< Luke 8 >

1 Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
To pacoengah, Jesu loe vangpui hoi vangta boih ah caeh moe, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae ih kahoih tamthanglok to taphong, a hnukbang hatlai hnettonawk doeh anih khaeah oh o.
2 along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
Taqawk sae mah naehhaih thung hoi ngan katui let thoemto nongpatanawk, takoh thung hoiah taqawk sae sarihto tacawt Meri, tiah kawk ih Magdalene,
3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
Herod ih im khenzawnkung, Chuza ih zu Joanna, Susanna hoi Anih han angmacae ih hmuennawk kapaek kalah nongpatanawk to oh o.
4 Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
Avang kruek ih pop parai kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o moe, Anih khaeah angzoh o, to naah anih mah patahhaih lok to thuih pae:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
aantii haeh kami loe angmah ih aantii to haeh hanah a caeh: antii to a haeh naah thoemto loe loklam ah krak; kaminawk mah cawh o moe, van ih tavanawk mah akhuih o ving.
6 Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
Thoemto loe thlung nuiah krak; akra ai ah amprawk roep, toe long kahoih om ai pongah azaem ving.
7 Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
Thoemto loe soekhring thungah krak; soekhring qoeng tahang naah, aankung to tacet hmoek.
8 Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
Thoemto aantii loe long kahoih nuiah krak, amprawk tahang moe, alet cumvai khoek to athaih. Hae loknawk a thuih pacoengah, anih mah, Thaihaih naa tawn kami loe thaih nasoe, tiah a naa.
9 But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
A hnukbang kaminawk mah patahhaih lok thuih koehhaih to anih khaeah dueng o.
10 Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
Anih mah, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae tamqu lok panoekhaih to nangcae khaeah paek boeh: toe kalah kaminawk khaeah loe patahhaih lok hoiah thuih han ih ni paek; Nihcae loe khen o cadoeh hnu o mak ai, thaih o cadoeh panoek o mak ai, tiah a naa.
11 This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
Patahhaih lok thuih koehhaih loe hae tiah oh: aantii loe Sithaw lok to ni.
12 The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
Loklam ah krah aantii loe tamthanglok hoih thaih kami ah oh o, toe nihcae mah lok to tang o ueloe, pahlonghaih hnu o moeng tih, tih pongah taqawk loe angzoh moe, nihcae palung thung ih lok to lak pae ving.
13 The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
Thlung nuiah kakrah aantii loe lok to thaih o moe, anghoehaih hoiah talawk o roep; toe tangzun om ai, a tanghaih loe nawnetta thung khueah oh pongah, pacuekhaih tue phak naah amtimh ving kami thuih koehhaih ih ni.
14 The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
Soekhring thungah kakrah aantii loe lok to thaih o, toe hae long nui khosak mawnhaih, angraenghaih hoi kanawm acaenghaihnawk mah lok to khuk khoep pongah, athaih athai ai kami to thuih koehhaih ih ni.
15 The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
Toe kahoih long nuiah kakrah aantii loe, lok to toenghaih palungthin, kahoih palungthin hoiah tahngai moe, pakuem kami, palungsawkhaih hoiah athaih athai kami to thuih koehhaih ih ni.
16 You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
Mi mah doeh hmaithawk paaang naah, takho hoiah khuk vai ai, to tih ai boeh loe iihkhun tlim ah suem vai ai; imthung ah akun kaminawk mah aanghaih hnuk o thai hanah, hmaithawk paaanghaih ahmuen ah ni a suek o.
17 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
Amtueng thai ai, tamquta ah kaom hmuen tidoeh om ai baktih toengah, amtueng ai, panoek han ai ah kanghawk, hmuen tidoeh om ai.
18 So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
To pongah kawbangmaw ka thaih thai han, tiah acoehaih hoiah lok to tahngai oh: mi kawbaktih doeh katawn kami loe paek aep tih; katawn ai kami loe ka tawnh boeh, tiah a poek ih hmuen to doeh la pae kik tih, tiah a naa.
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
Jesu ih amno hoi nawkamyanawk loe anih khaeah angzoh o, toe kami pop parai pongah anih khaeah caeh o thai ai.
20 Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
Thoemto kaminawk mah, nam no hoi nam nawkamyanawk mah nang hnuk han koeh o pongah, tasa bangah angdoet o, tiah a naa.
21 “My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Sithaw lok tahngai moe, to tiah khosah kaminawk loe Kai ih amno hoi Kai ih nawkamya ah ni oh o, tiah a naa.
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
Nito naah, anih loe a hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto palong thungah caeh, Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Tui kangbuem yaeh ah caeh o si, tiah a naa. Nihcae loe to ah caeh o.
23 As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
Toe a caeh o naah anih loe iih: tui kanguem a phak o naah takhi sae to song; palong thungah tui koi mong boeh pongah, nihcae loe raihaih tong o.
24 They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
A hnukbang kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, anih to palawt o, Angraeng, Angraeng, kang hmat o tom boeh, tiah a naa o.
25 “Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
Anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Tanghaih naah maw na suek o? tiah a naa. Nihcae loe zit o moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o. Hae loe kawbaktih kami maw! Takhi hoi tui hanah lok a paek naah, a lok to tahngai pae o, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
26 They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
Nihcae loe Kalili prae zaeh ah kaom, Gerasenes prae ah caeh o.
27 When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
Anih saoeng ah phak naah, to vangpui ah kaom saning sawk parai ah taqawk mah naeh ih kami maeto mah Jesu to hnuk. To kami loe laihaw angkhuk ai, im ah doeh om ai, taprong ah ni khosak.
