1Hlangping a thawng a sang te tingtun uh tih khat neh khat taelh uh thae. Lamhma kah a hnukbang rhoek te, “ Tolrhu te na ngaithuen uh mako, te tah Pharisee kah thailatnah ni .
1Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2Te dongah phah la aka om te tah pumphoe mueh pawt tih a huephael te khaw a ming mueh moenih .
2But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
3Te yueng la a hmuep ah na thui uh te vangnah khuiah a yaak ni. Imkhui kah a hna ah na thui uh te khaw imphu ah a hoe ni .
3Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4Ka paya rhoek nangmih taengah ka thui coeng. Pumsa te a ngawn uh dae, te phoeiah saithainah pakhat khaw aka khueh pawt te rhih uh boeh .
4“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5Tedae na rhih uh te kan tueng eh. Pum te a ngawn phoeiah hell la voeih ham saithainah aka khueh te rhih uh. Ue ta, nangmih taengah anih la rhih uh ka ti loel .
5But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
6Vahnup phiknga te pe hnih la a yoih uh moenih a? Te rhoek te pakhat khaw Pathen hmaiah a hmaai a om moenih .
6“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins ? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7Na lu kah sam pataeng boeih a tae coeng. Rhih uh boeh, vahnup lakah muep na tiing uh ngai .
7But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8Nangmih taengah ka thui, kai kawng he hlang hmaiah aka phong boeih te tah hlang capa loh anih te Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah a phong van ni .
8“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
9Tedae hlang hmaiah kai aka hnawt tah Pathen puencawn rhoek hmaiah ka huek uh tak ni .
9but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
10Hlang capa te ol aka tha thil boeih te tah tholh a hlah pah pueng ni. Tedae Cim Mueihla taengah aka soehsal te tah tholh hlah pah mahpawh .
10Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11Nangmih te tunim la, boeilu rhoek neh saithainah aka khueh taengla n'khuen uh ni. Te vaengah metla na huul uh vetih ba na thui uh ham khaw mawn uh boeh .
11When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
12Thui ham a kuek te tah amah tue vaengah Cim Mueihla loh nangmih n'thuituen bitni,” a ti nah.
12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
13Hlangping khuikah pakhat loh Jesuh te, “Saya, ka manuca te thui pah lamtah kai hamla rho ham paek,” a ti nah.
13One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14Tedae Jesuh loh anih te, “ Ka hlang aw, nangmih rhoi soah laitloekkung ham neh tultaelkung la u long kai n'tuek,” a ti nah.
14But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15Te phoeiah amih te, “ Halhkanah te boeih hmuming uh lamtah cue uh. A khuehtawn om dae a hingnah pakhat khaw a cawt moenih,” a ti nah.
15He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah a thui tih, “ Kuirhang hlang pakhat kah lo te cang a thawt pah .
16He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17Tedae amah khuiah a poek tih , ' Ka cang thaih he, ka tung nah ka khueh pawt dongah banim ka saii lah ve ,’ a ti .
17He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
18Te phoeiah , ' He tla ka saii eh?, ka khai te ka phae vetih a len la ka saii eh?, te ah te ka cang neh ka koe te boeih ka tung eh .
18He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19Te phoeiah ka hinglu te , ' Ka hinglu nang, kum a sen ham koe muep na khueh coeng dongah duem lamtah, ca lamtah, o lamtah, uum laeh , ' ka ti nah ni ,’ a ti .
19I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20Tedae anih te Pathen loh , ' Hlang ang, tu khoyin ah na hinglu te nang taeng lamkah loh a lat pawn ni. Tahae kah na hmoel te uham nim a om ve? ' a ti nah .
20“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21Te dongah anih loh amah ham a tung dae a khuehtawn loh Pathen taengla a pawk puei moenih,” a ti nah.
21So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “ He dongah ni nangmih taengah ka thui, na caak uh te khaw, pum dongah na bai uh ham te khaw, na hinglu mawn sak uh boeh .
22He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23hinglu tah buh lakah, pum he khaw himbai lakah olpuei la om .
23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24Vangak ke poek uh lah, tuh uh pawt tih at uh pawh, a im khaw, khai khaw khueh uh pawt dae Pathen loh amih te a khut. Nangmih tah vaa lakah muep na olpuei uh .
24Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25Nangmih khuiah unim aka mawn tih a hinglung te dong at khaw aka cong thil thai ?
25Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26A yit dongah na coeng uh pawt atah, ba ham lae a tloe dongah na mawn uh .
26If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27Hmat uh lah, rhaipai ke metlam a rhoeng, thakthae pawt tih cunghmui khaw hnuk pawh. Tedae nangmih taengah ka thui, Solomon loh a thangpomnah boeih neh rhaipai pakhat banglam pataeng a bai sak moenih .
27Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28Tihnin ah om tih thangvuen ah hmailing khuila a phum lohma kah khopol pataeng Pathen loh a thoeihcam atah nangmih te muep na uepvawt aih mai
28But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29Te dongah nangmih loh na caak ham neh na ok te toem uh boeh uepvawt uh boeh .
