Luke 7 (DAO) · Opened

1Jesuh naw ngthu pyen law päng lü Kapenawma citki.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Acunüng Romah ngvai naw a jawngnaka m'ya mat thi law hlü khaia a mhnat awmki.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Jesuha mawng a ngjak üng, a m'ya mdaw law be khaia, Jesuh va nghui na u lü, khü khai hea, Judah ngvai he a jah tüih.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Jesuha veia law u lü aktäa nghui naki he naw, “Hina khyang ta na kpüi vaia ngkawi ve,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5ani cun mi khyang he jah jawng na lü, Sinakok pi jah sak peki ni,” ami ti.for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Acuna Jesuh ami veia citki. Acunüng a pha law tawm tawm la Romah ngvai naw a püi he jah tüi lü, “Bawipa aw, ka im na luhnak ngkawi vaia am kya ve, ä kha heia,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.

7acunakyase, na veia ka law vaia pi ka ngkawikia am ngai kyu veng, ngthu däng pyen lü, ka m'ya daw be khai ni.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8“Isetiakyaküng, kei haw anaa takia keha ka awmki. Ka keha yekap he awmki he, mat am ‘cita’ ka ti üng citki, akce mat am ‘lawa’ ka ti üng lawki, ka m'ya am hin pawha ka ti üng pawhki,” a ti.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.”

9Jesuh naw acun a ngjak üng, cäieiki naw, mang hü lü, amät läkia khyang he üng, “Isarel he üng pi ahikba sena jumeiki am hmu khawi nawng,” a ti.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.”

10A khyang tüihe ima ami ceh be üng, m'ya cun daw be se ami hmuh.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Acun käna Jesuh Nai ami tia mlüha cit se, axüisaw he la khyang khawjah a veia cit hngaki he.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Mlüh mkawt pei a pha law üng, hmeinu naw mat däng a canak, khyang kthi ami yawknak kawt law u se, mlüh üngka he khawjah law hngaki he.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.

13Acunüng, Bawipa naw acuna hmeinu a hmuh üng, m'yenei leng leng lü, “Ä kyapa” a ti.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Jesuh naw law lü, yawkkawng hnet se, kawtki he ngdüiki he. Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Cawngpyang, tho law, ti veng,” ti se,Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15akthi cun tho law lü ngthuhei law se, Jesuh naw a nu üng a pet.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Acunüng, ami van kyü lawki he naw, Pamhnam mküimto u lü, “Mi ksunga sahma akyäp awm law ve; Pamhnam a khyang he jah küikyan khaia law ve,” ami ti.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!”

17Acuna Jesuha mawng cun khaw avan la a pipeia hne avan üng ngthang hüki.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Johana axüisaw he naw acuna mawng avan cun Johan üng ami mtheh.Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Acunüng, Johan naw axüisaw nghngih jah khüki naw, Bawipa veia jah tüi lü, “Johan naw law khai a tia khyanga na kyaki aw? Akce kami na äpei khai aw?” tia a jah va kthähsak.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?”

20Acunüng, Jesuh veia law u lü, “Law khai mata na kyaki aw? Akce kami na äpei khai aw? tia ni kthäh vaia baptican Johan naw na veia a jah tüih law ni,” ami ti.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?’”

21Acunapät üng Jesuh naw, a jah huieie, natnak khihlau akce kcea jah awmnak he, ngmüimkhya ksea awmnak he khawjah jah mdaw be lü, amikmü khawjah a jah mdeisak be.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Jesuh naw, “Citbe u lü, nami hmuh la nami sim he Johan üng jah va mtheh ua; amikmüe mdei law be ve u, akhawkxo he ami khaw am cit ve u, mnehkse mnehkie ngcim be ve u, ami nghnga kpangki he pi ami nghnga ngjang be ve u, akthi he xüng law be ve u, khuikha m’yetsekiea veia thangkdaw sanga kya ve.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.

23“Upi, keia phäha, a mlung am hlawtlatki ta a jo sen ve,” a ti.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Johana xüisaw he ami ktawih be käna, Jesuh naw Johana mawng khyang he üng jah mtheh lü, “Johana veia, khawkhyawng khawa nami ceh üng, i teng khaia ni nami ceh? Khawkhia aksün khuhlip teng khaia aw nami ceh?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?

25“Am acunüng i teng khaia ni nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisaki teng khaia aw nami ceh? Suisak akdaw suisaki he cun sangpuxang hea ima ni ami awm khawi.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.

