Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
Acuna mhnüp üng, Jesuh im üngkhyüh cit lü tuilia kama jah mthei khaia ngawki.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Ani ngbum lawki khyangpäe nung u se ta Jesuh mlawnga khana kai lü a ngaw üng, khyangpäe cun tuili kama ngdüikie.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
Jesuh naw msuimcäpnake am ngthu pyen lü, “Ahlana mci saw khaia khyang mat citki.”
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
Acukba a phuh hü üng, mci avang lama kya se khae naw ami ei u.
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
Avang lunga danak, nglei a ngceknaka kya se akjanga cawt lawki.
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
Khaw so law lü ngling law se, apya am vekia kya lü ngjaiei päihki.
7 Others fell amongst thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
Mci avang nghlinga ksunga kya se nghling naw saü law lü a jah yaiin.
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
Cunsepi, mci avang ngleia dawnaka kya se daw lü, avang aphya, avang khyukip, avang thumkipa ngtheipai lawki.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Aupi a ngjaknak vai a nghnga veki naw ngja se” a ti.
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
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 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
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 whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
Takia khyang üng a tak law dämdäm vaia petsih vai. I pi am taki üng a tak naküt pi hutei be vai.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, 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 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way 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 this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would 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 blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Nangmi ta nami mik naw hmuh lü nami nghnga naw ngja se nami kam daw ve.
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
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, then, the parable of the farmer.
Acunakyase, mciksaw msuimcäpnak üng pyen hlü hin ngai lü ngthei ua.
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
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 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
Lunga khana kyaki mci cun ngthu ngja lü jekyainak am a ngjak ja dokhameiki.
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
Acunüngpi am phungpya mahkia kyase khawvei am kham. Acun ngthua phäh khuikhatnak ja mkhuimkhanak apha law üng pyaiei beki.
22 What was sown amongst the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (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 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some 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 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed 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 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also amongst the wheat, and went away.
Khyang he ami ih k'um mthan mat üng, ye naw law lü mci kdawa ksunga mci kse saw lü akcea citinki.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
Cang pyo law lü a vuipai law üng, mphyaw pi ngdang lawki.
27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
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 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
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 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
Lomah naw, “Kaa, mphyaw nami phuk üng cangkdaw pi nami phuksih khai ni.”
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat 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 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like 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 smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in 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 He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all 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 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to 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 my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
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 Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds 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 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
Jesuh naw, “Mcikdaw sawki cun Khyanga Capa ni.”
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
Lo cun khawmdek ni, mcikdawe cun Khankhaw Pea ca hea kya u lü, mphyawe cun Khawyama ca he ni.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (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 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burnt with fire; so will it be at the end of this 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 out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
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 weeping 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 like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Acunüng Pamhnam ca he ta khawnghngia deikhanga mäiha ami Paa Khankhaw Pea kdeikhang khaie. Na nghnga a ve üng ngjaa!
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys 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 Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Acunkäna, Khankhaw Pe cun aphu küiki lungtaü kdaw sui hü lü kunpanki khyang mat veki.
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that 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 Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish 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, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
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 it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from amongst 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 weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Kyap lü ami mnicui hakyet khai hea, mulai meikdäia jah xawtin vai” a ti.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Jesuh naw, “Ahin he hin nami jah ngjakyaki aw?” ti se, “Ä, kami ngjakyaki ni” ami ti.
52 He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
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 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Jesuh naw acuna msuimcäpnake a jah mtheh päng üng, acuna hnün hawih lü,
54 Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these 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 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, 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 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of 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 They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own 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 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Am jumkiea kyase acuia müncankse i am pawh.
