¹It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

¹Huan hichi bang ahi a, Jesu'n huai thute a genzoh tak in, Galili gam a kipan a pawt a, Jordan lui gal Judia gamah a vahoh a;

²Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

²Huan, mipi thupi tak in a zuan ua; huai ah tuh amaute a hihdamta.

³Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

³Huan, Pharisaite a kiang ah a hong ua, amah ze-etna ding in, Bang jiak peuh in leng min a ji mak a siang hia? a chi ua.

⁴He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Genesis 1:27

⁴Huan, aman, A tung a kipan a mau bawlpan numei leh pasal a bawl leh,

⁵ and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Genesis 2:24

⁵Hiai jiak in pasal in a nu leh a pa a paisan ding a, a ji a len ding;

⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”

⁷They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”

⁷Amau tuh a kiang ah, A hih leh, bang dia Mosi in kimakna lai piak a mak ding ahi chi a thu pia ahia leh? A chi ua.

⁸He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

⁸Aman a kiang uah, Mosi in na lungtang uh khauh jiak in eive na jite uh mak a phal; himahleh, a tung a kipan huchi bang ahi ngeikei.

⁹ I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

⁹Ken zaw ka hon chi ahi, Kuapeuh tangval ngaihjiak hilou a, ji ma a midang nei tuh, angkawm ahi: maksa nei peuhmah leng angkawm ahi a chi a.

¹⁰His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

¹⁰Nungzuite'n a kiang ah, Pasal a ji lam thu huchi bang a hihleh kiten hoihkei, a chi ua.

¹¹But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

¹¹Aman bel a kiang uah, Huai thu ahihleh, mi napeuh in a pom theikei ding uh, a piaknate kia loungal in.

¹² For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

¹²Mi chilgeh, a nu uh gil sung ua kipang a huchi bang a piang himte a om ua; michilgeh, mihing khut a gehte leng a om sam ua; michilgeh, vangam jiak a chilgeh a kibawl tawmte leng a om sam uh. Kuapeuh a pom thei in pom heh, a chi a.

¹³Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

¹³Huailai in a tung ua a khut koih a, a thumsak ding in, a kiang ah naupang neute a honpi ua; huan, nungzuite'n a na sal ua.

¹⁴But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

¹⁴Jesu'n bel, Naupang neute ka kiang ah hon sawl unla, khamkei un; vangam tuh hichi bang mite a ahi ngal a, a chi a.

¹⁵He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

¹⁵Huan, a tunguah a khut a koih a, huai apat tuh a paita.

¹⁶Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

¹⁶Huan, mi khat a kiang ah a hong a, Pu, khantawn a hinna ka neih theihna ding in thil hoih bang ka hih ding? A chi a.

¹⁷He said to him, “Why do you call me good? So MT and TR. NU reads “Why do you ask me about what is good?” No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

¹⁷Huan, aman a kiang ah, Thil hoih thu bangdia hon dong? Hoih khat kia a om; abang-abang hileh, hinna a lut na ut leh thupiakte zui in, a chi a.

¹⁸He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

¹⁸Huan, aman a kiang ah, A koi pen maw? A chi a. Huan, Jesu'n, Tual na thah ding ahikei; Ang na kawm ding ahikei; Na gu ding ahikei; Na hek ding ahikei;

¹⁹ ‘Honor your father and mother.’ Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Leviticus 19:18

¹⁹Na nu leh na pa zah in, chihte leh, Nangmah na ki-it bang in na vengte na it ding ahi, chih, a chi a.

²⁰The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

²⁰Tangval in tuh a kiang ah, Huai thu tengteng tuh ka zui zel; bang ka samlai a? A chi a.

²¹Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

²¹Jesu'n a kiang ah, Hoih kim a om na ut leh, pai inla, na neih juak inla, mi jawngte kiang ah pia in, huchi in, van ah gou na nei ding; huan, hongpai inla, hon jui in, a chi a.

²²But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

²²Tangval bel huai thu a jak in lungkham tak in a paimangta a, sum tampi nei a hih jiak in.

²³Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

²³Huan, Jesu'n a nungzuite kiang ah, Chihtaktakin ka hon hilh ahi, mi hausa dia vangam a lut haksa pi ahi.

²⁴ Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁴Huan, ka hon hilh ahi, mi hausa Pathian gam a lut sang in sangawngsau phim bil a lutsuak a baihlam zaw, a chi a.

²⁵When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁵Huan, nungjuite'n huai a jak un, lamdang a naksak mahmah ua, Kua hotdam in a om zou dia? a chi ua.

²⁶Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

²⁶Huan, Jesu'n amau a en a, a kiang uah, Huai tuh mihing hih vual a hikei a, Pathian a di'n bel bangkim hihtheih ahi, a chi a.

²⁷Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”

²⁷Huan, Peter in a kiang ah, Ngaidih, kou bangkim paisan in ka hon juita ua; bang ka mu ding ua le? a chi a, a dawng a.

²⁸Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸Huan, Jesu'n a kiang ah, Chihtaktakin ka hon hilh ahi, Khovel thakna ah, Mihing Tapa a thupina tutphah a a tut chiang in, nou kei hon juite, Israel nam sawm leh nihte vaihawm in, laltutphah sawm leh nih ah na tu sam ding uh.

²⁹ Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

²⁹Huan, mi chih in in hiam, unaute hiam, sanggamnute hiam, pa hiam, nu hiam, tate hiam, gamte hiam ka min jiak a paisan peuhmah in tuh a leh ja a mu ding ua, khantawn a hinna a tang ding uh.Himahleh, mi tampi, masapen a omte tuh, nanungpen in a om ding uh; nanungpen a omte leng masapen in a om ding uh.

³⁰Himahleh, mi tampi, masapen a omte tuh, nanungpen in a om ding uh; nanungpen a omte leng masapen in a om ding uh.
