Mark 4 (TCZCHONG)

1Avelin dil panga thu ahilpan kit tai. Mipi tamtah akom'a ahung kikhom pai jengun, Ama kong sunga aluttan ahi. Kong sunga chun atouvin, mipite chu vaokama atouvun ahi.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.

2Amaho chu thulem'in thu tamtah ahil'in,And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Ngaiyun! Muchi thepa muchi then achen ahi.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Athe athe leh abang lamsih ah achun, hiho chu vachaten ahungloh un anegam tauvin ahi.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Chule abang songlheo chunga leipatna lah a achun, alei asalou jeh in akehdoh jengin,Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ahivangin nisan ahin kah phat in asang gon, jung aneilou jeh in agoplha paitan ahi.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Chule abang linglah a achun, ling ho chu ahung khangin chang phung dong nalaiho chu adeplih tan, ahinga aum tapoi.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Adang ho chu leiphalaiya achun, ahung khangin aga tan, hiho chu ajat somthum, ajat somgup, ajat jakhat chengin apung tan ahi!”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.”

9Chuin Aman aseijin, “Koi hileh khojahna ding nakhang neiyin ngaihen,” ati.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Chomkhat jouvin aseijui som le ni ho toh akimvela midang ho toh aum khom pet in, ama hon athulem seiho chu ipi kiseina ham tin adong un.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11Aman adonbut in, “Pathen Lenggam thuguh chu nangho kipea nahi tauve. Hinlah thulema kaseina jeh chu polam miho jah ding ahi,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,

12Hichu Lekhabun aseisa agui lhunna ding: ‘Ka thilbol amu teng ule, ima jildoh hetdoh aneilou diu. Ka thusei ajah teng ule, ima hetdoh aneilou diu. Achutilou le keima lam'ah hung kiheiyun tin, ngaidam chang get unte,’” kiti chu ahi, ati.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Chuin Jesun akom uva, “Nanghon hiche thulem hi nahetlou mong uham? Achutile thulem dang jouse iti nahe tadiu vem?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Lou bolpan muchi athe chu Pathen thu midang kom'a kihil lhaang tobang ahi.The farmer sows the word.

15Muchi kithe lamsih a chu hon avetsah chu ahileh, Pathen thu ja a ahivanga Satan in ahung kilhoh mang pai toh tekah ahi.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.

16Songlheo chung leipatna lah a chu hon avetsah chu, athu ajah jah a thanom tah a joppai jengho ahi.Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17Ahivangin amaho chu jung neilou ahijeh un, apangsot jouji pouve. Pathen thu tahsan jeh a boina le suhgimna ato tengule, jung aneilou jeh uvin alhupaiji tauve.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.

18Ling lah a muchi kithe hon avetsah chu Pathen thu ja a,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ahivanga leiset hinkho lungkhamna ten alodimsetna, haona lungthim chule thil dang-dang ngaichat nan thu chu adeplih jeh a ga sodoh joulou tobang ahi.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.

20Chule leipha laiya chuhon avetsah chu athu ja a, hea jopte chu ahiuvin, abang ajat somthum, abang jat somgup chule abang ajatja a aga punsah beho ahiuve,” ati.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.”

21Chuin Jesun ajah uva, “Koiyin meivah khu lo sung le jalkhun noiya atun ngaiyem? Koiman bolponte! Meivah chu avah hoiselna ding mun'a aki tungjin ahi.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?

22Ijeh-inem itileh thil kiselguh chengse chu achaina leh kiphongdoh ding, chuleh akiselguh jouse chu vahdoh ding ahi.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Koi hileh khojahna ding nakhang neiyin ngaihenchule hethem hen,” ati.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Chuin aman aseiben, “Najah chengseu chu lunglut tah in ngaiyun. Phatah a na ngai chan uva, hetgilna nakipe diu ahi—chule kipehbe ding bon nahiuve.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.

25Koi hileh ka thuhil ngaiho chu hetbena kipehbe ding, ahinlah koi hileh ka thuhil ngailou chu ahetsa themkhat jong amahoa kon'a kilahmang peh ding ahi,” ati.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Jesun ajah uva, “Pathen Lenggam umdol chu loubolmi khat in leiya muchi athe tobang ahi.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Asun ajan'a a-imut pet chuleh aha pet hijongleh, amuchi the chu ahung kehdoh in, akhanglen in, hinlah aman hitia chu thil iti hung umdoh ham ahepoi.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Leiset in achamin ahin gadohsah jin, amasapen in avui ahung dondoh in, chuteng achaina leh ahung gadoh in aminji tai.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29Aga chu amin phat leh, a atphat ahitah jeh in loubolpa achen, koiten a atpaiji tai,” ati.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Jesun aseiben, “Pathen Lenggam hi ipi toh kitekah ding hitam? Ipi thulema ka hilchet ding hitam?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ankam mu leiya kithe tobang ahi, hichu muchi lah a aneopen ahi.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Ahivangin ahung kedoh tengleh hampa dang jouse sangin alenjon, abah lentah jong ahin sodoh jin, chuti chun chunga leng vachate abah lim noiya ahung geh jiuvin ahi,” ati.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.”

33Chuin chutobang thulem tamtah mangchan ama hon ahetthei diu kham thu ahil e.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Mihonpi jah a thulem tilouvin imacha asei khapoi. Ahinla aseijui te chengse vang chu guhthimin ijakai ahilchen jinai.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Chuin nilhah in Jesun aseijui te kom'a, “Hungun, dil khu agal langa galkaiyu hite,” ati.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Chuti chun mihonpi chu adalha uvin, Jesu chu konga akitolpi tauvin, kong dang phabep in vang ahinjuiyun ahi.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.

37Chuin khopi hui ahung nungin ahileh, twi kinong chu kong sunga ahung kinonglut matchet jeng tan, adimpai ding ahitan ahi.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38Apet chun Jesu chu kong mei lama lukhap kikhap in ana ihmun, aseijui ten asukhang'un ajah ah, “Houhil, kalhummang gam dingu hi imalouva nagel ham?” ati tauve.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?”

39Jesu akhah phat in huipi chu aphoh in, twi-nong jah ah, “Thipmin! Thipchet in!” tia thu apeh leh, apettah in huipi chu athipchet jeng tan, kho aphasel tan ahi.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.

40Chuin Aman ajah uva, “Ibola nakichat uham? Tahsanna nanei nailou uham?” atitai.“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Seijui ho chu akithing jeng tauvin, “Hiche pa hi koi mongmong hiya, huipi le twi-nongin jong athu angai ahitadem!” tin aki dongto tauvin ahi.Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
