Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake 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 in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak he am hinkba khawjah a jah mthei,
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
“Ngai ua, mhmüp mat üng khyang mat mci saw khaia citki.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
A saw k’um üng, mci avang lam khana kyakia kyase, kha he naw jawng law u lü, ami ei.
5 And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they 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, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Nghngi lut law lü, khaw ngling law se, a pya am saükia kyase, ng’yawngki.
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
Mci avang nghling hmua kyaki, nghling saü law lü, yai se am vuipai thei.
8 And others fell on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
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, He that hath 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 in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
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 hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
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 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
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 saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Hina msuimcäpnak am nami ksingki aw? Acunüng ihawkba msuimcäpnak avan nami ksing thei kawm?
14 The sower soweth the word.
Mciksaw naw Mhnama ngthu a saw.
15 And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.
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 in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy,
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, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
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 others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
Khyang avang he cun nghling hmua sawa mci hea mäih lawki he. Acun he cun ngthu ngjaki he,
19 but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh 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 who are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
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 lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-stand?
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 secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.
Ipi ä ngdang khaia thup cun mdana kya law lü, ipi ä ngphyäü khaia mjih cun phyeha kya law khai.
23 If any one hath 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 ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
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 hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
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, Thus is the kingdom of God, as when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun khyang mat mci a loa sawki am tängki.
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows 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 itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain 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 puts itself forth, immediately he sends out 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 under what comparison shall we set it forth?
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun i am mtäng vai? Msuimcäpnak i am mtumtäng vai?
31 It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
Pamhnama khaw cun khyang mat naw khawmdek khana jaw säihki anca ui lo lü nglei üng a saw am tängki.
32 and when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
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 he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
Jesuh naw acunkba msuimcäpnak khawjah am ami ksing thei vaia ngthu a jah mtheh.
34 But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
Msuimcäpnaka kaa khyang hea veia ngthu am pyen khawi. Cunsepi, axüisaw he amimät ami awmnaka avan a jah mtheh be khai.
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith 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 leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.
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 heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
Acunüng, khawkhi ksenu khi law se tuimvawn cun mlawng üng be law hlüki.
38 And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
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 waves, 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 ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not 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, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves 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.
