Luke 7 (CEKAK) · Opened

1Tahngai kaminawk khaeah lok a thuih pacoengah, Kapernuam avang bangah a caeh.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Misatuh cumvaito ukkung ih tamna maeto loe, angmah ih angraeng mah palung parai, toe anih loe ngannat moe, duek duih.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Misatuh angraeng mah Jesu kawng to thaih naah, anih loe angzoh moe, nganna a tamna to ngantuisak hanah, anih khaeah Judah kacoehtanawk to patoeh moe, tahmenhaih hniksak.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Nihcae Jesu khae phak o naah, Hae kami loe na tahmenhaih hnuk hanah krak, tiah tahmenhaih hnik pae o.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Anih loe kaicae ih prae hae palung pongah, kaicae hanah Sineko maeto ang sak pae, tiah a naa o.for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Jesu loe nihcae hoi nawnto caeh o. Im phak tom naah loe, misatuh cumvaito ukkung mah ampuinawk to anih khaeah patoeh moe, anih khaeah, Angraeng, nangmah hoi nangmah to raihaih angpaek hmah, kai ih imthung ah nang akunsak hanah kam cuk ai:So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

7kai loe nang khaeah angzoh han kam cuk ai, tiah ka poek: toe lokmu maeto mah thui ah, ka tamna loe ngantui tih.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Kai doeh ukhaih thungah kaom kami maeto ah ni ka oh toeng, kai tlim ah misatuh kami oh o mangh, maeto khaeah, Caeh ah, tiah ka thuih naah, anih to caeh: kalah maeto hanah, Angzoh, tiah ka thuih naah, anih to angzoh; ka tamna khaeah hae hmuen hae sah ah, tiah ka thuih pae naah, a sak, tiah a naa.For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

9Jesu mah anih ih loknawk to thaih naah, dawnrai, a hnukbang paroeai kaminawk khaeah angqoi moe, Kang thuih o, hae tiah kalen tanghaih ka hnu vai ai, ka hnu ai, Israel kaminawk salakah ka hnu vai ai vop, tiah a naa.When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”

10Patoeh ih kaminawk loe im ah amlaem o, to naah ngantui ta ah kaom nganna tamna to a hnuk o.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Jesu loe Nain, tiah kawk ih vangpui ah caeh; a hnukbang kaminawk hoi paroeai kaminawk anih hnukah bang o.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Vangpui khongkha phak tom naah loe, khenah, lamhmai nongpata maeto oh, anih loe capa maeto khue sak, a capa loe duek boeh pongah a qok to angzawnh o: vangpui thung ih paroeai kaminawk loe lamhmai hoi nawnto caeh o.As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

13Angraeng mah lamhmai to hnuk naah, anih to tahmen moe, lamhmai khaeah, Qah hmah, tiah a naa.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Anih loe caeh moe, cakrang to sui: to naah qok angzawn kaminawk to angdoet o. Anih mah, Thendoeng, kang thuih, Angthawk ah, tiah a naa.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15To naah kadueh kami to angthawk moe, lok apaeh. Anih mah thendoeng to amno khaeah paek.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16To naah kaminawk boih mah zit o moe, Sithaw to saphaw o: aicae khaeah kalen tahmaa angphong boeh; Sithaw loe angmah ih kaminawk khaeah angzoh boeh, tiah thuih o.A sense of awe swept over all of them, and they glorified God. “A great prophet has appeared among us!” they said. “God has visited His people!”

17To tamthang loe Judea prae hoi a taengah kaom prae boih ah amthang.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Johan hnukbang kaminawk mah anih khaeah hae tiah kaom hmuen kawngnawk to a thuih pae o boih.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Johan mah a hnukbang kami hnetto kawk moe, nihnik to Jesu khaeah patoeh, Nang loe angzo han koi Anih to boeh maw? To tih ai boeh loe kalah kami to ka zing o han vop maw? tiah lok a duengsak.So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

20Nihnik Anih khaeah phak hoi naah, nihnik mah, Tuinuemhaih paekkung Johan mah nang khaeah ang patoeh, Nang loe angzo han koi Anih to boeh maw, to tih ai boeh loe kalah kami to ka zing o han vop maw ti? tiah lok ang duengsak, tiah a naa hoi.When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

21To nathuem roe ah Anih mah congca nathaih tawn kaminawk, nganna kaminawk hoi taqawksae tawn kaminawk to ngantuisak; pop parai mikmaengnawk doeh mik amtuengsak.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Jesu mah nihnik khaeah, Johan khaeah amlaem hoi let ah loe, na hnuk hoi moe, na thaih hoi ih hmuennawk to Johan khaeah thui pae hoih; mikmaeng loe mik amtueng boeh, khokkhaem kami doeh lamcaeh boeh, ngansae man kami loe ciim boeh, naapang kami mah lok to thaih boeh, kadueh kaminawk angthawk o boeh moe, kamtang kaminawk khaeah kahoih tamthanglok thuih o boeh, tiah a naa.So He replied, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.

23Mi kaw baktih doeh kai pongah palungboeng ai kami loe, tahamhoih, tiah a naa.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Johan mah patoeh ih kami hnik amlaem hoi pacoengah, anih mah kaminawk khaeah Johan kawng to thuih pae, Tih hnuk han ih maw praezaek ah na caeh o? Takhi mah hmuh naah, ahnuk ahma kamtimh phroh kung khet han ih maw?After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?

