Marku 4
1 Tuili kaengah khaw thuituen ham koep a tong tih hlangping loh a taengah a kumngai a tingtun pah. Te dongah amah te tuili kah lawng khuiah ngol hamla kun. Te vaengah hlangping tah tuili taengkah lan soah boeih om uh.
And again he began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake on the land.
2 Te vaengah amih te nuettahnah neh muep a thuituen tih a thuituennah dongah amih te,
And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
3 “Hnatun uh lah, cangti aka tuh tah cangti tuh ham cet ne.
Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
4 A tuh la a om vaengah a ngen tah long ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Te phoeiah a tloe tah laimen muep aka om pawh lungrhong soah tla tih laimen a dung la a om pawt dongah tlek poe.
And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Tedae khomik a thoeng vaengah a kaeng atah a yung a om pawt dongah koh
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Te phoeiah a tloe tah hling khuiah tla. Hling te a rhoeng vaengah cangti te a thing tih a thaih thaii pawh.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
8 Te phoeiah, a tloe rhoek tah lai then dongah tla. Te dongah a poe vaengah rhoeng tih a thaih thaii tih a ngen thumkip, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen yakhat lo,” a ti nah.
And others fell on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
9 Te dongah, “Yaak nah hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
And he said, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Te dongah amah bueng a om vaengah, a taengvai rhoek neh hlainit rhoek loh nuettahnah te a dawt uh.
And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
11 Te dongah amih te, “Pathen ram kah olhuep te nangmih m'paek coeng. Tedae poengben kah rhoek ham tah soeprhep boeih te nuettahnah la a om pah.
And he said to them, To you hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
12 Te daengah ni a hmuh tah a hmuh uh sui dae a hmat uh pawt eh, a yaak tah a yaak uh sui dae a hmuhming uh pawt eh. Ha mael uh vetih amih te vik hlah ve,” a ti nah.
hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hekah nuettahnah he na ming uh pawt atah nuettahnah boeih te metlam na ming uh eh?
And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
14 Aka tuh loh olthangthen ni a tuh.
The sower soweth the word.
15 He tah longpuei kaep kah a soem ol te ni. A yaak vaengah Satan tlek cet tih amih khuiah a soem ol a loh pah.
And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.
16 Te phoeiah he rhoek tah lungrhong sokah a haeh rhoek ni. Te rhoek loh ol te a yaak uh vaengah omngaihnah neh tlek a doe.
And these in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy,
17 Tedae a khuiah a yung om uh pawt tih kolkalh bueng omuh. Te phoeiah olka kongah phacipphabaem neh hnaemtaeknah a om atah voeng a khah uh.
and have no root in themselves, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
18 A tloe rhoek hling lakli ah a tuh khaw om. Te rhoek khaw ol aka ya rhoek ni.
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
19 Tedae diklai kah mawntangnah, khuehtawn kah hmilhmaknah neh a tloe boeih ham hoehhamnah ha pawk vaengah ol te a thing tih a tlongtlai la poeh. (aiōn g165)
but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Tedae lai then ah tuh la aka om rhoek tah ol te a yaak uh vaengah a doe uh tih a ngen tah thumkip, a ngen tah sawmrhuk, a ngen tah yakhat la thaihtak,” a ti nah.
And these are they who are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
21 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hmaiim te voh hmui neh thingkong hmuiah khueh ham a hang khuen? Hmaitung soah a khueh ham moenih a?
And he said to them, Is a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-stand?
22 Te dongah a huephael akhaw a phoe mueh la a om moenih. A huep te a thoeng mueh moenih. Te van daengah ni mingpha la a om eh.
For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
23 Yaak nah hna aka khueh long te tah ya saeh,” a ti nah.
If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Te phoeiah amih te, “Na yaak uh te poek uh, na nueh nah cungnueh nen te nangmih n'nueh van vetih nangmih taengah han thap ni.
And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
25 Aka khueh te tah a paek thil vetih aka khueh pawt te a khueh duen te anih taeng lamloh a lat pah ni,” a ti nah.
For he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
26 Te phoeiah, “Pathen ram tah diklai dongah cangtii aka haeh hlang bangla om tangloeng.
And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
27 Tedae khoyin khothaih ip vaeng thoo vaeng cakhaw cangtii daih tih a rhoeng te a ming moenih.
and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
28 Diklai amah loh a thaihtak sak tih lamhma la cangkung, te phoeiah cangvuei, cangvuei khuiah cangyen a bae sak.
For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Tedae cangvuei loh hmin tih cangah a pha atah vin tlek a pom,” a ti nah.
But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh, “Pathen ram he metlam n'thuidoek vetih mebang nuettahnah nen n'nueh lah ve?
And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
31 Pathen ramtah mukang mu bangla om. Te te diklai dongah a haeh vaengah tah diklai hmankah a tii boeih lakah a yit koek la om.
It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
32 A haeh phoeiah rhoeng tih toian boeih lakah a tanglue la coeng, a hlaeng khaw a len la cawn. Te dongah vaan kah vaa khaw a hlipkhup ah bu a tuk thai,” a ti nah.
and when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
33 A yaak thai la hebang nuettahnah neh amih taengah ol muep a thui pah.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
34 Nuettahnah pawt atah amih taengah a thui moenih. Tedae a hnukbang rhoek ham bueng ni boeih a thuicaih pah.
But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
35 Te khohnin hlaem a pha vaengah amih te, “Rhlavangan la lan uh sih,” a ti nah.
And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
36 Te phoeiah hlangping te a hlah uh tih lawng khuiah aka om Jesuh te pahoi a khuen uh. Lawng tloe rhoek khaw Jesuh taengah om uh.
And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
37 Te vaengah khohli aka tlo hlipuei te hli. Te dongah tuiphu loh lawng te a boh dongah lawng dalh buek.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
38 Tedae Jesuh tah a maicaem ah om tih luhoe dongah ip. Te vaengah amah te a thoh uh tih, “Saya, m'poci coeng he, na ngaihuet moenih a?” a ti na uh.
And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
39 A haeng vaengah khohli te a ho tih tuili te, “Paa lamtah duem laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah khohli te paa tih suepduem la boeih om.
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, Peace! be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Te phoeiah amih te, “Balae tih rhalyawp la na om uh? Tangnah na khueh uh hlana?” a ti nah.
And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
41 Tedae a rhih uh tih a rhihnah uh khaw khosava. Te dongah khat neh khat, “Unim he, tuili neh khohli long pataeng boe a ngai pah he?” a ti uh.
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
