Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he xaleinghngih atänga jah khü lü, khawyai he avan jah mkhütnaka johit la natnak he jah m'yainak be theinak jah pe lü,
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Pamhnama khawa mawng sang hü khai he la, am phetki he jah m’yai be khai hea a jah tüih.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami cehnaka ipi ä nami cehei vai, ksawngkhea pi kyase, kthäheinaka ngjaa pi kyase, eia pi kyase, nguia pi kyase, ä nami cehei vai, kcu nghngih ä nami cehei vai.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
“Acunüng nami phanaka ima nami awm laih laih vai, acun üngka naw nami ktawih be vai.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
“Am ning jah dokhamki cun, acuna mlüh üngka naw nami ktawih be üng, ami ngsingnak vaia nami khawpha üngka mvut nami khawk hüt vai,” a ti.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Acunüng axüisaw he cun ktawih u lü, ngnam naküta cit hü u lü, thangkdaw sang hü u lü, hmün naküt üng ami jah m’yai hü be.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
Acunüng, Kalile uki Herod naw ahmäi ngja law lü aktäa cäi lawki; avang he naw, “Baptican Johan xüng law beki ni,” ami ti.
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
Avang naw, “Elijah ngdang lawki ni,” ti u se, avang he naw, “Ajana sahma mat mat xüng law beki he ni” ami ti.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Acunüng, Herod naw, “Johan cun a lu ka xün päng ni, ahikba sena a mawng ka ngjak hin u ni?” a ti. Acunüng Herod naw Jesuh a hmuh vai aktäa ngjahlüki.
10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
Acunüng, ngsä he law be u lü, ami bilawh he Jesuh üng ami jah mtheh law. Acunüng, Jesuh naw jah ngkhahpüi lü Bethsaida mlüh ami tia, a jah cehpüi.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
Cunsepi, khyang he naw sim u lü, ami läk laih laih, acunüng Jesuh naw aktäa jah dokham lü, Pamhnama khawa mawng ngthu jah mtheki naw, m’yai be vai avan a jah m’yai be.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
Acunüng, nghngi kya law hlü se, xaleinghngih he Jesuha veia law u lü, “Khyang he mi peisu ngnam he la loea jah tüia, ngsutnak la ei vai hmuei khai hea, hina mäih khawkhyawng khawa mi awm ve,” ami ti.
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
Acunüng Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Nangmi naw ami ei vai jah pe ua,” a ti. Acunüng axüisaw he naw, “Muk mhma la nga nglung nghngih ni kami tak. Hin he avana hama, ei vai kami va kheih vai ti aih lü? ami ti.
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Kpami däng pi thawng mhma lawki hea kyaki. Acunüng Jesuh naw, axüisaw he üng, “Mhmakip cia, aphäh phäha jah ngawhsak u,” a ti.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Acunüng acunkba ami van ami jah ngawhsak.
16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Jesuh naw muk mhma la nga nglung nghngih lo lü, khankhawa hang mang lü, josenak am kbe lü, boki naw, khyang hea maa, ami tak vaia axüisaw he üng a jah pet.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Acunüng, ami van naw ei u lü phü u se, ami ei mnawi cä xaleinghngiha ami kaw.
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Acunüng hinkba kyaki, Jesuh amät ktaiyü se, axüisaw he a veia lawki he, Jesuh naw, “Khyang he naw ua ni ami na ngaih,” ti lü a jah kthäh.
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Acunüng, axüisaw he naw, “Baptican Johana ning ngai ve u; cunsepi, avang naw, ‘Elijaha’ ning ngai ve u, avang naw, ‘Akphyüma sahma mat mat xüng law beki ni’ ti ve u,” tia ami msang.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Acuna akyaküng, nangmi naw mä ua ni nami na ngaih,” a ti. Pita naw, “Nang cun Mhnama Mesijah ni” a ti.
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Acunüng, upi acuna mawng ä ami mtheh vaia a jah ksük.
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Khyanga capa naw aktäa khuikhanak khamei khai, angvai he, ktaiyü ngvai he la thum ksing he naw ma khai he, hnima kya khai, amhmüp kthum üng tho law be khai,” a ti.
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Acunüng, ami vana veia, “Upi na läk law khai ngaiki naw amät ä ngaikyu lü, a kutlamktung amhmüp tä se kawt lü na läk law se.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
“Upi a xünnak küikyanei khai büki naw mkhyüh lü, upi keia phäha, a xünnak mkhyühki naw küikyanei khai.
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
“Khyang naw khawmdek avan ka na lü, amät la amät pyeh se, am acunüng xükse, ia ni a ngmangnak kawm?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
“Upi, kei la ka ngthu ngkekhyakei naki cun, khyanga Capa naw, a pa hlüngtainak, amäta hlüngtainak la khankhawngsä ngcim he am a law be üng, ngkekhyakei na be khai.
