Luke 8 (CTH) · Opened

1Hat hnukkhu hoi Jisuh teh kho touh hoi kho touh a cei teh Cathut uknaeram lunghawinae kamthang a pâpho.Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2A hnukkâbang hlaikahni touh ni a hnuk a kâbang awh. Patawnae hoi muitha kathoutnaw ni a tek e dawk hoi ka hlout e napuinaw hai a kâbang awh. Hote napui thung dawk kahraituilinaw sari touh ni a tâco takhai e Magdalin telah a kaw awh e Meri hoi,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Herod yung thaw ka tawk e Khuza e a yu Joanna hoi Shusanna hoi, a tawn e hno ka pasoung ni teh Jisuh hoi a hnukkâbangnaw ka paca, ka pânei e, alouke napuinaw hai ao awh.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Tamihupui, kho avoivang lahoi Bawipa koe a tho awh teh, a kamkhueng awh navah bangnuenae lahoi a dei pouh e teh,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5Cati kaheikung ni cati kahei hanelah a tâco. Cati a kahei navah a tangawn teh lam dawk a bo dawkvah, khok hoi a coungroe awh teh kalvan e tavanaw ni koung a patu.“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6Cati tangawn teh talung van vah a bo dawkvah a paw eiteh talai kahawi ao hoeh dawkvah tang a kamyai teh a ke.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7A tangawn teh pâkhing um a bo dawkvah, pâkhing ni a yawngyen.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8A tangawn teh talai kahawi dawk a bo dawkvah, a paw teh alet cum touh totouh apung teh a paw a paw telah ati. Hottelah a dei hnukkhu vah, thainae hnâ ka tawn pueng ni thai na seh, telah a hramkhai.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9A hnukkâbangnaw ni hete bangnuenae teh bangmaw a dei ngai telah Bawipa a pacei awh.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Jisuh ni nangmouh teh Cathut uknaeram hrolawk hah panuethainae na poe awh. Alouke taminaw teh, a hmu awh ei nout thai hoeh nahanelah, a thai awh ei a panue thai hoeh nahanelah ahnimouh koe bangnuenae lahoi ka dei pouh.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11Hote bangnuenae teh hettelah ao. Cati teh Cathut e lawk doeh.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Lam dawk kabawt e cati teh, a lawk a thai eiteh, yuemnae, hloutnae dawk a pha thai hoeh nahanelah Kahraimathout ni a tho teh, a lung thung e Cathut lawk hah, oun a lawp ti dei ngainae doeh.The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13Talung van ka bawt e cati dei ngainae teh, a lawk thai navah lunghawicalah hoi tang a dâw ei, a lung thung a tangpha a payang hoeh dawkvah, Cathut lawk kecu dawk, runae hoi rektapnae a kâhmo toteh tang a rawp ti ngainae doeh.The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14Pâkhing um ka bawt e cati, tie a dei ngainae teh Cathut lawk a thai teh, talai hno dawk lungpuennae, hnopai ni dumyennae hoi, alouke hnonaw noenae lungthin ni a katek dawkvah a paw paw thai hoeh ti ngainae doeh.The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15Talai kahawi dawk ka bawt e cati tie a dei ngainae teh, thoungnae hoi lannae lungthin hoi Cathut lawk a thai teh lungsaw lahoi pou a hringkhai tie a dei ngainae doeh.But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16Hmaiim paang e teh hlaam hoi ouk ramuk boihoeh. Ikhun rahim hai tat boihoeh. Ka kâen e taminaw ni angnae a hmu thai nahanelah hmaiimkhok dawk doeh ouk paang awh.No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17A hmonae koe kaawm e pueng koung a kamnue han, ramuk lah kaawm e naw pueng koung kamawng han.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Hatdawkvah nangmouh ni na thai e lawknaw kâhruetcuet awh. Ka tawn e tami teh bout poe sin lah o han. Ka mathoe e tami teh a tawn e ca patenghai la pouh lah ao han telah a ti.Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19Hatnavah a manu hoi a nawnghanaw teh Bawipa koe a tho awh. Kamkhueng e tami apap poung dawkvah Jisuh koe phat thai awh hoeh.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Tami tangawn ni na manu hoi, na nawnghanaw ni na kâhmo han na ngai awh teh alawilah a kangdue awh telah atipouh navah,He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Ahni ni Cathut e lawk ka thai ni teh ka tarawi e taminaw doeh kaie ka manu, ka nawngha atipouh.But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Hnin touh hnin vah, Jisuh teh a hnukkâbangnaw hoi cungtalah long dawk a luen awh teh tui namran lah cet awh sei ati awh teh a cei awh.One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23Tui dawk a cei awh navah, Bawipa teh a i. Hatnavah tûilî a tho dawkvah long dawk tui yikkawi teh runae a kâhmo awh.As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24A hnukkâbangnaw ni Bawipa teh a pâhlaw hnukkhu, Bawipa, Bawipa maimanaw rawknae koe pha a han toe atipouh awh navah, ahni ni, tûilî hoi tuicapa a yue teh a roum sak.The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25Ahni ni na yuemnae na maw na ta awh, telah a pacei navah, ahnimanaw ni hete tami teh bangpatet e tami nama aw. Tui hoi tûilî patenghai kâ a poe bo teh, ahnimouh ni a lawk a ngai pouh bo aw telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpankhai awh.“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26Galilee ram tui namran lah kaawm e Kerasen ram dawk a pha awh.