¹Huan, lungke louin a thum gige ding uh ahi chih theihna dingin akiang uah gentehna a gen a:

¹He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

²Koilai khua hiamah thukhenmi khat a oma, huai min Pathian a lau keia, mihing leng a khawksa kei;

²saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God, and didn’t respect man.

³huan, huai khuaah meithai khat a oma; aman, Ka lang tungah phu honlaksak in, chiin, a kiangah a hoh zihzeh a.

³ A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’

⁴Huan, amah tuh sawt khop a ut keia; himahleh, a nungin a lungsimin, Pathian lau louin mihing khawksa kei mah leng;

⁴ He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,

⁵hiai meithaiin honhihbuai jiakin a phu ka lak sak mai ding, huchilouin jaw, a hong zihzeh leh a honhih gim ek kha ding, a chi a.

⁵ yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”

⁶Huan, Toupa mahin, Thukhenmi diktatlou thugen ja un.

⁶The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.

⁷A tunguah dohzou tadih mahleh leng a mitel, a sun a jana amah samte phu tuh Pathianin a lak sak kei dia hia?

⁷ Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

⁸Ka honhilh ahi, a phu uh a lak sak pah ding. Himahleh Mihing Tapa a hongpai hun chiangin leitungah tuabang ginna a honmu nadiam? a chi a.

⁸ I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

⁹Huan, mi diktat hih kigingta a, mi dang tengteng musit kuate hiam kiangah hiai gentehna thu leng a gen a:

⁹He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

¹⁰Mi nih Pathian biakin ah thum dingin a hoh tou ua; khat tuh Pharisai ahi a, khat tuh siahkhonmi ahi.

¹⁰ “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

¹¹Pharisai tuh a dinga, amah kiain hichibangin a thum a: Pathian, mi dang, a negute, dikloute, angkawmte bang ka hih louh jiak leh, hiai siahkhonmi bang leng ka hih louh jiakin na tungah ka kipak hi.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

¹²Nipikal khat tengin nihvei an ka ngawl jel; ka neih teng sawm ah khat ka pe jela, a chi a.

¹² I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

¹³Siahkhonmin bel gamla taka dingin, van lam leng a dak ngam keia, Pathian, kei mi khial, ka tungah zahngai in, chiin, a awm a kitum a.

¹³ But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

¹⁴Ka honhilh ahi, a masa sangin huai mipen tuh siam tangin a in ah a pai kheta. Kingaithupi peuh a niam ding ua, kingainiam tuh pahtawiin a om ding, a chi a.

¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

¹⁵Huan, a khoih dingin a kiangah a naungekte uh a honpi ua; nungjuiten bel huai a muh tak un a natai ua.

¹⁵They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

¹⁶Himahleh, Jesun amau a sama, Naupang neute ka kiangah honpai sak unla, kham kei un, Pathian gam huchibang mite a ahi ngala.

¹⁶Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁷Chihtaktakin ka honhilh ahi, Kuapeuh Pathian gam naupang neuin a kipahpih banga kipahpih lou tuh a sungah alut keihial ding, a chi a.

¹⁷ Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

¹⁸Huan, vaihawmmi kuahiamin, a kiangah, Sinsakpa hoih, khantawn hinna tanna dingin bang ka hih dia? chiin, a donga.

¹⁸A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

¹⁹Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Bangdia hoih honchi? mi khat kia ngallou kuamah hoih a om kei, huai tuh Pathian ahi.

¹⁹Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.

²⁰Thupiakte na thei vo oi, Angkawm ken, Tualthat ken, Gu ken, Hek ken, Na nu leh pa pahtawi in, chihte, a chi a.

²⁰ You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

²¹Huan, aman, Huai thu tengteng ka naupan chik a kipan ka jui jel, achia.

²¹He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”

²²Huan, Jesun huai a jakin a kiangah, Tuin leng thil khat na sam hi; na neih tengteng juak inla, tagahte kiangah hawm in, huchiin vanah gou na nei ding; huan, hongpai inla, honjui in, a chi a.

²²When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.”

²³Aman bel, huai thute a jakin a lungkham mahmah a, a hauh mahmah jiakin.

²³But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.

²⁴Huchiin, Jesun amah tuh a ena, Sum haute Pathian gama lut haksa na e:

²⁴Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁵Mi sumhau Pathian gama lut sangin sangawngsau phim bila lut suak a nuam jaw ahi, a chi a.

²⁵ For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁶Huan, huai thu zaten, Huchi a hihin kua hotdamin a om thei dia? a chi ua.

²⁶Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁷Aman tuh, Mihing hih vual louh Pathian hih theih ahi, a chi a.

²⁷But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

²⁸Huan, Peterin, ngai in, kou ka in uh leh lou pai sanin kon jui ua, a chi a.

²⁸Peter said, “Look, we have left everything, and followed you.”

²⁹Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Chih taktakin ka honhilh ahi, Kuapeuh Pathian gam jiaka, in hiam, ji hiam, unaute hiam, nu le pa hiam, tate hiam paisan photphot,

²⁹He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God’s sake,

³⁰tu dam sung mahmahin a sanga tam jaw mu lou ding kuamah a om kei, hun hongtung lai dinga khantawna hinna toh, a chi a.

³⁰ who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”

³¹Huan, sawm leh nihte a kiangah api tuama, a kiang uah, Ngai un, Jerusalem khua a hoh tou ding i hi ua; jawlneite thu gelh tengteng Mihing Tapa tungah a tung ding.

³¹He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

³²Jentelte kiangah piakin a om ding a, nuihzabawlna din a zang ding uh, zumhuai takin a bawl ding ua, chil a siat ding uh;

³² For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

³³Huan, a vo ding ua, a hihlum ding uh; huan, ni thum niin a thou nawn ding, a chi a.

³³ They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”

³⁴Huan, huai thute himhim a theisiam kei ua, a thu gen tuh a lak uah selin a oma, bang gen ahia chih leng a theikei uh.

³⁴They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

³⁵Huan, hichi ahi a, Jeriko khua a tun kuanin, mittaw kuahiam lam geiah khut dohin a na tu a;

³⁵It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

³⁶huai min tuh mipi pai ging a ja a, bangchi thu a hitaa chih a donga.

³⁶Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

³⁷Huan amau, Nazaret Jesu a pai ahi chih a hilh ua.

³⁷They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

³⁸Huchiin, aman, Jesu, David Tapa, ka tungah zahngai in, chiin, a kikou a.

³⁸He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

³⁹Huan, a masaten dai dingin a tai ua, himahleh, David Tapa, honhehpih in, chiin, a kinak kou semsem a.

³⁹Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰Huchiin, Jesu a dinga, a kianga honpi dingin thu a pia a;

⁴⁰Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

⁴¹huan, a kiang a hongtun in, Na tungah bangchia ka hih ahia na deih? a chi a, a na donga. Huan, aman, Toupa, muh theih ka ut, a chi a.

⁴¹ “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”

⁴²Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Mu thei ta in, na ginna na dampih ahi, a chi a.Huan, thakhatin a mu thei pahtaa, Pathian phat kawm jelin amah a juita a; huan, mi tengtengin, huai a muh un, Pathian a phat uh.

⁴²Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

⁴³Huan, thakhatin a mu thei pahtaa, Pathian phat kawm jelin amah a juita a; huan, mi tengtengin, huai a muh un, Pathian a phat uh.

⁴³Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
