Luke 7
1 Jesus in mipi te tung ah hi thu te theampo a hil zawkciang in, Capernaum khua sung ah tum hi.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Tua mun ah zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa khat i a it mama a naseam pa thi dektak in na hi.
A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Jesus thu a zak ciang in, Judah upa te sawl a, Jesus pai in a naseam pa damsak tu in ngen hi.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 Amate Jesus kung a thet uh ciang in, hanciam in thum uh a, ama atu vawtsak tak mama hi:
When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 Banghangziam cile ama in ka minam uh it a, synagogue zong hong saksak hi, ci uh hi.
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Jesus amate taw hongpai hi. Tua inn a thet dektak uh ciang in, zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa in a lawmte Jesus kung ah sawl a, Topa, nangma tatak ngim ki pia heak in: banghangziam cile, Nangma vateak ka innsung dong nong pai tu sia kei kiphu ngawl khi hi:
Jesus 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 Tua ahikom na kung ah keima kong pai tu zong ka ki phu bua hi, ci ngaisun khi hi: ahihang kamkhat pau po le te, ka naseam pa dam tu hi.
Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 Banghangziam cile keima zong thuneina nuai ah ka om hi, ka nuai ah ngalkap te nei khi hi, taciang khat kung ah pai in, ka cile pai hi; taciang a dang khat kung ah, hongpai tan, ka cile hongpai hi; taciang ka naseam khat kung ah zong, hisia seam in, ka cile seam hi, ci hi.
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 Jesus in hi thu a zak ciang in, lamdangsa hi, Ama hong kihei in, a zui te kung ah, Note tung ah kong son hi, Israel mite sung ah zong hibangza a lian upna mu ngei ngawl lai khi hi, ci hi.
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled 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 A paisak te inn ah hong heakkik a, a dam ngawl a naseam pa a dam sa in mu hi.
Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11 A zingciang in, Nain a kici khua ah Jesus pai a; a nungzui tampi te le mi tampi te zong pai uh hi.
Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12 Khuapi tumna kongpi a thet uh ciang, mithi khat hong pua uh a, ama sia a nu i tapa neisun a hihi: taciang khuasung ah mi tampi te sia meingong nu kung ah om hi.
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 Topa in tua nu a mu ciang in, a tung ah hesuakna nei a, Kap heak in, ci hi.
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14 Jesus hongpai a, mithikuang tham hi: taciang a pua te tawlnga hi. Taciang Jesus in, Tangvalpa, tho in, hong ci khi hi, ci hi.
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15 Mithi hong tho to a, hong pau hi. Jesus in a nu kung ah ap kik hi.
He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16 A vekpi tung ah launa hong theng a, eite sung ah kamsang lian hong piang hi; Pathian in a mite hong ve hi, ci in Pathian pok uh hi.
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17 Jesus thu sia Judah ngamsung theampo le a kiim a pam ah thang hi.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 John i nungzui te in hi thu teng ama tung ah son uh hi.
The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19 Tasiaciang John in a zungzui te ni sam a, Jesus kung ah paisak in, Nangma sia hongpai tu pa ni ziam? a hibale a dang ngak lai tu khu ziam? ci hi.
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20 Amate Jesus kung a thet uh ciang in, tuiphumpa John in, na kung ah hongpaisak hi, Nangma sia hongpai tu pa na hi ziam? a hibale a dang ngak lai tu khu ziam? ci hi.
When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21 Tuahun laitak in Jesus in mi tampi te natna a tatuam, nat sia tatuam le doai ngilo vei te damsak a, mittaw tampi te zong khuamusak hi.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 Jesus in amate tung ah, Pai tavun a, na mu uh le na zak uh te John kung son vun; bangbang in mittaw te in khuamu thei, peangbai te lampai thei, miphak te thiang, nangong te khuaza thei, mithi te thokik a, mizawng te tung ah lungdamna thu ki pualak zo hi.
Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John 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 A kuamapo Keima hang in uplakna a nei ngawl te thuphatoai a hihi, ci in zo kik hi.
Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24 John i kamtaite a pai zawk uh ciang in, Jesus in mite tung ah John thu son kipan a, Duisung ah bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Hui i seam phaikung ngawk ziam?
When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Puan neam hoi nano sil mu nuam nu ziam? en vun, puan neam nano sil in nuntak nuam mamate kumpi innsung ah a omte hi.
