< Matthew 13 >

1 On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
Acuna mhnüp üng, Jesuh im üngkhyüh cit lü tuilia kama jah mthei khaia ngawki.
2 and there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
Ani ngbum lawki khyangpäe nung u se ta Jesuh mlawnga khana kai lü a ngaw üng, khyangpäe cun tuili kama ngdüikie.
3 And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow, —
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnake am ngthu pyen lü, “Ahlana mci saw khaia khyang mat citki.”
4 and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
Acukba a phuh hü üng, mci avang lama kya se khae naw ami ei u.
5 And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
Avang lunga danak, nglei a ngceknaka kya se akjanga cawt lawki.
6 and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
Khaw so law lü ngling law se, apya am vekia kya lü ngjaiei päihki.
7 And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
Mci avang nghlinga ksunga kya se nghling naw saü law lü a jah yaiin.
8 But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
Cunsepi, mci avang ngleia dawnaka kya se daw lü, avang aphya, avang khyukip, avang thumkipa ngtheipai lawki.
9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
Aupi a ngjaknak vai a nghnga veki naw ngja se” a ti.
10 And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
Acunüng axüisaw he Jesuha veia law u lü, “Khyang he am na ngthuei üng ivaia msuimcäpnake na jah sumeiki ni?” ti lü ami kthäh u.
11 And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, —whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.
Jesuh naw, “Nangmi cun Khankhaw Pea küia mawng ksingnak ka ning jah mtheh päng ni, amimi üng ta am jah mtheh nawng” a ti.
12 For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, —but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?
Takia khyang üng a tak law dämdäm vaia petsih vai. I pi am taki üng a tak naküt pi hutei be vai.
13 For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they understand.
Ami veia msuimcäpnak am ngthu ka pyen hin teng kyaw u lü pi am hmu u, ngai kyaw u lü pi am ngjakya u.
14 And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, —They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive;
Acunakyase sahma Hesajah naw Hina khyang he naw ngai lü ngaikie, cunüngpi am ngjakya u; teng lü tengkie, cunüngpi am hmu u,
15 For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
Isetiüng ami mlung nghlangkia kyase, ami nghnga naw am ngja ti, ami mik naw am hmu ti. Ami mik naw hmu lü, ami nghnga naw a ngjak vai sü ta, ami mlung üng ngjakya khaie sü, acunüng ka veia nghlat law be u se, ka jah mdaw be vai sü” a pyen khawi.
16 But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that they hear;
Nangmi ta nami mik naw hmuh lü nami nghnga naw ngja se nami kam daw ve.
17 For, verily, I say unto you—Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, sahma khawkän ja Pamhnama khyang he naw nami hmuh hin hmuh hlü u lü pi am hmuh khawh u, nami ngjak hin ngja hlü u lü pi am ngja hüt u.
18 Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
Acunakyase, mciksaw msuimcäpnak üng pyen hlü hin ngai lü ngthei ua.
19 When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, —this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
Khankhaw Pea mawng ngthu ngja lü am ngjakyaki cun lama khana kyaki mci am tängki ni. Khawyaipa naw law lü a mlung k’uma sawnglin cun a lawheiin pet.
20 And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
Lunga khana kyaki mci cun ngthu ngja lü jekyainak am a ngjak ja dokhameiki.
21 yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, —and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
Acunüngpi am phungpya mahkia kyase khawvei am kham. Acun ngthua phäh khuikhatnak ja mkhuimkhanak apha law üng pyaiei beki.
22 And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, —and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh. (aiōn g165)
Nghling hmua kyakia mci cun Mhnama ngthu ngja kyawki, khawmdeka cäicingnak ja bawimangnak naw a mhleia phäh a ngthu ngjak cun kpyeh se, am ngtheipai lü veeiki. (aiōn g165)
23 But, he on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth, —this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
Ngleia dawnak üng kyakia mci cun ta ngthu ngja lü ngjakyaki: acunüng ngtheipaikie, avang aphya, akhäk khyukip ja amsah thumkipa ngtheipai bekie” a ti.
24 Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
Msuimcäpnak akce a jah mtheh betü ta, “Khankhaw Pe cun a loa mci kdaw sawki khyang mat am tängki ni.
25 and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
Khyang he ami ih k'um mthan mat üng, ye naw law lü mci kdawa ksunga mci kse saw lü akcea citinki.
26 And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
Cang pyo law lü a vuipai law üng, mphyaw pi ngdang lawki.
27 And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, —Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?
A mpyae naw law u lü amahpaa veia, “Angvai aw, na lo üng mcikdaw va na saw am niki aw? Hawia khyüh hina mphyawe po lawki he ni? ti lü a kthäh.
28 And he said unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
Lomah naw, “Yee naw ahikba ami pawh ni” a ti. A mpyae naw lomah üng cit lü kami jah phukin vai aw? ami ti.
29 And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
Lomah naw, “Kaa, mphyaw nami phuk üng cangkdaw pi nami phuksih khai ni.”
30 Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, —Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
“Cang ah veia ani nghngih veei yüm ni se. Cang ah law üng mphyawe cun jah phu ma lü mei üng jah mkhih vai ja, cange cun jah at hnga u lü, ka kheia ami tak vaia cangk'at he üng ka jah mtheh khai,” ti lü a pyen.
31 Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak akce a jah mtheh betü cun, “Khankhaw Pe cun khyang naw anca ui cehpüi lü a loa a phuha mäi ni,”
32 which, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden-plants, and becometh a tree, —so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among its branches.