25To tih ai boeh loe tih khet han ih maw na caeh o? Khukbuen kanaem angkhuk kami khet han ih maw? Khenah, kahoih khukbuen hoi kamthoep, kanawm ah khosah kami loe, siangpahrang im ah ni oh.Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.

26Nangcae loe tih hnuk han ih maw na caeh o? Tahmaa maeto khet han ih maw? Ue, kang thuih o, tahmaa maeto pongah doeh a len kue.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Anih kawng pongah, Khenah, na hmaa ah tamthang sinkung kang patoeh han, anih mah na hmaa ah na loklam to tuh tih, tiah tarik ih oh.This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’

28Kang thuih o, Nongpatanawk mah tapen ih kami thungah tuinuem paekkung Johan pongah kalen kue tahmaa om ai vop: toe Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae ih kathoeng koek kami loe anih pongah len kue, tiah a naa.I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29Kaminawk boih hoi tamut cong kaminawk mah, Johan ih lok to thaih o naah, Sithaw to saphaw o moe, Johan mah paek ih tuinuemhaih to hnuk o.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Toe Farasinawk hoi kaalok kop kaminawk mah loe, Sithaw lok to tapom o ai, angmacae hoi angmacae to lok angaek o pongah, Johan khaeah tuinuem o ai.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Angraeng mah, Hae dung ih kaminawk loe tih hoiah maw ka patah han? Nihcae loe tih hoiah maw anghmong o?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Nihcae loe hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah anghnu nawktanawk mah, Maeto hoi maeto ang kawk o moe, Tamoi kang ueng o thuih, toe na hnaw o ai; qahhaih lok hoiah kang oi o thuih, toe na qah o ai, tiah thuih ih lok hoiah ni anghmong o.They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33Johan loe angzoh moe, buh to caa ai, misurtui doeh nae ai, to naah nangcae mah, Anih loe taqawk tawnh, tiah na naa o.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Kami Capa angzoh naah loe, a caak moe, a naek, to naah nangcae mah, Zok amoeh, misurtui amoeh kami, tamut cong kaminawk hoi kazae kaminawk ih ampui ho khen oh! tiah na naa o.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Toe a caanawk mah palunghahaih to amtuengsak, tiah a naa.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Farasi kami maeto mah anih to buh caak hanah kawk: to pongah anih loe buh caak hanah Farasi im ah caeh moe, buhkung ah anghnut.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Khenah, to vangpui thungah kaom kami zae, nongpata maeto mah Jesu loe buh caak hanah Farasi kami im ah caeh, tiah a thaih naah, alabaster hmuihoih tui tabu maeto a sin,When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38anih hnuk bang ih khok taengah angdoet moe, a qah, mikkhraetui hoiah anih ih khok to pasaeh pae moe, a sam hoiah a huk pae, anih ih khok to pahnuem moe, hmuihoih tui hoiah pazut pae.As she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears and wipe them with her hair. Then she kissed His feet and anointed them with the perfume.

39To hmuen to anih buh caak han kawk Farasi kami mah hnuk naah, Hae kami loe tahmaa ah om nahaeloe, anih sui kami loe kawbaktih nongpata maw, tito panoek tih: nongpata loe kami zae ni, tito anih mah panoek han oh, tiah palung thung hoiah a poek.When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

40Jesu mah anih khaeah, Simon, lok kang thuih han, tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, Patukkung, thui khae, tiah a naa.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Jesu mah, Kami long hnetto loe phoisa tawnkung khaeah phoisa a coi hoi: maeto mah phoisa cumvai pangato coi, kalah maeto mah quipangato coi.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42A coi hoi ih phoisa to pathok hoi thai ai pongah, phoisa coi han paekkung mah nihnik to loihsak hmaek. Nihnik thungah mi mah maw phoisa coi han paekkung to palung kue tih, na thui ah, tiah a naa.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simon mah, Phoisa kapop ah coi kami mah palung kue tih, tiah ka poek, tiah a naa. Jesu mah anih khaeah, Na thuih ih lok loe amsoem, tiah a naa.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Nongpata khaeah angqoi moe, Simon khaeah, Hae nongpata hae na hnuk maw? Na im ah kang zoh naah, khok pasaehhaih tui mataeng doeh nang paek ai: toe anih mah loe ka khok hae mikkhraetui hoiah pasaeh moe, a sam hoiah huk.And turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

45Kai nang mok vai ai: toe hae nongpata mah loe imthung ah ka kun nathuem hoi kamtong boeng ai ah ka khok hae a mok.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Ka lu ah ungsi nang nok pae vai ai: toe hae nongpata mah loe ka khok hae hmuihoih tui hoiah ang nok pae.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47To pongah kang thuih o, Nongpata mah thui laek ai amlunghaih to amtuengsak pongah, anih ih pop parai zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh: toe zaehaih zetta tahmen kami loe amlunghaih zetta ni a tawnh, tiah a naa.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Anih mah nongpata khaeah, Na zaehaihnawk loe tahmen boeh, tiah a naa.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49To naah anih hoi nawnto buh caak han anghnu kaminawk mah, Zaehaihnawk tahmen thaih hae kami loe mi maw? tiah angmacae palung thung hoiah a thuih o.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Jesu mah nongpata khaeah, Na tanghaih mah ang pahlong boeh; kamongta ah caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
