¹Huan, Jesun sawm leh nihte a sam khawma, dawi tengteng tunga thilhihtheihna leh thuneihna leh natnate hihdam theihna a pia a.

¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²Huchiin, Pathian gam thugen ding leh dam loute hihdam dingin a sawlkhetaa.

²He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³Huan, a kiang uah, Zinna adingin chiang khun hiam, kawljal hiam, tanghou hiam, dangka hiam, bangmah keng kei un; puannak nih leng neikei un.

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴Huan, na tunna in peuh uah tung kinken jel un, huai in akipanin paikhia un.

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵Huan, a honkipahpih lou peuhmah tuh huai khua akipan na paikhiak chiang un amau mohpaihna dingin na khepek ua leivui tatkhia unla, a chi a.

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶Huchiin, a kuanta ua, khua a tawn vialvial ua. Gam chihah Tanchiin Hoih a hilh ua, mi a hihdam jel uh.

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁷Huan, kumpipa Herodin a thilhih tengteng uh a nazataa; khenkhatin Johan hing nawnta ei ve a chi ua, khenkhatin,

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸Elija hongkilakta ei ve a chi ua, khenkhatin, Nidang laia jawlnei kuahiam thou nawnta ei ve, a chih jiak un, a lungjingtaa.

⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹Huan, Herodin, Johan a lu ka tanta a; himahleh hichi lawmlawma a thu ka jakjak kua ahia? a chi a. Huan, amah tuh muh a tumta hi.

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰Huan, sawltakte a hongkik nawn un, a kiangah a thilhihte uh a hilh ua. Huan, aman amau piin khopi Bethsaida kichi ah a pai tuamta a.

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹Himahleh mipin a thei ua, a jui jel uh; huan, aman amau a nakipahpiha, Pathian gam thu a hilha, hihdam kiphamoh peuhmah a hihdama.

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹²Huan, nitaklam a honghi dektaa; huan, sawm leh nihte a hongpai ua, a kiangah, khuate leh a kim gam khawnga giahna leh annektuidawn zong dingin mipite paisak tanla; tua, gamkeu muna om hi ngal hang a, a chi ua.

¹²The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³Aman bel a kiang uah, Nou nek ding pia un, a chi a. Huan, amau, Mi hiai zahzah adia nek ding I valei sak keileh, tanghou phel nga leh nga nih kia loungal bangmah I neikei uh, a chi ua.

¹³But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴Piching ngen leng sang nga hiam phial ahi ngal ua. Huan, a nungjuite kiangah, A pawlpawlin tu sak un, sawm nga khawng jelin, a chi a.

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵Huchiin a hih ua, a tu sak vekta ua.

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶Huan, tanghou phel nga leh ngasa nih tuh a laa, van lam enin vual a jawla a balkhama, mipi maa lui dingin a nungjuite kiang ah a piaa.

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷Huan, a ne ua, a vah vekta ua, huan, a khamval nengte uh bawm sawm leh nih a luak dim uh.

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸Huan, hi chi ahi a, Jesu amah kiaa a thum lain a nungjuite a kiangah a om ua; a kiang uah, Mipiten kua ka hi a honchi ua? chiin a donga.

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹Huan, amau, Baptispa Johan ahi, honchi uh; himahleh khenkhatin, Nidang laia jawlnei kuahiam a thou nawnta ahi, a honchi uh, chiin, a dawng ua.

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

²⁰Huan, aman a kiang uah, Ahihleh, nou kua ka hi non chi ua? a chi a. Peterin, Pathian kris mah, chiin, a dawnga.

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹Huan, huai thu kuamah hilh louh ding chi bikbekin, thu a piaa:

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²²Mihing Tapain thil tampi a thuak dia, upate, siampu liante, laigelhmite deih louhin a om dia, thahin a om dia, ni thum niin kaihthohin a om ding ahi, a chi a.

²²saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³Huan, amahmahin, mi tengteng kiangah, kuapeuhin honzuih a ut leh, amah kingaihsak louin, niteng a kros puin honjui hen.

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

²⁴Kuapeuh a hin humbit utin a tan ding; kuapeuh keimah jiaka a hin tanin, huai mi mahin a humbit ding.

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁵Min khovel a pumin nei henla, amah kimangsak hiam, ahihkeileh kimanloh leh, amah adingin bang a phatuam dia?

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶Kuapeuh keimah leh ka thu zahpih mi jaw Mihing Tapain, amah thupina toh, a Pa thupina toh, a angel siangthoute thupina toh a hongpai chiangin a honzahpih ding.

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷Diktakin ka honhilh ahi, Hiaia dingte akhen, Pathian gam a muh masiah uh sihna chiam lou hial ding a om uh, a chi a.

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God.”

²⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, huai thugen nung ni giat hiam khawngin, Jesun Peter, Johan leh Jakob a pi a, thum dingin tangah a hohtou a.

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹Huan, a thum laiin a mel omdan a honglamdanga, a puansilhte mi leng theiin a hongngoutaa.

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰Huan, ngai in, mi nih amah toh a kihou ua, huai mite tuh Mosi leh Elija ahi uh.

