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 was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.
2 Te vaengah amih te nuettahnah neh muep a thuituen tih a thuituennah dongah amih te,
And he gave them teaching about a number of things in the form of stories, and said to them in his teaching, Give ear:
3 “Hnatun uh lah, cangti aka tuh tah cangti tuh ham cet ne.
A man went out to put seed in the earth:
4 A tuh la a om vaengah a ngen tah long ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.
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 went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:
6 Tedae khomik a thoeng vaengah a kaeng atah a yung a om pawt dongah koh
And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.
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 went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave 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 some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.
9 Te dongah, “Yaak nah hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
And he said to them, Whoever has ears, let him give ear.
10 Te dongah amah bueng a om vaengah, a taengvai rhoek neh hlainit rhoek loh nuettahnah te a dawt uh.
And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories.
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 is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;
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.
So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hekah nuettahnah he na ming uh pawt atah nuettahnah boeih te metlam na ming uh eh?
And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?
14 Aka tuh loh olthangthen ni a tuh.
The seed is 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, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted 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 in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take 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 they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.
18 A tloe rhoek hling lakli ah a tuh khaw om. Te rhoek khaw ol aka ya rhoek ni.
And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to 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 cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, and the desire for other things coming in, put a stop to the growth of the word, and it gives no fruit. (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 were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.
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, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table?
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.
There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.
23 Yaak nah hna aka khueh long te tah ya saeh,” a ti nah.
If any man has ears, let him give ear.
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 care what you give ear to: in the same measure as you give you will get, and more will be given 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.
He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.
26 Te phoeiah, “Pathen ram tah diklai dongah cangtii aka haeh hlang bangla om tangloeng.
And he said, Such is the kingdom of God, as if a man put seed in the earth,
27 Tedae khoyin khothaih ip vaeng thoo vaeng cakhaw cangtii daih tih a rhoeng te a ming moenih.
And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.
28 Diklai amah loh a thaihtak sak tih lamhma la cangkung, te phoeiah cangvuei, cangvuei khuiah cangyen a bae sak.
The earth gives fruit by herself; first the leaf, then the head, then the full grain.
29 Tedae cangvuei loh hmin tih cangah a pha atah vin tlek a pom,” a ti nah.
But when the grain is ready, he quickly sends men to get it cut, because the time for cutting has come.
30 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh, “Pathen ram he metlam n'thuidoek vetih mebang nuettahnah nen n'nueh lah ve?
And he said, What picture may we give of the kingdom of God, or with what story may we make it clear?
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 seed, which, when it is put in the earth, is smaller than all the seeds on 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.
But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.
33 A yaak thai la hebang nuettahnah neh amih taengah ol muep a thui pah.
And with a number of such stories he gave them his teaching, as they were able to take it:
34 Nuettahnah pawt atah amih taengah a thui moenih. Tedae a hnukbang rhoek ham bueng ni boeih a thuicaih pah.
And without a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.
35 Te khohnin hlaem a pha vaengah amih te, “Rhlavangan la lan uh sih,” a ti nah.
And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go 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 going away from the people, they took 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 a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.
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 nauh.
And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?
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 came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, 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 you full of fear? have you still no 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 their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?
