Luke 11 (CTH) · Opened

1Hahoi, hnin touh hnin vah, Bawipa teh hmuen buet touh koevah a ratoum teh a baw hnukkhu, a hnukkâbang buet touh ni Bawipa, Jawhan ni a hnukkâbangnaw ratoumnae a pâtu e patetlah kaimouh hai na pâtu awh haw telah atipouh.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.”

2Bawipa ni nangmanaw ni na ratoum awh navah na dei awh hane teh, kalvan kho kaawm e kaimae na Pa, na min barinae awm lawiseh, na uknaeram tho lawiseh.So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3Na ngainae teh kalvan kho akuep e patetlah talai van hai kuep lawiseh, hnintangkuem von kawk khuem rawca pou na poe haw.Give us each day our daily bread.

4Kaimae tak dawk yonnae kasaknaw, kaimouh ni ka ngaithoum e patetlah kaimae ka yonnae hai na ngaithoum haw, yon tacueknae thung kaimanaw na hrawi hanh. Tamikahawihoehe koehoi na hlout sak haw telah tet awh, atipouh.And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Hathnukkhu hoi bout a dei e teh, nangmouh thung dawk tami buet touh ni a hui buet touh a tawn teh, karumsaning vah hote a hui im a cei teh, ka hui,Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6kahlong lahoi ka hui buet touh a tho. Ka paca hane banghai ka tawn hoeh dawkvah vaiyei kathum touh na cawi sak ei telah atipouh.because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

7Imkung ni kai koe hrawang hanh, takhang hai ka khan toe, ka canaw hai koung a i awh toung dawkvah ka thaw vaiteh na poe thai mahoeh telah imthungkhu hoi atipouh han.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.’

8Ka deingainae teh, hote tami teh a hui lah ao dawkvah, a lungpout laipalah a hei dawkvah a ngai e pueng a thaw vaiteh a poe han.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.

9Bout ka dei ngainae teh het awh, na poe han. Tawng awh na pâphawng han. Tho takhawng awh, na takhawng pawiteh paawng pouh lah ao han.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.

10Ka het e tami teh a poe. Ka tawng e tami teh a pâphawng. Ka takhawng e tami teh a paawng pouh.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11Apipatet e na pa ni maw a ca ni tanga moi a hei navah tahrun moi ouk a poe boi.What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12Âdui a hei navah aikam moi ouk poe boi yaw.Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13Nangmanaw ni tami kahawihoeh lah na o awh nakunghai, na canaw poehno kahawi ouk na poe pawiteh hot hlakvah nangmae kalvanlae na Pa ni ka hete taminaw hah, Kathoung Muitha hoe poe mahoeh maw telah atipouh.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!”

14Hahoi hnin touh navah, a lawk ka a e kahrai a pâlei teh, kahrai a tâco hnukkhu lawka teh lawk a dei. Kamkhueng e taminaw teh a kângairu awh.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,

15Tami tangawn ni hete tami ni kahraituilinaw e bawi Beelzebub e min lahoi doeh kahraituilinaw a pâlei ati awh.but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”

16A tangawn ni, tanouk hane a ngai awh teh, kalvan lahoi e mitnoutnae a hei awh.And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.

17Bawipa ni ahnimae lungthin a panue dawkvah, uknaeram hai buet touh hoi buet touh kâtaran pawiteh a kâkapek han. Hot patetlah imthungkhu hai kâpo hoehpawiteh a rawk han.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.

18Kai ni Beelzebub e min lahoi kahraituilinaw ka pâlei pawiteh, Setan e uknaeram bangtelamaw a kangcoung thai han.If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

19Kai ni Beelzebub e min lahoi kahraituilinaw ka pâlei toung pawiteh nangmae na canaw ni teh apie min lahoi maw a pâlei awh han. Hatdawkvah ahnimanaw ni nangmanaw lawkcengkung lah ao han.And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

20Kai ni Cathut e kutdawn hoi kahraituilinaw ka pâlei pawiteh, nangmouh koe Cathut uknaeram a kangduenae tueng teh a pha katang toe.But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21A thakasai e ni senehmaica a puengcang kakuep lahoi amae toeim dawk ao navah, hnopainaw dawk lungtâsuenae awm hoeh.When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.

22Hatei ahni hlak thakasai e tami a tho teh pet a tâ torei doeh ahni ni kâuepkhai e senehmaica a puengcangnaw a la vaiteh, a tawn e hnopainaw hai ayânaw a rei han.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 kaawm hoeh e tami teh kai na taran e doeh. Kai hoi cungtalah kamkhueng hoeh e tami teh kampek e doeh.He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

24Kakhine muitha teh a tâco hnukkhu, a kâhat nahane hmuen a tawng. A pâphawng hoeh dawkvah yampa ka onae im dawk ka ban han a titeh,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.’

25A tangtho navah, hote im teh a houng teh apicai e a hmu.On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

26Hat torei teh ama hlak ka mathout e muitha a hui sari touh a hrawi teh hote tami thung a kâen awh. Hote tami teh hmaloe e hlak a hnukkhu e hoe a mathoe telah atipouh.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.”

27Hottelah a dei navah napui buet touh ni taminaw e a rahak hoi a dei e teh, Bawipa nang na ka vawn e napui hoi sanu na ka pânei e napui teh a yawhawi telah atipouh.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!”

