¹At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat.

¹Huchihlaiin, Jesun tuh Khawlniin buhlei khawng kanin a paia; a nungjuite tuh a gil uh a kiala, buhvui khawng a khiak ua, a neta uh.

²But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath.

²Huan, Pharisaiten a muh un, a kiangah, En dih, na nungjuiten Khawlniin hih sianglou a hih uh, a chi ua.

³But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

³Aman bel a kiang uah, Davidin a gilkial laia a lawmte toh a thil hih uh na sim kei ua hia?

⁴how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?

⁴Huchia Pathian in a a lut a, amah leh a lawmten nek sianglouh, siampute kia nek siang tanghou koih a nek thu uh?

⁵Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?

⁵Ahihkeileh, Khawlniin Pathian biakina siampu omten Khawlni a hihthang ua leng siamtanin a om jel uh chih dan thu ah na simkei ua hia?

⁶But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here.

⁶Abang abang hileh, Pathian biakin sanga thupijaw hiai ah a om chih ka honhilh ahi.

⁷But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

⁷Himahleh, Kithoihna deih louin, zahngaihna ka deih, chih, a omdan na natheita hi le uchin, mi siamtangte tuh siam louh tangsak lou ding hive uchin.

⁸For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

⁸Mihing Tapa jaw Khawlni Toupa ahi ngala, a chi a.

⁹And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:

⁹Huan, huaia kipanin a paia, a kikhopna in uah a valuta.

¹⁰and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.

¹⁰Huan, ngaidih, mi khat khut jaw a na oma, Huan a hek theihna ding un. Khawlnia hihdam a siang hia? chiin Jesu a dong ua.

¹¹And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

¹¹Huan, aman tuh a kiangah uah, Noute lakah kuapeuhin belam khat nei unla, huai tuh Khawlniin kokhuk ah keta leh, kua ahia lena kaikhe lou ding?

¹²How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.

¹²Belam khat sangin mihing khat tuh bangchi lela manpha jaw ahia? Huaijiakin Khawlniin hihhoih a siang hi, a chi a.

¹³Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.

¹³Huaitakin, huai mi kiangah tuh, Na khut zanin, a chi a. Huchiin, a zana, alangkhat bangin a dam siangta.

¹⁴But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

¹⁴Huchiin Pharisaite tuh a pawt ua, amah a hihlup theihna dan ding uh ngaihtuahin a kihou ua.

¹⁵And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all,

¹⁵Himahleh, Jesun huai a theihin huaia kipanin a kihemmangta. Huan, mitampiin amah a jui ua.

¹⁶and charged them that they should not make him known:

¹⁶a nahihdam vek a, a tanchin than het louh ding a kiang uah a chi a.

¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁷Jawlnei Isaiin,

¹⁸Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles.

¹⁸En dih, ka sikha ka tel, ka deih tak ka lungsimin a pahtak mahmah, a tungah ka Kha ka koih dia, huchiin, Jentelte kiang ah dika vaihawmna thu a gen ding.

¹⁹He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.

¹⁹A sel keidinga, a kikou sam keidinga, kongzing khawng ah leng kuamahin a aw a za sam kei ding uh.

²⁰A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.

²⁰Dika-vaihawmna a vualzohsak mateng sialluang gawp a hihtan khe kei dinga, thaumei kuang liakliak a hihmit sam kei ding.

²¹And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.

²¹Amah min ah Jentelten lametna a nga ding uh, chia a gen a hongtun theihna dingin.

²²Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw.

²²Huchihlaiin dawi mat mittaw pautheilou khat a kiangah a honpi ua; huan, aman a na hihdama, huchiin, pautheilou tuh hongpau theiin, a honmu thei ta a.

²³And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?

²³Huan, mipi tengtengin lamdang a sa mahmah ua, Hiai mipa David Tapa hilou ahi maw? a chi ua.

²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.

²⁴Himahleh, Pharisaiten huai a jak phet un, Hiai min dawi lal Beezibul jiaklou in dawite a delhkhe kei ding, a chi ua.

²⁵And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

²⁵Huan, Jesun a ngaihtuahte uh a natheia, a kiang uah, Koi gam leng amah kidoua mangthang nak; koi khua leng, hiam, koi inkuan khat leng amah kidou tuh, a ding khosuak kei ding.

²⁶and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?

²⁶Huan, Setanin Setan mah a delhkhiakin amah kidou hi ding hi a; a gam tuh bangchin a ding dia le?

²⁷And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

²⁷Huan, kei Beelzibul jiaka dawite delhkhia ka na hih leh, na tate un kua jiakin ahia leh a delhkhiak uh? Huaijiakin amaute tuh noute tunga thukhenmite ahi ding uh.

²⁸But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.

²⁸A hihhangin, kei Pathian Kha jiaka dawite delhkhia ka na hih leh, Pathian gam na kiang uah hongtungta ahi ding.

²⁹Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man,] and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]? and then he will spoil his house.

