< Mark 10 >

1 Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing ce a hun ce cehta nawh Jordan long caqai Judah qam benna cet hy. Cawh thlang kqeng ing a ven pan law tlaih bai uhy, a sai khawi amyihna cekkhqi ce cawngpyi khqi hy.
2 [While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
Farasi thlang vangkhqi ce law unawh noek a dak naakna awi doet uhy, “Thlang ing zu ak thlak ham ak thym hly nu?” tina uhy.
3 He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
Anih ing, “Mosi ing ikawk awi nu a na peek khqi?” tinawh doet khqi hy.
4 [One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
Cekkhqi ing, “Mosi ingtaw zu thlak thainaak caa qee nawh zu thlak thainaak pehy,” tina uhy.
5 Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
Jesu ing, “Na mik kawlung a hqam soeih a dawngawh cemyihna anaa awi a na qee mai ni.
6 [Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
Cehlai ak cyk caawh Khawsa ing pa ingkaw nu a na sai hy.
7 That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
Ve akawngawh pa ing a nu ingkaw a pa ce cehta nawh a zu tu lawm saw;
8 Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
pakhih ce pum pynoet na awm kawm nih,' tina hy. Cedawngawh pakkhih na am awm voel nih nawh, pumoet na awm hawh hy nih.
9 Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
Cedawngawh Khawsa ing a tawm ce hawh taw thlanghqing ing koeh hqe seh,” tinak khqi hy.
10 When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
Ipkhui na ami awm awh, ve akawng ve a hubatkhqi ing doet tlaih bai uhy.
11 He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
A mingmih a venawh, “U ingawm a zu ce thla nawh nuk chang ce a zu naak tlaih awhtaw a zu ak khanawh sam ak phaih ni.
12 [God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
Nu ingawm a va ma nawh thlak chang a va naak awhtaw anih awm sam ak phaih ni,” tinak khqi hy.
13 [One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
Jesu ing a bi hamna naasen cakhqi ce law pyi khqi uhy, cehlai a hubatkhqi ing kaa nak khqi uhy.
14 When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
Cehlai Jesu ing cece a huh awh, ak kaw am law nawh, a hubatkhqi venawh, “Naasen cakhqi ce ka venna law pyi khqi lah unawh, koeh hqek khqi uh, kawtih khan qam taw vemyihna ak awm thlangkhqi aham na ni.
15 Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u awm Khawsa ram ce naasen ca myihna amak do taw ityk awh awm ak khuina am lut tikaw,” tinak khqi hy.
16 Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
Naasenkhqi ce lo nawh ak pawn coengawh, a mingmih ak khan awh a kut tloeng nawh zoseennaak pek khqi hy.
17 As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Lam na a ceh awh, thlang pynoet ce a venna dawng law nawh a haiawh khuk sym doena, “Cawngpyikung leek, kumqui hqingnaak ka huhnaak thai ham ikaw ka sai hly?” tina hy. (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
Jesu ing, “Ikawtih 'leek hy' tinawh na nik khy? Khawsa doeng tikaa taw u awm am leek hy.
19 [But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
Awipeekkhqi sim tik sawkaw: 'Thlang koeh him, koeh samphaih, koeh qu, amak thym dyihthing na koeh dyi, thlang koeh qaai na, na nu ingkaw na pa kqihchah lah,' a tice,” tina hy.
20 The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
Anih ing, “Cawngpyikung, vekkhqi boeih ve ka naasen awhkawng ni ka sai hawh hy,” tina hy.
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
Jesu ing anih ce toek nawh lungna soeih nawh, “Ik-oeih pynoet voet hyn hy,” tina hy. “Cet nawh na kawhthemkhqi boeih ce zawi nawh khawdeng hahqahkhqi ce pe, cawhtaw khawk khanna qo ta kawp ti; cekcoengawh law nawh ka hu awh bat law,” tina hy.
22 The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
Cehlai a hai ta malh nawh, ik-oeih khawzah a taak a dawngawh kawseet doena valh tlaih hy.
23 Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
Jesu ing hawi ang mang nawh, a hubatkhqi venawh “Bawikhqi ing Khawsa ram awh a luhnaak aham kyi soeih mah hy!” tina hy.
24 The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
Ak awih kqawnnaak awh a hubatkhqi taw aming ngaih na kyi hy. Cehlai Jesu ing, “Naasenkhqi, boei ak ypnaak thlangkhqi ham Khawsa qam khuiawh lut ve kyi soeih mah hy.
25 It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Bawi ak thlang ing Khawsa ram khuiawh a lut anglakawh Kalauk ing kqym ak khuiawh a lut zoei bet hy,” tinak khqi hy.
26 The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
A hubatkhqi ce amik kawpoek kyi khqoet nawh, “Cawhtaw u nu hul na ak awm hly hy voei?” ti uhy.
27 Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
Jesu ing a mingmih ce toek khqi nawh, “Thlanghqing aham taw am coeng thai hy, cehlai Khawsa ham taw ik-oeih boeih boeih ve coeng thai hy,” tina hy.
28 Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
Piter ing, “Kaimih ing ik-oeih boeih boeih cehta unawh na hu ka ming bat law ve!” tinawh doet hy.
