Luke 11 (CEKAK)

1Anih loe ahmuen maeto ah caeh moe, lawkthuih pacoengah, a hnukbang maeto mah anih khaeah, Angraeng, Johan mah a hnukbang kaminawk hanah lawkthuih patuk baktih toengah, kaicae han doeh lawkthuihaih na patuk ah, tiah a naa.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.”

2Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Lawk na thuih o naah, Van ah kaom kaicae Ampa, na hmin saiqathaih om nasoe. Na prae angzo lai nasoe, van ih baktih toengah, na koehhaih long nuiah koep nasoe.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Ni thokkruek kaicae han caaknaek na paek ah.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Kaicae khae laiba tawn kaminawk ka tahmen o baktih toengah, ka sak o ih zaehaihnawk to tahmen ah. Pacuekhaih thungah na hoi hmah; kami zae ban thung hoi na loisak ah:And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae thung ih kami maeto loe ampui maeto tawnh, anih loe ampui khaeah qum taning ah caeh moe, Ampui takaw kae thumto na coi raeh;Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6kholong caeh kam pui kai khaeah angzoh, toe a hmaa ah patoem han tidoeh ka tawn ai, tiah a naa.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7To naah imthung ah kaom anih mah, Raihaih na paek hmah, thok ka takraeng boeh, vaihi ka caanawk hoi nawnto ka iih o boeh; hmuen paek han ih kang thawk thai mak ai, tiah a naa.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.’

8Kang thuih o, Anih loe angmah ih ampui ah oh pongah takaw paek han ih angthawk mak ai, a hnik pae khruek pongah ni anih mah angthawk ueloe, a koeh zetto paek tih.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.

9To pongah kang thuih o, Hniah, paek tih; pakrong ah, hnu tih; takhuek ah, na paong pae tih.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.

10Hni kami loe hak; pakrong kami loe hnuk; takhuek kami loe paong pae tih.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Nangcae thungah ampa ah kaom kami, Na capa mah takaw na hni nahaeloe, anih han thlung na paek tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe tanga na hni nahaeloe, anih han pahui na paek tih maw?What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12To tih ai boeh loe aadui na hni nahaeloe, anih han sataai na paek tih maw?Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Kasae nangcae mah mataeng doeh, na caanawk han kahoih hmuen paek na panoek o nahaeloe, van ah kaom nam pa mah cae loe hni kaminawk khaeah Kacai Muithla nazetto maw paek aep tih? tiah a naa.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!”

14Lokaa kami takoh thung ih taqawk sae maeto anih mah haek pae. Takoh thung hoi taqawk tacawt pacoengah loe, lokaa to lok apaeh; to pongah kaminawk loe dawnrai o.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,

15Toe thoemto kaminawk mah, Anih loe kalen koek taqawk Beelzebub ih ahmin hoiah ni taqawknawk to haek, tiah thuih o.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16Kalah kaminawk mah loe van bang ih angmathaih maeto hnuksak hanah anih to tanoek o.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Anih mah nihcae poekhaih to panoek pae naah, nihcae khaeah, maeto hoi maeto ampraek moe, angtuh nahaeloe, prae to amro tih; imthong doeh maeto hoi maeto ampraek moe, angtuh nahaeloe, amtim tih.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.

18Setan doeh maeto hoi maeto ampraek moe, angmah hoi angmah angtuh nahaeloe, kawbangah maw a prae to angdoe thai tih? Toe nangcae mah loe Beelzebub ih ahmin hoiah ni taqawknawk to ka haek, tiah na thuih o.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Beelzebub ih ahmin hoiah taqawknawk to ka haek nahaeloe, na caanawk mah loe mi ih ahmin hoiah maw taqawknawk to haek o? To pongah nihcae ni nangcae lokcaekkung ah ni om o tih.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Toe taqawknawk to Sithaw ih banpazung hoiah ka haek nahaeloe, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe nangcae nuiah phak boeh.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21Thacak kami mah a im to maiphaw hoiah toep naah ni, angmah ih hmuenmaenawk to cuem.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Toe anih pong thacak kue kami anih khaeah angzoh moe, anih to pazawk naah loe, anih mah oep ih maiphaw to anih khae hoi lak pae ving moe, anih ih hmuennawk to haeh pae phaeng.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.

23Kai hoi nawnto om ai kami loe kai ih misa ah oh: kai hoi nawnto amkhueng ai kami loe, ampraek phang.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24To kami takoh thung hoiah kaciim ai muithla tacawt naah, muithla loe ahmuen kazaek ah caeh moe, anghakhaih ahmuen to pakrong; toe tidoeh hnu ai, to pongah anih mah, Ka caehtaak ih im ah kam laem let han, tiah a thuih.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.’

25Anih amlaem let naah, kaciim bit ah pahuih moe, taprikcai ih im to a hnuk.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26To naah anih mah caeh moe, angmah pong kasae kue muithla sarihto a hoih, a thungah akun o moe, to ah oh o: hnukkhuem ah kaom to kami ih khosakhaih dan loe tangsuek ih pongah doeh nung kue, tiah a naa.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.”

