¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Jesu koilai mun hiamah a thum a, a thum khitin a nungzui mi khatin a kiangah, Toupa, thumdan Johanin a nungjuite a hilh bangin honhilh sam ve, a chi a.

¹And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

²Huan, aman a kiang uah, Na thum chiang un hichi bangin na chi ding uh, achia: Ka Pa uh, vana om, na min kizahtak hen, Na gam hongtung hen.

²And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

³Ni tengin ka nek khop uh an honpia in.

³Give us day by day our daily bread.

⁴Ka khelhte uh hongaidam in, kou leng kuapeuh bat honneite tengteng ka ngaidam uhi; huan, khemna ah honpilut ken.

⁴And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

⁵Huan, amahmahin, akiang uah, Na lak ua kua ahi hiamin lawm nei henla, jan laiin a kianga hohin, Lawm, tanghou phel thum honleitawi sak ve;

⁵And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

⁶ka lawm zinin a hontawna, a maa lui ding bangmah ka nei ngak kei a, chi henla;

⁶For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

⁷in sung a pan tuh, Hon hihbuai ken; tun jaw kong khak ahi, ka tate leng ka kiangah lupnaah a ihmuta uh; thouin ka hongpe theikei, chiin, dawng leh, ka honhilh ahi,

⁷And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

⁸A lawm a hih jiakin thouin a vape kei na a, a nget ngutngut jiakin thouin a deihzahzah a vape ding.

⁸I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

⁹Huchiin, ka honhilh ahi, Ngen un, huan, piakin na om ding uh; zong un, huan na mu ding uh; kiu un, huan, honsakin na om ding uh.

⁹And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

¹⁰Kuapeuh a ngenin a mu nak a, kuapeuh a zongin a mu nak a, kuapeuh a kiu tuh honsakin a om ding.

¹⁰For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

¹¹Nou laka pa pen, a tain tanghou phel ngen leh, kuan ahia suang pe ding? A hihleh, nga ngen leh, kuan ahia nga sika gul pe ding?

¹¹If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹²A hihleh, aktui ngen leh, aikam a pe dia hia?

¹²Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹³Huchiin, nou migilouin bawn noumau tate thil hoih piakna dan na theih uleh, na Pa uh vana omin a ngente Kha Siangthou pe natel in chia: a chi a.

¹³If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹⁴Huan, Jesun dawi pau theilou khat a delh khia a. Huan, hichi ahi a, dawi tuh a pawt takin pautheilou tuh a hongpauta; huchiin mipiin lamdang a sa mahmah uh.

¹⁴And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

¹⁵Himahleh, a khenin, Dawi lal Beelzibul jiakin eive dawite a delh khiak jel, a chi ua.

¹⁵But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

¹⁶Huan, a khenin, amah zeetna dingin, vana kipan chiamtehna a ngen ua.

¹⁶And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

¹⁷Aman tuh a ngaituah uh ana thei a, a kiang uah, Koi gam leng amah kidou peuh a mangthang nak; inkuan khat leng amah kidou tuh a mangthang nak.

¹⁷But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

¹⁸Setan leng amah a kidou leh, a gam bangchin a dingkhe dia? -Beelzibul jiakin dawite a delh khia, non chi ngal ua.

¹⁸If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

¹⁹Huan, kei Beelzibul jiaka dawite delh khia ka na hih leh, na tate un kua jiakin ahia a na delh khiak jel uh? Huaijiakin amau noute honvaihawmsak dingte ahi ding uh.

¹⁹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

²⁰A hihhangin, kei Pathian khut zung jiaka dawite delh khe jel ka hih leh, Pathian gam na kiang uah hongtung khin ahi vele.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

²¹Mi hatin hiamzat kim tawia a in a ven sung teng, a sum bit takin a om gige a;

²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

²²himahleh, a sanga hatjawin a honsuala, a zoh chiangin, a muan a galvan kim tuh a sut a, sum a lak sak tuh a hawmjak jel hi.

²²But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

²³Kuapeuh ka lama panglou tuh, hondou ahi a, kuapeuh honlak khawm pih louin a hihjak ahi.

²³He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

²⁴Dawi nin mi sung akipana apawtin, khawlna zongin tui om louhna mun peuhah a vak vak a; huan, khawlna himhim a mu kei a, ka pawtna in ah ka kik nawn mai ding, a chi a.

²⁴When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

²⁵Huan, a va tunin phiat sianga zephoihin a mu a.

²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

²⁶Huai takin a vapaia, amah sanga gilou jaw dawi dang sagih a honpi a, huaiah a lut ua, a om gige uh; huai mihing tuh a omdan nanung a masa sangin a honghoih keizo tham hi, a chi a.

²⁶Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

²⁷Huan, hichi ahi a, huai thute a genlaiin, mipi lakah numei khat a kikou khia a, a kiangah, Nang honpai gil a hampha e, na nawi tep toh, a chi a.

²⁷And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

²⁸Aman bel, A hi, himahleh Pathian thu jaa juite mi hampha ahi jaw uh a chi a.