28Jisuh ni Cathut e lawk ka thai ni teh ka tarawi e tami doeh a yawkahawi e tami telah atipouh.But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

29Hahoi tami muen a kamkhueng awh dawkvah, Bawipa ni hete miphun teh miphun kathout doeh. Mitnoutnae a hei navah, profet Jawnah e mitnoutnae hloilah, bangpatet e mitnoutnae hai kamnuek sak mahoeh.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.

30Jawnah ni Nineveh kho dawk e taminaw hanelah mitnoutnae lah ao e patetlah tami Capa hai hete miphunnaw hanelah ao han.For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

31Lawkceng navah aka lae ram ka uk e siangpahrangnu ni hete miphun koe lah a kangdue vaiteh a sung sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh hote siangpahrangnu teh Solomon e lungangnae lawk tarawi hanelah, talai pout koe lahoi a tho. Hete hmuen koe Solomon hlak ka talue e tami ao.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.

32Lawkceng navah, Nineveh kho e taminaw teh hete miphunnaw hoi cungtalah a thaw vaiteh, hete miphunnaw a yonnae a kamnue sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimanaw teh Jawnah ni a dei e lawk dawk hoi pankângai awh. Hete hmuen koe Jawnah hlak kalen e tami ao.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.

33Apinihai hmaiim paang navah ouk ramuk bawi hoeh, tangthung hoi hai ouk ramuk bawi hoeh. Ka kâennaw ni angnae a hmu thai nahanelah, hmaiimkhok dawk doeh ouk ta awh.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.

34Na mit teh na takthai hanelah hmaiim lah ao dawkvah na mit ang pawiteh na tak abuemlah a ang han. Na mitmawm pawiteh na tak abuemlah a hmo han.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.

35Na tak dawk e angnae hah, hmonae lah na coung sak hoeh nahan kâhruetcuet awh.Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36Puengcang buet touh boehai hmonae cakang lah awm laipalah, na tak abuemlah ang pawiteh, hmaiim teh nangmouh a ang e patetlah na tak abuemlah koung a ang han telah atipouh.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.”

37Hahoi hettelah a dei navah, Farasi tami buet touh ni bu ca hanelah a kaw teh caboi dawk a tahung.As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38Bu a ca hoehnahlan kut kamsin hoeh e Farasi tami ni a hmu navah a kângairu.But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39Jisuh ni Farasi nangmanaw, avanlah doeh manang, ailo na pâle awh. Athunglah teh hounlounnae, hawihoehnae hoi doeh na kawi awh.Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Tamipathunaw, avan lae ka sak e Cathut ni athung lae hai sak hoeh maw.You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41Hot hlak hoe kahawi e teh, na sak thai toteh mathoenaw hah poe awh, telah na sak pawiteh hno puengpa ni na thoungsak awh han.But give as alms the things that are within you, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42Farasinaw, nangmouh teh na yawthoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, songpam, songkeng hoi anhlanaw totouh, pung hra pung touh na poe awh navah, lannae hoi Cathut lungpatawnae teh banglahai na noutna awh hoeh. Apasuek dei e naw hai cettakhai laipalah, a hnukkhu dei e naw hai tarawi awh.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.

43Farasinaw, nangmanaw teh na yawthoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sinakok dawk ka talue e hmuen koehoi hno yonae koevah ayâ ni bari e hah lung na pataw awh.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw, kakâsaknaw teh na yawthoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ka kamnuek hoeh e phuen hoi na kâvan awh. Hote tangkom van kacetnaw ni phuen ao e panuek awh hoeh telah atipouh.Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”

45Hahoi kâlawk kacangkhaikung buet touh ni Bawipa telah pawiteh kaimouh hai yon na pen awh maw, telah atipouh navah,One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46Kâlawk kacangkhainaw, nangmouh teh na yawthoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, phu thai hoeh e hno ayânaw van na patue awh. Namamouh teh kutdawn hoi boehai na tek awh hoeh.“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.

47Nangmouh teh na yawthoe awh. Na mintoenaw ni a thei e profetnaw e phuen na sak awh.Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48Hatdawkvah nangmouh teh, na mintoenaw e nuencang na tarawi awh. Na mintoenaw ni profetnaw teh a thei awh toe. Nangmouh ni phuen na sak awh.So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49Hatdawkvah Cathut lungangnae ni profetnaw hoi gunceinaw hah ahnimanaw aonae koe patoun han. Ahnimanaw thung dawk tami tangawn teh a pacekpahlek han, tangawn teh a thei awh han.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.’

50Hatdawkvah, Abel e a thi koehoi a kamtawng vaiteh, thuengnae hoi bawkim rahak vah a thei awh e Zekhariah e a thi totouh, talaivan kamtawngnae koehoi palawng tangcoung lah kaawm e profetnaw pueng e a thipaling phu teh hete miphunnaw koe ka suk han.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,

51Kai ni atangcalah ka dei e teh hete miphunnaw koe hote thipaling phu ka suk han telah kai ni ka dei.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.

52Kâlawk kacangkhainaw, nangmouh teh na yawthoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh panuenae cabi teh na kuem awh. Namamouh hai na kâen awh hoeh, kâen han kangainaw hai na ngang awh, telah atipouh.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.”

53Hottelah taminaw koe a dei pouh navah, cakathutkungnaw hoi Farasinaw ni Bawipa dawk yon a pen thai nahanelah,As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

54a pawp awh teh lawk a dei e man thai nahane a tawng awh teh a konglam a cawngca a pacei awh.waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
