Mariko 4
1 Kendo Yesu nochako puonjo e dho nam. To oganda maduongʼ nochokore molwore omiyo nodonjo ei yie mi obetie ka ji duto to ochungʼ oko e dho nam.
AND again he began to teach by the sea side: and a vast multitude was assembled about him, so that he went into a vessel to sit down on the sea, and all the multitude was on the land close by the sea.
2 Yesu nopuonjogi gik mangʼeny e yor ngeche. E puonjnego nowacho niya,
And he taught them in parables many things, and said unto them in the course of his teaching,
3 “Winjauru! Japur moro nodhi chwoyo kodhi,
Hear me! Behold, a sower went out to sow;
4 kane oyudo ochwoyo, kodhi moko nolwar e dir yo, mi winy nobiro mochamogi duto.
and it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
5 Kodhi moko nolwar kuonde motimo lwendni, ma lowo operoree mine gitwi piyo piyo, nikech lowo ne thany thany.
And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 To ka chiengʼ nowuok, chamgo nowangʼ, kendo nikech ne gionge tiendegi, ne gitwo.
and when the sun arose it was scorched up; and because it had not root, it withered away.
7 Kodhi moko nolwar e kind kudho, to ka kudhogo nodongo, ne githungʼo chamgo mi gimonogi nyak.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it, and it produced no fruit.
8 To kodhi moko to nolwar e lowo maber, mine gitwi kendo gichiego cham. Neginyago cham, moko nyadi piero adek, moko nyadi piero auchiel, kendo moko nyadi mia achiel.”
And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up, and increasing, and yielded one part thirty fold, and another sixty, and another an hundred.
9 Bangʼe Yesu nomedo wacho niya, “Ngʼat man-gi it mar winjo wach mondo owinji.”
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Kane odongʼ kende, jopuonjrene apar gariyo gi jomoko mane ni bute nopenje tiend ngechego.
But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.
11 Nowachonigi niya, “Un osemiu rieko mar ngʼeyo tiend gik mopondo mag pinyruoth Nyasaye. To joma moko, to iwuoyogo gi ngeche
And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are without, all things are in parables:
12 mondo mi, “‘gisik ka gingʼicho to ok ginine gimoro, kendo gisik ka giwinjo weche miwacho to wach ok nodonjnegi; nimar dipo ka gilokore mi owenegi richogi!’”
That seeing they may see, yet not perceive; and hearing may hear, yet not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 Yesu nomedo loso kodgi kowachonegi niya, “Ere kaka ok unyal winjo tiend ngeroni? Ka kamano to bende ubiro winjo tiend ngero moro amora?
And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all parables?
14 Japur chwoyo kodhi ma en Wach.
The sower soweth the word.
15 Jomoko chalo gi kodhi molwar e dir yo, kama ichwoyoe Wach. E sa nogo ma jogi owinjoe Wach to Satan biro mi magi Wach ma giwinjono.
Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on their hearts:
16 Jomoko to chalo mana kaka kodhi mochwo kuonde motimo lwanda. Gin giwinjo Wach kendo girwake sano gi mor.
and these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly with joy receive it;
17 To nikech gionge tiendegi Wach ok bedi eigi amingʼa. Ka chandruok kata sand obiro nigi nikech Wach Nyasaye to gipodho piyo piyo nono.
and have no root in themselves, but are temporary professors: afterwards, when tribulation cometh or persecution for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
18 Moko chalo kaka kodhi molwar e kind kudho.
And those are the sown among the thorns; such as are hearers of the word;
19 To achien parruok kuom ngima mar pinyni gi wuond ma mwandu kelo kaachiel gi gombo mag pinyni ma gigombogo gik mathoth, thungʼo Wach mamone nyak. (aiōn g165)
but the anxious cares of this world, and the seducing nature of wealth, and inordinate desires after other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Moko to chal mana gi kodhi mochuo e lowo maber, giwinjo Wach mi girwaki. Kendo ginyak maber mana ka kodhi manyak nyadi piero adek, nyadi piero auchiel, nyaka nyadi mia achiel.”
And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 Nowachonegi niya, “Bende ngʼato kuomu nyalo moko taya bangʼe to oume gi bakul kata okete e bwo kitanda? Donge okete ewi rachungi taya?
And he said unto them, Is a lamp brought out to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not to be placed on a stand?
