1It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
1Huan, hichi ahi a, Jesu koilai mun hiamah a thum a, a thum khitin a nungzui mi khatin a kiangah, Toupa, thumdan Johanin a nungjuite a hilh bangin honhilh sam ve, a chi a.
2He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
2Huan, aman a kiang uah, Na thum chiang un hichi bangin na chi ding uh, achia: Ka Pa uh, vana om, na min kizahtak hen, Na gam hongtung hen.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
3Ni tengin ka nek khop uh an honpia in.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
4Ka khelhte uh hongaidam in, kou leng kuapeuh bat honneite tengteng ka ngaidam uhi; huan, khemna ah honpilut ken.
5He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
5Huan, amahmahin, akiang uah, Na lak ua kua ahi hiamin lawm nei henla, jan laiin a kianga hohin, Lawm, tanghou phel thum honleitawi sak ve;
6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
6ka lawm zinin a hontawna, a maa lui ding bangmah ka nei ngak kei a, chi henla;
7 and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
7in sung a pan tuh, Hon hihbuai ken; tun jaw kong khak ahi, ka tate leng ka kiangah lupnaah a ihmuta uh; thouin ka hongpe theikei, chiin, dawng leh, ka honhilh ahi,
8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
8A lawm a hih jiakin thouin a vape kei na a, a nget ngutngut jiakin thouin a deihzahzah a vape ding.
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
9Huchiin, ka honhilh ahi, Ngen un, huan, piakin na om ding uh; zong un, huan na mu ding uh; kiu un, huan, honsakin na om ding uh.
10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
10Kuapeuh a ngenin a mu nak a, kuapeuh a zongin a mu nak a, kuapeuh a kiu tuh honsakin a om ding.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
11Nou laka pa pen, a tain tanghou phel ngen leh, kuan ahia suang pe ding? A hihleh, nga ngen leh, kuan ahia nga sika gul pe ding?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
12A hihleh, aktui ngen leh, aikam a pe dia hia?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
13Huchiin, nou migilouin bawn noumau tate thil hoih piakna dan na theih uleh, na Pa uh vana omin a ngente Kha Siangthou pe natel in chia: a chi a.
14He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
14Huan, Jesun dawi pau theilou khat a delh khia a. Huan, hichi ahi a, dawi tuh a pawt takin pautheilou tuh a hongpauta; huchiin mipiin lamdang a sa mahmah uh.
15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
15Himahleh, a khenin, Dawi lal Beelzibul jiakin eive dawite a delh khiak jel, a chi ua.
16Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
16Huan, a khenin, amah zeetna dingin, vana kipan chiamtehna a ngen ua.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
17Aman tuh a ngaituah uh ana thei a, a kiang uah, Koi gam leng amah kidou peuh a mangthang nak; inkuan khat leng amah kidou tuh a mangthang nak.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18Setan leng amah a kidou leh, a gam bangchin a dingkhe dia? -Beelzibul jiakin dawite a delh khia, non chi ngal ua.
19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
19Huan, kei Beelzibul jiaka dawite delh khia ka na hih leh, na tate un kua jiakin ahia a na delh khiak jel uh? Huaijiakin amau noute honvaihawmsak dingte ahi ding uh.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
20A hihhangin, kei Pathian khut zung jiaka dawite delh khe jel ka hih leh, Pathian gam na kiang uah hongtung khin ahi vele.
21 “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
21Mi hatin hiamzat kim tawia a in a ven sung teng, a sum bit takin a om gige a;
22 But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
22himahleh, a sanga hatjawin a honsuala, a zoh chiangin, a muan a galvan kim tuh a sut a, sum a lak sak tuh a hawmjak jel hi.
23 “He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
23Kuapeuh ka lama panglou tuh, hondou ahi a, kuapeuh honlak khawm pih louin a hihjak ahi.
24 The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
24Dawi nin mi sung akipana apawtin, khawlna zongin tui om louhna mun peuhah a vak vak a; huan, khawlna himhim a mu kei a, ka pawtna in ah ka kik nawn mai ding, a chi a.
25 When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
25Huan, a va tunin phiat sianga zephoihin a mu a.
26 Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
26Huai takin a vapaia, amah sanga gilou jaw dawi dang sagih a honpi a, huaiah a lut ua, a om gige uh; huai mihing tuh a omdan nanung a masa sangin a honghoih keizo tham hi, a chi a.
27It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
27Huan, hichi ahi a, huai thute a genlaiin, mipi lakah numei khat a kikou khia a, a kiangah, Nang honpai gil a hampha e, na nawi tep toh, a chi a.
28But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
28Aman bel, A hi, himahleh Pathian thu jaa juite mi hampha ahi jaw uh a chi a.
