Luke 9
1 Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, as well as to cure diseases.
Hnukbang hlainit te a hueh tih rhaithae te boeih khulae tih tlohtat hoeih sak ham amih taengah thaomnah neh saithainah a paek.
2 He sent them out as his Messengers, to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to work cures.
Te phoeiah Pathen ram hoe ham neh tattloel hoeih sak ham a tueih.
3 “Do not,” he said to them, “take anything for your journey; not even a staff, or a bag, or bread, or any silver, or a change of clothes with you.
Te vaengah amih te, “Longpueng ham cunghol, sungsa, vaidam neh tangka khaw khuen uh boeh. Angki khaw yung nit khuen boeh.
4 Whatever house you go to stay in, remain there, and leave from that place.
Im te na kun thil coeng atah, na naeh uh to vetih te lamlohna nong uh mako.
5 If people do not welcome you, as you leave that town, shake even the dust off your feet, as a protest against them.”
Tedae nangmih aka doe pawt te tah kho lamkah na nong vaengah na kho dongah tangdik te, amih aka laipai thil ham khoek pa uh,” a ti nah.
6 Then they set out and went from village to village, telling the Good News and curing people everywhere.
Te dongah aka cet rhoek loh kho tom a hil uh tih olthangthen a thui phoeiah khotomrhali ah tloh a hoeih sakuh.
7 Prince Herod heard of all that was happening, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John must be risen from the dead.
Aka om hno boeih te khoboei Herod loh a yaak vaengah sut hit. A ngen loh, “Johan te duek lamkah thoo coeng.
8 Some again said that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the old Prophets had risen again.
A ngen bal loh, “Elijah phoe coeng te, “a tloe rhoek long tah, “Khosuen kah tonghma khat khat ni aka thoo coeng te,” a ti uh.
9 But Herod himself said: “John I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he endeavoured to see him.
Tedae Herod loh, “Johan te ka rhaih coeng dae ulae aka om tih a thang vawk ka yaak he,” a ti tih amah hmuh ham a toem.
10 When the Apostles returned, they related to Jesus all that they had done. Then Jesus retired privately to a town called Bethsaida, taking the Apostles with him.
Caeltueih rhoek a bal uh vaengah amamih kah a saii uh boeih te Jesuh taengah a thui uh. Te phoeiah amih te a khuen tih Bethsaida a ti uh kho la amah bueng vil vi uh.
11 But the people recognised him and followed him in crowds; and Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, while he cured those who were in need of help.
Tedae anih aka vai hlangping loh a ming coeng dongah, amih te a doe tih Pathen ram kawng te amih ham a thui pah. Te vaengah hoeihnah aka ngoe rhoek khaw a hoeih sak.
12 The day was drawing to a close, when the twelve came up to him, and said: “Send the crowd away, so that they may make their way to the villages and farms round about, and find themselves lodgings and provisions, for we are in a lonely spot here.”
Khohnin loh a khum thuk vaengah hlainit rhoek loh amah te a paan tih, “Hlangping he tueih pawn sih, te daengah ni a taengvai kah kho neh lohma la cet vetih a pah nah ham neh buham khaw a dang uh eh. Khosoek hmuen ah ni ng'om uh he,” a ti uh.
13 But Jesus said: “It is for you to give them something to eat.” “We have not more than five loaves and two fishes,” they answered; “unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people.”
Tedae hnukbang rhoek te, “Amih kah a caak ham te nangmih loh pae uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amih loh, “He Pilnam pum ham caak aka lai la ka cet uh pawt koinih, vaidam panga neh nga panit lakah aka yet te kaimih taengah om voel pawh,” a ti uh.
14 (For the men among them were about five thousand.) “Get them seated in companies,” was his reply, “about fifty in each.”
Te vaengah hlang thawngnga tluk om uh. Tedae a hnukbang rhoek te, “Amih te a boel pakhat ah hlang sawmnga tluk rhip ngol sak,” a ti nah.
15 This they did, and got all the people seated.
Te dongah a saii uh van tih boeih a ngol sakuh.
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven and said the blessing over them. Then he broke them in pieces, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people.
Te phoeiah vaidam panga neh nga panit te a loh. Vaan la oeloe tih a uem phoeiah a aeh tih hlangping te patoeng paek hamla hnukbang rhoek taengah a paek.
17 Every one had sufficient to eat, and what was left of the broken pieces was picked up — twelve baskets.
A caak uh tih boeih a hah uh phoeiah a coih a nueipil te voh hlainit la a phueih uh.
18 Afterwards, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question — “Who do the people say that I am?”
A tue loh a pha vaengah thangthui neh amah bueng om tih hnukbang rhoek loh anih te a puei uh. Te vaengah amih te a dawt tih, “Hlangping loh kai he ulae a ti uh?” a ti nah.
19 “John the Baptist,” was their answer; “others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old Prophets has risen again.”