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹Thupinaa kithuamin a kilak ua, Jerusalem khuaa sihna a hihkim ding thu a gen uh.

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²Peter leh a lawmte bel a ihmut uh a suaka, himahleh a hak teitei ua a thupina leh a kianga mi nih ding a mu uh.

³²Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³Huan, huai miten Jesu a paisan dek lai un, Peterin, Jesu kiangah, Heutupa, ei din hiaia om hoih veh, aidakbuk thum i khoh dia, nang din khat, Mosi din khat, Elija din khat, a chi a-a thugen lengthei louin.

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴Huan huai thute a gen laiin mei a hongkaia, amau tuh a liahta; mei laka a lut laiun a lau ua.

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵Huan mei akipan aw a hongsuaka, Hiai ka Tapa, ka tel ahi, amah thu ngai un, a chi a.

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶Huan aw a daih takin Jesu amah kiain a muta uh. Huan, a dai dide ua, huailai khawngin a thil muh uh kuamah bangmah a hilh kei uh.

³⁶When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷Huan, hichi ahi a, a jingin tang akipana a paisuk nung un, mipi thupi takin amah a nadawn ua.

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

³⁸Huan, ngaiin, mipi lakah mi khat a kikoua, Sinsakpa, ka tapa en dingin ka honngen ahi, ka tapa neihsun ahi ngala.

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹Ngai in, dawiin a mana, a kikou khe guih jela; huchiin, a chilphuan bang ke hialin a gimbawla, nakpitaka hihsidupin a pai san phet jela.

³⁹Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰Huan na nungjuite kiangah delhkhe dingin ka ngena, a hih theikei uh, a chi a.

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹Huan, Jesun, Khangthak ginna neilou leh lampialte aw, bangtan ahia ka honthuak theih ding? Na tapa tuh hiaiah honpi in, a chi a, a dawng a.

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴²Huan, a honglaiin dawiin a hihpuk eka, nakpitakin a gimbawltaa, himahleh, Jesun dawi nin tuh a taia, naupang tuh a hihdama, a pa kiangah a paisak nawnta.

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³Huan, mi tengtengin Pathian thupidan lamdang a sa mahmah uh. Huchiin mi tengtengin a thilhih tengteng lamdang a sak lai un, Jesun a nungjuite kiangah,

⁴³They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴Hiai thute na bil uah lut heh. Mihing Tapa mihingte khuta mat saka om ding ahi ngala, a chi a

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵Himahleh, a thugen tuh a theisiam kei uh, a theihtheih louhna ding un a kisel ahi, huai thugen tanchin tuh amah a dong ngam ngal kei ua.

⁴⁵But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶Huan, a lak uah kua a thupipen dia? Chih thuin a nakisel ua.

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷Huchiin, Jesun a lungtang ua a ngaihtuah uh a theia, naupang neu khat a kaia, a sik ah a omsaka, a kiang uah,

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸Kuapeuh ka min jiaka hiai naupang neu kipahpih tuh keimah honkipahpih ahi ding uh; na vek ua laka neupen ahi, a thupipen, a chi a.

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹Huan, Johanin, Heutupa, kuahiam na mina dawite delkhia ka mu ua, kon zuihna ua a pan sam louh jiakin ka khamta ve ua, a chi a, dawnga.

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰Jesun bel a kiang ah, Kham nawn kei un, kuapeuh nou hondal loutuh nou lama pang ahi uh, a chi a.

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹Huan, hichi ahi a, amah pi touh a hun dingin, Jerusalem khuaa hoh a tum chiltela, a maah mi a matai saka;

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²Huan, a pai ua, amah adia nakimansak dingin Samari mite kho khatah a lut ua.

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³Huan, a mai tuh Jerusalem kho lam naiha a lat jiakin amah a nakipahpih kei uh.

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵⁴Huchiin a nungjui Jakob leh Johanin huai a theih takun, Toupa, amaute kangmang dingin van akipan mei sam khe leng hoih na sa hia? a chi ua.

⁵⁴When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵Amah tuh a kiheia, amau a taitaa.

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶Huan, kho dangah a paita uh.

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷Huan, lampia a pai lai un, kuahiamin a kiangah, Na paina peuhah kon jui ding, a chi a.

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Sehalten kua a nei ua, tungleng vasaten leng bu a nei uh, ahihhangin Mihing Tapain jaw a lu ngakna ding mun a neikei, a chi a.

⁵⁸Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹Huan, Jesun mi dang kiangah, Honjui in, a chi a. Himahleh aman, Toupa, ka pa honvui sak phot in, a chi a.

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰Jesun tuh a kiangah, Misiin a misi uh vui uheh; nang Pathian gam thu vahilh jak jaw in, a chi a.

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

⁶¹Huan, mi dangin leng, Toupa, kon jui ding, a hihhangin ka ina mite kamphain honkha sak photin, a chi a.Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Kuapeuh leilehna lena, nunglam nga tuh, Pathian gam mi hitak ahi kei, a chi.

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶²Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Kuapeuh leilehna lena, nunglam nga tuh, Pathian gam mi hitak ahi kei, a chi.

⁶²But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
