Luke 12 (BGG) · Opened

1Itham bran yi òjia shii khrab thog mage shii, ithek ne awaithek chung thum rai dun. Jishii igobi Isu è awai samoy shii yao, Pharisithek ro awie pha muphak ji è nawaithek shii ragia rek bo, gu è yao pha miyao jine ithek ro lubo siie ro.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2Nyie magunde cheg ne ruii pha ji ne acheg mua phro, chiih-è nyie magunde ug ne ruii pha ji ne thieg dun phro.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3Chiihphado, nyie magunde na è igiia hà yao ji ne isang moe hà yoi dun phro, chiih-è nyie magunde na è ùgud bin srane ji hà suak ne yao magunde hò lakhung pha zak hà ziak dun phro.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4Gu ijakthek, gu nathek shii yao, hanyie è na siu shii ua bie pha ji shii ne arum rabo jimagunde dinne nyie de buii arek mua phro.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Gu nathek shii riig yi hanyie shii rum chid: ua pha idoh, hanyie, shii thumluii hà fen pha blu um pha, Hamangkhung-aphuii shii rum bo. Gu shii migi now bo, nathek rum chid pha ne ai jia ro!But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6“Adili nyi shii fuiisrai guii aliu bey? Thiih rang de Hamangkhung-aphuii è fuiisrai jia shii ableng ba ro.”Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Nathek khrug pha khaziang rang de zab tham ne ruii phro, ji è nathek ne arum chid rabo. Nathek ne fuii è de bajo igong ro!And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8Gu ithek shii ji yao hanyie magunde bran moe shii yaodang arone ai ne gu rog è chak ara, ji duiine Bran Dufuii de aishii Hamangkhung-aphuii hamangkhliie moe shii è rek phi phro.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Jishii hanyie è branthek moe shii gu shii snai arone, Bran Dufuii è de Hamangkhung-aphuii hamangkhliie moe shii aishii de snai ruii phro.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10Hanyie jia è de Bran Dufuii shii buii miyaogam yao magunde nya khung phi phro; jimagunde hanyie è Ragung So shii buii yao arone, khuchung de akhung phi ruii phro.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11Khuchung magungde ithek è nathek shii Jewthek misiahò hà nane bohkhoh pha badri, hà noh pha bidiang magunde, nawaithek shii ragia khi-èrek chid chiih-è nathek nyie yao chid pha ji ne munow adiig chid rabo.When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12Ji è rek pha ishak shii nathek nyie yao chid pha ji ne Ragung So è nyayua ruii phro.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Bran jia yi ibrog iliing è Isu shii yao, “Masdo” Gu khuii shii yao ne aphuii mutho marui pha nuruii ji gu shii thang sha noh bo.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14Isu è aishii chang, “Gu ijak, na sa duchoi shii nuruii thang pha chiih-è che phi pha rangsua ne gu shii hanyie miphi lei?”But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15Chiih-è ai zab thek shii yao, nowbthan ne zab pha giichak pha ji è nawaithek shii ragia rek bo; nyieliieshii bran ro izai chai ne awai mana nane bukho è arab ro. Ai khama pha bukho magunde nyie achun phro.And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16Chiihphado Isu ji pha najang è shan ne yao: Luang jia bukho bran jia ro soh shii wie iwoi rey.Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17Ai jao ne awailum ne now, gu shii ne iwoithek ruii pha ithua de oi, ji è gu ne nyie rek sha?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18Hì ne gu nyie rek sha; ai è awai shii yao, gu ne thazan yi chuak ne boh jia rung din srane, garo nying nane zab pha mana yi jishii chab ne ruii chid.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19Chiihphado gu ne gui shii yao, khirzey bran! Na shii ne idam bajo thog pha nyie chid pha de zab mana na shii um, ji è nane bajo idam liijiing è sieng ne, chie ne, niing ne, lubo rek phro!Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20Jishii Hamangkhung-aphuii è aishii yao, na ne bi-ìe ro! Hì pha habiu shii na ne nawai sieng pha ji ne thoh chid phro; ji è na è nawai shii ruii pha mana hì thek ne hanyie mua phlei?But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21Chiihphado Isu è yao, “Ji duiine ji pha bran de awai shii bajo bukho rab ne ruii jishii Hamangkhung-aphuii mieg moe hà ne bukho asi ro.”This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Chiihphado Isu è awai samoythek shii yao, chiih-è gu nathek shii yao nathek sieng ne rai pha michie chid pha chiih-è nathek siu shii guii pha yungthek shii sam diig anow chid rabo.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Chai ne michie re-è de bajo mugak ba ro, chiih-è siu ne yung è de bajo mugak ba ro.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24Amiiethek shii riig mage bo: Ithek ne iriiethek de ahai chiih-è yamiing de akhrab; ithek shii chab ne ruii pha ùgud nane thazan de oi; jishii Hamangkhung-aphuii è ithek shii phi! Nathek ne fuii è de bajo mugak ba ro!Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Ji è nathek ne hì thek samdiig srane nawai sieng pha phiang nyarek mua ne bey!Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26Nathek ne ididuii shii rang de khriig arek mua shii, nyie um ne nathek gai muna shii sam diig phlei?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Riig mage bo nyie khi-èrek ne jabiing pha ibuathek rang sieng khlei: ithek ne blia de arek chiih-è awaithek ro yung de arab. Ji-è gu nathek shii yao saja Solomon ro khama pha nuruii pha yung khie um magunde jishii ibuathek nyama khie oi ro.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28Hì ne saing shii yung guii phi pha Hamangkuhng-aphuii ro hì pha saing ne sudoh ichiih shii um chiih-è thimiang ne shong ne, siphie bai hà fu muii. Ji-è ai ne ithek zab shii ai è de lahuak ne yung aguii phi habey? Nathek shii ne migi ìu um bie ara.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Ji-è nathek ne idang ne nyie chie nyie niing pha jithek shii sam adiig chid rabo.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30(Ichiih sohjambling phothek Hamangkhung-aphuii shii athieg pho ne hì pha mana shii munowthiig.) Nathek aphuii ne nathek hì è chid phro è thieg phro.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Ji phachiang è, airo Sajathua pha ji shii sam diig now bo, chiih-è ai ne na shii jithek phi ruii phro.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Arum chid rabo, guro ìu ibrog, nathek Aphuii è nyu ne Sajathua ne nathek shii phi ro.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33Nathek shii nuruii um pha ji zab liu srane ji pha bang yi dusho shii phi bo. Khuchung magunde amua pha nuruii baneb jia nawai shii khriig rab ne ruii bo, chiih-è naro nuruii ne Hamangkhung hà khrab ne ruii bo, thiisa hà nathek è de ìu arek phro, nyieliieshii mugo phothek de ayie mua phro, chiih-è dakhyem è de awie pha arek mua phro.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34Khi hà nathek ro nuruii um lei ne nathek ro lubu de idang ji hà um phro.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35Hanyie magunde wuii ruii shii blia rek pha yung guii ne chiih-è naro ichuangthek chuang ne ruii bo.Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36Khiao duiine awai ithong shii phi pha michie è khuchung idoh dun ruii pha ji khan ne habin chokh ruii shii wuii srane khthiie habin hong phi.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Khinyama sang phro ithek shii Ithong è idoh dun ne riig shii khiao ithek ne khriig sieng ne rek iang pha doh yi ne! Gu ithek shii yao, ai è awai shungkho than srane ithek shii dug yi pha yao phro, chiih-è ithek shii chie yi phro.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38Habiu pha duchoi magunde chiih-è idoh hà dun magunde khriig rek iang pha doh arone khama sang phro!Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39Chiih-è nathek hì de khriig thieg bo, mugo pho khuchung wuii ruii pha ishak ji yi hò muspho è thieg arone, ai ne mugo pho shii awai hò amua yi phro.