Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
1To pacoengah Jesu mah angpop kaminawk hoi a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah hae tiah lokthuih pae,
2Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
2ca tarik kami hoi Farasinawk loe Mosi ih tangkhang nuiah anghnut o:
3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
3to pongah nihcae mah thuih ih lok to pazui o boih ah loe, sah pae oh; toe nihcae mah sak ih hmuen baktiah sah o hmah: nihcae loe a thuih o ih lok baktiah, sah o ai.
4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
4Nihcae loe phawh thai ai ih hmuenzit hoiah taoengh o moe, minawk ih palaeng ah a koeng pae o; toe angmacae loe to hmuennawk to banpazung hoiah tahruet han mataeng doeh koeh o ai.
5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
5Nihcae mah sak ih hmuennawk boih loe kaminawk mah hnuk han ih ni sak o: nihcae loe ban ah zaeng ih hmuen to kalen ah sak o moe, kahni atom to kasawkah pakhrak o,
6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
6buh raenghaih poihkung ah anghnuthaih hmuensang to koeh o moe, synagogue ah kasang koek anghnuthaih ahmuen to a koeh o,
7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
7hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah minawk mah saiqat paekhaih, Rabbi, Rabbi, tiah kaminawk mah kawkhaih to a koeh o.
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
8Toe nangcae loe Rabbi, tiah kawk o hmah, nangcae loe Patukkung, Kri khue ni na tawnh o; nangcae loe nawkamya ah ni na oh o boih.
9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
9Long nuiah mi kawbaktih doeh pa, tiah kawk o hmah: nangcae loe van ah kaom, nam Pa maeto khue ni na tawnh o.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
10Patukkung, tiah na kawk o hanah, Patukkung maeto khue ni na tawnh o: anih loe Kri ni.
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
11Nangcae thung ih kalen koek kami loe nangcae ih tamna ah oh han angaih.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
12Mi kawbaktih doeh angmah hoi angmah to amkoeh kami loe, pahnaem tathuk ah om tih; mi kawbaktih doeh poek pahnaem kami loe pakoehhaih om tih.
13¶ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves , neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
13Nangcae angsah thaih, Farasi hoi ca tarik kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Kaminawk hanah siangpahrang ah uk ih van prae to na khah pae o khoep: nangmacae doeh na kun o ai, a thungah akun koeh kaminawk doeh na pakaa o.
14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
14Nangcae angsah thaih, Farasi hoi ca tarik kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Lamhmainawk ih im to na taek o moe, angsakhaih hoiah kasawkah lawk na thuih o: to pongah kalen aep danpaekhaih to na hnu o tih.
15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
15Nangcae angsah thaih, Farasi hoi ca tarik kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Kami maeto amkhraisak hanah tuipui hoi saoeng to na takui o moe, kami to na hnuk o naah, anih to nangmacae pong alet hnetto kamtlai ah hell ih caa ah nang coeng o sak.
16Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
16Nangcae mikmaeng zaehoikungnawk, khosak na bing o! Nangcae mah mi kawbaktih doeh tempul hoi lokkamhaih sah kami loe kawbangah doeh om mak ai; toe tempul thung ih sui hoiah lokkamhaih sah kami loe, a lokkamhaih to caksak poe han oh, tiah na thuih o.
17Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
17Nangcae mikmaeng hoi amthu kaminawk: sui maw kalen kue, to tih ai boeh loe sui ciimsakkung tempul?
18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
18Mi kawbaktih doeh hmaicam hoi lokkamhaih sah kami loe, kawbangah doeh om mak ai, toe hmaicam nui ih tangqum hoiah lokkamhaih sah kami loe sak pazaehaih a tawnh, tiah na thuih o.
19Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
19Nangcae mikmaeng hoi amthu kaminawk: tangqum maw kalen kue, to tih ai boeh loe tangqum ciimsakkung hmaicam?
20Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
20To pongah mi kawbaktih doeh hmaicam hoi lokkamhaih sah kami loe hmaicam hoi a nuiah kaom hmuen boih hoi lokkamhaih sak ah ni oh boeh.
21And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
21Mi kawbaktih doeh tempul hoi lokkamhaih sah kami loe tempul thungah kaom kami hoiah lokkamhaih sak ah ni oh boeh.
