Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
Acuna mhnüp üng, Jesuh im üngkhyüh cit lü tuilia kama jah mthei khaia ngawki.
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
Ani ngbum lawki khyangpäe nung u se ta Jesuh mlawnga khana kai lü a ngaw üng, khyangpäe cun tuili kama ngdüikie.
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnake am ngthu pyen lü, “Ahlana mci saw khaia khyang mat citki.”
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Acukba a phuh hü üng, mci avang lama kya se khae naw ami ei u.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Avang lunga danak, nglei a ngceknaka kya se akjanga cawt lawki.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
Khaw so law lü ngling law se, apya am vekia kya lü ngjaiei päihki.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
Mci avang nghlinga ksunga kya se nghling naw saü law lü a jah yaiin.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
Cunsepi, mci avang ngleia dawnaka kya se daw lü, avang aphya, avang khyukip, avang thumkipa ngtheipai lawki.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
Aupi a ngjaknak vai a nghnga veki naw ngja se” a ti.
10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
Acunüng axüisaw he Jesuha veia law u lü, “Khyang he am na ngthuei üng ivaia msuimcäpnake na jah sumeiki ni?” ti lü ami kthäh u.
11 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
Jesuh naw, “Nangmi cun Khankhaw Pea küia mawng ksingnak ka ning jah mtheh päng ni, amimi üng ta am jah mtheh nawng” a ti.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Takia khyang üng a tak law dämdäm vaia petsih vai. I pi am taki üng a tak naküt pi hutei be vai.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
Ami veia msuimcäpnak am ngthu ka pyen hin teng kyaw u lü pi am hmu u, ngai kyaw u lü pi am ngjakya u.
14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
Acunakyase sahma Hesajah naw Hina khyang he naw ngai lü ngaikie, cunüngpi am ngjakya u; teng lü tengkie, cunüngpi am hmu u,
15 For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
Isetiüng ami mlung nghlangkia kyase, ami nghnga naw am ngja ti, ami mik naw am hmu ti. Ami mik naw hmu lü, ami nghnga naw a ngjak vai sü ta, ami mlung üng ngjakya khaie sü, acunüng ka veia nghlat law be u se, ka jah mdaw be vai sü” a pyen khawi.
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
Nangmi ta nami mik naw hmuh lü nami nghnga naw ngja se nami kam daw ve.
17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, sahma khawkän ja Pamhnama khyang he naw nami hmuh hin hmuh hlü u lü pi am hmuh khawh u, nami ngjak hin ngja hlü u lü pi am ngja hüt u.
18 Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
Acunakyase, mciksaw msuimcäpnak üng pyen hlü hin ngai lü ngthei ua.
19 When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
Khankhaw Pea mawng ngthu ngja lü am ngjakyaki cun lama khana kyaki mci am tängki ni. Khawyaipa naw law lü a mlung k’uma sawnglin cun a lawheiin pet.
20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
Lunga khana kyaki mci cun ngthu ngja lü jekyainak am a ngjak ja dokhameiki.
21 But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
Acunüngpi am phungpya mahkia kyase khawvei am kham. Acun ngthua phäh khuikhatnak ja mkhuimkhanak apha law üng pyaiei beki.
22 The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Nghling hmua kyakia mci cun Mhnama ngthu ngja kyawki, khawmdeka cäicingnak ja bawimangnak naw a mhleia phäh a ngthu ngjak cun kpyeh se, am ngtheipai lü veeiki. (aiōn g165)
23 But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”
Ngleia dawnak üng kyakia mci cun ta ngthu ngja lü ngjakyaki: acunüng ngtheipaikie, avang aphya, akhäk khyukip ja amsah thumkipa ngtheipai bekie” a ti.
24 Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Msuimcäpnak akce a jah mtheh betü ta, “Khankhaw Pe cun a loa mci kdaw sawki khyang mat am tängki ni.
25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
Khyang he ami ih k'um mthan mat üng, ye naw law lü mci kdawa ksunga mci kse saw lü akcea citinki.
26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
Cang pyo law lü a vuipai law üng, mphyaw pi ngdang lawki.
27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
A mpyae naw law u lü amahpaa veia, “Angvai aw, na lo üng mcikdaw va na saw am niki aw? Hawia khyüh hina mphyawe po lawki he ni? ti lü a kthäh.
28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
Lomah naw, “Yee naw ahikba ami pawh ni” a ti. A mpyae naw lomah üng cit lü kami jah phukin vai aw? ami ti.
29 ‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
Lomah naw, “Kaa, mphyaw nami phuk üng cangkdaw pi nami phuksih khai ni.”
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”
“Cang ah veia ani nghngih veei yüm ni se. Cang ah law üng mphyawe cun jah phu ma lü mei üng jah mkhih vai ja, cange cun jah at hnga u lü, ka kheia ami tak vaia cangk'at he üng ka jah mtheh khai,” ti lü a pyen.
