Matthew 13
1 Tua ni ma in Jesus inn pan pusuak in, tuili hui ah to hi.
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 Mihon pi te ama kung ah hong ki kaikhop ngawp ciang in, ngunkuang sung ah tuaksuk in, to hi; taciang in mihonpi theampo sia tuili hui ah ding tek uh hi.
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 Taciang in sontena te zang in thu tampi son a; En vun, thaici poai pa thaici poai tu in hongpai hi;
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 A poai ciang in, thaici pawlkhat te sia lamzin tung ah tak a, tungleang te hongpai in nekhawng siat hi:
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Pawlkhat te sia suang tam in, leidai na mun ah tak hi: tawmvei sung in hong po pai hi, banghangziam cile lei thuk ngawl hi:
And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Tabang in ni hong sua ciang, nisa in kang a; zungthuk nei ngawl ahikom in vuai in ngawtak siat hi.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Pawlkhat te sia lingphung sung ah tak a; lingkung te khang in zapcip siat hi:
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 A dang te sia leipha na sung ah tak a, pawlkhat te a se zakhat, pawlkhat te sia a se sawmluk, pawlkhat te sia a se sawm thum in khang hi.
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Zak natu bil nei peuma in, za tahen, ci hi.
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 Taciang in nungzui te Jesus kung ah hongpai a, banghang in sontena taw thuson ni ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 Jesus in, Banghangziam cile, vantung kumpingam thuku heak thei na sia note hong kipia zo hikale, mipi te ki pia ngawl lai hi.
And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 Banghangziam cile, a neite ki pia thua tu a, a dimlet in nei tu hi: ahihang a nei ngawl te kung pan in a neisun zong ki laksak lai tu hi.
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Tua ahikom amate tung ah sontena te taw thuson khi hi: banghangziam cile amate sia en napi mu ngawl; ngai napi za ngawl in tel zong tel thei ngawl uh hi.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 Kamsang Isaiah in maisangthu a sonkholna ah, note sia za napi na tel bua uh hi; mu tu hi napi, kan tel ngawl nu hi, a ci thu amate tung ah tangtung hi.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but not perceive.
15 Banghangziam cile, hi minam te sia a mit te khua mu ngawl, a bil te khuaza ngawl, a thinsung in bangma tel thei ngawl in, a nuntak na uh zong ki kheal ngawl hang in, a natna te zong ka damsak ngawl zadong in, amate sia a thinpui lei a, a bil uh in khua za hak bek domngawl in a mit uh zong thi siat hi.
For the heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
16 Ahizong, note sia na mit in mu a: na bil zong in za ahikom in thuphatoai na hi uh hi.
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 A tatak ka ci ciang, na mu uh le na zak uh te kamsang te le mi thutang te in mu nuam mama napi, mu tha ngawl hi; za nuam mama napi, za tha ngawl hi.
For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Tuahang in thaici poaipa thu sontena sia ngai vun.
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 Lamzin tung ah atak thaici i khiakna sia, khatpo in kumpingam thu za a, tel thei ngawl hi, taciang mi pha ngawl pa hongpai in, a thinsung ah a ki poai thaici sia laksak hi.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20 Suangtam na mun ah a tak thaici sia, thu a zak pociang lungdamtak in a sang te hi;
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 Ahihang zungthuk tha ngawl ahikom, tawmvei sung bek khom in: tua thu hang in haksatna le vawtsiatna a thet ciang, tawlnga kik pai hi.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 Lingphung sung a tak thaici te sia, thu za napi; hileitung thinngimna, leitung hauna i theamna in tua thu zapcip a, nga zo ngawl hi. (aiōn g165)
And what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Leipha na ah a tak thaici te sia, thu za a, a telthiam te hi; tua te in a nga hong nga a, pawlkhat te a se zakhat, pawlkhat te a se sawmluk, pawlkhat te a se sawmthum ciang dong khang hi.
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
24 Jesus in amate tung ah sontena adang khat son thua a, Vantung kumpingam sia pasal khat in a lo sung ah thaici pha a cing taw kibang hi:
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 Hi kale, ngual mut lan in, a ngal pa hongpai a, zungtang sung ah mimphei ci a poai zawkciang, ciakik hi.
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 Thaici hong po in, tanghui te hong luak ciang in, mimphei te hong kilang hi.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 Tabang ahiciang, naseam te inteakpa kung ah hongpai a, Topa awng, na losung ah thaici pha poai hi ngawl ni ziam? koisung pan hi mimphei te hong theng ziam? ci in dong hi.
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
28 Innteakpa in hite sia ka ngalpa i vawt a hihi, ci hi. A naseam te in ama kung ah, pai in mimphei te ka bot tu uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29 Ahihang inteakpa in, bot heak vun; banghangziam cile mimphei te na baw uh ciang, zungtang te taw bot khawm tha tu nu hi, ci hi.
