Luke 9
1 Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, as well as to cure diseases.
Jesus in a nungzui sawmleni te sia munkhat ah sam a, doai ngilo theampo tung ah ahizong, natna te damsak tu in ahizong, a vanglian thuneina pia hi.
2 He sent them out as his messengers, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to work cures.
Tabang in Pathian kumpingam thuhil tu le cina te damsak tu in paisak hi.
3 ‘Do not,’ he said to them, ‘take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Na khualhaw natu uh in bangma keng heak vun, ciangkhut ahizong, thung a hizing, anluum ahizong, dangka ahizong; puansil ni ahizong in keng heak vun.
4 Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.
Koibang innsung ah na tum uh zong in, mundang na pai kik uh mateng tua inn ah tam nginge vun.
5 If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.’
Khat po note hong sang ngawl te sia, tua khua pan na pusua uh ciang in, na peang uh tung ah leivui te thin vun a, tate sia amate langpang in tetti te hi tu hi, ci hi.
6 Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the good news and curing people everywhere.
A nungzui te pai uh a, khuapi khat zawkciang khat pai in lungdamna thupha tangko uh hi, taciang mun theampo ah cina te damsak hi.
7 Herod the ruler heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.
Ngam uk Herod in Jesus na vawt te a zak ciang in, thin ngim mama in om uh hi, banghangziam cile pawlkhat te in John hong thokik hi, ci uh hi.
8 Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
Mi pawlkhat te in, Elijah hong kilang zo hi; ci uh a, taciang ngualdang te in nidanglai kamsang te khat papo thokik hi, ci uh hi.
9 But Herod himself said, ‘John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?’ And he endeavoured to see him.
Herod in John i ngawng ka tan sa hi: ahihang hibang thu ka zak sia a kua ziam? ci a, mu nuam mama hi.
10 When the apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus went privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the apostles with him.
Sawltakte hong cia kik uh ciang in, amate vawt theampo Jesus tung ah son uh hi. Jesus in amate sia senneal om na mun Bethsaida ngamsung ah a tuam in paipui hi.
11 But the people recognised him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.
Taciang mipi te in a heak uh ciang in, zui uh a, Jesus in amate sang uh hi, taciang Pathian kumpingam thuhil uh a, damna a kisam te damsak uh hi.
12 The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said, ‘Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here.’
Ni tum tu kuan ciang in, nungzui sawmleni te Jesus kung ah hongpai uh a, mihonpi te khuapi sung le a kiimkot ngam tatuam ah pai in, ngia natu mun le an zong tu in paisak in: banghangziam cile eite senneal ngam ah i om hi, ci uh hi.
13 But Jesus said, ‘It is for you to give them something to eat.’ ‘We have not more than five loaves and two fish,’ they answered. ‘Unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people.’
Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Note in amate neak tu pia vun, ci hi. Amate in, hi mihing theampo atu pai in an lei ngawl in hileang, anluum nga le ngasa ni simngawl bangma i nei bua hi; ci uh hi.
14 (For the men among them were about five thousand.) ‘Get them seated in companies,’ was his reply, ‘about fifty in each.’
Banghangziam cile amate sia pasal bebek tul nga kiim pha uh hi. Jesus in nungzui te tung ah, Amate sawm nga, sawm nga pawl in tosak vun, ci hi.
15 This they did, and got all the people seated.
Tabang in a nungzui te in a sonbang in vawt uh a, a vekpi in tosak uh hi.
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
Taciang Jesus in anluum nga le ngasa ni la a, vanlam en in thupha a piak zawkciang, phel a, mihonpi hawm tu in nungzui te kung ah pia hi.
17 Everyone had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up – twelve baskets.
A vekpi khamtak in a neak tek zawk uh ciang in, a neakmong a val teng tawm uh a, bawm sawm le bawm ni dim hi.
18 Afterwards, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question – ‘Who do the people say that I am?’
Jesus ama nguak thu a nget laitak in, a nungzui te a kung ah om uh hi: taciang amate tung ah, Ngual in keima kua hong ci uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
19 ‘John the Baptist,’ was their answer. ‘Others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.’
Amate in, tuiphumpa John; ahihang pawlkhat te in Elijah; hong ci uh hi, a dang pawlkhat te in, nidang lai kamsang khatpo hong thokik hi, hong ci uh hi, ci in zo uh hi.
20 ‘But you,’ he went on, ‘who do you say that I am?’ And to this Peter answered, ‘The Christ of God.’
