Luke 10
1 Tun Pakai in seijui adang mi somsagi le ni alhengdoh in amaho chu akop kop'in khotin le muntin vilding agot naho ah asol in ahi.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 Hiche ho cheng hi amaho ahilchahna ahi: “Lousoh ga khoptup ding atam, ahin natong ho alhome. Hijeh chun Pakai hengah taovun amachu ga chomtup dia mopo ahi; alouva natong ding mi ahin solbe nadin thum'un.”
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Tun cheuvin, chuleh geldoh jingun keiman si-al lah'a kelngoi kisol tobanga kasol nahiuve.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Sum le pai ima kipoh hih'un, sakhao jong kipoh hih'un, kengchot akop'in jong pohih un. Chuleh lampi dungah khattou lem dingin kingapa hih'un.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 Khattou in'a nalut teng uleh, amasan “Pathen lungmonna hiche in'a hin umhen” tin asauvin.
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 Hichea cheng ho chu alungmon uleh, phattheina chu umden ding; achutilou uleh, phattheina chu nahenguva hung kile ding ahi.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 In khat'a kon inkhat ah vahle hih'un. Munkhat bou ah um unlang, amahon napeh peh uchu neuvin chule don'un. Min phatah a najen nau sanding kiphalam hih'un, ajehchu anatong chun alosan amuding mong ahi.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 “Khopi khat a nalut uva nasan uleh, namasanga ahin luidoh doh uchu neuvin.”
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Adamlou sudam'un lang seipeh'un, “Pathen Lenggam chu tun nakom uva aumtai” tiuvin.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Ahin khopi khattou in nasan dauleh, alampiu dunga chun chedoh unlang seiyun,
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 Nakhopiu sunga vutkhu ho geiyin kakenguva kon'in kathing lhauve, nasoso kisoh dinga dalhah nahiuve ti vetsahnan. Chule hiche hi heuvin–Pathen Lenggam chu anaitai!
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Kaseipeh nahiuve thupi kitan nileh agilou Sodom kho chu chutobang khopi ho sanga phajep diu ahi.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 “Itobang lunghemnan nangau hitam, vo Korazin le Bethsaida! Ijeh inem itile nalah'a thilkidang kibol hohi agilou Tyre le Sidon khohoa kibol hitaveleh, sotlaiya pat'in amipihon achonset nauva kon lungheina nei untin, khaodippon kisil untin chule akisih'u tahlang nan aluchung uvah vutvam kiloi tauvinte.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Henge, Tyre le Sidon khopi teni hi thupi kitan nileh nangho sanga phajep diu ahi.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 Chule nangho Capernaum mite, van-gam'ah jabolna chang nauvin natem? Nachan loudiu ahi, thina mun'a nachesuh joh diu ahi,” ati. (Hadēs g86)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 Chuin aseijuite jah'a aseiyin, “Koihileh nathuhil'u kisan a chun keijong eisan ahi. Chule napampai chan'u chun keijong eipampai ahi. Chule koihileh keima eipampai chan chun Pathen, eihinsolpa apampai ahi” ati.
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Seijui somsagi leni ho ahung kileuvin, thanom tah in thulhut ahin bol'un ahi. “Pakai, thilhaho jeng jong kathu uvin anunge nangma min kapat ule,” atiuve.
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 “Henge” tin amaho aseipeh in, “Keiman Satan van'a kona kolphe banga alhahsuh kamui!
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Veuvin, keiman nangho galmi thilboltheina chunga thuneina kapeh nahiuve, chule nanghon gul le aipi chunga lam najot diu chule nachilgoi dingu ahi. Imachan nasuhkhah loudiu ahi.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Amavang lhagao gilou nathuuva anun jeh in kipah hih'un, ahin van-gam'a namin'u akijihlut jeh joh in kipah un,” ati.
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 Hiche pettah chun Yeshua Lhagao Thenga kipana adimset tan, chuin hitin aseiye, “O Hepa, van le lei Pakai, hiche thilho nangman aching le athem'a kigel hoa pat'a naselguh a, chapang ho henga naphondoh jeh in kakipah'e. Henge Pa, hitia kibol hin nangma nalunglhai sah'e,” ati.