27Anih mah hae loknawk thuih naah, amkhueng kami thung ih nongpata maeto mah anih khaeah, Nang tapen zok hoi nang tahnu tui panae kami loe tahamhoih, tiah a naa.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!”

28Anih mah, Sithaw lok to thaih moe, sah kaminawk loe to kaminawk pongah tahamhoih o kue, tiah a naa.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Paroeai kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o naah, anih mah, Hae dung ih kaminawk loe kasae kaminawk ah ni oh o: nihcae loe angmathaih maeto pakrong o; tahmaa Jonah angmathaih khue ai ah loe, angmathaih paek mak ai boeh.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.

30Jonah loe Nineveh kaminawk khaeah angmathaih maeto ah oh baktih toengah, kami Capa doeh hae dung kaminawk ih angmathaih ah om tih.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Lokcaek naah aloih bang ih siangpahrang nongpata loe hae dung kaminawk hoi nawnto angdoe ueloe, nihcae to zaehaih net tih: to nongpata loe Solomon palunghahaih lok to tahngaih hanah, kangtaeng koek long ahmuen hoiah angzoh; khenah, Solomon pong kalen kue haeah oh.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.

32Lokcaek naah Nineveh kaminawk loe hae dung kaminawk hoi nawnto angdoe o ueloe, nihcae to zaehaih net o tih: nihcae loe Jonah mah lokthuih naah dawnpakhuem o; khenah, Jonah pong kalen kue haeah oh.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.

33Mi mah doeh, hmaithawk hmai paang naah, kamtueng ai ahmuen ah suem vai ai, takho hoiah doeh khuk vai ai, imthung ah angzo kaminawk mah aanghaih hnuk o thai hanah, hmai paanghaih ahmuen ah ni a suek o.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.

34Mik loe takpum aanghaih ah oh: na mik aang naah ni, na takpum boih to aang; toe na mik aang ai naah, na takpum to ving boih.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.

35To pongah na takpum ah kaom hmai to vingsak han ai ah acoe ah.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Na takpum to aang boih moe, vinghaih tetta doeh om ai nahaeloe, ka aang hmaithawk hmai mah ang toeh ih baktih toengah, takpum to aang boih tih, tiah a naa.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.”

37Anih lokthuih pacoengah, Farasi kami maeto mah anih hoi nawnto buhcaak hanah kawk: buhcaak hanah anih loe caeh moe, buhkung ah anghnut.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Anih loe ban amsae hmaloe ai ah buh a caak, tiah Farasi kami mah hnuk naah dawnrai.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Nangcae Farasi kaminawk loe boengloeng hoi sabae to a nui bang kathoeng ah pasaeh o, toe na thung bangah loe amoehhaih hoi sethaih hoiah ni koi.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Nangcae kamthunawk, a nui bang sah Kami mah na ai maw a thung bang doeh sak?You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Na tawnh o ih to baktih hmuennawk to kamtang kaminawk hanah paek oh; to tiah nahaeloe khenah, hmuennawk loe nangcae han ciim boih.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Farasi kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Cungsim, cungpram hoi congca hmuihoih aannawk hato thungah maeto na paek o, toe toenghaih hoi Sithaw amlunghaih to na caeh o taak ving: kalah hmuennawk sak hanah caehtaak ai ah, hae hmuennawk hae na sak o boih han oh.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.

43Farasi kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Sineko ah anghnuthaih hmuensang to na koeh o moe, hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah saiqat paekhaih to na koeh o.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Angsah thaih, Ca tarik kaminawk hoi Farasi kaminawk, khosak na bing o! Nangcae loe kamtueng ai, kaminawk mah a nuiah cawh o ih taprong hoiah ni nang hmong o, tiah a naa.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45To naah daan kop kami maeto mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, hae hmuennawk hoiah kaicae kasae nang thuih, tiah a naa.One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Jesu mah, Daan kop kaminawk, Nangcae doeh khosak na bing o! Pazawk ai ih hmuenzit to kaminawk han na phawh o sak nganga, nangmacae mah loe banpazung maeto hoiah mataeng doeh na sui o ai.“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.

47Khosak na bing o! Nam panawk mah tahmaanawk to hum o pongah, tahmaanawk ih taprong to na sak pae o.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Tangtang ni, nangcae loe nam panawk mah sak o ih hmuennawk hnukung ah na oh o: nam panawk mah tahmaanawk hum o pongah ni, nihcae ih taprong to na sak pae o.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49To pongah Sithaw palunghahaih mah loe, Tahmaa hoi patoeh ih kaminawk to nihcae khaeah ka patoeh han, toe nihcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk to nihcae mah hum o tih, thoemto kaminawk loe pacaekthlaek o tih, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.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.’

50Long sak tangsuek na hoiah kaom, tahmaanawk boih athii palonghaih pongah lokcaekhaih loe hae dung kaminawk nuiah om tih;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,

Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.

52Daan kop kaminawk, Khosak na bing o! Panoekhaih cabi to na lak o ving boeh: nangmacae doeh a thungah na kun o ai, a thungah akun kaminawk doeh na pakaa o, tiah a naa.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.”
