< Mark 4 >

1 Jesus again began to teach by the Sea; and, as an immense crowd was gathering round him, he got into a boat, and sat in it on the Sea, while all the people were on the shore at the water’s edge.
Avelin dil panga thu ahilpan kit tai. Mipi tamtah akoma ahung kikhom pai jeng un, Ama kong sunga aluttan ahi. Kong sunga chun atouvin, mipite chu vaokama atouvun ahi.
2 Then he taught them many truths in parables; and in the course of his teaching he said to them:
Amaho chu thulem'in thu tamtah ahil in,
3 “Listen! The sower went out to sow;
“Ngaiyun! Muchi thepa muchi then achen ahi.
4 and presently, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path; and the birds came, and ate it up.
Athe atheleh abang lamsih-ah achun, hiho chu vachaten ahungloh un anegam tauvin ahi.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and, having no depth of soil, sprang up at once;
Chule abang songlheo chunga leipatna lah a achun, alei asalou jeh'in akehdoh jeng in,
6 but, when the sun rose, it was scorched, and, having no root, withered away.
Ahivang in nisan ahin kah phat in asang gon, jung aneilou jeh'in agoplha paitan ahi.
7 Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.
Chule abang linglah-a achun, ling hochu ahung khang in chang phung dong nalaiho chu adep lihtan, ahinga aum tapoi.
8 Some fell into good soil, and, shooting up and growing, yielded a return, amounting to thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
Adang ho chu leiphalaiya achun, ahung khang in agatan, hiho chu ajat somthum, ajat somgup, ajat jakhat cheng in apungtan ahi!”
9 And Jesus said: “Let any one who has ears to hear with hear.”
Chuin Aman aseiyin, “Koihileh khojahna ding nakhang neiyin ngaihen,” ati.
10 Afterwards, when he was alone, his followers and the Twelve asked him about his parables;
Chomkhat jouvin aseijui somleni ho toh akimvela mi dangho toh aum khom pet in, amahon athulem seiho chu ipi kiseina ham tin adong un.
11 and he said: “To you the hidden truth of the Kingdom of God has been imparted; but to those who are outside it all teaching takes the form of parables, that —
Aman adonbut in, “Pathen gam thuguh chu nangho kipea nahi tauve. Hinlah thulema kaseina jeh chu polam miho jah ding ahi,
12 ‘Though they have eyes, they may see without perceiving; and though they have ears, they may hear without understanding; lest some day they should turn and be forgiven.’
Hichu Lekhabun aseisa agui lhunna ding: ‘Ka thilbol amu tengule, ima jildoh hetdoh aneilou diu. Ka thusei ajah tengule, ima hetdoh aneilou diu. Achutiloule keima lam'ah hung kiheiyuntin, ngaidam chang get unte,’ kiti chu ahi,” ati.
13 “You do not know the meaning of this parable!” he went on; “Then how will you understand all the other parables?
Abanin Yeshuan akomuva, “Nanghon hiche thulem hi nahetlou monguham? Achutile thulem dang jouse iti nahet tadiu vem?
14 The sower sows the Message.
Lou bolpan muchi athe chu Pathen thu midang koma kihil lhang tobang ahi.
15 The People meant by the seed that falls along the path are these — where the Message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the Message that has been sown in them.
Muchi kithe lamsih-a chuhon avetsah chu ahileh, Pathen thu ja-a ahivanga Satan in ahung kilhoh mang pai toh tekah ahi.
16 So, too, those meant by the seed sown on the rocky places are the people who, when they have heard the Message, at once accept it joyfully;
Songlheo chung leipatna lah-a chuhon avetsah chu, athu ajah jah-a thanomtah'a joppai jengho ahi.
17 but, as they have no root, they stand only for a short time; and so, when trouble or persecution arises on account of the Message, they fall away at once.
Ahivang in amaho chu jung neilou ahi jeh-un, apangsot jouji pouve. Pathen thutahsan jeh'a boina le suhgimna ato tengule, jung aneilou jeh-uvin alhupaiji tauve.
18 Those meant by the seed sown among the brambles are different; they are the people who hear the Message,
Ling lah a muchi kithehon avetsah chu Pathen thu ja a,
19 but the cares of life, and the glamour of wealth, and cravings for many other things come in and completely choke the Message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
Ahivanga leiset hinkho lungkhamna ten alodimsetna, haona lungthim chule thildang dang ngaichatnan thu chu adeplih jeh-a ga sodoh joulou tobang ahi. (aiōn g165)
20 But the people meant by the seed sown on the good ground are those who hear the Message, and welcome it, and yield a return, thirty, sixty, and even a hundred fold.”
Chule leipha laiya chuhon avetsah chu athu ja-a, hea jopte chu ahiuvin, abang ajat somthum, abang jat somgup chule abang ajat ja-a aga punsah beho ahiuve,” ati.
21 And Jesus said to them: “Is a lamp brought to be put under the corn-measure or under the couch, instead of being put on the lamp-stand?
