Mark 4 (BGG) · Opened

1Dinne Isu è Galili pha khabang iring hà rai srane yua ramuii shii, ai moe shii boh ibrogthek wuii thog ne shan ne ley mage ne ai ne run jia shii khrog ne in dun ro. Run jine kho è fuang hà um, chiih-è ithek ne kho iring shii riu yi.Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.

2Chiihphado ai è najang è shan ne miyaothek yua ne ithek shii yao:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Yoi mage bo! Luangjia shii bran jia è miiriie jiie pha wuii dun.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ai è ji pha miiriie ne raig shii jiie mage shii, giak ne lumuii hà chiih dun. Jipha miiriie ne fuiithek è wuii srane zab chiing ne chie muii.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Giak miiriie ne lubao surong pha nyak shii chiih dun. Jipha miiriie ne khthiie sieng shii. Thiisa hà nyak ne jam asi pha ji èSome fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6hasiang siang mage shii, misieng ne zab goh ne iy dun; nyieliieshii, ji pha misieng ne iriing jam adab mua pha ji è iy dun ro.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Giak miiriie ne migem um pha jabiing hà chiih dun ro, ji pha miiriie ne siengthog mage shii, migem muiithek yang ne sieng dun pha ji è iwoi awoi mua pha re dun.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Chiih-è giak miiriie ne nyiak wie hà chiih ne, ji pha miiriie ne wie sieng ne, iwoi wie woithog ruii, giak ne phriie sa-uom woithog ruii, giak ne briie sariig woithog ruii phro, chiih-è, giak ne briie wiengjia woi thog ro.”Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”

9Din ne Isu è yao, “Hanyie shii yoi pha khohthek um arone, yoi mage bo!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Isu yi awai ji shii, ai miyao yoi pho thek chiih-è samoythek è aishii wuii srane najang shan ne yao pha miyao siu ji sai,As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Isu è ithek shii chang, “Nathek shii ne Hamangkhung-aphuii ro Sajathua pha miyao ug ne ruii pha ji phijong ro.” Jishii fuang hà riu pha yogai ne najang pha miyao siu ji nuii phro,He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,

12ji-è, Ithek ne riig phane riig shii, Thuh de adoh ro; ithek ne yoi phane yoi shii, thuh de agao ro. Chiih-è ithek ne ji rek arone, ithek ne Hamangkhung-aphuii shii khid phro, chiih-è, Hamangkhung-aphuii è ithek layogthek shii de khung phi ro.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Chiih-è Isu ithek shii sai, nathek hì pha najang shan ne yao pha miyao agao ba bey? Chiihphado, nyie khi-èrek ne gai pha najang è shan ne yao pha miyao ji ithek thieg mua yi phlei?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Jipha miiriie jiie pha ne Hamangkhung-aphuii pha mua ji jiie ro.The farmer sows the word.

15Giak ne lumuii shii chiih pha miiriie ne ji duiine ro, ithek ne jipha mua nuii ched dang shii ibuii è wuii srane jipha mua ne ithek è yie dun.Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

16Giak bran ne lubao lakhung shii chiih pha miiriie duiine ro. Mua jine ithek bajo lised rek ne nuii gieng phro.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Jishii, ji pha mua ne ithek lubu iliing hà athog ba shii, mua phi pha chiang è, ithek shii diigchiaothek thog mage shii ithek ne jithek shii zab thoh din muii ro.But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

18Giak branthek ne migem biing hà jiie pha miiriie duiine ro. Ithek ne ji pha mua ne nuii habuii shii,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19Jishii awaithek sieng pha chiang è rum ne, bukho re yi pha miie ne, ichua ichua chiid pha ji thek è ji pha mua shii ne yang dun ne sennyia muii srane ji pha mua ne iwoi awoi mua pha iy dun ro.but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20Jishii, giak miiriie ne nyiak wie hà chiih pha duiine ro. Ithek ne mua ji nuii srane lubu hà ruii, chiih-è, iwoithek de wie woi ruii phro. Giak ne briie sa-uom woi ruii phro, giak ne briie so-riig woi ruii phro, chiih-è giak ne briie wieng jia thog pha woi ruii phro.Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”

21Isu è dinne yao din, “Hanyie è ichuang yie srane shiikhiiakhjam chiih-è biang bucho hà ruii ne bey? Jine ithek è bunthruak lakhung hà aruii ne bey?Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?

