Luke 19
1 Yeshua Jericho alut'in, chule akhopi sung chu ajot in ahi.
Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
2 Mi khat amin Zacchaeus kiti chua chun aume. Ama chu hiche lhang'a dinga kaidong pipu ahin, ahaova haosa ahitai.
There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
3 Aman Yeshua chu mutei ding agon, hinlah ama anem behseh jeh chun mihonpi lah'a chun amutheipoi.
He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
4 Hijeh chun ana malhaijel'in lampi panga theiba phung khat'ah anakal'e, ajeh chu Yeshuan hiche lampi chu aho ding ahi.
So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
5 Yeshua ahung phat chun, Zacchaeus chu avetouvin chule amin in akouvin, “Zacchaeus! gang'in, hungkum'in! tunia na in'a maljin kahi ding ahi,” ahinti.
When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
6 Zacchaeus jong kinloitah in ahung kumlhan, Yeshua chu a'in ah kipah le thanom tah'in apuilut tai.
So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
7 Ahivangin miho chu alungphamo uvin, “Michonse chungnung in'ah agalhung taget e,” tin aphunchel tauve.
The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
8 Chuphat chun, Zacchaeus jong Pakai angsungah adingdoh in aseitai, “Pakai, kanei kagou akehkhat mivaicha ho peing'e, chule kai kadon na'a miho lepthol'a kabol aumleh, amaho chu ajatlin nungpeh inge!” ati.
Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
9 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Tunin hiche in'ah huhhingna alhung tai, ajeh chu hiche mipa hin Abraham chapa dihtah ahi akimusah tai.
Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
10 Ijeh inem itile Mihem Chapa chu amangsa holdoh le huhhing dinga hung'ah ahi,” ati.
Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
11 Mihonpi chun Yeshua thusei jouse chu angailha sohkeiyun ahi. Chule ama Jerusalem anaitoh kilhonin, aman thusim khat, Pathen Lenggam chu kipan pai dinga angaito'u suhdih nadin aseiye.
They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
12 Aman hitin aseiye, “Lengchapate khat mun gamlatah a leng gachanga hung kile kit dingin koudoh in aumin ahi.
[So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
13 Achedoh masangin asohte lah'a mi som akoukhom in dangka mina som apen, ‘kachedoh sungin hiche hi nei veikan peh'un’ ati.
[Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
14 Ahivangin amiten avetnom pouvin, achedoh nungin palai asol'un, ‘Ama hi kalengpau dingin kadei pouve’ tin agasei sah uve.
But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
15 Leng ahung chan jouvin, ahung kilen chule asohte sum apeh sese chu akoukhom tai. Aman aveikan jat'u chu ahetnom ahi.
But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
16 Soh masapan thu ahinlhut in, ‘Pipu, keiman nasum kaveikan in, neipeh chu ajat som in apunge!’ ati.
The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
17 Lengpan adonbut in, ‘Nabol pha'e!’ ati. ‘Nangma sohpha nahi. Nangma themcha kapeh chunga kitah nahi, hijeh a chu natohphat kipaman'a khopi som chunga gamvaipo nahi ding ahi,’ atipeh e.
He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
18 Soh anina pan thu ahinlhut kit in, ‘Pipu, nasum kaveikan in neipeh chu ajat ngan kapunsah be'e’ ati.
Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
19 ‘Nabol aphai!’ tin lengpan adonbut in, ‘Nangma khopi nga chunga vaipo nahi ding ahi’ ati.
He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
20 Ahivangin soh athumna pan sum amu mama chu ahinchoiyin aseitai, ‘Pipu, keiman nasum chu kasel'in kana koitup peh e.
Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
21 Kakichat nahi ajeh chu nangma mikhel nahin, nanga hilou jong nakilah in, natu lou jong aga nakichomkhom ji'e.’ ati.
I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
22 ‘Nangma soh gilou!’ tin lengpa ahung eojah in, ‘Nathun themmo nachan ahi. Nangman mikikhel kahi nahet a, keiya hilou kakilah theiya, katulou jong ka-at thei leh,
The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
23 ipi dinga sumkoina in'a kasum chu nanakoi louham? Ken athoi themkhat beh kikimu tadinga,’ ati.
