Luke 13
1 Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
Cawh, ce nyn awh thlang vang law unawh, cekkhqi ing Galili qam thlang, Pilat ing thi, ami Khawsa bawknaak awh khqin himnaak awh a pa sak khqi awithang ce Jesu theen uhy.
2 “Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
Jesu ing, “Cawhkaw Kalili thlangkhqi ce ak chang Kalili thlang khqi anglakawh ami thawlh bet dawngawh ni cemyihna ami zawk hy, tinawh namik poek nawh nu?
3 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cekkhqi ce am thawlh bet uhy! Cehlai nangmih awm am naming zut awhtaw, plawci lawt kawm uk ti.
4 Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
Am awhtaw, Siloam ip sang ang tluk awh thlang hlaihkqet a kyih qen ce, Jerusalem awhkaw thlang khqing lak awh ami thawlh bet dawngawh vani hy voei tinawh namik poek nawh nu?
5 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cekkhqi ce am thawlh bet uhy! Cehlai nangmih awm am naming zut awhtaw plawci lawt kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
6 And Jesus told them this parable — “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
Cekcoengawh vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pehy: “Thlang pynoet ing a misur dum khuiawh thai thing ce ling hy. Hypoet awhtaw thai ak thaih ce bit aham cet moe seinu, ak thaih pynoet ca awm am hu hy.
7 So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
Cedawngawh misur dum ak qehkung a venawh cet nawh, ‘kup thum khuiawh thai qah bih aham law hawh hlai nyng ak thaih pynoet awm am hu nyng. Hlu mai hlah! Dek ak kang qung,’ tina hy.
8 ‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘till I have dug round it and manured it.
Misur dum ak qehkung ing, “Bawipa, kum oet taw ta mai cang, a kengsamkhqi cawh pe nyng seitaw, dek ak leek ing vyih cang vang nyng.
9 Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
Cawhkawng a kum voel awh a qah awhtaw nep bit kaw! Cehlai ama qah bai vik awhtaw hlu dam bit kawp ti,’ tina hy,” tinak khqi hy.
10 Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the Synagogues,
Sabbath nyn hypoet awh Jesu ing sinakawk pynoet ak khuiawh thlang cawngpyi hy,
11 and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
cawh kum hlaihkhqet ak khawn nu pynoet ce cawh awm hy. Am ting khun qapsat nawh am dyng na am dyi thai hy.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
Jesu ing cawhkaw nu ce a huh awh, hai na khy nawh, “Nang nu, thawlhnaak awhkawng loet hawh hyk ti,” tina hy.
13 He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
Ak khan awh a kut tloeng pehy, cawh cawhkaw nu ce am dyng na dyi pahoei nawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy.
14 But the President of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, interposed and said to the people: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
Sabbath nyn awh Jesu ing thlak tlo a qoei sak dawngawh, sinakawk ukkung ce kawso doena thlang kqeng a venawh, “Bibinaak aham khaw kquk nyn awm hy. Cawh law unawh taw nami tlawhnaakkhqi ce qoei sak uh, Sabbath nyn awhtaw koeh qoei sak uh,” tina hy.
15 “You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not every one of you let his ox or his ass loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
Bawipa ing cawhkaw sinakawk ukkung a venawh, “Nangmih thlak thaikhqi! Nangmih ing Sabbath nyn awh nami vaitaw mai aw, am awhtaw meqang mai aw a qui hlam pe unawh tui am nami awk sak nawh nu?
16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
Cawhtaw vawhkaw nu, Abraham a canu pynoet na ak awm, qaai ing khaw kum hqa hlaihkhqet khuiawh a pin ce Sabbath nyn awh amni hlam pe hly unawh nu? tinak khqi hy.
17 As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
Ve ak awi ak kqawn awh, a qaalkhqi boeih taw chak uhy, cehlai anih a ik-oeih sainaak awh ce thlangkhqi taw zeel uhy.
18 So Jesus said: “What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what can I liken it?
Jesu ing vemyihna doet hy, “Khawsa qam ve ikaw ing nu a ning myih hy voei? Ikawng nu ka nyhtah lah voei?
19 It is like a mustard-seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and ‘the wild birds roosted in its branches.’”
