Matthew 13
1 Chujouvin hiche ni chun Yeshuan in chu adalhan chule dillen pama chun atouvin ahi.
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2 Mihonpi akimvela aki khom un, hiti chun ama kong khat a alut e. Chuche muna chun atouvin chule mihonpi vapama umho chu thu ahil tai.
Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 Aman thulem tampi mangchan amaho chu thusim tampi ahil in, hiche thusim hi aseiye: “Ngaiyun! Loubol mi khat muchi the ding in aga potdoh e.
And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 Chule aman muchi chu loulaiya athea ahileh, muchi phabep chu lampia a-chu in ahileh vacha ho ahung un anejou tauve.
And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Muchi dang phabep chu songlheu chung lei patna a achutai. Lei apat jeh chun muchi chu ahung kehdoh loichel in ahi.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 Hinlah nisa ahung satan ahileh, leiset achu ajung alut thuh lou jeh in asang gop pai jeng in ahi.
But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Muchi dang phabep ma chu ling lah a a-chu in ling chu akhang in chule chang phung dong nalai chu adep lihtai.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
8 Hinlah muchi adang chengse vang leiphatna a a-chu in chule hiche ho chu ajat som thum, ajat somgup chule ajat jakhat chan geiyin apung uvin ahi.
Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
9 Khojahna ding nakol nei ami chang cheh in angaiya chule ahetkhen angaiye,” ati.
He who has ears, let him hear.”
10 Aseijuite ahung un chule adong uvin, “Iti dana nangman miho thu nahil tengleh thulem naseiji ham?” atiuve.
Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
11 Aman adonbut in, “Nangho hi van Lenggam thuguh hettheina kipea nahi tauve, hinlah amaho kipe lou ahiuve.
He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Ka thuhil ngai ho chu hetkhen na kipeh be ding chule amahon hetna bulhingset anei diu ahi. Hinlah ka thuhil ngaisah lou ho chu hetna phabep aneiyu jong chu kilah mangpeh nalai diu ahi.
Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Hijeh chun hiche thulem ho hi Kaman chah ahi. Ajeh chu amahon avet vang uva amu tahbeh lou ding u, ajah uva ahivanga angaiyu chu hetdohna tahbeh neilou ding ahiuve.”
This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
14 Hiche hi Isaiah themgao thusei, “Ipi kasei najah tenguleh hetkhenna nanei thei lou diu ahi. Ka thilbol namu tenguleh, geldohna nanei thei lou dingu ahi.
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 Ajeh chu hiche mite hi alung gelu atah cheh in, chule akol'uva khojahna aumpoi chule amahon amit asing uvin, amit un kho amu tapon, chule ana koluvin kho ajapon, chule alung un hetkhenna aneipon, chule keiman kasuhdam theina ding in ka heng lama ahung kihei pouve.”
For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
16 “Hinlah namit teni uvin amu jeh un, namit-u mitvang pha ahi chule nana kolte niuvin ajah jeh un, nakol vangpha ahi.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17 Thu tahbeh ka seipeh nahiuve, themgao tamtah le mi chonpha tamtah'in namu uhi amu nomun, hinlah amu pouve. Chule thu najah chengseu hi ajah nomun, hinlah ajah lou-u ahitai.”
For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 “Tuhin lou bolpa chun amuchi the ahil chetna ngaiyuvin.
Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
19 Lampia chu-ah muchin avetsah chu Lenggam thu kihil ja'a, ahivanga hechen lou ho ahiuve. Chujouvin agi loupa chu ahung in chule alung sung uva kitulut muchi chu ahung lamang jitai.
When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
20 Songlheu chunga chua muchi hin thu kisei chu ngaiya chule apet petna kipah tah a sanga mitoh tekah thei ahi.
The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
21 Hinlah ajung athuh loujeh in ahingsot tapoi. Amaho chun hahsatna ato tenguleh ahilouleh Pathen Thu jeh a gim bolna ato tenguleh alhamang ji tauve.
But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Muchi ling lah a chu ho chu Pathen Thu ja a ahia tu hinlai vannoi lung gimna ho leh, haona ngaichatna ho jeh in gaso louvin aum jitai. (aiōn g165)
The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Muchi lei phatna a chuho vang thu chu atahbeh a ja a chule hetchetna nei ahiuvin, chule amaho chun ajat som thum, ajat som gup chule ajat jakhat ahin sodoh e!” ati.
But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”
24 Yeshuan thusim jatchom khat hichea hin aseiye: “Van gam chu loubol mi khat in alouva muchi pha athea toh tekah thei ahi.
Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Hinlah chuche jan chun natong ho aihmut pat un, melmapa chu ahung in chuin changtah lah a chun changlhem ahung then, ache mangtai.
But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
26 Changphung ahung khanlhit phat in, aga jong ahung um'in chule changlhem jong chu ahung khang len in ahi.
When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
27 Loubolpa natong ho akoma agache uvin, chuin ajah a, ‘Hepu louva muchipha nathe na'a khun changlhem akeh dimset in, hoiya kon iti hung um hintem?’ atiuve.
The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 ‘Melma khat'in abol hichu’ tin loubolpa chun ahin phongdoh tai. ‘Changlhem ho kaga bodoh dingu ham?’ tin adong uve.
‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “Ahipoi, chutia nabol uleh changtah bodoh tha get nuvin nate.
‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 A at phat lhin kah in khantha jengu hen. Chuteng keiman chang at ho jah'a changlhem chu lhengdoh unlang, kan khomun chule meiya halvam un, chule changtah chu changkul'a khum uvin tina nge” ati.
Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”
31 Hichea hin vetsahna chomkhat Yeshuan amange: “Van Lenggam chu ankam mu louva kithe tobang ahi.
He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
32 Muchi jouse lah a aneopen ahi, hinlah hon a kitu lah a aphung lenpen ahung hitan, ahungkhang len in, thingphung ahung kisoh in, chule vacha ho ahungun chuin abah hoa abu akiset uvin ahi,” ati.
Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 Yeshuan hiche thulem jong hi aseiyin: “Van gam hi numei khat'in changlhah semna dinga chol aman tobang ahi. Ama hin chol neocha chu chang bong tetohna thum'a akoi jeng vang'in, changbong chu apumpin apomsah soh hel in ahi.” ati.
He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
34 Yeshuan mihonpi lah a thu aseina'a thusimle thulem hitobang ho hi amangcha jing in ahi. Ahimong in hitobang thulem mang cha louvin amaho koma thu asei jipoi.
Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
35 Hiche hi Pathen in Themgao kam'a anaseisa: “Keiman nakom uva thulema kaseiding, Keiman vannoi kisem kipat apat thuguh kisel kahilchet peh ding ahi,” ti aguilhunna ahi.
So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
36 Chuin mihonpi chu polama adalhan, Yeshua chu insung agalut in ahileh aseijuiten, “Changlhem loulaiya um thulem chu nei hilchet peh un,” atiuve.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
37 Yeshuan adonbut in, “Loubolpa, muchipha the a-chu Mihem Chapa ahi.
He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Lou chu vannoi leiset ahi, chule muchipha chu Lenggam mite ahiuve. Changlhem chu agiloupa mite ho ahiuve.
The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 Melma changlhem changtah lah a thepa chu Diabol ahi. Chang at phat chu vannoi kichaina phat ahi, chule chang at ho chu Vantilte ho ahiuve.” (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 “Changlhem ho lhendoh a aum'uva chule meiya akigo banga chu, vannoi kichaini jongleh chuti ding ahi. (aiōn g165)
As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mihem Chapa chun a-Vantilte ahinsol ding, chule amaho chun Lenggama kon chonset hin umdohsah ho le thilse bol jouse asuhmang dingu ahi.
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.
42 Chule Vantil ho chun amaho chu meikou jejua chu alelut dingu, hichea chu kana chule hagelna umding ahi.
And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Chuteng michonpha ho chengse a Pau Lenggam sunga nisa tobanga vahding ahiuve. Thungaina ding nakol neiya chun ngaiyu hen chule heuhen!”
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 “Van'a Lenggam chu mi khat in loulaiya gou kiselguh amudoh tobang ahi. Kipah thanom pum'in aselkit'in chule anei jouse chu ajoh doh in asumnei sun chun lou chu achotai.”
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Chujongleh Van'a Lenggam chu kivei mi khat in twikoh chang manlutah ahol tobang ahi.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
46 Aman twikoh chang man lutah chu amudoh phat in anei jouse ajoh doh in, chule lou chu achotai.”
When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
47 “Chule Van'a Lenggam chu nga matna len twi lah'a kiseplha a chule nga jouse man tobang ahi.
Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
48 Len chu adimset phat in, hichu vapama aloidoh uvin, atou khomun chule nga aphaho chu aboma akoiyun, hinlah aphalou ho chu apai mang tauve.
When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
49 Vannoi kichaini jongleh chuti ding ahi. Vantil ho hunguvin tin michonpha hoa konna mi gilou ho ahin chom khendoh dingu ahi. (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Miphalou ho chu mei deujeju sunga chun lehlut uvintin, hichea chu kana le hagelna umding ahi.”
and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Hiche hohi aboncha nahet nah uvem? atileh amahon “Henge,” atiuve.
Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
52 Chujouvin aman aseiben, “Van'a Lenggama Hou thuhila pang seijui hung hi ho hi, in neipan aneikholna muna kona Thutah gou alui le athah ahin pohdoh tobang ahi,” ati.
Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
53 Hiche thusimho le vetsahna ho ahil jouvin, aman chuche gam chu adalhan,
When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
54 Achenna khopi Nazareth lama ahung kiletai. Aman amaho hou kikhopna in'a thu ahil pet'in amitakip in adatmo uvin chule aseiyun, “Hoiya kona hiche chihna le thil kidang boltheina hoiya thaneina akilah ahidem?” tin asei-uve.
Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.
55 Amahon anoisebol uvin, “Ama thing thembol chapa ahi, anu Mary le asopi pasal ho—James, Joseph, Simon le Judah abonun ihecheh uve.
“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 Asopi numeiho jouse jong ilah uva aumcheh uvin. Hiche ho jouse hi hoiya kona akihetdoh hintem?” atiuvin ahi.
Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
57 Chuin amaho chu hatah in alung-lhalheh uvin, chule Ama atahsan nomta pouve. Chuphat in Yeshuan amaho aseipeh in, “Themgao chu ama insung le akhopia mite lah tilouvin mun jousea jabolna achange,” ati.
And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
58 Chuin amahon atahsan lou jeh uvin thil kidang themkhat bou aboltai.
And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