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 “Kapan keima imajouse chunga mopohna eipeh ahitai. Pa tailou koiman Chapa chu dihtah in ahepoi, chule Chapa tailou le Chapa in hetsah dinga alhen ho tailouvin koiman Pachu dihtah in ahepoi” ati.
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Chuin amaho changseh aumpet un, aman aseijuite heng lam ngan aseiye, “Nathilmu chengseu mu ah mit hochu anunnom e.
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 Kaseipeh nahiuve, themgao ho le lengho tamtah'in nathilmu chengseu hi muding anagaldot jingu ahin, hinlah anamupouve. Chuleh najah houhi jah ding anagaldot jing'u ahin, hinlah anaja pouve,” ati.
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Nikhat hou danthua them khat Yeshua patep dingin adingdoh in hiche thudoh hi adonge, “Houhil, tonsot hinna kanei thei nadia ipi kabol ding ham?” ati. (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Mose dan in ipi asei em? Iti nasim am?” tin adongtai.
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 Mipa chun adonbut in, “Nangman nalung pumpin, na lhagao pumpin, na thaneina pumpin, chule nalungthim pumpin Pakai naPathen chu ngailun. Chule nangma nakingailut bangin naheng nakom ngailun,” tin aseiye ati.
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 “Adih'e” tin Yeshuan aseipeh in, “Hichu bol'in chule nahin ding ahi!” ati.
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Mipa chun athilbol them akichan nom'in, hijeh chun Yeshua chu adongin, “Koiham kaheng kakom?” ati.
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Yeshuan thusim khat in adonbut in: “Juda mikhat Jerusalem a pat Jericho lam jon in ajin suh in ahi, chule ama chu lamkah ah migucha michom hon abulu un, aponsil aholhah peh un, avouvin, chule athisa tobang'in lam pang'ah adalha tauve.”
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Thempu khat in agatoh khan, hinlah mipa chuva akijam amu mu chun, lampi pang langkhat joh apal in adalhatai.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Hou'in lhachale ho khat agachen chule chukom'a akijam chu amun, ahin aman jong lamsih lang khat ah apeldoh tai.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 “Chuin musit'a um Samaria mikhat ahung pheiyin, mipa amu chun, avoujang nat peh tan ahi.”
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 Akom ah ache naiyin, Samaria mipa chun akivohna maha chu ajen'in olive thao le ju asunkhum in, atompeh tai. Chuin mipa chu ama sangan chungah ahin puiyin, in khat ah ahin puilut in chukoma chun ajenlen ahi.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 Ajing in in-ngahpa chu dangka cheng ni apen, aseiyin, “Hichepa hi anavesui in. Achunga lutjat hiche sanga atamjoh khah le, kahung kit teng kapeh ding ahi,” ati.
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 “Tun seiyin hiche mithum ho lah'a chu koipen tah chu hiche mipa gucha michom hon avoh pau dinga aheng akom hi ham?” tin Yeshuan adongtai.
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Mipa chun adonbut in, “Akhoto pachu ahi,” ati. Chuin Yeshuan aseiyin, “Adih'e, tun chenlang chutobang chun gabol tan,” ati.
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Yeshua le aseijuite Jerusalem lam jona achejing laiyun, khokhat ahung lhung un, chua chun Martha kiti nun a-in'a dingin alemin ahi.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Asopinu Mary chu Pakai kengbul ah atouvin, athuhil chu angaiye.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Ahivangin Martha chu jan anneh lentah agon jeh chun alunggim in ahi. Yeshua komah ahungin ahung seitai, “Pakai dihtheilou nasah lou khattou ham kasopinu thipbeh a atouva ken natoh jouse katoh? Eihung kithopi na dingin hinsol in,” ati.
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Ahivangin Pakai in amanu hengah aseiyin, “Ngailut Martha, nangma hitiho jouse chunga hi lunggima lung himo nahi.”
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 “Thilkhat bouseh khohsah le lunggim nading aume. Maryn hichu akimudoh in, chule amanu a kona kilamang thei lou ding ahitai,” ati.
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
