Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Hlangping a thawng a sang te tingtun uh tih khat neh khat taelh uh thae. Lamhma kah a hnukbang rhoek te, “Tolrhu te na ngaithuen uh mako, te tah Pharisee kah thailatnah ni.
2 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Te dongah phah la aka om te tah pumphoe mueh pawt tih a huephael te khaw a ming mueh moenih.
3 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Te yueng la a hmuep ah na thui uh te vangnah khuiah a yaak ni. Imkhui kah a hna ah na thui uh te khaw imphu ah a hoe ni.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Ka paya rhoek nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Pumsa te a ngawn uh dae, te phoeiah saithainah pakhat khaw aka khueh pawt te rhih uh boeh.
5 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Tedae na rhih uh te kan tueng eh. Pum te a ngawn phoeiah hell la voeih ham saithainah aka khueh te rhihuh. Ue ta, nangmih taengah anih la rhih uh ka ti loel. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
Vahnup phiknga te pe hnih la a yoih uh moenih a? Te rhoek te pakhat khaw Pathen hmaiah a hmaai a om moenih.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Na lu kah sam pataeng boeih a tae coeng. Rhih uh boeh, vahnup lakah muep na tiing uh ngai.
8 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Nangmih taengah ka thui, kai kawng he hlang hmaiah aka phong boeih te tah hlang capa loh anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah a phong van ni.
9 but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt tah Pathen puencawn rhoek hmaiah ka huek uh tak ni.
10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
Hlang capa te ol aka tha thil boeih te tah tholh a hlah pah pueng ni. Tedae Cim Mueihla taengah aka soehsal te tah tholh hlah pah mahpawh.
11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Nangmih te tunim la, boeilu rhoek neh saithainah aka khueh taengla n'khuen uh ni. Te vaengah metla na huul uh vetih ba na thui uh ham khaw mawn uh boeh.
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
Thui ham a kuek te tah amah tue vaengah Cim Mueihla loh nangmih n'thuituen bitni,” a ti nah.
13 And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
Hlangping khuikah pakhat loh Jesuh te, “Saya, ka manuca te thui pah lamtah kai hamla rho ham paek,” a ti nah.
14 But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Tedae Jesuh loh anih te, “Ka hlang aw, nangmih rhoi soah laitloekkung ham neh tultaelkung la u long kai n'tuek,” a ti nah.
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Halhkanah te boeih hmuming uh lamtah cueuh. A khuehtawn om dae a hingnah pakhat khaw a cawt moenih,” a ti nah.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah a thui tih, “Kuirhang hlang pakhat kah lo te cang a thawt pah.
17 and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
Tedae amah khuiah a poek tih, ' Ka cang thaih he, ka tung nah ka khueh pawt dongah banim ka saii lah ve,’ a ti.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
Te phoeiah, ' He tla ka saii eh?, ka khai te ka phae vetih a len la ka saii eh?, te ah te ka cang neh ka koe te boeih ka tung eh.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
Te phoeiah ka hinglu te, 'Ka hinglu nang, kum a sen ham koe muep na khueh coeng dongah duem lamtah, ca lamtah, o lamtah, uum laeh, ' ka ti nah ni,’ a ti.
20 But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
Tedae anih te Pathen loh, 'Hlang ang, tu khoyin ah na hinglu te nang taeng lamkah loh a lat pawn ni. Tahae kah na hmoel te uham nim a om ve?' a ti nah.
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Te dongah anih loh amah ham a tung dae a khuehtawn loh Pathen taengla a pawk puei moenih,” a ti nah.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “He dongah ni nangmih taengah ka thui, na caak uh te khaw, pum dongah na bai uh ham te khaw, na hinglu mawn sak uh boeh.
23 For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
hinglu tah buh lakah, pum he khaw himbai lakah olpuei la om.
24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
Vangak ke poek uh lah, tuh uh pawt tih at uh pawh, a im khaw, khai khaw khueh uh pawt dae Pathen loh amih te a khut. Nangmih tah vaa lakah muep na olpuei uh.
25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?
Nangmih khuiah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong at khaw aka cong thil thai?
26 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
A yit dongah na coeng uh pawt atah, ba ham lae a tloe dongah na mawn uh.
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Hmat uh lah, rhaipai ke metlam a rhoeng, thakthae pawt tih cunghmui khaw hnuk pawh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka thui, Solomon loh a thangpomnah boeih neh rhaipai pakhat banglam pataeng a bai sak moenih.
28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
Tihnin ah om tih thangvuen ah hmailing khuila a phum lohma kah khopol pataeng Pathen loh a thoeihcam atah nangmih te muep na uepvawt aih mai
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Te dongah nangmih loh na caak ham neh na ok te toem uh boeh uepvawt uh boeh.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Diklai namtom boeih loh te te a tlapuh. Tedae nangmih kah na kuek te pa loh a ming coeng.
