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 seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
2 Te vaengah amih te nuettahnah neh muep a thuituen tih a thuituennah dongah amih te,
And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
3 “Hnatun uh lah, cangti aka tuh tah cangti tuh ham cet ne.
"Listen. Look, the sower who went out 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 happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, 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 others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Tedae khomik a thoeng vaengah a kaeng atah a yung a om pawt dongah koh
And when the sun came up, 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 others 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 thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
9 Te dongah, “Yaak nah hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
And he said, "Whoever has 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, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about 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 to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, 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 perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Hekah nuettahnah he na ming uh pawt atah nuettahnah boeih te metlam na ming uh eh?
And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
14 Aka tuh loh olthangthen ni a tuh.
The farmer sows 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 the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has 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 a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately 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 are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
18 A tloe rhoek hling lakli ah a tuh khaw om. Te rhoek khaw ol aka ya rhoek ni.
And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who 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 age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes 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 which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
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 to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a 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 hidden, except that it should be made known; 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 anyone has 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 to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to 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 whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 Te phoeiah, “Pathen ram tah diklai dongah cangtii aka haeh hlang bangla om tangloeng.
And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
27 Tedae khoyin khothaih ip vaeng thoo vaeng cakhaw cangtii daih tih a rhoeng te a ming moenih.
and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
28 Diklai amah loh a thaihtak sak tih lamhma la cangkung, te phoeiah cangvuei, cangvuei khuiah cangyen a bae sak.
The earth bears fruit, 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, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 Te phoeiah Jesuh loh, “Pathen ram he metlam n'thuidoek vetih mebang nuettahnah nen n'nueh lah ve?
And he said, "To what will we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
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's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
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.
And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 A yaak thai la hebang nuettahnah neh amih taengah ol muep a thui pah.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to 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 he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Te khohnin hlaem a pha vaengah amih te, “Rhlavangan la lan uh sih,” a ti nah.
And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to 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 crowd, they took 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 a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
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 woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
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 to 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 to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no 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 were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
