Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
1Sabbath a pha vaengah Jesuh tah Pharisee boeilu pakhat im ah buh ca la cet. Te vaengah amah te a om thil uh tih a dawn uh.
2Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
2Te vaengah hlang pakhat bungthung aka khueh te a hmaiah pakcak a pawk pah.
3So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
3Te dongah Jesuh loh olming rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek te a doo tih a voek vaengah, “ Sabbath hnin ah tloh hoeih sak ham tueng a, a tueng moenih a? ” a ti nah.
4But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
4Tedae amih loh a hil a phah uh dongah a hoeih sak hlang te a mawt tih a tueih.
5And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
5Te phoeiah amih te, “ Na ca mai khaw, vaito mai khaw tangrhom ah aka cungku te, Sabbath hnin ah pahoi a doek moenih a? ” a ti nah.
6And they were unable to answer these questions.
6Tedae te te oelh uh thai pawh.
7When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
7Hmuensang te mat a laehdawn tih aka tuek, a cael rhoek te nuettahnah a thui pah.
8“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
8Te vaengah amih te, “ Yuluei kung la hlang khat khat loh n'khue uh vaengah, hmuensang ah ngol uh boeh, anih loh a khue te nang lakah a khoelh la vik om ve .
9Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
9Te vaengah nang neh anih aka khue te ha pawk vetih nang te , ' Anih he hmuen pae dae ,’ a ti ni. Te vaengah yah te na poh van vetih a hmuen hnukkhueng te na dang ni .
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
10Te dongah n'khue vaengah cet lamtah hnukkhueng hmuen ah ngol. Te daengah ni nang aka khue te ha pawk vaengah nang te , ' Paya aw, thoo hang dae ,’ a ti vetih na taengkah aka ngol rhoek boeih taengah nang hamla thangpomnah a om eh .
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
11Amah aka pomsang boeih tah tlarhoel vetih amah aka tlarhoel tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah .
12Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
12Te phoeiah amah aka khue te khaw , “ Buhkoknah neh hlaembuh na saii vaengah, na paya, na manuca, na huiko, na imben kuirhang rhoek te khue boeh. Amih loh namah te n'buhung van vetih kutthungnah loh namah taengla ha thoeng ve .
13But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
13Tedae buhloei na tael vaengah khodaeng, kut ngun kho ngun, aka khaem, mikdael te khue .
14and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
14Yoethen la na om bitni, nang n'sah ham te khueh pawt cakhaw aka dueng rhoek kah thohkoepnah dongah nang ham a sah bitni,” a ti nah.
15When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
15A yaak uh vaengah aka ngol rhoek khuikah pakhat loh, “Yoethen long te tah Pathen kah ram ah buh a caak ni,” a ti nah.
16But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
16Anih te khaw Jesuh loh, “ Hlang pakhat loh hlaembuh muep a thong tih hlang muep a khue .
17When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
17Hlaembuh tue ah tah a sal te a khue rhoek taengla a tueih tih , ' Ham paan uh laeh, sikim la om coeng ,’ a ti nah .
18But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
18Tedae a bangtlang la boeih a thaanah uh tih, lamhma kah loh , ' Lo ka lai tih aka hip la caeh ham a kueknah la ka om. Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'rhoe mai ,’ a ti nah .
19Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
19Pakhat loh , ' Vaito a rhoi panga ka lai tih, nainong ham ka cet ni, Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'hoep mai ,’ a ti nah .
20Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
20Pakhat bal loh , ' Yuu ka loh tih ka lo ham coeng mahpawh ,’ a ti nah .
21The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
21Te dongah sal te a pawkvaengah tah a boeipa taengla a puen pah. Te vaengah imkung tah kosi a hong tih a sal te , ' Khopuei kah toltung neh imhlai laklo ah a loe la cet lamtah, khodaeng, a kut a kho aka ngun, mikdael, aka khaem te pahoi hang khuen ,’ a ti nah .
22‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
22Sal loh , ' Boeipa, nan tueih bangla ka saii coeng dae a hmuen om pueng ,’ a ti nah .
23So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
23Te dongah boei loh sal taengah , ' Khohla longpuei neh vongtung taengah khaw cet lamtah ha kun ham tanolh dae, te daengah ni ka im ah hlang a bae eh .
24For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
24Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng, ka khue hlang rhoek loh kai kah hlaembuh ten uh boel saeh ,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
25Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
25Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a puei hatah, amih taengla mael tih,
26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
26“ Khat khat te kai taengla ha lo vaengah a napa neh a manu, a yuu neh a ca, pacaboeina neh tanu takhong, amah kah a hinglu khaw a toeng thil bal pawt atah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih .
27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
27Amah kah thinglam a koh pawt ah kai hnukla aka lo te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih .
28Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
28Nangmih khui lamkah loh imsang sak ham aka ngaih te unim? Lamhma la ngol tih a hnonah te a tae moenih a? Imcoeng ham khueh mai cakhaw ?
29Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
29A khoengim a sut tih coeng thai pawt koinih aka hmu boeih loh anih te pahoi a tamdaeng ni .
30saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
30hlang loh sak hamla a tong dae a coeng thai moenih ,’ a ti uh ta .
31Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
31Mebang manghai khaw manghai pakhat te a noem tih ni caem la a caeh. Te vaengah ngol lamhma tih a doe ham te thawng rha a om thai atah anih te thawng kul neh paan thil ham a moeh moenih a?
32And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
32Te pawt koinih voelh a om vaengah rhoepnah ham laipai a tueih vetih a dawt ni .
33In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
33Te dongah nangmih boeih khaw, a khuehtawn boeih aka hlah pawt te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih .
34Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
34Lungkaeh khaw tui, tedae lungkaeh te khaw a dap atah ba nen lae a hlihlim sak eh?
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35Laimen ham khaw om pawt tih, aek lam khaw hoeikhang laklo pawt dongah phawn a voeih uh. Yaak nah hna aka khueh rhoek loh yaa uh,” a ti nah.
