Luke 8 (HLTTHB)

1Cekcoengawh Jesu taw khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi awh cet nawh, khawsa qam awithang leek ce kqawn hy. A hubat thlanghqa hlaihih tloek awm a venawh awm uhy,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,

2cekcoengawh amah ing qaihche ingkaw tlawhnatnaak awhkawng a qoei sak nu thlang vang tloek awm a venawh awm lawt uhy: ak kawk khui awhkawng qaaikhqi ak cawn Meri (Magdalene ak mingnaak);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 a ipkhui ak khoemkung Chuza a zu Joanna; Susanna ingkaw ak chang nukhqi khawzah awm uhy. Vawhkaw nukhqi ing a mimah a ik-oeih ing Jesu ingkaw a hubatkhqi ce do a dan uhy.Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4Cawh thlang khawzah cun law unawh, khaw hoei awhkaw thlang boeih awm a venna law usaw, nyttahnaak awi hawnak ing awi kqawn pek khqi hy.While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“Lo ak toenkung thlang pynoet taw camci ak theh na cet hy. Camci ce ak theh awh, camci a vang taw lam awh tla nawh; thlang ing leh nawh phakhqi ing cung hloep uhy.“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.

6A vang taw lung awh tla nawh, hang cawt law hlai hy, ak kqa am cak nawh qeu pahoei hy.Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7Camci a vang taw hling anglak na tla nawh, hling ing zawi khoep saw qeen zip hy.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8Camci a vang taw ang laih leek awh tla hy, cawt nawh vui thaih hy, a pyh zakhat dyna ak thaih thawt hy,” tinak khqi hy. Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh, “Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.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 hubatkhqi ing cawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ak kqawn ngaihnaak ce doet uhy.Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10A mingmih a venawh, “Khawsa ram simnaak awihyp ce nangmih a venawh taw peek na awm hawh hy, cehlai thlak chang a venawh taw nyhtahnaak awi ing kqawn pe nyng, “Hu hlai kawm uh, a mami hatnaak aham ingkaw za hlai kawm uh, a maming zaksimnaak aham,' tinak khqi hy.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.’

11Nyhtahnaak awi ing ak kqawn ngaihnaak taw vemyihna awm hy: Camci cetaw Khawsak awi ni.Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12Lam awh ak tla camci taw thlang ing awithang leek ce za hlai hy; qaai ing law nawh, ap cangna unawh, thaawngna ama mi awm naak ham amik kawlung khui awhkaw ce loh pek khqi hy.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.

13Lung awh ak tla camci cetaw awi ce ang zaak awh zeelnaak ing do pahoei hy, cehlai ak kqa am awm hy. Kawlhkalh awhkaw ham doeng cangna unawh, sykzoeknaak a law awhtaw nawng taak uhy.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.

14Hling lakawh ak tla camci cetaw awi ce za nawh do hy, cehlai ce ak awi ce khawmdek khawsaknaak awh lylapnaakkhqi, boeinaak ingkaw awmhlynaakkhqi ing a zawl khoep adawngawh am taai thai hy.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.

15Cehlai ang laih leek awh ak tla camci cetaw: kawlung dyngnaak ingkaw leeknaak ing awi za unawh, kym unawh, thaih qui qah uhy.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.

16U ingawm mai a vang awh dawn ing am myk unawh, ihkhun ak kaina am tahy; ipkhui awh ak awm thlangkhqi ing vangnaak ce a mi huh thainaak ham, maihvang a mim hawihnaak awh ni a mim hawih.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.

17Kawtih a mang dangnaak thai ham thuh ak phah khawi pynoet ca awm am awm kaw, amak dang hly kawi ang hyp na ak awm ik-oeih pynoet ca awm am awm kaw.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Cedawngawh ikawmyihna awi naming ngai tice ak nep cana poek uh. U awm ak ta cetaw sap pek khqoet kawm usaw; cehlai u awm amak ta cetaw, a taak chyn lawh pekna awm kaw,” tinak khqi hy.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.”

