Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
1Sabbath a pha vaengah Jesuh tah Pharisee boeilu pakhat im ah buh ca la cet. Te vaengah amah te a om thil uh tih a dawn uh.
2Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
2Te vaengah hlang pakhat bungthung aka khueh te a hmaiah pakcak a pawk pah.
3Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
3Te dongah Jesuh loh olming rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek te a doo tih a voek vaengah, “ Sabbath hnin ah tloh hoeih sak ham tueng a, a tueng moenih a? ” a ti nah.
4But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
4Tedae amih loh a hil a phah uh dongah a hoeih sak hlang te a mawt tih a tueih.
5He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
5Te phoeiah amih te, “ Na ca mai khaw, vaito mai khaw tangrhom ah aka cungku te, Sabbath hnin ah pahoi a doek moenih a? ” a ti nah.
6They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
6Tedae te te oelh uh thai pawh.
7He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
7Hmuensang te mat a laehdawn tih aka tuek, a cael rhoek te nuettahnah a thui pah.
8“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
8Te vaengah amih te, “ Yuluei kung la hlang khat khat loh n'khue uh vaengah, hmuensang ah ngol uh boeh, anih loh a khue te nang lakah a khoelh la vik om ve .
9and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
9Te vaengah nang neh anih aka khue te ha pawk vetih nang te , ' Anih he hmuen pae dae ,’ a ti ni. Te vaengah yah te na poh van vetih a hmuen hnukkhueng te na dang ni .
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
10Te dongah n'khue vaengah cet lamtah hnukkhueng hmuen ah ngol. Te daengah ni nang aka khue te ha pawk vaengah nang te , ' Paya aw, thoo hang dae ,’ a ti vetih na taengkah aka ngol rhoek boeih taengah nang hamla thangpomnah a om eh .
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
11Amah aka pomsang boeih tah tlarhoel vetih amah aka tlarhoel tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah .
12He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
12Te phoeiah amah aka khue te khaw , “ Buhkoknah neh hlaembuh na saii vaengah, na paya, na manuca, na huiko, na imben kuirhang rhoek te khue boeh. Amih loh namah te n'buhung van vetih kutthungnah loh namah taengla ha thoeng ve .
13But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
13Tedae buhloei na tael vaengah khodaeng, kut ngun kho ngun, aka khaem, mikdael te khue .
14and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
14Yoethen la na om bitni, nang n'sah ham te khueh pawt cakhaw aka dueng rhoek kah thohkoepnah dongah nang ham a sah bitni,” a ti nah.
15When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
15A yaak uh vaengah aka ngol rhoek khuikah pakhat loh, “Yoethen long te tah Pathen kah ram ah buh a caak ni,” a ti nah.
16But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
16Anih te khaw Jesuh loh, “ Hlang pakhat loh hlaembuh muep a thong tih hlang muep a khue .
17He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
17Hlaembuh tue ah tah a sal te a khue rhoek taengla a tueih tih , ' Ham paan uh laeh, sikim la om coeng ,’ a ti nah .
18They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
18Tedae a bangtlang la boeih a thaanah uh tih, lamhma kah loh , ' Lo ka lai tih aka hip la caeh ham a kueknah la ka om. Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'rhoe mai ,’ a ti nah .
19“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
19Pakhat loh , ' Vaito a rhoi panga ka lai tih, nainong ham ka cet ni, Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'hoep mai ,’ a ti nah .
20“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
20Pakhat bal loh , ' Yuu ka loh tih ka lo ham coeng mahpawh ,’ a ti nah .
21“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
21Te dongah sal te a pawkvaengah tah a boeipa taengla a puen pah. Te vaengah imkung tah kosi a hong tih a sal te , ' Khopuei kah toltung neh imhlai laklo ah a loe la cet lamtah, khodaeng, a kut a kho aka ngun, mikdael, aka khaem te pahoi hang khuen ,’ a ti nah .
22“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
22Sal loh , ' Boeipa, nan tueih bangla ka saii coeng dae a hmuen om pueng ,’ a ti nah .
23“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
23Te dongah boei loh sal taengah , ' Khohla longpuei neh vongtung taengah khaw cet lamtah ha kun ham tanolh dae, te daengah ni ka im ah hlang a bae eh .
24For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen. ’”
24Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng, ka khue hlang rhoek loh kai kah hlaembuh ten uh boel saeh ,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
25Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
25Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a puei hatah, amih taengla mael tih,
26“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
26“ Khat khat te kai taengla ha lo vaengah a napa neh a manu, a yuu neh a ca, pacaboeina neh tanu takhong, amah kah a hinglu khaw a toeng thil bal pawt atah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih .
27Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
27Amah kah thinglam a koh pawt ah kai hnukla aka lo te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih .
28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
28Nangmih khui lamkah loh imsang sak ham aka ngaih te unim? Lamhma la ngol tih a hnonah te a tae moenih a? Imcoeng ham khueh mai cakhaw ?
29Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
29A khoengim a sut tih coeng thai pawt koinih aka hmu boeih loh anih te pahoi a tamdaeng ni .
30saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
30hlang loh sak hamla a tong dae a coeng thai moenih ,’ a ti uh ta .
31Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
31Mebang manghai khaw manghai pakhat te a noem tih ni caem la a caeh. Te vaengah ngol lamhma tih a doe ham te thawng rha a om thai atah anih te thawng kul neh paan thil ham a moeh moenih a?
32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
32Te pawt koinih voelh a om vaengah rhoepnah ham laipai a tueih vetih a dawt ni .
33So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
33Te dongah nangmih boeih khaw, a khuehtawn boeih aka hlah pawt te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih .
34“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
34Lungkaeh khaw tui, tedae lungkaeh te khaw a dap atah ba nen lae a hlihlim sak eh?
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35Laimen ham khaw om pawt tih, aek lam khaw hoeikhang laklo pawt dongah phawn a voeih uh. Yaak nah hna aka khueh rhoek loh yaa uh,” a ti nah.
