Luke 8 (DAO) · Opened

1Akäna Jesuh naw, mlüh he, ngnam he üng cit hü lü Pamhnama khawa mawng thangkdaw sang hü se, xaleinghngih he pi a veia citki he.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,

2Acunüng, nghnumi he khawyaia awmnak daw beki he la, natnak üngka naw yai beki he pi awmki he. Acuna nghnumi he cun, a k'um üngka naw khawyai khyüh lut lawkia Makdalin ami ti Marih naki,as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3Heroda khawhthem mceiki Joanah, Cuza a khyu, Susanah la, amimäta ka am Jesuh tumbeiki hea nghnumi kce hea kyaki he.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Mlüh mat ngpäng se mat üngka khyang he law hü u lü, ngbum law u se, Jesuh naw, msuimcäpnak am ngthu jah mtheh lü,While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Mciksaw, mci saw khaia loa citki, acunüng a saw k'um üng avang lam üng kya se khyang he naw ami leh, kha he naw ami ei.“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.

6“Mci avang lunga danaka khana kyaki a pyo law la mdek ä ngsüikia kyase ng’yawngei bäihki.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7“Mci avang nghlinghmua kyaki, nghling naw pyo lawpüi lü a mthihin.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8“Cunsepi, avang ngleihkdaw üng kyaki, pyo law lü, aphya a, vuipai lawki,” a ti. Acunüng, acun a pyen law päng üng, Jesuh naw, “Nami ngjaknak vaia nami nghnga a ve üng ngja ua,” a ti.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.”

9Axüisaw he naw, “Hina msuimcäpnaka suilam hin i ni?” tia kthäh u se,Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10Jesuh naw, “Nangmi cun Pamhnama khankhawa mawng ksingnak ning jah peta kyaki, cunsepi avanga veia msuimcäpnak am pyena kyaki, ‘Teng u se pi am hmu kcangki he, ngja u se pi am ksingki he.’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.’

11“Msuimcäpnak cun hinkba kyaki; Mci cun Mhnama ngthua kyaki.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12“Lam kpema kyaki he cun ngthu ngjaki he, am jumei u lü küikyana am ami kyanak vaia, khawyai naw law lü ami mlungmthin üngka ngthu cun a lawhei.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.

13“Lunga khana kyaki he cun, ngthu ngja u lü jekyainak am dokhameiki hea kyaki, cunsepi ami pya am awmse, asäng jumki he te hlawhlepnak a pha law üng kyukngtängeiki he.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.

14“Nghling hmua kyaki he cun, ngthu ngjaki he; cunsepi khawmdek cäicahnak, bawimangnak, hlimtuinak he naw jah bawngkha sak se am vüipai law thei u.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.

15“Cunsepi, ngleih kdawa khana kyaki he cun, ngthu cun ngja u lü, ami mlung khyawnga ta u lü, mtheh ngjaknaka mlungmthin am ami ngtheipai vei cäpa biloki he.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.

16“U naw meiim mdäi lü kphya am am mük khawi u, ihnaka keha pi am thup khawi u, lutki avan naw akvai ami hmuh vaia, taknak ngkawi üng ta khawiki he.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.

17“Ipi ä ngphyeh khaia mjih ngphyeh law lü, ipi ä ngdang khaia thup ngdang law lü akvainaka law püia kya law khai.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18“Acunakyase, ikba nami ngjak cäiei na ua; upi taki üng petsih u lü, upi am taki cun a takca a ngaih pi yuh pet vai,” 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.”

19Jesuh a nu la, a bena he a veia lawki he, khyang dämkia kyase a peia am pha u se,Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20“Na nu la na bena he ning hmu khaia bü u lü, kpunga ngdüi ve u,” tia ami mtheh.He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Jesuh naw, “Hina Pamhnama ngthu ngai u lü, kcang naki he hin, ka nu la ka bena he ni,” ti lü a jah msang.But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Khaw mhmüp mat cun axüisaw he am mlawng üng ami awm üng Jesuh naw, “Lia, cayea, mi va pek vai u,” a ti. Acunüng citki he.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.

23Ami ceh k'um üng Jesuh ipeiki; acunüng tuili üng khaw khi law sawxat lü, ami mlawng tui am be law se kyü u lü, khuikhaki he.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.

24Axüisaw he a veia citki he naw mtho u lü, “Saja aw, Saja aw, khyük law hlü ve üng” ami ti. Acunüng Jesuh naw tho law lü, khawkhi la tuiyüi jah jüi se, pyai lü ngdüm lawki.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.

25Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Nami jumnak hawia ni?” a ti. Acunsepi kyü u lü, cäicah lawki he naw, “Hin hin u ni? Khawkhi la tuiyüi naw pi ngthu jah pe se, ani ngaih?” tia ng’yüngkoki he.“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!”

26Jesuh la axüisaw he Kalile üngka naw tuili üng ngtäi u lü Kerasa khawa citki he.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Jesuh ava kco la, khawyai naw khawvei a awmnak, suisak am suisaki, ima am awm lü ng’uhnün he cia awmkia khyang mat naw ana khyum.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.

