Matthai 13
1 Te hnin ah Jesuh tah im lamloh cet tih tuili kaengah ngol.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Te vaengah hlangping rhoek tah anih taengah muep tingtun uh. Te dongah amah tah lawng khuiah ngol hamla kun. Tedae hlangping tah tuikaeng ah boeih pai.
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah neh muep a thui tih, “Cangti aka haeh tah cangti haeh la cet ne,
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 Cangti a haeh vaengah a ngen te longpuei ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 A ngen tah lungrhong dongah tla tih laimen muep a om pawt dongah tlek poe. Tedae laimen a dung la a om moenih.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 A yung a om pawt dongah khomik ha thoeng vaengah tah a kaeng tih koh.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 A ngen tah hling khuiah tla tih hling te a rhoeng vaengah tah cang te a huep.
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 Tedae a ngen tah lai then dongah tla tih a thaih, a ngen yakhat, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen tah sawmthum la thaii.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Balae tih nuettahnah neh amih na voek?” a ti na uh.
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Vaan ram kah olhuep ming sak ham nangmih taengah m'paek coeng dae te rhoek taengah a paek moenih.
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Aka khueh te tah a paek thil vetih a coih pah ni. Tedae aka khueh pawt te a khueh duen pataeng te a taeng lamkah loh a lat pah ni.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Te dongah ni amih taengah nuettahnah neh ka thui pah. A hmuh uh dae hmat uh pawh. A hnatun uh dae ya uh pawt tih hmuhming uh pawh.
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 Te dongah Isaiah kah tonghma ol te amih taengah, ‘Hnavue neh na yaak uh vetih na hmuhming uh loengloeng mahpawh. Na hmuh tah na hmuh uh vetih na hmat uh loengloeng mahpawh.
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 Pilnam kah thinko he tah a talh pah coeng. Te dongah hna neh a hnatun uh tloel tih a mik khaw a him uh. A mik neh a hmuh uh tih, hna neh a yaak uh, a thinko neh hmuhming uh tih ha bal uh koinih amih te ka hoeih sak ni,” a ti te soep coeng.
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 Tedae nangmih kah mik loh a hmuh tih na hna loh a yaak dongah a yoethen.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Rhep kan thui, tonghma rhoek boeih neh hlang dueng rhoek loh na hmuh uh te hmuh a hue uh dae hmu uh pawh, na yaak uh te yaak ham akhaw a yaak uh moenih.
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 “Te dongah nangmih loh cangti aka tuh kah nuettahnah he hnatun uh.
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 Ram kah olka te a yaak dae aka hmuhming pawt boeih tah, rhaithae loh ha pawk atah a thinko ah tuh tangtae a poel a yoe pah. Te tah longpuei kah a haeh coeng te ni.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 Lungrhong sokah a haeh te tah ol te a yaak vaengah omngaihnah neh tlek aka doe ni.
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Tedae a khuiah a yung a khueh pawt dongah kolkalh ni a om. Tedae olka kongah hnaemtaeknah neh phacip phabaem a om vaengah voeng a khah.
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Hling laklikah a tuh tah ol te aka ya la om dae diklai kah mawntangnah neh khuehtawn kah hmilhmaknah loh ol te a thing tih a tlongtlai la poeh. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Tedae lai then sokah a tuh tah ol te a yaak tih aka hmuhming la om. Anih tah a ngen yakhat, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen thumkip la vuei tih thaihtak,” a ti nah.
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 A tloe nuettahnah te amih a paek tih, “Vaan ram tah amah lo ah cangti then aka tuh hlang neh vai uh.
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Tedae hlang a ih vaengah a rhal ha pawk tih cang lak ah paitaang a haeh phoeiah vik cet.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Khopol te muem tih a vuei a thaih vaengah tah paitaang te khaw phoe.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 Te vaengah a sal rhoek loh a kungmah te a paan uh tih, ‘Boeipa, na lo ah cangti then na haeh moenih a? Tedae paitaang aka om he me lamkah lae?’ a ti nah.
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 Te vaengah amih te, ‘He tah rhal hlang loh a saii,’ a ti nah. Te dongah sal rhoek loh a taengah, ‘Ka cet uh vetih te te yoep sak ham na ngaih a?’ a ti na uh.
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 Tedae amah loh, ‘Pawh, paitaang te na yoep uh vaengah cang neh rhenten na phu uh ve?