22Nyie ug ne ruii pha ji ne fuang khia yi phro, nyie thieg ne ruii pha ji ne hong yi ruii.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Nathek shii khohthek um arone yoi mage bo!”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Isu è de ithek shii yao, “Nathek è nyie yoi pha ji shii isiie rek mage bo, nathek è ithek shii khi-èrek ne chua pha ji duiine, Hamangkhung-aphuii è de nathek shii ji duiine chua ruii phro, jishii, ai ne jiè de boh huak ne chua ruii phro.He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.

25Bran hanyie shii um iang phane, aishii dinne de bajo phi ruii phro, chiih-è, hanyie shii oi iang pha ji shii ne, aishii ìujia um iang pha ji de yie dun phro.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Isu dinne yao, Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua ne hì duiine ro, bran jia è awai raig shii iriie jiie marui.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Ai ne habiu shii men dun, chiih-è inai shii ne lakhung sieng, chiih-è iriie jithek ne awailum ne sieng khlei ruii, jishii, ji pha iriie ne khi-èrek ne sieng ruii pha ji ne thuh de athieg mua ro.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Jine nyiak è rek ne sieng yi srane iwoithek de woi ruii phro; igobi ne iliung liung srane irab nyiu ne sieng bi ruii phro, chiih-è, imabuiithek bua ne iwoi woi ruii phro.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Iwoi jithek men pha ishak thog mage shii, ji pha bran è awairo barai rog shii riug pha jao, nyieliieshii yamiing pha ishak ne thog ro.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Isu è sai, “Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua ne imia rone gethek ne yao nyie rek ne yao phlei?” Isu è sai. Nathek shii nyie najang è yi ne yao pha lei?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Hì ne ji duiine ro, bran jia è sohjambling shii zab è ididuii thanaro iriie ji yi srane raig shii jiie pha wuii dun.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Ji è jiie marui pha idoh è ji pha misieng ne zab è de boh re ne sieng mage shii ji pha idiphak pha ilem shii fuiithek wuii ne irungthek rak ro.But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”

33Isu è branthek shii awai bajo najang è hì duiine awai mua ji yua; ai ne ithek shii khama gao mua pha rek ne yao phi ro.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Ai ne khuchung magunde najang è ayao phane nyie de ayao dang ro, jishii ai ne awai samoy rog shii ji pha najang pha miyao siuthek ne wie rek ne yao phi ne gao yi ro.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Jipha habjuang shii, Isu è awai samoythek shii yao, “Cho gethek ne khabang iring thrang hà wuii sha rai haro.”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Ji-è ithek ne run moe pha ibrogthek shii thoh marui ne Isu injong pha run shii khud ne in dun, jiè rek pha ji shii gai runthek de bajo um ro.After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.

37Humblo shii hasam boh sam mage, chiih-è khasao ne run lakhung shii jao thog.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Isu ne run pha idoh hà dun srane awai khrug shii tharo rone athan dang pha men dun. Samoythek è Isu shii chun ne ho, “Masdo, gathek iy sha pha rek muii pha ji ne na athieg bey?”But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

39Isu è jai srane ji pha hasam nane khasao shii yung, ji è giung dang shii ji pha hasam ne them dun. Thiichiih ne bajo liijiing rey dun.Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

40Chiihphado, Isu è awai samoy shii yao, “Nathek ne nyie rek ne rum phlei? Thuh de nathek ne migi oi ba bey?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Jishii ithek ne Isu blia ji doh mage ne bajo rum dun chiih-è awaithek chung yao rai, “Hì ne hanyie lei? Hasam nane khajaothek de ai miyao nuii dun ro!”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
