¹At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

¹Huchihlaiin, Jesun tuh Khawlniin buhlei khawng kanin a paia; a nungjuite tuh a gil uh a kiala, buhvui khawng a khiak ua, a neta uh.

²But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”

²Huan, Pharisaiten a muh un, a kiangah, En dih, na nungjuiten Khawlniin hih sianglou a hih uh, a chi ua.

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

³Aman bel a kiang uah, Davidin a gilkial laia a lawmte toh a thil hih uh na sim kei ua hia?

⁴ how he entered into God’s house, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests? 1 Samuel 21:3-6

⁴Huchia Pathian in a a lut a, amah leh a lawmten nek sianglouh, siampute kia nek siang tanghou koih a nek thu uh?

⁵ Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless?

⁵Ahihkeileh, Khawlniin Pathian biakina siampu omten Khawlni a hihthang ua leng siamtanin a om jel uh chih dan thu ah na simkei ua hia?

⁶ But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

⁶Abang abang hileh, Pathian biakin sanga thupijaw hiai ah a om chih ka honhilh ahi.

⁷ But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ Hosea 6:6 you would not have condemned the guiltless.

⁷Himahleh, Kithoihna deih louin, zahngaihna ka deih, chih, a omdan na natheita hi le uchin, mi siamtangte tuh siam louh tangsak lou ding hive uchin.

⁸ For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

⁸Mihing Tapa jaw Khawlni Toupa ahi ngala, a chi a.

⁹He departed there, and went into their synagogue.

⁹Huan, huaia kipanin a paia, a kikhopna in uah a valuta.

¹⁰And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” that they might accuse him.

¹⁰Huan, ngaidih, mi khat khut jaw a na oma, Huan a hek theihna ding un. Khawlnia hihdam a siang hia? chiin Jesu a dong ua.

¹¹He said to them, “What man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to it, and lift it out?

¹¹Huan, aman tuh a kiangah uah, Noute lakah kuapeuhin belam khat nei unla, huai tuh Khawlniin kokhuk ah keta leh, kua ahia lena kaikhe lou ding?

¹² Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”

¹²Belam khat sangin mihing khat tuh bangchi lela manpha jaw ahia? Huaijiakin Khawlniin hihhoih a siang hi, a chi a.

¹³Then he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.

¹³Huaitakin, huai mi kiangah tuh, Na khut zanin, a chi a. Huchiin, a zana, alangkhat bangin a dam siangta.

¹⁴But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

¹⁴Huchiin Pharisaite tuh a pawt ua, amah a hihlup theihna dan ding uh ngaihtuahin a kihou ua.

¹⁵Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,

¹⁵Himahleh, Jesun huai a theihin huaia kipanin a kihemmangta. Huan, mitampiin amah a jui ua.

¹⁶and commanded them that they should not make him known:

¹⁶a nahihdam vek a, a tanchin than het louh ding a kiang uah a chi a.

¹⁷that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁷Jawlnei Isaiin,

¹⁸“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.

¹⁸En dih, ka sikha ka tel, ka deih tak ka lungsimin a pahtak mahmah, a tungah ka Kha ka koih dia, huchiin, Jentelte kiang ah dika vaihawmna thu a gen ding.

¹⁹He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

¹⁹A sel keidinga, a kikou sam keidinga, kongzing khawng ah leng kuamahin a aw a za sam kei ding uh.

²⁰He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.

²⁰Dika-vaihawmna a vualzohsak mateng sialluang gawp a hihtan khe kei dinga, thaumei kuang liakliak a hihmit sam kei ding.

²¹In his name, the nations will hope.” Isaiah 42:1-4

²¹Amah min ah Jentelten lametna a nga ding uh, chia a gen a hongtun theihna dingin.

²²Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

²²Huchihlaiin dawi mat mittaw pautheilou khat a kiangah a honpi ua; huan, aman a na hihdama, huchiin, pautheilou tuh hongpau theiin, a honmu thei ta a.

²³All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”

²³Huan, mipi tengtengin lamdang a sa mahmah ua, Hiai mipa David Tapa hilou ahi maw? a chi ua.

²⁴But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

²⁴Himahleh, Pharisaiten huai a jak phet un, Hiai min dawi lal Beezibul jiaklou in dawite a delhkhe kei ding, a chi ua.

²⁵Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

²⁵Huan, Jesun a ngaihtuahte uh a natheia, a kiang uah, Koi gam leng amah kidoua mangthang nak; koi khua leng, hiam, koi inkuan khat leng amah kidou tuh, a ding khosuak kei ding.

²⁶ If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

²⁶Huan, Setanin Setan mah a delhkhiakin amah kidou hi ding hi a; a gam tuh bangchin a ding dia le?

²⁷ If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

²⁷Huan, kei Beelzibul jiaka dawite delhkhia ka na hih leh, na tate un kua jiakin ahia leh a delhkhiak uh? Huaijiakin amaute tuh noute tunga thukhenmite ahi ding uh.

²⁸ But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

²⁸A hihhangin, kei Pathian Kha jiaka dawite delhkhia ka na hih leh, Pathian gam na kiang uah hongtungta ahi ding.

