Mark 4
1 Again he began to teach beside the sea, and a large crowd gathered around him. He stepped into a boat that was on the sea, and he sat down in it. The whole crowd was on the shore beside the sea.
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing tuili kengawh thlang cawngpyi tlaih bai hy. A venawh ak cun thlang kqeng ce a kqeng soeih a dawngawh lawng khuina kun nawh ngawi hy, cawh thlangkqeng taw tuili kengawh awm uhy.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching, this is what he said to them.
Nyhtahnaak awi ing cekkhqi ce ik-oeih khawzah cawngpyi khqi hy, a cawngpyinaak awh ce a mingmih a venawh:
3 “Listen, the farmer went out to sow his seed.
“Ngai lah uh! lo ak toenkung thlang pynoet taw camci ak saw na cet hy.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell on the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Camci ce a saw awh a vang taw lam awh tla nawh phakhqi ing cung hloep uhy.
5 Other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. Immediately it sprang up, because it did not have deep soil.
A vang taw deklai khawzah ama awmnaak lung ak khan awh tla hy. Deklai a pam a dawngawh, kawlhkalh awh cawt tlang hy.
6 But when the sun rose, the plants were scorched, and because they had no root, they dried up.
Cehlai khaw a thoeng law awhtaw ak kqa ama cak a dawngawh khawkbe ing tau nawh reu hy.
7 Other seed fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked it, and it did not produce a crop.
Camci a vang taw hling anglakawh tla nawh, hling a thing ce a bau law awhtaw cang ce zawl malh hy, cedawngawh am vui thai hy.
8 Other seed fell into good soil and it produced a crop growing up and increasing thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times.”
Camci a vang taw deklai ak leek awh tla hy. Cawt law, taai law nawh, vui hy, a pyh thumkip, kqukkip, zakhat dyna ak thaih vui hy,” tinak khqi hy.
9 Then he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing, “Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
10 When Jesus was alone, those who were close to him and with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Amah doeng a awm awh, thlanghqa hlaihih tloek ingkaw thlak changkhqi ce a venna law unawh nyhtahnaak awi ce doet uhy.
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those outside everything is in parables,
A mingmih a venawh, “Khawk khan nakaw awihyp ce nangmih a venawh ni pek khqi hawh hy. Cehlai a ceng na ak awmkhqi aham ik-oeih soepkep ce nyhtahnaak awi ing kqawn pe nyng,
12 so that when they look, yes they look, but do not see, and so that when they hear, yes they hear, but do not understand, or else they would turn and God would forgive them.”
cawh ni, “'hu taw hu hlai kawm uh, am toek thai ti kawm uh, za taw za hlai kawm uh, am zasim thai qoe kawm uh, cemih am mantaw hlat tlaih kawm usaw, qeenkhaw ngai na awm hau kawm uh!' a ti myihna,” tinak khqi hy.
13 Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other parables?
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve amna ming zasim nawh nu? Cawhtaw ikawmyihna nyhtahnaak awikhqi boeih ce naming zaak sim hly pai?
14 The farmer who sows his seed is the one who sows the word.
Lo ak takung ing awi ce theh hy.
15 These are the ones that fall beside the road, where the word was sown, but when they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Thlang vang taw awi ce ak theh awh, camci ang tlaaknaak lam amyihna awm uhy. Awi ce aming zaak awh Setan ce law nawh a mingmih ak khuiawh theh na ak awm awi ce lo valh hy.
16 These are the ones that are sown on rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
Ak changkhqi bai taw, lunghqawng awh ak tla camci amyihna awm bai hy, awi ce aming zaak awh zeel doena do pahoei uhy.
17 They have no root in themselves, but endure for a short time. Then tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, and immediately they stumble.
Cehlai ak kqa ama cak a dawngawh, kawlhkalh ca doeng awm hy. Awi awh kyinaak ingkaw thekhanaakkhqi a law awh, ang tawnna tluk tlang uhy.
18 The others are the ones that were sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
Ak changkhqi bai taw hling anglakawhkaw ak tla camci ing myih uhy, awi ce za hy;
19 but the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things enter in and choke the word, and it does not produce a crop. (aiōn g165)
cehlai ve khawmdek hqing khawsaknaak awh lynaakkhqi, boeinaak, qaai kqawnnaak khqi ingkaw ak chang ik-oeih ngaihnaakkhqi law nawh awi ce zawl malh uhy, cedawngawh a vui am qah thai hy. (aiōn g165)
20 Then those that were sown in the good soil are the ones who hear the word and receive it, and they produce crops—thirty, sixty, or a hundred times what was sown.”