Anca ui cun mciui naküt üng akdik säiha kya lü pi a cawt law üng, kpue naküt kthaka ngbaü lawki. A thinga thawn law se khae naw pi law u lü, a kpyang üng ngbu tuhei law khawikie,” a ti.
33 Another parable, [spake he unto them]: —The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
Msuimcäpnak mat a jah mtheh betü cun, “Khankhaw Pe cun nghnumi mat naw nghngen lo lü khai tawng kthum üng kcaw se, khai kphawm lawki üng tängki ni,” a ti.
34 All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto them:
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak am khyangpäe üng ngthu jah mthehki; msuimcäpnaka kaa i am pyen.
35 that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying—I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!
Sahma naw a pyen khawi, “Msuimcäpnak am amimia veia ngthu ka pyen khai; khawmdek mhnünmceng üngka naw khyüngthupe ka jah mtheh khai,” ti aküm lawnaka kyaki.
36 Then, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying—Make quite plain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
Jesuh naw khyangpä cun akcea jah ceh ta lü im k’uma lut se, axüisaw he a veia law u lü, “Loa mphyawa mawng msuimcäpnaka suilam i ni, jah mtheha” ami ti.
37 And, he, answering, said—He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of Man;
Jesuh naw, “Mcikdaw sawki cun Khyanga Capa ni.”
38 And, the field, is the world, and, the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, —and, the darnel seeds, are the sons of the evil one;
Lo cun khawmdek ni, mcikdawe cun Khankhaw Pea ca hea kya u lü, mphyawe cun Khawyama ca he ni.
39 And, the enemy that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an age, and, the reapers, are, messengers. (aiōn g165)
Mphyaw sawki ye cun Khawyam ni. Cang ah kcün cun khawmdeka päihnaka mhnüp ni, cang atkie cun khankhawngsä he ni. (aiōn g165)
40 Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age: — (aiōn g165)
Acukba mphyawe jah mcun lü mei üng ami jah mkhiha mäiha, akcün päih law üng thawn law khai. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
Khyanga Capa naw a khankhawngsä he jah tüih law se, acun he naw a Khankhaw Pe üng khyang he jah mkhyekatsakie ja akse pawhkie avan cun jah mkhäm khai,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Kyap u lü ami mnicui hakyet khai hea mulai mei kdäi üng jah xawt law khaie.
43 Then, the righteous, will shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear!
Acunüng Pamhnam ca he ta khawnghngia deikhanga mäiha ami Paa Khankhaw Pea kdeikhang khaie. Na nghnga a ve üng ngjaa!
44 The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid, —and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth that field.
Khankhaw Pe cun loa thupa khawhthem üng tängki ni. Khyang mat naw acuna khawh cun hmu lü thup beki naw, jekyai lü a tak naküt va jawi lü a yah lawa ngui am acuna lo cun a khyäih.
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, —
Acunkäna, Khankhaw Pe cun aphu küiki lungtaü kdaw sui hü lü kunpanki khyang mat veki.
46 and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.
Acuna lungtaü a hmuh üng a tak naküt jawi päih lü acuna lungtaü cun a khyäih am tängki ni.
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering of every kind, —
Khankhaw Pe cun ngvai am pi tängki ni. Ngaksui avang naw tuia ami ngvai ami vawih üng nga amjüküm ng’awki.
48 which, when it was filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
Ngvai cun nga beei se kawnga kaih u lü nga cun ami ngawh sawa phyäihkie: nga kdawe cun cä üng jah xawn u lü, am dawkia ngakse naküt cun ami jah xawtin.
49 So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous; (aiōn g165)
Acukba akcüna päih law üng thawn law khai: khankhawngsä he naw law u lü khyang ngsungpyunea ksunga khyangkae cun jah xü khai. (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Kyap lü ami mnicui hakyet khai hea, mulai meikdäia jah xawtin vai” a ti.
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
Jesuh naw, “Ahin he hin nami jah ngjakyaki aw?” ti se, “Ä, kami ngjakyaki ni” ami ti.
52 And, he, said unto them—Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.
Jesuh naw, “Acunakyase Khankhaw Pea mawng mtheiki thum mthei he naküt cun immahpa naw a im k’uma ka khawh akthai ja akphyüm a cümnak üngka naw loki am tängki ni,” a ti.
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
Jesuh naw acuna msuimcäpnake a jah mtheh päng üng, acuna hnün hawih lü,
54 and, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying—Whence, hath, this one, this wisdom, and the mighty works?
A hminak mlüha cit beki. Sinakoka k’uma jah mtheimthang se ngja lü müncan ngenkie. “Ahina themngvainak müncankse pawhnaka johit hin hawia a jah yah ni?” ami ti.
55 Is not, this one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not his brethren—James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Imksaa ca am ni mä? A nu pi Marih, a benae pi Jakuk, Josep, Sihmon ja Judah ami ti am nikie mä?
56 and, his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
A cinae am pi ahia awmki he am ni mä? Hawia ka hin naw ahikba johit hin a jah yah hü ni? ami ti.
57 And they began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
Acukba Jesuh cun ami ma. Jesuh naw, “Sahma cun hnün naküt üng leisawngkie ni, a hminak a khaw ja a imbunga ni am leisawngnak a yah khawi,” a ti.
58 And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
Am jumkiea kyase acuia müncankse i am pawh.
