Marka 4
1 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing tuili kengawh thlang cawngpyi tlaih bai hy. A venawh ak cun thlang kqeng ce a kqeng soeih a dawngawh lawng khuina kun nawh ngawi hy, cawh thlangkqeng taw tuili kengawh awm uhy.
And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side.
2 Nyhtahnaak awi ing cekkhqi ce ik-oeih khawzah cawngpyi khqi hy, a cawngpyinaak awh ce a mingmih a venawh:
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine:
3 “Ngai lah uh! lo ak toenkung thlang pynoet taw camci ak saw na cet hy.
Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
4 Camci ce a saw awh a vang taw lam awh tla nawh phakhqi ing cung hloep uhy.
And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
5 A vang taw deklai khawzah ama awmnaak lung ak khan awh tla hy. Deklai a pam a dawngawh, kawlhkalh awh cawt tlang hy.
And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth.
6 Cehlai khaw a thoeng law awhtaw ak kqa ama cak a dawngawh khawkbe ing tau nawh reu hy.
And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Camci a vang taw hling anglakawh tla nawh, hling a thing ce a bau law awhtaw cang ce zawl malh hy, cedawngawh am vui thai hy.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Camci a vang taw deklai ak leek awh tla hy. Cawt law, taai law nawh, vui hy, a pyh thumkip, kqukkip, zakhat dyna ak thaih vui hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
9 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing, “Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Amah doeng a awm awh, thlanghqa hlaihih tloek ingkaw thlak changkhqi ce a venna law unawh nyhtahnaak awi ce doet uhy.
And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable.
11 A mingmih a venawh, “Khawk khan nakaw awihyp ce nangmih a venawh ni pek khqi hawh hy. Cehlai a ceng na ak awmkhqi aham ik-oeih soepkep ce nyhtahnaak awi ing kqawn pe nyng,
And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables:
12 cawh ni, “'hu taw hu hlai kawm uh, am toek thai ti kawm uh, za taw za hlai kawm uh, am zasim thai qoe kawm uh, cemih am mantaw hlat tlaih kawm usaw, qeenkhaw ngai na awm hau kawm uh!' a ti myihna,” tinak khqi hy.
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve amna ming zasim nawh nu? Cawhtaw ikawmyihna nyhtahnaak awikhqi boeih ce naming zaak sim hly pai?
And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this parable? and how shall you know all parables?
14 Lo ak takung ing awi ce theh hy.
He that soweth, soweth the word.
15 Thlang vang taw awi ce ak theh awh, camci ang tlaaknaak lam amyihna awm uhy. Awi ce aming zaak awh Setan ce law nawh a mingmih ak khuiawh theh na ak awm awi ce lo valh hy.
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 Ak changkhqi bai taw, lunghqawng awh ak tla camci amyihna awm bai hy, awi ce aming zaak awh zeel doena do pahoei uhy.
And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
17 Cehlai ak kqa ama cak a dawngawh, kawlhkalh ca doeng awm hy. Awi awh kyinaak ingkaw thekhanaakkhqi a law awh, ang tawnna tluk tlang uhy.
And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized.
18 Ak changkhqi bai taw hling anglakawhkaw ak tla camci ing myih uhy, awi ce za hy;
And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word,
19 cehlai ve khawmdek hqing khawsaknaak awh lynaakkhqi, boeinaak, qaai kqawnnaak khqi ingkaw ak chang ik-oeih ngaihnaakkhqi law nawh awi ce zawl malh uhy, cedawngawh a vui am qah thai hy. (aiōn g165)
And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless. (aiōn g165)
20 Ak chang bai taw, laitak awh ak tla camci ing myih hy, awi ce ang zaak awh, do hy, a vui qah nawh - a pyh thumkip, kqukkip ingkaw zakhat dyna ak thaih vui hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
21 A mingmih a venawh, “Maiim ce dawn ing myk unawh, am awhtaw caboei ak kaina ta khawi unawh nu? Maiim amim hawihnaak khawi awh ni amim hawih ka ti my?
And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 Cawh ni amak dangkhqi boeih awm dang kawmsaw ang hyp na ak awmkhqi awm aming dang hly boeih hy.
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.
23 Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh.
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Na ming zaak ve ak leek na poek lah uh. Thlang aham na loeknaak awh ce nang aham awm loek law lawt kaw.
And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
25 U awm ak ta ce sap pek khqoet kawmsaw; u awm amak ta cetaw, a taak ang cang awm lawh pe kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
26 A mingmih a venawh, “Khawsa qam taw vemyihna awm hy. Thlang pynoet ing camci ce a lo awh theh hy.
And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,
27 Khawmthan ingkaw khawkdai ip nawh hang tho law seiawm camci ce pawk nawh cawt law hy. Ikawmyihna a hang cawt law tice am sim hy.
And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not.
28 Amah poek awh deklai ing vui a qah sak hy - a kung hak cawt law hy, cekcoengawh vui nawh ak thaih qah law hy.
For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.
29 Cang ce a hin awhtaw, cang ah aham a khoek hawh a dawngawh, vin ce lo nawh aat hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Cawhtaw, “Khawk khan qam ve kaw ing nu ka nyhtah lah voei, am awhtaw i ikawmyih nyhtahnaak awi nu ka hawnaak lah voei?
And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?
31 Khan qam taw khawmdek awh ak zawi soeih antlam cii ing myih hy.
It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
32 Cehlai antlam cii ce cawt nawh a hang taai law awhtaw dum khui awhkaw a thing boeih boeih anglakawh bau khqoet hy, a baai ak bau na cawn nawh khan nakaw phakhqi ing a hlip awh cu uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.
33 A mingmih ing aming zaak simnaak thai aham, cemyih nyhtahnaak awikhqi ing awi kqawn pek khqi hy.
And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.
34 Nyhtahnaak awi hawnaak kaana ikawmyih awi awm ap kqawn pek khqi hy. Cehlai a hubatkhqi mi amah doeng ami awm awh, cawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ce kqawncaih pek khqi hy.
And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.
35 Amah ce nyn khawmy ben awh a hubatkhqi venawh, “Vang ben caqai na cet usih,” tinak khqi hy.
And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.
36 Thlang kqeng ce cehta unawh, anih ce lawng khuiawh a awmnaak man na ceh pyi pahoei uhy.
And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.
37 Cawh khaw hli khung nawh tuibak ce lawng khuina kun saw lawng ce cum hlo hlo hy.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled.
38 Jesu taw lawng ang mai benna a lu doelh nawh ip hy. A hubatkhqi ing thawh unawh, a venawh, “Cawngpyikung kaimih tui awh ka ming cum hly ve kawna am nak poek nawh nu?” tina uhy.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?
39 Tho nawh, khawhli ce, “Sit nawh dym hlah!” tina hy. Cawh khawhli ce sit nawh a sitdik na awm boeih hy.
And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.
40 A hubatkhqi venawh, “Ikawtih vemyihna namik kqih lawnha aih? Cangnaak am nami ta hlan nawh nu?” tinak khqi hy.
And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet?
41 Cawh kqih unawh, “Ve ve a u nu ti ve? Khawhli ingkaw tuibak ingawm ak awi ngai pe zap hy!” ti uhy.
And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?