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Cangah duela bok rhoeng sak mai. Cangah tue ah cangat rhoek te, “Paitaang te lamhma la yoep uh lamtah hoeh hamla a pok la pok uh, tedae cang te tah kai kah khai khuila khoem uh,” ka ti nah bitni,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 A tloe nuettahnah amih a paek tih, “Vaan ram tah mukang mu phek la om, te te hlang loh a loh tih a lo ah a tue.
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Te te a mu aka om boeih lakah yiit. Tedae a rhoeng vaengah toian aka om boeih lakah tanglue tih thing la poeh. Te daengah ni vaan kah vaa loh ha pawk uh tih a hlaeng dongah bu a tuk,” a ti nah.
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 A tloe nuettahnah neh amih te, “Vaan ram tah tolrhu phek la om. Te te huta loh a loh tih vaidam khoi thum khuiah a hlum vaengah boeih a rhoi sak,” a ti nah.
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 Jesuh loh he rhoek boeih he nuettahnah neh hlangping taengah a thui. Nuettahnah pawt atah amih taengah ol a thui moenih.
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 Te daengah ni tonghma loh a phong, “Nuettahnah neh ka ka ka ong vetih diklai a tongnah lamloh a thuhphah te ka phoe ni,” a ti te a soep eh.
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Hlangping te a tueih phoeiah im khuila kun. Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh tih, “Lo kah paitaang nuettahnah te kaimih ham thuicaih lah,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Cangti then aka tuh tah hlang capa ni.
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Lohma tah diklai ni. Te phoeiah cangti then tah ram kah a ca rhoek ni. Tedae paitaang tah rhaithae kah a ca rhoek ni.
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 Te te aka haeh rhal te tah rhaithae ni. Cangah tue tah lunglai tue a bawtnah ni. Cangat rhoek tah puencawn rhoek ni. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Te dongah paitaang a yoep uh tih hmai neh a hoeh bangla kumhal kah a bawtnah dongah om van ni. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Hlang capa loh a puencawn rhoek te a tueih ni. Te vaengah thangkui neh olaeknah aka saii rhoek boeih te a ram lamloh a bit uh ni.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
42 Te phoeiah amih te hmai alh khuila a phum uh ni. Te rhoek ah rhah neh, no rhuengnah nen ni a om eh.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Te vaengah aka dueng rhoek tah Pa kah ram ah khomik bangla sae uh ni. Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh.
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 Vaan ram tah lohma ah a thuh sut khohrhang phek la om. Te te hlang loh a hmuh vaengah a thuh tih a omngaihnah neh cet. Te phoeiah a khueh boeih te a yoih tih te kah lohmuen te a lai.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 Te phoeiah vaan ram tah laitha then aka toem hnoyoi hlang phek la om.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 Laitha a phu aka tlo pakhat la a hmuh dongah, a caeh neh a khueh boeih te a yoih tih a lai.
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 “Vaan ram tah tuili khuila lawk aka voei bangla om bal tih namtu cungkuem lamkah khaw a coi.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 Te te a bae vaengah lihmoi la a kawt uh. Te phoeiah ngol uh tih a then te busui khuila a sang uh. Tedae a thae te tah phawn a voeih uh.
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
49 Kumhal kah a bawtnah dongah om van ni. Puencawn rhoek loh cet uh vetih aka dueng lakli kah boethae rhoek te a hoep ni. (aiōn g165)
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
50 Te phoeiah amih te hmai alh khuila a voeih uh ni. Te hmuen ah rhah neh no rhuengnah ni aka om eh,” a ti nah.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 “He rhoek boeih he na hmuhming uh a?” a ti nah. Amah taengah, “Ue,” a ti uh.
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Te dongah amih taengah, “Vaan ram kah aka bang cadaek boeih tah a khohrhang khuikah a rhuem neh a thai aka pok hlang imkung phek la om,” a ti nah.
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
53 Jesuh loh nuettahnah he bawt a khah tih te lamloh vik nong.
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 Te phoeiah amah tolrhum la pawk tih amamih kah tunim ah amih te a thuituen hatah let uh tih, “Anih kah cueihnah neh a thaomnah he me lamkah nim?
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
55 Anih he kutthai capa la a om moenih a? A manu tah Mary la a khue uh moenih a? A mana rhoek khaw James, Joseph, Simon, Judah ta.
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 A ngannu rhoek khaw mamih taengah boeih a om uh moenih a? Te dongah anih taengkah boeih he me lamkah nim?” a ti uh.
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Tedae anih kongah amamih te a khah uh. Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Tonghma he amah im neh amah kah tolrhum pawt atah sawtsit ti om pawh,” a ti nah.
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own family.”
58 Tedae amih kah hnalvalnah kongah a thaomnah muep tueng sak pawh.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
