³The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

³Huan, a tawpin a gil a hongkialta a. Huan, diabolin a kiangah, Pathian Tapa na hih leh hiai suang tanghou suak dingin thupia in, a chi a.

⁴Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’” Deuteronomy 8:3

⁴Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Mihing tanghou kiain a hing kei ding, chih gelh ahi, a chi a, a dawng a.

⁵The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁵Huan, a pi tou a, mit phiat kallouin khovel gam tengteng a ensaka.

⁶The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁶Huan, a kiangah, Hiai tengteng tunga thuneihna leh a thupina ka honpe ding; ka kianga piak a hita ngala, ka ut peuh kiangah leng ka pe jel a.

⁷If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁷Huchiin, honbia inla, a vekin nanga ahi ding, a chi a.

⁸Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’” Deuteronomy 6:13

⁸Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Toupa na Pathian na biak dinga amah kia na na sep ding ahi, chih gelh ahi, a chi a, a dawng a.

⁹He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

⁹Huan, diabolin Jerusalem khua ah a pi a, Pathian biakin tungzum ah a koiha, huan, a kiangah, Pathian Tapa na hih leh, hiai akipanin ke khe sukin;

¹¹and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’” Psalm 91:11-12

¹¹chih leh, a khut un hondom ding ua, huchilou injaw na khein suang na sui khading, chih gelh ahi ngala, a chi a.

¹²Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” Deuteronomy 6:16

¹²Huan, Jesun a kiangah, Toupa na Pathian zeet ken, chih ahi, chiin a dawnga.

¹³When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹³Huan, diabolin a khemna ding tenga a khem khitin a lemtan hun chiang dingin a paisanta hi.

¹⁴Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

¹⁴Huan, Jesu tuh Kha thilhihtheihnain Galili gamah a pai nawnta a; huan, a tanchin huai kim gam tengah a thangta.

¹⁵He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁵Huan, a kikhopna in uah thu a hilh jela, mi tengteng phatin a om hi.

¹⁶He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁶Huan, a khanletna khua Nazaret a hongtunga; huan Khawlnia a hihdan ngeina bangin kikhopna in ah a luta; sim dingin a dinga.

¹⁷The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁷Huan, jawlnei Isai laibu a kiangah a pia ua. Huan, laibu jial tuh a phel a, hiai thu kigelhna lai tak a sim a,

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, NU omits “to heal the brokenhearted” to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁸Liangvaite kiangah Tanchin Hoih hilh dinga non seh jiakin Toupa Kha tuh ka tungah a om; Aman a honsawl, salte kiangah pawtna thu leh, mittote kianga mit vak neih nawnna thu gen ding, simmoh thuakte pawt sakna ding.

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Isaiah 61:1-2

¹⁹Toupa lungkim kum thu gen dingin, chih.

²⁰He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²⁰Huan, laibu tuh a jiala, nasepsakpa a pe nawna, a tuta a. Huan, kikhopna ina mi tengteng mit tuh a tungah a tu a.

²¹He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²¹Huan, a kiang uah, Hiai Laisiangthou thu tuniin na jak un a tangtungta, chiin a genpan a.

²²All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

²²Huan, a vek un amah a phat ua, a kam suak hehpihna thute lamdang a sa mahmah uh. Huan, Hiai Joseph tapa ahi ka hia? a chi uh.

²³He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

²³Huan, aman a kiang uah, Nou hiai gentehna thu, Daktor, nang leh nang kihihdamin, Kapernaum khuaa na thilhih ka najak peuh uh, hiai ah nangmah kholam ah leng hih in, chiin, honchi khongkhong ding jaw neive ua, a chi a.

²⁴He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

²⁴Huan, amahmahin, Chihtaktakin, ka honhilh ahi, Jawlnei kuamah amah kholamah min a kipahpih ngei kei.

²⁵ But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

²⁵Huchiin, diktakin ka honchi ahi, Elija dam laia, kum thum leh kha guk van a bina, khovela kial nakpitaka a hongtunin, Israel gamah meithai tampi a om ua;

²⁶ Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁶Himahleh a lak ua kuamah kiangah Elija sawl ahi kei, Sidon gam lama Sarepta khuaa numei khat meithai kiangah kia sawl a hijaw.

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

²⁷Huan, jawlnei Elisa dam laiin leng Israel gamah phak tampi a om ua; himahleh a lak uah kuamah hihsiangthouin a om kei, Naaman, Suria mi kia hihsiangthouin a om zota ve, a chi a.

²⁸They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

²⁸Huan, kikhopna ina mi tengtengin, huai thute a jak tak un, a heh mahmah ua,

²⁹They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

²⁹a ding suausuau ua, khua akipanin a sawn khia ua, paih khiak dingin a kho omna kawlkhou uah a pita ua.

³⁰But he, passing through their midst, went his way.

³⁰Himahleh, amah tuh a kikal uah a pai suaka, a paimangta.

³¹He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³¹Huan, Galili gama khua khat, Kapernaum ah vahoh suk a. Huan, Khawlniin mite thu a hilha;

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³²huan, thunei taka a gen jiakin a thu hilh tuh lamdang a sa mahmah uh.

³³In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³³Huan, kikhopnain ah dawi nin kha pai mi khat a na om a;

³⁴saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁴amah tuh aw ngaihtakin a kikoua, Ei! Nazaret Jesu, kou leh nang bang ahia i kizolhna om? honhihmangthang dingin na hong maw? Nang kon thei, Pathian Mi Siangthou na hi, a chi a.

³⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁵Huan, Jesun a taia, Dai inla, a sung akipan hongpawt in, a chi a. Huan, dawiin a laiah a hihpuk phota, hihna louin a sunga kipan a hongpawtta a.

³⁶Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁶Huan, a vek un lamdang a sa mahmah ua, Hiai bang thu ahia le? Thu neitak leh thilhihthei takin dawi ninte thu a pia a, a pawt uh, chiin, a kihou ua.

³⁷News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁷Huan, huai kim gam kho tengah a tanchin a thangta.

³⁸He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

³⁸Huan, a thou a, kikhopna in akipan a pawta, Simon in ah a lut a. Huan, Simon ji nu nakpitakin a khua a nasik a, huchiin amah adingin a nachial sak ua.

³⁹He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

³⁹Huan, a kiangah a dinga, khosik tuh a tai a, a daita hi; huan, a thou pahta a, a na uh a sep sakta.

⁴⁰When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

⁴⁰Huan, ni tum kuanin nat tuamtuam a na, damlou nei peuhmahin a kiangah a honpi ua; huan, a vek un a tunguah a khut a koih chiata, a nahihdam jel.

⁴¹Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

⁴¹Huan, dawite leng, Pathian Tapa na hi, chia kikouin, mi tampi sunga kipanin hongpawt uh. Huan, amau a tai a, Kris tuh ahi chih a theih jiak un a pau uh a phal kei hi.

⁴²When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

⁴²Huan, khovak takin a pawta, kuamah omlouhna mun ah a hoha; huan mipiten a zong ua, a kiangah a hong ua, amau a pai san louhna dingin let a tum ua.

⁴³But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”

⁴³Himahleh, aman, a kiang uah, Kho dang khawngah leng Pathian gam tanchin Hoih ka hilh ding ahi,huai dinga sawl ka hi ngala, a chi a; huchiin, Galili gama kikhopna in khawngah thu a hilhta.

⁴⁴He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

⁴⁴huai dinga sawl ka hi ngala, a chi a; huchiin, Galili gama kikhopna in khawngah thu a hilhta.