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 Bang en tu in pai nu ziam? Kamsang ziam? hi hi, a man tatak kong ci ciang, kamsang bek dom ngawl hi.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Banghangziam cile, en vun, ka kamtai pa na mai ah ka sawl hi, ama in na mai pan in na lampi hong puakholsak tu hi, ci ama thu sonkhol hi.
This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28 Banghangziam cile keima in kong ci hi, numei sungsuak theampo sungpan tuiphumpa John sang in a lianzaw kuama om ngawl hi: ahihang vantung kumpingam sung ah a nobel sia nangawn John sang in lianzaw lai hi, ci hi.
“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29 Tua thu a za te theampo le siadong te in, Pathian sia thuman hi, ci in pualak uh hi, amate sia John i tuiphumna a piak te a hi uh hi.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30 Ahihang Pharisee te le thukhamhil te in amate langpan in Pathian i ngaisutna nate nial uh hi, amate sia John i tuiphumna a piak te hi ngawl hi.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 Topa in, Tu hun mihing te bang taw sonte tu khi ziam? taciang amate bang taw kibang uh ziam?
“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Amate sia sumbuk ah a to patang te taw kibang hi, amate sia khat le khat ki biakpui uh a, tamngai kong tum uh hang lam nuam ngawl nu hi, katap kong law uh hang, kap nuam tuan ngawl nu hi,
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 Banghangziam cile, tuiphumpa John sia anluum ne ngawl sapittui dawn ngawl in hongpai ciang, note in doai vei hi, na ci uh hi.
For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 Mihing Tapa sia ne le dawn in hongpai ciang; note in, en vun, an tuang pa, sapittui tuang pa, siadong te le mawnei te i lawmpa, na ci uh hi.
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 Ahihang ciimna in a tate mawsiatna pan suatak hi, ci hi.
Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Pharisee khat in Jesus taw an ne khawm nuam hi. Taciang Jesus sia Pharisee te inn ah pai in, anne tu in to hi.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37 Taciang, en vun, tua khua ah mawnei numei khat om a, Jesus sia Pharisee pa inn ah anne tu in to hi, ci a heak ciang in, alabaster sathau namtui thawl khat keng hi,
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 Jesus i nung, a peang kung ah kap a, Jesus i peang a thitui taw silsak hi, taciang a sam taw nawlsak a, a nap zawkciang in sathau namtui buak hi.
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 Tabang a vawt Jesus a sam Pharisee pa in amu ciang, a thinsung pan in, hisia pa kamsang a hile, ama a tham sia bangbang numei ziam, ci he tu hi: banghangziam cile tua numei nu sia mawnei hi, ci hi.
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 Jesus in ama zo kik a, Simon awng, kong son nop khat om hi, ci hi. Taciang ama in, syapa awng, hong son tan, ci hi.
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41 Jesus in, Dangka pukthak khat om a, leiba nei ni om hi: khat in dangka za nga ba a, a dang khat sia in sawm nga ba hi.
“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Amate in a lokik zawk ngawl uh hang in, a ni ma in maisak hi. Tua ahikom tua te ni sung ah kua in dangka pukthak pa itzaw tu ziam, hong son tan? ci hi.
When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43 Simon in, dangka tamzaw a maisak pa in itzaw tu in ngaisun khi hi, ci in zo kik hi. Taciang Jesus in, A man in thukhen ni hi, ci hi.
Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Numeinu sang ah kiheikik a, Simon kung ah, Hi numei nu na mu ziam? Na innsung ah hong tum ka hihang, ka peang sil natu tui nong pia bua hi; ahihang hi numei nu in ka peang a thitui taw hong silsak a, a sam taw hong nawlsak hi.
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 in hong nam ngawl ni hi, ahihang hi numei nu a hile kong tum pan kipan ka peang tawlnga ngawl in nam hi.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Nang ka lu zong sathau hong buak ngawl ni hi: ahihang hi numei nu in ka peang sathau namtui hong buak hi.
You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Tua ahikom hong son khi hi, a mawna tam mamate ki maisak zo ahikom a itna zong tam hi: ahihang tawmbek a ki maisak te in tawm bek it hi, ci hi.
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 Jesus in numei nu tung ah, Na mawna te ki maisak zo hi, ci hi.
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Anneak na mun ah a tote in, mawna a maisak sia kua ziam? ci in amate thinsung pan in ci uh hi.
Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus in numei nu tung ah, na upna in hong ngum zo hi; thinnuam in pai in, ci hi.
He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
