Berean Standard Bible
1Anih loe tuipui taengah kaminawk patuk amtong let bae: a taengah kami paroeai angpop o pongah, anih loe palong thungah akunh moe, anghnut; pop parai kaminawk loe tuicing ah oh o.
1Once 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.
2Anih mah paroeai hmuen kawng to patahhaih hoiah nihcae hanah patuk, anih mah patukhaih lok hoiah nihcae khaeah,
2And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
3tahngai oh; Khenah, aanmu haeh kami loe aanmu haeh hanah a caeh:
3“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4aanmu to a haeh naah, thoemto loe loklam taengah krak, tavaanawk angzoh o moe, aanmu to akhui o boih.
4And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5Thoemto loe long kathah ai, kapop thlung nuiah krak; long to tampa pongah, aanmu loe akra ai ah amprawk roep:
5Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6toe ni to bet moe, kabae ni mah dawk naah loe, tangzun om ai pongah, azaem ving.
6But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7Thoemto aanmu loe soekhring thungah krak, soekhring kungnawk loe qoeng o tahang moe, aanmu to tacet o hmoek, to pongah athaih athai ai.
7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
8Kalah aanmu loe long kahoih nuiah krak, a qoeng tahang moe, kapop ah aquih to tacawt; thoemto loe qui thum, thoemto loe qui taruk, thoemto loe cumvai khoek to pung o tahang, tiah a naa.
8Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
9Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Thaihaih naa tawn kami loe, thaih nasoe, tiah a naa.
9Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10Anih angmah bueng oh naah, hatlai hnetto hoi a taengah kaom kaminawk mah patahhaih lok to dueng o.
10As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
11Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae ih lok tamqu panoek thaihaih to nangcae khaeah paek boeh: toe tasa bangah kaom kaminawk hanah loe, hmuen boih patahhaih hoiah ni thuih:
11He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
12nihcae loe hnu o tih, toe maat o mak ai; thaih loe thaih o tih, toe panoek o thai mak ai; to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae mah poekhaih amkhraih o ueloe, nihcae zaehaihnawk to tahmen moeng tih, tiah thuih ih lok to oh, tiah a naa.
12so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
13To pongah anih mah nihcae khaeah, Hae patahhaih lok hae na panoek o thai ai maw? Na panoek o thai ai nahaeloe patahhaih hoiah thuih ih loknawk boih to kawbangmaw na panoek o thai tih?
13Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
14Aanmu haeh kami loe tamthanglok to a haeh.
14The farmer sows the word.
15Lam taengah kaom kaminawk kheah tamthang lok to a haeh, to kaminawk loe tamthanglok to thaih o, toe Setan loe karangah angzoh moe, nihcae palung thungah haeh ih tamthanglok to lak pae ving, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni.
15Some 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.
16Thoemto kaminawk loe kapop thlung ahmuen ah kakrah aanmu hoiah anghmong o; nihcae mah lok to thaih o naah, anghoehaih hoiah talawk o roep;
16Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17toe tangzun om ai pongah, atue setta thung khue ni pauep thaih: tamthang lok pongah raihaih hoi pacaekthlaekhaih oh naah, nihcae loe amtimh o roep.
17But 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.
18Thoemto kaminawk loe soekhring thungah kakrah aanmu hoiah anghmong o; nihcae loe tamthang lok to thaih o,
18Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
19toe hae long nui ih hmuen pongah mawnhaih hoi long angraenghaih mah aling pongah, kalah hmuennawk koehhaih to akun naah, tamthang lok to khuk khoep, to pongah athaih athai ai.
19but 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.
20Thoemto kaminawk loe kahoih long nuiah kakrah aanmu hoiah anghmong; nihcae mah tamthang lok to thaih o naah, talawk o moe, athaih to athaih; thoemto loe alet quithum, thoemto loe quitaruk, thoemto loe cumvai khoek to pung o tahang, tiah a naa.
20Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
21Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Hmaithawk loe takho tlim ah, to tih ai boeh loe iihkhun tlim ah suek han ih maw a sinh o? Hmai paanghaih ahmuen ah na ai maw a suek?
21Jesus 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?
22To tiah suek naah ni amtueng ai hmuen tidoeh om ai, kangvingh hmuen doeh om ai ah, amtueng phaeng tih.
22For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
23Thaihaih naa tawn kami loe, thaih nasoe.
23If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Na thaih o ih hmuennawk to acoehaih hoiah poek oh: minawk na tahhaih hmuen hoiah ni nang doeh tah toeng tih: kathaih kami nang khaeah, pop aep ah paek tih.
24He 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.
25Katawn kami to pop aep ah paek ueloe: katawn ai kami loe a tawnh ih hmuen doeh la pae kik tih, tiah a naa.
25For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26Anih mah, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae loe, kami maeto mah long ah haeh ih aanmu baktiah ni oh;
26Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27aqum ah iih moe, khodai naah angthawk, aanmu loe amprawk moe, qoeng tahang, toe kawbangmaw to tiah oh, tito anih mah panoek ai.
27Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
28Angmah koehah long hoiah aquih to tacawt; tadok tacawt tahang hmaloe pacoengah, aquih to tacawt moe, athaih to athaih.
28All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
29Toe cang hmin naah loe, aah han khawt boeh pongah, anih mah cakra hoiah a aah, tiah a naa.
29And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30Anih mah, Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae to kawbangah maw kang patuek o han, to tih ai boeh loe tih hmuen hoiah maw a patah o han?
30Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
31Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae loe antam mu hoiah anghmong, antam mu loe long ah patit naah, long ih aanmunawk boih pongah kathoeng koek ah oh:
31It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
32toe amu to haeh moe, amprawk tahang naah loe, phrohnawk boih pongah len kue, anih ih tahlip tlim ah van ih tavaanawk acuk o thai hanah, kalen parai tanghangnawk to tacawt, tiah a naa.
32But 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.”
33Nihcae mah panoek o thaih pongah, to baktih paroeai patahhaih hoiah lok to a thuih pae.
33With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34Patahhaih lok ai ah loe nihcae khaeah lokthui pae ai: angmacae bueng oh o naah loe, a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah hmuennawk boih kamtuengah a thuih pae.
34He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35To na ni, duembang phak naah loe, anih mah nihcae khaeah, Vapui zaeh bangah caeh o si, tiah a naa.
35When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
36A hnukbang kaminawk loe pop parai kaminawk khae hoiah tacawt o moe, palong thung kaom Anih to caeh o haih. Kalah kathoeng kae palongnawk doeh anih hoi nawnto sin o.
36After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
37To naah takhi sae to song moe, palong thungah tuiphu to akunh, to pongah palong loe tui hoiah koi.
37Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
38Anih loe palong hnuk bangah, luhngoeng maeto anghngoeng moe a iih: a hnukbang kaminawk mah anih to pathawk o, anih khaeah, Patukkung, kang hmaat o han boeh, tiah doeh nang dawncang ai boeh maw? tiah a naa o.
38But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
39Anih loe angthawk moe, takhi to zoeh, tuipui khaeah, Dii ah loe, anghngai duem ah, tiah a naa. To naah takhi to dip moe, paroeai monghaih to oh.
39Then 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.
40Anih mah, Tipongah to tih khoek to na zit o loe, tanghaih na tawn o ai maw? tiah a naa.
40“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
41Nihcae loe paroeai zit o moe, Hae kami loe kawbaktih kami maw vai? Takhi hoi tuipui mah doeh a lok to tahngai pae o bae hae, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
41Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