Jesus in amate tung ah, Ahizong note in kua nong ci uh ziam? ci in a dok ciang in, Peter in, Pathian i Christ na hihi, ci in zo hi.
21 Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to anyone;
Taciang Jesus in tua thu kuama tung son ngawl tu in thupia a, a khotak in amate vaitha hi;
22 he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
Mihing Tapa in tam mama thuak hamtang tu hi, taciang upa te, thiampi lian te le thukhamhil te in nial tu uh a, that tu uh hi, taciang nithum a cin ciang in thokik tu hi, ci hi.
23 And to all present he said, ‘If any one wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, and take up their cross daily, and follow me.
Jesus in a vekpi tung ah, A kuamapo ka nung hong zui nuam le, ama le ama ki nial hen a, ama thinglamte nisim pua in, hong zui tahen.
24 For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life – that person will save it.
Banghangziam cile a kuamapo in, ama nuntakna a ngum nuam peuma sum tu a: ahihang keima atu in, a nuntakna a sum peuma nungta tu hi.
25 What good does it do someone if, when they has gained the whole world, they has lost or forfeited themselves?
Mihing khat in leitung buppi a nei hial zong, ama nuntakna sum in bo hile, bang phattuamna om tu ziam?
26 Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them, when he comes in his glory and the glory of the father and of the holy angels.
Banghangziam cile, khatpo in keima le ka thu atu in a maizum le, mihing Tapa sia Ama, Pa le a thiangtho vantungmi te minthanna taw hongpai ciang in, mihing Tapa in zong ama atu maizum pui veve tu hi.
27 Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, until they have seen the kingdom of God.’
Ahihang, a mantak in kong ci ciang, hisung mun ah a ding pawlkhat te, Pathian kumpingam a mu uh mateng, thina tep tha ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
28 About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.
Hi thu te a son zawk ni liat ni ciang in, Peter, John le James te sam a, thungen tu in mualtung ah kato tek uh hi.
29 As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
Thu a nget laitak in, Jesus a maitang meal kikheal a a puan te taang in te liang hi.
30 And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,
Taciang, en vun, mi ni in paupui hi, tuate sia Moses le Elijah te a hi uh hi:
31 who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.
Amate sia vangletna taw kilang a, Jerusalem ah a thi natu le a nasep a khuangkhim na tu thu son uh hi.
32 Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside him.
Ahihang Peter le a kung a omte sia mutnuam mama uh a: a khuaphaw kik uhciang in, Jesus vangletna le a dinpui mi ni te mu uh hi.
33 And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed, ‘Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what he was saying;
Amate Jesus kung pan a pai zawk uh ciang in, Peter in Jesus kung ah, Topa, hi mun ah om leang pha hi: buk thum sa tawng; khat nangma atu, khat Moses atu, khat Elijah atu, ci hi: Peter in bang son ci zong tel ngawl hi.
34 and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;
Tabang a pau laitak in, meingo in amate tuam a: meingo sung a tum ciang in amate lau mama uh hi.
35 and from the cloud came a voice which said – ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.’
Taciang meingo sung pan in aw khat in, hisia in ka it mama ka Tapa hi: a thu ni vun, ci hi.
36 And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.
Tua aw nging a bo ciang in, Jesus ama nguak bek mu uh hi. Taciang amate in phualseal uh a, a mu uh thu te kuama tung a son bua uh hi.
37 The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.
A zingciang, amate mualtung pan a tuaksuk uh ciang in, mi tam mama in Jesus muak uh hi.
38 And just then a man in the crowd shouted out, ‘Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;
Taciang, en vun, mipi sung pan in mikhat au a, Syapa awng, ka tapa hong etsak kapo in: banghangziam cile ama sia ka neisun ka tapa hi, ci hi.
39 all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions until he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.
Taciang, en in, doai in man a, upmawk ngawlbul in au hi; taciang puksak a, a kam pan cilphuan te pusuak za dong in, vawtsia a, pusuak kik vacit nuam ngawl hi.
40 I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.’
Na nungzui te i hawlkhiatsak tu in ka nget hang; hawlkhia zo ngawl uh hi, ci hi.
41 ‘Faithless and perverse generation!’ Jesus exclaimed, ‘How long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.’
Jesus in, Maw! upna nei ngawl le lamkhial te, banghun dong note taw hong om khawm tu khi ziam? banghun dong hong maisak lai tu khi ziam? Na tapa ka kung paipui tan, ci in zo hi.
