Another time Jesus began to teach [people] alongside Lake [Galilee. As he was doing that, a very large crowd gathered around him. Because people were jostling him], he got into a boat in the lake [so that he could speak to the crowd better. Then he sat in it and began to teach the crowd from the boat]. At the same time, the crowd was on the shore close to the lake.

Then he taught them many parables. While he was teaching them, he told them [this]:
3 အဝဓာနံ ကုရုတ, ဧကော ဗီဇဝပ္တာ ဗီဇာနိ ဝပ္တုံ ဂတး;
“Consider [well the meaning of this illustration]: A man/farmer went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].

As he was scattering them [over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
5 ကိယန္တိ ဗီဇာနိ သွလ္ပမၖတ္တိကာဝတ္ပာၐာဏဘူမော် ပတိတာနိ တာနိ မၖဒေါလ္ပတွာတ် ၑီဃြမင်္ကုရိတာနိ;
Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of] rock. Very soon the [seeds] sprouted because [the sun warmed] the moist soil quickly where it was not deep.
6 ကိန္တူဒိတေ သူရျျေ ဒဂ္ဓာနိ တထာ မူလာနော နာဓောဂတတွာတ် ၑုၐ္ကာဏိ စ၊
But after the sun shone [on those young plants], they became scorched. Then they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
7 ကိယန္တိ ဗီဇာနိ ကဏ္ဋကိဝနမဓျေ ပတိတာနိ တတး ကဏ္ဋကာနိ သံဝၖဒွျ တာနိ ဇဂြသုသ္တာနိ န စ ဖလိတာနိ၊
As the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny plants. [The] seeds [grew, but] the thorny plants also grew up and crowded out [the] good [plants. So the plants] produced no grain.
8 တထာ ကိယန္တိ ဗီဇာနျုတ္တမဘူမော် ပတိတာနိ တာနိ သံဝၖဒွျ ဖလာနျုတ္ပာဒိတာနိ ကိယန္တိ ဗီဇာနိ တြိံၑဒ္ဂုဏာနိ ကိယန္တိ ၐၐ္ဋိဂုဏာနိ ကိယန္တိ ၑတဂုဏာနိ ဖလာနိ ဖလိတဝန္တိ၊
But as the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on good soil. As a result, they sprouted, they grew well, and then they produced [plenty of] grain. [Some] plants bore 30 [grains]. [Some] bore 60 [grains]. [Some] bore 100 [grains].”
9 အထ သ တာနဝဒတ် ယသျ ၑြောတုံ ကရ္ဏော် သ္တး သ ၑၖဏောတု၊
Then Jesus said, “If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”

[Later], when only the twelve [disciples] and a few [other] people were with him, they asked him about the parables.

He said to them, “People have not understood before [the new message] about how God wants to rule people’s lives. It is to you that this is being made known {that I am making this known}. But I tell about this [only] (in parables/figuratively) to those who have not [yet invited God to rule their lives].

As a result [it is true what a prophet has written], Although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means] [DOU]. Although they hear [what I say], they do not understand [what it means] [DOU]. So they do not (repent/turn away from their sinful behavior) in order that they would be forgiven {[God] would forgive them}.”

He also said to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand this illustration!/Can you not understand this illustration?) [RHQ] [If you do not understand] this, (you will certainly not understand any of the [other] illustrations!/how will you understand any of the [other] illustrations?) [RHQ] [Nevertheless, I will explain it to you].
14 ဗီဇဝပ္တာ ဝါကျရူပါဏိ ဗီဇာနိ ဝပတိ;
[In the illustration that I told you], the man who sows [seeds represents someone who] declares God’s message [DOU].

[Some people are like] the path on which [some of] the seeds fell. When they hear [the message], Satan comes at once and causes them to forget what they have heard.

[Some people are like the ground where the soil was not very deep over] rock. When they hear [God’s] message, they immediately accept it with joy.

But, because [the message does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their hearts/inner beings, they] believe it for [only a short time. They are like the plants that] did not have deep roots. When others treat such people badly or cause them to suffer because [they believe], those people [who are suffering] soon stop believing God’s message.

[Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny weeds in it. [Although] those people hear [God’s] message,
19 တဧဝ ဥပ္တဗီဇသကဏ္ဋကဘူမိသွရူပါး၊
they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)

[But some people] are like the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and they accept it [and they believe] it. [Then they do the things that God wants them to do. They are like the good plants that produced] 30, 60 or 100 [grains].”

He also told them [another parable], saying, “(People certainly do not [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed./Would anyone [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed?) [RHQ] (No, [they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house].[/Wouldn’t they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house]?)

[Similarly], there are some [parts of God’s message] that people do not know. [But he intends that] people will understand all the things that they do not know [now].

Then he said to them, “Consider carefully what you hear [me say to you], for [God] will let you [understand] to the same degree that you [consider what I say]. [He] will let you [understand] even more than that.

Jesus also said, “God [has the power to change] people who let him rule their lives. I [will illustrate how that can happen] [MET]. A man planted seeds in the ground.

Afterwards he slept each night and rose each day [without worrying about the seeds]. [During that time] the seeds sprouted and grew in a way that he did not understand, because by itself the soil [caused the plants to grow and produce grain].

[Jesus told them] another [parable. He] said, “I will tell you [RHQ] how the [number of people] whose lives God rules in a new way [will continue to grow] (OR, each continue to have more and more influence in this world). I hope [RHQ] that this illustration will show this [to you].

Jesus used many such illustrations when he talked to the people about God. If they were able to understand [some, he kept telling them more].

He always used parables when he spoke to them. But he explained all [the illustrations] to his own disciples when he was alone with them.

Jesus was in the back part of the boat. He was sleeping, [with his head] on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! (You ought to be concerned that we are about to die!/Are you not concerned that we are about to die?) [RHQ]”
