Matthew 13 (BGG)

1Jipha inai shii Isu è hò thoh marui ne khabang ring hà wuii dun, thiisa hà ai dug srane yua.That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2Ibrog khrab dun pha ji ne bajo boh habuii ne ai run hà dun ne raidun chiih-è branthek ne bajo leyphiing dun pha ji è ai ne run hà in srane thog dun. Ji shii ibrog yi iring hà riu.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

3Ai è najangthek è ithek shii bajo manathek è yuaphi. “Luang jia bran jia yi iriie wey pha wuii dun.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ai è raig shii iriie yi dayiingdayang rek marui, giak yi lumuii hà chiih dun, chiih-è fuiithek 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 yi lubao sarong shii chiih dun, ji ne nyiak ìujia bie habuii ne, iriie ji khthiie sieng thog, nyieliieshii nyiak ne muna jam oi ro.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Jishii hasiang thog mage shii, misieng nyiu ne shud dun; chiih-è nyieliieshii iriing ijam dab pha acho, jiè misieng ne khthiie gowdun.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Giak iriie ne migem biing shii chiih dun. Jipha misieng ne siang jimagunde shii ne giao dun.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.

8Jishii giak iriiethek yi nyiak wie shii chiihdun, chiih-è misiengthek ne iwoi woi: giak ne biiriie wieng jia thog pha iwoithek woi, giak ne biiriie sariig thog pha, chiih-è giak ne biiriie sa-uom thog pha woi ruii.”Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.

9Isu è yao ched, chiihphado “Nathek shii yoi pha khohthek um arone yoi bo!”He who has ears, let him hear.”

10Chiihphado samoythek è Isu shii wuii srane aishii sai, “Na ne branthek shii yua shii nyie rek ne najang è yua phlei?”Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”

11Isu è chang, “Hamangkhung pha Sajathua pha miyao ug ne ruii pha ji è nathek shii phijong ro. Jishii ithek shii asi ro.”He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12Hanyie shii ìujia um pho shii ne muna phi ruii phro, jiè aishii ne chodang pha um ruii phro; jimagunde hanyie shii nyie oi pho shii ne ìujia um ne de yie dun phro.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.

13Gu è najangthek è yao pha chiang ji ne ithek shii riig yi, jimagunde adoh phi; chiih-è ithek ne yoi, jimagunde ithek ne ayoi chiih-è agao phi ro.This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’

14Ji-è Aijaya chaig è ithek shii yao marui ro; Hì pha branthek ne yoi pha ne yoi, jimagunde de agao phi ro; ithek ne riig pha ne riig, jimagunde adoh phi ro,In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15nyieliieshii, ithek khanithek ne blan ro, chiih-è ithek ne awaithek khohthek ne chiieg muii Chiih-è awaithek mieg ne siiemuii ro. Asi arone, ithek mieg de doh ruii, ithek khoh de yoi ruii phro, chiih-è, ithek khanithek de gao ruii phro. Chiih-è, ithek de gu shii khid ruii, Hamangkhung-aphuii shii yao chiih-è gu ne ithek nyagang mua.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“Nathek ne khama wie ro! Nathek miegthek ne doh dun ro, chiih-è nathek khow ne yoi ro.”But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17Gu è nathek shii izai yao, chaigthek nane Hamangkhung-aphuii pha branthek è ithek duiine bajo doh pha now shii jimagunde adoh mua phi. Nathek è nyie yoi pha ji yoi pha now shii ayoi phi.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.

18Yoi bo, chiihphado wey pha najang pha miyaosiu ne yoi mage bo;Consider, then, the parable of the sower:

19Hanyie è Sajathua pha mua ji yoi ne agao pho ne iriiethek ne lumuii shii chiih pha ji duiine ro. Awie pha jia è wuii srane ithek shii nyie wey pha ji ne zab riao ne yiedun;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.

20chiih-è, lubao sarong shii chiih pha iriiethek ji ne hanyie thek è mua ji bajo wie lised ne khthiie yoi dun.The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21Jishii, hì ne ithek bucho hà akhud mua, chiih-è ishak phiang thog pha arai mua. Ji-è ji pha mua chiang è diig nane diigchiao thog mage shii, ithek ne khthiie thoh muii phro.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.

22Migembiing shii chiih pha iriie ne hì ro, hanyie thek è mua ji yoi, jimagunde ichiih pha chai chiang shii samdiig srane bukho rek pha ji miie ne mua shii giao dun, chiih-è ithek ne iwoi awoi mua.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.

23Chiih-è nyiak wie shii chiih pha iriie ne hì duiine ro, hanyie è mua ji yoi ne guadun: ithek ne iwoi woi ruii, “giak ne biiriie wieng jia thog pha woi ruii, giak ne biiriie sariig thog pha, giak ne biiriie sa-uom thog pha woi ruii.”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.”

24Isu è ithek shii gai najang yao, “Hamangkhung pha Sajathua hì duiine ro” bran jia è awai raig shii iriie wie hai marui.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25Biu jia, zab men ched dun shii, mak è wuii srane phiug duchoi shii saingthek wey marui ne dun dun.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

26Misiengthek yi sieng ne igam jao ne rey ramuii shii, chiihphado saingthek sieng mage.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27Jipha khiao è dun srane masdo shii yao, “masdo!” Na ne nawai raig shii ne iriie wie ji hai marui, saingthek ne khi-è thog ruii phlei?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“Hì ne giak shuang pho miihai iwa!” Ai è chang. Na ne gathek shii wuii ne sieg muii bo ne yang bey, “ithek è chang?‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29Asi, ai è chang, nyieliieshii, nathek è saing ji sieg mage shii ithek rog pha phiugthek de siegdun phro.‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30Ji-è phiug nane saing shii ne yamiing rey pha ishak thog dang pha ò sieng yi bo. Chiihphado gu yamiing rekpho shii yao ne igobi ji pha saingthek sieg yi pha ro, ithek shii pho ne bai hà ziao muii, chiih-è phiug shii khrab srane gu haphuii shii chab muii phro.”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.’”

