Luke 11 (BGG) · Opened

1Nai jia Isu yi ithua jia shii misia sia. Ai misia sia ched shii, samoy jia è aishii yao, “Ithong, Jon è awai samoythek shii yua pha duiine, gathek shii de misia sia pha yua bo.”One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2Isu è ithek shii yao, khuchung magunde nathek sia arone yao bo, Aphuii: Naro so ibeng ne ilab rey bo, chiih-è naro Sajathua ne thog bo.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Gathek shii chid pha michie inai tham ne phi bo.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Gathek layog shii khung phi bo, gathek de ithek asi pha rek pha ji shii khung phi ro. Chiih-è gathek shii nang chua pha aphi rabo.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Isu awai samoythek shii yao, yangne nathek hanyie magunde jia è habiu duchoi hà wuii srane nawai ijak shii yao, gu ijak, iweb uom chei phi bo.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6Gu ro ijak jia thiih shii gu hò hà wuii thog ro, chiih-è aishii chie yi pha gu shii ne nyie de oi ro!because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Chiih-è yang ne na ijak è hò iliing è chang mage, gu shii afak-afi arek rabo! Gu ro hò ne binjong muii ro, chiih-è gu ro ani nane gu ne biang hà sha ro. Gu asieng mua sha phro chiih-è gu na shii nyie de aphi mua phro,And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8Wie, nyie chiihphado? Gu na shii yao na ijak sieng ne na shii iweb aphi magunde na è awo dang pha lia ne rai arone, ji è ai sieng srane na nyie chid pha ji nyaphi ruii phro.I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9Chiih-è gu nathek shii yao: lia bo, ji arone na mua ruii phro; sow bo ji arone doh ruii phro; habin shii chokh bo ji arone na shii hong ruii phro.So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10Chiih-è hanyie è lia jishii ne phi ruii phro, chiih-è hanyie è sow ji pha bran shii ne doh ruii phro; chok bo, chiih-è habin na shii hong phi phro.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Dufuii è ù lia shii pham phi pha aphuii ne nathek è hanyie ga?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Chiih-è ai kheri lia shii ragungphie phi ne bey?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Nathek awie pho rang de, nawaithek ani shii nyie khi-èrek wie phi chid phro è thieg. Aishii lia pho ne Hamangkhung Aphuii è ji è de muna Ragung So phi ruii phro!So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

14Isu è miyao ayao mua pha ibuii shii gieng; Chiihphado è ibuii fuang hà khia mage shii, ji pha bran ne jao ne yao mua. Ji-è thiichiih pha bran ibrogthek de wiengphleg dun,One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,

15Jishii thiichiih pha giak branthek è yao, “Hì ne Sakhathong ara, ai ne ibuii pha dumuii ara, hanyie è aishii blu phi ne gieng yi pha ji ara.”but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Giak è Isu shii ichiig sow pha now, ji è hì thek ne Hamangkhung-aphuii è rey pha blia chak rone gathek shii wiengphleg pha khagi rek bo.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Jishii Isu è ithek nyie now pha ji thieg srane, ai è ithek shii yao, hanyie soh shii ibrog yoh che rai ne gidieg rek arone ji pha thiig ne idang rey ne arai mua phro; chiih-è haliing chung mak rek rai arone ji de yoh rey dun phro.Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.

18Ji-è ibuii awaithek chung zab riichai shii ibrog rek ne gui rai arone, nyie khi-èrek ne hì rai mua phlei? Nathek ne yao, gu è ibuii khia pha hì ne Sakhathong è gu shii blu phi ne ji mikhia ro è yao.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Chiihphado gu ibuii shii fuang hà ji è rek ne gieng arone, nathek samoy pho yi khi-èrek ne gieng phlei? Chiih-è nawai samoy pho è hì asi ro è nya doh yi ro!And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Asi gu è Hamangkhung-aphuii blu è ibuii shii gieng shii, hì è ne nathek shii doh yi phro Hamangkhung-aphuii Sajathua ne ithek shii wuiijong ro.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Bran bgang jia yi, awai rog shii migiang khriig rek srane, awai hò khan ne rai arone, ai hò shii nyie um pha ji ragia rey phro.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Jishii ai è muna bran biigang jia è aishii mak jo srane ai è yang mua arone, muspho è luthong muii pha migiang jithek ne ai è zab han srane awaithek chung ai è nyie goh pha ji thang rai phro.But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.

23Hanyie magunde gu rog shii asi pho ne izai gu shii gidieg rek ara ro; chiih-è hanyie yi gu rog shii nong ne akhrab gieng arone ai ne izai dayiingdayang rek ara.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24“Khuchung magungde ibuii ragung yi bran è fuang khia srane, igoh soh lakhung shii lua srane thung pha ithua so. Jishii jia de adoh sha arone. Awai è awai shii yao, ‘Gu ne gui hò hà idoh dun din sha pha ro.’When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’

25Ji-è ai idoh dun srane riig shii hò ne so nane khriig um iang.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Chiihphado ai ne fuang hà wuii srane dinne yoh miley awai è de awiedang pha ragung noh ruii, chiih-è ithek ji hà dun srane rai gieng. Ji è jithek rek ched ne, ji pha bran ne igobi è de lahuak awie pha rey dun.”Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”

27Isu è jithek yao ramuii shii, bran iphiing iliing è hò-amuii jia è aishii yao, “na shii giak ne na shii ram pha hò-amuii ne bajo khirzey ro!”As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”

