Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
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.
2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
2Amtueng thaih han ai ah khuk ih hmuen tidoeh om ai; panoek thaih han ai ah, hawk ih hmuen tidoeh om mak ai.
3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
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.
4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
4Ampuinawk kang thuih o, Takpum paduek pacoengah, tidoeh sah thai ai kaminawk to zii o hmah.
5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
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.
6Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
6Parit tavaa pangato phoisa hnetto hoiah zawh o na ai maw? Toe hnetto thung ih maeto mataeng doeh Sithaw mah pahnet ai.
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
7Na lu nui ih sam mataeng doeh kroek boih. To pongah zii o hmah: nangcae loe parit tavaa pongah atho na oh o kue.
8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
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:
9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied 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.
10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
10Mi kawbaktih doeh kami Capa kasae thui kami loe, tahmenhaih om tih: toe Kacai Muithla kasae thui kami loe tahmenhaih om mak ai.
11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
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:
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
12to atue nathuem roe ah na thuih han ih lok to Kacai Muithla mah na patuk tih, tiah a naa.
13¶ And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
13Amkhueng kaminawk thung ih maeto mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, kam nawk mah qawk ang pazet hanah na thui paeh, tiah a naa.
14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
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.
15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
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.
16And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
16To pacoengah anih mah hae patahhaih lok hae nihcae khaeah thuih pae: angraeng maeto ih lawk loe thingthai qumpo paroeai tacawt:
17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
17to pongah anih mah palung thungah, Thingthai qumpo suekhaih ahmuen ka tawn ai boeh, timaw ka sak han? tiah a poek.
18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
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.
19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
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.
20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
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.
21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
21Angmah taham ah hmuenmae patung kami loe to tiah oh, anih loe Sithaw ah angraeng kami na ai ni, tiah a naa.
22¶ And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
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.
23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
23Hinghaih loe caaknaek pongah lokpui kue, takpum loe khukbuen pongah lokpui kue.
24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
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?
25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
25Nangcae thungah mi mah maw mawnh pongah a hinghaih dong maeto thap thaih?
26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
26Hmuen tetta mataeng doeh na sah o thai ai to mah, tipongah kalah hmuennawk pongah mawnhaih na tawnh o loe?
27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
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.
28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
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?
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
29Timaw ka caak moe, ka naek han, tiah pakrong o hmah, palunghaenghaih doeh tawn o hmah.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
30Long kaminawk mah ni to baktih hmuennawk to pakrong o: hae hmuennawk nang toeng o, tito nangcae Ampa mah panoek.
31¶ But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
31Toe nangcae loe Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae to pakrong oh; hae hmuennawk boih hae na thap pae tih.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
32Tamsi tuucaanawk, zii o hmah; nangcae Ampa mah prae to nangcae khae paek han koeh.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
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.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
34Na hmuenmae ohhaih ahmuen ah, na palungthin doeh om tih.
35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
35Kaengkaeh angzaeng oh loe, hmaiim pa-aang o coek ah;
36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
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.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
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.
38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
38Atue hnetto naah maw, to tih ai boeh loe thumto naah maw, angraeng angzoh naah a mikhnuk ah amsakcoek tamnanawk loe tahamhoih o.
39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
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.
40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
40To pongah nangcae doeh amsak o coek ah: Kami Capa loe na poek o ai ih atue ah angzo tih, tiah a naa.
41¶ Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
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.
42And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
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?
43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
43Angmah ih angraeng angzoh naah a mikhnuk ah toksah, tamna loe tahamhoih.
44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
44Loktang kang thuih o, to kami loe angraeng mah tawnh ih hmuennawk boih nuiah ukkung ah suem tih.
45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
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,
46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him , and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
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.
47And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes .
47Angmah ih angraeng koehhaih to panoek, toe amsakcoek ai, angraeng koehhaih baktiah toksah ai tamna loe, bop pak palak tih.
48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
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.
49¶ I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
49Long nuiah hmai pakhrak han ih ni kang zoh; hmai kangh boih ai ah loe ka koehhaih akoep ai.
50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
50Toe tuinuemhaih paek hanah ka tawn vop; to tiah akoep ai karoek to kawkrukmaw ka patang vop tih!
51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
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:
52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
52vaihi hoi kamtong pangato kaom imthung takoh to ampraek o tih, thumto hoi hnetto, hnetto hoi thumto misa ah angcoeng o tih.
53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the 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.
53Ampa hoi a capa, amno hoi a canu, amni hoi langah, misa ah angcoeng o ueloe, ampraek o tih, tiah a naa.
54¶ And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
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.
55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
55Aloih bang ih takhi song naah loe, nangcae mah, Bae tih, tiah na thuih o; na thuih o ih baktih toengah oh.
56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
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?
57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
57Ue, tipongah katoeng hmuen sak hanah na panoek o thai ai loe?
58¶ When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
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.
59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
59Kang thuih o, rong han koi laiba na kii o ai karoek to na loih o mak ai, tiah a naa.
