¹Huan dil piau ah thu a hilh nawnta a. Huan mipi hon tampi tak a kiangah a hongkikhawm ua, huchiin, dil ah longah a tuanga, a tu a, mipi hon tengteng tuh dil piau a leitung ah a om ua.

¹And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

²Huan, gentehna thuin thil tampi a hilh a; a thuhilhna ah a kiang uah,

²And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

³Ngai khia unla, en dih ua; buhchithehpa buhchi theh dingin a kuan a.

³Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

⁴Huan, hichi a honghi a, a theh laiin a khen lampi sikah a kia a, vasaten a nezota ua.

⁴And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

⁵Huan, a khen suangsi lei lakah a kia a; lei a sah louh jiakin a pou pah

⁵And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

⁶Himahleh, ni a hong suahin haivuaiin a hongoma, zung a neih louh jiakin a vuai mangta mai hi.

⁶But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

⁷Huan, akhen loulingnei lakah a kia a, loupa tuh a hongkhang sanga, a depmangta a, gah himhim a gahta kei hi.

⁷And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

⁸Huan, a khen lei hoih ah a kia a, a pou a, a khangliana, a gahta a; a leh sawmthum khawng, a leh sawmguk khawng, aleh ja khawngin a pung chiatta uh, a chi a.

⁸And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

⁹Huan, amahmahin, Kuapeuh jakna ding a bil neiin ja uheh, a chi a.

⁹And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁰Huan, a tang om laiin a kima omten sawm leh nihte toh gentehna thu tuh a dong chian ua.

¹⁰And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

¹¹Huan, aman tuh akiang uah, Pathian gam thuguk jaw noute kianga piak ahi a, po lam mite a dingin bel bangkim gentehnaa gen ahi; huchiin.

¹¹And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

¹²Muh jaw a mu thei na ua, theihsiam jaw a theisiam louhna ding un; huchilou injaw a kihei nawn ding ua, ngaihdam a honghi kha ding uh, a chi a.

¹²That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

¹³Huan, amahmahin, a kiang uah, Hiai gentehna thu na theisiam kei umaw? Huchi ahihin bangchin gentehna thu dang tengtengte na theisiam tuan ding ua?

¹³And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

¹⁴Buhchithehpan thu a theh ahi.

¹⁴The sower soweth the word.

¹⁵Huan, lam sika thu thehnate tuh hiai bang ahi uh; thu a jak tak un Setanin a lungtang ua thu theh tuh a laksak pahpah a.

¹⁵And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

¹⁶Huan, huchibangmahin suangsi leitunga theh tuh hiai-te ahi uh; thu a jak phet ua kipak taka pom pahte bang

¹⁶And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

¹⁷himahleh amau ah zung himhim a neikei ua, sawt lou chik kia a om uh; huai nungin thu jiaka gimthuakna hiam sawina hiam a hongom phetin a kipukpah pah uhi.

¹⁷And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

¹⁸Huan, mi dangte tuh loulingnei laka theh ahi uh; huaiten tuh thu a zata ua

¹⁸And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

¹⁹himahleh khovel lungkhamnate, thil dang duhgawlnate a honglut chiangin, thu a dep a, gah louin a om nak.

¹⁹And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

²⁰Huan, lei hoiha tuh bel hiaite ahi uh; thu ja a, poma, a leh sawmthum khawng, a leh sawmguk khawng, a leh ja khawnga gahte ahi uh, a chi a.

²⁰And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

²¹Huan, amahmahin, a kiang uah, Khawnvak a koihnaa koih lou a, loh nuai hiam, lupna nuai hiam a koih dingin a honla ngei ua hia?

²¹And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

²²Thang lou dinga im bangmah a om ngei keia, langlou dinga sel bangmah a om sam kei.

²²For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

²³Kuapeuhin jakna dinga bil a neih uleh ja uheh, a chi a.

²³If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

²⁴Huan, amahmahin, a kiang uah, Na jak uh bang ahia, pilvang un; na tehna ngei mah ua piakin na om ding ua, a tam jaw bawn piakin na om ding uh.

²⁴And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

²⁵Kuapeuh a nei tuh piak behlap in om ding ua, kuapeuh a neilou tuh a neih sun nangawn laksak in om ding uh, a chi a.

²⁵For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

²⁶Huan, a mahmahin, Pathian gam tuh min leia chi a tuh bang ahi.

²⁶And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

²⁷Jan chiangin a ihmu a, sun chiangin a thou jela; chi tuh ana pouin ana khanga, himahleh bangchi a pou a bangchi a khang ahia chih a theikei.

²⁷And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

²⁸Leiin amahin gah a honsuah jela; A masapenin a kung, huan, a vui, huan, a vui ah a tang.

²⁸For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

²⁹Himahleh, huai a gah a hongmin chiangin, buh lak a hun tak jiakin, kaite in atpah hi, a chi a.

²⁹But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

³⁰Huan, amahmahin, Pathian gam tuh bangtoh i tehpih dia? ahihkeileh, bang gentehna thin ahia i genteh ding?

³⁰And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

³¹Ankam chi tang khat leia a tuh un, leia chi tengteng sangin neupen mahleh,

³¹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

³²a tuh nung un a hongpou a, loupa tengteng sangin a honglianzota a, hiang lian taktak a honnei a, huchiin tungleng vasate tuh a lim ah a giak uhi, huchi bangmah ahi, a chi a.

³²But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

³³Huan, huchi bang gentehna thu tampiin, a jak theih khomkhom un, thu a kiang uah a gen jel a.

³³And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

³⁴Himahleh, gentehna lou in a kiang uah thu a gen ngei kei; amah nungjuite kiangah tuh a simin bangkim a hilhchian jel hi.

³⁴But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

³⁵Huan, huai ni mahin, nitaklam a honghihin, aman, a kiang uah Gal khat lam i kai ding uh, a chi a.

³⁵And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

³⁶Huchiin, mipite pai sanin, amah, a om ngeingei bangin, long ah a paipih pah ngal ua, Long dangte leng a kiangah a om hi.

³⁶And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

³⁷Huan, huihpi thupitak a hongnung a, tuikihawtte tuh longah a hongkihawt lut juajua a, huchiin long a hong dim dek maimah a,

³⁷And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

³⁸huan, amah tuh, lukham khama ihmuin, long mei lamah a oma. Huan, a phawng ua, a kiangah, Heutupa, ka manthat uh khawksa lou na hi maw? a chi ua

³⁸And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

³⁹Huan, amah hongkhanglouta a, huih tuh a taia, dil kiangah leng, Dai inla, om kinken in, achia, Huan, huih tuh a tawpta a, a hong dai dide maimah.

³⁹And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

⁴⁰Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Bangchi a hichi tela lau na hi ua oi? Ginna himhim nei nai lou na hi umaw? a chi a.Huan, lau petmahin a lau ua, Hiai mi kua ahia le, huih leh dil nangawnin a thu aman uh? a kichi khiukheu uh.

⁴⁰And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

⁴¹Huan, lau petmahin a lau ua, Hiai mi kua ahia le, huih leh dil nangawnin a thu aman uh? a kichi khiukheu uh.

⁴¹And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
