Matthew 9 (CTH)

1Hahoi, Jisuh ni long dawk a kâcui teh, a ma onae kho tui namran lah a pha navah,Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.

2a kutkhok kamkhuen e tami buet touh ikhun dawk sut ka yan e hah ama koe a thokhai awh. Jisuh ni hotnaw e yuemnae hah a hmu navah, ka kamkhuen e tami hanelah, ka capa, kângai hanh. Na yon ngaithoum lah ao toe.Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3Cakathutkungnaw tangawn ni teh Cathut ka tapuet lah lawk a dei telah a pouk awh.On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”

4Jisuh ni hotnaw e lungpouk hah a hmu navah, nangmouh ni bangkongmaw utsinnae lung na tawn awh.But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?

5Bang lawk maw dei bet ka yawihnawn. Na yon ngaithoum lah ao toe tie maw bet ka yawihnawn, nahoeh teh thaw nateh cet leih tie maw bet ka yawihnawn.Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?

6Tami Capa teh talaivan vah yon ngaithoum thainae kâtawnnae ka tawn tie nangmouh ni na panue awh nahanelah, thaw leih. Na phailei hah sin nateh nama im vah cet leih, telah ka kamkhuen e tami hah atipouh.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

7Ahni ni a thaw teh a ma im vah a cei.And the man got up and went home.

8Tami kamkhuengnaw ni a hmu awh navah a kângairu awh teh, taminaw koevah hettelah sak thainae kapoekung kahring Cathut hah a pholen awh.When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

9Hote hmuen koehoi Jisuh a cei navah, tamuk cawngnae im dawk ka tahung e Matthai hah a hmu navah, ka hnuk kâbang haw atipouh. Ahni hai a thaw teh, a hnuk a kâbang.As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

10Hathnukkhu imthung bu ca hanlah a tahung navah, tamuk kacawngnaw hoi tamikathoutnaw a tho awh teh, a hnukkâbangnaw hoi rawca reirei a ven awh.Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

11Farasinaw ni a hmu awh toteh, a hnukkâbangnaw koe, nangmae Bawipa teh bangkongmaw tamuk kacawngnaw, tamikathoutnaw hoi cungtalah reirei a canei vaw, atipouh awh.When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12Jisuh ni a thai navah, a tak kadamnaw ni tâsibawi panki awh hoeh. Kapatawnaw ni doeh a panki awh.On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

13Thuengnae hlak hai pahrennae doeh ka ngai tie na thai panuek awh nahanlah cet a nateh kamtu awh. Tami kalannaw kaw hanlah ka tho hoeh, tamikayonnaw hanelah doeh ka tho, atipouh.But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

14Hatnavah Jawhan e a hnukkâbangnaw ni ahni koe a hnai awh teh, kaimouh hoi Farasinaw ni rawca ka hai awh. Bangkongmaw na hnukkâbangnaw ni rawca a hai awh hoeh vaw, atipouh awh.Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15Jisuh ni, yupaluenkung teh amae a huikonaw hoi rei ao navah, ahnimouh teh a lungmathoe a maw. Yupaluenkung hah a huikonaw hoi kapek teh alouklah ceitakhainae tue ka phat han. Hattoteh ahnimouh ni rawca a hai awh han.Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

16Khohna a kapawn e hah a katha e hoi ouk bo awh hoeh. Hottelah bo pawiteh bonae ni bo e hah vak sawn vaiteh hoe kâphi han.No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

17Hot patetvanlah, phaivuen um karuem dawk misurtui katha e hlun boihoeh. Hottelah hlun pawiteh, phaivuen um karuem tangpawk vaiteh, misurtui a yu han, phaivuen um hai karawk han. Ahruem e misurtui teh a katha e phaivuen um dawk doeh ouk hlun. Hottelah hlun to doeh kahni touh hoi a cuem han, atipouh.Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18Hete lawknaw a dei lahun nah, bawi buet touh a tho teh, a tabo laihoi Bawipa, ka canu teh atuhlangca a due toe. Hatei, na tho teh, a van vah na kut na toung sin pawiteh bout a hring han atipouh.While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

19Jisuh ni a thaw teh a hnukkâbangnaw hoi ahnie a hnuk a kâbang awh.So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

20Hatnavah, kum hlaikahni touh thung thikui patawnae ka tawn e napui buet touh ni,Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

21a kâkhu e hni pawi ma hah dek ka tek pawiteh ka dam han telah a pouk dawkvah, rek a hnai teh hni pawi hah dek a tek.She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”

22Jisuh ni a kamlang teh hote napui hah a hmu navah, ka canu, kângai hanh. Na yuemnae ni na patawnae a dam sak toe, atipouh. Hat nah hote napui teh a patawnae a dam pouh.Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that very hour.

23Bawi im a pha awh toteh, tapueng longpan kakhawngnaw hoi taminaw teh ruengrueng ati awh e a hmu navah,When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

24na phoun awh haw, napui ca teh kadout e nahoeh, ka ip e doeh, atipouh. Hahoi ahnimanaw ni a panuikhai awh.“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

25Haw e taminaw hah koung a tâco sak teh, imthungkhu a kâen, napui ca e a kut dawk a tek pouh tahma vah, napui ca teh hluet a thaw.After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.

26Hote kamthang teh khoram pueng dawk a kamthang.And the news about this spread throughout that region.

27Jisuh ni hote hmuen koehoi a tâco navah, a mit ka dawn e tami kahni touh ni a hnuk a kâbang roi teh, Devit capa, kaimouh roi heh na pahren haw, telah a hramki roi.As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28Imthung a kâen navah a mit ka dawn e roi ni rek a hnai roi. Bawipa ni hete heh kai ni ka coung sak thai tie hah na yuem roi maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh roi ni, ka yuem Bawipa ati roi.After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

29Ahnimouh roi e a mit dawk a tek pouh teh, na yuemnae patetlah nangmouh roi koe awmseh, atipouh navah ahnimouh roi e mit teh a ang.Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

30Jisuh ni, apihai panuek sak roi hanh lah a, telah kâhruetcuetnae a poe.And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

31Hatei, ahnimouh roi ni a cei roi teh, hote kamthang hah ram thung pueng a pathang roi.But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

32Ahnimanaw a cei a hnukkhu, kahrai ni a man e tamipathu buet touh ama koe a hrawi awh.As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.

33A thung e kahrai a pâlei pouh toteh, hote ka pathu e ni lawk a dei. Ka kamkhueng e pueng teh a kângai lah a ru awh teh, Isarel miphun dawk het patetlah e hmawt boihoeh rah ati awh.And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34Farasinaw ni kahraituilinaw e bawi a kâuep laihoi doeh kahraituilinaw a pâlei ati awh.But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”

35Jisuh ni khopui khote pueng dawk a cei teh, sinakoknaw dawkvah uknaeram kamthang kahawi hah a cangkhai. Patawnae a cawngca hoi kapatawnaw a dam sak.Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.

36Ahnimanaw teh ngawt a tawn awh toung dawkvah, tukhoumkung kaawm hoeh e, pahnawt e tunaw patetlah a hmu.When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

37Hatnavah, Jisuh ni, canga hane moi ao. Ka tawk e naw teh a younca.Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

38Hatdawkvah, law katawnkung koe ratoum awh, canga sak hanelah thawtawkkung a patoun thai nahanlah atipouh.Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