28Acunüng, Jesuh a hmuh la, a maa kyu lü, angsanga, “Jesuh, ak'hlüng säih Mhnama Capa, ikba na na pawh hlüki ni? Ä na mkhuimkhaa, ning huina veng,” ti lü ngpyangki.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!”

29Isetiakyaküng, Jesuh naw khawyai acuna khyang üngka naw cit khaia ngthu ana pet khawia phäha kyaki. Acuna khyang cun khawyai naw a man khawia kyaki; mthiyüi am a kutkhaw he jah pin u lü thawngim üng ami khyum üngpi ami pinpawknak he jah tipat lü mawkpyawnga dawng khaia khawyai naw a pawh khawia kyaki.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.

30Jesuh naw, “Na ngming u ni?” ti lü kthäh se, khawyai naw, “Ka ngming cun apä ni,” a ti, (isetiakyaküng, a k'uma khawyai khawjah a luha phäha kyaki).“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Acunüng, khui kthuknua am a jah tüih vaia ami nghuinak.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Acunüng, mkyanga vawk khawjah ami jah mcaha k'uma ami luhnak vaia Jesuh nghuina u se, Jesuh naw a jah pet.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.

33Khawyai he khyanga khui üngka naw lut law u lü, vawka k'uma lut u se, vawk he kdanga dawng u lü, tui üng ngcumki he.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.

34Vawksäm he naw ami hmu üng, dawng u lü, ngnamthe la loa ami va sang.When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35Acunüng, ia akya, teng khai hea nghlawm u lü citki he, acuia Jesuha veia ami pha law üng, khawyai hea cehtak cun Jesuha khaw kunga suisa lü ngaikyunak akdaw am ngaw se ami hmu üng, aktäa kyüki he.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.

36Acun hmuki he naw anghnua lawki he üng acuan khyang ihawkba a yai be ami jah mtheh.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Acunüng acuna khaw pipei üngka he ami van kyü law u lü, ami khaw üngka naw angxita a ktawih be vaia ami nghuinak. Acunüng, Jesuh mlawng üng lut lü cit beki.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.

38Khawyaia, a cehtaka khyang naw, Jesuh veia a ceh ngha vaia nghuina se, Jesuh naw,The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“Na ima nghlat be lü, Pamhnam naw aktäa, i na hama a ning pawh pet jah va mtheha,” ti lü, a tüih be. Acunüng mlüh üng cit lü, Jesuh naw a hama a pawh peta a hlüngtaia mawng cun sang hüki.“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.

40Jesuha tuili acayea a nghlat law be üng, khyang he naw ana ngängki he naw, aktäa ami na jekyainak.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Acunüng, Sinakoka ngvai mat Jairuh naki lawki, Jesuha khaw kunga kawp lü, a ima cit khaia a nghuinak law.Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Mat däng a canak nghnumica, kum xaleinghngih lawki, thi law hlü ngsaikia a kuna phäha kyaki. Acunüng Jesuh a ceh k'um üng khyang he naw ami kcung.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Acunüng, nghnumi mat, kum xaleinghngih a thi putki, a ngui tak avan seibawi hea veia a ngsawieinak bäih, acunüng u naw pi am ami mdaw be thei,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.

44Jesuha hnua law lü, a suisak mdawngca hnet law se, acun la angxita a thi put ye beki.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jesuh naw, “U ni na hnetki?” a ti. Acunüng, “Kei ta am ni nawng,” ti u se, Pita naw, “Saja aw, khyang he naw ning kcung na u lü ning hnet ye u se” a ti.“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Cunsepi, Jesuh naw, “U yaw naw ta na hnetki ni, johit ka khui üngka naw lut law se sim veng” a ti.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Nghnumi naw, ä ngthup theiki ti ksing lü, a ngkhet maha law lü, Jesuha maa kawp lü, a hneta suilam la, a daw be ngxita mawng cun, khyang avana hmuha, a phyeh.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.

48Jesuh naw, “Ka canu aw, na jumnak naw ning dawsak be ve, dim'yenak am cita,” a ti.“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Acukba ana ngthuhei k'um üng, Sinakok ngvaia im üngka naw khyang mat law lü, “Saja ä kbawng kbaia, na canu thi päng ve,” a ti.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.”

50Acun Jesuh naw a ngjak üng msang lü, “Ä cäia, a jum dänga mah juma, na canu daw be khai ni,” a ti.But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Acunüng, Jesuh ima law lü, Pita, Jakuk, Johan la, hnasena nu la pa dänga thea, upi im k'uma am a jah luhsak.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.

52Ami van aktäa ana mbawikyap u se Jesuh naw jah hmu lü, “Ä kyap ua, hnasen am thiki ni, ipki ni,” a ti.Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Acuna thi pängkia ksingki he naw ami yaihei.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Cunsepi Jesuh naw nghnumica cun a kut üng manki naw, “Ka ca aw, tho law,” ti lü, a khü.But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Acunüng, a xünak naw kpan law be se, angxita tho law beki. Acunüng, Jesuh naw ei vai iyaw ami pet vaia a jah mtheh.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