22 Ngʼeuru ni onge gimoro mopandi ma ok nofweny, to bende onge gimoro amora mitimo lingʼ-lingʼ ma ok noket e lela.
For there is nothing hid, but that it should be brought to light, nor is any thing concealed, but that it should come into open day.
23 Ka ngʼato nigi it mar winjo wach to mondo owinji.”
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Yesu nodhi nyime kawachonegi niya, “Chikuru itu maber mondo uwinj weche miwachonu, nimar rapim mupimogo ema ibiro pimnugo un bende, kendo moloyo kanyo.
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure ye mete, shall it be measured back to you; and something over shall be given to you that hear.
25 Ngʼat man-go nomedne mi nobed gi gik mogundho; to ngʼat ma ongego kata mano ma en-go nomaye.”
For to him that hath, there shall more be given to him; but he that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
26 Nowacho bende niya, “Ma e kaka pinyruoth Nyasaye chalo. Ngʼato chwoyo kodhi e lowo.
And he said, The kingdom of heaven is of that kind, as if a man should cast seed into his field;
27 Otieno kata odiechiengʼ, kata ka onindo kata oneno, to kodhigo twi atwiya mi dongi, ka jachwoyo ok ongʼeyo kaka mano timore.
and sleep and rise, night and day, and the sown corn should sprout, and grow into length, he knoweth not how:
28 Lowo owuon ema golo kodhi; mokwongo tiendene wuok, eka wiye gulo oko kaeto bangʼe kodhi dongo mi chieg cham.
for the earth, naturally prolific, beareth fruit; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
29 Ka cham osechiek to gikanyono wuon puodho kawo pand keyo mondo okayego.”
But when the grain is ready, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because harvest is come.
30 Nowacho kendo niya, “En yo mane ma wanyalo pimogo pinyruoth Nyasaye, kata en ngero mane manyalo nyisowa kite?
And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God, and under what parabolic figure shall I represent it?
31 Ochal gi koth karadali ma en e kodhi matinie mogik mikomo e puodho.
It is like a grain of mustard, which when it is sown in the earth, is among the least of all the seeds which are upon the earth:
32 To kata otin kamano to kosekome to odongo mi obed maduongʼ moloyo yiende mag puodho duto. Bedene yarore madongo mi winy mafuyo e kor polo biro ywe e tipone.”
but when it is sown, it groweth up and becomes greater than all herbaceous plants, and produceth vast branches; so that the birds of the air may roost under the shadow of it.
33 Yesu nomedo wuoyonegi gi ngeche machal gi mago e thuolo moro amora mane ginyalo winje.
And with many such like parables spake he to them the word.
34 Ne ok owachonegi wach moro amora ma ok okonyore gi ngero. To ka thuolo noyudore mi odongʼ gi jopuonjrene kendgi to nonyisogi tiend weche duto.
And without a parable spake he not unto them; but in private he explained them all to his disciples.
35 Chiengʼno godhiambo Yesu nowacho ne jopuonjrene niya, “Wadhiuru loka nam komachielo.”
And the same day he saith unto them, as the evening shut in, Let us pass over to the other side.
36 Omiyo ne giwuok giweyo oganda, mine gidhi kode mana kaka ne En-no, mi gichako kwangʼ kode ei yie. Ne nitie yiedhi mamoko bende mane kwangʼ kodgi e nam.
And sending the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other little vessels with him.
37 Eka ahiti mangʼongo notugore mi apaka nochako tago yie koni gi koni mi pi nochako pongʼe.
And a great hurricane arose, and the waves broke into the vessel, so that it was now full of water:
38 Sechego noyudo Yesu nindo ewi raten man kachien yie. Jopuonjre nochiewe kagiwachone niya, “Japuonj, donge litni ka watho?”
and he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing?
39 Yesu nochiewo mokwero yamo. Nochiko apaka kowachone niya, “Kwe! Lingʼ thi!” Gikanyono yamo nokwe mi piny olingʼ thi.
And rising, he with authority charged the wind, and said to the sea, Silence! be still! And the wind subsided, and there was a great calm.
40 Bangʼ mano Yesu nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Angʼo momiyo uluor kamano? Pod uonge mana gi yie?”
And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? How is it that ye have not confidence?
41 Luoro nomakogi mi gipenjore kendgi niya, “Ma en ngʼa, ma kata yamo gi apaka bende winje?”
And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
