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,
Cekcoengawh Jesu taw khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi awh cet nawh, khawsa qam awithang leek ce kqawn hy. A hubat thlanghqa hlaihih tloek awm a venawh awm uhy,
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;
cekcoengawh amah ing qaihche ingkaw tlawhnatnaak awhkawng a qoei sak nu thlang vang tloek awm a venawh awm lawt uhy: ak kawk khui awhkawng qaaikhqi ak cawn Meri (Magdalene ak mingnaak);
3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
Herod a ipkhui ak khoemkung Chuza a zu Joanna; Susanna ingkaw ak chang nukhqi khawzah awm uhy. Vawhkaw nukhqi ing a mimah a ik-oeih ing Jesu ingkaw a hubatkhqi ce do a dan uhy.
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.
Cawh thlang khawzah cun law unawh, khaw hoei awhkaw thlang boeih awm a venna law usaw, nyttahnaak awi hawnak ing awi kqawn pek khqi hy.
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.
“Lo ak toenkung thlang pynoet taw camci ak theh na cet hy. Camci ce ak theh awh, camci a vang taw lam awh tla nawh; thlang ing leh nawh phakhqi ing cung hloep uhy.
6 Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
A vang taw lung awh tla nawh, hang cawt law hlai hy, ak kqa am cak nawh qeu pahoei hy.
7 Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
Camci a vang taw hling anglak na tla nawh, hling ing zawi khoep saw qeen zip hy.
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!”
Camci a vang taw ang laih leek awh tla hy, cawt nawh vui thaih hy, a pyh zakhat dyna ak thaih thawt hy,” tinak khqi hy. Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh, “Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
9 But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
A hubatkhqi ing cawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce doet uhy.
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.’
A mingmih a venawh, “Khawsa ram simnaak awihyp ce nangmih a venawh taw peek na awm hawh hy, cehlai thlak chang a venawh taw nyhtahnaak awi ing kqawn pe nyng, “Hu hlai kawm uh, a mami hatnaak aham ingkaw za hlai kawm uh, a maming zaksimnaak aham,' tinak khqi hy.
11 This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
Nyhtahnaak awi ing ak kqawn ngaihnaak taw vemyihna awm hy: Camci cetaw Khawsak awi 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.
Lam awh ak tla camci taw thlang ing awithang leek ce za hlai hy; qaai ing law nawh, ap cangna unawh, thaawngna ama mi awm naak ham amik kawlung khui awhkaw ce loh pek khqi hy.
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.
Lung awh ak tla camci cetaw awi ce ang zaak awh zeelnaak ing do pahoei hy, cehlai ak kqa am awm hy. Kawlhkalh awhkaw ham doeng cangna unawh, sykzoeknaak a law awhtaw nawng taak uhy.
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.
Hling lakawh ak tla camci cetaw awi ce za nawh do hy, cehlai ce ak awi ce khawmdek khawsaknaak awh lylapnaakkhqi, boeinaak ingkaw awmhlynaakkhqi ing a zawl khoep adawngawh am taai thai hy.
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.
Cehlai ang laih leek awh ak tla camci cetaw: kawlung dyngnaak ingkaw leeknaak ing awi za unawh, kym unawh, thaih qui qah uhy.
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.
U ingawm mai a vang awh dawn ing am myk unawh, ihkhun ak kaina am tahy; ipkhui awh ak awm thlangkhqi ing vangnaak ce a mi huh thainaak ham, maihvang a mim hawihnaak awh ni a mim hawih.
17 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
Kawtih a mang dangnaak thai ham thuh ak phah khawi pynoet ca awm am awm kaw, amak dang hly kawi ang hyp na ak awm ik-oeih pynoet ca awm am awm kaw.
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!”
Cedawngawh ikawmyihna awi naming ngai tice ak nep cana poek uh. U awm ak ta cetaw sap pek khqoet kawm usaw; cehlai u awm amak ta cetaw, a taak chyn lawh pekna awm kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
Jesu a nu ingkaw a naakhqi ce a venna law uhy, cehlai thlang a kqeng aih awh a venna am cet thai uhy.
20 Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
Cedawngawh, “Na nu ingkaw na koeinaakhqi ce a leng na dyi unawh, nang ni huh ham ngaih uhy,” tina uhy.
21 “My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
Cawh anih ing, “Ve Khawsak awi za nawh ak saikhqi taw ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi ni,” tinak khqi hy.
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.
Hypoet awh Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh, “Tuiqal na cet usih,” tinak khqi hy. Cedawngawh lawng khuina lut unawh cet uhy.
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.
A mi ceh huili awh anih taw ip hy. Tuiawh ce khaw hli lawnawh lawng ce tui be khoep saw ly unawh awm uhy.
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 venna cet unawh thawh uhy, a venawh, “Bawipa, Bawipa, kaimih tui awh cum hly hawh u nyng ve!” tina uhy. Cawh anih ce tho lawnawh khawhli ingkaw tuiphu ce zyi hy; cawh khawhli ce dym nawh a sitdik na awm tlaih hy.
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!”
Cekcoengawh amingmih ce, “Hana namik cangnaak?” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing kqih ingkaw kawpoek kyi doena, “Ve ve u nu ve? Khawhli ingkaw tui ce awi pe saw ak awi aming ngai pek hy,” ti qu uhy.
26 They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
Galili caqai ben nakaw Gerasenes ben ce pha uhy.
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.
Ce hun ami pha awh, ce a khawk khuiawh ak awm qaai ing am tu thlang pynoet ing pan law hy. Ce ak thlang taw khawqyt khuiawh angki hinaak a bai kaana im awh awm am awm nawh, phyi khqang awm poepa hy.
