¹Huan, Jesu Jeriko khua ah a luta, pai suak din a kisa a.

¹And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

²Huan, ngai in, mi khat a min Zakai a om a; huai mi tuh siahkhon heutu ahi a, amah leng a hau ngiala.

²And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

³Huan, Jesu mi bangchi bang hiam chih, muh a tuma; amah lah a niam ngala, mipi jiakin, a mu theikei a.

³And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

⁴Huchiin, a matai a, a en dingin theipi kung ah a kaha; huai lampi tuh a hontot ding ahi ngala.

⁴And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

⁵Huan, Jesu huai mun a tunin a daka, a kiangah, Zakai, hongkum meng in; tuniin na ina tung ding ka hi, a chi a.

⁵And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

⁶Huan kintakin a kuma, kipaktakin amah tuh a zintuntaa.

⁶And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

⁷Huan huai amuh tak un, a vek un, Mi khialte kianga tung dingin a lutta ve, a chi ua, a phun ua.

⁷And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

⁸Huan, Zakai a dinga, Toupa kiang ah, Ngai in, Toupa, ka sum kimkhat tagahte kiangah kape dinga; huan, kua lakah leng thil bangpeuh na negu taleng, a leh liin ka din ding, a chi a.

⁸And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

⁹Huan, Jesun, akiangah, Tuniin hiai in ah hotdamna a hongtungta, amah leng Abraham tapa ahi ngala.

⁹And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰Mangthangte zonga hotdam dingin Mihing Tapa a hongpai, ahi him hi, a chi a.

¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹Huan, huai thute a ngaihkhiak lai un, Jerusalem khua a naih tak jiak leh Pathian gam honglang pah ding hia a gin jiak un gentehna thu a gen tela.

¹¹And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

¹²Huchiin hiai thu khawng a gena; Mi Hoih kuahiam gam ukna thu laa hongkik nawn dingin kho gamla takah a hoha.

¹²He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³A hoh dingin a sikhate sawm a sama, a kiang uah dangkaeng sawm a pia a, a kianguah, Ka hongtun nawn masiah hiaiin sum na sin un, achia.

¹³And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

¹⁴Himahleh, a khuaten a hua ua, Hiai mi katung ua vaihawm dingin ka deih kei uh, chiin a nungah thu akha ua.

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵Huan, hichi ahia, gam ukna thu tuh a laka, a hong kik nawn in, a sikha sum a piakte, a hekpung dan uh theihna din, a sam saka.

¹⁵And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶Huan, a masapen a hongpaia, Toupa, na dangka sawmin a pung, a chi a.

¹⁶Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

¹⁷Huan aman, a kiangah, Sikha hoih, nahih hoih e; tawm chik tunga na ginom jiakin kho sawm tungah heutuin om in, a chi a.

¹⁷And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

¹⁸Huan, a zom a hongpaia, Toupa, na dangka ngain a pung e, a chi a.

¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

¹⁹Huan, aman, amah kiangah leng, Nang leng kho nga tungah heutuin omin, a chi a.

¹⁹And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

²⁰Huan, mi dang a hongpaia, Toupa, en in, hiai na dangka: khoulnulna puanin ka kem kinken ahi;

²⁰And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

²¹Mi mawktak na hih jiakin kon kihta ahi; na koih louh leng na la naka, na tuh louh leng na at nak ngala, a chi a.

²¹For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

²²Huan, aman, a kiangah, sikha gilou, na paukam suak ngeiin kon siam louh ding. Mi mawktat ka hiha, ka koih louh leng ka lak naka, ka tuh louh leng ka at nak na thei maw?

²²And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

²³Huchi a hih leh, bang dia ka sum sumina na koih lou? huchiin ka hongpaiin a pung toh ka lak ding ahi, a chi a.

²³Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

²⁴Huan, a kianga dingte kiangah, A dangka lak sak unla, dangka sawm neipa kiangah pia un, a chi a.

²⁴And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

²⁵Huan, amau, a kiangah, Toupa, aman jaw dangka sawm a nei a ka, a chi ua.

