Luke 18 (TCZCHONG)

1Nikhat Jesun aseijui te atao jingna diu leh alhahdai louna diu vetsahnan thusim khat aseipeh e.Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:

2“Khopi khat a hin thutan khat Pathen ginglou chule miho khohsahna jong neilou khat aumin ahi.“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.

3Chuche khopia meithai khat chu kinong chel'in ahung jingin, ‘Ka galmiho toh kakiboi nau hi thu adih in nei tanpeh in,’ ahung tijin ahi.And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

4Thutan pan phat chomkhat amanu chu isahlou tah in ana koiyin, ahin achainakeiyin hitin akihoulim in, 'Keiman Pathen kaging pon ahilou le miho jong holeh tilou kahi,For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,

5ahivangin hiche numei nu hin eisungol lhatai. Keiman thu adih a tanlhah peh ahina din vetpeh inge. Ajeh chu amanu hin athilthum jinga kon hin ei sulungvai lhatai,'” ati.yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Otherwise, she will wear me out with her perpetual requests.’”

6Chuin Pakaijin aseijin, “Hiche chondihlou thutanpa a kon'in kihil un.”And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.

7“Ama jengin jong achaina a thu adih a tan dia ahin gellhah ahi. Hijeh a chu Pathen'in alhenchom te, ama kom'a asun ajan'a kapjing te chu thu adih a atanpeh ding ahi ti nagel lou u ham? Amaho chu donlouvin koijingin te natim?Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?

8Ka seipeh nahiuve, aman kinloitah a thu adih a atanpeh ding ahi! Ahinlah Mihem Chapa hung kit teng, leiset chunga hin mi ijat tahsan nei mudoh intem?” ati.I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

9Chuin Jesun hiche thusim hi mi konkhat ama chonphatna a kisonga midang musit ho dingin aseiye:To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:

10“Mi ni Hou-In ah taona mangin ache lhon'e. Khat chu Pharisee mi ahin, chule adang khatpa chu musit umtah kaidong ahi.“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

11Pharisee mipa chu adingin hitin ataove: ‘Kakipah'e Pathen, adang ho banga chonse kahilou jeh in. Ajeh chu lepthol in kabol pon, kachonse pon, chule jonthanhoi jong kabolpoi. Keima atahbeh in khuche kaidongpa tobang kahipoi!The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

12Keiman hapta khat in nivei an kangol'in, kasum mu jat a kon'in som’a khat kapei,’” ati.I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’

13“Ahivangin kaidong pa chu gamla tah a adingin chule amit jeng'a jong vanlam ve ngam louvin ataove. Chusang chun lungkham tah in aman a-op achum'in hitin aseiye, ‘O Pathen, neilungset in, ijeh inem itile chonse kahi bouve,' ati.But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’

14Ka seipeh nahiuve, Pharisee pa hilou, hiche chonsepa chu Pathen ang-ah them achangin inlam akiletai. Ijeh inem itile ama kichoisang ho chu suhnem'a um ding, chule akineosah ho chu dopsang'a um diu ahi,” ati.I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15Nikhat nu le pa phabep in achateu chapang neo cha-cha ho chu Jesun atham'a phatthei aboh dingin ahin puiyun ahi. Ahivangin aseijui ten hichu amu phat un, anul e apa teu kom'a chun ama nasuboi bep uve tin ahouse uvin ahi.Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.

16Chuin Jesun chapang ho chu akouvin chule aseijui te hengah aseitai, “Chapang ho chu kaheng'ah hung uhen. Jahda hih un! Ajeh chu Pathen Lenggam chu hiche chapang neocha tobanghoa ding bou ahi.But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

17Thutah ka seipeh nahiuve, koi hileh chapang neocha banga Pathen Lenggam sanglou chu lutlouhel ding ahi,” ati.Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

18Khatvei hou lamkai khat hin hiche thudoh hi adonge: “Houhil pha, tonsot hinna kanei theina dinga ipi kabol ding ham?” ati.Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

19“Ipi bol'a apha tia nei kou ham?” tin aledoh in, “Pathen bouseh dihtah a pha ahi.“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

20Ahin na thudoh donbut nan, thupeh ho nahet chula: “Nangman jon bol hih in, tolthat hih in, gucha hih in, jouvin mi hehse hih in, nanu napa jabol in,” ati.You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”

21Mipan adonbut in, “Hiche thupeh ho jouse hi kachapan laiya pat kajui sohkei ahitai,” ati.“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.

