Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1To tiah kroek laek ai kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o moe, maeto hoi maeto ang et o naah, anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, Hmaloe koekah, angsah thaih Farasinawk ih taeh thung hoiah acoe oh.
1And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2Amtueng thaih han ai ah khuk ih hmuen tidoeh om ai; panoek thaih han ai ah, hawk ih hmuen tidoeh om mak ai.
2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.
3To pongah khoving ah na thuih o ih lok to khodai ah thaih o tih; imthung ah naa ah thuih duem ih lok to imphu nuiah taphong o tih.
3For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.
4Ampuinawk kang thuih o, Takpum paduek pacoengah, tidoeh sah thai ai kaminawk to zii o hmah.
4And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5Toe na zit o han koi to kang thuih o coek han: a hum pacoengah, hell thungah va thaih, Anih to zii oh; ue, kang thuih o, Anih to zii oh.
5But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.
6Parit tavaa pangato phoisa hnetto hoiah zawh o na ai maw? Toe hnetto thung ih maeto mataeng doeh Sithaw mah pahnet ai.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7Na lu nui ih sam mataeng doeh kroek boih. To pongah zii o hmah: nangcae loe parit tavaa pongah atho na oh o kue.
7Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
8Kang thuih o, Mi kawbaktih doeh kaminawk hmaa ah kai angdoe haih kami loe, Sithaw ih van kaminawk hmaa ah kami Capa mah anih to angdoe haih toeng tih:
8And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
9toe kaminawk hmaa ah kai pahnawt kami loe, Sithaw ih van kaminawk hmaa ah anih to ka pahnawt toeng han.
9But he that shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10Mi kawbaktih doeh kami Capa kasae thui kami loe, tahmenhaih om tih: toe Kacai Muithla kasae thui kami loe tahmenhaih om mak ai.
10And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11Sineko ah lokcaek kaminawk hoi ukkungnawk hmaa ah ang hoih o naah, kawbangmaw lok ka pathim han, to tih ai boeh loe timaw ka pathim han, to tih ai boeh loe timaw ka thuih han, tito mawn o hmah:
11And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, and to magistrates and powers, be not solicitous how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
12to atue nathuem roe ah na thuih han ih lok to Kacai Muithla mah na patuk tih, tiah a naa.
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you must say.
13Amkhueng kaminawk thung ih maeto mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, kam nawk mah qawk ang pazet hanah na thui paeh, tiah a naa.
13And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me.
14Toe Anih mah to kami khaeah, Kami, mi mah maw nanghnik salakah lokcaek han ih, to tih ai boeh loe qawk pazet hanah ang suek? tiah a naa.
14But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge, or divider, over you?
15Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Acoe oh, kamthlai hmoek koehhaih to ayae oh: kami hinghaih loe a tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk nuiah amha ai, tiah a naa.
15And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth.
16To pacoengah anih mah hae patahhaih lok hae nihcae khaeah thuih pae: angraeng maeto ih lawk loe thingthai qumpo paroeai tacawt:
16And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
17to pongah anih mah palung thungah, Thingthai qumpo suekhaih ahmuen ka tawn ai boeh, timaw ka sak han? tiah a poek.
17And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18To pacoengah anih mah, Hae tiah ka sak han: tapupnawk to ka phraek moe, kalen kueah ka sak han; to ahmuen ah thingthai qumpo hoi hmuenmaenawk to ka suek boih han, tiah a thuih.
18And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
19Ka hinghaih pakhra khaeah, Kahing pakhra, saning kasawk ah patoh hanah hmuenmaenawk na patung mang boeh; kamongah om ah loe, caa ah, nae ah loe, kanawm ah khosah ah, tiah ka naa han, tiah a poek.
19And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
20Toe Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Nang kamthu, vai qum ah na hinghaih pakhra to dueh tih boeh: duek pacoengah to hmuenmaenawk to mi mah maw toep tih, tiah a naa.
