Matthew 13
1 Later that day Jesus left the house, and sat down to teach beside the lake.
Te hnin ah Jesuh tah im lamloh cet tih tuili kaengah ngol.
2 So many people gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down there to teach, while all the crowds stood on the beach.
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 He explained many things to them, using stories as illustrations. “The sower went out to sow,” he began.
Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah neh muep a thui tih, “Cangti aka haeh tah cangti haeh la cet ne,
4 “As he was sowing, some of the seeds fell on the path. The birds came and ate them up.
Cangti a haeh vaengah a ngen te longpuei ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
5 Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth where they sprouted quickly.
Angen tah lungrhong dongah tla tih, laimen muep a om pawt dongah tlek poe. Tedae laimen a dung la aom moenih.
6 The sun rose and scorched them and they withered because they had no roots.
A yung a om pawt dongah khomik ha thoeng vaengah tah a kaeng tih koh.
7 Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked them.
Angen tah hling khuiah tla tih hling te a rhoeng vaengah tah cang te a huep.
8 Still other seeds fell on good soil. They produced a harvest—some one hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what had been planted.
Tedae a ngen tah lai then dongah tla tih a thaih, a ngen yakhat, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen tah sawmthum la thaii.
9 Anybody who has ears should be listening!”
Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
10 The disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use illustrations when you speak to the people?”
Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Balae tih nuettahnah neh amih na voek?,” a ti na uh.
11 “You're privileged to have revealed to you the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but they're not given such insights,” Jesus replied.
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 “Those who already have will have more given to them, more than enough. But those who don't have, whatever they have will be taken away from them.
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 That's why I speak to them in illustrations. For even though they see, they do not see; and even though they hear, they do not hear; nor do they 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 The prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled in them: ‘Even though you hear, you won't understand, and even though you see, you won't perceive.
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 They have a hard-hearted attitude, they don't want to listen, and they've closed their eyes. If they didn't they might be able to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand in their minds. Then they could return to me 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 Your eyes are blessed, for they see. Your ears are blessed too, for they hear.
Tedae nangmih kah mik loh a hmuh tih na hna loh a yaak dongah a yoethen.
17 I'm telling you, many prophets and good people longed to see what you're seeing, but didn't see it. They longed to hear what you're hearing, but didn't 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 So listen to the story of the sower.
“Te dongah nangmih loh cangti aka tuh kah nuettahnah he hnatun uh.
19 When people hear the message about the kingdom and don't understand it, the evil one comes along and rips out what was sown in them. This is what happens to the seeds sown on 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 seeds sown on stony ground are people who hear the message and happily accept it straight away.
Lungrhong sokah a haeh te tah ol te a yaak vaengah omngaihnah neh tlek aka doe ni.
21 They last for a while, but because they don't have roots, when problems and troubles come, they quickly fall 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 seeds sown among thorns are people who hear the message, but then life's worries and the temptation of money choke the message so that they become fruitless. (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 The seeds sown on good soil are people who hear the message, and understand it, and who produce a good harvest—some one hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown.”
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 Then he told them another illustrated story: “The kingdom of heaven is like a farmer who sowed good seeds 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 his workers were sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weed seeds on top of the wheat. Then they left.
Tedae hlang a ih vaengah a rhal ha pawk tih, cang lak ah paitaang a haeh phoeiah vik cet.
26 So when the wheat grew and produced ears of grain, the weeds also grew up.
Khopol te muem tih a vuei a thaih vaengah tah paitaang te khaw phoe.
27 The farmer's workers came and asked him, ‘Sir, didn't you sow good seeds in your field? Where 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 ‘Some enemy has done this,’ he replied. ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’ they asked him.
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 answered, ‘as you pull up the weeds, you might uproot the wheat too.
Tedae amah loh, 'Pawh, paitaang te na yoep uh vaenngah cang neh rhenten na phu uh ve?
30 Let them both grow until harvest, and then at harvest-time I'll tell the reapers to first gather the weeds, tie them up into bundles and burn them, and then gather the wheat and store it in 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 gave them another illustration: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a farmer sowed 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 Even though it's the tiniest of seeds it grows much bigger than other plants. In fact it grows into a tree big enough for birds to roost 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 another illustrated story: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman mixed with a large quantity of flour, until all the dough was raised.”
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 explained all these things to the crowds using illustrated stories—in fact he didn't speak to them without using stories.
Jesuh loh he rhoek boeih he nuettahnah neh hlangping taengah a thui. Nuettahnah pawt atah amih taengah ol a thui moenih.
35 This fulfilled the prophet's words: “I will speak using stories, and I will explain things hidden from the creation 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 he left the crowds and went into a house. His disciples came over to him, and asked him, “Please explain to us the story about 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 “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of man,” Jesus explained.
Te vaengah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Cangti then aka tuh tah hlang capa ni.
38 “The field is the world. The good seeds are the children of the kingdom. The weed seeds are the children 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 The enemy that sowed the weed seeds is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. The reapers 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)
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 gather up every sinful thing and everyone who does evil,
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 will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding 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 those who live right will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their father. Anybody with ears should be listening!
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. A man found it, reburied it, and then full of joy 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 The kingdom of heaven is also like a trader looking for good pearls.
Te phoeiah vaan ram tah laitha then aka toem hnoyoi hlang phek la om.
46 When he found the most expensive pearl ever he went 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 more, the kingdom of heaven is like a fishing net thrown into the sea that 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 it was dragged ashore. The good fish were put into baskets while the bad ones were thrown 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 That's the way it will be when the end of the world comes. The angels will go out and separate the evil people from the good, (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 blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding 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 Now do you understood everything?” “Yes,” they replied.
“He rhoek boeih he na hmuhming uh a?” a ti nah. Amah taengah, “Ue,” a ti uh.
52 “Every religious teacher who's learned about the kingdom of heaven is like a house-owner who brings out from his storeroom both new and old treasures,” Jesus said.
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 After Jesus finished telling these stories, he left.
Jesuh loh nuettahnah he bawt a khah tih te lamloh vik nong.
54 He went back to his home town and taught in the synagogue there. People were amazed, and asked, “Where does he get his wisdom and miracles from?
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 his brothers James, and Joseph, and 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 Don't his sisters live here among us? So where does he get all this from?”
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 so they refused to believe in him. “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his homeland and in his family,” Jesus told them.
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 Since they failed to trust in him, he did not do many miracles there.
Tedae amih kah hnalvalnah kongah a thaomnah muep tueng sak pawh.
