¹Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

¹Huan, hichi ahia, mipiin Pathian thu a ngaihkhiak ua, amah a boh huthut lai un, amah tuh Gennesaret dil gei ah a dinga.

²He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

²Huan, dil geia long nih om a mua, himahleh nga manmite lah a pawt khia ua, a lente uh a sawp ua.

³He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

³Huchiin, long khat Simon-a pen ah a tuanga, a kiangah luigei akipan neukha tolh lut sak deuh a ngena. Huan, a tu a, long akipanin mipite thu a hilhta.

⁴When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.”

⁴Huan, thugen a tawpin, Simon kiangah, Li thuk lam naih unla, nga man dingin, na lente uh pai un, a chi a.

⁵Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”

⁵Huan, Simonin a kiangah, Heutupa, gimtakin jankhuain ka pang ua, bangmah ka man kei ua, himahleh na thuin lente ka pai nawn ding leh, a chi a, a dawnga.

⁶When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

⁶Huan, a paih uleh nga tampi tak a khuh ua, a lente uh tuh a kek iakkiaka.

⁷They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

⁷Huan, long danga om a lawmte uh amau honghuh dingin a khutvan ua. Huan, a hongpai ua, long nih tum phialphialin a sung dim tuaktuak uh.

⁸But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

⁸Huan, Simon Peterin huai a muhin, Jesu khuk kiangah khupbohin, Toupa, honpai sanin, mikhial ka hi, a chi a.

⁹For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

⁹A nga mat u tuh amah leh a lawmten lamdang a sa mahmah ngal ua;

¹⁰and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”

¹⁰Simon pawlte mah Zebedai Tapa Jakob leh Johanin leng lamdanga sa mahmah sam uh. Huan, Jesun, Simon kiangah, Lau ken, tuban siah mihing na manta ding, a chi a.

¹¹When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

¹¹Huan, a longte uh luigei ah a tolh galkai ua, bangkim pai sanin amah tuh a juita uh.

¹²It happened, while he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

¹²Huan, hichi ahia, khua khata a omlaiin ngai dih, mi khat phak bop a oma, aman Jesu a na mu a, khupbohin Toupa, na ut leh non hihsiangthou thei, a chi a, a ngen ngutngut a.

¹³He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

¹³Huan, aman a sawka, a khoiha, Ka ut, nanasiangthoutain, a chi a. Huan, thakhatin a phak tuh a hongbei pah hi.

¹⁴He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

¹⁴Huan, a kiangah, Kuamah hilh ken, a hihhangin siampu kiangah vakiensak inla, na sianhonna ding Mosi seh bangin lan in, mite theihchetna dingin, a chi a.

¹⁵But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

¹⁵Himahleh, a tanchin thu tuh a thang sansan a; mipi thupitak a thu za nuam leh a natnate uh hihdam utin a hongkikhawm kheukhou ua.

¹⁶But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.

¹⁶Himahleh, amah tuh gamdaiah a tuam pai a, a thum hi.

¹⁷It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.

¹⁷Huan, hichi ahia, huai lain, ni khat tuh, thu a hilh a. Huan, akiangah Pharisaite leh dan siam te tuin a om ua, huaite tuh, Galili leh Judia gam kho teng akipana hongpai ahi ua; huan mi hihdamna dingin Toupa thilhihtheihna a kiangah a om.

¹⁸Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.

¹⁸Huan, ngai dih, lupna toh mijaw khat a honjawng ua; a maa koih dingin jawn lut a tum ua.

¹⁹Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst before Jesus.

¹⁹Huan, mipi jiakin jawn lutna dan a mu theikei ua, in tunga kipan, a lai takah, Jesu ma ah a lupna toh a khai khe suk ua.

²⁰Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

²⁰Huan, a gindan uh a namuh in, a kiang ah, Mihing, na khelhnate ngaihdam a hita, a chi a.

²¹The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

²¹Huan, laigelh mite leh Pharisaiten, Pathian gensia hiai mi kua ahia? Pathian kia louin kuan ahia khelhnate ngaidam thei? chiin a ngaihtuah ua.

²²But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

²²Huchiin, Jesun a ngaihtuah uh a theia, a kiang uah, na lungtang uah bang na ngaihtuah ua?

²³ Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you;’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’

²³Na khelhnate ngaihdam a hita, chih leh, Thou inla, khein paita in, chih, a koipen a gen nuam jaw a?

²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (he said to the paralyzed man), “I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house.”

²⁴Abang abang hitaleh, khovelah Mihing Tapain khelhnate ngaihdam theihna a nei chih na theihna ding un a chi a, (Jaw kiangah) Thou inla, na lupna la inla, na in ah paiin, ka honchi, a chi a.

²⁵Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

²⁵Huchiin, a mit muh un a thou paha, a lupna a la a, Pathian phat kawmkawmin a in ah a paita.

²⁶Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

²⁶Huan, a vek un lamdang a sa mahmah ua, Pathian a phat ua. Tuniin thillamdang pitak i mu hi, a chi ua, a lau mahmah uh.

²⁷After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

²⁷Huan, huaite khitin a pawta, siahpiakna muna tu, siahkhonmi khat a min Levi a mu a; huan, a kiangah, Honjui in, a chi a.

²⁸He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

²⁸Huchiin, bangkim a paisana, a thou a, a juita.

²⁹Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

²⁹Huan, Leviin a in ah Jesu adingin ankuang thupitak a luia; huchiin, siahkhonmi midangte toh mi tampiin amau a umpih chiat ua.

³⁰Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

³⁰Huan, Pharisaite, a laigelhmite utoh a nungjuite tungah a phun ua, Bang dia siahkhonmite leh khialte kianga ne-a dawn na hi ua? a chi ua.

³¹Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

³¹Huan, Jesun, a kiang uah, Mi damtheiten daktor a kiphamoh kei ua, mi damtheilouten a kiphamoh jaw uh.

³² I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

³²Mi diktatte sam dinga hongpai ka hi keia, mi khialte kisik dinga sam din hongpai ka hijaw, chi in a dawng hi.

³³They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

³³Huan, amau a kiangah, Johan nungjuiten an a ngawl jel ua, a thum jel uh: Pharisai nungjuiten leng huchibang mahin a hih jel uh: himahleh, na nungjuiten a ne un a dawn gige uh, a chi ua.

³⁴He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁴Jesun a kiang uah, Mou pimite kianga a pasal ding a om lai siah mou pimite na ngawl sak thei ngei ua hia?

³⁵ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”

³⁵Himahleh apasal ding amau akipana pimang nite a hongtung dinga, huai ni chiangin jaw a ngawl ding uh, a chi a.

³⁶He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

³⁶Huan, a kiang uah gentehna thu leng a gena: Kuamahin puan thak eu khiain puan lui a thuap ngei kei, thuap him taleh, a thakin a kaikek dia, a thak them leh a lui tuh a kituak tuan kei ding.

³⁷ No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.

³⁷Huan, kuamahin uain thak savun uain thawl lui ah a thun ngei kei uh, thunta him le uleng, uain thakin savun thawlte a phukek dia, a bo dia, savun thawlte leng a se ding uh.

³⁸ But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

³⁸Uain thak tuh savun uain thawl thakah a thun zo ding uh ahi.Huan, kuamah, uain lui na dawn khinin leng, a thak a duh pah kei hi; a lui a hoihjaw, a chi ngala, a chi hi.

³⁹ No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

³⁹Huan, kuamah, uain lui na dawn khinin leng, a thak a duh pah kei hi; a lui a hoihjaw, a chi ngala, a chi hi.
