¹Huchih laia mipi sang tampi kiphumuimui zou hiala hongkikhop un, Jesun a masapenin a nungjuite kiangah, Pharisaite silngou, lepchiahna lakah pilvang un,

¹In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

²Lang lou dinga selguk bangmah a om ngal keia; theih louh dinga im leng bangmah a om sam kei.

²For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

³Huaijiakin miala na gen peuh uh vaka jakin a om ding; dantan sunggila bil bula na thu gen uh intungvuma tangkoupihin a om ding.

³Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

⁴Huan, ka lawmte aw, ka honhilh ahi, Sapum hihlum a, huai nunga bangmah dang hihnawn theiloute jaw, kihta kei un,

⁴And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

⁵Ahihhangin kua ahia na kihtak ding uh ka honhilh khol ahi; a hihlup nunga leng Gihennaa paih theihna thu neipa kihta un.

⁵But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

⁶Kawlgit nga dal dangka nihin a juak sek kei ua hia? Himahleh, a lak ua khat leng Pathianin a mangngilh ngei ngal keia.

⁶Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

⁷Na lu ua samzangte nangawn leng sim vek ahi uh. Lau kei un; kawlgit tampi sangin na manpha jaw uhi.

⁷But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

⁸Huan ka honhilh ahi, Mite maa hon gum peuhmah Pathian angelte maah Mihing Tapain a gum sam ding a.

⁸Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

⁹Himahleh mite maa honkitheihmoh bawl peuhmah Pathian angelte maah kitheihmoh bawl a hisam ding.

⁹But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

¹⁰Huan, Mihing Tapa kalha thugen peuhmah a genkalhna uh ngaihdam sak ahi ding a; himahleh Kha Siangthou hilhial gensia tuh a gensiatna ngaihdam sak ahi kei ding.

¹⁰And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

¹¹Huan, kikhopna in a mite, vaihawmte, heutute maa a honpi hun chiangun, Bang chiin, bang thuin ka dawng dia, bang thu ka gen dia chiin lungkham kei un;

¹¹And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

¹²huchih huntakin, bang ahia na gen ding uh, Kha Siangthouin a honhilh ding hi, a chi a.

¹²For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

¹³Mipi laka khatin, Jesu kiangah, Sinsakpa, ka u kiangah gou honhawm sam dingin hilh in, a chi a.

¹³And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

¹⁴Himahleh, aman, a kiangah, Mihing, noumau tungah kuan ahia kei thukhenpa hiam tanseppa hiam a honbawl? a chi a.

¹⁴And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

¹⁵Huan, a kiang uah, Pilvang unla, enna himhim lakah kiveng un; hauhna mihing dam san ahi kei hi, a chi a.

¹⁵And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

¹⁶Huan, a kiang uah gentehna thu a gen a, Mi hau kuahiam a hongpung mahmah a,

¹⁶And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

¹⁷huchiin a kingaihtuah a, Bangchi bangin ka hih de aw? Ka buh leh bal koih khawmna ka nei ngal kei a.

¹⁷And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

¹⁸Huan, Hichi bang in ka hih ding e; ka buhin te ka phel dinga, a sanga lianin ka lam dia, huai ah tuh ka buh leh ka van tengteng ka koih khawm ding.

¹⁸And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

¹⁹Huan, ka kha kiangah, Kha, kum tampi sunga ding tampi na khol a; khawl inla, nein dawn inla, nuam takin omin, ka chi ding, a chi a.

¹⁹And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

²⁰A hihhangin, Pathianin a kiangah, Nang mihai, tu jan chiah na kha a honlak sak ding uh, huai nalam khiakte, kuaa ahi ta dia?

²⁰But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

²¹Amau adinga gou khola, Pathian lama haulou tuh huchi ahi nak uh, a chi a.

²¹So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

²²Huan, a nungjuite kiangah, Huaijiakin ka honhilh ahi, Bang ka ne diam aw? Chiin, na hinna thu uh leh, Bang ka silhin ka teng diam aw? Chiin, na sapum thu uh lunghimoh kei un.

²²And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

²³Nek ding sangin hinna a thupi jaw hi, puansilh sangin leng sapum a thupi jaw ahi.

²³The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

²⁴Vaakte khawng ngaihtuah dih uh, buh a tuh kei ua, a at samkei uh; pang bang, buh in bang leng a neikei uh; himahleh Pathianin amau a vak ngala; nou tuh vasate sanga na manphat jawk dan uh.

²⁴Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

²⁵Huan, nou lakah lunghimoh jiaka kuain ahia amah dunglam tong khata hihsang thei tuan?

²⁵And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

²⁶Hiai lel leng hih theiloute bangin, bang dia thil dang lunghimoh nak na hi ua?

²⁶If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

²⁷Lilite khandan ngaihtuah dih uh; na a sem kei ua, khau leng a khek kei uh; himahleh, ka honhilh ahi, Solomon hial leng a thupina tengtenga a kizepin, hiai lilite laka khat banga zepin a om kei.

²⁷Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

²⁸Huchiin, gama loupa, tuni banga hinga, a jinga thuka khul nawn mai ding bawn, Pathianin hichi tela a zep leh, aw, nou mi gin tawmte aw, huai sangin puansilh honpe zo natel inchia:

²⁸If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

²⁹Huan, na nek ding uh, na dawn ding uh, zong kei un; ginlahna lungsim neiin leng om sam kei un.