27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
“Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, hin üng ngdüiki he avang, Pamhnama khaw am ami hmuh hlana küt üng am thi khai he awmki he” a ti.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Acuna ngthu a pyen kän amhmüp khyet üng, Pita, Johan la Jakuk jah ngkhahpüi lü, ktaiyü khaia mcunga kaiki.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
A ktaiyü k’um üng, a hmai hnga law lü, a suisak he a ktäa bawk law lü ngkah lawki.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Acunüng, khyang nghngih Jesuh am ngthuheiki xawi, acun kxawi cun Mosi la Elijaha kyaki xawi,
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
khankhaw hlüngtai kyäpsawknak suiawi ni lü, Jerusalema a khuikhanak vaia mawng pyenki xawi.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
Acunüng, Pita la a püi he ipeiki he let law u lü, a hlüngtainak la a peia khyang nghngih ngdüiki xawi ami jah hmuh.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
Acun xawi naw Jesuh ani ktawih law hlü tak üng, Pita naw i a pyen ä ksingei lü Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, hia awm hin daw ve, na hama mat, Mosia hama mat, Elijaha hama mat samca kthum kami sa khai,” a ti.
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Acukba a pyen k’um üng khawngmei naw jah msungin law se, axüisaw he kyü lawki he.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Ngmei üng “Hin hin ka xüa ka Capa ni, a ngthu ngai u,” tia ngthu ngthang lawki.
36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
Acunüng, ngthu a ngdüm la, Jesuh amät däng ami hmuh. Axüisaw he cun am khikheh u lü, ami hmuha mawng cun, acuna pät üng u üng pi am mtheh u.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
A ngawi üng mcung üngka naw axüisaw kthum am kyum be u se, khyang khawjah naw ami na khyum.
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
Acunüng, khyang hea ksunga khyang mat ngpyang lü, “Saja aw, amät däng ka canak ka capa teng law, ning hui na veng.
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
“Khawyai naw man khawi se, ngpyangin sawxat xatki, a mci mvawn pi kya law khaia pawh lü mdek üng a kyuk sak khawi, acunkba mkhuimkha lü am ceh hlü ta.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
“Acunüng, na xüisaw he üng ami ktäm vaia jah nghui na ni se, amimi naw pi ani cun am ami ktäm thei,” a ti.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Jesuh naw, “Jumnak am ta lü, üpnak am awmkia khyang he, nami veia ivei ka awm khai aw? Ivei ka ning jah msawk vai aw?” ti lü, acuna khyang üng, “Na ca hia lawpüia,” ti lü a msang.
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Acunüng, hnasen a law k'um üng, khawyai naw khawmdek khana kyuk sak lü, aknaa a pawh. Cunsepi, Jesuh naw, khawyai kse jüi lü, anghmaw mdaw beki naw a pa üng a pet.
43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
Acunüng, khyang avan naw Pamhnama hlüngtainak cun aktäa kyühkhyai lawki he. Ami van naw acunkba, a bilawh he ami kyühkhyai law üng, Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
“Ka ning jah mtheh hlü ä mhnih u; Khyanga Capa, khyang hea kut üng mansak vai ng'et law ve,” a ti.
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Cunsepi, a ngthu pyena suilam cun am ami ksing, ami ksing vaia mjiha kyaki, ami kthäh vaia pi ami kyüh.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Acunüng, u kyäp säih khai tia amimät he ana ngcuh hü u se,
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Jesuh naw ami ngaikyunak jah ksing lü, hnasenca mat kai lü, a peia taki naw,
48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
“Upi hina hnasenca, ka ngming üng dokhamki cun, kei na dokhamki ni, acunüng u pi, kei na dokhamki cun, kei na tüi lawki pi dokhamki ni. Nangmi üng jaw säihki, acun cen kyäp säih khai,” a ti.
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Acunüng Johan naw, “Saja aw, khyang mat naw na ngming am khawyai he jah ktäm se kami hmuh, keimi üngka am nikia kyase am a pawh ti vaia kami kpyai,” a ti.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Ä kpyai ti ua, u pi nangmi am ning jah hnengki cun nami püia kyaki ni,” a ti.
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
Acunüng, khankhawa a cehnak vai ng'et law se, Jerusalema a ceh vai lingki.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
Ngsä he a ma a jah na tüih. Acunüng, ana dawng u lü, ana ngtün pe khai hea Samarih khaw mata lutki he.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
Jerusalema cit khaia a büa phäha Samarih khyang he naw am a na dokham u.
54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
Acunüng, axüisaw xawi Johan la Jakuk naw acun ani ksing la, “Bawipa aw, hin he ami ngkhihnak bäih vaia, khankhawa mei han khü vaia na ngjahlüki aw?” tia ani kthäh.
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw ani veia nghlat law lü, a jah jüih.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
Acunüng ngnam kcea citki he.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Lam ami ceh k'um üng khyang mat naw, “Na cehnak avana ka ning läk khai,” ti lü Jesuh a mtheh,
58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
Jesuh naw, “Sauie naw khui ta u lü, kha he naw pi ngbu taki he, khyanga Capa naw ta a lu a khännak vai la a xüieinak vai pi am ta ve,” a ti.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Acunüng, Jesuh naw khyang kcea veia, “Na läk lawa,” a ti. Cunsepi ani naw, “Bawipa aw, cit be lü ka pa va k'ut hüt ma vang,” a ti.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Khyangkthi he naw amimät akthi k'utei u se; nang ta Pamhnama khawa mawng ngthu va sanga,” a ti.
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
Akce naw pi, “Saja aw, ka ning läk law khai; cunsepi, ka im üngka he, ngthukdaw am jah va ngkhyahpüi ma vang,” a ti.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Acunüng, Jesuh naw mtheh lü, “Upi, lai thawn khaia ngtün lü, a hnu lam tengki cun Pamhnama khaw am ä nghlawiki ni,” a ti.
