Luke 7 (HLTTHB)

1Thlangkhqi ang zaak na ve ak awi ve Jesu ing ak kqawn boeih coengawh. Kaperanuam khaw na cet hy.When Jesus had concluded His discourse in the hearing of the people, He went to Capernaum.

2Qalkap zakhat ak ukkung thlang pynoet a tyihzawih, a boeipa ing a lungnaak soeih ce, tlo nawh thi tawm hy.There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

3Cawhkaw qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing Jesu akawng ce ang zaak awh Juda a hqamca thlang vang ce tyi nawh, a tyihzawih ce qoei sak ham doet sak hy.When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Him to come and heal his servant.

4Jesu a ven a mi pha awh qeennaak thoeh uhy, “Ve ak thlang vetaw a ni ngoenaak ce na sai peek aham tyng hy,They came to Jesus and pleaded with Him earnestly, “This man is worthy to have You grant this,

5anih ing ka mi ram a lungnaak awh sinakawk pynoet ni sak pek khqi hy,” tina uhy.for he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”

6Cedawngawh Jesu a mi huawh ce nawh, im ami pha tawm ca awh qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing a pyikhqi ce tyi nawh, “Bawipa, kyi kaa, ka ipkhui awh na law aham am kawih nyng.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.

7Ceamyihna awmsaw na venna law ham awm am tyng nyng ti nyng, awi doeng mah kqawn nawh, ka tyihzawih qoei bit kaw.That is why I did not consider myself worthy to come to You. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8Kai awm ukknaak ak kai awh ak awm thlang pynoet na awm hlai nyng, kak kaiawh qalkap khawzah awm lawt hy. Thlang pynoet a venawh, 'Cet' ka tinaak awhtaw cet nawh; ak chang pynoet a venawh, 'Law', ka tinaak awhtaw law nawh, 'Ve sai,' ka tinaak awhtaw sai hy,” tina hy.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.”

9Jesu ing anih ak awi ce ang zaak awh ak kawpoek na kyi nawh, a hu awh ak bat thlangkhqi benna hawi nawh, “Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, Israelkhqi chung lakawh vemyihna cangnaak ak bau am hu nyng,” tinak khqi hy.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.”

10Thlang a tyihkhqi ce im na hlat uhy, cawh tyihzoeih thlang ce sadip caana ana awm tlaih hy.And when the messengers returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.

11Cekcoengawh Jesu taw Nain a mi ti khaw na cet hy, a hubatkhqi mi thlang khawzah a hu awh bat uhy.Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples went with Him, accompanied by a large crowd.

12Khaw awhkaw vawng chawmkeng a mi pha tawm awh, nuhai ca ing a taak chyn a capa ce thih pe nawh a qawk ce kawt law uhy. Thlang khawzah nuhai a venawh awm uhy.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 ing cawhkaw nuhai ce a huh awh, qeen soeih nawh a venawh, “Koeh kqang,” tina hy.When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.”

14Cekcoengawh cet nawh qeep ce bi nawh, cawh qeep ak kawtkhqi awm dyi uhy. “Cadawng, ka nik kqawn peek, tho lah,” tina hy.Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up!”

15Cawh ak thi ce tho nawh awi pau hy. Jesu ing a nu venawh pe tlaih hy.And the dead man sat up and began to speak! Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16Cawhkaw amik awmkhqi boeih ing kqih unawh Khawsa ce kyihcah unawh, “Ni venna tawngha ak boeimang soeih dang law hawh pai hy,” ti unawh, “Khawsa ing ak thlangkhqi hqip lawk khqi hy,” ti bai uhy.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!”

17Jesu akawng taw Judah qam ingkaw a kengsam qam boeih awh thang khawnghak hy.And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding region.

18Johan a hubatkhqi ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ve a venawh kqawn pe uhy. A hubat thlang pakhih ce khy nawh,Then John’s disciples informed him about all these things.

19Bawipa ce doet aham tyi hy, “Nang ve ak law hly kawi ce hawh nu, am awhtaw thlak chang kamik qeh hly hyn nu? tinawh doet sak hy.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?”

20Cawhkaw thlangkhqi ce Jesu a venna cet unawh, “Baptisma ak pekung Johan ing nang a venawh awi doet aham kaimih ve ni tyi khqi hy, 'Nang ve ak law hly kawi ce hawh nu, am awhtaw thlak chang kamik qeh hly hyn nu? tinawh ni doet sak khqi hy,” tina uhy.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?’”

21Cawh Jesu ing tlawhnat soepkep ak takhqi, thlak tlokhqi ce qoei sak nawh, qaaichekhqi ce hqek hy, mikhypkhqi ce mik dang sak hy.At that very hour Jesus healed many people of their diseases, afflictions, and evil spirits, and He gave sight to many who were blind.

22Cedawngawh ami venawh, “Johan a venna hlat tlaih unawh nami huhkhqi ingkaw naming zaakkhqi ce kqawn pe uh: Mikhyp ing khaw hu thai hawh nawh, khawkkhem ing cet thai hawh hy, mynqaikhqi ing ciimcaih hawh unawh, hakpangkhqi ing a mingha khui hawh hy, thlak thikhqi ing tho unawh, hahqahkhqi ing awithang leek za hawh uhy.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.

23U awm kai ak camawh amak tlu taw a zoseen hy,” tinak khqi hy.Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”

24Johan ak thlang tyihkhqi a ming hlat coengawh, thlang kqeng a venawh Jesu ing Johan akawng kqawn pek khqi hy: “Ikaw huh aham nami ngaih awh nu kqawng na nami ceh? Paipoeng zilh ing a zawn toek nami ngaih awh nu?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?