Khawsa qam taw thlang ing antlam cii lo nawh dum khuiawh ak theh ing myih hy. Cawhkaw antlam cii ce cawt nawh a thing na dyi law hy, khan nakaw phakhqi law unawh a pang awh ce ngawi uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
20 And again Jesus said: “To what can I liken the Kingdom of God?
Cekcoengawh vemyihna doet tlaih bai hy, “Ikawng nu Khawsa qam ve ka nyhtah lah voei?
21 It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
Khawsa qam taw nu ing vaidam dawn khuih thum ak khuiawh hen a zamnaak boeih aham a phul ing myih hy,” tinak khqi hy.
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing Jerusalem na a ceh awh khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi awh ce thlang cawngpyi noe noe hy.
23 “Master,” some one asked, “are there but few in the path of Salvation?” And Jesus answered:
Thlang pynoet ing “Bawipa, thlang a khoehca doeng ing nu thawngnaak a huh kaw?” tinawh doet hy.
24 “Strive to go in by the small door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
Cekkhqi venawh, “Chawmkeng ak ceek khuiawh kun ngah ngah lah uh, kawtih thlang khawzah ing kun aham tha lo hly hlai uhy am kun thai kawm uh.
25 when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be — ‘I do not know where you come from.’
Imkung ing tho nawh chawh ce a khaih coengawh taw, a leng na dyi kawm utik saw chawh ce khoek kawm uk ti, ‘Bawipa chawh awng law lah,’ tina kawm uk ti. “Cehlai anih ing, ‘Amni sim khqi nyng, hana kawng nu nami law hy,’ ni tinak khqi kaw.
26 Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be —
Cawh nangmih ing, “Nang ing buh a an ni aw ni ai haih saw kaw, lam awh awm ni cawngpyi tik saw kaw,” tina kawm uk ti.
27 ‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
Cehlai anih ing, ‘Amni sim khqi nyng, hana kawng nu nami law hy. Nangmih thawlhnaak ak saikhqi, ak chang na cet uh!’ ni tinak khqi kaw.
28 There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets, in the Kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
Abraham, Isaak, Jakob ingkaw tawnghakhqi boeih Khawsa qam khuiawh ami awm ce nami huh awh, nangmih taw a leng na kqangnaak ingkaw hatahnaak a hun awh awm kawm uk ti.
29 People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
Khaw law khawtlak, a sip a hawt benna kawng thlangkhqi law kawm usaw, Khawsa qam khuiawh buh veelnaak kung awh ngawi kawm uh.
30 there are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
Hu ak khyngkhqi ce ma kawm usaw, ak makhqi ce hu khyng lat kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
31 Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
Cawh Farasi thlang a vangkhqi ce Jesu a venna law unawh a venawh, “Ve a hun ve cehta nawh ak chang na cet hlah. Herod ing nang him aham ngaih hy,” tina uhy.
32 But Jesus answered: “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and shall be completing cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall have done.’
Jesu ing, “Cet unawh taw ak thai ngentang ce kqawn pe uh, “Tuhngawi awh awm khawngawi awh awm qaaikhqi hqek kawng nyng saw thlak tlokhqi qoei sak kawng, am thum nyn awh kang cainaak ce coeng kawg nyng’ tihy tina uh.
33 But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
Kawmih awh awm, tuhngawi, khawngawi ingkaw tiktuh dy ka ceh qoe qoe aham awm hy, tawngha ikawmyih awm Jerusalem khawceng awh am thi thai hy!
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her — Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
Aw Jerusalem, Jerusalem, tawnghakhqi ak himkung ingkaw na venawh a tyih lawkhqi lung ing ak khawngkung, ai nu ing a cakhqi ang hlak khui awh ang koep sih amyihna, na cakhqi izah nu hqui sawi aham, ka ngaih ce, nang ingtaw am ngaih hyk ti!
35 Verily your House is left to you desolate! and never, I tell you, shall you see me, until you say — ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Toek lah, na im ve a sit qak nani ami cehtaak hyt hawh hy. Ka nik kqawn peek, ‘Bawipa ming ing ak law taw a zoseen hy,’ tinawh nak kqawn hlan dy taw kai ve amni hu qoe voel kawp ti,” tina hy.
