Luke 14 (TCZCHONG)

1Cholngahni khat Jesu nilhah an nedin Pharisee ho lamkai khat in'ah achen, chule miho chun phatah in avelhiuvin ahi.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Hiche a chun mikhat, aban le akengho pom khat aumin ahi.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Jesun Pharisee ho leh danthu themho chu adongin, “Cholngah nikhoa misuhdam danthun aphal hai aphallou ham?” ati.So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4ama hon adonbut nom lou phat un, Jesun anapa chu atham'in chule asudam'in asolmang tai.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Chuin amaho lam ngan aseitai, “Nangho cholngah nia natonglou koi naum uvam? Nachapa ham ahilou le na bongchal hamkhat kokhuh a alhahlut le, aladoh dinga nakino ji hih um?” ati.And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6Avel'in adonbut thei kit tapouve.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Nilhah anne a hung jouse chun touna nom nom jabolna mun achu cheh u Jesun amu phat in, aman amaho chu hiche thumop hi apen ahi.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Moupui golvah na a kouna namu tengu leh, jabolna munhoa tou hih un. Ijem tin nang sanga jabolna chang ding khat ana kikou kha taleh ipi tin tem?“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

9Kinneipa chun ahung sei ding, “Na touna chu hiche mipa hi pen” ati ding ahi. Chuteng nangma najahcha ding ahi, chutengleh dokhang noiya kikoi touna hoa chu natou ding ahitai!Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.

10“Chusang chun, dokhang kengbul mun nemnung pen'a chun touvin. Chuteng kinneipan nahin mu ding nahenga hunga, ‘Jol, nang dingin mun phajep kaneiyuve!’ ahungti ding ahi. Chuteng nangma chu jin kikou dang ho masanga jana nachan ding ahi.But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

11Ijeh inem itile ama kichoisang chan chu suhnem'a um diu ahi, chule akineosah chan chu dopsang'a um diu ahi” ati.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Chuin in-neipa chu aven, hitin aseiye “Nangman nehkhom ahilouleh golvah nabol teng,” naloi nagol ho, nasopiho, na inkote, chule naheng nakom mihao ho kou hih in. Ajeh chu ama hon nangma nahin koukit diu ahin, hiche bou chu natohga hi ding ahitai.Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13Chusang chun mivaichaho, chatmo ho, elbai ho, chule mitcho ho kou jon.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Chuteng michonpha thokitna a Pathen'in nanungsah joulou ding ho nakou jeh a nangma tohphatman napeh ding ahi,” ati.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Hiche thu ajah hin mikhat dokhanga Jesu toh toukhom khat in, “Pathen Lenggam'a golvah ankonga galhah ding iti anop tadem!” tin ahin phongdoh e.When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16Jesun adonbut nan hiche thusim hi aseipeh e: Mikhat hin golvah lentah abol in kouna lekha jong tamtah athot doh tai.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Golvah anneh khom chu gontup ahiphat in, asohte asol'in, akikou ho jah a, “Hungun golvah ankong gontup ahitai” agatisah e.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Ahivangin ama hon abon'un ahitheilou nau thu aseiyun ahi. Khat in, 'Tutah chun loumun kachon kavettoh lou akhoh'e, lungsettah in nei ngaidam in' ati.But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’

19Khat kit chun, 'Keiman tutah chun bongchal to-nga kahin chon, hithei nam ti kavet got ahi, lungset in nei ngaidam un,' ati.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Achom khat in, 'Tun ji kaneijin, hijeh chun hung thei ponge,'” ati.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Sohpa chu akilen apakai pa kom'ah ipi iti adonbut u aseipeh tai. Apakai pa chu alunghang in hitin ahinsei tai, ‘Kintah in chenlang, khopi sung lamlen tin'ah mivaicha ho, chatmo ho, mitcho ho, chule elbai ho gakou tan’ ati.The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

22Asohpan hichu aboljou phat in, ahung hetsah in, ‘Mun a-ong nalaiye’ ahung ti.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Hijeh chun apakai pan aseijin, ‘Chedoh inlang lamlen pam lah dung chule aning kahlah a um koi hijongleh, namu mu hin kouvin, ka-in mi adimna dingin’ ati.So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24Ajeh chu kakou masat ho chun golvah an chu aneokhat jong atekhah lou diu ahitai,'” ati.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Mihonpi tamtah chun Jesu nung ajuiyu ahin, ama akihei kol'in ajah uva aseitai,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Nangho kaseijui nahi nom uleh, mijouse nahot u ngai ahi, tekah nan–nanu napa, naji nachate, nasopi ho, nangma hinkho tah jong, achuti louleh kaseijui nahi theilou diu ahi.“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

27Chule na thingpel nakipoh a kanung najui louleh, kaseijui nahi theilou diu ahi.”And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Ahivangin kipan hih un athoh hah ding dan nasimtoh masang'un. Ijeh inem itile, kon insah apat ding ham amasa a alut ding jat vetoh a, ajona dinga sum ninglhing ding hinam ti simtoh masa louva?Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

29Achuti loule akhombul bou najoa sum nabei maithei ahi, chuteng chuleh mijousen na nuisat bep ding ahitai.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30ama hon seiyunte, 'Hiche pa khu ahi, insah kipan'a aban ajona ding boldoh joulou pa khu'” tiuvinte.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Ahilouleh, Leng khat galbol ding, koi athumop them hotoh toukhom'a, asepai sang som chun ama nokhum dinga hung kon sang som ni chu ajo ding hinam ti kigel masalou dingah?Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32Chuleh ajolou ding leh, palai sol'in tin, agalmi ho gamlat pet a chu kihoucham ding agot tei ding ahi.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Hijeh a chu nanei jouse napehdoh tokah a kaseijui nahi theilou diu ahi.”In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Chi hi asu-al dingin aphai. Ahin, a-al na chu mansah taleh, iti na-alsah kit ding ham?”Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35A-al lou chi chu leiset a dinga jong chule leithao a dinga jong phachom lou ahi. Paidoh in aumji tai. Koi hileh nakol neichan in ngai hen chule hetthem hen!”It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
