Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware all of you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Thlang kqeng cun unawh, pynoet ingkaw pynoet a ming leh qu nawk nawk awh, Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh: “Thailatnaak ing amik awm Farasikhqi awh ce naming ngaih ta lah uh.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Amang dangnaak aham ikaw awm thuh am awm kawmsaw, amni sim kawi ang hyp ikawawm am awm kaw.
3 Therefore whatsoever all of you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which all of you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Thannaak awh na mik kqawn ce khawkdai awh thlang ing za kaw, ipkhui awh a khoeh cana thlang ang haa keng awh na mik kqawn ce iptih nakawng khypyi kawm uh.
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 pyikhqi, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, 'pum him thai unawh, cekcoengawh ikawawm amak sai thai qoe voelkhqi ce koeh kqih uh.
5 But I will forewarn you whom all of you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Cehlai na mik kqih hly kawi ce nim huh khqi vang nyng: A him coengawh hell khuina thlaknaak thai ak ta ce kqih uh. Oeih, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ce kqih uh. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Hqit ca pumha ce tangka pia pakkhih na zawi u hy? Cehlai Khawsa ing cekkhqi khuiawh pynoet ca awm am hilh hy.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
Na lu awhkaw lusam za noet boeihna ak awm ni. Cedawngawh koeh kqih uh; nangmih taw hqit anglakawh nami phu awm khqoet hy.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, thlang a haiawh kai anik dyihpyi taw Khawsa ak khan ceityihkhqi a haiawh Thlanghqing Capa ing anih ce dyihpyi lawt kaw.
9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Cehlai u awm thlang a haiawh kai anik hoet taw Khawsa ak khan ceityihkhqi haiawh anih ce hoet lawt kawng nyng.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven.
U awm Thlanghqing Capa ing ak kalh na awi ak kqawn taw qeenkhaw ngainaak hu kaw, cehlai u awm Ciim Myihla ak kqawn seet ak thlang taw qeenkhaw ngainaak am hu voel kaw.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take all of you no thought how or what thing all of you shall answer, or what all of you shall say:
Sinakawk, ukkung khqi ingkaw boeikhqi haiawh a ni khyn khqi awh, cangnaak hulnaak hly kawi ingkaw awi nak kqawnnaak hly kawi awh koeh ngaih sa uh,
12 For the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall teach you in the same hour what all of you ought to say.
Cawh nak kqawn hly kawi ce Ciim Myihla ing ni cawngpyi khqi bit kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Thlang kqeng ak khui awhkaw thlang pynoet oet ing, “Cawngpyikung, ka naa ing qo aning paa pyi aham kqawn pe lah,” tina hy.
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Jesu ing a venawh, “U ing nangnih anglak law awh awidengkung am awhtaw lai ak kqawnkungna ani taak?” tina hy.
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
Thlangkhqi venawh, “Ngaih ta lah uh! Ak kamvaanaak awh ce naming ngaih ta uh; thlanghqing a hqingnaak ve qo khawzah taaknaak awhkawng sai na am awm hy,” tina hy.
16 And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Cekcoengawh vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy: “Thlang boei pynoet a lo taw cang daw soeih hy.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Cedawngawh vemyihna ak kaw poek hy, ‘ikaw ka sai lah voei? Cang ka taaknaak aham khai am khoek voel hy,’ tihy.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Cekcoengawh vemyihna tihy, ‘Vemyihna sai vang nyng. Khaikhqi ve hqe nyng saw ak bau khqoet na sa vang nyng, cawh ce cang ingkaw ka themkhqi boeih ta vang nyng.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Cekcoengawh kamah ingkaw kamah ce, ‘kum khawqyt awh na hawnaak aham khawh khawzah ta hawh hyk ti. Ai nawhtaw, aw nawh ngaihding hlah,’ ti vang nyng,” tihy.
20 But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
Cehlai Khawsa ing a venawh, ‘Nang thlakqaw pa, tawh than qoe awh na hqinglu ce ni lawh pe kaw; tuhawhkaw na khawhthemkhqi boeih ve u ing nu a pang kaw?’ tina hy.