22And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
22Mi kawbaktih doeh van hoi lokkamhaih sah kami loe, Sithaw ih angraeng tangkhang hoi a nuiah anghnu kami hoiah lokkamhaih sak ah ni oh boeh.
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
23Nangcae angsah cop thaih, ca tarik kami hoi Farasinawk, khosak na bing o! Nangcae loe cungpram, hmuihoih aan hoi cungsimnawk to haato thungah maeto na paek o, toe kaalok thungah kaom katoeng lokcaekhaih, kami tahmenhaih hoi tanghaih to tiah doeh na poek o ai: kalah hmuennawk to pahnawt sut ai ah, lokpui parai hmuennawk doeh na sak o han angaih.
24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
24Nangcae mikmaeng zaehoikungnawk, taksae maeto doeh oh han ai ah tui to na pacii o, toe kaengkuu hrang maeto na pa-aeh o lat.
25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
25Nangcae angsah cop, ca tarik kami hoi Farasi kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Boengloeng hoi sabaenawk to anui bang kaciim ah na pasaeh o, toe athung bangah loe kami lomhhaih hoi kamtlai koeh hmoekhaih hoiah koi.
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
26Farasi mikmaengnawk, boengloeng hoi sabae to a thung bangah pasae o hmaloe ah, to tiah ni anui bang doeh ciim thai tih.
27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
27Nangcae angsah cop thaih, ca tarik kami hoi Farasinawk, khosak na bing o! Nangcae loe anui bang hoi khet kahoih ah rong kanglung hoi nok moe, athung bangah loe kadueh kaminawk ih ahuh, kaciim ai hmuennawk hoiah kakoi taprong hoiah ni anghmong.
28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28To baktih toengah nangcae doeh tasa bang hoiah loe kaminawk hma ah katoeng kami baktiah amtueng, toe a thung bangah loe angsak cophaih, zaehaih hoiah ni na koi o.
29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
29Nangcae angsah cop thaih, ca tarik kami hoi Farasinawk, khosak na bing o! Nangcae loe tahmaanawk ih taprong to na sak o moe, katoeng kaminawk ih taprong to na sak pathoep o,
30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
30kaicae loe kaimacae ampanawk ih adung ah kho ka sak o langlacadoeh, tahmaanawk athii palong kaminawk khaeah ka thum o mak ai, tiah na thuih o.
31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
31Nangcae loe tahmaanawk hum kaminawk ih caa ah na oh o, tiah nangmacae hoi nangmacae to hnukung ah na oh o.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
32Nam panawk khosakhaih tuinuen to koi o sak ngala khae.
33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
33Nangcae pahuinawk, nangcae pahui ih caanawk, kawbangmaw hell thung hoiah na loih o thai tih?
34¶ Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
34To pongah khenah, Tahmaanawk, palungha kaminawk hoi ca tarik kaminawk to nangcae khaeah kang patoeh: thoemto kaminawk to na hum o ueloe, thinglam pongah na takhing o tih; thoemto kaminawk loe sineko ah na bop o ueloe, vangpui maeto pacoeng maeto ah na pacaektlaek o tih:
35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
35tempul hoi hmaicam salakah na hum o ih, katoeng kami Abel hoi Barakiah capa, Zakariah karoek to long nuiah kalong katoeng kaminawk boih ih athii loe nangcae nuiah om tih.
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
36Loktang kang thuih o, hae hmuennawk boih loe hae adung ih kaminawk nuiah pha tih.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
37Aw Jerusalem, Jerusalem, tahmaanawk humkung hoi nang khaeah patoeh ih kaminawk thlung hoiah vakung, aa amno mah a caanawk pakhraeh tlim ah tapop baktih toengah, na caanawk nawnto tapop hanah vai nazetto maw koehhaih ka tawnh boeh, toe nang mah na koeh ai!
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
38Khenah, na im loe angqai krang ah ni oh sut boeh.
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
39Kang thuih o, Angraeng ih ahmin hoi angzo kami loe tahamhoih, tiah na thui o ai karoek to, vaihi hoi kamgtong kai nang hnuh o mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
