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 was seated by the seaside.
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.
And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.
3 Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah neh muep a thui tih, “Cangti aka haeh tah cangti haeh la cet ne,
And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;
4 Cangti a haeh vaengah a ngen te longpuei ah tla. Te dongah vaa loh a paan tih a kueh.
And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:
5 Angen tah lungrhong dongah tla tih, laimen muep a om pawt dongah tlek poe. Tedae laimen a dung la aom moenih.
And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:
6 A yung a om pawt dongah khomik ha thoeng vaengah tah a kaeng tih koh.
And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.
7 Angen tah hling khuiah tla tih hling te a rhoeng vaengah tah cang te a huep.
And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:
8 Tedae a ngen tah lai then dongah tla tih a thaih, a ngen yakhat, a ngen sawmrhuk, a ngen tah sawmthum la thaii.
And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.
9 Hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
He who has ears, let him give ear.
10 Te phoeiah hnukbang rhoek loh a paan uh tih, “Balae tih nuettahnah neh amih na voek?,” a ti nauh.
And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?
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.
And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets 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.
Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
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.
For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.
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.
And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:
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 the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.
16 Tedae nangmih kah mik loh a hmuh tih na hna loh a yaak dongah a yoethen.
But a blessing be on your eyes, because they see; and on your ears, because they are open.
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.
For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
18 “Te dongah nangmih loh cangti aka tuh kah nuettahnah he hnatun uh.
Give ear, then, to the story of the man who put the seed in the earth.
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 the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.
20 Lungrhong sokah a haeh te tah ol te a yaak vaengah omngaihnah neh tlek aka doe ni.
And that which went on the stones, this is he who, hearing the word, straight away takes it with joy;
21 Tedae a khuiah a yung a khueh pawt dongah kolkalh ni a om. Tedae olka kongah hnaemtaeknah neh phacipphabaem a om vaengah voeng a khah.
But having no root in himself, he goes on for a time; and when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, he quickly becomes full of doubts.
22 Hling laklikah a tuh tah ol te aka ya la om dae dilai kah mawntangnah neh khuehtawn kah hmilhmaknah loh ol te a thing tih a tlongtlai la poeh. (aiōn g165)
And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit. (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.
And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, 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.
And he gave them another story, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who put 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 men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.
26 Khopol te muem tih a vuei a thaih vaengah tah paitaang te khaw phoe.
But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.
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.
And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?
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.
And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?
29 Tedae amah loh, ' Pawh, paitaang te na yoep uh vaenngah cang neh rhenten na phu uh ve?
But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain 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 them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.
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.
He put another story before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put 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.
Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places 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.
Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
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 people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:
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.
That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.
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 he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.
37 Te vaengah Jesuh loh a doo tih, “Cangti then aka tuh tah hlang capa ni.
And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the earth 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.
And the field is the world; and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds 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 he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the 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)
As then the evil plants are got together and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world. (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 take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,
42 Te phoeiah amih te hmai alh khuila a phum uh ni. Te rhoek ah rhah neh, no rhuengnah nen ni a om eh.
And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
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 upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.
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 secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get 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 trader searching for beautiful jewels.
46 Laitha a phu aka tlo pakhat la a hmuh dongah, a caeh neh a khueh boeih te a yoih tih a lai.
And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for 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, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish:
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 full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put 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)
So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good, (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.
And will put them into the fire: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
51 “He rhoek boeih he na hmuhming uh a?” a ti nah. Amah taengah, “Ue,” a ti uh.
Are all these things now clear to you? They say 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.
And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.
53 Jesuh loh nuettahnah he bawt a khah tih te lamloh vik nong.
And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.
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?
And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?
55 “Anih he kutthai capa la aom moenih a? A manu tah Mary la a khue uh moenih a? A mana rhoek khaw James, Josephb, Simon, Judah ta.
Is not this the woodworker's son? is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and 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.
And his sisters, are they not all with us? from where, then, has he 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.
And they were bitter against him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour but in his country and among his family.
58 Tedae amih kah hnalvalnah kongah a thaomnah muep tueng sak pawh.
And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.
