Luke 8
1 Shortly after this He visited town after town, and village after village, proclaiming His Message and telling the Good News of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
Cekcoengawh Jesu taw khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi awh cet nawh, khawsa qam awithang leek ce kqawn hy. A hubat thlanghqa hlaihih tloek awm a venawh awm uhy,
2 and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,
cekcoengawh amah ing qaihche ingkaw tlawhnatnaak awhkawng a qoei sak nu thlang vang tloek awm a venawh awm lawt uhy: ak kawk khui awhkawng qaaikhqi ak cawn Meri (Magdalene ak mingnaak);
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women, all of whom contributed to the support of Jesus and His Apostles.
Herod a ipkhui ak khoemkung Chuza a zu Joanna; Susanna ingkaw ak chang nukhqi khawzah awm uhy. Vawhkaw nukhqi ing a mimah a ik-oeih ing Jesu ingkaw a hubatkhqi ce do a dan uhy.
4 And when a great crowd was assembling, and was receiving additions from one town after another, He spoke a parable to them.
Cawh thlang khawzah cun law unawh, khaw hoei awhkaw thlang boeih awm a venna law usaw, nyttahnaak awi hawnak ing awi kqawn pek khqi hy.
5 "The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.
“Lo ak toenkung thlang pynoet taw camci ak theh na cet hy. Camci ce ak theh awh, camci a vang taw lam awh tla nawh; thlang ing leh nawh phakhqi ing cung hloep uhy.
6 Another part drops upon the rock, and after growing up it withers away for want of moisture.
A vang taw lung awh tla nawh, hang cawt law hlai hy, ak kqa am cak nawh qeu pahoei hy.
7 Another part falls among the thorns, and the thorns grow up with it and stifle it.
Camci a vang taw hling anglak na tla nawh, hling ing zawi khoep saw qeen zip hy.
8 But some of the seed falls into good ground, and grows up and yields a return of a hundred for one." While thus speaking, He cried aloud and said, "Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Camci a vang taw ang laih leek awh tla hy, cawt nawh vui thaih hy, a pyh zakhat dyna ak thaih thawt hy,” tinak khqi hy. Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh, “Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
9 The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.
A hubatkhqi ing cawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce doet uhy.
10 "To you," He replied, "it is granted to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but all others are taught by parables, in order that they may see and yet not see, and may hear and yet not understand.
A mingmih a venawh, “Khawsa ram simnaak awihyp ce nangmih a venawh taw peek na awm hawh hy, cehlai thlak chang a venawh taw nyhtahnaak awi ing kqawn pe nyng, “Hu hlai kawm uh, a mami hatnaak aham ingkaw za hlai kawm uh, a maming zaksimnaak aham,' tinak khqi hy.
11 The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.
Nyhtahnaak awi ing ak kqawn ngaihnaak taw vemyihna awm hy: Camci cetaw Khawsak awi ni.
12 Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Lam awh ak tla camci taw thlang ing awithang leek ce za hlai hy; qaai ing law nawh, ap cangna unawh, thaawngna ama mi awm naak ham amik kawlung khui awhkaw ce loh pek khqi hy.
13 Those on the rock are the people who on hearing the Message receive it joyfully; but they have no root: for a time they believe, but when trial comes they fall away.
Lung awh ak tla camci cetaw awi ce ang zaak awh zeelnaak ing do pahoei hy, cehlai ak kqa am awm hy. Kawlhkalh awhkaw ham doeng cangna unawh, sykzoeknaak a law awhtaw nawng taak uhy.
14 That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.
Hling lakawh ak tla camci cetaw awi ce za nawh do hy, cehlai ce ak awi ce khawmdek khawsaknaak awh lylapnaakkhqi, boeinaak ingkaw awmhlynaakkhqi ing a zawl khoep adawngawh am taai thai hy.
15 But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.
Cehlai ang laih leek awh ak tla camci cetaw: kawlung dyngnaak ingkaw leeknaak ing awi za unawh, kym unawh, thaih qui qah uhy.
16 "When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.
U ingawm mai a vang awh dawn ing am myk unawh, ihkhun ak kaina am tahy; ipkhui awh ak awm thlangkhqi ing vangnaak ce a mi huh thainaak ham, maihvang a mim hawihnaak awh ni a mim hawih.
17 There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.
Kawtih a mang dangnaak thai ham thuh ak phah khawi pynoet ca awm am awm kaw, amak dang hly kawi ang hyp na ak awm ik-oeih pynoet ca awm am awm kaw.
18 Be careful, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has anything, to him more shall be given, and whoever has nothing, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
Cedawngawh ikawmyihna awi naming ngai tice ak nep cana poek uh. U awm ak ta cetaw sap pek khqoet kawm usaw; cehlai u awm amak ta cetaw, a taak chyn lawh pekna awm kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
19 Then came to Him His mother and His brothers, but could not get near Him for the crowd.
Jesu a nu ingkaw a naakhqi ce a venna law uhy, cehlai thlang a kqeng aih awh a venna am cet thai uhy.
