Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
Te hnin ah Jesuh tah im lamloh cet tih tuili kaengah ngol.
2 Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
Te vaengah hlangping rhoek tah anih taengah muep tingtun uh. Te dongah amah tah lawng khuiah ngol hamla kun. Tedae hlangping tah tuikaeng ah boeih pai.
3 And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah neh muep a thui tih, “Cangti aka haeh tah cangti haeh la cet ne,
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Cangti a haeh vaengah a ngen te longpuei ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Angen tah lungrhong dongah tla tih, laimen muep a om pawt dongah tlek poe. Tedae laimen a dung la aom moenih.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
A yung a om pawt dongah khomik ha thoeng vaengah tah a kaeng tih koh.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
Angen tah hling khuiah tla tih hling te a rhoeng vaengah tah cang te a huep.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
Tedae a ngen tah lai then dongah tla tih a thaih, a ngen yakhat, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen tah sawmthum la thaii.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Balae tih nuettahnah neh amih na voek?,” a ti na uh.
11 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Vaan ram kah olhuep ming sak ham nangmih taengah m'paek coeng dae te rhoek taengah a paek moenih.
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.
Aka khueh te tah a paek thil vetih a coih pah ni. Tedae aka khueh pawt te a khueh duen pataeng te a taeng lamkah loh a lat pah ni.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
Te dongah ni amih taengah nuettahnah neh ka thui pah. A hmuh uh dae hmat uh pawh. A hnatun uh dae ya uh pawt tih hmuhming uh pawh.
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.
Te dongah Isaiah kah tonghma ol te amih taengah,' Hnavue neh na yaak uh vetih na hmuhming uh loengloeng mahpawh. Na hmuh tah na hmuh uh vetih na hmat uh loengloeng mahpawh.
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.’
Pilnam kah thinko he tah a talh pah coeng. Te dongah hna neh a hnatun uh tloel tih a mik khaw a him uh. A mik neh a hmuh uh tih, hna neh a yaak uh, a thinko neh hmuhming uh tih ha bal uh koinih amih te ka hoeih sak ni,” a ti te soep coeng.
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
Tedae nangmih kah mik loh a hmuh tih na hna loh a yaak dongah a yoethen.
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.
Rhep kan thui, tonghma rhoek boeih neh hlang dueng rhoek loh na hmuh uh te hmuh a hue uh dae hmu uh pawh, na yaak uh te yaak ham akhaw a yaak uh moenih.
18 Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
“Te dongah nangmih loh cangti aka tuh kah nuettahnah he hnatun uh.
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.
Ram kah olka te a yaak dae aka hmuhming pawt boeih tah, rhaithae loh ha pawk atah a thinko ah tuh tangtae a poel a yoe pah. Te tah longpuei kah a haeh coeng te ni.
20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
Lungrhong sokah a haeh te tah ol te a yaak vaengah omngaihnah neh tlek aka doe ni.
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.
Tedae a khuiah a yung a khueh pawt dongah kolkalh ni a om. Tedae olka kongah hnaemtaeknah neh phacipphabaem a om vaengah voeng a khah.
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)
Hling laklikah a tuh tah ol te aka ya la om dae dilai kah mawntangnah neh khuehtawn kah hmilhmaknah loh ol te a thing tih a tlongtlai la poeh. (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.”
Tedae lai then sokah a tuh tah ol te a yaak tih aka hmuhming la om. Anih tah a ngen yakhat, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen thumkip la vuei tih thaihtak,” a ti nah.
24 Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
A tloe nuettahnah te amih a paek tih, “Vaan ram tah amah lo ah cangti then aka tuh hlang neh vai uh.
25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
Tedae hlang a ih vaengah a rhal ha pawk tih, cang lak ah paitaang a haeh phoeiah vik cet.
26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
Khopol te muem tih a vuei a thaih vaengah tah paitaang te khaw phoe.
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?’
Te vaengah a sal rhoek loh a kungmah te a paan uh tih, “Boeipa, na lo ah cangti then na haeh moenih a? Tedae paitaang aka om he me lamkah lae?” a ti nah.
28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
Te vaengah amih te, “He tah rhal hlang loh a saii,” a ti nah. Te dongah sal rhoek loh a taengah, “Ka cet uh vetih te te yoep sak ham na ngaih a?” a ti na uh.
29 ‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
Tedae amah loh, 'Pawh, paitaang te na yoep uh vaenngah cang neh rhenten na phu uh ve?
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.’”