28 When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
Anih mah Jesu to hnuk naah, anih khokkung ah amtimh, Kasang koek Sithaw Capa, Jesu, nang hoi kai timaw asaenghaih oh, kai hae na pacaekthlaek hmah, tahmenhaih kang hnik, tiah tha hoi a hangh.
29 For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
(Anih mah to kami ih takoh thung hoi tacawt hanah taqawk sae to lokpaek. To kami loe taqawk sae mah naeh tuektuek boeh: anih ih khok ban to sumqui hoiah pathlet pae o moe, sumboeng hoiah doeh thlongthuk o boeh; toe sumqui to taprawt pat pacoengah, taqawk mah anih to praezaek ah hoih ving.)
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
Jesu mah anih khaeah, Nang ih ahmin loe mi aa? tiah dueng. To naah anih mah, Takoh thungah taqawk oh mangh pongah, Legion, tiah a naa.
31 They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
Nihcae to kathuk tahawt thungah caehsak han ai ah, anih khaeah tahmenhaih hnik o. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
To ah pop parai ok pacahhaih ahmuen to oh: nihcae mah ok thung akun hanah anih khaeah hnik o. To naah Anih mah akunsak.
33 so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
Taqawknawk loe kami takoh thung hoi tacawt o moe, ok takoh thungah akun o: to naah oknawk loe tui kangbuem ohhaih bangah cawnh o tathuk moe, tui uem o boih.
34 When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
To tiah kaom hmuen to ok pacah kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, vangpui hoi vangta ah cawnh o moe, to tiah kaom hmuen kawng to a thuih o.
35 The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
To tiah kaom hmuen to khet hanah kaminawk loe to ahmuen ah caeh o; Jesu khaeah a phak o naah, kahni angkhuk moe, poek kaciim ah Jesu khokkung ah anghnu, takoh thung hoi taqawk tacawt kami to a hnuk o; nihcae mah to kami to zit o.
36 Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Hnu kaminawk boih mah taqawk mah naeh ih kami loe kawbangmaw ngantui let, tito kaminawk khaeah thuih pae o.
37 Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
Gaderene prae taengah kaom paroeai kaminawk loe zit o pongah, nihcae caehtaak hanah Angraeng khaeah tahmenhaih hnik o: to pongah anih palong thungah akun moe, amlaem let.
38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
Takoh thung hoi taqawk tacawt kami mah Angraeng hnuk bang hanah a hnik: toe Jesu mah anih to patoeh ving,
39 “Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
nangmah im ah amlaem ah loe, Sithaw mah kawkruk ah kalen hmuen maw na nuiah sak, tito patuek ah, tiah a naa.
40 A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
Jesu amlaem let naah, pop parai kaminawk mah anih to zing o, anih to oephaih hoiah talawk o.
41 One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
Khenah, Jairu, tiah ahmin kaom, Sineko ukkung maeto angzoh: anih loe Jesu khokkung ah tabok moe, anih im ah caeh pae hanah tahmenhaih a hnik:
42 because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
saning hatlai hnetto kaom, maeto khue tawn ih a canu loe, ngannat moe duek duih. Anih loklam ah caeh naah, pop parai kaminawk anih khaeah amkhueng o.
43 In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
To naah saning hatlai hnetto athii kalong nongpata maeto oh, anih loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk to zawh boih moe, tuisi kop kami khaeah a caeh, toe mi mah doeh anih to ngantui o sak thai ai.
44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
To nongpata loe anih hnuk ah caeh moe, anih ih kahni tom to sui: to naah kalong athii to dip roep.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
Jesu mah, Kai sui kami loe mi maw? tiah a naa. Kaminawk boih mah panoek ai, tiah a naa o. Piter hoi anih hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk mah, Angraeng, pop parai kaminawk mah nang ang et o moe, ang nuih o to loe, Kai sui kami loe mi maw? tiah na thuih, tiah a naa.
46 “Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
Jesu mah, Kami maeto mah Kai ang sui: Kai khae hoi sakthaihaih tha tacawt boeh, tito ka panoek, tiah a naa.
47 When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
Nongpata mah kang phat thai ai boeh, tiah panoek naah, tasoehhaih hoiah a caeh moe, a hmaa ah cangkrawn pacoengah, anih suihaih hoi ngan a tuihaih kawng to paroeai kaminawk hmaa ah taphong.
48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
To pacoengah nongpata khaeah, Ka canu, na tanghaih mah ang hoihsak boeh: kamongah caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
Anih mah lokthuih li naah, Sineko ukkung Jairu im hoiah kami maeto angzoh moe, Na canu loe duek boeh; Patukkung to raihaih paek khing hmah lai ah, tiah a naa.
50 But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
Jesu mah to lok to thaih naah, Jairu khaeah, Tasoeh hmah: tanghaih palung khue mah tawn ah, na canu loe ngantui let tih, tiah a naa.
51 When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
Anih Jairu im ah phak naah loe Piter, Johan, Jakob hoi nongpata ih amno ampanawk khue ai ah loe, mi doeh imthung ah akunsak ai.
52 All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
Kaminawk boih anih hanah palungsethaih hoiah qah o haih: Anih mah, Qah o hmah; anih loe dueh ai, iih ni a iih, tiah a naa.
53 They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
Nongpata loe duek boeh, tiah nihcae mah panoek o pognah, Anih to pahnui o thuih.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
Anih loe to ah kaom kaminawk to tasa bangah tacawtsak boih moe, nongpata ih ban to patawnh pae, Nongpata ta, angthawk ah, tiah a naa.
55 She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
To naah anih ih pakhra amlaem let moe, angthawk roep: nongpata to caaknaek paek o hanah Jesu mah thuih pae.
56 Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
Nongpata ih amno hoi ampa loe paroeai dawnrai hoi: toe to tiah kaom hmuen to mi khaeah doeh thuih han ai ah lok a paek.
