¹Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first, that he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

¹Huan, hichi ahi a, Khawlni khatin buh lei khawngah a pai suaka, a nungjuiten buh vuite a khiak ua, a khutpek un a nuai siang ua, a ne ua.

²But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

²Huan, Pharisai kuate hiamin, Bangdia Khawlnia hih sianglou hih na hi ua? a chi ua.

³Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

³Huan, Jesun a dawnga, David a gilkial laia a lawmte toh a thil hih uh huai bangte leng na sim kei ua hia?

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”

⁴Huchia Pathian ina a luta, siampute loungalin a nek siang louh tanghou koih a laka, a lawmte kianga a piak sam thu, a chi a.

⁵He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

⁵Huan, amahmahin, a kiang uah, Mihing Tapa jaw Khawlni Toupa ahi, a chi hi.

⁶It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

⁶Huan, hichi ahi a, Khawlni dangin kikhopna in ah a luta, thu a hilha; huan, huai ah mi khat khut taklam jaw a na oma.

⁷The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

⁷Huan, laigelhmite leh Pharisaiten a hekna ding a muh theihna ding un, Khawlniin hihdam dingin a kisa hia kisa lou a simet ua.

⁸But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up, and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.

⁸Himahleh, aman, a lungsim uh a theia, khutjaw kiang ah, Thou inla, a laiah ding khia in, a chi a. Huan a thou a, a ding khetaa.

⁹Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”

⁹Huan, Jesun a kiang uah, Khawlniin hihhoih a sianga, hih siat? hotdam a sianga, hihlup? ka hondong ahi, a chi a.

¹⁰He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

¹⁰Huan, a vek un a en velvela, a kiangah, Na khut zan khia in, a chi a. Huan, a zan khiaa, a khut tuh a damta.

¹¹But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

¹¹Huchiin a heh lo mahmah ua, Jesu tunga hihdingdan a kihouta uh.

¹²It happened in these days, that he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹²Huan, hichi ahi a, huailaiin, a pawta, thum dingin tang ah a kuana, Pathian kiangah jan khuain a thum a.

¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹³Huan, khovak takin a nungjuite a sama; a lak uah nih a tela, a min uh leng sawltak a sa hi:

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁴Huaite tuh Simon Peter a chih leh a unaupa Andru, Jakob leh Johan, Philip leh Bartholomai,

¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

¹⁵Matthai leh Thoma, Alphai tapa Jakob,

¹⁶Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

¹⁶Simon, Zelot kichi leh Jakob tapa Juda leh a mansakpa Juda Iskariot ahi uh.

¹⁷He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

¹⁷Huan, amau toh a pai khia a, mun jangah a dinga, a nungjuite mipite toh, Judia gam tengteng akipan leh, Jerusalem khua akipan leh, Tura leh Sidon kho lama tuipi gei akipan mipi tampitak a thu ngai nuam leh a damlouhnate uh hihdam utin a hongpai ua;

¹⁸as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

¹⁸Huchiin, dawi nin bawlgawpte leng damsakin omta uh.

¹⁹All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

¹⁹Huan, a kianga kipan thilhihtheihna pawtkhiaa, mi chih a hidam jel jiakin mipi tengtengin amah khoih a tum ua.

²⁰He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.

²⁰Huan, a dak khia a, a nungjuite enin a gena: Nou gentheite aw, na hampha uhi; Pathian gam noua ahi ngala.

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

²¹Nou tua gilkialte aw, na hampha uhi, tai ding na hi ngal ua. Nou tua kapte aw, na hampha uhi, nui ding na hi ngal ua.

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

²²Mihing Tapa jiaka miten a honhuat ua, honpampaih ua, hontai ua, na min uh a hoih kei chia a honpaih mang chiang un, na hampha ding uh.

²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

²³Huai niin kipak unla, nuamin tawm un, ngai un, van ah na kipahman uh a om kikeih ngal a; huchi bangmahin a pipute un jawlneite tungah a hih uhi.

²⁴ “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

²⁴A hihhangin, nou mi haute aw, na tung uh a gik e; na khamuanna uh na mu khinta ngal ua:

²⁵ Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

²⁵Nou tua vahte aw, na tung uh a gik e; na gil uh hongkial ding ahi ngal a. Nou tua nuite aw; na tung uh a gik e; lungkhama kap ding na hi ngal ua;

²⁶ Woe, TR adds “to you” when TR adds “all” men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

²⁶Mi tengtengin a honphat chiang un na tung uh a gik ding hi; huchimahbangin a pipute un jawlnei takloute tungah a hih uhi.

