha tawm nawh Olive ami ti Tlang ce a pha awh, a hubat thlang pakkhih ce haina tyi nawh cekqawi a venawh,
And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 Nani hai awhkaw khaw na ce cet nih nawhtaw, khawk khuina nani kun awh, u ingawm amang ngawihnaak khawi meqang ca amik pai ce hu kawm nik ti. Sut nih nawhtaw vena haw law nih.
saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
31 U ingawm, ikaw ham nani suh? a ti awhtaw ‘Bawipa ing ngoe hy,’ ti nanih,” tina qawi hy.
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.
32 A tyih qawi ce cet nih nawh anih ing ak kqawn peek amyihna hu hy nih.
And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 Mirang ca ce a ni suh li awh, ak takung ing, ‘Ikaw ham meqang ca ce nani suh? tina qawi hy.
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Cekkqawi ing, Bawipa ing ngoe hy, tina hy nih.
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Jesu a venna ani haw law coengawh, meqang ca ak khan awh hi phaih pe unawh Jesu ce ngawih sak uhy.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.
36 Anih a cehnaak lam awh ce thlangkhqi ing hi phaih pe uhy.
And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
37 Olive Tlang awhkawng lam a nuk kqumnaak hun ce a pha tawm awh, a hu awh ak bat thlang kqeng ing kawpoek kyi ik-oeihkhqi ce ami huh awh zeelmang doena khy uhy:
And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;
38 Bawipa ming ing ak law taw zoseennaak awm seh!” “Khawk khan awh qoepnaak awm seitaw sawsang khyt awh boeimang seh!” tinawh Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy.
saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Thlang kqeng anglakawhkaw Farasi thlang thlang vang ing Jesu a venawh, “Cawngpyikung, na hubatkhqi ce kaa na lah,” tina uhy.
And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Cehlai anih ing, “Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a mingmih ama mik khy awhtaw, lungkhqi awm khy kaw,’ tinak khqi hy.
And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 Jerusalem pha tawm nawh khawk bau ce a huh awh, kqah hy,
And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 “Nang, nang ing tuh tloek awh nang aham ngaihqepnaak ak haw lawkung ve na sim mantaw – cehlai tuh awhtaw namik ni thuh pe hawh hy.
saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 Na qaalkhqi ing nik chung khoep kawm usaw hu hai nakawng ani teeknaak khawnghi ce pha law kaw.
For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 Na vawng khuiawh namah ingkaw na canaakhqi dek khawng law na kawm uh. Na venawh Khawsa a lawnaak tym ce am na hat dawngawh, vawhkaw lung ak poeng qu ve pynoet ca awm am hang kawm uh,” tina hy.
and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Cekcoengawh bawkim vawng khuina ce kun nawh ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ce hqek hy.
And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,
46 A mingmih na ce, “Ka im ve cykcahnaak im na awm kaw,’ tinawh qee na awm hy; cehlai nangmih ingtaw, quk-aikhqi awmnaak a hun,’ na sai uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 Myngawi bawkim awh thlang cawngpyi hy. Cehlai khawsoeih boeikhqi, anaa awi cawngpyi kungkhqi ingkaw thlang kqeng ak sawikungkhqi ingtaw anih ce him aham ngaih uhy.
And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
48 Cehlai ak awi kqawn ce thlang boeih ing a ming ngai peek dawngawh a tym leek ce am hu thai uhy.
and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
