Mark 4
1 And, again, began he to be teaching by the sea; and there come together unto him a very great multitude, so that, he, into a boat, entering, was sitting upon the sea, —and, all the multitude, were, near the sea upon 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 began to teach them, in parables, many things, and was saying unto them, in his teaching—
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak he am hinkba khawjah a jah mthei,
3 Hearken! Lo! the 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, indeed, fell by the pathway, and the birds came, and devoured it;
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 the rocky places, [even] where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang forth, by reason of its not having depth of earth;
Mci avang nglei am a danak bäk, lunga danaka kyaki. Nglei am thahkia kyase angxita pyo lawki.
6 and, when the sun arose, it was scorched, —and, by reason of its not having root, it was dried up;
Nghngi lut law lü, khaw ngling law se, a pya am saükia kyase, ng’yawngki.
7 And, some, fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and, fruit, it yielded not;
Mci avang nghling hmua kyaki, nghling saü law lü, yai se am vuipai thei.
8 And, other, fell into the good ground, and was yielding fruit, coming up and growing, —and was bearing, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold,
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 was saying—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 alone they who were about him with the twelve questioned him as to 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 was saying unto them—To you, the sacred secret hath been given of the kingdom of God, whereas, to them who are outside, in parables are all things coming to pass, —that
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 They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it 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 saith unto them—Know ye not this parable? How then will ye get to 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 beside the pathway where the word is sown, —and, as soon as they hear, straightway, cometh Satan, and snatcheth away the word which hath been sown into 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 are likewise they upon the rocky places sown, —who, as soon as they hear the word, straightway, with joy receive it,
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, only for a season are, —afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;
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 who among thorns are sown, —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 and, the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of wealth, and the covetings about the remaining things, entering in, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh; (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 those yonder are they who on the good ground are sown, —who, indeed, hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit—thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.
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 was saying unto them—Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put?
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 it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.
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 was saying unto them—Be taking heed what ye are hearing: —with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you, and added unto 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, it shall be given, unto him, and, he that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him.
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 was saying—Thus, is the kingdom of God: As a man may cast seed upon the earth,
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun khyang mat mci a loa sawki am tängki.
27 and be sleeping and rising, night and day, —and the seed be sprouting, and lengthening itself, —how, he, knoweth not:
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 of itself, the earth beareth fruit, —first, a blade, afterwards, an ear, after that, full corn in the ear;
Nglei amät naw vuipaiei lawsak khawiki. Akcüka aphung, avui, acunüng avui üngka naw akcang ngdang law khawiki.
29 but, as soon as the fruit yieldeth itself up, straightway, he sendeth forth the sickle, because standing by is the harvest.—
Avui a hmin law la, khyang naw cang ah kcünkia kyase, angxita ngvinca am atki,” a ti.
30 And he was saying—How shall we liken the kingdom of God, or, in what parable, shall we put it?
Jesuh naw, “Pamhnama khaw cun i am mtäng vai? Msuimcäpnak i am mtumtäng vai?
31 As a grain of mustard seed, —which, whensoever it may be sown upon the earth, is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth;
Pamhnama khaw cun khyang mat naw khawmdek khana jaw säihki anca ui lo lü nglei üng a saw am tängki.
32 and, as soon as it is sown, springeth up, and becometh greater than all garden plants, and produceth large branches, so that, under the shade thereof, the birds of heaven can find shelter.
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 as these, was he speaking unto them the word, —according 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, was he not speaking unto them, —privately, however, unto his own disciples, was he explaining all things.
Msuimcäpnaka kaa khyang hea veia ngthu am pyen khawi. Cunsepi, axüisaw he amimät ami awmnaka avan a jah mtheh be khai.
35 And he saith unto them, on that day, when evening came, Let us cross over unto 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, dismissing the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat, and, other boats, were 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 ariseth a great tempest of wind, —and, the waves, were dashing over into the boat, so that, already being filled, was the boat.
Acunüng, khawkhi ksenu khi law se tuimvawn cun mlawng üng be law hlüki.
38 And he was in the stern, on the cushion, sleeping. And they arouse him, and say unto him, Teacher! carest thou 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, roused up, he rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea—Hush! be still! and the wind lulled, and it became 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 unto them—Why, are ye, fearful? Not yet, have ye 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 were caused to fear a great fear, and were saying one to another—Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him?
Cunsepi kyü law ngen u lü, “Khawkhi la tuimvawn naw pi a mtheh ani ngjak hin ia khyang ni?” tia ngthehei kyuki he.
