Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
1Aicae salakah kaom tangtang hmuen kawng thuihaih maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah suek hanah paroeai ca tarik kaminawk oh o boeh,
2Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
2nihcae loe tangsuek na hoi hnukung ah oh o, tamthanglok toksah kaminawk mah, aicae khae thuih ih lok baktih toengah;
3It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
3kahoih koek Theophila, tangsuek na hoi kaom hmuennawk to kakoep ah thaikop boih moe, hmuen kaom maeto pacoeng maeto kamtomh poe ah, nangcae khaeah tarik nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh,
4That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
4to tiah ni ang patuk o ih lok to kahoihah na panoek o tih.
5¶ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
5Judea siangpahrang, Herod dung ah, Zakaria, tiah ahmin kaom qaima maeto oh, anih loe Abijah ih acaeng ah oh moe, a zu Elizabeth loe Aaron ih acaeng ah oh.
6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
6Nihnik loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah oh hoi moe, Angraeng mah paek ih kaalok hoi sak han koi toknawk boih coek koi kaom ai ah a sak hoi.
7And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
7Elizabeth loe caa kak pongah nawkta tawn hoi ai, nihnik loe saning coeh hoi parai boeh.
8And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
8Anih mah angmah ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw hmaa ah qaima toksakhaih tue phak naah,
9According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
9qaimanawk mah sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, Angraeng tempul thungah akun moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih loe anih ih tok ah oh.
10And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
10Hmuihoih thlaek nathuem ah, paroeai kaminawk loe tasa bangah lawkthuih o.
11And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
11To naah anih khaeah Angraeng ih van kami maeto amtueng moe, hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam bantang bangah angdoet pae.
12And when Zacharias saw him , he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
12Zakaria mah anih to hnuk naah zit moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh.
13But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
13Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Zakaria, zii hmah: na lawkthuihaih Sithaw mah thaih boeh; na zu Elizabeth mah capa maeto na sah pae tih, anih ih ahmin to Johan, tiah sak han oh.
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
14Anghoehaih hoi oephaih to na tawn tih; anih tapen pongah paroeai kaminawk loe anghoe o tih.
15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
15Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kalen ah om ueloe, misurtui hoi paqui thaih koi hmuen roe nae mak ai; anih loe amno zok thung hoi kamtong Kacai Muithla hoiah koi tih.
16And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
16Anih mah paroeai Israel kaminawk to angmacae ih Angraeng khaeah angqoisak tih.
17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
17Anih mah ampanawk ih palungthin to a caanawk khaeah angqoisak tih, lok tahngai ai kaminawk to katoeng kaminawk ih palunghahaih loklam bangah angqoisak ueloe, Angraeng hanah kaminawk omsak coek tih, anih loe Elijah ih palungthin, thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng hmaa ah caeh tih, tiah a naa.
18And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
18Zakaria mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? Kai loe mitong boeh moe, ka zu doeh mitong boeh, tiah a naa.
19And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
19To naah van kami mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw hmaa ah angdoe, Gabriel ah ka oh; lok kang thuih moe, kahoih hae anghoehaih tamthangnawk patuek han ih ni nang khaeah ang patoeh.
20And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
20Khenah, atue phak naah akoep han koi kang thuih ih loknawk to na tang ai pongah, hae hmuennawk ohhaih ni pha ai karoek to, lok na aa tih, tiah a naa.
21And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
21Kaminawk mah Zakariah to zing o, anih loe tempul thungah akra parai boeh pongah dawnrai o.
22And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
22Anih tasa bang tacawt naah loe, kaminawk khaeah lokthui thai ai boeh: anih loe lok apae ai, kaminawk khaeah ban hoiah ni angmathaih a sak pae: to pongah kaminawk mah anih loe tempul thungah hnuksakhaih a hnuk kalang mue, tiah poek o.
23And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
23Anih loe a toksakhaih boeng pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
24And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
24To ninawk boeng pacoengah a zu Elizabeth to zokpom; anih loe khrah pangato thung imthung ah anghawk,
25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me , to take away my reproach among men.
25anih mah ang khet nathuem ah, kaminawk salakah kai kasae thuihaih to takhoe ving hanah, Angraeng mah kai hanah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah a thuih.
26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
26Elizabeth zokpomhaih khrah tarukto phak naah, Sithaw mah van kami Gabriel to Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui ah kaom,
27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
27David imthung takoh Joseph, tiah ahmin kaom kami mah hamh ih tangla cuem khaeah patoeh; tangla kacuem ih ahmin loe Meri.
28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
28Anih khaeah van kami to caeh moe, Kasang koek tahamhoih hnu kami, anghoe ah! Sithaw loe nang hoi nawnto oh: nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, tiah a naa.
29And when she saw him , she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
29Meri mah anih to hnuk naah, dawnrai, a palung thung hoiah kawbaktih kami tapringhaih lok maw vai, tiah poek.
30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
30Toe van kami mah anih khaeah, Meri, Zii hmah: nang loe Sithaw mah palung tong ih kami ah na oh boeh.
31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
31Khenah, zok na pomh ueloe, caa nongpa maeto na sah tih, anih ih ahmin loe JESU, tiah sak han oh.
32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
32Anih loe paroeai len tih, Sang koek Capa, tiah kawk o tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah Ampa David ih angraeng tangkhang to anih khaeah paek tih:
33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
33Anih mah Jakob imthung to dungzan ah uk tih; a prae loe boenghaih om mak ai, tiah a naa.