²⁹ Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.

²⁹Huchi a hih keingalin, min mi hat tuh a gak masak phot kei leh bangchin ahia mi hat ina a lut dia a sum a laksak theih ding? huai nungin tuh a in tuh a lohsak mai ding ahi.

³⁰ “He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.

³⁰Kuapeuh ka lama pang lou tuh, hon dou ahi; kuapeuh honlak khawm pih lou tuh, a hihjak ahi.

³¹ Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

³¹Huai jiakin ka honhilh ahi, mi a khelhna chiteng uah leh Pathian a gensiatna chiteng ua ngaihdam a hin dinguh: Kha hilhial gensiatna tuh ngaihdamsak ahi kei ding.

³² Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.

³²Huan, kuapeuh Mihing Tapa kalh tuh a kalhna uh ngaihdamsak ahi ding: kuapeuh Kha Siangthou hilhial kalh jaw huai a kalhna uh, tu damsung in leng, hun hongtung ding ah leng, ngaihdamsak a hikei ding.

³³ “Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.

³³Sing tuh a hoih, a gah leng a hoih, na chih kei ngal uleh, sing tuh a sia, a gah leng a sia, chi vanglak un: sing tuh a gaha a kitheih ngal jiakin,

³⁴ You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

³⁴Gul suante aw, now gilou napiin bangchin ahia thu hoih na gan thieh ding uh? Lungtang a dim val tuh kamin a gen jel ahi.

³⁵ The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure TR adds “of the heart” brings out evil things.

³⁵Mi hoihin a goubawm hoih a kipan thil hoihte a honla khia a, mi gilou in a gou bawn hoihlou akipan thil hoihlou a honlakhe jel.

³⁶ I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

³⁶Huan, ka honhilh ahi. Miten thu gina lou a gen peuh mah uh, huai thu tanchin tuh vaihawm ni chiah a gen ding uh.

³⁷ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

³⁷Na thuin siam a hontangsak dia, na thu mahin siam louh a hontangsak ding hi, a chi a.

³⁸Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”

³⁸Huailaiin laigelhmite leh Pharisaite laka mi kuate hiamin amah a houpih ua, a kiangah. Heutupa, na kiang akipan chiamtehna muh ka ut uh a chi ua.

³⁹But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

³⁹Aman tuh a kianguah. Khangthak gilou tak leh angkawnhat takten chiamtehna a zong ua, himahleh, jawlnei Jona chiamtehna loungal tuh a kiang uah chiamtehna himhim piak ahi kei ding.

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁴⁰Jona ni thum leh jan thum ngapi gilsunga a om bangin. Mihing Tapa ni thum leh jan thum lei gil sungah a om sam ding.

⁴¹ 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, someone greater than Jonah is here.

⁴¹Ninevi khuaa mite tuh thukhen ni chiangin tulai khangthakte kiangah a ding sam dingua, siam louh a tangsak ding uh. Jona thu gen jiakin a kisik ngal ua: ngai dih ua. Jona sanga thupijaw hiai ah a om.

⁴² The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

⁴²Sim lam kumpinu tuh thukhen ni chiangin tulai khangthakte kiangah a thou sam ding, siam louh a tangsak ding, Solomon pilna ngaikhe dingin bawn kawlmonga kipan a hongpai ngalin bawn kawlmonga kipan a hingpai ngala; ngai dih ua, Solomon sanga thupijaw hiaiah a om hi.

⁴³ But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.

⁴³Huan, dawi nin mi sunga kipan a pawtin, khawlna zongin tui om louhna mun bangah a vak vak a, a mu ngal kei a.

⁴⁴ Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came out,’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

⁴⁴Huan, Ka pawtna in mahah ka kiknawn mai ding, a chi a: huan, a vatun leh, a vuaka, zep hoih sain a va mu a.

⁴⁵ Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.”

⁴⁵Huai takin a vapaia, amah sanga gilou jaw dawi dang sagih a honpi a, huaiah a lut ua, a tengta ua: huai mihing omdan nanung tuh a masa sangin a honghoih kei zo nak ahi. Tuamah bangin, tulai kangthak giloutakte tunga a hongom ding, chiin a dawnga.

⁴⁶While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

⁴⁶Mipite kianga thu a gen laiin ngai dih, a nu leh a unaute tuh amah houpih tumin, inpua ah a ding ua.

⁴⁷One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”

⁴⁷Huan, mi khatin a kiangah. Ngaidih. na ni leh na unaute nang hohhoupih tumin inpua ah a ding nilouh uh, a chi a.

⁴⁸But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

⁴⁸Aman tuh a hilhpa kiangah. Ka nu kua ahia? Ka unaute leng kuate ahia ua? chiin a dawnga.

⁴⁹He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers!

⁴⁹Huan, a nungjui lamah a khut zan a. En un, ka nu leh ka unaute:Kuapeuh ka Pa vana om deihlam hih phot tuh ka unaute ka sanggam nute, ka nute ahi uh a chi a.

⁵⁰ For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

⁵⁰Kuapeuh ka Pa vana om deihlam hih phot tuh ka unaute ka sanggam nute, ka nute ahi uh a chi a.
