Matthew 12
1 At that time, Yeshua went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
Jesuh sabbath mhnüp üng loma lama cit se, axüisaw he ami ei ngaih u lü lomaa cangvüi kpyat lü eikie.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”
Pharise he naw ami jah hmuh üng, Jesuh üng, “Tenga, sabbath mhnüp üng jeih vai sü, am pawh vai na xüisawe naw pawh ve u” ti lü ami pyen.
3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
Jesuh naw, “Davit a ei ngaih lü a khyang he am i pawhkie ti cangcim üng am nami kheh khawiki aw?
4 how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Pamhnama ima lut u lü Pamhnam üng peta muk, ktaiyü he däk naw va eia nglawiki. Amimia eia am nglawiki a khyang he am eikie.
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Am ani üng, ktaiyü he sabbath mhnüp üng khut ami pawh msawk üng pi mkhyekiea am jah ngaih, ti cangcim üng am nami khe khawiki aw?
6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
Acunsepi ka ning jah mthehki, ngpumima kthaka daw bawki hia ve ve,
7 But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.
“Ngkengtaihnaka kdama mpyeneinak ngaih veng” ti nami ksinga ta ngsungpyunkie am nami jah mkatei khai sü.
8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Isetiüng ta, “Khyanga capa cun sabbatha Bawi ni” a ti.
9 He departed from there and went into their synagogue.
Jesuh acun üngka naw cit lü, ami sinakoka lutki.
10 And behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so that they might accuse him.
Acuia akutxo a na veki. Ami mkatei vaia phäha, “Sabbath mhnüp üng mdawnak bea khut pawh nglawiki aw?” ti lü ami kthäh.
11 He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it and lift it out?
Jesuh naw, “Nangmi üngka mata toca mat däk a tak sabbath mhnüp üng khuia k’uma kya se am na lo be khai aw, na hawihin khai aw.
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
To mata kthaka khyang mat sabbath mhnüp üng mdaw be vai cun daw bawki. Acunakyase, mi Thum üng pi sabbath mhnüp üng khyang mat kuei vai hin nglawiki ni” a ti.
13 Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
Acunkäna Jesuh naw akutxo üng, “Na kut sänga” ti se, a kut a säng ja a kut akce mäiha daw law beki.
14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.
Acunüng Pharise he akcea cit u lü Jesuh ami mkhyüh vaia cengkie.
15 Yeshua, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
Jesuh naw ami hnim hlü cun a ksingei üng, akcea jah ceh ta se khyangpä naw läki he. Mhnatei nakütki a jah mdaw be.
16 and commanded them that they should not make him known,
Jesuh naw ania mawng i käh ami kcüinak vaia a jah mtheh.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Acun cun Pamhnam naw a pyensak sahma Hesajah naw a na pyen a kümceinak vaia kyaki.
18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
“Tenga, ka mpya, ka xü cen, ka kphyanak ja ka mlunga jenak. Ka ngmüimkhya a khana ka tüih khai, ani naw ngthumkhyahnak cun khyangmjüe üng jah mtheh khai.
19 He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Ngpyang lü ngcuhpüi am ve, u naw a kthai lama käh ngja khai.
20 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
Ngkunkia kyaicung käh k’ekbät lü, meisui mkhu pi käh mthih khai. Ngpyunnak a ngnäng veia,
21 In his name, the nations will hope.”
A ngming üng khyang he naw äpeinak ta khaie.
22 Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
Acunüng khawyaia venak a mik mü lü am ngthuhei theiki khyang mat ami lawpüi Jesuh naw mdaw be se, ngthuhei lü hmuh law be theiki.
23 All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”
Khyangpäe naw Jesuha pawh cun hmu lü müncan law u lü, “Hina khyang hin Davita capa ni khawh khai aw?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
Pharise he naw acun ami ngjak üng, “Hina khyang naw Beelzebul yaiea mkhawnga pet johit am yaie jah ksät ve” ami ti.
25 Knowing their thoughts, Yeshua said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Jesuh naw ami cungaih jah ksing lü, “Aia pe pi animäte ngcawhkie cun khawvei am kham lü ngtai khawikie. Aia mlüh pi imbung üng pi, animäte ngcawhkie cun am ngsawn khawi u.”
