¹Huan, hichi ahia, Jesun a nungjui sawm leh nihte thu a piak zoh phetin huai a kipanin a khua khawng ua hilh ding leh thugen dingin a paita a.

¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

²Huan, Johanin, suangkulh sunga Kris thilhihte a najakin a nungjuite tuh sawlin a kiangah,

²Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

³Hongpai dingpa na hi hia, a hihkeileh midang hungaih lai ding ka hi uhia? a chi saka.

³And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

⁴Huan Jesun a kiang uah, Pai nawnta unla, thil na muh uh leh na jak uh Johan kiangah vahilh un.

⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

⁵Mittawte a mit uh a hong vakta, khebaite khein a hongpai ua, phakte a hongsiangthouta ua, bengngong te leng a bil uh a hongvakta, misite leng kaihthohin a omta ua; a jawngten leng Tanchin Hoih hilh a dongta uh.

⁵The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

⁶Huan, kuapeuh ka tunga lunghihlouhna mu lou tuh a hampha uhi, chiin a na dawnga.

⁶And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

⁷Huai mite tuh a paitak un, Jesun mipite kingah Johan thu a genta a, Bang en dinga gamdai a pai khia neita ua? Sialluang huih mut ling maw?

⁷And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

⁸A hihkeikeh, bang en dingpena pai khia neita ua? Puan nem silh maw? Ngai un, puan nem silhte jaw kumpipate in ah eive a om uh.

⁸But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

⁹A hihkeileh, bang jiakpenin ahia na pai khiak uh? jawlnei, en dngin maw? A hi tawk vo oi, ka honchi ahi, jawlnei sanga leng thupijaw.

⁹But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

¹⁰en dih, ka thangkou na ma ah ka sawl ahi, aman tuh na ma ah na lam a bawl ding. chih, a tanchin a gelh uh, hiai mipa ahi.

¹⁰For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

¹¹Chihtaktakin, ka honhilh ahi, Numei suan lakah Baptispa Johan sanga thupijaw a suak ngei kei; himahleh vangama mi neu deuh leng amah sangin a thupizo ngal ua.

¹¹Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

¹²Baptispa Johan om akipan tutanin vangamin hiamgamna a tuak nak, hiamgamten hat thuin a la uh.

¹²And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

¹³Jawlneite tengteng leh dan thuin Johan a hongom tanphain a na gen khol jel uh ahi.

¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

¹⁴Na pom nop uleh, huai jaw Elija, hongpai dingpa mah ahi.

¹⁴And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

¹⁵Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin ja heh.

¹⁵He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶Himahleh, tulai khangthakte bang toh ka tehpih dia? Naupang dawlmun khawnga tua, a lawmte sama

¹⁶But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

¹⁷Tamngai hontum sak una, lam lou uchina, Kap huphup unga, sun lou uchin a. chite bang ahi uh

¹⁷And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

¹⁸Johan a hongpaia, a ne in a dawn kei a, dawi nei ahi, a chi ua.

¹⁸For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

¹⁹Mihing Tapa a hongpai a, a ne in a dawn a, Endih ua, an haipa uain haipa, siahkhonte leh mikhialte lawm; a chi ngal ua. Himahleh, pilna tuh a thilhihten siam a tan uh, a chi a.

¹⁹The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

²⁰Huan, a kisik louh jiakun, a thil thupi hih tamna pen khuate tuh a taita a.

²⁰Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

²¹Korazin, na tung gik e: Bethsaida, na tung gik e; noumau a thil thupi hihte Tura leh Sidon khua a hih hileh, saiip puan silha vut laka tuin akisikta ding uh.

²¹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

²²Himahleh, ka honhilh ahi, thukhen ni chiangin nou thuak ding sangin Tura leh Sidon khua thuak ding a dan a om zo ding.

²²But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

²³Huan, nang Kapernaum, van tana tawisang na hi dia hia? Misi khua tan a vapai ding neive, nangmah a thil thupi tak hihte Sodom khuaa hih hileh, tutanin a om lai ding.

²³And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

²⁴Himahleh, ka honhilh ahi, thukhen ni chiangin na thuak ding sangin Sodom gam thuakding a dan a om zo ding, a chi a

²⁴But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

²⁵Huchihlaiin, Jesun a houpiha, Pa aw, leitung leh van Toupa, nang mi pil leh mi bengvakte kiangah hiai thu na ima, naungekte kianga na than jiakin ka honphat hi.

²⁵At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

²⁶A hi, Pa, tua bang hih tuh, nang ngaihin a hoih ahi.

²⁶Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

²⁷Ka Pan thil bangkim honkem sakta; Pa louin kuamahin Tapa a theikei; Tapa leh a kiang ua Tapain a kitheihsak utnate kia loungalin kuamahin Pa a theikei.

²⁷All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

²⁸Nou sem gim leh puakgik po tengteng aw, ka kiangah hongpai unla, keiman khawlna konpe ding.

²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²⁹Ka hakkol pua unla, keia kipan zil un; thunuailut leh lungtanga kingainiam tak ka hi; huchiin, na kha ua dingin khawlna na mu ding uh.Ka hakkol a nuama, ka puak leng a jang ahi, a chi a.

²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

³⁰Ka hakkol a nuama, ka puak leng a jang ahi, a chi a.

³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
