Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
Tua zawkciang in, Jesus sia Pathian kumpingam lungdamna thupha son tu in khuapi le khua no sang ah nungzui sawmleni te taw pai hi,
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
Taciang natna a tatuam le doai ngilo vei na pan a damsak numei te, tua numei te sung ah, a sung pan doai sali a hawlkhiatsak Mary magdalene,
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
Herod i neisa keam Chuza i zi Joanna, Susanna le a dang tampi te in amate neisa te taw Jesus paai uh hi.
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
Khua tatuam pan in mi tampi te Jesus kung ah hong ki kaikhop ciang in, thu sontena son a:
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
Thaici poai khat thaici poai tu in pai hi: a poai ciang in, pawlkhat te lamlai ah tak hi; tate sia ki sikcil lel a, van a leang vacim te in ne siat hi.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
Pawlkhat te sia suang tung ah tak a; a po zawkpociang ngawtak pai hi, banghangziam cile lei hing ngawl hang a hihi.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Thaici pawlkhat te sia lingphung sung ah tak hi; ling te taw khangkhawm a, ling te in deapcip hi.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
A dang te sia leipha na mun ah tak a, po in a se zakhat in khang hi. Taciang hi thu te a son zawkciang in, Zak natu bil nei theampo in za ta uh hen, ci au hi.
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
Taciang a nungzui te in, hi sontena a khiakna bang ziam? ci in dong hi.
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
Jesus in, Pathian kumpingam thuku te heak thei na note tung ah hong ki pia zo hi: ahihang ngualdang te tung ah sontena te bek taw ki son tu hi; en napi mu ngawl tu uh hi, ngai na pi tel tuan ngawl tu uh hi.
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
Hi sontena sia hibang a hihi: thaici sia Pathian kammal a hihi.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
Lampi ah a tak thaici sia Pathian kammal za napi, um in ngupna a nga thei ngawl natu in, doaimangpa hongpai a amate thinsung pan in Pathian kammal te laksak siat hi.
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
Suang tung ah a tak thaici te sia, Pathian kammal za a, lungdam in sang napi, zung a nei ngawl hang in tawmvei sung um a, ze-etna hun ciang pukkik pai hi.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
Lingphung sung a tak thaici te sia, Pathian kammal za napi, leitung thinngimna, hauna le lungkimna te in deap cip a, nga pha nga zo ngawl hi.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
Ahihang leipha na a tak thaici te sia, Pathian kammal a zak uh ciang in, thinsung pha le thuman taw Pathian kammal za a, keamcing ahikom thuakna taw nga pha a nga te a hihi.
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
Kuama in khuaimei a det uh ciang in khum taw sin ngei ngawl a, lupna nuai ah zong koi ngei ngawl hi; ahihang innsung a tum te in a vaangtang a mu thei natu in meidet na munsang ah koi hi.
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
Banghangziam cile a kilang ngawl tu in sealcip thei om ngawl a; heak ngawl tu le ki thethang ngawl tu in phual thei na zong om ngawl hi.
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
Tua ahikom na thu zak uh te kidawm vun, banghangziam cile a kuamapo a nei te ki pia tu a; a nei ngawl khatpo zong a nei bang in a ngaisut te ki laksak vet lai tu hi, ci hi.
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
Jesus a nu le a suapui te hongpai uh ahihang, mi tamlei ahikom a kung ah pai thei ngawl hi.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
Mi khat in Jesus kung ah, na nu le na suapui te nangma taw ki mu nuam in a puasang ah ding hi, ci in son hi.
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
Taciang Jesus in amate tung ah, Pathian thu ngai in, a seam te sia ka nu le ka suapui te a hi uh hi, ci in zo kik hi.
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
Nikhat Jesus a nungzui te taw ngunkuang sung ah to uh a: amate tung ah, Tuili ngalkhat ah pai tawng, ci hi. Taciang ngunkuang taw pai tek uh hi.
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
Ahihang ngunkuang taw a pai uh laitak in Jesus mu hi: tuili tung ah huipi suangval hong va hi; taciang ngunkuang sung ah tuidim in, a lauhuai mama dinmun hong theng hi.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
Nungzui te Jesus kung pai in phong a, Topa, Topa, bo cip khu hi, ci uh hi. Jesus hong tho a, huipi le tuihual te tei hi: taciang amate thim uh a, dai dide hi.
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
Jesus in amate tung ah, Na upna uh kongsung ziam? ci hi. Taciang amate lau le lamdangsa in, hisia pa sia bangbang mihing ziam! banghangziam cile ama in huipi le tui te thupia a, a thu ni uh hi, ci in khat le khat kikum uh hi.
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
Taciang amate sia Galilee ngalkhat, Gadarenes ngam ah hong theng uh hi.
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
Jesus tuihui ah hong kato ciang in, doai a vei zawk a ngei mama zo khat taw ki si uh hi, ama sia puansil ngawl in, inn zong om ngei ngawl a, than sung bebek ah om hi.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
Jesus a mu ciang in, au a, a mai ah bok in, taciang aw ngingtak taw, Jesus, nang a sangbel Pathian Tapa, nang taw bang kisaina nei hi ziam? hong vawtsia heak in, hesuak kong ngen hi, ci hi.
