Marku 4
1 Tuili kaengah khaw thuituen ham koep a tong tih hlangping loh a taengah a kumngai a tingtun pah. Te dongah amah te tuili kah lawng khuiah ngol hamla kun. Te vaengah hlangping tah tuili taengkah lan soah boeih om uh.
And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.
2 Te vaengah amih te nuettahnah neh muep a thuituen tih a thuituennah dongah amih te,
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
3 “Hnatun uh lah, cangti aka tuh tah cangti tuh ham cet ne.
Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
4 A tuh la a om vaengah a ngen tah long ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Te phoeiah a tloe tah laimen muep aka om pawh lungrhong soah tla tih laimen a dung la a om pawt dongah tlek poe.
And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:
6 Tedae khomik a thoeng vaengah a kaeng atah a yung a om pawt dongah koh
and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Te phoeiah a tloe tah hling khuiah tla. Hling te a rhoeng vaengah cangti te a thing tih a thaih thaii pawh.
And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 Te phoeiah, a tloe rhoek tah lai then dongah tla. Te dongah a poe vaengah rhoeng tih a thaih thaii tih a ngen thumkip, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen yakhat lo,” a ti nah.
And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
9 Te dongah, “Yaak nah hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Te dongah amah bueng a om vaengah, a taengvai rhoek neh hlainit rhoek loh nuettahnah te a dawt uh.
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.
11 Te dongah amih te, “Pathen ram kah olhuep te nangmih m'paek coeng. Tedae poengben kah rhoek ham tah soeprhep boeih te nuettahnah la a om pah.
And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:
12 Te daengah ni a hmuh tah a hmuh uh sui dae a hmat uh pawt eh, a yaak tah a yaak uh sui dae a hmuhming uh pawt eh. Ha mael uh vetih amih te vik hlah ve,” a ti nah.
that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hekah nuettahnah he na ming uh pawt atah nuettahnah boeih te metlam na ming uh eh?
And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?
14 Aka tuh loh olthangthen ni a tuh.
The sower soweth the word.
15 He tah longpuei kaep kah a soem ol te ni. A yaak vaengah Satan tlek cet tih amih khuiah a soem ol a loh pah.
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.
16 Te phoeiah he rhoek tah lungrhong sokah a haeh rhoek ni. Te rhoek loh ol te a yaak uh vaengah omngaihnah neh tlek a doe.
And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;
17 Tedae a khuiah a yung om uh pawt tih kolkalh bueng omuh. Te phoeiah olka kongah phacipphabaem neh hnaemtaeknah a om atah voeng a khah uh.
and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.
18 A tloe rhoek hling lakli ah a tuh khaw om. Te rhoek khaw ol aka ya rhoek ni.
And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,
19 Tedae diklai kah mawntangnah, khuehtawn kah hmilhmaknah neh a tloe boeih ham hoehhamnah ha pawk vaengah ol te a thing tih a tlongtlai la poeh. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Tedae lai then ah tuh la aka om rhoek tah ol te a yaak uh vaengah a doe uh tih a ngen tah thumkip, a ngen tah sawmrhuk, a ngen tah yakhat la thaihtak,” a ti nah.
And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
21 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hmaiim te voh hmui neh thingkong hmuiah khueh ham a hang khuen? Hmaitung soah a khueh ham moenih a?
And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand?
22 Te dongah a huephael akhaw a phoe mueh la a om moenih. A huep te a thoeng mueh moenih. Te van daengah ni mingpha la a om eh.
For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made secret, but that it should come to light.
23 Yaak nah hna aka khueh long te tah ya saeh,” a ti nah.
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Te phoeiah amih te, “Na yaak uh te poek uh, na nueh nah cungnueh nen te nangmih n'nueh van vetih nangmih taengah han thap ni.
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you.
25 Aka khueh te tah a paek thil vetih aka khueh pawt te a khueh duen te anih taeng lamloh a lat pah ni,” a ti nah.
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
26 Te phoeiah, “Pathen ram tah diklai dongah cangtii aka haeh hlang bangla om tangloeng.
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
27 Tedae khoyin khothaih ip vaeng thoo vaeng cakhaw cangtii daih tih a rhoeng te a ming moenih.
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
28 Diklai amah loh a thaihtak sak tih lamhma la cangkung, te phoeiah cangvuei, cangvuei khuiah cangyen a bae sak.
The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 Tedae cangvuei loh hmin tih cangah a pha atah vin tlek a pom,” a ti nah.
But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh, “Pathen ram he metlam n'thuidoek vetih mebang nuettahnah nen n'nueh lah ve?
And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
31 Pathen ramtah mukang mu bangla om. Te te diklai dongah a haeh vaengah tah diklai hmankah a tii boeih lakah a yit koek la om.
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
32 A haeh phoeiah rhoeng tih toian boeih lakah a tanglue la coeng, a hlaeng khaw a len la cawn. Te dongah vaan kah vaa khaw a hlipkhup ah bu a tuk thai,” a ti nah.
yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.
33 A yaak thai la hebang nuettahnah neh amih taengah ol muep a thui pah.
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;
34 Nuettahnah pawt atah amih taengah a thui moenih. Tedae a hnukbang rhoek ham bueng ni boeih a thuicaih pah.
and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
35 Te khohnin hlaem a pha vaengah amih te, “Rhlavangan la lan uh sih,” a ti nah.
And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
36 Te phoeiah hlangping te a hlah uh tih lawng khuiah aka om Jesuh te pahoi a khuen uh. Lawng tloe rhoek khaw Jesuh taengah om uh.
And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
37 Te vaengah khohli aka tlo hlipuei te hli. Te dongah tuiphu loh lawng te a boh dongah lawng dalh buek.
And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
38 Tedae Jesuh tah a maicaem ah om tih luhoe dongah ip. Te vaengah amah te a thoh uh tih, “Saya, m'poci coeng he, na ngaihuet moenih a?” a ti nauh.
And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?
39 A haeng vaengah khohli te a ho tih tuili te, “Paa lamtah duem laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah khohli te paa tih suepduem la boeih om.
And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Te phoeiah amih te, “Balae tih rhalyawp la na om uh? Tangnah na khueh uh hlana?” a ti nah.
And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
41 Tedae a rhih uh tih a rhihnah uh khaw khosava. Te dongah khat neh khat, “Unim he, tuili neh khohli long pataeng boe a ngai pah he?” a ti uh.
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