21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
U awm amah ham doeng khawh cun nawh Khawsa benawh ak khawdeng taw, vemyihna awm uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat; neither for the body, what all of you shall put on.
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh: “Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, 'Ikaw ka ai kaw?' 'Ikaw ka bai ka naak kaw?' tinawh nami hqingnaak awh koeh ngaisa uh.
23 The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
Awk ai anglakawh hqingnaak ce awipyi bet hy, suibai anglakawh pum ve awipyi bet hy.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are all of you better than the fowls?
Vangaakkhqi ce poek lah uh: quk am saw uhy, cang awm am aat uhy, khai awm am ta unawh tep awm am ta hlai uhy; cehlai Khawsa ing a mingmih ce cah khqi hy. Nangmih taw pha khqing lakawh nami phu tlo khqoet saw kaw!
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
U ing nu a ngaisaknaak ak caming a hqingnaak khawnoek pynoet kangna awm a cawng thai?
26 If all of you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take all of you thought for the rest?
Vemih ik-oeih ak zawica zani am nami sai thai awh, ikaw ham ak changkhqi awh ce naming ngaisak?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Lili khqai ve ikawmyihna a taainaak tice poek lah uh. Bi am bi unawh hla awm am bi uhy. Cehlai ka nik kqawn peek khqi, Solomon ing zani a boeimangnaak boeih ing ang thoei cam qu awh vawhkaw lili khqai pynoet ca kangna awm am pha hy.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O all of you of little faith?
Khawsa ing lo awhkaw lili khqai, tuhngawi awh awm hlai hy a khawngawi awh mai awh phum a aham ak awm zani cemyih dyna a thawi a cam awhtaw, Aw cangnaak ak zawikhqi, nangmih ak khqoet taw ikawmyih dyna nu ani thawi ani cam khqi kaw!
29 And seek not all of you what all of you shall eat, or what all of you shall drink, neither be all of you of doubtful mind.
Awk ai awh namik kawlung koeh ta law uh; ve a dawngawh koeh ngaisa uh.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that all of you have need of these things.
Ikawtih Khawsa amak sim lukihkhqi ing ni vemyih ik-oeih amik poek hy, vemyihkhqi ngoe uhyk ti tice nami Pa ing sim hy.
31 But rather seek all of you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
A qam ce sui cang uh, vemyihkhqi boeih awm ni sap law sih khqi bit kaw.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Tuu a khoehca khqi aw, koeh kqih uh, kawtih nami Pa ing nangmih a venawh qam peek aham ngaih hy.
33 Sell that all of you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
Nami khawhthemkhqi ce zawi unawh taw hahqahkhqi venawh pe lah uh. Quk-ai ama ceh thainaak ingkaw laihqa ing ama hqawk thainaak, amak boeih thai khawh a awmnaak khawk khan awh, khawh ce nami mah aham cun lah uh.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Ikawtih nami khawh a awmnaak awh, namik kawlung awm awm lawt kaw.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
A coekqoek na thoeih ang cam qu unawh taw nami mai-imkhqi ce a oepchoeh cana dawi uh,
36 And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
zu lawh poei nakawng ak voei law hly Bawipa ce a na qeh unawh chawh ak khoek law awh a mim awng peek aham ami qeh amyihna qeh lah uh.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth and serve them.
Ami Bawipa a law awh ih kaa na amik qeh tyihzawihkhqi ham nep kaw. Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, anih ing thoeii ang cam qu kawmsaw, cekkhqi ce caboei awh buh a veel sak khqi coengawh, a mingmih ce qeh kaw.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Khawmthan khawnoek pakkhih awh nu pakthum awh nu, a Bawipa a law awh oepchoeh na ak awm tyihzawihkhqi aham nep kaw.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Cehlai ve ve sim uh: imkung ing ityk awh nu quk-ai a law kaw, tice a sim mantaw, ityk awh awm quk-ai ce a ipkhui na am luh sak kaw.