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
30 Anlak hun dong khang khawm phot tahen, anlak hun ciang in mimphei te khawm masa vun a, na lom hen zawk uh ciang hal vun: ahihang zungtang te a hile seau sung ah thun vun, ci in anla te ka ci tu hi, ci hi.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 Jesus in sontena dang khat ma a son thua na ah, Vantung kumpingam sia pasal khat in ankam cii la in, lo sung ah a poai taw kibang hi:
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 Tua thaici sia thaici theampo sung pan a nobel hi: ahihang hong khan ciang in ante teng sung pan a lianbel hong suak a, a kung hong suak hi, tua hu in van a vacim te zong hongpai in a bak te tung ah tawlnga hi, ci hi.
which indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
33 Jesus in amate tung ah sontena dang khat a son thu sia; Vantung kumpingam sia nupi khat in tol tawm a lak sia, anvui law thum sung ah hel a, tua tol tawm cilik in anvui theampo a pawmsak siat taw kibang hi, ci hi.
He spoke another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened."
34 Jesus in hi sontena te zang in mipite tung ah thuson hi: sontena zang ngawl in thuson ngeingawl hi:
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 Kamsang i sonkholna ah, amate tung ah sontena te zang in thuson tu khi hi; leitung bulpi a ki phu panin thuku sia amate tung ah pualak tu khi hi, ci thu a tangtunna tu hi.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 Tua zawkciang Jesus in mihonpi te ciasak a, innsung ah a tum uh ciang: a nungzui te a kung ah hongpai in, losung a mimphei thu sontena sia hong son tan, ci uh hi.
Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 Jesus in, Thaici pha a poai sia mihing Tapa hi;
And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 Lo sia leitung bup hi; thaici pha sia kumpingam tate a hihi; ahihang mimphei te sia mi pha ngawl pa tate a hihi;
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children of the evil one,
39 Mimphei cii a poai ngalpa sia doaimangpa hi; anlak hun sia leitung bo hun hi a; anla te sia vantungmi te a hihi. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Tua ahikom mimphei te sia khawm in, mei taw hal siat hi; tasiabangma in hileitung a bo ciang in piang tu hi. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mihing Tapa in, Ama vantungmi te sawl tu a, mi a khialsak te le siatna a vawt te ama ukna sung pan kaikhawm tu hi;
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
42 Tua te sia kaa na le hangoaina mun mei sung ah khiasuk tuh hi.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 Taciang in mipha te sia a Pa uh i ukna sung ah ni bang in tang tu uh hi. Zak natu bil nei theampo in za tahen.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 Vantung kumpingam thu sia, losung ah a ki sealcip na manpha taw kibang hi; tua neisa sia khatpo in a mu ciang in, phual a, lungdam mama in a neisa theampo zuak hi, taciang tua lo lei hi.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45 Vantung kumpingam sia a manham pale a zong sumleang pa taw kibang hi:
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 Ama in a manham pale khat a mu ciang in, a neisa theampo zuak in, lei hi.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Vantung kumpingam thu sia tuipi sung ah a ki pai, ngasa tatuam a awk ngen taw kibang hi:
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 A ngen a dim ciang in tuihui ah kai a, a to kawm in teal hi, ngasa pha te bawm sung ah heang a, a pha ngawl te sia vawk hi.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 Hi leitung bo ciang in tabangma hi tu hi: vantungmi te hongpai in, mipha te sung pan in mi pha ngawl te khen tu a, (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Kaana le hangoaina mun meisung ah khia tu hi, ci in zo hi.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 Jesus in, Hi thu te theampo na tel zo uh ziam? ci in dong hi, amate in tel khu hi, Topa, ci in zo kik uh hi.
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
52 Jesus in amate tung ah, Tua ahikom, vantung kumpingam atu in a ki hil thukhamhil te sia, a neisa a lui le a thak a vekpi in a pusua inn neipa taw kibang hi.
And he said to them, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
53 Jesus in hi sontena te a son zawkciang tua mun pan in pusuak hi.
And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 Ama ngamsung a tum ciang in, amate i synagogue sung ah thuhil a, amate in lamdangsa mama in, hibang ciimna le vangletna nei nasep te sia koisung pan nga ziam?
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Ama sia lettama pa tapa hi ngawl ziam? Mary sia a nu hi ngawl ziam? James, Joses, Simon le Judah te zong a suapui te hi ngawl ziam?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 A suapui nu te zong i kung ma ah hong om hi ngawl ziam? koisung pan hisia pa in hite theampo nga ziam? ci uh hi.
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 Amate sia Jesus hang in tha neam uh hi. Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Kamsang sia ama ngamsung le a innkuan sung simngawl mundang ah ki upat hi, ci hi.
And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
58 Amate i up ngawlna hang in, tua mun ah vanglian nasep tam seam ngawl hi.
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
