Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Cekcoengawh Bawipa ing ak chang thlang khqihkip coengawh pakkhih ce caksak nawh amah a cehnaak hly kawi khaw boeih awh lamma na tyi khqi hy.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
A mingmih a venawh, “Caang ah ham taw khawzah hlai, bibikung taw zawica hy. Lo khuiawh ce bibikung thlang khawzah a tyihnaak aham, loh toenkung Bawi a venawh thoeh lah uh.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Cet lah uh! Ngentang anglakawh tuu myihna ni tyih khqi nyng.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Tangka bawm awm sawngsa awm khawmyk awm koeh khyn uh; lam awh thlang nami huh awh awm koeh voem uh.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Ipkhui na nami lut awh, lamma cyk awh, 'Ve ipkhui awh ngaihdingnaak awm seh,' tina uh.
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Ngaihding capa a awm awhtaw naming ngaihdingnaak awi ak khanawh awm poe kaw; a ma awm awhtaw nangmih a venna voei law tlaih kaw.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Ce a ipkhui awh awm unawh taw, a mingmih ing ami peek saqui ce aw a ai uh, kawtih bibikung taw a bibi phu ce a huh ham tyng hy. Nami im pahnaak koeh chawt uh.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Khaw pynoet ak khuiawh nami lut awh nangmih ce a ni do khqi awhtaw, nangmih a haiawh ami toen law saqui ce ai uh.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’

10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Cehlai khaw pynoet ak khuina nami lut awh a mani do khqi awhtaw, lam hqang cet unawh taw,
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
'Nami khaw awhkaw dekvai ka khawpha awh ak kap awm namik khanawh nik khawk sih khqi nyng; cehlai Khawsa ram nami venawh pha law hawh hy tice sim kawm uk ti,' tikawm uk ti.
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, ce a khawnghi awh Sodom khaw taw ce a khaw anglakawh ana hawih khang bet kaw.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Korazin nang, khaw map hyk ti! Bethsaida nang, khaw map hyk ti! Kawtih nangmih ak khuiawh sai na ak awm kawpoek kyinaak ik-oeihkhqi ce Tura ingkaw Sidon khaw awh sai na ana awm mantaw, tlamhi byng doena vyt ak khan awh ngawi unawh syn deng awh ni a mi nang zut hly hawh hlai hy.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Awidengnaak khawnghi awh Tura ingkaw Sidon khaw ce nangmih anglakawh ana hawih khang bet kaw.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Ce, nang Kaperanuam, khan na na hak zoek qu hly tang nu? Kaw ce, hell na man na nung tlaak kaw. (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
U awm nangmih ak awi ak ngai taw kai ak awi ak ngai na awm hy; u awm nangmih a nik hoet khqi taw kai a nik hoet na awm hy; u awm kai a nik hoet cetaw kai a nik tyikung ce ak hoet na awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Thlang khqihkip coengawh pakkhih taw zeel doena voei law unawh, “Bawipa, qaaikhqi ingawm nang ming ak caming kaimih ak awi ngai uhy,” tina uhy.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Anih ing, “Khawphlamyihna khan nakawng Setan a nuk tla law ce hu nyng.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Nangmih a venawh khqui ingkaw cengta-ai leh thainaak ingkaw qaal ak thaawmnaak noeng thainaak ce ni pek khqi hawh nyng; ikaw ingawm nangmih ce amni tlawh sak khqi thai kaw.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Cehlai qaaikhqi ing nangmih ak awi ang ngai a dawngawh koeh zeel uh, khawk khan na nangmih ang ming qee na a awm hawh a dawngawh zeel bet uh,” tinak khqi hy.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”

22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”

23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Cekcoengawh a hubatkhqi benna mang nawh, “Nangmih ing nami huh ak hu taw a zoseen hy!
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”

25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Cawh anaa awi ak thoem thlang pynoet ing Jesu noek adak aham dyi nawh doet hy. “Cawngpyikung kumqui hqingnaak ka taaknaak aham ikaw ka sai kaw?” tina hy. (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Jesu ing, “Anaa awi awh ikaw a qee? ikawmyihna na noet naak?” tina hy.
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Anih ing ve myihna hlat pehy, 'Bawipa na Khawsa ce nak kawlung boeih, na hqingnaak boeih, nak thaawmnaak boeih, nak kawpoek boeih ing lungna kawp ti,' 'cekcoengawh, 'Na imceng ce namah a pum a myihna lungna lawt kawp ti' tihy,” tina hy.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Jesu ing, “Ak thymna nim hlat hyk ti ce; vemihkhqi ve sai lah, cawhtaw hqing kawp ti,” tina hy.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Cehlai cawhkaw thlang ing ak cang a ngaih a dawngawh Jesu ce doet hy, “Ka imceng ce a u nu?” tina hy.
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Jesu ing ak awi am hlatnaak aham vemyihna tina hy; “Thlang pynoet taw Jerusalem awhkawng Jeriko khaw na a nu ceh awh lam awh thlak chekhqi mi hqum qu uhy. A angki hinaak suh pe unawh ak thi tawna vyk unawh cehta uhy.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Cawh khawsoeih pynoet ce cawhkaw lam awh nu cet lawt hy, cawhkaw thlang ce a huh awh, ak cheng benna qei nawh cehta hy.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Cemyih bai lawtna, Levi thlang pynoet cawhkaw lam awh ce law bai hy, ce a hun ce pha law nawh thlang ce a huh awh qei nawh cehta bai hy.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Cehlai Samari thlang pynoet ce, ce ak thlang a awmnaak hun pha law hy, ce ak thlang a huh awh qeen nawh,
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.

35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”

36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”

37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Cawhkaw anaa awi ak thoem thlang ing, “Ak khan awh qeennaak ak ta thlang ce,” tina hy. Jesu ing, “Cet nawh cemyihna ce sai lawt,” tina hy.
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Lam ami ceh huili awh, vangca pynoet ce pha uhy, ce a khawk khuiawh kaw ak awm Marta ing anih ce a im awh pah sak hy.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Marta ing Meri ak mingnaak a na pynoet tahy, anih ingtaw Bawipa ak awih kqawn ce ngai aham a khawkung awh ngawih pehy.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Cehlai Marta taw buh an ang thaawng awh am hoeng hy. Cedawngawh Jesu a venna law nawh, “Bawipa, ka na ing kamah doeng bibi aham a ni hlah phlam ve kawna awm am nak poek hly nawh nu? Kai ani bawm aham kqawn pe lah,” tina hy.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Bawipa ing, “Marta, Marta ik-oeih khawzah nak poek aih awh ngaihsa hyk ti.
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