40 Be all of you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when all of you think not.
Cemyih lawtna nangmih awm a ngaihtaak ing awm uh, am namik poeknaak a tym awh thlanghqing Capa ce law kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
Piter ing, “Bawipa, vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kaimih aham nu nak kqawn, thlakchang aham nu nak kqawn peek?” tina hy.
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Bawipa ing, “Khawh ak khoemkung ypawm, ak cyi, a boei ing a tym a khoeh awh buh an ak qekna imkhui awh ukkungna ak tyh hly ce a u nu?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
A pa ang voei tlaih awh cemyihna bi ak bi tyihzawih aham nep kaw.
44 Truthfully I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cemyih ak thlang ce a khawhthem boeih ak khan awh ak khawng kungna ta kaw.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the male servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Cehlai cawhkaw thlang ing, ‘ka Bawipa ve am law tang,’ tinawh tyihzawih Pa ingkaw nukhqi ce a vyk ak pai coengawh zuk qui ing awm mai lah seh.
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
Amak poek a khawnghi ingkaw ama sim a khawnghi awh a Bawipa ce pha law plak kaw. Anih ce ak tlyh poet poet coengawh, amak cangnaak thlangkhqi ang dyih hun ce anih ing pang lawt kaw.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
A Bawipa ak kawngaih ce sim hlai hy a hylthyl na amak awm, am awhtaw a Bawipa ing sai sak aham a ngaih ce amak sai tyihzawih cetaw vyk plak cal kaw.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Cehlai ama sim dawngawh ik-oeih amak sai ingkaw coet kawi na ik-oeih ak sai cetaw a vyk boe bet kaw. Khawzah a peek thlang a venawh, khawzah ngoe kawmsaw khawzah a khoem sak thlang a venawh khawzah thoeh lawt kaw.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Khawmdek awh ve mai ni ka haw law hy, tuh awm ui hlah mai thaw voei!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Cehlai baptisma ka huh hly kawi ce awm hyn hy, ce a soep hlan dy taw khuikha mah nyng!
51 Suppose all of you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Khawmdek awh qoepnaak awm sak aham law hy, tinawh namik poek nawh nu? Amni, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, pek ang bonaak ni ka haw law hy.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Tuh kawng kai a dawngawh, ipkhuikaw pynoet awh hlang pumha a awm mai mantaw, pek qu kawn usaw pakthum ingkaw pakkhih ce qaal qu kawm uh, pakkhih ingkaw pakthum ce awm qaal qu kawm uh.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Pa ingkaw Capa, Capa ingkaw a pa pek qu kawm uh, a nu ingkaw a canu, a canu ingkaw a nu pek qu kawm uh, a cii ingkaw a langa, a langa ingkaw a cii pek qu kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
54 And he said also to the people, When all of you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately all of you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
Cekcoeng thlang kqeng a venawh, “Khaw tlaaknaak benna myi ang zam law awhtaw, ‘khaw aa kaw,’ ti uhyk ti, khaw awm aa tangak hy.
55 And when all of you see the south wind blow, all of you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
Thlung benna kaw zilh a law awhtaw, ‘khaw ling kaw,’ ti uhyk ti, khaw ling tangak hy.
56 All of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that all of you do not discern this time?
Thlak thaikhqi! Khaw ingkaw khawmdek taw hat thai zawk hlai uhyk ti ce. Ikawmyihna tuh awhkaw a tym vetaw am nami hat thai?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge all of you not what is right?
“Ikawtih ik-oeih ak thym ce am nami hqimhqa thai?
58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
Na qaal mi awidengnaak hyn na lam awh nani ceh hui awh, qoepnaak ce sai uh, cemyih am awhtaw na qaal ing awidengkung a venna ni sawi kaw, cekcoengawh awidengkung ing boei a venna ni khyn kaw, boei ing nang ce thawngim khui na nik thla kaw.
59 I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, laiba na ki hlan dy taw am loet kawp ti,” tina hy.
