< Luke 7 >

1 Thlangkhqi ang zaak na ve ak awi ve Jesu ing ak kqawn boeih coengawh. Kaperanuam khaw na cet hy.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Qalkap zakhat ak ukkung thlang pynoet a tyihzawih, a boeipa ing a lungnaak soeih ce, tlo nawh thi tawm hy.
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Cawhkaw qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing Jesu akawng ce ang zaak awh Juda a hqamca thlang vang ce tyi nawh, a tyihzawih ce qoei sak ham doet sak hy.
When he heard about Yeshua, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 Jesu a ven a mi pha awh qeennaak thoeh uhy, “Ve ak thlang vetaw a ni ngoenaak ce na sai peek aham tyng hy,
When they came to Yeshua, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 anih ing ka mi ram a lungnaak awh sinakawk pynoet ni sak pek khqi hy,” tina uhy.
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Cedawngawh Jesu a mi huawh ce nawh, im ami pha tawm ca awh qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing a pyikhqi ce tyi nawh, “Bawipa, kyi kaa, ka ipkhui awh na law aham am kawih nyng.
Yeshua went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Ceamyihna awmsaw na venna law ham awm am tyng nyng ti nyng, awi doeng mah kqawn nawh, ka tyihzawih qoei bit kaw.
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Kai awm ukknaak ak kai awh ak awm thlang pynoet na awm hlai nyng, kak kaiawh qalkap khawzah awm lawt hy. Thlang pynoet a venawh, 'Cet' ka tinaak awhtaw cet nawh; ak chang pynoet a venawh, 'Law', ka tinaak awhtaw law nawh, 'Ve sai,' ka tinaak awhtaw sai hy,” tina hy.
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 Jesu ing anih ak awi ce ang zaak awh ak kawpoek na kyi nawh, a hu awh ak bat thlangkhqi benna hawi nawh, “Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, Israelkhqi chung lakawh vemyihna cangnaak ak bau am hu nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
When Yeshua heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10 Thlang a tyihkhqi ce im na hlat uhy, cawh tyihzoeih thlang ce sadip caana ana awm tlaih hy.
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 Cekcoengawh Jesu taw Nain a mi ti khaw na cet hy, a hubatkhqi mi thlang khawzah a hu awh bat uhy.
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 Khaw awhkaw vawng chawmkeng a mi pha tawm awh, nuhai ca ing a taak chyn a capa ce thih pe nawh a qawk ce kawt law uhy. Thlang khawzah nuhai a venawh awm uhy.
Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13 Bawipa ing cawhkaw nuhai ce a huh awh, qeen soeih nawh a venawh, “Koeh kqang,” tina hy.
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 Cekcoengawh cet nawh qeep ce bi nawh, cawh qeep ak kawtkhqi awm dyi uhy. “Cadawng, ka nik kqawn peek, tho lah,” tina hy.
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 Cawh ak thi ce tho nawh awi pau hy. Jesu ing a nu venawh pe tlaih hy.
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 Cawhkaw amik awmkhqi boeih ing kqih unawh Khawsa ce kyihcah unawh, “Ni venna tawngha ak boeimang soeih dang law hawh pai hy,” ti unawh, “Khawsa ing ak thlangkhqi hqip lawk khqi hy,” ti bai uhy.
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen amongst us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 Jesu akawng taw Judah qam ingkaw a kengsam qam boeih awh thang khawnghak hy.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Johan a hubatkhqi ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ve a venawh kqawn pe uhy. A hubat thlang pakhih ce khy nawh,
The disciples of Yochanan told him about all these things.
19 Bawipa ce doet aham tyi hy, “Nang ve ak law hly kawi ce hawh nu, am awhtaw thlak chang kamik qeh hly hyn nu? tinawh doet sak hy.
Yochanan, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Yeshua, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 Cawhkaw thlangkhqi ce Jesu a venna cet unawh, “Baptisma ak pekung Johan ing nang a venawh awi doet aham kaimih ve ni tyi khqi hy, 'Nang ve ak law hly kawi ce hawh nu, am awhtaw thlak chang kamik qeh hly hyn nu? tinawh ni doet sak khqi hy,” tina uhy.
When the men had come to him, they said, “Yochanan the Immerser has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 Cawh Jesu ing tlawhnat soepkep ak takhqi, thlak tlokhqi ce qoei sak nawh, qaaichekhqi ce hqek hy, mikhypkhqi ce mik dang sak hy.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 Cedawngawh ami venawh, “Johan a venna hlat tlaih unawh nami huhkhqi ingkaw naming zaakkhqi ce kqawn pe uh: Mikhyp ing khaw hu thai hawh nawh, khawkkhem ing cet thai hawh hy, mynqaikhqi ing ciimcaih hawh unawh, hakpangkhqi ing a mingha khui hawh hy, thlak thikhqi ing tho unawh, hahqahkhqi ing awithang leek za hawh uhy.
Yeshua answered them, “Go and tell Yochanan the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 U awm kai ak camawh amak tlu taw a zoseen hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 Johan ak thlang tyihkhqi a ming hlat coengawh, thlang kqeng a venawh Jesu ing Johan akawng kqawn pek khqi hy: “Ikaw huh aham nami ngaih awh nu kqawng na nami ceh? Paipoeng zilh ing a zawn toek nami ngaih awh nu?
