¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Khawlniin Pharisai vaihawmmi khat ina an ne dinga hoh in, a en khia ua.

¹And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

²Huan, ngai in, a ma ah damlou chibawk mi kua hiam a oma.

²And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

³Huchiin, Jesun dan theimi leh Pharisaite a houpiha, a kiang uah, Khawlniin hihdam asiang hia, siang lou? a chi a.

³And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

⁴Amau bel a dai dide ua, huan, aman damlou tuh a len a, a hihdama, a paisakta a.

⁴And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

⁵Huan, a kianguah, Na lak uah na sabengtung u hiam, bawng hiam tuitohkhiakkhuk ah nake taleh, Khawlniin leng kua ahia kai khepah lou ding? a chi a.

⁵And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

⁶Huai thu tuh a dawng theikei uh.

⁶And they could not answer him again to these things.

⁷Huan, a mi sapte un tutnamun hoihpen a tel jel dan uh a mu a, a kiang uah gentehna thu a genta a:

⁷And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

⁸Kitenna an ne dinga kuapeuhin a honsap chiangin tutnamun hoihpen ah tu kei un; huchilou injaw, na sang ua mi phajaw a na sam kha dia, huchiin, a honsampan,

⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

⁹Hiai mi tutna ding awn in, a hon chi dia; huan nang zumpiin tutnamun niam pen ah natu nawn phing ding ahi.

⁹And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

¹⁰A honsap chiangin tutnamun niam pen ah na vatu zo ding a; huchiin a honsampa a hong chiangin, na kiangah, Lawm, tutnamum hoih deuh ah tu in, a honchi theiding. Huchiin na anumpihte mitmuhin pahtawiin na om ding.

¹⁰But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

¹¹Kingaipha peuh a neu ding ua: kingaineu tuh pahtawiin a om ding uh, a kiang uah a chi a.

¹¹For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹²Huan, a sampa kiangah leng, Sunin hiam, janin hiam ankuang na lui chiangin, na lawmte, na unaute, na sanggamte, na inveng mihaute na sam kei ding; huchilou injaw a honsam thuk ding ua, a honthuk chitchiat kha ding uh.

¹²Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

¹³Ankuang na lui chiangin, tagahte, piangsualte, khebaite, mittawte, na sam zo ding;

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹⁴huchiin, huai bangten thukna ding a neih louh jiak un, na hampha ding; mi dikte thoh nawn chiangin thuk nawn na hih ding jiakin, a chi a.

¹⁴And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

¹⁵Huan, a anumpih kuahiamin huai thu tuh a ja a, a kiangah, Pathian gama an ne ding tuh a hampha, a chi a.

¹⁵And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶Huan, aman, a kiangah, Mi kuahiamin janin ankuang thupi luina a bawla, mi tampi a sama;

¹⁶Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

¹⁷huan, anek hunin, ami sapte kiangah, Hong ua, tuin bangkim manta, chi dingin a sikha a sawla.

¹⁷And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

¹⁸Huan, a vek un thu khat satin paulam a nei chiat ua. A masapenin, a kiangah, Lou ka leita a, a en dia ka hoh kipha moh hi; honhehpih inla, hon na ngai siam heh, a chi a.

¹⁸And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹Huan, midangin, Bawng tuak nga ka leita a, a siat a phat chiandingin ka kuan dinga, honhehpih inla hon na ngai siam heh, a chi a.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

²⁰Huan, mi dangin, ji ka neita a, huaijiakin ka hoh theikei, a chi a.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²¹Huan, sikhain, a pu kiangah, huai thute tuh a vahilh ta a. Huan, inneipa tuh a heh a, a sikha kiangah, Pawt inla, kongzing khawngah, kawmkal khawngah pai mengmeng inla, tagahte, piangsualte, mittawte, khebaite hiai laiah honpilut in, a chi a.

²¹So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

²²Huan, a sikhain, Pu, non thupiak bangin ka hihkhina, himahleh mun awng lailaive aw, a chi a.

²²And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

²³Huan, a puin, sikha kiangah, Pawt inla, lamlian khawng ah, dai khawng ah pai inla, ka in dimna dingin mi hon sawl lut teitei in.

²³And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

²⁴Ka honhilh ahi, Mi ka sapte khatin leng ka ankuang lui achiam kei hial ding, a chi a, a chi a.

²⁴For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

²⁵Huan, mipi thupi takte a kiangah a hoh sam ua; huchiin amah a kiheia, a kianguah,

²⁵And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

²⁶Kuapeuh ka kianga hongin, a pa, a nu, a ji, a tate, a unau a sanggamnu, leh amah hinna nangawn toh a huat keileh ka nungjui ahi theikei ding.

²⁶If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁷Kuapeuh a kros pua honjui lou tuh ka nungjui ahi theikei ding.

²⁷And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁸Nou laka kuapeuhin in sang lam tum le uchin, amasain tuin, lam zohna khop sum na neih uleh neih louh thei dingin, aman ding dan kuaa hia sut lou ding.

²⁸For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

²⁹Huchilou injaw, suang phum khin phota, a lam zoh theih kei leh, a en peuhin,

²⁹Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

³⁰Hiai min a gel na a, a lam zou thei ngal keia chiin, a nuihsan kha ding uh.

³⁰Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

³¹Huan, kumpipa kuain ahia kumpipa dang dou dinga a kuan dingin, a masaa tu a, mi sing nih toh amah dou ding a hong tuh, mi sing khat toh a tuah ngam ding leh ding louh, mi dong lou ding?

³¹Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

³²Huchi a hihkei vanglakleh, kumpipa dang tuh gamla pia a om laiin, kituahna lam thuchiam ngen dingin palai a sawl ding.

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

³³Huchi bangmahin, nou lakah kuapeuh a neih tengteng paisan lou tuh ka nungjui ahi theikei ding.

³³So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

³⁴Chi a hoiha, himahleh, chi leng a pen khitin, bangin a hih-al nawn ding ua?Leia dingin a hoih kei; ekvum dingin leng a hoih sam kei; min a pai khia uh. Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin ja hen, a chi a.

³⁴Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁵Leia dingin a hoih kei; ekvum dingin leng a hoih sam kei; min a pai khia uh. Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin ja hen, a chi a.

³⁵It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