Chuin Yeshuan ajah uva, “Koiyin meivah khu lo sung le jalkhun noiya atun ngaiyem? Koiman bolponte! Meivah chu avah hoiselna ding muna aki tungjin ahi.
22 Nothing is hidden unless it is some day to come to light, nor was anything ever kept hidden but that it should some day come into the light of day.
Ijeh-inem itileh thil kiselguh chengse chu achaina leh kiphongdoh ding, chuleh akiselguh jouse chu vahdoh ding ahi.
23 Let all who have ears to hear with hear.
Koihileh khojahna ding nakhang neiyin ngaihen,” ati.
24 Take care what you listen to,” said Jesus. “The measure you mete will be meted out to you, and more will be added for you.
Chuin ajah uva, “Najah chengseu chu lungluttah in ngaiyun. Phataha nangai chan uva, hetgilna nakipe diu ahi—chule kipehbe dingbon nahiuve.
25 For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
Koihileh kathuhil ngaiho chu hetbena kipehbe ding, ahinlah koihileh kathuhil ngailou chu ahetsa themkhat jong amahoa kon'a kilahmang peh ding ahi,” ati.
26 Jesus also said: “This is what the Kingdom of God is like — like a man who has scattered seed on the ground,
Yeshuan ajah uva, “Pathen gam umdol chu loubolmi khat'in leiya muchi athe tobang ahi.
27 and then sleeps by night and rises by day, while the seed is shooting up and growing — he knows not how.
Asun ajan'a a-imut pet chuleh aha pet hijongleh, amuchi the chu ahung kehdoh-in, akhanglen in, hinlah aman hitia chu thil iti hung umdoh ham ahepoi.
28 The ground bears the crop of itself — first the blade, then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear;
Leiset'in acham in ahin gadohsah jin, amasapen in avui ahung dondoh in, chuteng achaina leh ahung gadoh in aminji tai.
29 but, as soon as the crop is ready, immediately he ‘puts in the sickle because harvest has come’.”
Aga chu amin phatleh, a atphat ahitah jeh'in loubolpa achen, koiten a atpai jitai,” ati.
30 Jesus also said: “To what can we liken the Kingdom of God?
Yeshuan aseiben, “Pathen gam hi ipitoh kitekah ding hitam? Ipi thulema ka hilchet ding hitam?
31 By what can we illustrate it? Perhaps by the growth of a mustard-seed. This seed, when sown in the ground, though it is smaller than all other seeds,
Ankam mu chang leiya kithe tobang ahi, hichu muchi lah-a aneopen ahi.
32 yet, when sown, shoots up, and becomes larger than any other herb, and puts out great branches, so that even ‘the wild birds can roost in its shelter.’”
Ahivang in ahung kedoh tengleh hampa dang jouse sangin alenjon, abah lentah jong ahin sodoh jin, chutichun chunga leng vachate abah lim noiya ahung geh jiuvin ahi,” ati.
33 With many such parables Jesus used to speak to the people of his Message, as far as they were able to receive it;
Chuin chutobang thulem tamtah mangchan amahon ahetthei diu kham thu ahil e.
34 and to them he never used to speak except in parables; but in private to his own disciples he explained everything.
Mihonpi jah-a thulem tilouvin imacha aseikhapoi. Ahinla aseijuite chengse vang chu guhthimin ijakai ahilchen jinai.
35 In the evening of the same day, Jesus said to them: “Let us go across.”
Chuin nilhah in Yeshuan aseijuite koma, “Hung un, dil khu agal langa galkaiyu hite,” ati.
36 So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.
Chuti chun mihonpi chu adalha uvin, Yeshua chu konga akitolpi tauvin, kong dang phabep'in vang ahinjuiyun ahi.
37 A violent squall came on, and the waves kept dashing into the boat, so that the boat was actually filling.
Chuin khopi hui ahung nung in ahileh, twi kinong chu kong sunga ahung kinonglut matchet jeng tan, adimpai ding ahitan ahi.
38 Jesus was in the stern asleep upon the cushion; and the disciples roused him and cried: “Teacher! is it nothing to you that we are lost?”
Apet chun Yeshua chu kong mei lama lukhap kikhap'in ana ihmun, aseijuiten asukhang'un ajah-a, “Houhil, kalhummang gam dingu hi imalouva nagel ham?” atitauve.
39 Jesus rose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: “Hush! Be still!” Then the wind dropped, and a great calm followed.
Yeshua akhah phat'in huipi chu aphoh-in, twi-nong jah-a, “Thipmin! Thipchet in!” tia thu apeh leh, apettah'in huipi chu athipchet jeng tan, kho aphaseltan ahi.
40 “Why are you so timid?” he exclaimed. “Have you no faith yet?”
Chuin Aman ajah uva, “Ibola nakichat uham? Tahsanna nanei nailou uham?” atitai.
41 But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another: “Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Seijui ho chu akithing jeng tauvin, “Hichepa hi koi mongmong hiya, huipi le twi-nongin jong athu angai ahitadem?” tin aki dongto tauvin ahi.
