Luke 17
1 Jesus said to his disciples, ‘It is inevitable that there should be temptations but sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Katnak üng khyang kyukngtäng sak khaia biloki cun a jo se ve,
2 It would be better for them if they had been flung into the sea with a millstone round their neck, rather than that they should cause even one of these little ones to stumble.
“Hina anghmawca he üngka mat a mkhyekat saka kthaka ta a nghngü üng ksum khawp lü mliktui üng tawnin a hama daw bawk khai ni.
3 Be on your guard! If your brother or sister does wrong, rebuke them; but if they repent, forgive them.
“Cäei ua, na bena naw a ning katnak üng na mcäi vai, a ngjut üng na mhlät vai.
4 Even if they wrong you seven times a day, but turns to you every time and says “I am sorry,” you must forgive them.’
“Mhmüp mat üng khyüh vei ning mkhyekat na lü, khyüh vei, ‘ngjut veng’ ti lü, a ning law si üng na mhlät vai,” a ti.
5 ‘Give us more faith,’ said the apostles to the Master;
Acunüng ngsä he naw, “Kami jumnak jah pung pea” ti u se,
6 but the Master said, ‘If your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it would obey you.
Jesuh naw, “Anca ui nglung ata kba jumnak nami tak üng, hina thing üng, ‘Na pya maha ngphawng law lü, mliktuia khana va ngdüia’ ti u lü, nami ngthu ngai khai.
7 Which of you, if he had a servant ploughing, or tending the sheep, would say to him, when he came in from the fields, “Come at once and take your place at the table,”
“Cunsepi, nangmi üngka u naw a m'ya lai thawnkia pi kyase, toksäma pi kyase a law be üng, ‘law lü, ei law ktäia’ ti khai aw?
8 Instead of saying “Prepare my dinner, and then make yourself ready and serve me while I am eating and drinking, and after that you will eat and drink yourself”?
“Acukba am pyen lü, ‘ka ei vai na pyan law pea, na suisak suiawi lü, ka eiawk k’um üng na ngänga. Acunkäna namät ei kaw pi’ am ti khai aw?
9 Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
“M'ya naw a mahpa a pyena kba a bilawha phäha a mahpa naw, ‘Na bä ni’ ti khai aw? Am ti.
10 And so with you – when you have done all that you have been told, still say “We are but useless servants; we have done no more than we ought to have done.”’
“Acukba ngthupet he avan nami jah pawh käna, ‘Keimi hin kami mahpa kami jekyai sakia am kya naw, kami pawh kung vai kami pawhki ni,’ ti ua” a ti.
11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.
Acunüng hinkba kyaki, Jerusalema ami ceh üng, Samarih la Kalile ng’yü jun üng citki.
12 As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
Acunüng, ngnam mata a luh la, mnehkse mnehkia khyang xa naw ami na khyüm, acun he cun athuknaka ngdüi u lü,
13 Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly, ‘Jesus! Sir! Pity us!’
“Bawipa Jesuh aw, jah m'yeneia” tia, angsanga ngpyangki he.
14 When Jesus saw them, he said, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priest.’ And, as they were on their way, they were made clean.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, a jah hmuh üng, “Cit u lü, ktaiyü hea veia va ngtengei kyusak ua” a ti. Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, ami ceh k’um üng ami van ngcim lawki he.
15 One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
Acunüng, ami van üngka mat naw, yai beki ti a ksing la, angsanga Pamhnam a mküimto maha, nghlat be lü,
16 and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
Jesuha khaw kunga kawp lü, jekyainaka ngthu a pyen; acuna khyang cun Samarih khyanga kyaki.
17 ‘Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine – where are they?
Acunüng, Jesuh naw msang lü, “Khyang xa nami ngcim bekia am kya aih se? Kawe cen hawia ni ami ve?
18 Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
“Hina khyangmjükce naw Pamhnam mküimto khaia nghlat law beki hin” a ti.
19 Get up,’ he said to him, ‘and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.’
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Tho law lü, cita; na jumnak naw ning yai sak be ve,” a ti.
20 Being once asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, Jesus answered, ‘The kingdom of God does not come in a way that can be seen,
Acunüng, Pharise he naw, “Itia ni Pamhnama khaw a pha law kawm?” tia kthäh u se, Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun hmuh thei vaia pha law khaia am kya;
21 nor will people say “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!”; for the kingdom of God is within you!
“Teng u, hia ni, cuia ni,’ ti vaia am kya, Pamhnama khaw cun nami k’uma awmki ni,” ti lü a jah msang.
22 The day will come,’ he said to his disciples, ‘when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.
Acunüng, axüisaw hea veia, “Khyanga Capa khawmhmüp he, mhmüp matca hleng hmu hlü u lü pi am nami hmuhnak thei vaia kcün pha law khai.
23 People will say to you “There he is!” Or “Here he is!” Do not go and follow them.
“Acunüng, nami veia, ‘Teng u, hia ni, cuia ni’ ning jah tina khai he, ä cit u lü, ä nami jah läk vai;
24 For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.
khaw nghmüm law se ‘khana mkek, khan avan üng a vai lawa kba, khyanga Capa a law bea mhmüp üng acunkba kya law khai.
25 But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present generation.
“Cunsepi, am acun ham üng, aktäa khuikhanak khamei lü atuh ngsawn hea ksekhanak vaia awm khai.
26 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
“Nawea kcün üngka kba khyanga Capa a law be üng pi kya law khai.
27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark, and then the flood came and destroyed them all.
“Nawe mlawng üng lut se, mlikpitui phu lawki naw ami van a jah mthihnaka mhmüp am a pha law hlana küt üng, ei aw u lü, ngkhyungla u lü awmki he.
28 So, too, in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
“Acunakba Lotaha xün hün üng; ei aw u lü, khei u lü, jawitu u lü, nglingsaw u lü, ngsawngsaki he;
29 but, on the very day on which Lot came out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the skies and destroyed them all.
cunsepi, Sodom khaw üngka naw, Lotah a ktawiha mhmüp üng khana üngka mei la kat, khawa a lawki naw ami van a jah mthiha kba,
30 It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
khyanga Capa a law bea mhmüp üng kya law khai.
31 On that day, if a person is on their house-top and their goods in the house, they must not go down to get them; nor again must one who is on the farm turn back.
“Acuna mhmüp üng upi, mkyung khana awmki naw, im k’um üngka a khawhthem loei khaia ä kyum law se. Acuna kba laia awmki pi a hnua ä nghlat be se.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
“Lotah khyu süm ua.
33 Whoever is eager to get the most out of their life will lose it; but whoever will lose it will preserve it.
“Upi, amäta xünnak küikyan khaia büki naw mkhyüh lü, upi a xünnak mkhyühki naw küikyanei khai.
34 On that night, I tell you, of two people on the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
“Ka ning jah mthehki, acuna mthan üng ihnak mat üng ipki xawia khyang nghngih, mat jäk se mat awm hüt khai.
35 of two women grinding grain together, one will be taken and the other left.’
“Ksum suki xawia nghnumi nghngih üngka mat jäk se mat awm hüt khai.
“Laia awmki xawi nghngih üngka, mat jäk se mat awm hüt khai,” a ti.
37 ‘Where will it be, Master?’ asked the disciples. ‘Where there is a body,’ said Jesus, ‘there will the vultures flock.’
Acunüng, axüisaw he naw, “Bawipa aw, hawia ni?” tia ami kthäh. Jesuh naw, “Akthia awmnak naküta nghmukse he ngcun khai he,” a ti.
