Luke 13 (BGG) · Opened

1Ji pha ishak shii giak bran thiisa hà um pho è Isu shii yao Galilean phothek è Hamangkhung-aphuii shii mizid zid pha ishak shii Philath è ithek shii ua muii.At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2Isu è ithek shii chang, nyieliieshii Galileanthek shii ji è rek ne ua muii shii, nathek è inow ne doh bey? Nathek ne gai Galileanthek è de bajo awie pha layog rek ro?To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

3Khuchung magunde de asi phro! Chiih-è gu nathek shii yao phro nawaithek layog è idoh akhid arone, nathek shii rek pha duiine nathek de zab iy ruii phro.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

4Siloam shii miyao heg cho srane bran snamileo iy dun pho jishii nyie khi-èrek now lei? Nathek ne inow bey? Nathek ne Jerusalem pha zab pha bran è buii ro inow bey?Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?

5Khuchung magunde asi ro! Gu nathek shii yaodang phro nsthek è nawaithek layog è akhid sapho shii ne, ithek shii rek pha duiine nathek zab iy ruii phro.No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

6Chiihphado shii Isu è ithek shii hì pha najang yao: Luang jia shii bran jia è hing muii shii awai raig shii hai. Ai wuii srane ji pha hing muii shii riig shii nyie de awoi iang.Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

7Jishii ai è awai raig riig pha bran jishii yao, riig mage bo, gu dam uom è hì pha hing muii shii iphem iwoi sow wuii shii igam jia de adoh ro, aishii chiiegmuii bo! Nyie rek ne nyiak shii thaluii sieng ne rai yi phlei?So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

8Jishii raig riig pho è chang Masdo, brai yi bo dinne idam jia gu hì pha hing khiing shii wie jam chog srane rawo phi pha ro.‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9Chiihphado è hì pha hing muii è iwoi wie woi ruii arone wie ro; ji asi arone, na nya chieg muii bo.If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”

10Jewish Thung pha Inai jia shii Isu è jewish misiahò hà yao ramuii.One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

11Hò-amuii jia yi awie pha ragung thoh ne dam snamiliao mucho è rad ne ai yi bam srane khuchung de miang arek mua.and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12Isu è aishii doh mage ne, ai è aishii ho, Hò-amuii, nane nawai murad ji è wie rey saro!When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”

13Ai è awai wad ai lakhung ruii mage shii, ai yi khthiie laziung miang riu srane Hamangkhung-aphuii shii laso phi.Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.

14Jewis misiahò pha dumuii ji è Isu ne Jewish Thung pha Inai shii gang phi pha ji riig srane lijieg, ji è ai è yao srane branthek shii yao, “Gethek shii ne blia rek pha dariig um ro; ji è ji pha naishii wuii ne gang nya rek phi bo, jimagunde Jewish Thung pha Inai shii arek rabo!”But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”

15Ithong è ithek shii chang, “Lawasdai ithek! Nathek è hanyie magunde nawaithek rawoi nane bambao shii Jewish Thung pha Inai shii de kho niing yi pha se ne anow bey?“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?

16Thiihchiih shii um pha ji ne Abraham pha riing ro, ibuii è aishii ne dam snamileo è phang ne ruii mua; ji è aishii ne thung pha inai idoh shii gang arek mua ne bey?”Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”

17Ai muchang ji è airo shuang pho ne awailum ne biwo rey dun, ji pha ishak shii branthek ne Isu mirek pha buang pha blia jishii riig ne sang dun.When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

18Isu è sai, “Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua pha ji ne khi duiine lei? Gu ne nyie è aishii doh ne yao sha pha lei?Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

19Hì ne ji duiine ro. Bran jia è danaro iriie yie srane raig shii wey pha duiine ro. Misieng yi sieng srane hing rey, chiih-è fuiithek de airo idiphak shii irung rak phro.”It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

20Din ne Isu è sai, Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua shii gu nyie khi-èrek doh ne yao sha pha lei?Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

21Hì ne ji duiine ro. Hò-amuii jia è phiia yi srane jariie boh miihab shii lao shii zab phiia rey dun.It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

22Isu thiigthek shii nane thawunthek duchoi è wuii srane branthek shii yao ne Jerusalem hà rai ne wuii pha saro.Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

23Bran jia è aishii sai, “Masdo, bran ìu shii ragia rey bie habey?” Isu è ithek shii chang,“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24“Nathek ne wie rek srane habin khog ji è lua pha rek bo, nyieliieshii bajo branthek ne iliing hà wuii pha bidiang dang ruii phro, jimagunde awuii mua phro.“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

25Hò pha Ithong è jai srane habin bin muii phro; chiihphado nathek è fuang hà riu srane habin shii chokh ne yao ruii phro, ‘Masdo!’ Gathek shii de hò hong phi bo, ai è nathek shii chang ruii, ‘Gu nathek shii athieg ro nathek ne khi è wuii rai lei ne!’After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

26Chiihphado nathek è chang ruii, ‘gathek è de narog shii chie niing gieng phro; na è gathek thawun shii gathek shii yua ro!’Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27Jishii de dinne ai yao ruii, gu ne athieg ro nathek khi-è wuii rai lei ne. Ichiih gu è dun bo, zab awie pha bran nathek.And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

28Nathek shii ne fuang hà fen mage shii nathek ne Abraham, Isakh, Jakhob, chiih-è zab pha chaigthek shii Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua pha ji hà doh mage shii nathek ne khama choh srane nawaithek snying khriig ruii phro!There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.

29Branthek ne bichiu nane niigo, chiih-è hakhoi nane hayang è wuii srane Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua shii dug ne michie chie ruii phro.People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

30Chiihphado è thiih shii hanyie yi idoh lei ne ji ne ibi rey phro, chiih-è thiih shii hanyie yi ibi lei ne ji ne idoh rey ruii phro.”And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

31Ji-èrek pha ishak shii giak Pharisithek è Isu shii wuii srane aishii yao, “Na ne ichiih-è gai ithua hà dun marui bo, nyieliieshii Herod è na shii ne ua pha rek muii ro.”At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

32Isu è ithek shii chang, wuii srane ji pha sulgud shii yao mage bo: Gu ibuiithek shii fuang khia ne sudoh nane thimiang shii gang rek ba phi phro, chiih-è da-uom shii gui bliajong ba phro:But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’

33Sudoh, thimiang, chiih-è budoh shii de gu ne lua ba pha um ro; chaig shii ne Jerusalem è gai ithua hà ua pha ji ne arey mua phro.Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.

34Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Nathek ne chaigthek shii de ua muii, chiih-è Hamangkhung-aphuii è thoh ge pha muaphothek shii de nathek è lubao chao! Gu khama ishak nathek shii de khemuii è awai aniphiing shii iyig iliing hà khrab ne ruii pha duiine nathek ro zab pha bran shii de gui wad ruii ne gung phi pha now shii, jimagunde nathek è gu shii arek yi.O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

35Chiih-è nathek ro Misiahò ne isloi rey dun phro. Gu nathek shii yao, hanyie yi Ithong beng wuii pho ne Hamangkhung pha khirzey phi bo è yao pha ishak athog sapho shii ne nathek gu shii dinne khuchung de adoh phro.Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