31 Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
A ram te tlap uh dae lamtah tekah te nangmih ham han thap bitni.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
A ram te nangmih paek ham na pa a lung a tlun coeng dongah, tuping ca aw, birhih boeh.
33 Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
Na khuehtawn te yoi uh lamtah, doedannah la pae uh, aka rhuem pawh sungkoi te namamih ham saiiuh. khohrhang he vaan ah tah cueng. Te ah te hlanghuen loh muk pawt tih, keet long khaw phae pawh.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Na khohrhang a om nah ah na thinko khaw pahoi om ni.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
Na pumpu te yen tangtae la om saeh lamtah hmaiim khaw vang saeh.
36 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
Te phoeiah yuluei kung lamkah aka bal a boeipa aka lamtawn hlang rhoek bangla na om uh mako. Te daengah ni ha lo tih a khoek vaengah anih ham pahoi a ong pa thai eh.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
Boei ha lo vaengah hmuh hamla aka hueltue rhoek tah sal yoethen ni. Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amih te cihin a vaep tih a ngolhlung dongah aka pongpa rhoek loh amih te a khut.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed are those [servants].
Pathum, pabae la ha pawk vaengah aka tawt te a hmuh tangloeng dongah amih tah yoethen la om uh.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
Tedae he he ming uh, hlanghuen ha pawk nah khonoek te imkung loh ming koinih, a im te muk hamla hlah sut pawt sue.
40 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Te dongah nangmih loh sikim la om uh, hlang capa tah na poek uh pawt tue ah ni ha pawk eh?,” a ti nah.
41 And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
Peter loh, “Boeipa, he nuettahnah he kaimih ham a? Hlang boeih ham khaw na thui a?” a ti nah.
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Boeipa loh, “Unim uepom neh aka cueih hnokhoem la aka om van? Boeipa loh anih te a imlo soah a tue a tang neh maehham aka tael la a khueh ni.
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Tekah sal tah a yoethen, a saii te a Boeipa ha pawk vaengah a hmuh pah van ni.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a khuehtawn boeih soah anih ni a ngol sak eh.
45 But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Tedae tekah sal loh a thinko khuiah, ' Ka boeipa ha pawk ham tah koe pueng ni,” a ti. Te dongah salnu camoe te koe a boh tih a caak, a ok neh rhui.
46 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
Sal kah a boei tah a lamtawn mueh khohnin neh a ming mueh a tue vaengah ha pawk koinih, anih te a tloek vetih a paihmuen te aka tangnahmuen rhoek taengla a khueh pah ni.
47 And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
Tekah sal loh a Boeipa kah kongaih a ming dae, rhuengphong pawt tih amah kongaih bangla a saii dongah a boh dahlawt ni.
48 but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
Tedae aka ming pawt loh a saii atah nganboh a yook ham tueng te a yool ni a boh eh. A yet a paek hlang boeih te tah a taengah a yet a toem pah vetih, muep a paek hlang taengah khaw muep a hoe pah ni.
49 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
Diklai dongah hmai pak hamla ka pawk coeng dongah, metla hlae oepsoeh cakhaw ka ngaih mai coeng.
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Baptistma khaw nuem hamla ka om pueng tih, ka coeng hlan atah metlamnim n'nan ve.
51 Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Diklai ah rhoepnah paek ham ka pawk tila na poek uh a? Moenih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, paekboenah ham dae ni he.
52 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Tahae lamkah longtah im pakhat ah panga la paek uh thae vetih, panit pathum, panit pathum ah om uh ni.
53 They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
Pa neh capa, capa neh pa, manu neh canu, canu neh manu, mani neh a langa, langa neh mani paekboe uh ni,” a ti nah.
54 And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
Te phoeiah hlangping te khaw, “Khotlak ah khomai a thoeng te na hmuh uh vaengah, ' Khonal ha pai ni, ' pahoi na ti uh tih pai tangloeng van.
55 And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
Tuithim a hli vaengah, “Kholing ha pai ni,” na ti uh tih pai tangloeng.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
Hlangthai palat rhoek, diklai neh vaan kah maelhmai ke soepsoei ham na ming uh tih a tue he balae tih soepsoei ham na ming uh pawh.
57 And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Namamih ham khaw balae tih a dueng la lai na tloek uh pawh.
58 For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
Na kocaelh neh boei taengla na caeh vaengah anih te a paa nah hamla longpueng ah bi saii laeh, laitloekkung taengla namah n'det ve. Laitloekkung loh namah te palik taengla m'voei vetih ' palik loh thongim ah n'hla ve.
59 I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
Na taengah kan thui, mucih ca khaw boeih na thuung hlan atah te lamkah loh na loeih loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
