¹Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him literally, “before his face” into every city and place, where he was about to come.

¹Huan, huai khitin Toupan mi dang sawmsagih a sepa, a paina ding kho tengah leh mun tengah, a maah nihnihin a sawla,

²Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

²Huan, a kiang uah, Buh lak ding a tam mahmaha, himahleh a semte a tawm uh, huchiin a buh la dinga sem dingte sawl dingin buh Neipa kiangah ngen un.

³ Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

³Pai un; ngai un nge laka belamnou om bangin ka honsawl ahi.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

⁴Dangka ip khawng, kawljal khawng, khedap khawng tawi kei unla, lampi ah kuamah chibai buk kei un.

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

⁵Huan, in na lutna peuh uah a masapen, Hiai in ah khamuanna tung hen, chi unla.

⁶ If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

⁶Huan, huaiah khamuanna ta a om leh na khamuanna thu uh a tungah a om dinga; a omkei leh na ang uah a hongkik nawn ding.

⁷ Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.

⁷Huai in ngen ah om nilouh unla, a honpiak peuh uh nein dawn un; nasemmi tuh loh mu tak ahi. In tengah banhoh kei un.

⁸ Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

⁸Huan, khua na lutna peuh uah honkipahpih uleh, honlui peuh uh na ne ding ua; huaia damlou omte leng na hihdam ding ua;

⁹ Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

⁹a kiang uah, Pathian gam na kiang nai uah hongtungta, na chi ding uh.

¹⁰ But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,

¹⁰Khua na lutna peuh uah honkipahpih kei uleh a kongzing uah pai khia unla,

¹¹ ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

¹¹Na kho leivui uh ka khepek ua bang leng na tunguah tat siang ung e; himahleh Pathian gam hongnaita chih thei un, na chi ding uh

¹² I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

¹²Ka honhilh ahi, huai ni chiangin huai khuate thuak sangin Sodom kho thuak ding adan a om zo ding,

¹³ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹³Korazin, na tung a gik e; Bethsaida, na tung a gik e; Noumaua thil lamdangpi kihihte Tura leh Sidon khuaa hih hileh, saiip puan silhin, vut laka tuin a kisik khin thamta ding uh.

¹⁴ But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

¹⁴Himahleh thukhenni chiangin nou thuak sangin Tura leh Sidon kho thuak ding a dan a om zo ding.

¹⁵ You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. Hades is the lower realm of the dead, or Hell.

¹⁵Huan, nang Kapernaum, van tana pahtawi na hi dia hia? misi kho tana sawn khiak eive na hih ding.

¹⁶ Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

¹⁶Kuapeuh na thu uh ngai khia, keimah thungaikhia ahi a; kuapeuh nou hodeih lou tuh, kei hondeih lou ahi a; kuapeuh nou honngai lou tuh kei honngai lou ahi a, kuapeuh kei honngai lou tuh, honsawlpa ngai lou ahi, a chi.

¹⁷The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

¹⁷Huan, sawmsagihte tuh kipak takin a hongkik nawn ua, TOUPA, dawite leng na min jiakin ka thuthu un a om uh, a chi a.

¹⁸He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

¹⁸Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Khophia bangin Setan Van akipan a hong kia ka mu.

¹⁹ Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.

¹⁹Ngai un, gulte, aikamte sikdenna thu leh, melma thilhihtheihna tengteng tunga thu neihna ka hon pia ahi; bangmahin a honhihna kei hial ding,

²⁰ Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

²⁰Himahleh, dawite na thuthu ua a omjiak un kipak kei un; vana na min uh gelh ahih jiakin kipak jaw un, a chi a.

²¹In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”

²¹Huan, huailaitakin Jesu tuh Kha Siangthouin a kipak mahmaha, Pa aw, lei leh van Toupa, nang mi pil leh mi bengvakte kiangah hiai thu na ima, naungekte kianga na than jiakin ka honphat ahi; ahi, Pa, huchibang hih nang ngaihin a hoih ahi.