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Chiih-è ithek, wie, è saro iang bo, nyieliieshii ithek è aishii aluthong pha ishak shii Bran Dufuii ne wuii ruii phro.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Phithar è sai, “Ithong, hì pha najang yi gathek shii thoh ne yao ne ba, chiih-è zab shii yao ne bey?”“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42Ithong è chang, chiihphado, hanyie, yi wie nane izai khiao ga? Ai ne chiihphado awai ithong è aishii dumuii rek ne, hò gayiig pha chiih-è gai khiao ithek chiang pha michie khriig ishak shii dong phi.And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Ithong hò hà dun thog ne riig shii ji duiine rek iang pha doh arone ji pha khiao shii ne bajo sang ruii phro.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ji-è, gu nathek shii yao, ji è rek pha khiao shii ne ithong è awai nuruii shii dumuii rab ne ruii muii phro.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Jishii ji pha khiao ji è awai shii yao, airo ithong ne idoh dun pha bajo chia iwa inow srane gai khiao hò-aphuii thek shii nane hò-amuii thek shii zuang srane niing thiig ne rai arone,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46chiihphado khiaothek è aishii aluthong pha chiih-è ji pha ishak ithek è a-ìd shii nai jia Ithong idoh de thog srane, ji pha khiao jishii ne dumdum tham srane miyao anuii pha rek pho rog shii fen mua.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47Khiaothek shii masdo è nyie rek bo ino pha ji ìd pho ne awaithek shii khriig arek phi arone, jishii ne ithek rog shii bajo zuang phro.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48Jishii ithong è nyie chiid pha ji khiao hanyie è athieg ba arone, chiih-è thuh midijia zuang sapho rek magunde ìu zuang bie yi pha ro. Bajo phi ne ruii pha bran shii bajo chid din ruii phro, bajo phi ne ruii pho shii bajo lia ruii phro.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49Gu thiwing ne sohnyiak shii bai fuii wuii phro, chiih-è gu miiyang ji ne hùb pha jao ro!I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50Gu shii khowo mua ba pha um, chiih-è gu ji ajong sapho shii ne khama diig shii ro!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Gu ichiih sohjambling shii liijiing phi wuii phro ithek inow ne bey? Asi, liijiing asi, gu che pha wuii phro.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52Sudoh è thiwing haliing shii bran guii yi che ruii phro, bran uom è bran nyie shii gidieg rek ruii phro chiih-è nyi è uom shii gidieg rek ruii phro.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53Aphuii è dufuii shii gidieg rek ruii phro, chiih-è dufuii è aphuii shii gidieg rek ruii phro; amuii è dimi shii, chiih-è dimi è amuii shii gidieg rek ruii phro; khiing è icho shii chiih-è icho è khiing shii gidieg rek ruii phro.They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54Isu è branthek shii de yao, “Nathek sakhamiing shii hanaiyem bsa è rek ruii pha doh mage shii, nathek ji riig srane yao haphie phie sharuii ro è yao shii haphie phie ruii.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55Chiih-è nathek khuchung magunde hanai chiu è hasam sam ruii pha than mage shii nathek è yao ijieg rey sha ruii ro, chiih-è ji rey.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56Lawasdai! Nathek sohnyiak nane hamangkhung shii rang thieg mua shii; ji arone nyie rek ne nathek duchung shii ishak ji agao mua lei?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57“Nathek nawaithek shii izai ji rek pha nyie rek ne achua lei?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58Yang ne ithek shii nawaithek gidieg è gui rai pha miyao yie ne wuii ruii arone nawaithek rek mua pha ji rek srane chua bsa hà anow ba pha ibi shii lumuii hà nawaithek miyao ò rai pha rek bo.

Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Gu nathek shii yao, nathek è bang aphi sapho shii ne na ne thiisa phatheg hà rai dun phro.”I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
