Luke 19
1 Jesu taw Jeriko khaw awh lut nawh cawhkawng cet phaat hy.
Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
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 there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
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.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in 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.
So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about 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.
When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”
6 Zakea ing angtawn na nuk kqum nawh zeel doena Jesu ce a im awh pah sak hy.
So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
7 Thlang boeih ing ami huh awh sai bi uhy, Thlakthawlh im awh pah vang a ti, ti uhy.
And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
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.
But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it 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.
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too 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 the 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.
While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.
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.
So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then 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.
Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
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 subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule 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.
When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.
16 Lamma cyk thlang ce law nawh a venawh, ‘Bawipa, nang a tangka mina ce a pyh pahqa na meek hy,’ tina hy.
The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’
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.
His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have 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.
The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
19 A boeipa ing, ‘Khawk bau pumha ce uk lah,’ tina hy.
And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’
20 Cekcoengawh tyihzawih thlak chang pynoet bai ce law nawh, ‘Bawipa na mina ve; hikche ing cun nawh pup nyng.
Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.
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 was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did 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?
His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what 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.
Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected 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.
Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25 Cekkhqi ing, ‘Bawipa, tangka mina pahqa ta hawh saw kaw! tina uhy.
‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
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.
He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will 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.
And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
28 Jesu ing ve ak awi ak kqawn coengawh, Jerusalem khaw benna cet oepchoeh hy.
After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, 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,
As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His 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 into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31 U ingawm, ikaw ham nani suh? a ti awhtaw ‘Bawipa ing ngoe hy,’ ti nanih,” tina qawi hy.
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 A tyih qawi ce cet nih nawh anih ing ak kqawn peek amyihna hu hy nih.
So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
33 Mirang ca ce a ni suh li awh, ak takung ing, ‘Ikaw ham meqang ca ce nani suh? tina qawi hy.
As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Cekkqawi ing, Bawipa ing ngoe hy, tina hy nih.
“The Lord needs it,” they answered.
35 Jesu a venna ani haw law coengawh, meqang ca ak khan awh hi phaih pe unawh Jesu ce ngawih sak uhy.
Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
36 Anih a cehnaak lam awh ce thlangkhqi ing hi phaih pe uhy.
As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.
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 approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles 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.
“Blessed is the King who comes 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.
But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
40 Cehlai anih ing, “Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, a mingmih ama mik khy awhtaw, lungkhqi awm khy kaw,’ tinak khqi hy.
“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”
41 Jerusalem pha tawm nawh khawk bau ce a huh awh, kqah hy,
As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He 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.
and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 Na qaalkhqi ing nik chung khoep kawm usaw hu hai nakawng ani teeknaak khawnghi ce pha law kaw.
For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you 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.
They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
45 Cekcoengawh bawkim vawng khuina ce kun nawh ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ce hqek hy.
Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.
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.
He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you 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.
Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.
48 Cehlai ak awi kqawn ce thlang boeih ing a ming ngai peek dawngawh a tym leek ce am hu thai uhy.
Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