20 But He was told, "Your mother and brothers are standing on the edge of the crowd, and want to see you."
Cedawngawh, “Na nu ingkaw na koeinaakhqi ce a leng na dyi unawh, nang ni huh ham ngaih uhy,” tina uhy.
21 "My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."
Cawh anih ing, “Ve Khawsak awi za nawh ak saikhqi taw ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi ni,” tinak khqi hy.
22 One day He went on board a boat--both He and his disciples; and He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the Lake." So they set sail.
Hypoet awh Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh, “Tuiqal na cet usih,” tinak khqi hy. Cedawngawh lawng khuina lut unawh cet uhy.
23 During the passage He fell asleep, and there came down a squall of wind on the Lake, so that the boat began to fill and they were in deadly peril.
A mi ceh huili awh anih taw ip hy. Tuiawh ce khaw hli lawnawh lawng ce tui be khoep saw ly unawh awm uhy.
24 So they came and woke Him, crying, "Rabbi, Rabbi, we are drowning." Then He roused Himself and rebuked the wind and the surging of the water, and they ceased and there was a calm.
A venna cet unawh thawh uhy, a venawh, “Bawipa, Bawipa, kaimih tui awh cum hly hawh u nyng ve!” tina uhy. Cawh anih ce tho lawnawh khawhli ingkaw tuiphu ce zyi hy; cawh khawhli ce dym nawh a sitdik na awm tlaih hy.
25 "Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."
Cekcoengawh amingmih ce, “Hana namik cangnaak?” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing kqih ingkaw kawpoek kyi doena, “Ve ve u nu ve? Khawhli ingkaw tui ce awi pe saw ak awi aming ngai pek hy,” ti qu uhy.
26 Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.
Galili caqai ben nakaw Gerasenes ben ce pha uhy.
27 Here, on landing, He was met by one of the townsmen who was possessed by demons--for a long time he had not put on any garment, nor did he live in a house, but in the tombs.
Ce hun ami pha awh, ce a khawk khuiawh ak awm qaai ing am tu thlang pynoet ing pan law hy. Ce ak thlang taw khawqyt khuiawh angki hinaak a bai kaana im awh awm am awm nawh, phyi khqang awm poepa hy.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, and said in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? Do not torture me, I beseech you."
Anih ing Jesu ce a huh awh, khy nawh a khawkung awh khukzym pehy, ak tha yy nawh, “Jesu, sawsang soeih Khawsa Capa, ikaw ni tina vang na ti? Koeh ni khuikha sak mai, qeennaak ni thoeh nyng,” tina hy.
29 For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.
Jesu ing qaihche a venawh thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn aham awi a na pe khawi hawh hy, a kut a khaw ce thiqui ing pin unawh thlang awm qeh sak hlai uhy, thiquikhqi phu kyk kyk nawh qaai ing anih ce kqawk chyp na sawi poepa hy.
30 "What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of demons had entered into him;
Jesu ing “U nu nang ming naak?” tina hy. Anih ing, “Legion,” ni, (ak kawk khuiawh qaai khawzah a awm a dawngawh) tina hy.
Lawk-kqawng ak dung soeih awh a mingmih ce amak thlaak naak aham a venawh qeennaak thoeh uhy. (Abyssos g12)
32 Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.
Cawh tlang awh vawk sawng khawzah awm usaw, vawkkhqi ak kawk khuiawh mah lut sak khqi aham qeennaak thoeh uhy, ce a dawngawh anih ing lut sak khqi hy.
33 The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.
Qaaikhqi taw thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn unawh, vawk ak kawk khuina ce lut uhy; cawh vawkkhqi ce hqeeng nakawng tuili na cawn unawh thi boeih uhy.
34 The swineherds, seeing what had happened, fled and reported it both in town and country;
Cemyihna ik-oeih ak awm ce vawk ak cahkhqi ing a mi huh awh dawng unawh khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi na ce kqawn usaw,
35 whereupon the people came out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were terrified.
cedawngawh cawhkaw ik-oeih ce ak toek aham thlangkhqi ce cet uhy. Jesu a ven a mi pha awh, ak kawk khuiawh kawng qaai ak cawn thlang, hi bai nawh sangthingna Jesu a khawkung awh ak ngawi ce hu unawh kqih uhy.
36 And those who had seen it told them how the demoniac was cured.
Ak hukhqi boeih ing qaai ing am tu thlang ikawmyihna a qoeinaak tice thlangkhqi venawh kqawn pe uhy.
37 Then the whole population of the Gerasenes and of the adjacent districts begged Him to depart from them; for their terror was great. So He went on board and returned.
