Luke 19
1 Jesu taw Jeriko khaw awh lut nawh cawhkawng cet phaat hy.
And Jesus having entred Jericho passed through the city,
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 publican, and very 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; but he could not for the croud; for 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 got up into a sycamore-tree that he might see Him; for He was to pass by 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 with joy.
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 to be guest with a wicked 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 Zaccheus stood up and said unto Jesus, Behold, Lord, the half of my substance I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any one wrongfully, I restore him 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.
Then said Jesus, This day is salvation come to this house, for as much 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 listened to these things, He proceeded and spake a parable; because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately be manifested.
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 distant country to receive the investiture of a kingdom and then 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 of his servants, and delivered to them ten pounds, and said, Trade with them 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 embassy 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 when he was returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to be called to him, to whom he had delivered the money, that he might know what use each had made of it.
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 and said, 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 done, thou good servant, as thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt be governor 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 produced five pounds:
19 A boeipa ing, ‘Khawk bau pumha ce uk lah,’ tina hy.
and he said to this likewise, 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, and said, Behold, my Lord, 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 was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man, who takest up what thou didst not lay 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?
But he said to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant, Thou knewest that I am 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.
and why then didst thou not put my money into the bank, that when I came I might have received 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 to them that stood by, Take away the pound from him, and give it to 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 already: )
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 tell you, that to every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even what he seemingly hath shall be taken away.
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 mine enemies, who would not have me to 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 said these things, He went forward, 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 when He was 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 into the opposite village, in which, at your entring, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet 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 one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, 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 it as He 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.
But as they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt?
34 Cekkqawi ing, Bawipa ing ngoe hy, tina hy nih.
and they answered, 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 throwing their garments upon the colt they set Jesus thereon.
36 Anih a cehnaak lam awh ce thlangkhqi ing hi phaih pe uhy.
And as He went along they spread their clothes under Him 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 was now come near to the foot of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples rejoicing began to 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 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 them, I tell you, that if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.
41 Jerusalem pha tawm nawh khawk bau ce a huh awh, kqah hy,
And as He drew near, beholding 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.
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at lest in this thy day, the things relating to thy 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, that thine enemies shall cast up a trench about thee, and surround 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 to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou didst not regard 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 cast out those that were buying and selling in it,
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, "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 was teaching daily in the temple: but the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers 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 how to effect it: for all the people were attentive to hear Him.