29When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
29Huan, mipite a kiangah hongkikhop lai un, Jesun, Tulai khangthakte jaw khangthak gilou ahi uh; chiamtehna a zong ua; himahleh Jona chiamtehna chih louh a kiang uah chiamtehna himhim piak ahi kei ding.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
30Jona tuh Ninevi khuaa mite adia chiamtehna a na hih bangin, Mihing Tapa leng tulai khangthakte din chiamtehna a honghi ding.
31 The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
31Thukhenni chiangin, Simlam kumpinu tulai khangthakte kiangah a ding sam dia, siamlouh a tang sak ding; Solomon pilna ngaikhe dingin bawn kawl mong a kipan a hong ngala; ngai un, Solomon sanga thupi jaw hiai ah a om ahi.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
32Thukhenni chiangin, Ninevi khuaa mite tulai khangthakte kiangah a ding sam ding ua, siamlouh a tang sak ding uh, Jona thu hilh jiakin a kisik ngal ua; ngai un, Jona sanga thupijaw hiai ah a om ahi.
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
33Kuamahin khawnvak a det un in nuai tawngah a koih ngei kei uh, loh nuaiah a koih ngei sam kei uh, alut miten a vak a muh theihna ding uah a koihna ah a koih jel uh.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
34Na sapum khawnvak tuh na mit ahi; na mit a chim leh na sapum leng a vekin a vak suak nak hi; a chim keileh bel na sapum leng a mial vek nak hi.
35 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
35Huchiin, na sunga vak om tuh mial a nahi kha ding e pilvangin.
36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
36Huchiin, na sapum koi laipeuh mial lou a a veka a vak khiak leh, khawnvak vak petpetin a tatvak bangin a vak khe vek ding, a chi a.
37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
37Huan, a gen laiin Pharisai khatin amah a kianga an ne dingin achiala; huchiin, a luta an a ne a.
38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
38Huan, Pharisaiin a an um a muhin, an nek maa a sil louh tuh lamdang a sa mahmah a.
39The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
39Huan, Toupan, akiangah, Nou Pharisaiten nou leh kuang po lam na silsiang ngeitak ua; na sung lam ulah lepgukna leh gilouin a dim ngala.
40 You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
40Mi haite aw, polam bawlpan sung lam leng a bawl ka hia?
41 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
41Himahleh, a sunga thil om tuh mi genthei kianga piak dingin zang un; huchiin, ngai un, nou adin bangkim siangthou khin ahi.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
42Nou Pharisaite aw, na tung uh a gik e: pudina, pardi leh anteh-louhing teng sawma khat na pia ua, diktatna leh Pathian itna na limsak ngal kei ua; himahleh huaite eive na hih ding uh, a dangte hih lou tuan lou in.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
43Nou Pharisaite aw, na tung uh a gik e: kikhopna in ah tutphah hoihpente leh dawl muna chibai bukte na ngaisang uh.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
44Na tung uh a gik hi: Han chih kithei lou, a tunga theiloua mi apai jelna bang uh, na hi uh, a chi a.
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
45Huan, dantheimi khatin, a kiangah, Sinsakpa, hiai thu na gen tuh kou leng hontai na hi, a chi a, a dawng a.
46He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
46Huan, aman, Dantheimite aw, nou leng na tung uh a gik: Puakgik, puak haksapipi mite na suan ua, nou lah tua puakgikte na khut zung khat un leng na khoih ngei ngal kei ua.
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
47Na tung uh a gik: Jawlneite han in khawng na lam ua, na pipute uh thah ahi ngal ua.
48 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
48Huchiin na pipute uh thilhihte na theihpih un na hoihsakpih uh ahi; amau a that ua, nou a han inte uh na lam ngal ua.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
49Huaijiakin, Pathian pilna inleng, A kiang uah jawlneite leh sawltakte ka sawl dia, a khen a that ding ua, a khen a sawi ding uh;
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
50jawlnei tengteng sisan, leilung piantung akipan a suah, tulai khangthakte tungah phu a lak theih ding a chih;
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
51Abel sisan suah akipan, Zakaria, maitam leh biakin kikala si sisan suah tannin; ahi, ka honhilh ahi, tulai khangthakte tungah phu a akila ding.
52 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
52Nou dantheite aw, na tung uh a gik e: Pilna tabi na paimang pih ua; nou lah na lut ngal kei ua, mi lut ding lah na dal ngal ua, a chi a.
53As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;
53Huan, huaia kipan apawtin, laigelhmite leh Pharisaiten amah a tawng ua, thu chiteng gen sak teitei tumin leh,a pau khelh zenzena mat tumin a tang gige uh.
54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
54a pau khelh zenzena mat tumin a tang gige uh.