20But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21Angmah taham ah hmuenmae patung kami loe to tiah oh, anih loe Sithaw ah angraeng kami na ai ni, tiah a naa.
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22Anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah, To pongah kang thuih o, Timaw ka caak han; takpum hanah, timaw kang khuk han, tiah na hing hanah mawn o hmah.
22And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
23Hinghaih loe caaknaek pongah lokpui kue, takpum loe khukbuen pongah lokpui kue.
23The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment.
24Pangaahnawk to poek o noek ah: nihcae loe cangti haeh o ai, cang doeh aat o ai; cang suekhaih im hoi tapup doeh tawn o ai; toe Sithaw mah nihcae to pacah: nangcae loe tavaanawk pongah atho na oh o kue na ai maw?
24Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
25Nangcae thungah mi mah maw mawnh pongah a hinghaih dong maeto thap thaih?
25And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
26Hmuen tetta mataeng doeh na sah o thai ai to mah, tipongah kalah hmuennawk pongah mawnhaih na tawnh o loe?
26If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
27Lily pawknawk kawbangmaw qoeng o tahang, tito poek o noek ah: nihcae loe toksah o ai, pathlah doeh kae o ai; toe kang thuih o, Solomon mah a lensawkhaih boih hoi amthoep naah hae apawk thung ih apawk maeto mataeng doeh pha ai vop.
27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
28Vaihni loe lawk ah oh, khawnbang ah loe hmai thungah vah han kaom, phroh mataeng doeh Sithaw mah to tih khoek to khukbuen hoiah pathoep nahaeloe; Aw tanghaih tamsi kaminawk, nangcae taoe cae loe kawkruk maw anih mah khukbuen hoiah pathoep tih?
28Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith?
29Timaw ka caak moe, ka naek han, tiah pakrong o hmah, palunghaenghaih doeh tawn o hmah.
29And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
30Long kaminawk mah ni to baktih hmuennawk to pakrong o: hae hmuennawk nang toeng o, tito nangcae Ampa mah panoek.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
31Toe nangcae loe Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae to pakrong oh; hae hmuennawk boih hae na thap pae tih.
31But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
32Tamsi tuucaanawk, zii o hmah; nangcae Ampa mah prae to nangcae khae paek han koeh.
32Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.
33Na tawnh o ih hmuennawk to zaw oh loe, kamtang kaminawk khaeah paek oh; nangmacae hanah kaprawn thai ai phoisa bawm to sah oh, kamro thai ai, kamqu mah pha thai ai moe, karaa mah doeh caa thai ai, van prae ah tangka to patung oh.
33Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.
34Na hmuenmae ohhaih ahmuen ah, na palungthin doeh om tih.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35Kaengkaeh angzaeng oh loe, hmaiim pa-aang o coek ah;
35Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.
36Anih angzoh moe, thok takhuek naah, nihcae mah anih han thok paong pae phrat hanah, zu paluemhaih poihkung hoiah kamlaem, angmacae ih angraeng kazing kaminawk baktiah om oh.
36And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.
37Angraeng angzoh naah iip ai ah kazing tamnanawk loe tahamhoih o: loktang kang thuih o, anih loe kaengkaeh angzaeng ueloe, buhcaak hanah nihcae to anghnusak tih, anih loe angzo ueloe, nihcae to caaknaek paek tih.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.
38Atue hnetto naah maw, to tih ai boeh loe thumto naah maw, angraeng angzoh naah a mikhnuk ah amsakcoek tamnanawk loe tahamhoih o.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39Toe hae hae panoek oh, im tawnkung mah natuek naah maw kamqu angzo tih, tiah panoek nahaeloe, a im amrosak han ai ah, anih mah toep tih.
39But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
40To pongah nangcae doeh amsak o coek ah: Kami Capa loe na poek o ai ih atue ah angzo tih, tiah a naa.
40Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.
41Piter mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, na thuih ih patahhaih lok loe kaicae han ih maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaminawk boih han ih? tiah a naa.