34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
34To naah Meri mah van kami khaeah, Hae hmuen loe kawbangmaw angcoeng thai tih? Nongpa hoi ka om ai bae, tiah a naa.
35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
35Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kacai Muithla na nuiah om tih, Kasang koek sakthaihaih tha mah na oh haih tih: to pongah nang khaeah tapen han koi Ciimcai Capa loe Sithaw Capa, tiah kawk tih.
36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
36Khenah, nam nawkamya ah kaom Elizabeth doeh mitong pacoengah caa nongpa maeto pomh boeh: anih loe caa kak, toe vaihi zokpomhaih khrah tarukto oh boeh.
37For with God nothing shall be impossible.
37Sithaw han angcoeng thai ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
38To naah Meri mah, Khenah, kai loe Angraeng ih toksah nongpata ah ni ka oh; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka nuiah om nasoe, tiah a naa. To pacoengah van kami mah anih to caehtaak.
39And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
39Meri loe angthawk moe, Judea prae mae nuiah kaom vangpui maeto ah karangah caeh;
40And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
40Zakariah ih imthung ah akun moe, Elizabeth to lok tapring.
41And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
41Meri mah tapring ih lok to Elizabeth mah thaih naah, a zok thung ih nawkta to angtawt; to naah Elizabeth loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi:
42And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
42anih mah, Nang loe nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih kami ah na oh, na zok thung ih athaih doeh tahamhoih.
43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
43Tipongah maw ka Angraeng ih amno ah ohhaih to kai khaeah ang paek?
44For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
44Khenah, nang tapringhaih lok to ka thaih naah, anghoe loiah ka zok thung ih nawkta to amloep tahang.
45And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
45Angraeng khae hoi thuih ih loknawk loe anih khaeah akoep tih, tiah tanghaih tawn nongpata loe tahamhoih, tiah tha hoiah a hangh.
46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
46Meri mah, Ka hinghaih pakhra mah Angraeng to pakoeh moe,
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
47pahlongkung Sithaw khaeah palung anghoehaih ka tawnh.
48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
48Poek kahnaem a tamna nongpata to anih mah khet boeh: khenah, vaihi hoi kamtong kaminawk boih mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih.
49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
49Thacak kami mah kai hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to ang sak pae boeh; anih ih ahmin loe ciimcai.
50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
50Anih palungnathaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk nuiah adung maeto pacoeng maeto khoek to oh.
51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
51Anih mah a ban thacakhaih to amtuengsak moe, poeksang kaminawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
52Thacak kaminawk to angmacae ih angraeng tangkhang nui hoiah pakhrak tathuk moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang.
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
53Zok amthlam kaminawk to kahoih hmuennawk hoiah zok amhahsak moe, angraengnawk to bangkrai ah patoeh ving.
54He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
54A palungnathaih to pahnet ai pongah a tamna Israel to abomh;
55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
55aicae ampanawk khaeah a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Abraham hoi a caanawk khaeah doeh boeng ai ah a thuih, tiah thuih.
56And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
56Meri loe Elizabeth hoi khrah thumto oh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem.
57Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
57Elizabeth nawkta tapenhaih tue phak naah loe, anih mah caa nongpa maeto sak.
58And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
58Kawkruk maw Angraeng mah a palungnathaih anih nuiah amtuengsak, tiah imtaeng kaminawk hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk mah thaih o naah, anih to anghoe o haih.
59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
59Ni tazetto naah loe tangzat hin aah hanah nawkta to a caeh o haih; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin loe ampa ih ahmin palawk hanah Zakariah, tiah sak han oh, tiah a thuih o.
60And his mother answered and said, Not so ; but he shall be called John.
60Amno mah, to tih na ai ni; anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah sak han oh, tiah a naa.
61And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
61Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Na caengnawk thungah hae baktih ahmin hae om ai, tiah a naa o.
62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
62To pongah nihcae mah nawkta ih ahmin kawbangmaw sak han, tiah ampa khaeah ban hoi angmathaih a sak pae moe, a dueng o.
63And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
63To naah anih mah ca trikhaih thlung kangphaek to hnik moe, Anih ih ahmin loe Johan, tiah tarik: to naah nihcae dawnrai o boih.
64And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed , and he spake, and praised God.
64Akra ai ah anih ih pakha to am-ongh pae moe, palai doeh name pae roep, anih loe lok apaeh moe, Sithaw to pakoeh.
65And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
65To tiah hmuen to oh pacoengah nihcae taengah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah zithaih to phak: hae tiah kaom hmuen kawng to Judea prae mae nuiah kaom kaminawk boih mah thuih o.
66And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
66To lok thaih kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng ih ban anih nuiah oh pongah, hae nawkta loe kawbaktih nawkta ah maw om tih vai? tiah palung thung hoiah a poek o.
67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
67Ampa Zakariah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe,
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
68Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah paqaih moe, angmah ih kaminawk to akrang boeh,
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
69a tamna David imthung ah aicae hanah pahlonghaih takii maeto tacawtsak boeh;
70As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
70long amtong tangsuek na hoiah angmah ih kaciim tahmaanawk ih pakha hoi thuih ih lok baktih toengah:
71That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

72To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
72aicae ampanawk khaeah lokkam ih palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, angmah ih kaciim lokmaihaih to pahnet han ai ah,
73The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
73anih loe aicae ampa Abraham khaeah lokkamhaih to sak boeh:
74That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

75In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