26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Acunüng khawyai naw khawyai a ksät üng, amät naw amät mtaikia kya se, ikba a khaw ngsawng khawh khai ni?
27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Nangmi naw Beelzebul yai mkhawnga na pet johit am yaie ka jah ksät vaia nami pyenki. Acun a ni üng, u naw nami hnukläke üng jah ksätnaka johit jah peki ni? Nami hnukläke naw nami mkhye ngdangsak ve u, a ti.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon you.
Am ni, Beelzebula johit am ni. Mhnama ngmüimkhyaa johit am ka jah ksät üng va Pamhnama Khaw nami khana pha lawki.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
Am ani üng u naw khyang kyan yüi üng am pin ma lü, a ima ka khawhkhyame jah loei thei khai ni?
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
Au pi, kei da am veki cun kei na hnengki ni. Kei am alanga am na mcunpüiki cun ngphyüingphyakia kyaki ni.
31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Acunakyase ka ning jah mthehki, mkhyekatnak naküt ja, Pamhnam ksekha nakie cun jah mhläta kya khai. Cunsepi Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ksekhanaki cun mhlät theia am kya.
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Aupi Khyanga Capa mkhyekat na lü ksekhanaki cun mhläta kya khai. Cunsepi Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ksekhanaki cun tuh pi ngawia pi mhlät theia am kya. (aiōn g165)
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
Akthei üng a thing ksing theia kya se, akthei a daw üng a thing daw lü, akthei a set üng a thing seki ti nami ksing vai.
34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Kphyuksee aw, ihawkba se u lü akdaw nami pyen thei khai ni? Mlung üng veki va mpyawng üng lut law khawiki.
35 The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things.
Khyang kdaw naw a mlung kdaw üngka akdawe jah pyen khawi lü, khyang kse naw a mlung kse üngka aksee jah pyen khawiki.
36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
Ka ning jah mthehki, akse pyenkia khyang naküt a pyena phu cun ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng thung be khai.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Na ngthu naw ning lätsak lü na ngthu bä naw ning mkat khai” a ti.
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Rabbi, we want to see a sign from you.”
Acunüng thum mthei he avang ja Pharise he naw Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, müncankse mat na pawh kami hmuh hlüki” ti lü tä u se,
39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Jesuh naw, “Tuh kän khyang he ihlawka se lü mtuihmlehkie ni. Nangmi naw müncankse nami täkie aw? Jonaha müncanksea thea i käh ning jah mhnuh vai” a ti.
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jonah nganua k’uma mhnüp kthum ja mthan kthum a vea mäiha khyanga capa pi mdek k’uma mhnüp kthum ja mthan kthum ve khai.
41 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.
Ninevih mlüha khyang he naw ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng ngdüi u lü ning jah mtai law khaie. Isetiüng Jonaha ngthu pyena phäh ami mkhyenak üngka naw ngjutkie. Teng u, Jonaha kthaka kyäp bawkie ve ve u.
42 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.
Ngthumkhyahnaka mhnüp üng Sheba Sangpuxangnu naw ngdüi lü ning jah cijang law khai. Ani cun Solamona themngvainak ngai khaia athuknak a khaw üngka naw lawki. Teng ua, Solamona kthaka kyäp bawki hia ve khü.
43 “When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
Ngmüimkhyakse khyang üngka naw a lut law üng, mkyanga a hüieinak vai hnün sui hü lü am hmu lü,
44 Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
“ka venak kphyüm ima ka cit be khai” ti lü a ceh be üng, a na ngcim lü a na phephaih, a na ngkhämtawng se a hmuh.
45 Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”

46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Acukba khyang khawhahea veia a ngthuei k'um üng a nu ja a benae naw ami ngthuheipüi vaia sui hü u lü kpunga ngdüikie.
47 One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
Acunüng mat naw, “Tenga na nu ja na benae naw ning ngthuei hlüpüi lü kpunga ngdüi ve u” ti lü a mtheh.
48 But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
Jesuh naw, “U ni ka nu, ue ni ka benae cun” a ti.
49 He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he maa a kut säng lü, “Hine hin ka nu ja ka benae ni.”
50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Au pi, ka pa khankhawa kaa ngjak hlü pawhki naküt cun ka benae, ka cinae ja ka nua kyaki he ni” a ti.