31Isu è ithek shii gai najang è yao: “Hamangkhung pha Sajathua ne hì duiine ro! Bran jia è danaro iriie yie srane awai raig shii wey.He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.

32Hì ne zab pha iriiethek è ìu ro, jimagunde ji sieng mage shii, hì ne zab pha misieng è boh rey dun. Hì ne hingmuii rey, jiè fuiithek wuii ne ji pha idiphak shii irungthek rok.”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.”

33Isu è gai najang è yao bamuii: “Hamangkhung pha Sajathua ne ji duiine ro! Hò-amuii è phiia yie srane siiriie sawi muhab shii abog sapho shii ne lua ne raidun.”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.”

34Isu è ibrogthek shii hìthek zab yao pha ne najang yao; ai ithek shii najang è ayao pha ne nyie de ayao phi.Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

35Ai è ji è rek pha ji è chaig è nyie yao marui pha jithek izai rey yi, “Gu è nathek shii yao ruii shii, najang yao ruii phro; Gu ne nathek shii sohjambling zen pha ishak è athieg pha miyaothek yao ruii phro.”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.”

36Isu è bran ibrogthek shii thoh marui ne iliing hà dun dun, ai samoythek è aishii wuii srane yao, “Saing raig pha najang chiang ji nyie yao phlei ne gathek shii yao riig bo.”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.”

37Isu è chang, “Bran hanyie è iriie hai marui pha ji ne Bran Dufuii ji ro;He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38Raig ji ne sohjambling ro; iriie wie ji ne hanyie Sajathua pha bran ithek ro ro. Saingthek ne hanyie awie pha jia jithek ro,The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39chiih-è hanyie è saingthek hai pha mak ji ne ibuii ji ro. Yamiing jong pha ishak ji ro, chiih-è, yamiing pha bliapho ne hamangkhliie ro.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40Saingthek shii khrab ne bai hà fu muii pha duiine, jong pha ishak shii de ji duiine rey ruii phro;As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

41Bran Dufuii è airo Sajathua è fuang pho hanyie è branthek shii layog rek yi ne chiih-è hanyie è awie pha blia rek pho shii khrab pha thoh ge.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.

42Ithek shii bai hòi boh shii fen muii phro, ithek ne choh ne sinyin khriig ruii phro.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43Chiihphado Hamangkhung-aphuii pha branthek ne Aphuii Sajathua hà hasiang duiine chuang ruii phro. Hanyie thek khohthek um pho ne yoi mage bo!Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44“Hamangkhung pha Sajathua ne hì duiine ro.” Bran jia è raig shii nuruii ug ne ruii pha ji doh. Ai è dinne chaig, chiih-è bajo sang ne dun ne awaishii nyie um pha manathek zab chongjai rek muii srane ji pha idoh wuii srane ji pha raig pheg.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“Hamangkhung pha Sajathua ne hì duiine ro, bran jia è wie rishang sow.”Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

46Ai è igong um pha rishang jia doh mage shii, ai ne dun srane awai shii nyie um pha ji liu srane ji pha rishang shii pheg ro.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.

47Hamangkhung pha Sajathua ne hì duiine ro, giak ù ua pho è kho shii chiug mua ne ichua ichua ù zum.Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.

48Jipha chiug ley mage shii, ithek iring shii khia srane dug ne ù gua: wie ji ne sikhen hà chab muii chiih-è wie pha ji shii ne awie pha ji è gua ne fen muii,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.

49hì ne jong pha ishak shii hì duiine rey ruii phro: “hamangkhliiethek wuii srane awie pha branthek shii wie pha branthek duchoi è khrab muii phro.So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

50Chiih-è ithek shii ne bai hang shii fen muii phro, thiisa hà ithek ne choh ne shinyin khriieg ruii phro.and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51“Nathek ne hì pha miyao ji gaojong bey?” Isu è ithek shii sai. “Um,” ithek è chang.Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.

52Ji-è, ai è chang, “chiihphado, hì pha miyaosiu ne Iphey yua pha masdo hanyie è hamangkhung pha Sajathua pha samoy rey dun pho ne, hò muspho hanyie è awai haphuii è iwo nane ihèg manathek yi pha ji duiine ro.”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.”

53Isu è najang jithek yao ched dang shii, ai è ji pha ithua thoh muii.When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.

54Chiih-è awai hò hà idoh dun. Ai è Jewthek misiahò shii yuaphi. Chiih-è hanyie è aishii yoi pho ne wieng dun. “Aishii hì pha khani khi è mua phlei?” Ithek è yao. “Chiih-è hì pha buangthek nyie lei?”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.

55Ai ne zao rek pha dufuii ji asi bey? Ai amuii ne Mery ji asi bey? Ai khuiithek ne Jems, Joseph, Simon nane Judas thek asi bey?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

56Ai bumuiithek ne ichiih shii rai pha jithek asi bey? Ai ne ji pha manathek ne khi è mua dun phlei?Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”

57Chiih-è ithek è aishii snai muii. Isu è ithek shii yao, “Chaig shii ne gai pha ithua thek hà ilab rek phi phro, chiih-è, awai hò pha bajarai nane awai haliingthek è ilab arek phi phro.”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.”

58Nyieliieshii, ithek ne aishii lubu è migi arek phi. Ji-è, thiichiih shii ai è buangthek pha blia bajo arek phi.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
