Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Trans-Trans ~ Luke Chapter 12

< Luke 12 >

1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].

Mipui isâng tamtak, inkhat le inkhat insirpolin Jisua an bôma. Jisua'n a ruoisingei kôma, “Pharisee asarotholngei chol renga singthei roi.

2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.

Jâttin ihîpa om la phong nîng a tih, a ipa om khom la phuongsuok nîng a tih.

3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”

Masikin, ajînga nin ti ngei hah sûn khovâra lân phuong nîng a ta, khâltan sûnga kuor kunga nin ti ngei hah inchunga chuongin tânghâi la nîng a tih,” a tipe ngeia.

4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].

Ka malngei nangni ki ril, ei takpum that suonûka, ite mi lo thei khâiloi chu chi no roi.

5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)

Tumo nin chiruo nangni ril ki tih. Thi nûk khoma, dûkmuna nangni pai theina rachamnei ani sikin, Pathien chi roi, ani, nangni ki ti, Ama vai chi roi. (Geenna g1067)

6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!

Invate rangnga poisa nikin an juor ngâi ni mak mo? Ania, Pathien'n chu inkhat te luo hah mingil ngâi mak.

7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].

Nin lu chunga nin samngei tena khom itelvar kêng. Masikin, chi no roi, invate tamtak nêkin nin lut uol.

8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.

“Nangni ki ril, tutu lôko rieta ni thop kai chu, Miriem Nâipasal khomin Pathien vântîrtonngei makunga thop a tih.

9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].

Tutu lôko rieta ni hengpai kaichu, Miriem Nâipasal khomin vântîrtonngei makunga hengpai a tih.

10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].

Tutu Miriem Nâipasal rilsiet chu ngâidam nîng a ta, Ratha Inthieng rilsiet chu ngâidam nino nih.”

11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,

“Hanchu, nin roi jêk rangin synagog mo, governor makunga mo, roijêkpungei makunga mo, nangni an tuong tikin, inmo ki thuon rang, imo ki ti rang, tiin nin mulung min jîng no roi.

12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”

Nin ti rang chu a zora tika Ratha Inthiengin nangni ril a tih.”

13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”

Mipui lâia mi inkhatin Jisua kôma, “Minchupu, Ka lâibungpa kôm, kin pa rochon mi mâk pe mi sem rangin tipe roh,” a tia.

14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”

Jisua'n a thuona, “Mala, nangni inik chungroi jêk rang le nin rochon sem rangin tumo roineina mi pêk?” a tia.

15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”

Hanchu, an rênga kôma, “Singthei roi, ôinangei murdi renga indîn thei roi, asikchu, rochon, neinangei hih miriem ringna abitak nimak, idôr khom nei resea,” a tipe ngei.

16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.

Male, Jisua'n hi chongmintêk hih a ril ngeia, “Mi aneipa inkhat hin a loia chimu tamtak a minvânga,

17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’

Inmo ko tho rang ani zoi, o, ka bu le bâl darna rang dôn khâi mu-ung hi,” tiin a mindona.

18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].

Hi anghin tho ki tih, ka sasier set ka ta, anêka lien uol sin ki tih, mahan ke neinun murdi dar ki tih.

19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’

Maleh, ka ratha kôma, “Ratha, kum tamtak rang neinun sa nu bûm zoi sikin, sâk inla nêk roh, ningbei riemin om roh tipe ki tih” a tia.

20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”

Ania, Pathien'n a kôma, “Amo, avien jân reng ni ringna aboi rang kêng ani zoi, hi neinun ni isuo ngei hih tuta rang tak mini?” a tipea.

21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”

Hanchu Jisua'n, “Pathien tieng nei loia, eini ta rang vaia rochon a bûm chu ha anga han nîng a tih” a tia.

22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.

Jisua'n a ruoisingei kôma, masikin nangni ki ti, nin taksa sâk nêk rang, nin sil nin bom rang nin kâng mindoi no roi.

23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]

Sâk nêk rang nêkin ringna alut uol, silbom rang nêkin takpum alut uol.

24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!

Invatengei en ta u, chimu khom tu mak ngei, bu khom ât mak ngei, sasier khom nei mak ngei, hankhoma Pathien'n a vâia, vangei nêkin nin lut uol ok.

25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]

Tumo a kângdoi sika a ringna a min sôt thei uola?

26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]

Ma ngeite luo nin tho thei loiin, imo neinun dang vângte nin kâng nin mindoi?

27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].

Ram pârngei en ta u, sin khom tho mak ngei, puon khom không mak ngei. Ania nangni ki ril, ma dôra anei, rêng Solomon luo han hi pârte hih phâk mak.

28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?

Pathien kêng loisûl puon minsil, sûl aviena oma nangtûka lungthua hâl rip rang. Nangni vâng chu, nangni minsil no ni mo? Nin taksônna achîn bah na!

29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.