A doo uh tih, “Hlangvang loh tuinuem Johan, Elijah, hlangvang bal loh khosuen kah tonghma pakhat khat koep thoo,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
20 “But you,” he went on, “who do you say that I am?” And to this Peter answered: “The Christ of God.”
Te phoeiah amamih te, “Nangmih long tah kai he ulae na ti uh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Peter loh a doo tih, “Pathen kah Khrih ni,” a ti nah.
21 Jesus, however, strictly charged them not to say this to any one;
Tedae amih te a ho tih te te thui pawt ham a uen.
22 he told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the Councillors, and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
Hlang Capa tah a muep a patang ham a kuek. Te dongah patong rhoek, khosoihham rhoek, neh cadaek rhoek loh a hnawt uh vetih a ngawn uh ni. Tedae a thum hnin ah thoo ni,” a ti nah.
23 And to all present he said: “If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him renounce self, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Amih boeih te khaw, “Khat khat long ni ka hnukah lo ham a ngaih atah, amah te hnawt uh saeh lamtah, a thinglam a koh doela hnin takuem ah kai m'vai van saeh.
24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life — that man shall save it.
A hinglu te khang ham aka ngaih te tah a hingnah poci ni. Tedae kai kongah hinglu aka poci long tah a hingnah a khang ni.
25 What good does it do a man if, when he has gained the whole world, he has lost or forfeited himself?
Hlang loh Diklai pum a dang dae amah poci uh tih a sungdaeh atah balae a hoeikhang eh?
26 Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Glory and the Glory of the father and of the holy angels.
Kai neh ka ol he aka yah puei te tah capa kah, pa kah, a cim puencawn rhoek kah thangpomnah neh ha pawk vaengah hlang capa loh anih te a yah puei ni.
27 Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God.”
Tedae nangmih taengah rhep kan thui. Hekah aka pai khuiah hlangvang om. Amih loh Pathen kah ram he a ming uh hlan atah dueknah te ten uh mueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
28 About eight days after speaking these words, Jesus went up the mountain to pray, taking with him Peter, John, and James.
He kah olka a poeng phoeikah hnin rhet tluk ah, Peter, Johan neh James te a khuen tih tlang la thangthui ham a caeh puei.
29 As he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed, and his clothing became of a glittering whiteness.
A thangthui vaengah a maelhmai kah a mueimae loh a tloe la om tih a pueinak te a bok la khooi.
30 And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,
Te vaengah hlang panit loh anih te tarha a voek rhoi. Amih rhoi tah Moses neh Elijah ni.
31 who appeared in a glorified state, and spoke of his departure, which was destined to take place at Jerusalem.
Amih rhoi tah thangpomnah neh phoe rhoi tih a Sunglatnah te a thui rhoi. Te te Jerusalem ah soep sak ham om coeng.
32 Peter and his companions had been overpowered by sleep but, suddenly becoming wide awake, they saw Jesus glorified and the two men who were standing beside him.
Tedae Peter neh a taengkah rhoi tah a ih neh bakba a hap uh tih om uh. A haenghang uh vaengah a thangpomnah te a hmuh uh tih a taengah hlang panit ana pai pah.
33 And, as Moses and Elijah were passing away from Jesus, Peter exclaimed: “Sir, it is good to be here; let us make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what he was saying;
Amih rhoi te Jesuh taeng lamloh a khoe uh phoeiah Peter loh Jesuh te, “Boeipa, he ah he mamih ng'om uh ham then, dap pathum ah tuk uh sih, namah ham pakhat, Moses ham pakhat, Elijah ham pakhat saeh,” a ti nah tih a thui nawn te khaw ming pawh.
34 and, while he was speaking, a cloud came down and enveloped them; and they were afraid, as they passed into the cloud;
Te te a a thui vaengah muei yal tih amih te a dah. Te dongah muei khuila a kun uh te khaw a rhih uh.
35 and from the cloud came a voice which said — “This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear.”
Muei khui lamkah ol ha thoeng tih, “Anih tah ka tuek ka ca ni, a ol hnatun pa uh,” a ti.
36 And, as the voice ceased, Jesus was found alone. The Apostles kept silence, and told no one about any of the things that they had seen.
Ol a thui bawt ah Jesuh tah amah bueng te tueng. Amih khaw kam a khuem uh tih te khohnin ah a hmuh uh te puen uh pawh.
37 The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.
Hnin at om tih a vuen ah amih te tlang lamloh suntla uh. Te vaengah Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a doe.
38 And just then a man in the crowd shouted out: “Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;
Te vaengah hlang pakhat te hlangping khui lamloh tarha pang tih, “Saya, kai ham tah khueh duen la a om dongah, ka capa te nan paelki ham kam bih.
39 all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions till he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.
Anih te mueihla loh a tuuk tarha vaengah tah buengrhuet pang tih, tolhom neh suvaih. Anih te mat a ngawn a thaeh daengah a mael tak.
40 I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”
Mueihla aka haek la na hnukbang rhoek te ka hloep dae coeng thai pawh,” a ti nah.