Ak chang bai taw, laitak awh ak tla camci ing myih hy, awi ce ang zaak awh, do hy, a vui qah nawh - a pyh thumkip, kqukkip ingkaw zakhat dyna ak thaih vui hy,” tinak khqi hy.
21 Jesus said to them, “Do you bring a lamp inside the house to put it under a basket, or under the bed? You bring it in and you put it on a lampstand.
A mingmih a venawh, “Maiim ce dawn ing myk unawh, am awhtaw caboei ak kaina ta khawi unawh nu? Maiim amim hawihnaak khawi awh ni amim hawih ka ti my?
22 For nothing is hidden that will not be known, and nothing is secret that will not come out into the open.
Cawh ni amak dangkhqi boeih awm dang kawmsaw ang hyp na ak awmkhqi awm aming dang hly boeih hy.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Zaaknaak haa ak ta ingtaw za seh.
24 He said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear, for the measure you use will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
Na ming zaak ve ak leek na poek lah uh. Thlang aham na loeknaak awh ce nang aham awm loek law lawt kaw.
25 Because whoever has, to him will be given more, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken.”
U awm ak ta ce sap pek khqoet kawmsaw; u awm amak ta cetaw, a taak ang cang awm lawh pe kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
26 He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who sows his seed on the ground.
A mingmih a venawh, “Khawsa qam taw vemyihna awm hy. Thlang pynoet ing camci ce a lo awh theh hy.
27 He sleeps at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
Khawmthan ingkaw khawkdai ip nawh hang tho law seiawm camci ce pawk nawh cawt law hy. Ikawmyihna a hang cawt law tice am sim hy.
28 The earth bears grain by itself: First the blade, then the ear, then the mature grain in the ear.
Amah poek awh deklai ing vui a qah sak hy - a kung hak cawt law hy, cekcoengawh vui nawh ak thaih qah law hy.
29 When the crop is ripe, he immediately sends in the sickle because the harvest has come.”
Cang ce a hin awhtaw, cang ah aham a khoek hawh a dawngawh, vin ce lo nawh aat hy,” tinak khqi hy.
30 Again he said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to explain it?
Cawhtaw, “Khawk khan qam ve kaw ing nu ka nyhtah lah voei, am awhtaw i ikawmyih nyhtahnaak awi nu ka hawnaak lah voei?
31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
Khan qam taw khawmdek awh ak zawi soeih antlam cii ing myih hy.
32 Yet, when it is sown, it grows and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and it forms large branches, so that the birds of heaven can make their nests in its shade.”
Cehlai antlam cii ce cawt nawh a hang taai law awhtaw dum khui awhkaw a thing boeih boeih anglakawh bau khqoet hy, a baai ak bau na cawn nawh khan nakaw phakhqi ing a hlip awh cu uhy,” tinak khqi hy.
33 With many parables like this he spoke the word to them, as much as they were able to understand,
A mingmih ing aming zaak simnaak thai aham, cemyih nyhtahnaak awikhqi ing awi kqawn pek khqi hy.
34 and he did not speak to them without a parable. But when he was alone, he explained everything to his own disciples.
Nyhtahnaak awi hawnaak kaana ikawmyih awi awm ap kqawn pek khqi hy. Cehlai a hubatkhqi mi amah doeng ami awm awh, cawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ce kqawncaih pek khqi hy.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Amah ce nyn khawmy ben awh a hubatkhqi venawh, “Vang ben caqai na cet usih,” tinak khqi hy.
36 So they left the crowd, taking Jesus with them, just as he was, in the boat. There were other boats going along with him.
Thlang kqeng ce cehta unawh, anih ce lawng khuiawh a awmnaak man na ceh pyi pahoei uhy.
37 Just then a violent windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat so that the boat was almost full of water.
Cawh khaw hli khung nawh tuibak ce lawng khuina kun saw lawng ce cum hlo hlo hy.
38 But Jesus himself was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him up, saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are about to die?”
Jesu taw lawng ang mai benna a lu doelh nawh ip hy. A hubatkhqi ing thawh unawh, a venawh, “Cawngpyikung kaimih tui awh ka ming cum hly ve kawna am nak poek nawh nu?” tina uhy.
39 He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Tho nawh, khawhli ce, “Sit nawh dym hlah!” tina hy. Cawh khawhli ce sit nawh a sitdik na awm boeih hy.
40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still not have faith?”
A hubatkhqi venawh, “Ikawtih vemyihna namik kqih lawnha aih? Cangnaak am nami ta hlan nawh nu?” tinak khqi hy.
41 They were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, because even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Cawh kqih unawh, “Ve ve a u nu ti ve? Khawhli ingkaw tuibak ingawm ak awi ngai pe zap hy!” ti uhy.