²⁸But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

²⁹Huan, mipite a kiangah hongkikhop lai un, Jesun, Tulai khangthakte jaw khangthak gilou ahi uh; chiamtehna a zong ua; himahleh Jona chiamtehna chih louh a kiang uah chiamtehna himhim piak ahi kei ding.

²⁹And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

³⁰Jona tuh Ninevi khuaa mite adia chiamtehna a na hih bangin, Mihing Tapa leng tulai khangthakte din chiamtehna a honghi ding.

³⁰For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

³¹Thukhenni chiangin, Simlam kumpinu tulai khangthakte kiangah a ding sam dia, siamlouh a tang sak ding; Solomon pilna ngaikhe dingin bawn kawl mong a kipan a hong ngala; ngai un, Solomon sanga thupi jaw hiai ah a om ahi.

³¹The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

³²Thukhenni chiangin, Ninevi khuaa mite tulai khangthakte kiangah a ding sam ding ua, siamlouh a tang sak ding uh, Jona thu hilh jiakin a kisik ngal ua; ngai un, Jona sanga thupijaw hiai ah a om ahi.

³²The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

³³Kuamahin khawnvak a det un in nuai tawngah a koih ngei kei uh, loh nuaiah a koih ngei sam kei uh, alut miten a vak a muh theihna ding uah a koihna ah a koih jel uh.

³³No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

³⁴Na sapum khawnvak tuh na mit ahi; na mit a chim leh na sapum leng a vekin a vak suak nak hi; a chim keileh bel na sapum leng a mial vek nak hi.

³⁴The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

³⁵Huchiin, na sunga vak om tuh mial a nahi kha ding e pilvangin.

³⁵Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

³⁶Huchiin, na sapum koi laipeuh mial lou a a veka a vak khiak leh, khawnvak vak petpetin a tatvak bangin a vak khe vek ding, a chi a.

³⁶If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

³⁷Huan, a gen laiin Pharisai khatin amah a kianga an ne dingin achiala; huchiin, a luta an a ne a.

³⁷And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

³⁸Huan, Pharisaiin a an um a muhin, an nek maa a sil louh tuh lamdang a sa mahmah a.

³⁸And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁹Huan, Toupan, akiangah, Nou Pharisaiten nou leh kuang po lam na silsiang ngeitak ua; na sung lam ulah lepgukna leh gilouin a dim ngala.

³⁹And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

⁴⁰Mi haite aw, polam bawlpan sung lam leng a bawl ka hia?

⁴⁰Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

⁴¹Himahleh, a sunga thil om tuh mi genthei kianga piak dingin zang un; huchiin, ngai un, nou adin bangkim siangthou khin ahi.

⁴¹But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴²Nou Pharisaite aw, na tung uh a gik e: pudina, pardi leh anteh-louhing teng sawma khat na pia ua, diktatna leh Pathian itna na limsak ngal kei ua; himahleh huaite eive na hih ding uh, a dangte hih lou tuan lou in.

⁴²But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³Nou Pharisaite aw, na tung uh a gik e: kikhopna in ah tutphah hoihpente leh dawl muna chibai bukte na ngaisang uh.

⁴³Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴Na tung uh a gik hi: Han chih kithei lou, a tunga theiloua mi apai jelna bang uh, na hi uh, a chi a.

⁴⁴Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

⁴⁵Huan, dantheimi khatin, a kiangah, Sinsakpa, hiai thu na gen tuh kou leng hontai na hi, a chi a, a dawng a.

⁴⁵Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶Huan, aman, Dantheimite aw, nou leng na tung uh a gik: Puakgik, puak haksapipi mite na suan ua, nou lah tua puakgikte na khut zung khat un leng na khoih ngei ngal kei ua.

⁴⁶And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷Na tung uh a gik: Jawlneite han in khawng na lam ua, na pipute uh thah ahi ngal ua.

⁴⁷Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁸Huchiin na pipute uh thilhihte na theihpih un na hoihsakpih uh ahi; amau a that ua, nou a han inte uh na lam ngal ua.

⁴⁸Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

⁴⁹Huaijiakin, Pathian pilna inleng, A kiang uah jawlneite leh sawltakte ka sawl dia, a khen a that ding ua, a khen a sawi ding uh;

⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

⁵⁰jawlnei tengteng sisan, leilung piantung akipan a suah, tulai khangthakte tungah phu a lak theih ding a chih;

⁵⁰That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

⁵¹Abel sisan suah akipan, Zakaria, maitam leh biakin kikala si sisan suah tannin; ahi, ka honhilh ahi, tulai khangthakte tungah phu a akila ding.

⁵¹From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

⁵²Nou dantheite aw, na tung uh a gik e: Pilna tabi na paimang pih ua; nou lah na lut ngal kei ua, mi lut ding lah na dal ngal ua, a chi a.

⁵²Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

⁵³Huan, huaia kipan apawtin, laigelhmite leh Pharisaiten amah a tawng ua, thu chiteng gen sak teitei tumin leh,a pau khelh zenzena mat tumin a tang gige uh.

⁵³And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

⁵⁴a pau khelh zenzena mat tumin a tang gige uh.

⁵⁴Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