25Am awhtaw, ikaw huh nami ngaih awh nami ceh? Angki hinaak ak nep nep ing ak thoeihcam qukhqi toek nami ngaih awh nu? Amni, angki hinaak a phu ak tlo tlo ing thoeihcam qu nawh awk-ai ak tui tui ak aikhqi taw boeikhqi im awh ni a mi awm hy.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.

26Cawhtaw ikaw huh ngaih awh nami ceh ce? Tawngha huh nami ngaih awh nu, Oeih, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, tawngha anglakawh tawngha khqoet ceni.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27Anih akawng vemyihna a na qee hawh uhy: “'Na haiawh ka dyihthing tyi law kawng nyngsaw, anih ing na haai awhkaw lam ce qoek abah law kaw,' a ti ce.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.’

28Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nu ing a taak ak khui awhtaw Johan anglakawh ak bau khqoet awm hlan hy; cehlai Khawsa ram khuiawh ak zawi soeih na ak awm ce anih anglakawh bau khqoet hy,” tinak khqi hy.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.”

29(Thlang boeih ingkaw mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ing za Jesu ak awi ce a ming zaak awh, a mingmih ce Johan ing baptisma a na peek khqi hawh a dawngawh, Khawsa lam taw dyng hy tice dyih pyi uhy.All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

30Cehlai Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi ak simkhqi ingtaw a mimah ak poek awh Khawsa ang cainaak ce oelh uhy, Johan a baptisma awm am hu uhy.)But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

31Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw ve a chan awhkaw thlangkhqi ve ikaw ing nu ka nyhtah lah voei? Ikaw ing nu vekkhqi ve a ming lawh qu?“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32Vekkhqi ve ik-oeih a mi zawihnaak hun awh amik ngawi naasenkhqi ing a mi pyikhqi a mik khy ing myih uhy: 'Khqung tum law hlai unyng, am lam uhyk ti; kqahlung ka mi sauh law awh awm, am kqang phoeih bai uhyk ti,” a ti ing myih hy.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.’

33Johan law nawh buh awm am ai hy, misur tui awm am aw hy, 'Qaai tahy,' tina uhyk ti.For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34Thlang Capa law nawh aw ai hy, 'Ai maw, aawk maw, misur tui ak sawk, mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw thlak thawlhkhqi pyi,' tina uhyk ti.The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Cehlai cyihnaak taw a cakhqi boeih ak caming dang sak na awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36Farasi thlang pynoet ing Jesu ce buh veel pyi aham khy hy, cedawngawh cawhkaw Farasi a im na cet nawh my buh veel pyi hy.Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37Ce a khawk khui awhkaw ak awm thlak thawlh nu pynoet ing Farasi a im awh Jesu ing buh pan hy tice ang zaak awh, alabaster bawktui pynoet ce haw law nawh law hy.When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

38Jesu a hu benna a khawkung awh ce dyi nawh kqang hy, a mikphli tui ing a khaw sui nawh, a lusam ing huih hy, a khaw ce mawk nawh, bawktui ing syp bai hy.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.

39Buh ai na ak khykung Farasi thlang ing a huh awh, “Ve ak thlang ve tawngha mantaw, anih ak bikung ce a u nu, tice sim hlai voei, anih ve thlak thawlh hlai ni,” tinawh ak kawlung khuiawh poek hy.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!”

40Jesu ing a venawh, “Simon, awi kqawn law lah vang nyng,” tina hy. Anih ing, “Kqawn law lah thaw, cawngpyikung,” tina hy.But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

41Cawh Jesu ing, “Thlang pakkhih ing tangka ak pu sakkung a venawh tangka pu haih hy nih. Pynoet ing tangka denari zanga pu nawh, pynoet ingtaw tangka denari hakip pu hy.“Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42A ni pakkhih na tangka pu ce am thung thai hy nih, cedawngawh tangka ak pu sakkung ing zoe sak kqawi haih hy. Cawhtaw han ak thlang ing nu anih ce a lungnaak khqoet kaw?” tina hy.When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”

43Simon ing, “Tangka khawzah bet ak pu peek thlang ing lungna khqoet kaw, tinawh poek nyng,” tina hy. Jesu ing, “Ak thym ni nak kqawn phek hy,” tina hy.“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

44Cekcoengawh nu benna ce mang nawh Simon a venawh, “Vawhkaw thlang ve nak hu nu? Na im na ka law awh, ka khaw silh tui amni pe hyk ti. Cehlai anih ingtaw a mikphli tui ing ka khaw sui nawh a lusam ing huih hy.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 ingtaw amni mawk man hyk ti, cehlai ve nu ingtaw ka lut law cyk awhkawng ka khaw ve ang dym kaana mawk hy.You did not greet Me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing My feet since I arrived.

46Nang ingtaw ka lu awh situi am ni syyp man hyk ti, cehlai anih ingtaw ka khaw awh bawktui ing ni syyp hy.You did not anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with perfume.

47Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek, a thawlhnaak khawzah ce qeenna awm hawh hy; anih ingawm a lungnaak bau soeih hy; cehlai qeennaak ak zawi ing, a lungnaak zawi khawi hy,” tina hy.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Cekcoengawh Jesu ing nu a venawh, “Na thawlhnaak qeenna awm hawh hy,” tina hy.Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49Cawh buh ak vel pyikhqi ing, “Thlang a thawlh qeenkhaw ak ngai ve u nu?” ti uhy.But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Jesu ing nu a venawh, “Nak cangnaak ing ni thaawng hawh hy, ngaihqep cana cet hlah,” tina hy.And Jesus told the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