²⁹Huchi a hih keingalin, min mi hat tuh a gak masak phot kei leh bangchin ahia mi hat ina a lut dia a sum a laksak theih ding? huai nungin tuh a in tuh a lohsak mai ding ahi.

³⁰He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

³⁰Kuapeuh ka lama pang lou tuh, hon dou ahi; kuapeuh honlak khawm pih lou tuh, a hihjak ahi.

³¹Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

³¹Huai jiakin ka honhilh ahi, mi a khelhna chiteng uah leh Pathian a gensiatna chiteng ua ngaihdam a hin dinguh: Kha hilhial gensiatna tuh ngaihdamsak ahi kei ding.

³²And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.

³²Huan, kuapeuh Mihing Tapa kalh tuh a kalhna uh ngaihdamsak ahi ding: kuapeuh Kha Siangthou hilhial kalh jaw huai a kalhna uh, tu damsung in leng, hun hongtung ding ah leng, ngaihdamsak a hikei ding.

³³Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.

³³Sing tuh a hoih, a gah leng a hoih, na chih kei ngal uleh, sing tuh a sia, a gah leng a sia, chi vanglak un: sing tuh a gaha a kitheih ngal jiakin,

³⁴Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

³⁴Gul suante aw, now gilou napiin bangchin ahia thu hoih na gan thieh ding uh? Lungtang a dim val tuh kamin a gen jel ahi.

³⁵The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

³⁵Mi hoihin a goubawm hoih a kipan thil hoihte a honla khia a, mi gilou in a gou bawn hoihlou akipan thil hoihlou a honlakhe jel.

³⁶And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

³⁶Huan, ka honhilh ahi. Miten thu gina lou a gen peuh mah uh, huai thu tanchin tuh vaihawm ni chiah a gen ding uh.

³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

³⁷Na thuin siam a hontangsak dia, na thu mahin siam louh a hontangsak ding hi, a chi a.

³⁸Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we would see a sign from thee.

³⁸Huailaiin laigelhmite leh Pharisaite laka mi kuate hiamin amah a houpih ua, a kiangah. Heutupa, na kiang akipan chiamtehna muh ka ut uh a chi ua.

³⁹But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

³⁹Aman tuh a kianguah. Khangthak gilou tak leh angkawnhat takten chiamtehna a zong ua, himahleh, jawlnei Jona chiamtehna loungal tuh a kiang uah chiamtehna himhim piak ahi kei ding.

⁴⁰for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁴⁰Jona ni thum leh jan thum ngapi gilsunga a om bangin. Mihing Tapa ni thum leh jan thum lei gil sungah a om sam ding.

⁴¹The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

⁴¹Ninevi khuaa mite tuh thukhen ni chiangin tulai khangthakte kiangah a ding sam dingua, siam louh a tangsak ding uh. Jona thu gen jiakin a kisik ngal ua: ngai dih ua. Jona sanga thupijaw hiai ah a om.

⁴²The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

⁴²Sim lam kumpinu tuh thukhen ni chiangin tulai khangthakte kiangah a thou sam ding, siam louh a tangsak ding, Solomon pilna ngaikhe dingin bawn kawlmonga kipan a hongpai ngalin bawn kawlmonga kipan a hingpai ngala; ngai dih ua, Solomon sanga thupijaw hiaiah a om hi.

⁴³But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.

⁴³Huan, dawi nin mi sunga kipan a pawtin, khawlna zongin tui om louhna mun bangah a vak vak a, a mu ngal kei a.

⁴⁴Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

⁴⁴Huan, Ka pawtna in mahah ka kiknawn mai ding, a chi a: huan, a vatun leh, a vuaka, zep hoih sain a va mu a.

⁴⁵Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.

⁴⁵Huai takin a vapaia, amah sanga gilou jaw dawi dang sagih a honpi a, huaiah a lut ua, a tengta ua: huai mihing omdan nanung tuh a masa sangin a honghoih kei zo nak ahi. Tuamah bangin, tulai kangthak giloutakte tunga a hongom ding, chiin a dawnga.

⁴⁶While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

⁴⁶Mipite kianga thu a gen laiin ngai dih, a nu leh a unaute tuh amah houpih tumin, inpua ah a ding ua.

⁴⁷And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.

⁴⁷Huan, mi khatin a kiangah. Ngaidih. na ni leh na unaute nang hohhoupih tumin inpua ah a ding nilouh uh, a chi a.

⁴⁸But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

⁴⁸Aman tuh a hilhpa kiangah. Ka nu kua ahia? Ka unaute leng kuate ahia ua? chiin a dawnga.

⁴⁹And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

⁴⁹Huan, a nungjui lamah a khut zan a. En un, ka nu leh ka unaute:Kuapeuh ka Pa vana om deihlam hih phot tuh ka unaute ka sanggam nute, ka nute ahi uh a chi a.

⁵⁰For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

⁵⁰Kuapeuh ka Pa vana om deihlam hih phot tuh ka unaute ka sanggam nute, ka nute ahi uh a chi a.