42 While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Tabang in Jesus kung ah patangno hong paipui ciang, doai ngilo in puksak a, a thangui ki kaikinsak hi. Jesus in doai ngilo tei a, patang pa damsak hi, taciang a pa kung ah ap kik hi.
43 And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,
Amate a vekpi in Pathian i vangletna lian sia lamdangsa tek mama uh hi. Ahihang amate in Jesus vawt te theampo te lamdang asak mama uh laitak in, Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah,
44 ‘Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.’
Hi ka thuhil te na bilsung uh ah tum tahen: banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia mihing te khutsung ah ap tu hi, ci hi.
45 But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.
Ahizong a nungzui te in Jesus thuhil te a tel bua uh hi, amate kung pan in ki phualseal ahikom a tel bua uh hi: taciang a sonte zong a dong ngam bua uh hi.
46 A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;
Tua zawkciang in, a nungzui te sia amate laklaw ah, a kua lianbel tu, ci ngaisun tek uh hi.
47 and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,
Jesus in amate thinsung ngaisutna a heak ciang in, patang khat la a, a kung ah koi hi,
48 and then said to them, ‘Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger. For whoever is least among you all – that person is great.’
Amate tung ah, Khatpo in, ka min taw hi patangno a sang peuma keima hong sang a hihi: keima hong sang peuma in keima hong sawlpa a sang a hihi: banghangziam cile note sung ah, a nobel sia a lian hi tu hi, ci hi.
49 John said, ‘Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.’
John in, Topa awng, na min taw doai ngilo te hawlkhia khat ka mu uh a; tho khu hi, banghangziam cile kote taw hong kithawl ngawl hang hi, ci hi.
50 ‘None of you must prevent him,’ Jesus said to John, ‘whoever is not against you is for you.’
Jesus in, Tho heak vun: banghangziam cile hong langpan ngawl peuma hong hu a hihi, ci hi.
51 As the days before his being taken up to heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
Jesus sia van a ka tu hun hong nai ciang in, Jerusalem pai tu in a maitang khosak mama hi.
52 On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
A mai ah kamtai paisak khol a, amate pai hi, taciang Ama atu kinging tu in Samaria khua khat ah tum hi.
53 but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.
Ahihang tua khuasung mite in a sang bua uh hi, banghangziam cile a mai sia Jerusalem ah pai tu bang in a om hang a hihi.
54 When James and John saw this, they said, ‘Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?’
Hi thu a nungzui te James le John in a mu uh ciang in, Topa, Elijah in a vawt bang in, van pan in mei tak suk a, amate kangsiatsak tu in thu ka piak tu uh nong oai ziam? ci uh hi.
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
Ahihang Jesus ki hei in, amate tei hi, Bangbang thaa nei nu ziam ci zong he ngawl nu hi.
56 And they made their way to another village.
Banghangziam cile mihing Tapa sia mihing te nuntakna lalsak tu in hongpai ngawl hi, ahihang ngum tu in hongpai hi, ci hi.
57 And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’
Amate lampi ah a pai uh laitak in, mi khat in, Topa, na pai na mun theampo ah hong zui tu khi hi, ci hi.
58 ‘Foxes have holes,’ he replied, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
Taciang Jesus in ama tung ah, Ngia te in kua nei a, van a vacim te in bu nei hi; ahihang mihing Tapa in a lu ngakna tu zong nei ngawl hi, ci hi.
59 To another man Jesus said, ‘Follow me.’ ‘Let me first go and bury my father,’ said the man.
Taciang a dang khat tung ah Jesus in, Hong zui tan, ci hi. Ahihang ama in, Topa awng, pai in ka pa hong vuisak phot tan, ci hi.
60 But Jesus said, ‘Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the kingdom of God.’
Jesus in ama tung ah, Mithi te sia mithi te in vui tahen: ahihang nang na hile pai in a, Pathian kumpingam thuhil in, ci hi.
61 ‘Master,’ said another, ‘I will follow you; but first let me say goodbye to my family.’
Midang khat in, Topa awng, hong zui tu khi hi; ahihang ka inn ah pai in, innkuanpui te nukset in vaitha masa phot tu khi hi, ci hi.
62 But Jesus answered, ‘No one who looks back, after putting their hand to the plough, is fitted for the kingdom of God.’
Jesus in ama tung ah, A kuamapo nungsang en in lo a tho peuma, Pathian kumpingam atu in man na om ngawl hi, ci hi.
