1It happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
1Huan, hichi ahia, Jesun a nungjui sawm leh nihte thu a piak zoh phetin huai a kipanin a khua khawng ua hilh ding leh thugen dingin a paita a.
2Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
2Huan, Johanin, suangkulh sunga Kris thilhihte a najakin a nungjuite tuh sawlin a kiangah,
3and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
3Hongpai dingpa na hi hia, a hihkeileh midang hungaih lai ding ka hi uhia? a chi saka.
4Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
4Huan Jesun a kiang uah, Pai nawnta unla, thil na muh uh leh na jak uh Johan kiangah vahilh un.
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, Isaiah 35:5 the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. Isaiah 61:1-4
5Mittawte a mit uh a hong vakta, khebaite khein a hongpai ua, phakte a hongsiangthouta ua, bengngong te leng a bil uh a hongvakta, misite leng kaihthohin a omta ua; a jawngten leng Tanchin Hoih hilh a dongta uh.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
6Huan, kuapeuh ka tunga lunghihlouhna mu lou tuh a hampha uhi, chiin a na dawnga.
7As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
7Huai mite tuh a paitak un, Jesun mipite kingah Johan thu a genta a, Bang en dinga gamdai a pai khia neita ua? Sialluang huih mut ling maw?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king’s houses.
8A hihkeikeh, bang en dingpena pai khia neita ua? Puan nem silh maw? Ngai un, puan nem silhte jaw kumpipate in ah eive a om uh.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
9A hihkeileh, bang jiakpenin ahia na pai khiak uh? jawlnei, en dngin maw? A hi tawk vo oi, ka honchi ahi, jawlnei sanga leng thupijaw.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Malachi 3:1
10en dih, ka thangkou na ma ah ka sawl ahi, aman tuh na ma ah na lam a bawl ding. chih, a tanchin a gelh uh, hiai mipa ahi.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
11Chihtaktakin, ka honhilh ahi, Numei suan lakah Baptispa Johan sanga thupijaw a suak ngei kei; himahleh vangama mi neu deuh leng amah sangin a thupizo ngal ua.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. or, plunder it.
12Baptispa Johan om akipan tutanin vangamin hiamgamna a tuak nak, hiamgamten hat thuin a la uh.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
13Jawlneite tengteng leh dan thuin Johan a hongom tanphain a na gen khol jel uh ahi.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
14Na pom nop uleh, huai jaw Elija, hongpai dingpa mah ahi.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
15Kuapeuh jakna dinga bil neiin ja heh.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
16Himahleh, tulai khangthakte bang toh ka tehpih dia? Naupang dawlmun khawnga tua, a lawmte sama
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
17Tamngai hontum sak una, lam lou uchina, Kap huphup unga, sun lou uchin a. chite bang ahi uh
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
18Johan a hongpaia, a ne in a dawn kei a, dawi nei ahi, a chi ua.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children. NU reads “actions” instead of “children” ”
19Mihing Tapa a hongpai a, a ne in a dawn a, Endih ua, an haipa uain haipa, siahkhonte leh mikhialte lawm; a chi ngal ua. Himahleh, pilna tuh a thilhihten siam a tan uh, a chi a.
20Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
20Huan, a kisik louh jiakun, a thil thupi hih tamna pen khuate tuh a taita a.
21 “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 in sackcloth and ashes.
21Korazin, na tung gik e: Bethsaida, na tung gik e; noumau a thil thupi hihte Tura leh Sidon khua a hih hileh, saiip puan silha vut laka tuin akisikta ding uh.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
22Himahleh, ka honhilh ahi, thukhen ni chiangin nou thuak ding sangin Tura leh Sidon khua thuak ding a dan a om zo ding.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. or, Hell For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.
23Huan, nang Kapernaum, van tana tawisang na hi dia hia? Misi khua tan a vapai ding neive, nangmah a thil thupi tak hihte Sodom khuaa hih hileh, tutanin a om lai ding.
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you.”
24Himahleh, ka honhilh ahi, thukhen ni chiangin na thuak ding sangin Sodom gam thuakding a dan a om zo ding, a chi a
25At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
25Huchihlaiin, Jesun a houpiha, Pa aw, leitung leh van Toupa, nang mi pil leh mi bengvakte kiangah hiai thu na ima, naungekte kianga na than jiakin ka honphat hi.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
26A hi, Pa, tua bang hih tuh, nang ngaihin a hoih ahi.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
27Ka Pan thil bangkim honkem sakta; Pa louin kuamahin Tapa a theikei; Tapa leh a kiang ua Tapain a kitheihsak utnate kia loungalin kuamahin Pa a theikei.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
28Nou sem gim leh puakgik po tengteng aw, ka kiangah hongpai unla, keiman khawlna konpe ding.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
29Ka hakkol pua unla, keia kipan zil un; thunuailut leh lungtanga kingainiam tak ka hi; huchiin, na kha ua dingin khawlna na mu ding uh.Ka hakkol a nuama, ka puak leng a jang ahi, a chi a.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
30Ka hakkol a nuama, ka puak leng a jang ahi, a chi a.
