Luke 19
1 Jesu taw Jeriko khaw awh lut nawh cawhkawng cet phaat hy.
And [Jesus] entered and passed 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, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief among the publicans, 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 before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-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 saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, 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, That he was gone to be guest 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 Zaccheus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] four-fold.
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 to him, This 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 is come 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 spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately 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 his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy 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 a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to 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, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man 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.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
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 to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been 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, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 A boeipa ing, ‘Khawk bau pumha ce uk lah,’ tina hy.
And he said likewise to him, 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 have 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 what thou layedst not down, and reapest what 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?
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest me to be an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, 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 gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own 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 to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
25 Cekkhqi ing, ‘Bawipa, tangka mina pahqa ta hawh saw kaw! tina uhy.
(And they said to 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.
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what 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 those my enemies, who 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 before, ascending towards 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 had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent 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 ye into the village over against [you]; in which at your entering ye will find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
31 U ingawm, ikaw ham nani suh? a ti awhtaw ‘Bawipa ing ngoe hy,’ ti nanih,” tina qawi hy.
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say to him, Because 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 and found even as he had said to 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 of it said to 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 cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.
36 Anih a cehnaak lam awh ce thlangkhqi ing hi phaih pe uhy.
And as he went, they spread their clothes 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 when he had come nigh, even now 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 that 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 [be] 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 among the multitude said to him, Master, 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 to them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Jerusalem pha tawm nawh khawk bau ce a huh awh, kqah hy,
And when he had come near, he beheld 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, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy 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, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and encompass thee, 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 lay thee even with 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 went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought,
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 to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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 taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief 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 could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
