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, began he to be teaching by the sea; and there come together unto him a very great multitude, so that, he, into a boat, entering, was sitting upon the sea, —and, all the multitude, were, near the sea upon the land.
2 Te vaengah amih te nuettahnah neh muep a thuituen tih a thuituennah dongah amih te,
And he began to teach them, in parables, many things, and was saying unto them, in his teaching—
3 “Hnatun uh lah, cangti aka tuh tah cangti tuh ham cet ne.
Hearken! Lo! the 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, indeed, fell by the pathway, and the birds came, and devoured it;
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, some, fell on the rocky places, [even] where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang forth, by reason of its not having depth of earth;
6 Tedae khomik a thoeng vaengah a kaeng atah a yung a om pawt dongah koh
and, when the sun arose, it was scorched, —and, by reason of its not having root, it was dried up;
7 Te phoeiah a tloe tah hling khuiah tla. Hling te a rhoeng vaengah cangti te a thing tih a thaih thaii pawh.
And, some, fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and, fruit, it yielded not;
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, other, fell into the good ground, and was yielding fruit, coming up and growing, —and was bearing, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold,
9 Te dongah, “Yaak nah hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
And he was saying—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 alone they who were about him with the twelve questioned him as to 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 was saying unto them—To you, the sacred secret hath been given of the kingdom of God, whereas, to them who are outside, in parables are all things coming to pass, —that
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.
They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it be forgiven them.
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hekah nuettahnah he na ming uh pawt atah nuettahnah boeih te metlam na ming uh eh?
And he saith unto them—Know ye not this parable? How then will ye get to 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 beside the pathway where the word is sown, —and, as soon as they hear, straightway, cometh Satan, and snatcheth away the word which hath been sown into 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 are likewise they upon the rocky places sown, —who, as soon as they hear the word, straightway, with joy receive it,
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, only for a season are, —afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;
18 A tloe rhoek hling lakli ah a tuh khaw om. Te rhoek khaw ol aka ya rhoek ni.
And others are they who among thorns are sown, —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)
and, the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of wealth, and the covetings about the remaining things, entering in, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh; (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 those yonder are they who on the good ground are sown, —who, indeed, hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit—thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.
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 was saying unto them—Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put?
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 it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.
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 was saying unto them—Be taking heed what ye are hearing: —with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you, and added unto 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, it shall be given, unto him, and, he that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him.
26 Te phoeiah, “Pathen ram tah diklai dongah cangtii aka haeh hlang bangla om tangloeng.
And he was saying—Thus, is the kingdom of God: As a man may cast seed upon the earth,
27 Tedae khoyin khothaih ip vaeng thoo vaeng cakhaw cangtii daih tih a rhoeng te a ming moenih.
and be sleeping and rising, night and day, —and the seed be sprouting, and lengthening itself, —how, he, knoweth not:
28 Diklai amah loh a thaihtak sak tih lamhma la cangkung, te phoeiah cangvuei, cangvuei khuiah cangyen a bae sak.
of itself, the earth beareth fruit, —first, a blade, afterwards, an ear, after that, full corn in the ear;
29 Tedae cangvuei loh hmin tih cangah a pha atah vin tlek a pom,” a ti nah.
but, as soon as the fruit yieldeth itself up, straightway, he sendeth forth the sickle, because standing by is the harvest.—
30 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh, “Pathen ram he metlam n'thuidoek vetih mebang nuettahnah nen n'nueh lah ve?
And he was saying—How shall we liken the kingdom of God, or, in what parable, shall we put it?
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.
As a grain of mustard seed, —which, whensoever it may be sown upon the earth, is less than all the seeds that are upon 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, as soon as it is sown, springeth up, and becometh greater than all garden plants, and produceth large branches, so that, under the shade thereof, the birds of heaven can find shelter.
33 A yaak thai la hebang nuettahnah neh amih taengah ol muep a thui pah.
And, with many such parables as these, was he speaking unto them the word, —according 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, was he not speaking unto them, —privately, however, unto his own disciples, was he explaining all things.
35 Te khohnin hlaem a pha vaengah amih te, “Rhlavangan la lan uh sih,” a ti nah.
And he saith unto them, on that day, when evening came, Let us cross over unto 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, dismissing the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat, and, other boats, were 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 ariseth a great tempest of wind, —and, the waves, were dashing over into the boat, so that, already being filled, was the boat.
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, on the cushion, sleeping. And they arouse him, and say unto him, Teacher! carest thou not that we perish?
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, roused up, he rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea—Hush! be still! and the wind lulled, and it became 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 unto them—Why, are ye, fearful? Not yet, have ye 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 were caused to fear a great fear, and were saying one to another—Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him?