29“Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30Diklai namtom boeih loh te te a tlap uh. Tedae nangmih kah na kuek te pa loh a ming coeng .
30For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31A ram te tlap uh dae lamtah tekah te nangmih ham han thap bitni .
31But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
32A ram te nangmih paek ham na pa a lung a tlun coeng dongah, tuping ca aw, birhih boeh .
32“Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33Na khuehtawn te yoi uh lamtah, doedannah la pae uh, aka rhuem pawh sungkoi te namamih ham saii uh. khohrhang he vaan ah tah cueng. Te ah te hlanghuen loh muk pawt tih, keet long khaw phae pawh .
33Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34Na khohrhang a om nah ah na thinko khaw pahoi om ni .
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35Na pumpu te yen tangtae la om saeh lamtah hmaiim khaw vang saeh .
35“Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
36Te phoeiah yuluei kung lamkah aka bal a boeipa aka lamtawn hlang rhoek bangla na om uh mako. Te daengah ni ha lo tih a khoek vaengah anih ham pahoi a ong pa thai eh .
36Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37Boei ha lo vaengah hmuh hamla aka hueltue rhoek tah sal yoethen ni. Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, amih te cihin a vaep tih a ngolhlung dongah aka pongpa rhoek loh amih te a khut .
37Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38Pathum, pabae la ha pawk vaengah aka tawt te a hmuh tangloeng dongah amih tah yoethen la om uh .
38They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
39Tedae he he ming uh, hlanghuen ha pawk nah khonoek te imkung loh ming koinih, a im te muk hamla hlah sut pawt sue .
39But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40Te dongah nangmih loh sikim la om uh, hlang capa tah na poek uh pawt tue ah ni ha pawk eh?,” a ti nah.
40Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41Peter loh, “Boeipa, he nuettahnah he kaimih ham a? Hlang boeih ham khaw na thui a?” a ti nah.
41Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42Boeipa loh, “ Unim uepom neh aka cueih hnokhoem la aka om van? Boeipa loh anih te a imlo soah a tue a tang neh maehham aka tael la a khueh ni .
42The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43Tekah sal tah a yoethen, a saii te a Boeipa ha pawk vaengah a hmuh pah van ni .
43Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, a khuehtawn boeih soah anih ni a ngol sak eh .
44Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
45Tedae tekah sal loh a thinko khuiah , ' Ka boeipa ha pawk ham tah koe pueng ni,” a ti. Te dongah salnu camoe te koe a boh tih a caak, a ok neh rhui .
45But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
46Sal kah a boei tah a lamtawn mueh khohnin neh a ming mueh a tue vaengah ha pawk koinih, anih te a tloek vetih a paihmuen te aka tangnahmuen rhoek taengla a khueh pah ni .
46then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47Tekah sal loh a Boeipa kah kongaih a ming dae, rhuengphong pawt tih amah kongaih bangla a saii dongah a boh dahlawt ni .
47That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48Tedae aka ming pawt loh a saii atah nganboh a yook ham tueng te a yool ni a boh eh. A yet a paek hlang boeih te tah a taengah a yet a toem pah vetih, muep a paek hlang taengah khaw muep a hoe pah ni .
48but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49Diklai dongah hmai pak hamla ka pawk coeng dongah, metla hlae oepsoeh cakhaw ka ngaih mai coeng .
49“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50Baptistma khaw nuem hamla ka om pueng tih, ka coeng hlan atah metlamnim n'nan ve .
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51Diklai ah rhoepnah paek ham ka pawk tila na poek uh a? Moenih ta, nangmih taengah ka thui, paekboenah ham dae ni he .
51Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52Tahae lamkah longtah im pakhat ah panga la paek uh thae vetih, panit pathum, panit pathum ah om uh ni .
52For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53Pa neh capa, capa neh pa, manu neh canu, canu neh manu, mani neh a langa, langa neh mani paekboe uh ni,” a ti nah.
53They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54Te phoeiah hlangping te khaw, “ Khotlak ah khomai a thoeng te na hmuh uh vaengah , ' Khonal ha pai ni , ' pahoi na ti uh tih pai tangloeng van .
54He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
55Tuithim a hli vaengah , “ Kholing ha pai ni ,” na ti uh tih pai tangloeng .
55When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
56Hlangthai palat rhoek, diklai neh vaan kah maelhmai ke soepsoei ham na ming uh tih a tue he balae tih soepsoei ham na ming uh pawh .
56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57Namamih ham khaw balae tih a dueng la lai na tloek uh pawh .
57“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58Na kocaelh neh boei taengla na caeh vaengah anih te a paa nah hamla longpueng ah bi saii laeh, laitloekkung taengla namah n'det ve. Laitloekkung loh namah te palik taengla m'voei vetih ' palik loh thongim ah n'hla ve .
58For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59Na taengah kan thui, mucih ca khaw boeih na thuung hlan atah te lamkah loh na loeih loengloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
59I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny. ”
