Luka 19
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Jesu loe Jeriko vangpui ah akun moe, to avang hoiah caeh poe.
1Then Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
2Khenah, to avang ah Zakiah, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto oh, anih loe tamut cong kaminawk ukkung ah oh pongah, angraeng parai.
2And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy.
3Jesu loe mi maw, tito hnuk han a koeh; toe anih loe ahnaem daek pongah, kaminawk salak hoiah Jesu to hnu thai ai.
3He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature.
4Zakiah loe Jesu angzohhaih loklam hma ah cawnh moe, Jesu hnuk hanah thaiduet kung ah dawh.
4So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.
5Jesu to ahmuen ah phak naah, a khet tahang, to naah Zakiah to a hnuk, anih khaeah, Zakiah, karangah, anghum tathuk ah; vaihniah na im ah ka toem han, tiah a naa.
5When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.”
6Zakiah loe karangah anghum tathuk moe, anghoehaih hoiah anih to toemsak.
6So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully.
7Kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, Anih loe kami zae im ah toem han a caeh, tiah laisaep o thuih.
7And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!”
8Zakiah loe angdoet moe, Angraeng khaeah, Khenah, Angraeng, ka tawnh ih hmuen ahap kamtang kaminawk hanah ka paek; katoeng ai ah kaminawk ih hmuenmae ka lak pae nahaeloe, alet palito ka pathok han, tiah a naa.
8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.”
9Jesu mah anih khaeah, Vaihniah hae imthung ah pahlonghaih phak boeh, anih doeh Abraham ih capa toeng ni.
9Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.
10Kami Capa loe kanghmaa kami to pakrong moe, pahlong han ih ni angzoh, tiah a naa.
10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11Kaminawk mah a thuih ih loknawk to tahngaih pae o, Jerusalem a phak o tom boeh moe, kaminawk mah doeh Sithaw ukhaih prae to amtueng roep tih boeh, tiah poek o pongah, patahhaih lok to a thuih pae.
11While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.
12Nihcae khaeah, Angraeng capa maeto loe siangpahrang ah oh han koeh pongah, amlaem let hanah kholong kangthla ah caeh.
12So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
13Anih mah a tamna hato kawk moe, nihcae hanah mina phoisa hato paek, nihcae khaeah, Kam laem let ai karoek to toksah o haih ah, tiah a naa.
13Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
14Toe angmah ih prae kaminawk mah anih to hnukma o, Hae kami loe kaicae ukkung ah ohsak han ka koeh o ai, tiah anih khaeah laicaeh patoeh o.
14But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’
15Anih amlaem naah loe, prae ukkung ah a oh, to pacoengah kami maeto mah phoisa hoi toksak naah kamek nazetto maw hnuk o, tiah panoek thai hanah, phoisa a paek ih tamnanawk to angmah khaeah kawk.
15When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.
16Hmaloe koek kami loe angzoh moe, Angraeng, na phoisa loe alet hato pung, tiah a naa.
16The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’
17Anih mah to kami khaeah, Tamna kahoih, tok na sak thaih: hmuen tetta nuiah oepthoh pongah, vangpui hato uk ah, tiah a naa.
17His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18Hnetto haih tamna loe angzoh moe, Angraeng, na phoisa alet pangato pung, tiah a naa.
18The second servant came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
19Anih mah to kami khaeah doeh, Vangpui pangato uk hanah, to tiah a naa.
19And to this one he said, ‘You shall have authority over five cities.’
20Kalah tamna loe angzoh moe, Angraeng, khenah, na phoisa loe pavawh hoiah ka tapawk moe, ka suek sut:
20Then another servant came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have laid away in a piece of cloth.
21nang loe kacip parai kami ah na oh pongah, kang zit: nang loe na suem ai ih ahmuen ah na lak moe, na patit ai ih ahmuen ah na aah, tiah a naa.
21For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’
22To naah Anih mah to kami khaeah, Nang tamna kasae, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah lok kang caek han. Kai loe kacip parai kami ah ka oh, ka suem ai ih ahmuen ah ka lak moe, ka patit ai ih ahmuen ah ka aah, tito na panoek tangak:
22His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
23kang zoh let naah kangpung phoisa to ka lak hanah, tikhoe phoisa to phoisa athlaeng kami khaeah na suem ai loe? tiah a naa.
23Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
24Anih mah a taengah angdoe kaminawk khaeah, Anih khae ih phoisa to la oh loe, phoisa hato tawn kami khaeah paek oh, tiah a naa.
24Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25(Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, anih loe phoisa hato tawnh boeh, tiah a naa o.)
25‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26Kang thuih o, Katawn kami hanah loe paek let bae vop tih; katawn ai kami loe, a tawnh ih hmuen mataeng doeh la pae ving tih, tiah a naa.
26He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
27Toe ka ukhaih koeh ai ka misanawk to haeah hoi oh loe, nihcae to ka hmaa ah hum oh, tiah naa tih, tiah a thuih pae.
27And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
28Hae lokthuih pacoengah, anih Jerusalem ah caeh.
28After Jesus had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29Bethphage hoi Bethani vangpui to phak tom boeh moe, Olive tiah kawk ih mae to phak o naah, anih mah hnukbang kami hnik to patoeh,
29As He approached Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent out two of His disciples,
30nihnik khaeah, Na hma ih avang ah caeh hoih, avang thung na kun hoi naah, mi mah doeh angthueng vai ai, paeh ih laa hrang acaa to na hnu hoi tih: khram hoih loe laa hrang to haeah ze hoih.
30saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
31Mi kawbaktih mah doeh nang hnik khaeah, Tih han ih laa hrang to na khram hoi loe? tiah dueng nahaeloe, anih khaeah, Angraeng mah laa hrang angtoeng, tiah thui pae hoih, tiah a naa.
31If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32Patoeh ih kami hnik loe caeh hoi naah, anih mah nihnik khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah a hnuk hoi.
32So those who were sent went out and found it just as Jesus had told them.
33Laa hrang to a khram hoi li naah, tawnkung mah nihnik khaeah, Tih han ih laa hrang acaa to na khram hoi loe? tiah a naa.
33As they were untying the colt, its owners asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34To naah nihnik mah, Angraeng mah laa hrang angtoeng, tiah a naa hoi.
34“The Lord needs it,” they answered.
35Nihnik mah laa hrang to Jesu khaeah zeh hoi pacoengah, nihcae mah laa hrang acaa nuiah kahni padap pae o moe, Jesus to a nuiah angthueng o sak.
35Then they led the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks over it, and put Jesus on it.
36Anih caehhaih loklam ah, paroeai kaminawk mah angmacae ih kahni to baih o.
36As He rode along, the people spread their cloaks on the road.
37Anih Olive mae tamthuk phak tom naah loe, a hnuk o ih dawnrai hmuenawk boih pongah pop parai a hnukbang kaminawk mah anghoehaih hoiah Sithaw ih ahmin to saphaw o;
37And as He approached the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to praise God joyfully in a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
38Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah angzo Siangpahrang loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe: van prae ah angdaehhaih om nasoe, sang koek ah lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah a hang o.
38“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39Pop parai kaminawk salakah kaom thoemto Farasinawk mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang hnukbang kaminawk to thuitaek ah, tiah a naa o.
39But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
40Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kang thuih o, nihcae hang ai ah anghngai o duem nahaeloe, thlungnawk hae hang o roep tih, tiah a naa.
40“I tell you,” He answered, “if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.”
41Jesu loe Jerusalem phak tom boeh, anih mah vangpui to khet moe, qah haih,
41As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it
42nang vangpui, hae nangmah ih niah, nang han monghaih sinkung, na panoek nahaeloe hoi tih, toe vaihi loe na mik ah hmuennawk amtueng han ai ah hawk ving boeh.
42and said, “If only you had known on this day what would bring you peace! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43Na misanawk mah ahnuk ahma, ang takui o khoep moe, ahmuen kruekah ang ven o khoephaih atue to pha tih.
43For the days will come upon you when your enemies will barricade you and surround you and hem you in on every side.
44Nangmah hoi na caanawk to long ah va o tih, nang khaeah angzohhaih atue to na panoek ai pongah, nihcae mah na nuiah maeto pacoeng maeto kamhong thlung to anghmat o sak mak ai, tiah a naa.
44They will level you to the ground—you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
45To pacoengah anih loe tempul thungah caeh moe, hmuenmae zawh moe, qan kaminawk to a haek.
45Then Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling there.
46Nihcae khaeah, Ka im loe lawkthuihaih im ah oh, tiah tarik ih oh: toe nangcae mah loe kamqunawk ohhaih ahmuen ah na sak o, tiah a naa.
46He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47Anih loe tempul thungah nithokkruek kaminawk to patuk. Toe kalen koek qaima, ca tarik kaminawk hoi kami zaehoikungnawk mah hum hanah anih to pakrong o,
47Jesus was teaching at the temple every day, but the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people were intent on killing Him.
48toe a thuih ih lok to kaminawk boih mah tahngai o pongah, hum han atue kahoih hnu o thai ai.
48Yet they could not find a way to do so, because all the people hung on His words.