²⁵(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

²⁶Ka honchi ahi, a nei peuh piakbehlap ahi ding a, a neilou tuh a neih sun leng lak sak ahi ding hi.

²⁶For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

²⁷Himahleh, hiai ka galte a tung ua vaihawm dia hondeih lou, honpi unla, ka maah that un, a chi a, a chi a.

²⁷But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

²⁸Huan, huchibang thu agen khitin Jerusalem kho lam naih tou in ma a kaia.

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

²⁹Huan hichi ahia, Bethphage leh Bethani kho kiang, Oliv tang kichi a tunin, nungjuite laka mi nih a sawla.

²⁹And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰Na ma jawn khua uah vahohta unla; huaiah na lut tung un sabengtung nou khih, kuamah tuanna ngei nai louh, na vamu ding ua, huai honphel unla, honkai un.

³⁰Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

³¹Huan, kuapeuhin, Bangdia phel? chia a hondot uleh, hichin na gen ding uh, Toupan a deih ahi, chiin.

³¹And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

³²Huan, asawlte tuh a paita ua, a kiang ua a gen bang ngeiin a vamu ua.

³²And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

³³Huan, sabengtung nou tuh a phel lai un, a neiten a kiang uah, Sabengtung nou bangdia phel? a chi ua.

³³And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

³⁴Huan, amau, Toupan a deih ahi, a chi ua.

³⁴And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

³⁵Huchiin, Jesu kiangah a honkai ua; huan, sabengtung nou tungah a puante uh aphah ua, a tungah Jesu a tuang sak uhi.

³⁵And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

³⁶Huan, a paina ding lampi ah a puante uh a phah jel ua.

³⁶And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

³⁷Huan, a tun ding kuan in, Oliv tang kumsukna ding takah, nungjui mipi tengtengin a thilthupi hih tengteng a muh jiak un a kipak ua, aw ngaihtakin Pathian tuh a phat uhi;

³⁷And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

³⁸Toupa mina kumpipa hongpai tuh a hampha e; vanah lem thu leng henla, tungnungpen ah thupina om hen, chiin.

³⁸Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁹Huan, mipi laka Pharisai khenkhatin a kiangah, Sinsakpa, na nungjuite taiin, a chi ua.

³⁹And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

⁴⁰Aman bel, Ka honhilh ahi, Hiaite a daih uleh suangte bek a kikou ding uh, a chi a, a dawnga.

⁴⁰And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

⁴¹Huan, a tun kuanin, khua a mu a, a kahkhuma;

⁴¹And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

⁴²Aw nang telin tu sungin khamuanna ding thu honthei leteh aw: Himahleh tun jaw na muh louhna dingin a kisel ta ngala.

⁴²Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

⁴³Na galten na kimin lei kulh a khoh ding ua, a honum ding ua, na kimin pawt theih louhin a honom khum ding ua, huchibang nite tuh na tungah a hong tung ding;

⁴³For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴⁴na sunga na ta na naute, nangmah toh leiah hon pai ek ding ua; na sungah suang kichiang himhim a hawi kei ding uh; veha na om ni na theihlouh jiakin, chiin.

⁴⁴And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

⁴⁵Huan, Pathian biakin ah a va luta, bangpeuh juakte a delhkhia a, a kiang uah,

⁴⁵And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

⁴⁶Ka in thumna in ahi ding, chih gelh ahi; nou bel suamhatte khukin na bawl jaw uh, a chi a.

⁴⁶Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

⁴⁷Huan, nitengin Pathian biakin ah thu a hilh jela. Huan, siampu liante leh, laigelhmite leh, vantang laka heutu deuhten, amah hihmang atum ua;Himahleh, min phatuam ngai taka a thu a ngaihkhiak jiak un, a hihna dingdan a thei tuan kei uhi.

⁴⁷And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁸Himahleh, min phatuam ngai taka a thu a ngaihkhiak jiak un, a hihna dingdan a thei tuan kei uhi.

⁴⁸And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
