Luke 17
1 Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mawna sung ah puk le khial thak ngawl tu sia suak thei ngawl hi: ahihang tabang a thengsak sia a mailam bing hi!
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘It is inevitable that there should be temptations but sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
2 Patang no khat khialsak tu sang in, a ngawng ah an ngoaina suang khit in, tuipi sung ah ki khiasuk le, ama atu in phazaw hi.
It would be better for them if they had been flung into the sea with a millstone round their neck, rather than that they should cause even one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Noma le noma kidawm vun: na suapui pa sia na tung ah hong khial le, tei in; a ki sikkik a hile, maisak in.
Be on your guard! If your brother or sister does wrong, rebuke them; but if they repent, forgive them.
4 Na tung ah ni khat sung sali vei dong hong khial a, na tung ah sali vei dong hongpai in, kisik khi hi, hong cile, maisak in, ci hi.
Even if they wrong you seven times a day, but turns to you every time and says “I am sorry,” you must forgive them.’
5 Sawltakte in, Topa tung ah, ka upna uh hong khangsak tan, ci uh hi.
‘Give us more faith,’ said the apostles to the Master;
6 Taciang Topa in, Note in ankamci cia upna nei le uh te, hi theikung mun ah, na bul pan kilong in, tuipi sung ah ki phut in; ci le uh te, na thu hong ni tu hi.
but the Master said, ‘If your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it would obey you.
7 Ahihang note sung ah khatpo in, lo tho, a hibale tuucing naseam khat nei in, tua naseampa lo pan hong cia pociang, pai in a, anne tu in to in, ci a kua in ci tu nu ziam?
Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, “Come at once and take your place at the table,”
8 Ka an neak tu hong vawtkholsak tan a, an hong thuk tan, ka neak ka dawn man dong hong ngak tan, tua zawkciang in ne in a, dawn kik in; ci tu hi ngawl ziam01?
Instead of saying “Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and serve me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you will eat and drink yourself”?
9 Naseam pa in thupiak teng a vawt siat zawkciang a topa in lungdam a ko tu ziam? Ko tu um ngawl khi hi.
Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
10 Tabangma in, note zong thupiak theampo na vawt siat zawk uh ciang, kote sia phattuam na nei ngawl naseam te ka hi uh hi, ka sep tu nasep a seam bekma khu hi, ci tavun, ci hi.
And so with you – when you have done all that you have been told, still say “We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.”’
11 Jesus Jerusalem a pai ciang in Samaria le Galilee ngamngi tawn in pai hi.
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Khua khat sung ah a tum uh ciang in, miphak sawm te taw kisi a, a khuala na ah ding in:
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
13 Jesus, Topa awng, hong hesuak tan, ci in a nging tatak in au uh hi.
Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly, ‘Jesus! Sir! Pity us!’
14 Jesus in amate a mu ciang in, Pai tavun a, thiampi te kung ah noma le noma ki lak tavun, ci hi. Amate a pai uh laitak in, a vekpi in thiangtho siat uh hi.
When Jesus saw them, he said, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priest.’ And, as they were on their way, they were made clean.
15 Amate sung pan khat in damzo khi hi, ci a mu ciang in, heakkik a, aw ngingtak taw Pathian pok hi,
One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
16 Taciang Jesus peang ah bok a, lungdam ko hi: ama sia Samaria mi a hihi.
and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus in, Mihing sawm ki thiangsak hi ngawl ziam? Ahihang a dang kua te, koisung ah om ziam?
‘Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine – where are they?
18 Hi ngamdang mi simngawl Pathian pok tu in a heakkik mu ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
19 Taciang in Jesus in, Tho in a, pai in: na upna in hong damsak zo hi, ci hi.
Get up,’ he said to him, ‘and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.’
20 Pharisee te in, Pathian kumpingam sia banghun ciang hong theng tu ziam? ci in Jesus dong uh hi, Jesus in, Pathian kumpingam sia mit taw mu thei in hong theng ngawl tu hi:
Being once asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered, ‘The kingdom of God does not come in a way that can be seen,
21 Hi mun ah en vun! a hibale, zesung ah en vun! ci in kuama in hong ci ngawl tu hi, banghangziam cile, en vun, Pathian kumpingam sia note sung ah om hi, ci hi.
nor will people say “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!”; for the kingdom of God is within you!
22 Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mihing Tapa ni sia, nikhat sung bek zong na mu nop mama uh hun hong theng tu hi, ahihang mu tha ngawl tu nu hi.
The day will come,’ he said to his disciples, ‘when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.
23 Note tung ah, hi mun ah en vun; a hibale, zesung ah en vun, hong ci tu uh hi: tabang te nung pan zui tha heak vun.
People will say to you “There he is!” Or “Here he is!” Do not go and follow them.
24 Banghangziam cile, khualeng sia, van mong khat pan mong khat dong a tang bang in, mihing Tapa ni zong tabangma hi tu hi.
For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
25 Ahizong a masabel in ama in nasiatak thuak tu a, tu hun mihing te in nial tu uh hi.
But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present generation.
26 Noah hunlai bangma in mihing Tapa hun ciang zong tabangma hi tu hi.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
27 Noah tembaw sung tum a, tuiliim in mi theampo a bocip siat dong, amate ne le dawn, mopui motha in om tek uh hi.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark, and then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Tasia bangma in Lot hun lai zong amate ne le dawn, van zuak, thingkung cing le inn sa in om tek uh hi;
So, too, in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
29 Ahihang Lot sia Sodom khua pan a pusua ni ciang in, van pan mei le kat sia ngua bang in zu a, a vekpi in susia siat hi.
but, on the very day on which Lot came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies and destroyed them all.
30 Mihing Tapa hong ki pualak ni ciang zong tabangma hi tu hi.
It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
31 Tua ni ciang in, innkhum tung a om te, innsung ah van la tu in tuaksuk nawn heak hen: lo ah a omte zong inn ah ciakik nawn heak hen.
On that day, if a person is on their house-top and their goods in the house, they must not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the farm turn back.
32 Lot i zi na phawk tavun.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 A kuamapo ama nuntakna a hung nuam peuma a nuntakna sum tu hi; a kuamapo a ma nuntakna a sum peuma nuntakna nga tu hi.
Whoever is eager to get the most out of their life will lose it; but whoever will lose it will preserve it.
34 Keima in kong ci hi, tua ni zan ciang lupna khat tung ah mi ni lumkhawm tu hi; khat ki la tu a, khat ki nusia tu hi.
On that night, I tell you, of two people on the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
35 Numei ni an ngoai khawm tu hi; khat ki la tu a, khat ki nusia tu hi.
of two women grinding grain together, one will be taken and the other left.’
36 Pasal ni lo sung ah na seam khawm tu hi; khat kila tu a, khat ki nusia tu hi, ci hi.
37 Ama te in, Topa, koisung hi tu ziam? ci in dong uh hi, Jesus in amate tung ah, Mithi luang om na mun theampo ah vaciik te ki kaikhawm tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
‘Where will it be, Master?’ asked the disciples. ‘Where there is a body,’ said Jesus, ‘there will the vultures flock.’
