¹And he entered and was passing through Jericho.

¹Huan, Jesu Jeriko khua ah a luta, pai suak din a kisa a.

²And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.

²Huan, ngai in, mi khat a min Zakai a om a; huai mi tuh siahkhon heutu ahi a, amah leng a hau ngiala.

³And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.

³Huan, Jesu mi bangchi bang hiam chih, muh a tuma; amah lah a niam ngala, mipi jiakin, a mu theikei a.

⁴And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

⁴Huchiin, a matai a, a en dingin theipi kung ah a kaha; huai lampi tuh a hontot ding ahi ngala.

⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.

⁵Huan, Jesu huai mun a tunin a daka, a kiangah, Zakai, hongkum meng in; tuniin na ina tung ding ka hi, a chi a.

⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

⁶Huan kintakin a kuma, kipaktakin amah tuh a zintuntaa.

⁷And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.

⁷Huan huai amuh tak un, a vek un, Mi khialte kianga tung dingin a lutta ve, a chi ua, a phun ua.

⁸And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.

⁸Huan, Zakai a dinga, Toupa kiang ah, Ngai in, Toupa, ka sum kimkhat tagahte kiangah kape dinga; huan, kua lakah leng thil bangpeuh na negu taleng, a leh liin ka din ding, a chi a.

⁹And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

⁹Huan, Jesun, akiangah, Tuniin hiai in ah hotdamna a hongtungta, amah leng Abraham tapa ahi ngala.

¹⁰For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹⁰Mangthangte zonga hotdam dingin Mihing Tapa a hongpai, ahi him hi, a chi a.

¹¹And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.

¹¹Huan, huai thute a ngaihkhiak lai un, Jerusalem khua a naih tak jiak leh Pathian gam honglang pah ding hia a gin jiak un gentehna thu a gen tela.

¹²He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹²Huchiin hiai thu khawng a gena; Mi Hoih kuahiam gam ukna thu laa hongkik nawn dingin kho gamla takah a hoha.

¹³And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come.

¹³A hoh dingin a sikhate sawm a sama, a kiang uah dangkaeng sawm a pia a, a kianguah, Ka hongtun nawn masiah hiaiin sum na sin un, achia.

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

¹⁴Himahleh, a khuaten a hua ua, Hiai mi katung ua vaihawm dingin ka deih kei uh, chiin a nungah thu akha ua.

¹⁵And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

¹⁵Huan, hichi ahia, gam ukna thu tuh a laka, a hong kik nawn in, a sikha sum a piakte, a hekpung dan uh theihna din, a sam saka.

¹⁶And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.

¹⁶Huan, a masapen a hongpaia, Toupa, na dangka sawmin a pung, a chi a.

¹⁷And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

¹⁷Huan aman, a kiangah, Sikha hoih, nahih hoih e; tawm chik tunga na ginom jiakin kho sawm tungah heutuin om in, a chi a.

¹⁸And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.

¹⁸Huan, a zom a hongpaia, Toupa, na dangka ngain a pung e, a chi a.

¹⁹And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.

¹⁹Huan, aman, amah kiangah leng, Nang leng kho nga tungah heutuin omin, a chi a.

²⁰And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:

²⁰Huan, mi dang a hongpaia, Toupa, en in, hiai na dangka: khoulnulna puanin ka kem kinken ahi;

²¹for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.

²¹Mi mawktak na hih jiakin kon kihta ahi; na koih louh leng na la naka, na tuh louh leng na at nak ngala, a chi a.

²²He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;

²²Huan, aman, a kiangah, sikha gilou, na paukam suak ngeiin kon siam louh ding. Mi mawktat ka hiha, ka koih louh leng ka lak naka, ka tuh louh leng ka at nak na thei maw?

²³then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?

²³Huchi a hih leh, bang dia ka sum sumina na koih lou? huchiin ka hongpaiin a pung toh ka lak ding ahi, a chi a.

²⁴And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.

²⁴Huan, a kianga dingte kiangah, A dangka lak sak unla, dangka sawm neipa kiangah pia un, a chi a.

²⁵And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.