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Jisuh teh a oung lah a luen navah, atueng moi kasawlah kahraituilinaw ni a man e tami, angki hai kho hoeh, im dawk hai awmhoeh, phuen koe ouk kaawm e Kerasen tami buet touh ni Jisuh teh a dawn.When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28Bawipa a hmu navah a tabo teh, Lathueng Poung Cathut Capa Jisuh, nang teh kai hoi bangmaw na kâkuet. Kai na rektap hoeh nahanlah pahrennae kahei telah a hramki laihoi a dei.When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29A deingainae teh, Jisuh ni kakhine muitha tami thung hoi tâcawt telah kâ a poe toung dawk doeh. Hote tami teh kahrai ni ngailawi a tek toung dawkvah, ahni teh a khok roi dawk hlong a buet pouh awh, sumbawtarui hoi a katek awh ei soumsoum a tapo teh hlong hai rekrek a hem teh kahrawngum lah, kahrai ni ouk a hrawi.For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30Jisuh ni na min apimaw ti teh a pacei navah, hote tami teh kahraituilinaw ni a tek dawkvah ransahupui telah atipouh.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Hathnukkhu hoi kahrainaw ni ka dungpoung e hmuen koe pâlei hane kâ a poe hoeh nahanelah a kâhei awh.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Hote hmuen koevah, vok moikapap teh a paca awh. Hote voknaw thungvah na kâen sak loe telah a kâhei awh navah Jisuh ni kâenh atipouh.There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33Hatnavah, kahraituilinaw tami thung hoi a tâco awh teh vok thung vah a kâen awh. Voknaw teh pango dawk a tâto awh teh, talî dawk a kâphum awh teh, koung a due awh.Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34Vok ka khoumnaw ni a kâhmo e hno hah khopui khote koe lah a yawng awh teh a dei awh.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Tami moikapap teh hote hno khet hanelah a tho awh. Jisuh koe a tho awh nah kahraituilinaw ni a man e tami teh hni a kâkhu teh lung kacaicalah hoi Jisuh e khok koe a tahung e hah a hmu awh navah a taki awh.So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36Kahraituilinaw ni a man e tami a damnae kong hah kahmawtnaw ni alouke taminaw koe patuen a dei pouh awh.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Karasen ram dawk e taminaw pueng ni a taki awh dawkvah ahnimouh koehoi tâco hanelah Bawipa koe a kâhei awh. Bawipa hai long dawk a luen teh a ban.Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38Kahraituilinaw pâlei pouh e tami ni kai hai nang koe kâbang van han telah a kâhei.The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39Jisuh ni nama im cet nateh, na imthungnaw koevah, Cathut ni nang koe pahrennae a sak e hah dei loe titeh a ban sak. Ahni ni a cei teh Jisuh ni a lathueng a sak e naw pueng kho thung a dei pouh.“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40Jisuh teh a ban navah, taminaw pueng ni Bawipa ngaihawi laihoi a dawn awh.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Hatnavah, sinakok ka uk e Jairus tie Bawipa koe a tho teh a khok koevah a tabo.Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Kum hlaikahni touh nueng ka phat e canu buet touh a tawn e meimei a due dawkvah, Jisuh a im vah tho hanelah a kaw teh a tho navah, taminaw teh Bawipa koe a kâen awh.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Hatnavah a kum hlaikahni touh thung thikui ni teh a hnopai pueng tâsibawi koe koung a pâbaw khai teh ka dam thai hoeh e napui buet touh teh,including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44a hnuk lahoi a hnai teh a hni pawi a tek navah a tek tahma a thikuinae teh tang a dam.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jisuh ni apimaw kai na tek, telah a pacei navah taminaw pueng ni a kâtang awh. Piter hoi a huinaw ni, Bawipa, tamihupui ni nang na kânep e hah kai apinimaw na tek khuet na ti vaw telah atipouh awh.“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Jisuh nihai, tami buetbuet touh ni kai na tek toe. Ka tak dawk hoi bahu a tâco e ka panue telah atipouh.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Hote napui ni ka kâhrawk thai mahoeh ti a kâpanue dawkvah, a pâyaw laihoi a tho teh bang patet e kong dawk maw a tek ti hai thoseh, tang a damnae kong hai thoseh, taminaw e hmalah a tabo teh a pâpho.Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48Jisuh ni, ka canu na lungpuen hanh. Na yuemnae ni na dam sak toe, lungmawngcalah hoi cet leih atipouh.“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Telah atipouh navah, sinakok ka uk e im dawk hoi tami buet touh a tho teh, nange na canu a due toe. Saya teh tarawk hanh lawih atipouh.While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50Jisuh ni a thai navah, taket hanh awh. Yuemnae buet touh dueng mah tawn awh. Telah na tawn awh pawiteh rucatnae dawk hoi na hlout han telah sinakok ka uk e koe atipouh.But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Im dawk a pha navah, Piter, Jawhan, Jem hoi napui ca e a manu hoi a na pa hloilah apihai a kâen hoeh nahanelah a cakâ.When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52Taminaw pueng ni a khuikakhai awh navah, Jisuh ni kap hanh awh. Camo teh dout hoeh, ka ip e doeh, atipouh.Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Napui ca a due e hah ahnimanaw ni a panue awh dawkvah, Bawipa teh a panuikhai awh.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Hote taminaw alawilah koung a tâco sak hnukkhu, camo e a kut a kuet pouh teh, camo thaw leih telah a kaw.But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Hatnavah ahnie muitha teh a thung bout a kâen dawkvah camo teh tang a thaw. Hahoi rawca poe hanelah kâ a poe.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56Hattoteh a manu hoi napanaw teh a kângairu awh. Hatei, hete hnonaw heh api koehai dei hoeh hanelah lawk a thui.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