Cangah duela bok rhoeng sak mai. Cangah tue ah cangat rhoek te, 'Paitaang te lamhma la yoep uh lamtah hoeh hamla a pok la pok uh, tedae cang te tah kai kah khai khuila khoem uh, 'ka ti nah bitni,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
31 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
A tloe nuettahnah amih a paek tih, “Vaan ram tah mukang mu phek la om, te te hlang loh a loh tih a lo ah a tue.
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.”
Te te a mu aka om boeih lakah yiit. Tedae a rhoeng vaengah toian aka om boeih lakah tanglue tih thing la poeh. Te daengah ni vaan kah vaa loh ha pawk uh tih a hlaeng dongah bu a tuk,” a ti nah.
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.”
A tloe nuettahnah neh amih te, “Vaan ram tah tolrhu phek la om. Te te huta loh a loh tih vaidam khoi thum khuiah a hlum vaengah boeih a rhoi sak,” a ti nah.
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
Jesuh loh he rhoek boeih he nuettahnah neh hlangping taengah a thui. Nuettahnah pawt atah amih taengah ol a thui moenih.
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.”
Te daengah ni tonghma loh a phong, “Nuettahnah neh ka ka ka ong vetih Diklai a tongnah lamloh a thuhphah te ka phoe ni,” a ti te a soep eh.
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.”
Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah im khuila kun. Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh tih, “Lo kah paitaang nuettahnah te kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
37 He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Cangti then aka tuh tah hlang 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,
Lohma tah Diklai ni. Te phoeiah cangti then tah ram kah a ca rhoek ni. Tedae paitaang tah rhaithae kah a ca rhoek 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)
Te te aka haeh rhal te tah rhaithae ni. Cangah tue tah lunglai tue a bawtnah ni. Cangat rhoek tah puencawn rhoek 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)
Te dongah paitaang a yoep uh tih hmai neh a hoeh bangla kumhal kah a bawtnah dongah om van ni. (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.
Hlang capa loh a puencawn rhoek te a tueih ni. Te vaengah thangkui neh olaeknah aka saii rhoek boeih te a ram lamloh a bit uh ni.
42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Te phoeiah amih te hmai alh khuila a phum uh ni. Te rhoek ah rhah neh, no rhuengnah nen ni a om eh.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Te vaengah aka dueng rhoek tah Pa kah ram ah khomik bangla sae uh ni. Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
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.
Vaan ram tah lohma ah a thuh sut khohrhang phek la om. Te te hlang loh a hmuh vaengah a thuh tih a omngaihnah neh cet. Te phoeiah a khueh boeih te a yoih tih te kah lohmuen te a lai.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
Te phoeiah vaan ram tah laitha then aka toem hnoyoi hlang phek la om.
46 When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
Laitha a phu aka tlo pakhat la a hmuh dongah, a caeh neh a khueh boeih te a yoih tih a lai.
47 Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
Vaan ram tah tuili khuila lawk aka voei bangla om bal tih namtu cungkuem lamkah khaw a coi.
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.
Te te a bae vaengah lihmoi la a kawt uh. Te phoeiah ngol uh tih a then te busui khuila a sang uh. Tedae a thae te tah phawn a voeih uh.
49 So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Kumhal kah a bawtnah dongah om van ni. Puencawn rhoek loh cet uh vetih aka dueng lakli kah boethae rhoek te a hoep ni. (aiōn g165)
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Te phoeiah amih te hmai alh khuila a voeih uh ni. Te hmuen ah rhah neh no rhuengnah ni aka om eh.,” a ti nah.
51 Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
“He rhoek boeih he na hmuhming uh a?” a ti nah. Amah taengah, “Ue,” a ti uh.
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.”
Te dongah amih taengah, “Vaan ram kah aka bang cadaek boeih tah a khohrhang khuikah a rhuem neh a thai aka pok hlang imkung phek la om,” a ti nah.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
Jesuh loh nuettahnah he bawt a khah tih te lamloh vik nong.
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.
Te phoeiah amah tolrhum la pawk tih amamih kah tunim ah amih te a thuituen hatah let uh tih, “Anih kah cueihnah neh a thaomnah he me lamkah nim?
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?
“Anih he kutthai capa la aom moenih a? A manu tah Mary la a khue uh moenih a? A mana rhoek khaw James, Josephb, Simon, Judah ta.
56 Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
A ngannu rhoek khaw mamih taengah boeih a om uh moenih a? Te dongah anih taengkah boeih he me lamkah nim?” a ti uh.
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.”
Tedae anih kongah amamih te a khah uh. Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Tonghma he amah im neh amah kah tolrhum pawt atah sawtsit ti om pawh,” a ti nah.
58 And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
Tedae amih kah hnalvalnah kongah a thaomnah muep tueng sak pawh.