19Jesu a nu ingkaw a naakhqi ce a venna law uhy, cehlai thlang a kqeng aih awh a venna am cet thai uhy.Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20Cedawngawh, “Na nu ingkaw na koeinaakhqi ce a leng na dyi unawh, nang ni huh ham ngaih uhy,” tina uhy.He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21Cawh anih ing, “Ve Khawsak awi za nawh ak saikhqi taw ka nu ingkaw ka koeinaakhqi ni,” tinak khqi hy.But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22Hypoet awh Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh, “Tuiqal na cet usih,” tinak khqi hy. Cedawngawh lawng khuina lut unawh cet uhy.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.

23A mi ceh huili awh anih taw ip hy. Tuiawh ce khaw hli lawnawh lawng ce tui be khoep saw ly unawh awm uhy.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 venna cet unawh thawh uhy, a venawh, “Bawipa, Bawipa, kaimih tui awh cum hly hawh u nyng ve!” tina uhy. Cawh anih ce tho lawnawh khawhli ingkaw tuiphu ce zyi hy; cawh khawhli ce dym nawh a sitdik na awm tlaih hy.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.

25Cekcoengawh amingmih ce, “Hana namik cangnaak?” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing kqih ingkaw kawpoek kyi doena, “Ve ve u nu ve? Khawhli ingkaw tui ce awi pe saw ak awi aming ngai pek hy,” ti qu uhy.“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!”

26Galili caqai ben nakaw Gerasenes ben ce pha uhy.Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27Ce hun ami pha awh, ce a khawk khuiawh ak awm qaai ing am tu thlang pynoet ing pan law hy. Ce ak thlang taw khawqyt khuiawh angki hinaak a bai kaana im awh awm am awm nawh, phyi khqang awm poepa hy.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.

28Anih ing Jesu ce a huh awh, khy nawh a khawkung awh khukzym pehy, ak tha yy nawh, “Jesu, sawsang soeih Khawsa Capa, ikaw ni tina vang na ti? Koeh ni khuikha sak mai, qeennaak ni thoeh nyng,” tina hy.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!”

29Jesu ing qaihche a venawh thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn aham awi a na pe khawi hawh hy, a kut a khaw ce thiqui ing pin unawh thlang awm qeh sak hlai uhy, thiquikhqi phu kyk kyk nawh qaai ing anih ce kqawk chyp na sawi poepa hy.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.

30Jesu ing “U nu nang ming naak?” tina hy. Anih ing, “Legion,” ni, (ak kawk khuiawh qaai khawzah a awm a dawngawh) tina hy.“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31Lawk-kqawng ak dung soeih awh a mingmih ce amak thlaak naak aham a venawh qeennaak thoeh uhy.And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32Cawh tlang awh vawk sawng khawzah awm usaw, vawkkhqi ak kawk khuiawh mah lut sak khqi aham qeennaak thoeh uhy, ce a dawngawh anih ing lut sak khqi hy.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.

33Qaaikhqi taw thlang ak kawk khui awhkawng cawn unawh, vawk ak kawk khuina ce lut uhy; cawh vawkkhqi ce hqeeng nakawng tuili na cawn unawh thi boeih uhy.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.

34Cemyihna ik-oeih ak awm ce vawk ak cahkhqi ing a mi huh awh dawng unawh khawk bau ingkaw vangcakhqi na ce kqawn usaw,When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35cedawngawh cawhkaw ik-oeih ce ak toek aham thlangkhqi ce cet uhy. Jesu a ven a mi pha awh, ak kawk khuiawh kawng qaai ak cawn thlang, hi bai nawh sangthingna Jesu a khawkung awh ak ngawi ce hu unawh kqih uhy.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.