²⁷ “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

²⁷Ka thu ngaikhete aw, konhilh ahi, Na melmate uh it unla, a honhote a hoihna ding uh hih un,

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

²⁸Hamsia honlohte vualjawl unla, a honsimmohte thum sak un.

²⁹ To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.

²⁹Biang langkhata honbengpa tuh a lehlam leng dohin; huan, na puan honlaksakpa kiangah na puannak leng it ken.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

³⁰A honngen peuh kiangah pia un; huan, na van honlaksakpa kiangah ngen nawn ken.

³¹ “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

³¹Huan, min na tung ua a hih uh na deih ding bang jel un mi tungah leng hih sam un.

³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

³²Huan, a honitte kia na it un, pahtak bang na loh ding ua? mikhialten leng amau itte a it sam ve ua oi.

³³ If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

³³Huan, na tung ua hoihte tung kiaa na hoih un, pahtak bang na loh ding ua? mikhialten leng huchibangmahin a hih jel ve ua oi.

³⁴ If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

³⁴Huan, muh nawn lametnate kiang kiaa thil na leitawi sak un, pahtak bang na loh ding ua? mikhialten leng a ngeingei mu nawn dingin mikhialte kiangah a leitawisak sam ngal ua.

³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

³⁵A hihhangin na melmate uh it unla, a hoihna ding un hih unla, leitawi sak un, lunglel het lou in; huchiin na kipah man uh a tam dia, Tungnungpen tate na hi ding uh; aman mi kipahnadantheiloute leh migiloute a hehpih naknak hi.

³⁶ Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

³⁶Na Pa un mi a hehpih bangin mi hehpih sam un.

³⁷ Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

³⁸ “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. literally, into your bosom. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”

³⁹He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?

³⁹Huan, a kiang uah, gentehnain a gen a, Mittawin mittaw mah a pi thei diam? a nih un kokhuk ah a ke khawm kei ding ua hia?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴¹ Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴¹Huan, bangdia, na mita singtum om limsak loua, na unau mita ninneng neuchik om mu na hia?

⁴² Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

⁴²Nangmah mita singtum om mu lou piin, na unau kianga, Unau, na mita ninneng neuchik om honla khesak ve, bangchia chi thei na hia? Mi lepchiah: na mit apat singtum la khe masa in, huchiin na unau mita ninneng neuchik lak khiak ding tuh chiantakin na mu thei ding.

⁴³ For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

⁴³Sing hoih himhim gah siaa gah a om ngei kei; sing sia lah gah hoiha gah a om ngei sam kei.

⁴⁴ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.

⁴⁴Sing chih amau gah chiatah a kithei hi. Min khau lingnei kungah theipi a lou ngei kei uh, lingnok lakah grep gah a loungei sam kei uh.

⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

⁴⁵Mi hoihin a lungtang gou bawm hoih akipan thil hoihte a honla khe jela; mi gilouin a lungtang gou bawm sia akipan thil hoihloute a honla khe jel hi; a lungtanga dim val tuh a kamin a gen jel ngala.

⁴⁶ “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

⁴⁶Huan, nou bang dinga, ka gente hih loupi a, Toupa, Toupa, honchi nahi ua?

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁷Mi chih ka kianga honga, ka thu jaa mang peuhmah kua bang ahi ua, ka honen sak ding:

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁸In lammi, thukpia tou a, suangpi tou a, suangpi tunga suangphum lemmi bang ahi uh; huan, tui a hongkhanin, tui khauhin huai in tuha khoh a, a hihling theikeia, hoihtaka lam a hih jiakin.A hihhangin, jaa mang lou tuh, suangphum lou a, leitung maimaha in lammi ahi; huan, tui khauhin huai tuh a khoh a, a chim paha; huai in siatna tuh thupi tak ahi, a chi a.

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

⁴⁹A hihhangin, jaa mang lou tuh, suangphum lou a, leitung maimaha in lammi ahi; huan, tui khauhin huai tuh a khoh a, a chim paha; huai in siatna tuh thupi tak ahi, a chi a.