Cedawngawh Gerasenes qam khuiawh ak awm thlangkhqi boeih ing a mik kqih soeih a dawngawh cekkhqi ce cehtaak aham qeennaak thoeh uhy. Cedawngawh lawng khuina ce lut tlaih unawh cet hy.
38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.
Ak kawk khuiawh kawng qaai ak cawn thlang ing a hu awh bat lawt aham qeennaak thoeh hy, cehlai Jesu ing voei sak tlaih hy.
39 "Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
Na im na voei nawhtaw Khawsa ing ikawmyihna nak khan awh ik-oeih a sai tice vak kqawn” tina hy. Cedawngawh ce ak thlang ing cet nawh Jesu ing ikawmyihna ik-oeih a sai peek tice khawk khuina kqawn hy.
40 Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.
Jesu ce ang voei tlaih awh, thlang boeih ing anih ce a ming ngaih-u a dawngawh thlangkhqi ing ym uhy.
41 Just then there came a man named Jair, a Warden of the Synagogue, who threw himself at the feet of Jesus, and entreated Him to come to his house;
Cawh Jairu ak mingnaak, Sinakawk ukkung thlang pynoet ce law nawh Jesu a khawkung awh khuksym nawh a im na ceh aham qeennaak thoeh hy.
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him.
Canu a taak dyn, kum hqa hlaihih ak law ce tlo nawh thi hlo hlo hy. Lam a ceh huiawh, thlang kqeng ing anih ce nen uhy.
43 And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--
Cawh kum hqa hlaihih a thi na ak kqam nu pynoet ce awm hy, a u ingawm anih ce am qoei sak thai hy.
44 came close behind Him and touched the tassel of His robe; and instantly her flow of blood stopped.
Anih ce a hu awh cet nawh a hidawng ca ce bi pehy, cawh a thi ce dym hy.
45 "Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."
Jesu ing, “U nu kai anik bi?” tinak khqi hy. Thlang boeih ing, “Am sim nyng,” a mi tinaak awh Piter ing, “Bawipa, thlang a doem aih awh ni nen unawh ni,” tina hy.
46 "Some one has touched me," Jesus replied, "for I feel that power has gone out from me."
Cehlai Jesu ing, “Thlang pynoet oet ing ni bi hy; saithainaak ka venawh kawng cawn hy ti sim nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
47 Then the woman, perceiving that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and throwing herself down at His feet she stated before all the people the reason why she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured.
Cawhkaw nu ing thuh thai na am awm voel hy ti a sim awh, thyn doena a venna cet nawh a khawkung awh koep pehy. Thlang boeih a haiawh kawtih bi nawh ikawmyihna a qoei tlang tice kqawn pehy.
48 "Daughter," said He, "your faith has cured you; go, and be at peace."
Cekcoengawh cawhkaw nu a venawh, “Ka canu, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy. Ngaihding caana cet hlah” tina hy.
49 While He was still speaking, some one came to the Warden of the Synagogue from his house and said, "Your daughter is dead; trouble the Rabbi no further."
Jesu ing cemyihna awi ak kqawn huiawh, Sinakawk ukkung Jairu a im nakawng thlang pynoet ce law hy. Anih ing, “Na canu ce thi hawh hy, cawngpyikung ce koeh lawn voel,” tina hy.
50 Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."
Jesu ing ce ak awi ang zaak awh Jairu a venawh, “Koeh ly; cang mah cangna lah, na canu ce qoei tlaih bit kaw,” tina hy.
51 So He came to the house, but allowed no one to go in with Him but Peter and John and James and the girl's father and mother.
Jairu a im ce a mi pha awh, Piter, Johan, Jakob ingkaw a nu a pa doeng ce ip khuina ceh pyi hy.
52 The people were all weeping aloud and beating their breasts for her; but He said, "Leave off wailing; for she is not dead, but asleep."
Cawh thlangkhqi boeih taw ko ang kqang uhy. Jesu ing, “Koeh kqang voel uh, ak thi am ni, ak ip ni,” tinak khqi hy.
53 And they jeered at Him, knowing that she was dead.
Cawh cekkhqi ing nuca taw thi hawh hy tice a mi sim a dawngawh qaih na uhy.
54 He, however, took her by the hand and called aloud, "Child, awake!"
Nuca ce a kut awh am tu coengawh, “Ka ca tho hlah,” tina hy.
55 And her spirit returned, and instantly she stood up; and He directed them to give her some food.
Cawh ang Myihla ce voei tlaih nawh, tho pahoei hy. Jesu ing ai kawi pynoet oet peek aham kqawn pehy.
56 Her parents were astounded; but He forbad them to mention the matter to any one.
A nu ingkaw a pa taw a ning ngaih kyi soeih hy, cehlai cawhkaw ik-oeih ce u a venawh awm amak kqawn aham awi pehy.