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 ing Jesu ce a huh awh, khy nawh a khawkung awh khukzym pehy, ak tha yy nawh, “Jesu, sawsang soeih Khawsa Capa, ikaw ni tina vang na ti? Koeh ni khuikha sak mai, qeennaak ni thoeh nyng,” tina hy.
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.
Jesu ing qaihche a venawh thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn aham awi a na pe khawi hawh hy, a kut a khaw ce thiqui ing pin unawh thlang awm qeh sak hlai uhy, thiquikhqi phu kyk kyk nawh qaai ing anih ce kqawk chyp na sawi poepa hy.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
Jesu ing “U nu nang ming naak?” tina hy. Anih ing, “Legion,” ni, (ak kawk khuiawh qaai khawzah a awm a dawngawh) tina hy.
Lawk-kqawng ak dung soeih awh a mingmih ce amak thlaak naak aham a venawh qeennaak thoeh uhy. (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,
Cawh tlang awh vawk sawng khawzah awm usaw, vawkkhqi ak kawk khuiawh mah lut sak khqi aham qeennaak thoeh uhy, ce a dawngawh anih ing lut sak khqi hy.
33 so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
Qaaikhqi taw thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn unawh, vawk ak kawk khuina ce lut uhy; cawh vawkkhqi ce hqeeng nakawng tuili na cawn unawh thi boeih uhy.
34 When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
Cemyihna ik-oeih ak awm ce vawk ak cahkhqi ing a mi huh awh dawng unawh khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi na ce kqawn usaw,
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.
cedawngawh cawhkaw ik-oeih ce ak toek aham thlangkhqi ce cet uhy. Jesu a ven a mi pha awh, ak kawk khuiawh kawng qaai ak cawn thlang, hi bai nawh sangthingna Jesu a khawkung awh ak ngawi ce hu unawh kqih uhy.
36 Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Ak hukhqi boeih ing qaai ing am tu thlang ikawmyihna a qoeinaak tice thlangkhqi venawh kqawn pe uhy.
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.
Cedawngawh Gerasenes qam khuiawh ak awm thlangkhqi boeih ing a mik kqih soeih a dawngawh cekkhqi ce cehtaak aham qeennaak thoeh uhy. Cedawngawh lawng khuina ce lut tlaih unawh cet hy.
38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
Ak kawk khuiawh kawng qaai ak cawn thlang ing a hu awh bat lawt aham qeennaak thoeh hy, cehlai Jesu ing voei sak tlaih hy.
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.
Na im na voei nawhtaw Khawsa ing ikawmyihna nak khan awh ik-oeih a sai tice vak kqawn” tina hy. Cedawngawh ce ak thlang ing cet nawh Jesu ing ikawmyihna ik-oeih a sai peek tice khawk khuina kqawn hy.
40 A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
Jesu ce ang voei tlaih awh, thlang boeih ing anih ce a ming ngaih-u a dawngawh thlangkhqi ing ym uhy.
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
Cawh Jairu ak mingnaak, Sinakawk ukkung thlang pynoet ce law nawh Jesu a khawkung awh khuksym nawh a im na ceh aham qeennaak thoeh hy.
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.
Canu a taak dyn, kum hqa hlaihih ak law ce tlo nawh thi hlo hlo hy. Lam a ceh huiawh, thlang kqeng ing anih ce nen uhy.
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.
Cawh kum hqa hlaihih a thi na ak kqam nu pynoet ce awm hy, a u ingawm anih ce am qoei sak thai hy.
44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
Anih ce a hu awh cet nawh a hidawng ca ce bi pehy, cawh a thi ce dym hy.
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 ing, “U nu kai anik bi?” tinak khqi hy. Thlang boeih ing, “Am sim nyng,” a mi tinaak awh Piter ing, “Bawipa, thlang a doem aih awh ni nen unawh ni,” tina hy.
46 “Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
Cehlai Jesu ing, “Thlang pynoet oet ing ni bi hy; saithainaak ka venawh kawng cawn hy ti sim nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
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.
Cawhkaw nu ing thuh thai na am awm voel hy ti a sim awh, thyn doena a venna cet nawh a khawkung awh koep pehy. Thlang boeih a haiawh kawtih bi nawh ikawmyihna a qoei tlang tice kqawn pehy.
48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
Cekcoengawh cawhkaw nu a venawh, “Ka canu, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy. Ngaihding caana cet hlah” tina hy.
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.”
Jesu ing cemyihna awi ak kqawn huiawh, Sinakawk ukkung Jairu a im nakawng thlang pynoet ce law hy. Anih ing, “Na canu ce thi hawh hy, cawngpyikung ce koeh lawn voel,” tina hy.
50 But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
Jesu ing ce ak awi ang zaak awh Jairu a venawh, “Koeh ly; cang mah cangna lah, na canu ce qoei tlaih bit kaw,” tina hy.
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.
Jairu a im ce a mi pha awh, Piter, Johan, Jakob ingkaw a nu a pa doeng ce ip khuina ceh pyi hy.
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.”
Cawh thlangkhqi boeih taw ko ang kqang uhy. Jesu ing, “Koeh kqang voel uh, ak thi am ni, ak ip ni,” tinak khqi hy.
53 They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
Cawh cekkhqi ing nuca taw thi hawh hy tice a mi sim a dawngawh qaih na uhy.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
Nuca ce a kut awh am tu coengawh, “Ka ca tho hlah,” tina hy.
55 She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
Cawh ang Myihla ce voei tlaih nawh, tho pahoei hy. Jesu ing ai kawi pynoet oet peek aham kqawn pehy.
56 Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
A nu ingkaw a pa taw a ning ngaih kyi soeih hy, cehlai cawhkaw ik-oeih ce u a venawh awm amak kqawn aham awi pehy.
