Luke 7 (CTH) · Opened

1Jisuh ni taminaw koe cangkhainae a pâbaw hnukkhu, Kapernuam kho thung a kâen.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Hote kho dawk ransabawi e a san a pataw teh due hane coungkacoe lah ao.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Hote tami teh a bawipa ni a pahren poung. Jisuh e a kamthang a thai navah, Judahnaw dawk e kacuenaw hah a sanpa dam sak hanelah Jisuh koe a patoun.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Jisuh koe a pha awh navah, Bawipa ahni hanelah hete hno na kabawp hanelah atueng.They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5Bangkongtetpawiteh ahni ni kaimae miphun a pahren dawkvah sinakok na sak pouh toe telah pahrennae puenghoi a kâhei.for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Jisuh teh ahnimouh hoi cungtalah a cei. Ransabawi e im koe a pha tawmlei navah, ransabawi ni a huikonaw a patoun teh, Bawipa namahoima patangnae sak han loe. Kaie imthungkhu nang na kâen hane kamcu hoeh.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.

7Hot patetlah nang koe ka tho hanelah ka kamcu hoeh. Lawk kam touh mah na dei pawiteh ka san teh a dam han doeh.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Bangnuenae lah, kai teh kâtawnnae rahim thaw ka tawk e tami buet touh lah ka o eiteh, ka kut rahim e ransanaw buet touh cet ka tetpawiteh a cei han. Tho ka tetpawiteh a tho han. San haiyah hete thaw tawk ti boum teh a tawk telah ransabawi ni atipouh.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.”

9Hote lawk Jisuh ni a thai navah a kângairu teh, a hnukkâbangnaw koe a kamlang teh, nangmouh koe na dei pouh awh. Het patetlah yuemnae ka tawn e Isarelnaw dawk pateng hai kahmawt boihoeh rah atipouh.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.”

10Ransabawi ni a patoun e naw im bout a pha navah, ka dam e a sanpa teh a hmu awh.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11A tangtho hnin vah, Nain kho dawk a cei teh a hnukkâbangnaw hoi tamihupui teh a hnuk a kâbang awh.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Kho thung e longkha koe a pha navah, lahmainu ni a capa buet touh dueng a tawn e kadout e ro pakawp hanelah kho alawilah a tâcokhai navah kho thung e taminaw hai a kâbang awh.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.

13Bawipa ni hote napui a hmu navah a pahren teh, kap hanh telah atipouh.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Hathnukkhu, Jisuh ni a hnai teh, ro hrawmnae ratang a tek teh ka hrawm e taminaw a kâhat awh. Bawipa ni nange thoundoun thaw leih, kai ni kâ na poe telah atipouh.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Ka dout e tami teh a tahung teh lawk a tho. Jisuh ni hote tami hah a manu koevah a poe.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Taminaw pueng ni a taki awh teh, profet kalenpounge maimouh koe a tho toe. Cathut teh amae a miphunnaw a khetyawt hanelah a tho toe, ati awh teh Cathut a pholen awh.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!”

17Hote kamthang teh Judah ram koehoi a tengpam pueng koe koung a kâkahei.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Jawhan e a hnukkâbangnaw ni hote a konglam abuemlahoi Jawhan koe a dei pouh awh.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Hatnavah Jawhan ni a hnukkâbang e tami kahni touh a kaw teh Jisuh koe a patoun teh, Bawipa, nang teh ka tho hane hah toung na maw. Hoehpawiteh alouke ka ngaihawi awh han rah maw telah a pacei sak.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?”

20Ahnimouh roi teh Jisuh koe a pha navah, Bawipa, nang teh ka tho hane hah toung na maw, nahoeh pawiteh alouke ka ngaihawi awh han rah maw telah Baptisma Jawhan ni na pacei sak atipouh awh.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?’”

21Hatnae atueng dawkvah, Jisuh teh tami kapatawnaw a dam sak, muitha kathoutnaw a pâlei, mitdawnnaw hah mit a ang sak.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Jisuh ni Jawhan e laiceinaw koe, nangmouh ni na hmu e, na thai e naw pueng Jawhan koe bout dei pouh awh. Khok kamkhuennaw ni lam a cei thai awh, hrikbeinaw ni thoungnae dawk a pha awh. Kadoutnaw ni a thaw awh.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.

23Karoedengnaw ni hai lunghawinae kamthang a thai awh. Kai dawk lung ka pout hoeh e tami teh a yawkahawi e lah ao atipouh.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Jawhan ni patounenaw a cei hnukkhu vah, Jisuh ni Jawhan hoi kâkuen lah taminaw koe a dei pouh e teh bangpatetlae hno hmu han na ngai dawk maw, kahrawngum na cei awh. Kahlî ni a kahuet e lumpum khet hanelah maw na cei awh.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?