36Ak hukhqi boeih ing qaai ing am tu thlang ikawmyihna a qoeinaak tice thlangkhqi venawh kqawn pe uhy.Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37Cedawngawh Gerasenes qam khuiawh ak awm thlangkhqi boeih ing a mik kqih soeih a dawngawh cekkhqi ce cehtaak aham qeennaak thoeh uhy. Cedawngawh lawng khuina ce lut tlaih unawh cet hy.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.

38Ak kawk khuiawh kawng qaai ak cawn thlang ing a hu awh bat lawt aham qeennaak thoeh hy, cehlai Jesu ing voei sak tlaih hy.The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39Na im na voei nawhtaw Khawsa ing ikawmyihna nak khan awh ik-oeih a sai tice vak kqawn” tina hy. Cedawngawh ce ak thlang ing cet nawh Jesu ing ikawmyihna ik-oeih a sai peek tice khawk khuina kqawn hy.“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.

40Jesu ce ang voei tlaih awh, thlang boeih ing anih ce a ming ngaih-u a dawngawh thlangkhqi ing ym uhy.When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41Cawh Jairu ak mingnaak, Sinakawk ukkung thlang pynoet ce law nawh Jesu a khawkung awh khuksym nawh a im na ceh aham qeennaak thoeh hy.Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42Canu a taak dyn, kum hqa hlaihih ak law ce tlo nawh thi hlo hlo hy. Lam a ceh huiawh, thlang kqeng ing anih ce nen uhy.because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43Cawh kum hqa hlaihih a thi na ak kqam nu pynoet ce awm hy, a u ingawm anih ce am qoei sak thai hy.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.

44Anih ce a hu awh cet nawh a hidawng ca ce bi pehy, cawh a thi ce dym hy.She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45Jesu ing, “U nu kai anik bi?” tinak khqi hy. Thlang boeih ing, “Am sim nyng,” a mi tinaak awh Piter ing, “Bawipa, thlang a doem aih awh ni nen unawh ni,” tina hy.“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46Cehlai Jesu ing, “Thlang pynoet oet ing ni bi hy; saithainaak ka venawh kawng cawn hy ti sim nyng,” tinak khqi hy.But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47Cawhkaw nu ing thuh thai na am awm voel hy ti a sim awh, thyn doena a venna cet nawh a khawkung awh koep pehy. Thlang boeih a haiawh kawtih bi nawh ikawmyihna a qoei tlang tice kqawn pehy.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.

48Cekcoengawh cawhkaw nu a venawh, “Ka canu, nak cangnaak ing ni qoei sak hawh hy. Ngaihding caana cet hlah” tina hy.“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49Jesu ing cemyihna awi ak kqawn huiawh, Sinakawk ukkung Jairu a im nakawng thlang pynoet ce law hy. Anih ing, “Na canu ce thi hawh hy, cawngpyikung ce koeh lawn voel,” tina hy.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.”

50Jesu ing ce ak awi ang zaak awh Jairu a venawh, “Koeh ly; cang mah cangna lah, na canu ce qoei tlaih bit kaw,” tina hy.But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51Jairu a im ce a mi pha awh, Piter, Johan, Jakob ingkaw a nu a pa doeng ce ip khuina ceh pyi hy.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.

52Cawh thlangkhqi boeih taw ko ang kqang uhy. Jesu ing, “Koeh kqang voel uh, ak thi am ni, ak ip ni,” tinak khqi hy.Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53Cawh cekkhqi ing nuca taw thi hawh hy tice a mi sim a dawngawh qaih na uhy.And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54Nuca ce a kut awh am tu coengawh, “Ka ca tho hlah,” tina hy.But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55Cawh ang Myihla ce voei tlaih nawh, tho pahoei hy. Jesu ing ai kawi pynoet oet peek aham kqawn pehy.Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56A nu ingkaw a pa taw a ning ngaih kyi soeih hy, cehlai cawhkaw ik-oeih ce u a venawh awm amak kqawn aham awi pehy.Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