So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
24 Chuin akom avel'a ding ho hengah akiheiyin, hitin thupeh aneitai, ‘Hiche sohpa a kon chun sum chu lahpeh unlang mina som neipa chu petauvin’ ati.
Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
25 ‘Ahin, pipu, aman som aneitai!’ tin ahinsei yuve.
They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
26 Lengpan adonbut in, ahinai, akipe mangthem hochu, kipeh be ding. Amavang imacha bollou ho koma pat, anei sun'u themcha jong chu kilahmang peh ding ahiuve.
[But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
27 Chuleh hiche kagalmi ho, lenga kapan ding deilou ho chu–hin puilut unlang ka-angsung tah a hin thatdoh tauvin,” ati.
Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
28 Hiche thusim aseijouvin, Yeshua Jerusalem lam jon'in, aseijuite sangin anamasan ahi.
After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
29 Ama Bethphage le Bethany khopiho Olive molchung lang ahung gei phat in, aseijui mini asol masan,
When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
30 “Hiche kho a khun galut lhonin lang” tin aseipeh in, “Nalut lhon tengleh, sangan nou kihen koiman atouna nailou namu lhon ding ahi. Hin sutlha lhon in lang hilang'ah hinkai lhon in.
he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
31 Khattouvin ahindoh'a, ‘Ipibol'a hiche sangan nou chu nasut lhah lhon ham’ atileh, hitin seilhon'in, ‘Pakaiyin aman nom'e’ tilhon'in” ati.
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Chutichun amani jong achelhon in, Yeshua sei bangin sangan nou chu agamu lhon tai.
[So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
33 Chule atahbah'in, asutlhon laiyin aneipan ahin adong lhon in, “Ipi bol'a hiche sangan nou chu nasutlhon ham?” ahin ti.
As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
34 Chule seijuite ni chun bailam tah in adonbut lhon in, “Pakaiyin aman nom'e” atilhone.
They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
35 Hiti chun sangan nou chu Yeshua hengah ahin kaiyun chule aponsil hou chu achungah atouna dingin aphapeh un ahi.
The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
36 Chutia ahung tou phei laiyin, mipihon lampi ah aponsil hou anaphauvin ahi.
Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
37 Olive mol'a pat a lampi chesuh kipatna aphah chun, anungjui jousen kholhang asam un, ache toh lasah akop un, Pathen in thil kidang abolho amujal un avahchoiyuve.
As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
38 “Pakai min'a hung'ah lengpa chu anunnom e! Van ah cham leng hen, chule van sangpena jong loupi hen!” atiuve.
They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
39 Ahivangin mihonpi lah'a Pharisee ho phabep khatchun aseiyun, “Houhil, nanungjui hon hitobang thuho aseiyu khu phohthip'in!” atiuve.
Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
40 Aman adonbut in, “Amaho athipbeh uleh, lampam'a songho kipah'a hung eodoh diu ahi!” ati.
He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
41 “Ama Jerusalem ahung naijep'a khopi chu amuphat in akap pan tai.
When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
42 Iti kadeisah nahi hitam tunikhon mijouse lah'a nangman chamna lampi hi kihet tave lechun. Ahinlah, tun ageisang tan, chamna hi namit mua kona kisel ahitai.
He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
43 Sot louva nagalmi teu vin nakul pam'a pansatna akisem diu, amai lang jousea na umchin todiu ahi.
I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
44 Amahon tol'a nachil thang diu, chule nachateu jong chutia abol diu. Nagalmi teu vin song khatcha aumna a aumsah louding ahi, ajeh chu huhhingna dinga phat kilemchang nasan loujeh ahi,” ati.
They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
45 Chuin Yeshua houin alut in, kilhaina ding gancha joh ho ahin nodoh pan tai.
[Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
46 Aman amaho jah'a, “Pathen Lekhabun hitin aseiye, Ka in chu taona in kiti ding ahi, ahin nanghon gucha michom ho kokhuh in nasem tauve” ati.
and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
47 Chujou chun, aman niseh leh houin ah thu ahiljin, ahin thempuho, hou danthu hil ho chule adang mipi lamkai hon ama chu iti tha ding ham ti thilgon akisem pat un ahi.
Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
48 Ahivangin ima dang ageldoh chom pouve, ajeh chu mijousen athuhil apomchah jeh chun.
But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
