Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the side of the sea. And great multitudes were assembled about him; so that he embarked and sat in a ship on the sea, and all the multitude stood on the land by the side of the sea.
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 much by similitudes. And in his teaching, he said:
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnak he am hinkba khawjah a jah mthei,
3 Hear ye: Behold a sower went forth to sow.
“Ngai ua, mhmüp mat üng khyang mat mci saw khaia citki.
4 And as he sowed, some seed fell on the side of the path; and a bird 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 other seed fell on a rock, so that it had not much earth; and it soon shot 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 wilted; and because it had no root, it dried up.
Nghngi lut law lü, khaw ngling law se, a pya am saükia kyase, ng’yawngki.
7 And other seed fell among thorns. And the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruits.
Mci avang nghling hmua kyaki, nghling saü law lü, yai se am vuipai thei.
8 And other seed fell on good ground, and came up, and grew, and yielded fruits; some thirty, some sixty, and some a 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: Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Akbäihnaka Jesuh naw, “A ngjaknak vaia a nghnga taki naw ngja se,” a ti.
10 And when they were by themselves, those with him, together with the twelve, asked him concerning this similitude.
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 Jesus said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them without, all is in similitudes:
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 when they see, they may see and not see, and when they hear, they may hear and not understand; lest they should be converted, and their sins 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: Do ye not understand this similitude? And how will ye understand all similitudes?
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Hina msuimcäpnak am nami ksingki aw? Acunüng ihawkba msuimcäpnak avan nami ksing thei kawm?
14 The sower that sowed, sowed the word.
Mciksaw naw Mhnama ngthu a saw.
15 And those by the side of the path, are they in whom the word is sown; and as soon as they have heard it, Satan cometh, and taketh 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 those sown on the rock, are they who, when they hear the word, immediately 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 they have no root in them, but are temporary; and when there is affliction or persecution on account of the word, they are quickly stumbled.
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 those sown among thorns, are they that 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 residue of other lusts enter in and choke the word, and it is without fruits. (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 sown on good ground are they that hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruits, by thirties, and by sixties, and by hundreds.
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 placed under a bushel, or under a bed? Is it not to be placed on a light-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 hid, which will not be exposed; and nothing concealed, which will not be made manifest.
Ipi ä ngdang khaia thup cun mdana kya law lü, ipi ä ngphyäü khaia mjih cun phyeha kya law khai.
23 If any one 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 ye hear: with what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you: and there shall more be given to you who hear.
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 to him that hath, will more be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath, will 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 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, by night and by day, and the seed should grow an shoot up, he knoweth 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 bringeth forth the fruit; first the plant, and subsequently the ear, and at last the complete wheat in the ear.
Nglei amät naw vuipaiei lawsak khawiki. Akcüka aphung, avui, acunüng avui üngka naw akcang ngdang law khawiki.
29 And when the fruit is ripe, immediately cometh the sickle, because the harvest hath arrived.
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? and with what similitude 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 the least of all seeds sown on 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 springeth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and produceth great branches, so that birds can lodge under its shadow.
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 by many such similitudes, similitudes such as they could hear, Jesus discoursed with the people.
Jesuh naw acunkba msuimcäpnak khawjah am ami ksing thei vaia ngthu a jah mtheh.
34 And without similitudes he did not converse with them: but to his disciples, between himself and them, he explained every thing.
Msuimcäpnaka kaa khyang hea veia ngthu am pyen khawi. Cunsepi, axüisaw he amimät ami awmnaka avan a jah mtheh be khai.
35 And he said to them, the same day at evening: 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 they sent away the multitudes: and they conducted him in the ship as he was. 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 was a great tempest and wind: and the waves beat upon the ship, and it was near being filled.
Acunüng, khawkhi ksenu khi law se tuimvawn cun mlawng üng be law hlüki.
38 And Jesus was asleep on a pillow in the hinder part of the ship. And they came and awoke him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, 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 he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Cease; 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 were ye so fearful? and why have ye 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 with great fear: and they said, one to another: Who is this, that even the winds 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.