25Na hoehpawiteh kanem ca e angki ka kho e khet hanelah maw na cei awh. Angki kahawi ka kho ni teh rawca kahawi ka cat e taminaw teh siangpahrang e toeim dawk doeh ouk ao.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.

26Profet khet hanelah maw na cei awh han. Profet hlak kalen e tami lahai ka o telah kai ni ka dei.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Cakathoung dawk a thut e teh, khenhaw! nang na cei nahane lamthung ka rasoun hanelah patoune teh na hmalah ka patoun toe telah ka dei nah hote tami doeh ka dei ngai.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.’

28Kai ni na dei pouh e teh, napui ni a khe e thung dawk, baptisma Jawhan hlak kalen e profet buet touh boehai awmhoeh. Hateiteh Cathut uknaeram dawk teh kathoengpounge tami hah, ahni hlak a talue.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.”

29Tamuk kacawngnaw hoi taminaw pueng ni Jawhan e lawk a thai navah Cathut a pholen awh teh Jawhan koe baptisma a coe awh.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Farasinaw hoi cakathutkungnaw teh Jawhan ni a poe e baptisma a coe ngai awh hoeh dawkvah, ahnimouh hanelah Cathut ni a pouk pouh e hah a pahnawt awh.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Hatdawkvah hete taminaw bang hoi maw ka bangnue han, api hoi maw a kâvan awh.“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Ahnimanaw teh pawi koe a tahung awh teh ahnimouh hanlah tapueng longpan ka khawng pouh nakunghai lam awh hoeh. Lungmathoenae la sak pouh nakunghai kap awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah hetnaw teh camonaw hoi doeh a kâvan awh.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.’

33Bangkongtetpawiteh, baptisma Jawhan ni vaiyei hoi misurtui catnet laipalah ao navah nangmouh ni, hete tami teh kahrai a thung kâen e doeh na ti pouh awh.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Tami Capa teh a ca a nei hoi ao navah, hete tami teh, ka carawng e tami doeh. Tamuk kacawngnaw, tami kahawihoehnaw hoi kâhuiko e doeh bout na ti pouh awh.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Hatei lungangnae dawk teh amamae a canaw pueng koe pathoenae dawk hoi a hlout telah atipouh.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Farasi buet touh ni bu ca hanelah Jisuh a kaw teh, hote Farasi e im dawk a kâen teh caboi dawk a tahung.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Hatnavah hote kho dawk kaawm e napui kahawihoeh e buet touh ni a panue, talungpangaw bom dawk e hmuitui buet touh a sin teh,When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Jisuh e hnukkhu lah a khok koe a kangdue, a ka teh mitphi hoi a khok a duk sak teh a sam hoi a hui. A khok hai a paco teh hmuitui a hluk.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.

39Bawipa ka kaw e Farasi ni a hmu navah, hete tami hah profet katang pawiteh, a khok ka tek e napui bangpatet e tami maw ti a panue han. Hete napui teh napui kahawihoehe doeh telah a lung thung hoi ati awh.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!”

40Hatnavah, Jisuh ni Simon nang koe ka dei hane lawk buet touh ao atipouh navah, Bawipa dei haw telah bout atipouh.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Jisuh ni hai hno katawnkung koe laiba ka tawn e tami kahni touh ao. Buet touh ni phoisa cumtouh, alouke buet touh ni 50 touh a ba roi.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42Ahnimouh roi ni laiba patho thai hoeh dawkvah, hno katawnkung ni a ngaithoum roi. Hat pawiteh, apipatet e ni maw hno katawnkung hah hoe lungpataw han telah a pacei.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simon nihai, laiba kapap ngaithoum lah kaawm e tami ni hoe a lungpataw han telah, ka pouk atipouh navah Bawipa ni, na pouk e teh a tang doeh atipouh.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Hote napui koe lah a kangvawi teh Simon koe hete napui na hmu maw. Na im dawk ka kâen navah khok pâsu nahane tui na poe hoeh. Hete napui ni teh ka khok dawk mitphi a duk sak teh a sam hoi a hui.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.

45Nang ni kai na paco hoeh, hatei hete napui ni teh im dawk kâen tahma hoi kâhat laipalah ka khok a paco.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Nang ni ka lû dawk satui na hluk pouh hoeh. Hatei, hete napui ni teh ka khok dawk hmuitui hoi na hluk pouh toe.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Hatdawkvah kai ni ka dei e teh, yon moikapap dawk hoi a hlout dawkvah, lungpatawnae moi a kamnue sak. Yon kayounca dueng ngaithoum lah kaawm e ni teh lungpatawnae younca dueng a kamnue sak.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Hote napui hanelah, nang teh na yonnae dawk hoi na hlout toe atipouh.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Caboi dawk ka tahung e naw ni yon ka ngaithoum e tami heh bang patet e tami maw ati awh teh a kâpankhai awh.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Jisuh ni hote napui hanelah, na yuemnae ni na rungngang toe. Lungmawngcalah cet leih atipouh.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