22Jesun adonbutna thu ajah phat chun, hitin aseitai, “Nabol loulai thil khat aum'e. Nanei jouse joh in lang hiche sum chu mivaicha ho pen, chutileh van'a gou nanei ding ahi. Chuteng hungin, neijuijin,” ati.On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

23Ahivangin mipa chun hichu ajahdoh phat in alungkham lheh tan ahi, ijeh inem itile ama chu haosa tah ahi.But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.

24Jesun hichu amu phat in, aseitai, “Mihaosa Pathen Lenggam alut ding hi iti hah hitam!Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

25“Atahbeh in, heobil hom'a sangongsao alut galkai ding hi mihaosa Pathen Lenggam a alut ding sangin abaijoi!” ati.Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26Hiche akisei jajouse chun aseiyun, “Achutileh vannoi leiset a koi ham huhhingna chang jou ding?” atiuve.Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27Aman adonbut in, “Mihem dinga hithei lou chu Pathen dinga hithei ahi,” ati.But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

28Peter in aseijin, “Keihon nangma jui dingin ka-in'u kadalha uve,” ati.“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”

29Jesun adonbut in, “Henge” chuleh ka lhamon nahiuve, “Koi hileh Pathen Lenggam jal'a a'in ham, ajinu ham, asopiho ham, ahilou le anu apa ham achate ham pedoh chan chu,“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

30tamtah vei tu hinkhoa hi lepeh a um diu chule ahunglhung ding khang'a jong tonsot hinkemlou amu ding'u ahi,” ati.will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”

31Seijui som le ni ho atumbeh'in apuidoh in, Jesun ajah uva aseiye, “Ngaiyun, eiho Jerusalem chetou ding ihiuve, Mihem Chapa chung chang thudol'a themgao thusei jouse guilhun na ding mun chu ahi.Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

32Ama chu Rome te khut a pehdoh a um ding ahi, chule ama chu tot thanghoia um ding, jachat umtah a kibol ding, chil kiset khum ding ahi.He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

33Ama hon avoh uva chule atha diu ahi, ahivanga anithum nileh thoukit ding ahi,” ati.They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

34Ahin, ama hon hitiho thu hi khatcha ahethei pouve. Athusei ho athupije chu amaho a konna ki immang ahi, hijeh a chu athusei chu amattoh theilou u ahitai.But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.

35Jesun Jericho anaisuh lai hin, mitcho khutdo khat lamsih ah ana touve.As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36Aman mihonpi kijot khuto gin ajah phat in, ipi thu hitam ti adongin ahi.When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

37Nazereth Jesun hikom chu ahopa ahi ti aseipeh tauve.“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

38Hijeh chun amapa ahung eojah tan, “Jesu, David chapa, neilungset in!” ahintin ahi.So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

39“Thip in” tin masang langa miho chun ahutot tauvin ahi. Ahivangin ama awgingjep in ahapen cheh tan, “David Chapa, neilungset in!” ati.Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

40Jesun ajahdoh phat in, adingin mipa chu ahin puilut diuvin athupeh tai. Mipa ahung nai toh lhon'in Jesun adongin,Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had come near, Jesus asked him,

41“Ipi nabolpeh leng natim?” tin adong tai. Aman, “Pakai, kho muleng kati!” ati.“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

42Chuin Jesun aseijin, “Aphai, kho mutan! Natahsan in na damsah ahitai,” ati.“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”

43Apettah chun mipa chun kho amutai chuleh ama pan Jesu nung ajuijin Pathen avahchoi tai. Chuleh amu jousen jong Pathen avahchoi cheh tauve.Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