26“Am acunüng sahma teng khaia aw nami ceh? Ä, ka ning jah mtheki, sahmaa kthaka pi kyäp bawki hia awm ve,What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27cangcim naw ‘Ngaia ka khyang na ma ka tüih, ani naw na maa lam pyang khai’ tia a mawng ami yuk cen ahina Johan ni.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.’

28“Ka ning jah mthehki, nghnumi hea ca avan üng Johana kyäp bawki sahma am awm naw; cunsepi, Pamhnama khawa akjaw säih pi Johana kthaka kyäp bawki ni,” a ti.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.”

29Acunüng, khyang avan naw ami ngjak; aktunga ngcawnklawk he cun Pamhnama ngsungpyunak vaia Johana baptican khanki he.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Cunsepi, Pharise he la, thum mksingki he naw, ami hama Pamhnama pyan ma u lü, Johana baptican ä khanki he.But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Jesuh naw pyen be tü lü, “Tuhkbäiha ngsawn he hin i am ni ka jah msuimcäp kawm? Ia mäih ni ami law?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32“Ahin he cun Anghmawe jawihtuknaka ngawki he, ngkhü kyu u lü, ‘Cambumak pülün ning jah tum pe ung se am nami nglamki, yawk la sa ung se pi am nami kyapki’ ti am tängki he.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.’

33“Baptican Johan a law üng ei nghmü lü capyitui am aw se, ‘khawyaia awmnak’ nami tiki.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34“Khyanga Capa law lü ei aw se, ‘Teng u, eiaw aih ve, ngcawnklawk he la khyang kse hea püi cen’ nami tiki.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35“Mhnama ksingkhyapnak cun dokhameiki he naw a cangnak mdangki he ni,” a ti.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Pharise mat naw a veia buh ei khaia khü se, Jesuh Pharisea ima lut lü buh ei khaia ngawki.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Acuna mlüh üng nghnumi kse mat awmki naw Pharisea ima Jesuh buh ei lü awmki ti, a ksing üng, alabasta um üng situi ngui lawpüiki naw,When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Jesuha hnu, a khaw kunga kyap lü ngdüiki. A miktui naw a khawpha msüi se, a lusam am xüt lü, a khawpha mhnamki naw, situi ng'ui am 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.

39Pharise naw hmu lü, a mlung k'uma, “Hin hin sahma kcanga a kya vai sü, hnetkia nghnuminu hin u ni, ia mäih ni ti ksing khai sü. Khyangka kyalang se,” a ti.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!”

40Jesuh naw, “Sihmon, na veia ngthu mat ka pyen vai awm ve,” ti lü a msang. Acunüng Sihmon naw, “Saja aw pyena,” a ti.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Jesuh naw, “Ngui jah kpuki, mat naw, khyang nghngih üng ngui a jah kpu; mat üng phya mhma a kpu, mat am mhmakip a kpu.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42“Ani thungnak be vai am ta ni se, ani nghngih a jah mhlät. Acunüng, acun xawi üng u naw jawng na bawk khai ni?” a ti.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Sihmon naw, “A mhlät däm naw jawng na bawk khaia ngai veng,” ti lü, msang se, Jesuh naw, “Cang veki,” a ti.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Acunüng, nghnumi nghlat si lü, Sihmona veia, “Hina nghnuminu na hmuki aw? Na ima lut law ni se, ka khaw ka mthinak vaia tui am na na peki, hina nghnuminu naw a miktui am ka khaw mthi lü, a lusam am xütki.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.

45“Nang naw am na na mhnamki, hina nghnumi naw ka luh law üng tün lü ka khawpha am pyai lü mhnamki.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46“Nang naw ka lü situi am na hluki, hina nghnumi naw ka khawpha situi am hluki.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47“Acunakyase, ning mtheh veng, aktäa jawng nakia kyase, a katnak he khawjah cun mhlät pänga kya ve. A katnak ajaw däng mhlät naw ajawha jawng naki,” a ti.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Acunüng, Jesuh naw nghnumi üng, “Na katnak he jah mhlät pänga kya ve,” a ti.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Buh a eipüi he naw, “Katnak pi jah mhlätki hin u ni,” ami ti.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Acunüng, Jesuh naw nghnumi üng, “Na jumnak naw ning küikyan ve, dim’yenak am cita,” a ti.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