²⁵Huan, amau, a kiangah, Toupa, aman jaw dangka sawm a nei a ka, a chi ua.

²⁶I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

²⁶Ka honchi ahi, a nei peuh piakbehlap ahi ding a, a neilou tuh a neih sun leng lak sak ahi ding hi.

²⁷But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

²⁷Himahleh, hiai ka galte a tung ua vaihawm dia hondeih lou, honpi unla, ka maah that un, a chi a, a chi a.

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁸Huan, huchibang thu agen khitin Jerusalem kho lam naih tou in ma a kaia.

²⁹And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

²⁹Huan hichi ahia, Bethphage leh Bethani kho kiang, Oliv tang kichi a tunin, nungjuite laka mi nih a sawla.

³⁰saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.

³⁰Na ma jawn khua uah vahohta unla; huaiah na lut tung un sabengtung nou khih, kuamah tuanna ngei nai louh, na vamu ding ua, huai honphel unla, honkai un.

³¹And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.

³¹Huan, kuapeuhin, Bangdia phel? chia a hondot uleh, hichin na gen ding uh, Toupan a deih ahi, chiin.

³²And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.

³²Huan, asawlte tuh a paita ua, a kiang ua a gen bang ngeiin a vamu ua.

³³And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

³³Huan, sabengtung nou tuh a phel lai un, a neiten a kiang uah, Sabengtung nou bangdia phel? a chi ua.

³⁴And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

³⁴Huan, amau, Toupan a deih ahi, a chi ua.

³⁵And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.

³⁵Huchiin, Jesu kiangah a honkai ua; huan, sabengtung nou tungah a puante uh aphah ua, a tungah Jesu a tuang sak uhi.

³⁶And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.

³⁶Huan, a paina ding lampi ah a puante uh a phah jel ua.

³⁷And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;

³⁷Huan, a tun ding kuan in, Oliv tang kumsukna ding takah, nungjui mipi tengtengin a thilthupi hih tengteng a muh jiak un a kipak ua, aw ngaihtakin Pathian tuh a phat uhi;

³⁸saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁸Toupa mina kumpipa hongpai tuh a hampha e; vanah lem thu leng henla, tungnungpen ah thupina om hen, chiin.

³⁹And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

³⁹Huan, mipi laka Pharisai khenkhatin a kiangah, Sinsakpa, na nungjuite taiin, a chi ua.

⁴⁰And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

⁴⁰Aman bel, Ka honhilh ahi, Hiaite a daih uleh suangte bek a kikou ding uh, a chi a, a dawnga.

⁴¹And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,

⁴¹Huan, a tun kuanin, khua a mu a, a kahkhuma;

⁴²saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

⁴²Aw nang telin tu sungin khamuanna ding thu honthei leteh aw: Himahleh tun jaw na muh louhna dingin a kisel ta ngala.

⁴³For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴³Na galten na kimin lei kulh a khoh ding ua, a honum ding ua, na kimin pawt theih louhin a honom khum ding ua, huchibang nite tuh na tungah a hong tung ding;

⁴⁴and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

⁴⁴na sunga na ta na naute, nangmah toh leiah hon pai ek ding ua; na sungah suang kichiang himhim a hawi kei ding uh; veha na om ni na theihlouh jiakin, chiin.

⁴⁵And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,

⁴⁵Huan, Pathian biakin ah a va luta, bangpeuh juakte a delhkhia a, a kiang uah,

⁴⁶saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.

⁴⁶Ka in thumna in ahi ding, chih gelh ahi; nou bel suamhatte khukin na bawl jaw uh, a chi a.

⁴⁷And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:

⁴⁷Huan, nitengin Pathian biakin ah thu a hilh jela. Huan, siampu liante leh, laigelhmite leh, vantang laka heutu deuhten, amah hihmang atum ua;Himahleh, min phatuam ngai taka a thu a ngaihkhiak jiak un, a hihna dingdan a thei tuan kei uhi.

⁴⁸and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

⁴⁸Himahleh, min phatuam ngai taka a thu a ngaihkhiak jiak un, a hihna dingdan a thei tuan kei uhi.
