¹The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

¹Pathian Tapa Jesu Kris Tanchin Hoih tun tungna

²Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way.

²Jawlnei Isai laibu ah, Ngaidih, ka sawltak na maah ka sawla, aman na lampi a bawl ding.

³The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;

³Gamdaia mi kikou aw in, Toupa lamlian sial unla, a lampite hihtang un, a chi, chia gelh bangin.

⁴John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.

⁴Johan, gamdaia baptispa, thilhihkhelh ngaihdamna dinga kisikna baptis thu genin, a hongpawt a,

⁵And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; And they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁵Huan, Judia gama mi tengteng leh Jerusalem khua a mi tengteng a pawt ua, a kiang lamah a pai ua, a khelhnate uh thupha tawiin Jordan luiah, a kiangah baptisma a tang chiat ua.

⁶And John was clothed with camel's hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.

⁶Huan, Johan tuh sangawngsau mul puanin a kivana, a kawng savun kawnggakin a gaka a an tuh khaukhup leh khuaiju ahi.

⁷And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

⁷Huan, Ka nungah kei sanga thupijaw a hong lel ahi; kuna a khedap khau phel tak leng ka hi kei.

⁸I baptized you in water; But he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

⁸Ken tuiin nou ka honbaptis jel a; aman jaw Kha Siangthouin a honbaptis ding, chiin a gen a.

⁹And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

⁹Huan, huai nite khawngin hichi a honghi a, Jesu Galili gama Nazaret khuaa kipanin a hongpaia, Jordan lui ah Johan baptisma tansakin a om.

¹⁰And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:

¹⁰Huaitak in; tui apat a pawtin, van kihonga, Kha vakhu banga a tunga hongkum a mu a,

¹¹And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

¹¹Huan, Nang ka Tapa deihtak na hi a, na tungah ka kipak mahmah ahi, chiin, van a kipanin aw a hongpawt a.

¹²And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.

¹²Huan, Khain amah tuh gamdai ah a sawlpah ngala.

¹³And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him.

¹³Huchiin, Setan khem kawmin gamdai ah ni sawmli a om a, gamsa lakah bang a om a; angelten a na a sep sak uh.

¹⁴Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

¹⁴Huan, Johan mat a om nungin, Jesu, Pathian Tanchin Hoih genin, Galili gamah a honga.

¹⁵and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.

¹⁵A hun a hongtungta a, Pathian gam leng a hongnaita; kisik unla Tanchin Hoih gingta un, chiin.

¹⁶And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.

¹⁶Huan, Galili dil gei a nawk laiin Simon leh Simon unaupa Andru dil ah len paiin a mu a; nga manmi ahi him ua.

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁷Huan, Jesun, a kiang uah, Honjui un, huchiin mihing man din ka honbawl ding, a chi a.

¹⁸And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.

¹⁸Huan, len khawng paisanin a jui pah ua.

¹⁹And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.

¹⁹Huan, saulou a pai leh Zebedai tapa Jakob leh a unau pa Johan a mu a, huaite tuh len bawl phain long mahah a om ua.

²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

²⁰Huan, aman amau a sam pah a; huchiin, a pa uh Zebedai tuh kilohmite a goihte utoh longah a nusia ua, a juita uh.

²¹And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

²¹Huan, Kapernaum khua ah a valut ua; huan, Khawlniin kikhopna in ah a lut a, thu a hilh a.

²²And they were astonished at his teaching: For he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²²A thuhilh tuh lamdang a sa mahmah ua; laigelhmite banglou a, theihna nei hileh kilawm taka amau thu a hilh jiakin.

²³And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²³Huan, a kikhopna in uah dawi nin paimi khat ana om a; aman tuh,

²⁴saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁴Nazaret Jesu, kou leh nang banga hia i kizoolhna om? Kou honhimang dia hong na hi maw? Nang ka honthei a, Pathian Mi Siangthou na hi, chiin, a kikou khe pah ngala.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁵Huan, Jesun a taia, Dai inla, a sunga kipanin hongpawt in, a chi a.

²⁶And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

²⁶Huan, dawi ninin amah engbawla ngaihtaka kikouin a sunga kipan a hongpawt ta a.

²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

²⁷Huan, a vek un lamdang a sa mahmah ua, huchiin, Hiai bang ahia le? thuhilhna thak ahi ve! Dawi ninte nangawn thunei takin thu a pia a, a thu a mang jel uh, chiin, a kidong uh.

²⁸And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.

²⁸Huan, Galili gam kim tengtengah gam chih ah a tanchin a thang pah ta a.

²⁹And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

²⁹Huan, kikhopna in akipan a pawt un, Jakob leh Johan toh Simon leh Andru in ah a lut pah ua.

³⁰Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:

³⁰Huan, Simon ji nu khosikin a chi a na a, a na lum a; huchiin, a tanchin tuh Jesu a hilh pah ua.

³¹and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

³¹Huan, aman a khut a valen a, a phongta a; huchiin a khosik a damta a, a na uh a sepsakta.

³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.

³²Huan, nitaklama ni a tum nungin, damlou tengteng leh dawi matte a kinagah a honpi ua.

³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

³³A khojang un kongkhak ah a hongom khawm kheukhou ua.

³⁴And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁴Huan, mi tampi natna chitenga nate a hihdama, dawi tampi a delhkhia a; dawiten amah a theih jiak un a pau uh a phal kei.

³⁵And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.

³⁵Huan, jingsangin, khovak ma tham in a thoua, a pawta, gamdai mun ah a vahoha, huaiah a thum a.

³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;

³⁶Huan, Simon leh a lawmten a nungah a jui ta ua.

³⁷and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.

³⁷huan, amah a vamuh un a kiangah, Mi tengtengin hongzong hi ve un, a chi ua.

³⁸And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.

³⁸Huan aman tuh a kiang uah, Mun dangah kho naite khawngah hohni, huailai khawng banga leng thu ka gen theihna dingin; huaimah lah ka hongpawt san ahi ngala, a chi a.

³⁹And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

³⁹Huchiin thu hilha dawite delhkhe kawm jelin Galili gam tengteng a a kikhopnain uah te a lut jel hi.

⁴⁰And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁴⁰Huan, a kiangah phak a hongpaia, Na ut leh non hihsiangthou thei, chiin, ama ah khukdinin, a ngen ngutngut a.

⁴¹And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.

⁴¹Huan, aman tuh a na hehpih mahmaha, a sawka, a khoiha, Ka ut hi, na siangthouta in, a chi a.

⁴²And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

⁴²Huchiin, phaknain tuh amah a taisan pah ngala, hong siangthouta hi.

⁴³And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,

⁴³Huan, Jesun amah a kham bikbeka, a sawlkhe paha.

⁴⁴and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁴Kuamah kianga bangmah gen lou dingin pilvang in; a hihhangin siampi kiangah vakilak inla, na kisiansakna dingin Mosi in thil a sehte lan in, a theihchetna ding un, a chi a.Himahleh, amah tuh a pawta, huai thu nakpi taka tangkoupihin a than jakta a; huchiin Jesu tuh a langtangin khua ah a lut theita kei a, gamdai mun khawngah a om zota; huan, mun teng apatin a kiangah mite a hong jel uh.

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

⁴⁵Himahleh, amah tuh a pawta, huai thu nakpi taka tangkoupihin a than jakta a; huchiin Jesu tuh a langtangin khua ah a lut theita kei a, gamdai mun khawngah a om zota; huan, mun teng apatin a kiangah mite a hong jel uh.