41 “O faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed; “how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”
Te dongah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Aka tangnahmueh neh pamdah cadil aw, nangmih taengah mevaeng hil nim ka om vetih nangmih te ka yaknaem ve? Na capa te he la han thak,” a ti nah.
42 While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
A taengla ham paan vaengah camoe te rhaithae loh a voeih dongah thuen pueng. Tedae Jesuh loh mueihla thae te a ho daengah, camoe te hoeih tih a napa taengla a mael.
43 And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples:
Te dongah Pathen kah a lennah soah boeih let uh tih, a hnukbang rhoek taengkah a thui neh a saii boeih soah boeih a ngaihmang uh.
44 “Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.”
Te vaengah, “He kah ol he na hna ah namamih loh dueh uh. Hlang capa tah hlang kut ah voeih ham cai coeng,” a ti nah.
45 But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.
Tedae he olthui he a mangvawt uh. Te te a hmuhming pawt ham ni amih ham a phah la om coeng. Te dongah he olthui he amah dawt ham a rhih uh.
46 A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;
Tedae amamih khuiah ulae tanglue la aka om eh tila amamih khuiah poeknah a kun pah.
47 and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,
Jesuh loh amih thinko poeknah te a hmuh dongah camoe a loh tih amah taengah a pai sak.
48 and then said to them: “Any one who, for the sake of my Name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and any one who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his Messenger. For whoever is lowliest among you all — that man is great.”
Te vaengah, “He camoe he ka ming neh aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Ka tueih aka doe long tah kai ni n'doe. Nangmih boeih lakli ah a diknoi la kho aka sa tah tanglue la om ni,” a ti nah.
49 Thereupon John said: “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”
Johan loh a doo tih, “Boeipa, nang ming neh rhaithae aka haek hlang pakhat ka hmuh uh. Tedae mamih taengah a bang pawt dongah anih te ka paa sak uh,” a ti nah.
50 “None of you must prevent him,” Jesus said to John; “he who is not against you is for you.”
Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Paa sak uh boeh, nangmih kah a kingkalh la aka om pawt te tah nangmih ham ni a om,” a ti nah.
51 As the days before his being taken up to Heaven were growing few, Jesus set his face resolutely in the direction of Jerusalem; and he sent on messengers in advance.
A lueinah khohnin te a paan tom coeng dongah Jesuh tah Jerusalem la caeh ham a maelhmai a hooi.
52 On their way, they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him,
Te dongah puencawn rhoek te a hmai ah a tueih. Te vaengah cet uh tih Jesuh ham aka rhuengphong la Samaria kho khuila kun uh.
53 but the people there did not welcome him, because his face was set in the direction of Jerusalem.
Tedae Jerusalem la cet tih a maelhmai tueng ham a om dongah anih te doe uh pawh.
54 When James and John saw this, they said: “Master, do you wish us to call for fire to come down from the heavens and consume them?”
A hnukbang James neh Johan loh a hmuh rhoi vaengah, “Boeipa, vaan lamkah hmai suntlak sak ham neh amih hlawp sak ham khue na ngaih a?” a ti nah rhoi.
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
A mael thil tih amih rhoi te a ho.
56 And they made their way to another village.
Te dongah kho tloe la vik cet uh.
57 And, while they were on their way, a man said to Jesus: “I will follow you wherever you go.”
Long ah a caeh uh vaengah hlang pakhat loh, “Mela na caeh akhaw nang kam vai ni,” a ti nah.
58 “Foxes have holes,” he replied, “and wild birds their roosting-places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Te vaengah Jesuh loh anih te, “Metang loh a khui, vaan kah vaa long khaw bu a khuehuh. Tedae hlang capa tah lu a tloeng nah khaw khueh pawh,” a ti nah.
59 To another man Jesus said: “Follow me.” “Let me first go and bury my father,” said the man.
Te phoeiah a tloe taengah, “Kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah. Tedae, te long te, “Boeipa, a pa up ham lamhma la kai n'caeh sak mai,” a ti nah.
60 But Jesus said: “Leave the dead to bury their dead; but go yourself and carry far and wide the news of the Kingdom of God.”
Tedae anih te, “Aka duek rhoek up ham aka duek rhoek te hlah pah. Tedae nang tah cet lamtah Pathen kah ram te doek ngawn,” a ti nah.
61 “Master,” said another, “I will follow you; but first let me say good-bye to my family.”
Te phoeiah pakhat long khaw, “Nang kam vai van ni Boeipa, tedae kai tah ka im kah rhoek te lamhma la m'phih sak dae,” a ti nah.
62 But Jesus answered: “No one who looks back, after putting his hand to the plough, is fitted for the Kingdom of God.”
Tedae anih te Jesuh loh, “Laithol cung te kut a tloeng thil tih a hnuk la aka dan pawt ni Pathen kah ram ham aka ting la a om,” a ti nah.