41And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
42Angraeng mah, Atue mah phak naah kalah tamnanawk to buh pacah moe, angraeng mah imthung ukkung ah suek han ih oep kaom palungha im khenzawnkung loe mi maw?
42And the Lord said: Who (thinkest thou) is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord setteth over his family, to give them their measure of wheat in due season?
43Angmah ih angraeng angzoh naah a mikhnuk ah toksah, tamna loe tahamhoih.
43Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing.
44Loktang kang thuih o, to kami loe angraeng mah tawnh ih hmuennawk boih nuiah ukkung ah suem tih.
44Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth.
45Toe to tamna mah, Ka angraeng loe angzo hnai mak ai, tiah a palung thung hoiah poek moe, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to a boh, a naek moe, a caak pacoengah, mu paqui nahaeloe,
45But if that servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk:
46to tamna ih angraeng loe anih mah poek ai ih ani, panoek ai ih niah angzo tih, anih to takroek pat ueloe, tanghaih tawn ai kaminawk hoi nawnto a hak han koi ahmuen to paek tih.
46The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not, and shall separate him, and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers.
47Angmah ih angraeng koehhaih to panoek, toe amsakcoek ai, angraeng koehhaih baktiah toksah ai tamna loe, bop pak palak tih.
47And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48Toe angraeng koehhaih sak han panoek ai pongah hmuen sah pazae tamna loe, kana parai ah bop mak ai. Mi kawbaktih doeh kapop ah paek ih kami khaeah, kapop ah hni tih: kapop ah ap ih kami khaeah, kapop kue ah hni o tih.
48But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49Long nuiah hmai pakhrak han ih ni kang zoh; hmai kangh boih ai ah loe ka koehhaih akoep ai.
49I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?
50Toe tuinuemhaih paek hanah ka tawn vop; to tiah akoep ai karoek to kawkrukmaw ka patang vop tih!
50And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized: and how am I straitened until it be accomplished?
51Long nuiah angdaehhaih ohsak hanah kang zoh, tiah na poek o maw? Kang thuih o, to tiah na ai ni; tapraek han ih ni kang zoh:
51Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.
52vaihi hoi kamtong pangato kaom imthung takoh to ampraek o tih, thumto hoi hnetto, hnetto hoi thumto misa ah angcoeng o tih.
52For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.
53Ampa hoi a capa, amno hoi a canu, amni hoi langah, misa ah angcoeng o ueloe, ampraek o tih, tiah a naa.
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father, the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother, the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54Anih mah kaminawk khaeah, Niduem bang hoi angthawk tahang tamai to na hnuk o naah, nangcae mah, Kho angzo tih, tiah na thuih o; na thuih o ih baktih toengah, kho angzoh.
54And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming: and so it happeneth:
55Aloih bang ih takhi song naah loe, nangcae mah, Bae tih, tiah na thuih o; na thuih o ih baktih toengah oh.
55And when ye see the south wind blow, you say: There will be heat: and it cometh to pass.
56Nangcae angsah thaih kaminawk! Van hoi long hma ah kaom hmuen kawng loe na panoek o; toe tikhoe vaihi thuem ah kaom atue loe na panoek o ai loe?
56You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?
57Ue, tipongah katoeng hmuen sak hanah na panoek o thai ai loe?
57And why even of yourselves, do you not judge that which is just?
58Na misa hoi nawnto lokcaekhaih im ah na caeh hoi naah, loklam ah anih hoi angdaehhaih to sah ah; to tih ai nahaeloe anih mah lokcaekkung khaeah na hoi tih, lokcaekkung mah angraeng khaeah na caeh haih ueloe, angraeng mah thongim thungah na va tih.
58And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison.
59Kang thuih o, rong han koi laiba na kii o ai karoek to na loih o mak ai, tiah a naa.
59I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence, until thou pay the very last mite.
