Luke 19
1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
Jesu loe Jeriko vangpui ah akun moe, to avang hoiah caeh poe.
2 There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a senior tax collector and a rich man.
Khenah, to avang ah Zakiah, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto oh, anih loe tamut cong kaminawk ukkung ah oh pongah, angraeng parai.
3 He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
Jesu loe mi maw, tito hnuk han a koeh; toe anih loe ahnaem daek pongah, kaminawk salak hoiah Jesu to hnu thai ai.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
Zakiah loe Jesu angzohhaih loklam hma ah cawnh moe, Jesu hnuk hanah thaiduet kung ah dawh.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house today.”
Jesu to ahmuen ah phak naah, a khet tahang, to naah Zakiah to a hnuk, anih khaeah, Zakiah, karangah, anghum tathuk ah; vaihniah na im ah ka toem han, tiah a naa.
6 So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
Zakiah loe karangah anghum tathuk moe, anghoehaih hoiah anih to toemsak.
7 On seeing this, everyone began to complain, “He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.”
Kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, Anih loe kami zae im ah toem han a caeh, tiah laisaep o thuih.
8 But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master, “Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give him back four times as much.”
Zakiah loe angdoet moe, Angraeng khaeah, Khenah, Angraeng, ka tawnh ih hmuen ahap kamtang kaminawk hanah ka paek; katoeng ai ah kaminawk ih hmuenmae ka lak pae nahaeloe, alet palito ka pathok han, tiah a naa.
9 “Salvation has come to this house today,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.
Jesu mah anih khaeah, Vaihniah hae imthung ah pahlonghaih phak boeh, anih doeh Abraham ih capa toeng ni.
10 The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.”
Kami Capa loe kanghmaa kami to pakrong moe, pahlong han ih ni angzoh, tiah a naa.
11 As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
Kaminawk mah a thuih ih loknawk to tahngaih pae o, Jerusalem a phak o tom boeh moe, kaminawk mah doeh Sithaw ukhaih prae to amtueng roep tih boeh, tiah poek o pongah, patahhaih lok to a thuih pae.
12 He said, “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.
Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng capa maeto loe siangpahrang ah oh han koeh pongah, amlaem let hanah kholong kangthla ah caeh.
13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
Anih mah a tamna hato kawk moe, nihcae hanah mina phoisa hato paek, nihcae khaeah, Kam laem let ai karoek to toksah o haih ah, tiah a naa.
14 But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our king.’
Toe angmah ih prae kaminawk mah anih to hnukma o, Hae kami loe kaicae ukkung ah ohsak han ka koeh o ai, tiah anih khaeah laicaeh patoeh o.
15 On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
Anih amlaem naah loe, prae ukkung ah a oh, to pacoengah kami maeto mah phoisa hoi toksak naah kamek nazetto maw hnuk o, tiah panoek thai hanah, phoisa a paek ih tamnanawk to angmah khaeah kawk.
16 The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’
Hmaloe koek kami loe angzoh moe, Angraeng, na phoisa loe alet hato pung, tiah a naa.
17 ‘Well done, good servant!’ exclaimed the master. ‘As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.’
Anih mah to kami khaeah, Tamna kahoih, tok na sak thaih: hmuen tetta nuiah oepthoh pongah, vangpui hato uk ah, tiah a naa.
18 When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’
Hnetto haih tamna loe angzoh moe, Angraeng, na phoisa alet pangato pung, tiah a naa.
19 So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’
Anih mah to kami khaeah doeh, Vangpui pangato uk hanah, to tiah a naa.
20 Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
Kalah tamna loe angzoh moe, Angraeng, khenah, na phoisa loe pavawh hoiah ka tapawk moe, ka suek sut:
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.’
nang loe kacip parai kami ah na oh pongah, kang zit: nang loe na suem ai ih ahmuen ah na lak moe, na patit ai ih ahmuen ah na aah, tiah a naa.
22 The master answered ‘Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
To naah Anih mah to kami khaeah, Nang tamna kasae, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah lok kang caek han. Kai loe kacip parai kami ah ka oh, ka suem ai ih ahmuen ah ka lak moe, ka patit ai ih ahmuen ah ka aah, tito na panoek tangak:
23 Then why didn’t you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
kang zoh let naah kangpung phoisa to ka lak hanah, tikhoe phoisa to phoisa athlaeng kami khaeah na suem ai loe? tiah a naa.
24 Take away from him the ten pounds,’ he said to those standing by, ‘and give them to the one who has the hundred.’
Anih mah a taengah angdoe kaminawk khaeah, Anih khae ih phoisa to la oh loe, phoisa hato tawn kami khaeah paek oh, tiah a naa.
25 ‘But, Sir,’ they said, ‘he has a hundred pounds already!’
(Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, anih loe phoisa hato tawnh boeh, tiah a naa o.)
26 ‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
Kang thuih o, Katawn kami hanah loe paek let bae vop tih; katawn ai kami loe, a tawnh ih hmuen mataeng doeh la pae ving tih, tiah a naa.
27 But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their king, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.’”
Toe ka ukhaih koeh ai ka misanawk to haeah hoi oh loe, nihcae to ka hmaa ah hum oh, tiah naa tih, tiah a thuih pae.
28 After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
Hae lokthuih pacoengah, anih Jerusalem ah caeh.
29 It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
Bethphage hoi Bethani vangpui to phak tom boeh moe, Olive tiah kawk ih mae to phak o naah, anih mah hnukbang kami hnik to patoeh,
30 “Go to the village facing us,” he said, “and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
nihnik khaeah, Na hma ih avang ah caeh hoih, avang thung na kun hoi naah, mi mah doeh angthueng vai ai, paeh ih laa hrang acaa to na hnu hoi tih: khram hoih loe laa hrang to haeah ze hoih.
31 And, if anybody asks you ‘Why are you untying it?’, you are to say this – ‘The Master wants it.’”
Mi kawbaktih mah doeh nang hnik khaeah, Tih han ih laa hrang to na khram hoi loe? tiah dueng nahaeloe, anih khaeah, Angraeng mah laa hrang angtoeng, tiah thui pae hoih, tiah a naa.
32 So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
Patoeh ih kami hnik loe caeh hoi naah, anih mah nihnik khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah a hnuk hoi.
33 While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them – “Why are you untying the foal?”
Laa hrang to a khram hoi li naah, tawnkung mah nihnik khaeah, Tih han ih laa hrang acaa to na khram hoi loe? tiah a naa.
34 And the two disciples answered – “The Master wants it.”
To naah nihnik mah, Angraeng mah laa hrang angtoeng, tiah a naa hoi.
35 Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus on it.
Nihnik mah laa hrang to Jesu khaeah zeh hoi pacoengah, nihcae mah laa hrang acaa nuiah kahni padap pae o moe, Jesus to a nuiah angthueng o sak.
36 As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
Anih caehhaih loklam ah, paroeai kaminawk mah angmacae ih kahni to baih o.
37 When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, everyone of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
Anih Olive mae tamthuk phak tom naah loe, a hnuk o ih dawnrai hmuenawk boih pongah pop parai a hnukbang kaminawk mah anghoehaih hoiah Sithaw ih ahmin to saphaw o;
38 “Blessed is He who comes – our king – in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory on high.”
Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah angzo Siangpahrang loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe: van prae ah angdaehhaih om nasoe, sang koek ah lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah a hang o.
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, restrain your disciples.”
Pop parai kaminawk salakah kaom thoemto Farasinawk mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang hnukbang kaminawk to thuitaek ah, tiah a naa o.
40 But Jesus answered, “I tell you that if they are silent, the stones will call out.”
Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kang thuih o, nihcae hang ai ah anghngai o duem nahaeloe, thlungnawk hae hang o roep tih, tiah a naa.
41 When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said,
Jesu loe Jerusalem phak tom boeh, anih mah vangpui to khet moe, qah haih,
42 “If only you had known, while yet there was time – even you – the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
nang vangpui, hae nangmah ih niah, nang han monghaih sinkung, na panoek nahaeloe hoi tih, toe vaihi loe na mik ah hmuennawk amtueng han ai ah hawk ving boeh.
43 For a time is coming when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
Na misanawk mah ahnuk ahma, ang takui o khoep moe, ahmuen kruekah ang ven o khoephaih atue to pha tih.
44 they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Nangmah hoi na caanawk to long ah va o tih, nang khaeah angzohhaih atue to na panoek ai pongah, nihcae mah na nuiah maeto pacoeng maeto kamhong thlung to anghmat o sak mak ai, tiah a naa.
45 Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
To pacoengah anih loe tempul thungah caeh moe, hmuenmae zawh moe, qan kaminawk to a haek.
46 saying as he did so, “Scripture says – ‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.”
Nihcae khaeah, Ka im loe lawkthuihaih im ah oh, tiah tarik ih oh: toe nangcae mah loe kamqunawk ohhaih ahmuen ah na sak o, tiah a naa.
47 Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the chief priests and teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leaders of the people.
Anih loe tempul thungah nithokkruek kaminawk to patuk. Toe kalen koek qaima, ca tarik kaminawk hoi kami zaehoikungnawk mah hum hanah anih to pakrong o,
48 Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung on his words.
toe a thuih ih lok to kaminawk boih mah tahngai o pongah, hum han atue kahoih hnu o thai ai.