28Jishii Isu è chang, “Ji-è ne, hanyie è Hamangkhung-aphuii miyaogam yoi ne nuii pho ne khama sang ro!”But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Bran brog yi Isu moe khrab ramuii shii, ai è yao, duchung pha branthek ne bajo awiedang ara! Jona ne ithek ne buang pha blia nak ne rai. Jishii Jona ro buang pha blia ji doh bie yi ne gai ne ithek shii adoh yi phro.As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30Ji duiine chaig Jona ne Ninewe pha cheb ro, ji è Bran Dufuii ne duchung pha branthek ro cheb ro.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Chiih-è chua pha inai shii sajamuii Sheba è riu ne ithek shii nin ruii phro, nyieliieshii ai ne Saja Solomon ro muyua wie ji nuii awai soh pha zab lumuii è wuii phro; ji è gu ithek shii yao ichiih shii ne nyie magunde um pha ji ne Solomon è de boh um ba ro.The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.

32Che pha idoh shii ne Ninewe pha branthek è riu ne ithek shii the ruii phro, nyieliieshii ithek ne Jona muyua ji nuii srane awaithek layog è khidjong ro: Chiih-è gu ithek shii yao ichiih shii ne nyie magunde um pha ji ne Jona è de boh um ba ro!The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.

33Khuchung magungde muchuang yi siikhiiakhjam bucho hà chab ne ug srane aruii; ji pha chiang shii muchuang ne bunthruak lakhung shii ruii ro, nyieliieshii hacho wuii pha branthek shii sang doh yi chid.No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34Nathek mieg yi siu pha muchuang duiine ro. Nathek mieg yi sang doh shii, nathek siu shii de ley muchuang um ro; jimagunde nathek mieg yi awie arone, nathek siu de zab igiia ro.Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35Chiihphado khriig rab bo, nathek shii um pha muchuang ji igiia arey yi rabo!Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Nathek siu shii muchuang ley um arone, nathek ne igiia rog oi sha phro, ji è zab sang rey dun, muchuang yi na lakhung shii khilieng mage shii na shii de chuang dun.So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37Isu ji è yao ched dang shii, Pharisithek è aishii ithek rog shii michie chie pha ho; ji è ai ne iliing hà wuii srane michie chie pha dug.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Pharisithek è Isu ne wad achun pha michie chie pha ji riig ne wiengphleg dun.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Ji-è Ithong è ithek shii yao, chiihphado, duchung pha Pharisithek nathek ne gog nane shiikhiia shii ne fuang è wie shud bie ara, jimagunde nathek ne iliing shii ne ley awie pha nane lijieg um ro.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Bi-ìethek! Hamangkhung-aphuii è fuang shii rab bie ne iliing shii arab bey?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Jishii nathek ro shiikhiia nane gog shii nyie um pha ji ne dushothek shii phi bo, chiih-è nathek shii zab so rey phro.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Pharisithek nathek ne khama diig phro! Nathek ne marey pha ishak shii, buzo nane phadina ne jia sua Hamangkhung-aphuii shii phi, jishii nathek ne izai nane Hamangkhung-aphuii shii miie rek pha jithek shii ne snai muii. Gai shii asnai pha, hì ne nathek dab bo.Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

43“Pharisithek nathek ne khama diig phro! Nathek ne Jewthek misiahò hà de ithua wie shii ong ne bajarai hà de ithek shii wad khung ne ilab phi bo è now.”Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Nathek shii ne khama diig phro! Nathek ne branthek cheb arek ba pha hanyie è athieg wieng lakhung shii lua pha duiine ro.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Ji-è yao ramuii shii Iphey yao pha masdo jia è Isu shii yao, “Masdo, na nyie yao pha ji ne, na ne gathek shii makhakriing ara!”One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Isu è chang, Iphey yao pho nathek shii de khama diig phro! Nyieliieshii nathek ne branthek phadung shii ithek è ahan mua pha miihan han yi, jishii nawaithek ne ragia rek gieng pha ji pha mahan shii wad rang de akhoh gieng.“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “For you weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47Nathek shii de khama diig phro! Nyieliieshii nathek è nawaithek riing mu-ua pha chaigthek shii ne wieng de bajo wie rab phi.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Nawaithek ne thieg, nathek riing è nyie suruii rek pha ji de nathek è khriig now, nathek è chaigthek shii ua muii chiih-è nathek è ithek ro wieng rab phi.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Hì pha chiang è Hamangkhung-aphuii khani è yao, Gu chaigthek nane muaphothek shii thoh ge, ithek è giak shii ua srane, chiih-è giak shii diigchiao phi.Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50Sohjambling rab dang pha ishak è yie ne chaigthek shii ua pha chiang è duchung pha bran nathek shii lago phi ruii phro,As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51Abel shii ua pha ji è yi ne sraibao nane So Ithua pha duchoi shii ua muii pha Zekharia ishak thog dang pha. Gu nathek shii yao, nathek chiang ne duchung pha bran nathek lago phi pha ro!from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52Iphey yao pho nathek ne khama diig phro! Nathek ne khani hò pha habin hong pha ziu ne yie ne ruii; chiih-è nawaithek de iliing hà ne awuii, chiih-è ithek ne gai iliing hà wuii pha bidiang pho shii de gak muii.Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

53Isu è ji pha ithua thoh marui srane dun shii, Iphey yao pha masdo nane Pharisithek è aishii bajo awie dang pha rek srane, bajo manathek pha miyao sai.As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54Ai ne suruii yao gua ino ne ithek è ichiig sow ne aishii zum pha bidiang.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