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
Banghangziam cile Jesus in tha-nin sia mihing sung pan pusuak tu in thu pia zo hi. Tamvei mama doai ngilo in ama man hi: taciang ama sia saikhau le thikkhau taw hen uh ahihang; a hen nate bottan in, doai ngilo in duisung ah paisak hi.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
Jesus in, Na min kua ziam? ci in dong hi, ama in ka min sia Legion, hi ci hi: banghangziam cile doai ngilo tam mama a sung ah tum hi.
Doai ngilo te in Jesus kung ah, dum thukpi sung ah a hawlkhiat ngawl natu in ngen hi. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
Mualtung ah vokhon tam mama anne in om hi: taciang doai ngilo te in Jesus tung ah vokhon sung ah tumsak natu in ngen uh a, Jesus in tumsak hi.
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
Tua pa sung pan in doai ngilo te pusuak a, vokhon sung ah tum hi: vokhon te sia liang pan ki nuntaw suk in tuili sung ah tuita in thi siat hi.
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
Vokcing te in thupiang teng a mu uh ciang, tai uh a, tua thu khuasung le khuano tatuam te ah son hi.
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
Tua thupiang en tu in mi tampi pusuak uh a; Jesus kung ah hongpai uh hi, taciang a sung pan doai ngilo a pusuak pa nik le puan sil in, thinsung man in Jesus peang kung ah a to a mu uh ciang in, lau tek mama uh hi.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
Tua pa a mu uh ciang in doai ngilo vei in a thin-am pa a damkik na thu ngualdang te son uh hi.
37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
Tasiaciang Gadarenes ngam le a kiimkot a om mihonpi theampo in amate kung pan pusuak tu in ngen uh hi; banghangziam cile amate lau mama uh hi: taciang Jesus sia ngunkuang sung ah to a, cia kik hi.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
A sung pan doai ngilo tampi a pusuak pa in Jesus zui tu in ngen hi: ahihang Jesus in ama paisak a,
39 “Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
Na inn ah cia tan a, Pathian in nangma atu in na lianpi hong vawtsak te son in, ci hi. Tua pa zong pai a, Jesus in ama atu a vawtsak na lianpi te khuasung theampo ah tangko hi.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Jesus a heakkik ciang in, mite in lungdamtak in sang uh hi: banghangziam cile a vekpi in ama ngak tek uh hi.
41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
Taciang, en vun Jairus a kici, synagogue lampui khat hongpai hi: taciang a inn ah pai tu in a peang ah bok in thum hi.
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
Banghangziam cile a tanu neisun sia kum sawm le kum ni kiim hi a, thi dektak in zau hi. Ahihang Jesus a pai ciang in ngual in phul kheukho hi.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
Tuate sung ah numei khat kum sawm le kum ni sung thisuak in a nei theampo syavuan te tung ah zangsiat napi, kuama in damsak thei ngawl hi.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
Jesus nung pan pai in, a puan mong dawn a tham pociang, a thisuak tawlnga hi.
45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
Taciang Jesus in, Kua na hong tham nu ziam? ci hi. Mi theampo in nial uh a, Peter le a kung ah a om te in, Topa awng, mihonpi in hong phul kheukho in hong neng cip hi, banghang in, kua in hong tham nu ziam ci ni ziam? ci uh hi.
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
Jesus in, Khat in hong tham hi: banghangziam cile ka sung pan in vangletna a pusuak hunlam he khi hi, ci hi.
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
Numeinu in ki im thei ngawl tu hi, ci a tel ciang, huang vadil kawm in hongpai a, Jesus mai ah bok hi, mi theampo mai ah, banghang in Jesus tham ci le, thakhatthu in a dam na thu pualak hi.
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
Jesus in, Ka tanu awng, patau heak in: na upna in hong damsak zo hi; thinnuamtak in cia in, ci hi.
49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
Taciang Jesus a pau laitak in, synagogue lampui pa inn pan khat hongpai a, na tanu thi zo hi; Syapa nawngkaisak nawn heak in, ci hi.
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
Ahihang Jesus in, tua thu za a, Lau heak in: um bek um in, taciang ama dam tu hi, ci in zo kik hi.
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
Jesus tua inn a thet ciang in, Peter, James, John le patangno i nu le pa simngawl kuama innsung ah tumsak ngawl hi.
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
Mi theampo kap uh a, tua nu sia nasia tak in ka tek uh hi: ahihang Jesus in, Kap heak vun; ama thi ngawl hi, a mu hi, ci hi.
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Numei no sia thi hi, ci he tek zo a hi uh man in Jesus selno in nuisan uh hi.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
Jesus in a vekpi in pusuaksak siat hi, taciang numeino khut pan len in sam a, Tanu no, tho in, ci hi.
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
Tasiaciang a thaa hong heakkik a, thakhatthu in thokik hi: taciang Jesus in, an pia tu in thupia hi.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
Taciang a nu le a pa te in lamdangsa mama hi: ahihang Jesus in a sep thu kuama tung son ngawl tu in vaitha hi.