31 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak akce a jah mtheh betü cun, “Khankhaw Pe cun khyang naw anca ui cehpüi lü a loa a phuha mäi ni,”
32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
Anca ui cun mciui naküt üng akdik säiha kya lü pi a cawt law üng, kpue naküt kthaka ngbaü lawki. A thinga thawn law se khae naw pi law u lü, a kpyang üng ngbu tuhei law khawikie,” a ti.
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
Msuimcäpnak mat a jah mtheh betü cun, “Khankhaw Pe cun nghnumi mat naw nghngen lo lü khai tawng kthum üng kcaw se, khai kphawm lawki üng tängki ni,” a ti.
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak am khyangpäe üng ngthu jah mthehki; msuimcäpnaka kaa i am pyen.
35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
Sahma naw a pyen khawi, “Msuimcäpnak am amimia veia ngthu ka pyen khai; khawmdek mhnünmceng üngka naw khyüngthupe ka jah mtheh khai,” ti aküm lawnaka kyaki.
36 Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
Jesuh naw khyangpä cun akcea jah ceh ta lü im k’uma lut se, axüisaw he a veia law u lü, “Loa mphyawa mawng msuimcäpnaka suilam i ni, jah mtheha” ami ti.
37 He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
Jesuh naw, “Mcikdaw sawki cun Khyanga Capa ni.”
38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
Lo cun khawmdek ni, mcikdawe cun Khankhaw Pea ca hea kya u lü, mphyawe cun Khawyama ca he ni.
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. (aiōn g165)
Mphyaw sawki ye cun Khawyam ni. Cang ah kcün cun khawmdeka päihnaka mhnüp ni, cang atkie cun khankhawngsä he ni. (aiōn g165)
40 As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
Acukba mphyawe jah mcun lü mei üng ami jah mkhiha mäiha, akcün päih law üng thawn law khai. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.
Khyanga Capa naw a khankhawngsä he jah tüih law se, acun he naw a Khankhaw Pe üng khyang he jah mkhyekatsakie ja akse pawhkie avan cun jah mkhäm khai,
42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Kyap u lü ami mnicui hakyet khai hea mulai mei kdäi üng jah xawt law khaie.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Acunüng Pamhnam ca he ta khawnghngia deikhanga mäiha ami Paa Khankhaw Pea kdeikhang khaie. Na nghnga a ve üng ngjaa!
44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Khankhaw Pe cun loa thupa khawhthem üng tängki ni. Khyang mat naw acuna khawh cun hmu lü thup beki naw, jekyai lü a tak naküt va jawi lü a yah lawa ngui am acuna lo cun a khyäih.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
Acunkäna, Khankhaw Pe cun aphu küiki lungtaü kdaw sui hü lü kunpanki khyang mat veki.
46 When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
Acuna lungtaü a hmuh üng a tak naküt jawi päih lü acuna lungtaü cun a khyäih am tängki ni.
47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
Khankhaw Pe cun ngvai am pi tängki ni. Ngaksui avang naw tuia ami ngvai ami vawih üng nga amjüküm ng’awki.
48 When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
Ngvai cun nga beei se kawnga kaih u lü nga cun ami ngawh sawa phyäihkie: nga kdawe cun cä üng jah xawn u lü, am dawkia ngakse naküt cun ami jah xawtin.
49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Acukba akcüna päih law üng thawn law khai: khankhawngsä he naw law u lü khyang ngsungpyunea ksunga khyangkae cun jah xü khai. (aiōn g165)
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Kyap lü ami mnicui hakyet khai hea, mulai meikdäia jah xawtin vai” a ti.
51 Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
Jesuh naw, “Ahin he hin nami jah ngjakyaki aw?” ti se, “Ä, kami ngjakyaki ni” ami ti.
52 Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
Jesuh naw, “Acunakyase Khankhaw Pea mawng mtheiki thum mthei he naküt cun immahpa naw a im k’uma ka khawh akthai ja akphyüm a cümnak üngka naw loki am tängki ni,” a ti.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
Jesuh naw acuna msuimcäpnake a jah mtheh päng üng, acuna hnün hawih lü,
54 Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.
A hminak mlüha cit beki. Sinakoka k’uma jah mtheimthang se ngja lü müncan ngenkie. “Ahina themngvainak müncankse pawhnaka johit hin hawia a jah yah ni?” ami ti.
55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
Imksaa ca am ni mä? A nu pi Marih, a benae pi Jakuk, Josep, Sihmon ja Judah ami ti am nikie mä?
56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
A cinae am pi ahia awmki he am ni mä? Hawia ka hin naw ahikba johit hin a jah yah hü ni? ami ti.
57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
Acukba Jesuh cun ami ma. Jesuh naw, “Sahma cun hnün naküt üng leisawngkie ni, a hminak a khaw ja a imbunga ni am leisawngnak a yah khawi,” a ti.
58 And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
Am jumkiea kyase acuia müncankse i am pawh.
