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!
Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Kaminawk zaehaih sahsak hmuen to om tih: toe zaehaih omsak kami loe khosak bing!
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.
Hae ih nawktanawk thungah nawkta maeto zaehaih sahsak kami loe, tahnong ah cangkaehhaih thlung to a oihsak moe, tuipui thungah vah nahaeloe anih han hoi kue tih.
3 Be on your guard! If your brother or sister does wrong, rebuke them; but if they repent, forgive them.
Nangcae loe acoe oh: nam nawkamya mah na nuiah sethaih sah nahaeloe, anih to thuitaek ah; dawnpakhuem nahaeloe, anih to tahmen ah.
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.’
Anih mah nito naah na nuiah vai sarihto zaehaih sak, toe nito naah vai sarihto nangcae khaeah angzoh moe, Ka dawnpakhuem boeh, tiah thui nahaeloe, anih to tahmen ah, tiah a naa.
5 ‘Give us more faith,’ said the apostles to the Master;
Patoeh ih kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah, Kaicae tanghaih qoengsak ah, tiah a naa o.
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.
Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah, Antam mu tetto mah tanghaih na tawnh o nahaeloe, hae thaiduet kung khaeah, Tangzuun hoi nawnto angphongh duk ah loe, tuipui ah angthling ah, tiah na naa o nahaeloe, na thuih o ih lok to tahngai tih.
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,”
Nangcae thung ih kami maeto loe long atok tamna maw, to tih ai boeh loe maitaw toep tamna maeto a tawnh, tamna maeto lawk hoi amlaem naah, Caeh ah, anghnu ah loe, buh to caa ah, tiah na naa roep tih maw?
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”?
Tamna khaeah, Ka caak hanah buh na thoe paeh, kaengkaeh to angzaeng ah loe, ka caa boih ai karoek to na toep ah; to pacoengah na caa ueloe, na nae tih hmang, tiah na naa mak ai maw?
9 Does he feel grateful to his servant for doing what he is told?
Na thuih ih sak han koi hmuen to a sak pongah, anih mah tamna khaeah kawnhaih lok thui tih maw? Thui tih, tiah ka poek ai.
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.”’
To baktih toengah nangcae mah, sak han ang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah hmuen na sak o boih pacoengah, Kaicae loe amekhaih pakrong tamna na ai ni: ka sak o han koi tok to ka sak o boih boeh, tiah thui oh, tiah a naa.
11 On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed between Samaria and Galilee.
Anih loe Samaria hoi Kalili prae thung hoiah Jerusalem ah caeh.
12 As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
Anih avang maeto thungah akun naah, ngansae man kami hato anih khae angzoh hanah, kangthla ah angdoet o:
13 Standing still, some distance off, they called out loudly, ‘Jesus! Sir! Pity us!’
nihcae mah, Jesu, Angraeng, kaicae nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh, tiah tha hoi a hangh o.
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.
Nihcae to a hnuk naah, nihcae khaeah, Caeh oh loe qaima khaeah na takpum to patuek oh, tiah a naa. Nihcae caeh o naah, ngansae to ciim boih.
15 One of them, finding he was cured, came back, praising God loudly,
Nihcae thung ih maeto mah ngansae ciim boeh, tiah a hnuk naah, amlaem let moe, tha hoi Sithaw to pakoeh,
16 and threw himself on his face at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done; and this man was a Samaritan.
Jesu khokkung ah tabok moe, kawnhaih lok a thuih: anih loe Samaritan kami ah oh.
17 ‘Were not all the ten made clean? exclaimed Jesus. But the nine – where are they?
Jesu mah kami hato ngantui o boih na ai maw? Takawtto kaminawk loe naa ah maw oh o?
18 Were there none to come back and praise God except this foreigner?
Hae acaeng kalah kami khue ai ah loe, Sithaw pakoeh han amlaem let kami om o ai maw? tiah a naa.
19 Get up,’ he said to him, ‘and go on your way. Your faith has delivered you.’
Anih mah to kami khaeah, Angthawk ah loe, caeh laih: na tanghaih mah ang hoisak boeh, tiah a naa.
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,
Farasi kaminawk angzoh o moe, anih khaeah Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe natuek naah maw angzo tih, tiah a dueng o; anih mah nihcae khaeah, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe nangcae mikhnuk ah angzo mak ai:
21 nor will people say “Look, here it is!” or “There it is!”; for the kingdom of God is within you!
khenah, Haeah khen oh, to tih ai boeh loe hoah khen oh, tiah mi mah doeh thui thai mak ai, tahngai oh, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe nangcae palung thungah ni oh, tiah a naa.
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.
Anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Kami Capa ih ni hnuk koehhaih ani to pha tih, toe na hnu o mak ai.
23 People will say to you “There he is!” Or “Here he is!” Do not go and follow them.
Kaminawk mah nangcae khaeah, Haeah khen oh, to tih ai boeh loe hoah khen oh, tiah na naa o tih; to naah nihcae hnukah caeh o hmah, nihcae hnukah doeh bang o hmah.
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.
Aanghaih mah, van maeto bang hoi van maeto bang khoek to toeh phaeng baktih toengah, Kami capa doeh Angmah ih niah loe to tiah om tih.
25 But first he must undergo much suffering, and he must be rejected by the present generation.
Toe anih loe paroeai patangkhang hmaloe tih, hae dung ih kaminawk mah anih to pahnawt o tih.
26 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.
Noah dung ah kaom hmuen baktih toengah, Kami Capa ih niah doeh om tih.
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.
Noah palong thungah akun karoek to, kaminawk loe naek caak o, zu lak o moe, imthong krak o, to naah tui kalen phak thuih moe, kaminawk to uem king.
28 So, too, in the days of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
Lot dung naah doeh to tiah oh; kaminawk loe caak o, naek o, hmuenmae qan o moe, a zawh o, patit o moe, im doeh a sak o;
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.
toe Lot mah Sodom vangpui tacawt taak ni roe ah van bang hoiah kaat hmai hoi kangbaeh kho to angzoh moe, kaminawk to amrosak boih.
30 It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.
Kami Capa angphonghaih niah doeh to tiah om tih.
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.
To na ni phak naah, imphu ah kaom kami mah angmah ih hmuen lak hanah, imthung ah anghum tathuk hmah nasoe: lawk ah kaom kami doeh hmuen lak hanah im ah amlaem hmah nasoe.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Lot ih zu to poek oh.
33 Whoever is eager to get the most out of their life will lose it; but whoever will lose it will preserve it.
Mi kawbaktih doeh a hinghaih pahlong han pakrong kami loe, a hinghaih to pathlong tih; mi kawbaktih doeh a hinghaih pathlong kami loe, hinghaih to hnu tih.
34 On that night, I tell you, of two people on the same bed, one will be taken and the other left;
Kang thuih o, to naduem ah loe iihkhun maeto nuiah kami hnetto om hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, maeto loe caehtaak sut tih.
35 of two women grinding grain together, one will be taken and the other left.’
Nongpata hnik loe nawnto cang daeng hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, kalah maeto loe caehtaak sut tih.
Lawk ah kami hnetto om hoi tih; maeto loe la ving ueloe, kalah maeto loe caehtaak sut tih, tiah a naa.
37 ‘Where will it be, Master?’ asked the disciples. ‘Where there is a body,’ said Jesus, ‘there will the vultures flock.’
Nihcae mah Anih khaeah, Angraeng, to hmuen loe naa ah maw om tih? tiah a dueng o. To pongah anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kadueh qok ohhaih ahmuen ah tahmu prawnnawk nawnto angpop o tih, tiah a naa.