29 Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
Jesu ing, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm kai ingkaw awithang leek ak caming a im a lo, a koeinaa, a koeinanu, a nu apa, a canaakhqi ingkaw a lokhqi a cehtaak awhtaw
30 will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
tuh a khuk qoe awh a pyh zakhat dyna (imkhqi, a koeinaakhqi, a koeinukhqi, a nu a pakhqi, a canaakhqi ingkaw a lokhqi - cekkhqi ingkaw thekhanaakkhqi) ingkaw ak law hly a khuk awh, kumqui hqingnaak ce hu kaw. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
Cehlai ak maakhqi ce huu khyng kawm usaw huu ak khyngkhqi ce maa lat kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
32 [Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
Jerusalem benna ami hang ceh awh, Jesu taw a mingmih a haiawh lamma na cet hy, cawh a hubatkhqi taw amik kawpoek kyi hy. Thlanghqa hlaihih tloek ce ak chang na cehpyi nawh ak khan awh ik-oeih ak pha law hly ce kqawn pek khqi hy.
33 “Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
“Tuh Jerusalem na ni hang cet kawm usaw, thlanghqing Capa ve khawsawih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi kut awh peekna awm kaw. A mingmih ing thih hamna ak khanawh awi tluuk sak kawm usaw Gentelkhqi kut awh pe kawm uh,
34 Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
Cekkhqi ing anih ce the a kha na kawm usaw him kawm uh. Cehlai am thum nyn awh tho tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
35 [Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
Zebedi a caqawi, Jakob ingkaw Johan ce a venna law hy nih. Cekkqawi ing, “Cawngpyikung, ka ni thoeh law a hoei boeih ve na sai hamna ngaih hlai nih nyng,” tina hy nih.
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Anih ing, “Ikaw sai sak ham nu nani ngaih?” tinak kqawi hy.
37 They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
Cekkqawi ing, “Na boeimangnaak khuina na awm awh pynoet tang benna pynoet cawng benna na ning ngawih sak qawi aham ngaih nih nyng,” tina hy nih.
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
Cawh Jesu ing, “Ik-oeih nani thoeh ve am sim hy nik ti. Ka aawk hly kawi boet ve nami aw hly thai nawh nu? Baptisma ka huh hly kawi ve nani hu hly thai nawh nu?” tina qawi hy.
39 They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
Cekkqawi ing, “Oeih, hu thai lawt kawng nih nyng,” tina hy nih. Jesu ing, “Kai ing ka aawk hly kawi boet ce aw thai kawm nih tiksaw ka huh hly kawi baptisma awm hu thai kawm nik ti,
40 But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
Cehlai kak tang ben ingkaw kak cawng benawh ngawih thainaak taw kai ak cam amni, a hoep peek ak thlangkhqi ham ni,” tina qawi hy.
41 The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
Ce ak awi ce thlanghqa tloek ing aming zaak awh Jakob ingkaw Johan ak khan awh amik kaw am law hy.
42 Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
Jesu ing a mingmih ce kutoet na khy khqi nawh, “Gentel ukkungkhqi ing a mimah Gentelkhqi ak khan awh boeina ami awm ce sim u hyk ti, dyih hun ak sang na ak awmkhqi ing a mingmih ce a ngaihnaak a myihna uk uhy.
43 But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
Cehlai nangmih taw cemyihna am awm kawm uk ti. Nangmih anglakawh u ingawm ak bau khyt na awm a ngaih awhtaw nangmih a tyihzoeih na awm seh.
44 Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
U awm lamma na awm ak ngaih ingtaw nangmih boeih a tamnaa na awm seh.
45 [You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
Ikawtih thlanghqing Capa ing za thlang bibi sak aham am law nawh, thlang a bi ak bi ham ni a law, thlang khawzah hulnaak aham a hqingnaak ak pe aham nani a law,” tinak khqi hy.
46 [On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
Cekcoengawh Jeriko khaw na ce pha uhy. Jesu ing a hubatkhqi, thlang kqeng mi khawk bau awhkawng ami ceh hui awh, mikhyp pynoet, Timai a capa, Bertimai ak mingnaak, taw lam keng awh ngawi nawh a kut dun hy.
47 When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
Nazareth khaw awhkaw Jesu ni ak cet tice ang zaak awh, “David Capa, Jesu, kai nim qeen lah!” tinawh khy hy.
48 Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
Thlangkhqi ing awm dym aham zyi uhy, cehlai anih ing, “David Capa kai nim qeen lah!” tinawh khy hy.
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
Jesu ing dyi nawh, “Anih ce khy lah uh,” tinak khqi hy. Cedawngawh cawhkaw mikhyp ce khy uhy, “Nang ngaih qep sak nawh dyi lah, nik khy nyng,” tina hy.
50 He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
Anih ing a hi ce khawng nawh ang peh doena Jesu a venna cet hy.
51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
Jesu ing, “Nak khanawh ikaw sai pek ham na ngaih?” tina hy. Cawh, mikhyp ing a venawh, “Rabboni, huh thai ngaih hy nyng,” tina hy.
52 Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
Jesu ing a venawh, “Cet hlah, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy,” tina hy. Bawtbet awh amik ce dai nawh Jesu a hu awh bat pahoei hy.
