Mark 4
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
Acunüng, Kalile tuili peia jah mthei be se, khyang khawjah a veia ngcun lawki he. Acunüng lawkia khyang he cun aktäa dämda u se, Jesuh mlawnga khana kai lü ngawki. Khyang avan tui kama tuinu ma na u lü, ngkhäm lawki he.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak he am hinkba khawjah a jah mthei,
3 Listen; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
“Ngai ua, mhmüp mat üng khyang mat mci saw khaia citki.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
A saw k’um üng, mci avang lam khana kyakia kyase, kha he naw jawng law u lü, ami ei.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
Mci avang nglei am a danak bäk, lunga danaka kyaki. Nglei am thahkia kyase angxita pyo lawki.
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Nghngi lut law lü, khaw ngling law se, a pya am saükia kyase, ng’yawngki.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mci avang nghling hmua kyaki, nghling saü law lü, yai se am vuipai thei.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
Cunsepi, mci avang nglei kdaw üng kyaki, cawt law lü, saü law lü, avang thumkip, khyukip la aphyaa ngtheipai lawki,” a ti.
9 And he said to them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Akbäihnaka Jesuh naw, “A ngjaknak vaia a nghnga taki naw ngja se,” a ti.
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
Jesuh amät a ve üng, xaleinghngih he la akce läk hngaki he naw a veia law u lü msuimcäpnaka suilam a jah mtheh vaia ami kthäh.
11 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 these things are done in parables:
Jesuh naw, “Nangmia phäha ta, Pamhnama khawa mawng athukhlüng ksingnak vai ning jah peta kya ve, Cunsepi khyang kce hea phäha avan msuimcäpnak am pyena kyaki.
12 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.
Acunakyase, ‘Teng u lü pi, am hmu u, ngja u lü pi, am ksing u. Hmu ngja u lü Pamhnama veia ami nghlat be vai sü ta ani naw jah mhlät khai sü,” a ti.
13 And he said to them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Hina msuimcäpnak am nami ksingki aw? Acunüng ihawkba msuimcäpnak avan nami ksing thei kawm?
14 The sower sows the word.
Mciksaw naw Mhnama ngthu a saw.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Acunüng, avang he cun lam kpema kyaki mci hea mäih lawki he, ngthu ami ngai la khawyam naw law lü ngthu cun a lawhei.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
Khyang avang he cun lunga danaka kyaki mci hea mäih lawki he. Ngthu ami ngjak üng jekyainak am doeiki he.
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution rises for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
Cunsepi, amimät üng apya am ve se, ivei am khäng. Acun käna thangkdaw phäha, mkhuimkhanaka pi kyase, khuikhanaka pi kyase, a pha law üng pyai beki he.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
Khyang avang he cun nghling hmua sawa mci hea mäih lawki he. Acun he cun ngthu ngjaki he,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
cunsepi khawmdek cäicanak he, bawimangnak vai mnaiheinak la iyaw akce kce mnaiheinak he naw ngthu cun yai law u se, am vuipai thei. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty times, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Cunsepi khyang kce he cun nglei kdaw üng sawa mci hea mäih lawki he. Acun he cun ngthu ngja u lü doeiki he, acunüng avang thumkip, avang khyukip, avang aphya vuipai lawki he,” a ti.
21 And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
Acuna thea Jesuh naw, “Mei kdäi u naw lawpüi lü kphya k’uma, am ani üng ihnaka kea thup khawiki aw? Angdangnaka vai khaia am ta khai aw?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Ipi ä ngdang khaia thup cun mdana kya law lü, ipi ä ngphyäü khaia mjih cun phyeha kya law khai.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
A ngjaknak vaia a nghnga awmki naw ngja se,” a ti.
24 And he said to them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.
Jesuh naw, “Nami ngjak cäi na ua! Khyang nami mtehnak am Mhnam naw ning jah mteh be khai, acuna kthaka pi ning jah mteh be khai.
25 For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.
Upi taki üng pet däm däma kya lü, upi am taki cun a takca pi yuh pet bea kya khai,” a ti.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun khyang mat mci a loa sawki am tängki.
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knows not how.
Mciksaw mthana ip lü mhmüpa tho lawki. Acun k’um üng mci cun pawk law lü ngbang lawki. Cunsepi ihawkba akya law am ksing.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Nglei amät naw vuipaiei lawsak khawiki. Akcüka aphung, avui, acunüng avui üngka naw akcang ngdang law khawiki.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Avui a hmin law la, khyang naw cang ah kcünkia kyase, angxita ngvinca am atki,” a ti.
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun i am mtäng vai? Msuimcäpnak i am mtumtäng vai?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Pamhnama khaw cun khyang mat naw khawmdek khana jaw säihki anca ui lo lü nglei üng a saw am tängki.
32 But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Cunsepi asäng ngsawk se, a cawt law üng loa sawngling avana kthaka ngbangbu law lü ngban mah law se kha he naw law u lü ami ngbu ami tuknak khawi,” a ti.
33 And with many such parables spoke he the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Jesuh naw acunkba msuimcäpnak khawjah am ami ksing thei vaia ngthu a jah mtheh.
34 But without a parable spoke he not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
Msuimcäpnaka kaa khyang hea veia ngthu am pyen khawi. Cunsepi, axüisaw he amimät ami awmnaka avan a jah mtheh be khai.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he says to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
Acuna mhmüp khaw a mü law üng, Jesuh naw axüisaw he üng, “Tuilia caye lama mi va pek vai u,” a ti.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
Acuna, khyang he akdäm jah yawk hüt u lü, Jesuh mlawng üng ngaw se ami cehpüi. Akce mlawngca he pi acunüng awmki he.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
Acunüng, khawkhi ksenu khi law se tuimvawn cun mlawng üng be law hlüki.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, care you not that we perish?
Jesuh cun ngkhumnak üng ngkhumei lü mlawnga hnu lama ip lü ve se axüisaw he naw, “Saja aw, mi thih vai hin am na cäinaki aw?” ti u lü ami mthawh.
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Jesuh naw tho law lü khawkhi kse üng, “Ngdüma!” ti lü a mtheh. Acunüng tuimvawn üng, “Pyaia” ti se avan ngdüm lawki he.
40 And he said to them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?
Acunüng Jesuh naw axüisaw he a veia, “I vaia nami kyükyawk aihki ni? Ise jumnak am nami taki ni?” a ti.
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Cunsepi kyü law ngen u lü, “Khawkhi la tuimvawn naw pi a mtheh ani ngjak hin ia khyang ni?” tia ngthehei kyuki he.