²²Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”

²²Ka Pan bang kim honkem saka, Tapa kua ahia, Pa loungal kuamahin a theikei, Pa leng kua ahia, Tapa leh a kiang ua Tapain a theihsak nopnate kia loungal kuamah in a theikei, a chi a.

²³Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

²³Huan, nungjuite lam a ngaa, a simin, Na thil muhte uh a mu mitte a hampha e:

²⁴ for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”

²⁴Ka honchi ahi, jawlnei tampi leh kumpipa tampiten leng na thil muhte uh muh a kilawp gige ua, himahleh a mu kei uh, bila na jakte uh leng jak a kilawp thei mahmah ua, himahleh a za kei uh, achia.

²⁵Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

²⁵Huan, ngai un, dantheimi kuahiam a dinga, amah zeetna din, Sinsakpa, khantawna hinna neihna dingin bang ka hih ding? A chi a.

²⁶He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”

²⁶Huan aman, a kiangah, Dan laibu ah bang gelh ahia? bang na sim jela ahia? a chi a.

²⁷He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; Deuteronomy 6:5 and your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

²⁷Huan aman, Toupa, na Pathian tuh na lungtang tengtengin, na kha tengtengin, na hatna tengtengin, na lungsim tengtengin na it ding ahi; nangmah na kiit bangin na vengte leng na it ding ahi. chih, achi a, a dawng a.

²⁸He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

²⁸Huan, aman, a kiangah, Na dawng dik ngial e; huchiin hih lechin na hing ding a chi a.

²⁹But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”

²⁹Aman bel kisiamtansak utin, Jesu kiangah, A hihleh, ka innveng kua ahia? a chi a.

³⁰Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

³⁰Jesun a dawnga, Kuahiam Jerusalem khua akipanin Jeriko khuaah a hoh suk deka, suam hatte a tuak zenzena, huaiten a puansilh a phel sak vek ua, a vo ek ua, si dekdekin a pai santa uh.

³¹ By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³¹Huan, siampu kuahiam huai lampi ah a vapai suk zenzena, a muh takin lampi sik lehlam ah a pel maimaha.

³² In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

³²Huan, huchibang mahin Levi chi mi khat leng huai mun a hongtunga, a muh takin lampi sik lehlam ah a pel maimaha.

³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

³³Ahihhangin, Samari gama mi kuahiam a zin pailai a omna a hongtunga, a muh takin a hehpih mahmaha, a kiangah a vahoha,

³⁴ came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁴a liamnate thau leh uain a buaka, a tuama, amah gan tungah a tuang saka, khualbuk ah a paipiha, a kemta.

³⁵ On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’

³⁵Huan, a jingin makhai nih a suahkhiaa, khualbuk kempa kiangah a piaa, Amah na kem inlan, hiai ban a na zat teng, ka hongkik nawn chiangin ka hondin ding, a chi a.

³⁶ Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”

³⁶Huai mi thumte lakah, suamhatte tuakpa adin, inveng hipen kua hiin na gingtaa? a chi a.

³⁷He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

³⁷Huan, aman, a hehpihpa, a chi a. Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Nang leng huai bangmahin vahih in, a chi a.

³⁸It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

³⁸Huan, a zin kawm un khua khat ah a luta; huan, numei khat a min Marthain a na zintun a.

³⁹She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

³⁹Huai nun sanggam numei khat a neia a, a min Mari ahi, huai minu tuh Toupa khe bulah a tu a, a thu a ngaikhia a.

⁴⁰But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”

⁴⁰Marthain bel na mah semin a buai mahmah a; huchiin a kiangah, a hongpaia, Toupa, ka sanggamnun kei kia na sem dinga honkhiat khawksa lou na hi maw? Honhuh dingin chi dih ve, a chi a.

⁴¹Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

⁴¹Huan, Toupan, Martha, Martha, thil tampi na ngaihtuah a, buai nei ve; thil khat kia a kul ahi;Mariin tan hoih a tel a, huai tuh lak sak ding ahi kei, a chi a, a dawng a.

⁴² but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

⁴²Mariin tan hoih a tel a, huai tuh lak sak ding ahi kei, a chi a, a dawng a.