²⁹And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

³⁰Khovela namten huai thil tengteng a zong uh; huai bang na kiphamoh uh chih na Pa un a thei gige ngala.

³⁰For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

³¹Amah gam zong jaw un, huchiin huai thilte leng a honpiak behlap ding ahi.

³¹But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³²Pawl tawmte aw, lau kei un; nou kianga gam piak ding tuh na Pa uh kipah lamtak ahi.

³²Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

³³Na neih peuh uh juak unla, mi gentheite kiangah pia un; vanah guta hohlouhna ah, leikha neksiat louh na ah, dangka ip lui theiloute, gou bei theiloute kibawl un.

³³Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

³⁴Na gou omna peuh ua na lungtang uleng a om ding jiakin.

³⁴For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

³⁵Na kawng uh gak unla, na khawnvak uh leng de sain om un;

³⁵Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

³⁶min a pu uh kitenna ankuang luina akipana a hongpai chianga, kongkhak a honkiuh taka, na nahonthei pah dinga a na ngak nilouh bangun, om un.

³⁶And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁷A pu uh a hongpai chiangin sikha na ngak nilouha a muhte a hampha uhi; chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, Aman a kawng a gak dia, amau tuh an um dingin a tu sakdinga, ana uh a sep sakding.

³⁷Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

³⁸Jan laiin hiam, thoh hunin hiam a honga, huchi banga a honmuh, huai sikhate tuh a hampha uh.

³⁸And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

³⁹A hihhangin, hiai thei un, guta a hongpai ding inneipan thei leh, a vengdia, a in a phen vang sak kei ding.

³⁹And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

⁴⁰Nou leng mansa in om un, na gintak louhlai tak un Mihing Tapa hongpai ding ahi ngala, a chi a.

⁴⁰Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

⁴¹Huan, Peterin, Toupa, hiai gentehna thu koumau kia hia non hilh, mi tengteng? achi a.

⁴¹Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

⁴²Huan, Toupan, sumkempa ginom, piltak, a puin a hun teng a a tan ding uh hawm sak dinga a inkuanpihte tunga heutua a bawl ding tuh kuapen ahi dia le?

⁴²And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

⁴³A pu a hongpai chiangin sikha huchibanga hih a hon muhdingpa tuh a hampha.

⁴³Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

⁴⁴Diktakin ka honhilh ahi, a neih tengteng tunga heutu dingin a bawl ding.

⁴⁴Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

⁴⁵Ahihhangin huai sikhain, a lungtangin, Ka pu a hong zok kei ding e, chiin, a sikhanu, a sikhapa, na vo ta leh, nein dawnin na nakham leh.

⁴⁵But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

⁴⁶huai sikha pu tuh, a gin louh niin, a theih louh laiin, a hong dinga, tum nih a honsuah dinga, mi ginom loute tan bang a tangsak ding hi.

⁴⁶The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

⁴⁷Sikha a pu deihlam theigige na pia na nakiging tuan lou-a, a pu deihlama leng gamta loupan nakpitaka vuak a tuak ding.

⁴⁷And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

⁴⁸A hihhangin, theiloupi-a vuakna thama gamtapan awlchika vuak a tuak ding. Tampi piaka ommi peuhmah kiangah tampi phutin om ding; tampi a kepsakpa uh kiangah a tamsem a phut ding uh.

⁴⁸But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

⁴⁹Khovela mei khe suk dinga hongpai ka hi; tu inleng kang pah leh china tel ing e!

⁴⁹I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

⁵⁰Himahleh, baptisma tan ding ka nei, huai hihtangtun mateng tuh ka om nuam lou hina mahmah tel e:

⁵⁰But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

⁵¹Khovela lem leng sak dinga hongpai hiam honsa nahi umaw? Hi dek lou, ka honhilh ahi, kidou leng sak dinga hongpai ka hi jaw.

⁵¹Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

⁵²Tunung chiangin inkuan khat ah mi nga a kidou ding uh, thumin nih, nihin thum.

⁵²For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

⁵³A kidou dingua, pain a tapa, a tapain a pa; a nuin a tanu, a tanuin a nu; a piin a mou, a mouin a pi, a chi a.

⁵³The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

⁵⁴Huan, mipi kiangah leng, Tumlama mei kai na muh uleh, vuah a zu ding, na chi pahngal ua; huan a hongzu ngei jela.

⁵⁴And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

⁵⁵Huan, sim huih nung na muh chiang un, Khua lum ding ei ve, na chi uh, huan, a honglum ngei jela.

⁵⁵And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

⁵⁶Nou lepchiah te aw, khovel leh van omdan leng na genchian thei ngal ua, bangchia tulai hun gen chian siam lou na hi ua?

⁵⁶Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

⁵⁷Bang achia noumauin thu adik kikhen lou na hi ua?

⁵⁷Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

⁵⁸Honhekpa toh thukhenpa kiang na zot laiun, lampi ah kilep theihna khat zong teitei in; huchilouin jaw thukhenpa mai ah honkai lut dinga, thukhenpan miman heutu honmansak dinga. Miman heutupan suangkulh ah honkhum kha ding.Ka honhilh ahi, paihsasan khat nangawn na piak kim masiah, huai akipan na pawt kei hilhial ding, a chi a.

⁵⁸When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

⁵⁹Ka honhilh ahi, paihsasan khat nangawn na piak kim masiah, huai akipan na pawt kei hilhial ding, a chi a.

⁵⁹I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