When Yochanan’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about Yochanan, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Am awhtaw, ikaw huh nami ngaih awh nami ceh? Angki hinaak ak nep nep ing ak thoeihcam qukhqi toek nami ngaih awh nu? Amni, angki hinaak a phu ak tlo tlo ing thoeihcam qu nawh awk-ai ak tui tui ak aikhqi taw boeikhqi im awh ni a mi awm hy.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26 Cawhtaw ikaw huh ngaih awh nami ceh ce? Tawngha huh nami ngaih awh nu, Oeih, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, tawngha anglakawh tawngha khqoet ceni.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Anih akawng vemyihna a na qee hawh uhy: “'Na haiawh ka dyihthing tyi law kawng nyngsaw, anih ing na haai awhkaw lam ce qoek abah law kaw,' a ti ce.
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nu ing a taak ak khui awhtaw Johan anglakawh ak bau khqoet awm hlan hy; cehlai Khawsa ram khuiawh ak zawi soeih na ak awm ce anih anglakawh bau khqoet hy,” tinak khqi hy.
“For I tell you, amongst those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than Yochanan the Immerser; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 (Thlang boeih ingkaw mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ing za Jesu ak awi ce a ming zaak awh, a mingmih ce Johan ing baptisma a na peek khqi hawh a dawngawh, Khawsa lam taw dyng hy tice dyih pyi uhy.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been immersed with Yochanan’s immersion.
30 Cehlai Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi ak simkhqi ingtaw a mimah ak poek awh Khawsa ang cainaak ce oelh uhy, Johan a baptisma awm am hu uhy.)
But the Pharisees and the Torah scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being immersed by him themselves.
31 Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw ve a chan awhkaw thlangkhqi ve ikaw ing nu ka nyhtah lah voei? Ikaw ing nu vekkhqi ve a ming lawh qu?
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Vekkhqi ve ik-oeih a mi zawihnaak hun awh amik ngawi naasenkhqi ing a mi pyikhqi a mik khy ing myih uhy: 'Khqung tum law hlai unyng, am lam uhyk ti; kqahlung ka mi sauh law awh awm, am kqang phoeih bai uhyk ti,” a ti ing myih hy.
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33 Johan law nawh buh awm am ai hy, misur tui awm am aw hy, 'Qaai tahy,' tina uhyk ti.
For Yochanan the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Thlang Capa law nawh aw ai hy, 'Ai maw, aawk maw, misur tui ak sawk, mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw thlak thawlhkhqi pyi,' tina uhyk ti.
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35 Cehlai cyihnaak taw a cakhqi boeih ak caming dang sak na awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Farasi thlang pynoet ing Jesu ce buh veel pyi aham khy hy, cedawngawh cawhkaw Farasi a im na cet nawh my buh veel pyi hy.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 Ce a khawk khui awhkaw ak awm thlak thawlh nu pynoet ing Farasi a im awh Jesu ing buh pan hy tice ang zaak awh, alabaster bawktui pynoet ce haw law nawh law hy.
Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 Jesu a hu benna a khawkung awh ce dyi nawh kqang hy, a mikphli tui ing a khaw sui nawh, a lusam ing huih hy, a khaw ce mawk nawh, bawktui ing syp bai hy.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Buh ai na ak khykung Farasi thlang ing a huh awh, “Ve ak thlang ve tawngha mantaw, anih ak bikung ce a u nu, tice sim hlai voei, anih ve thlak thawlh hlai ni,” tinawh ak kawlung khuiawh poek hy.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesu ing a venawh, “Simon, awi kqawn law lah vang nyng,” tina hy. Anih ing, “Kqawn law lah thaw, cawngpyikung,” tina hy.
Yeshua answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Rabbi, say on.”
41 Cawh Jesu ing, “Thlang pakkhih ing tangka ak pu sakkung a venawh tangka pu haih hy nih. Pynoet ing tangka denari zanga pu nawh, pynoet ingtaw tangka denari hakip pu hy.
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 A ni pakkhih na tangka pu ce am thung thai hy nih, cedawngawh tangka ak pu sakkung ing zoe sak kqawi haih hy. Cawhtaw han ak thlang ing nu anih ce a lungnaak khqoet kaw?” tina hy.
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Simon ing, “Tangka khawzah bet ak pu peek thlang ing lungna khqoet kaw, tinawh poek nyng,” tina hy. Jesu ing, “Ak thym ni nak kqawn phek hy,” tina hy.
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Cekcoengawh nu benna ce mang nawh Simon a venawh, “Vawhkaw thlang ve nak hu nu? Na im na ka law awh, ka khaw silh tui amni pe hyk ti. Cehlai anih ingtaw a mikphli tui ing ka khaw sui nawh a lusam ing huih hy.
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45 Nang ingtaw amni mawk man hyk ti, cehlai ve nu ingtaw ka lut law cyk awhkawng ka khaw ve ang dym kaana mawk hy.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Nang ingtaw ka lu awh situi am ni syyp man hyk ti, cehlai anih ingtaw ka khaw awh bawktui ing ni syyp hy.
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek, a thawlhnaak khawzah ce qeenna awm hawh hy; anih ingawm a lungnaak bau soeih hy; cehlai qeennaak ak zawi ing, a lungnaak zawi khawi hy,” tina hy.
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing nu a venawh, “Na thawlhnaak qeenna awm hawh hy,” tina hy.
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Cawh buh ak vel pyikhqi ing, “Thlang a thawlh qeenkhaw ak ngai ve u nu?” ti uhy.
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesu ing nu a venawh, “Nak cangnaak ing ni thaawng hawh hy, ngaihqep cana cet hlah,” tina hy.
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
