¹And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Khawlniin Pharisai vaihawmmi khat ina an ne dinga hoh in, a en khia ua.

²And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy.

²Huan, ngai in, a ma ah damlou chibawk mi kua hiam a oma.

³And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?

³Huchiin, Jesun dan theimi leh Pharisaite a houpiha, a kiang uah, Khawlniin hihdam asiang hia, siang lou? a chi a.

⁴But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.

⁴Amau bel a dai dide ua, huan, aman damlou tuh a len a, a hihdama, a paisakta a.

⁵And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?

⁵Huan, a kianguah, Na lak uah na sabengtung u hiam, bawng hiam tuitohkhiakkhuk ah nake taleh, Khawlniin leng kua ahia kai khepah lou ding? a chi a.

⁶And they could not answer again unto these things.

⁶Huai thu tuh a dawng theikei uh.

⁷And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,

⁷Huan, a mi sapte un tutnamun hoihpen a tel jel dan uh a mu a, a kiang uah gentehna thu a genta a:

⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,

⁸Kitenna an ne dinga kuapeuhin a honsap chiangin tutnamun hoihpen ah tu kei un; huchilou injaw, na sang ua mi phajaw a na sam kha dia, huchiin, a honsampan,

⁹and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.

⁹Hiai mi tutna ding awn in, a hon chi dia; huan nang zumpiin tutnamun niam pen ah natu nawn phing ding ahi.

¹⁰But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

¹⁰A honsap chiangin tutnamun niam pen ah na vatu zo ding a; huchiin a honsampa a hong chiangin, na kiangah, Lawm, tutnamum hoih deuh ah tu in, a honchi theiding. Huchiin na anumpihte mitmuhin pahtawiin na om ding.

¹¹For everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹¹Kingaipha peuh a neu ding ua: kingaineu tuh pahtawiin a om ding uh, a kiang uah a chi a.

¹²And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

¹²Huan, a sampa kiangah leng, Sunin hiam, janin hiam ankuang na lui chiangin, na lawmte, na unaute, na sanggamte, na inveng mihaute na sam kei ding; huchilou injaw a honsam thuk ding ua, a honthuk chitchiat kha ding uh.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹³Ankuang na lui chiangin, tagahte, piangsualte, khebaite, mittawte, na sam zo ding;

¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴huchiin, huai bangten thukna ding a neih louh jiak un, na hampha ding; mi dikte thoh nawn chiangin thuk nawn na hih ding jiakin, a chi a.

¹⁵And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁵Huan, a anumpih kuahiamin huai thu tuh a ja a, a kiangah, Pathian gama an ne ding tuh a hampha, a chi a.

¹⁶But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:

¹⁶Huan, aman, a kiangah, Mi kuahiamin janin ankuang thupi luina a bawla, mi tampi a sama;

¹⁷and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready.

¹⁷huan, anek hunin, ami sapte kiangah, Hong ua, tuin bangkim manta, chi dingin a sikha a sawla.

¹⁸And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁸Huan, a vek un thu khat satin paulam a nei chiat ua. A masapenin, a kiangah, Lou ka leita a, a en dia ka hoh kipha moh hi; honhehpih inla, hon na ngai siam heh, a chi a.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹Huan, midangin, Bawng tuak nga ka leita a, a siat a phat chiandingin ka kuan dinga, honhehpih inla hon na ngai siam heh, a chi a.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁰Huan, mi dangin, ji ka neita a, huaijiakin ka hoh theikei, a chi a.

²¹And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.

²¹Huan, sikhain, a pu kiangah, huai thute tuh a vahilh ta a. Huan, inneipa tuh a heh a, a sikha kiangah, Pawt inla, kongzing khawngah, kawmkal khawngah pai mengmeng inla, tagahte, piangsualte, mittawte, khebaite hiai laiah honpilut in, a chi a.

²²And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.

²²Huan, a sikhain, Pu, non thupiak bangin ka hihkhina, himahleh mun awng lailaive aw, a chi a.

²³And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.

²³Huan, a puin, sikha kiangah, Pawt inla, lamlian khawng ah, dai khawng ah pai inla, ka in dimna dingin mi hon sawl lut teitei in.

²⁴For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

²⁴Ka honhilh ahi, Mi ka sapte khatin leng ka ankuang lui achiam kei hial ding, a chi a, a chi a.

²⁵Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,

²⁵Huan, mipi thupi takte a kiangah a hoh sam ua; huchiin amah a kiheia, a kianguah,

²⁶If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁶Kuapeuh ka kianga hongin, a pa, a nu, a ji, a tate, a unau a sanggamnu, leh amah hinna nangawn toh a huat keileh ka nungjui ahi theikei ding.

²⁷Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁷Kuapeuh a kros pua honjui lou tuh ka nungjui ahi theikei ding.

²⁸For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?

²⁸Nou laka kuapeuhin in sang lam tum le uchin, amasain tuin, lam zohna khop sum na neih uleh neih louh thei dingin, aman ding dan kuaa hia sut lou ding.

²⁹Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,

²⁹Huchilou injaw, suang phum khin phota, a lam zoh theih kei leh, a en peuhin,

³⁰saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

³⁰Hiai min a gel na a, a lam zou thei ngal keia chiin, a nuihsan kha ding uh.

³¹Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

³¹Huan, kumpipa kuain ahia kumpipa dang dou dinga a kuan dingin, a masaa tu a, mi sing nih toh amah dou ding a hong tuh, mi sing khat toh a tuah ngam ding leh ding louh, mi dong lou ding?

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.

³²Huchi a hihkei vanglakleh, kumpipa dang tuh gamla pia a om laiin, kituahna lam thuchiam ngen dingin palai a sawl ding.

³³So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

³³Huchi bangmahin, nou lakah kuapeuh a neih tengteng paisan lou tuh ka nungjui ahi theikei ding.

³⁴Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴Chi a hoiha, himahleh, chi leng a pen khitin, bangin a hih-al nawn ding ua?Leia dingin a hoih kei; ekvum dingin leng a hoih sam kei; min a pai khia uh. Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin ja hen, a chi a.

³⁵It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: [men] cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

³⁵Leia dingin a hoih kei; ekvum dingin leng a hoih sam kei; min a pai khia uh. Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin ja hen, a chi a.