Masikin nin sâk nin nêk rang mindonin nin kângmindoi no roi.

30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].

Jentailngeiin ma ang roi chu an mindon ngâi. Nin Pa'n nin inâng chu a riet let.

31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].

Manêkin a Rêngram mindon bak ungla hanchu ha neinunngei ha chu nangni pêng a tih.

32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].

“Chi no roi, lôm achînte ngei, nin Pa'n a Rêngram nangni pêk rang a nuom.

33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.

Nin neinun murdi zuor ungla, inrieng ngei pêk roi. Sumkok chettheiloia thun ungla, invâna achiem thei khâiloina ranga, inrungeiin an murûk thei khâiloina, rengên a siet thei khâiloina ranga ninta rangin rochon bûm roi.

34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”

No rochonngei omna kipa nu mulungrîl khom om tit a tih.

35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.

“Nin puon insilin, nin kong khitin, nin châti mochokin, tiklâi khomin intûng chienin om roi,

36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.

tîrlâm, an pu innei ruolhoi renga juong rang lei ngâk chien anghan. A juongleh, inkhâr a tôka mo-ong kelen rangin.

37 If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.

Tîrlâm, an pu juonga intûng chiena om ai juong mu chu mi satvur anni. Nang ki ril, a kong khit a ta, insung a ta, ngâk a tih.

38 [Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.

Jânchima mo, arkhuona mo, a juonga intûng chiena ai mu ngei chu mi satvur anni.

39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.

Mahih riettit roi, in pumapa'n inru hong rang riet senla chu a in minset no nih.

40 Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”

Masikin nangni khom intûng chienin om roi, nin tûng loi lâitakin Miriem Nâipasal juong a tih,” a tia.

41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”

Peter'n, “Pumapa, hi chongmintêk hih keini rang vai mo ni ti, mi murdi rang mo?” a tia.

42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].

Pumapa'n a thuona, “tîrlâm iem om avâr tak, a pûn a insûng a cherêla, tîrlâm dang ngei azora kipa, an sâk a sem pe ranga uliena ai be chu tumo nini?

43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.

a pu a honga, ha anga lei tho tîrlâm ai mu chu mi satvur ani.

44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].

Adiktakin nangni ki ril, ha tîrlâm tak hah a pun neinun enkolpun sin a tih.

45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.

Hannisenla ha tîrlâm han a mulungin, ku pu la juong vak no nih, tiin a tîrlâmpa ngei, a tîrlâmnu ngei jêm senla, sâkin nêkin lênrûi senla,

46 [If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.

Ha tîrlâm hah ân ningloi, ân tûngloi kârin, a pu juong a ta, tuk nôinek a ta, a iemloi ngei rangtum minchang a tih.

47 Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.

Tîrlâm a pu nuomlam riet chaka intûng loia, sin nuomloi chu na takin jêmpol nîng a tih.

48 But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”

Hannirese, riet loi sika, tôkmol sâkna rak tho minchâi chu jâmin jêm nîng a tih. Tutu atam an pêk kôma atam zong an ta, atam uol an ipêk kôma chu atam uol rok an tih.

49 “I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.

“Pilchung mei leh hâl ranga juong kini, atûn khom kâng kelen tarse ku nuom.

50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.

Baptisma ka chang ranga om hih, ânzoi mâka chu ki ning ânîp bah!

51 Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.

Rammuola inngeina min lêng ranga juongin mo mi nin tûng? Inngêina min lêng ranga juong ni mu unga, insenna min lêng ranga juong kêng kini.

52 Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].

Atûn renga insûngkuo inkhata mi rangnga insen an ta, inthum ngeiin inik ngei doi an ta, inik ngeiin inthum ngei doi an tih.

53 A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”

Pa ngeiin an nâingei, nâingeiin an pangei, nungeiin an nâinupangngei, nâinupangngeiin an nungei, tarpingeiin an moingei, moingeiin an tarpingei doi an tih,” a tia.

54 He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.

Jisua'n mipui ngei kôma khom, “Nitâk tieng sûm a jînga anîn chu ruo a juong rang kêng nin tia, juong khom a juong ngâi.

55 [In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.

Hanchu thînthi a hong sêma anîn chu alum rang kêng nin tia, alum khom alum ngâi.

56 You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!

Asarotholngei o! phil le invân nin ena, khuo om rang tie nin riet theia, ania, atûnlâi zora om tie ithomo nin riet thei loi?” a tia.

57 (Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]

“Ithomo nin theiin neinun dik sin rang nin mindon loi?

58 [If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.

Mîn roijêkmuna nang an kai rangin chu, ha mi lehhan roijêkmun tung mân inngêina sinpui roh, aninôn chu, roijêkpu makunga nang kai a ta, intâng ina nang khum an tih.

59 I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”

Nang ki ril, poisa apêkte luo ne pêk let mâka chu mahan om ni tih,” a tia.
