Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to him, so as for him, after entering into the boat, to sit on the sea, and all the multitude was by the sea on the land.
Mme boidiidi jwa batho jo bo senang palo jwa mo dikaganyetsa mo lotshitshing fa a ntse a ruta, hong a tsena mo mokorong a nna fa fatshe a bua a le mo teng ga one.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Mokgwa wa gagwe wa gale wa go ruta e ne e le go bolelela batho dipolelo. Nngwe ya tsone e tsamaile jaana:
3 Listen. Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
“Reetsang! Molemi o kile a ikaelela go jala peo. Mme ya re a e gasa mo tshimong ya gagwe,
4 And it came to pass during the sowing, some fell by the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
nngwe ya yone ya wela mo tseleng, mme dinonyane tsa tla tsa e sela tsa e e ja.
5 And others fell on the rocky ground where it had not much soil. And straightaway it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
Nngwe ya yone ya wela mo mmung o mosesane fa go neng go ikadile lefika teng. Ya gola ka bonako, mme ya akofa ya swabisiwa ke mogote wa letsatsi ya a swa, ka ntlha ya gore medi ya yone e ne e sa otlega sentle mo mmung o o seng boteng.
6 And when the sun was risen it was scorched, and because it had no root it dried out.
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
Tse dingwe dipeo tsa wela mo mitlweng, mme mitlwa ya gola ya hupetsa dijalo tse di potlana, jalo tsa se ka tsa ungwa,
8 And others fell into the good ground and gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and brought forth, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
“Mme tse dingwe tsa wela mo mmung o o molemo, tsa ungwa ga masome a mararo tsa ata go fetisa jaaka a ne a jetse, dingwe tsa tsone tsa ungwa ga masome a marataro kgotsa lekgolo.
9 And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!”
10 And when he became alone, those around him, with the twelve, asked him the parable.
Mme morago ga moo fa a le esi le ba ba lesome le bobedi le bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe, ba mmotsa ba re, “Polelo ya gago e raya eng?”
11 And he said to them, To you is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those outside, all things occur in parables.
Mme a ba araba a re, “Lo letleletswe go itse boammaaruri ka ga Bogosi jwa Modimo jo bo fitlhetsweng ba ba kwa ntle ga Bogosi: jaaka Moporofiti Isaia a bolela a re, ‘Le fa ba bona ebile ba utlwa ga ba kitla ba tlhaloganya, kgotsa ba sokologela mo Modimong kgotsa ba itshwarelwa dibe tsa bone.’
12 So that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest they should turn, and the sins would be forgiven them.
13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? And how will ye understand all the parables?
“Mme fa lo se ka ke lwa tlhaloganya setshwantsho se se motlhofo se, lo tlaa dira jang kaga tse dingwe tse ke yang go di bolela.
14 The man who sows sows the word.
Molemi yo ke neng ke bua ka ga gagwe ke mongwe yo o lereditseng batho molaetsa wa Modimo, a leka go jala peo e e siameng mo matshelong a bone.
15 And these are those by the path where the word is sown. And whenever they may hear, straightaway Satan comes, and takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.
Tsela e e thata, fa go wetseng peo nngwe teng e tshwantshiwa le bopelo-e-thata jwa batho bangwe ba ba utlwang lefoko la Modimo; mme e re ka bofefo Satane a tle a leke go ba lebatsa lefoko.
16 And these in like manner are those being sown upon the rocky places, who, whenever they may hear the word, straightaway receive it with joy.
Mme mmu o o lokgwarapana o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba utlwang molaetsa ka boitumelo,
17 And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway they are caused to stumble.
mme jaaka ditlhatshana tse di mo mmung o o ntseng jalo, medi ya tsone ga e tsenelele mo teng, le fa, lwa ntlha di gola sentle, ere ka bonako fa matshwenyego a simologa di korobele.
18 And these are those being sown in the thorns, who hear the word,
“Mmu o o mitlwa ke sesupo sa dipelo tsa batho ba ba reetsang Mafoko a a Molemo ba bo ba a amogela,
19 and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the cravings about other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
mme ka bofefo dithato tsa lefatshe le menate ya mahumo le go batla go tswelela pele le go eletsa dilo tse dintle go tsene ka bofefo mme go kgoreletse molaetsa wa Modimo mo dipelong tsa bone mme go seke go nne loungo lope. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are those that were sown upon the good ground, who hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
“Mme mmu o o molemo o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba amogelang molaetsa wa Modimo ka boammaaruri, mme ba ungwele Modimo thobo e ntsi thata, ba ungwe ga masome a mararo le ga masome a le marataro le ga lekgolo tota go gaisa jaaka go jetswe mo dipelong tsa bone.”
21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come so that it might be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not so that it might be put on the lampstand?
Hong a ba botsa a re, “Fa mongwe a tshuba lobone, a o lo baya ka fa tlase ga tafole gore lo fitlhe lesedi? Go ka se nne jalo! Lesedi ga le ka ke la bonwa kgotsa la dirisiwa. Lobone lo siametse go bewa mo setlhomong go bonesa le go nna le mosola.
22 For there is not anything hid, except that it may be revealed, nor become secret, but that it may come to be visible.
Gonne sengwe le sengwe se se fitlhegileng letsatsi lengwe se tlaa nna mo leseding.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!
24 And he said to them, Watch what ye hear. By what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you, and to those who hear, it will be added to you.
Mme gape tlhomamisang lo dirise se lo se utlwang. Gantsi fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa kgona go tlhaloganya thata se ke se lo bolelelang.
25 For whoever has, to him it will be given. And he who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Mme yo o nang le sengwe o tlaa newa; mme yo o senang sepe o tlaa tseelwa le se o nang le sone tota.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
Setshwantsho sengwe ke se, se se supang gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo ntse jang: Molemi o kile a jala peo mo tshimong ya gagwe,
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and lengthen, he knows not how.
mme a tsamaya, ya re malatsi a ntse a feta, dijalo tsa gola kwa ntle ga tlhokomelo ya gagwe.
28 For the earth bears fruit spontaneously, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Gonne mmu o ne o godisa dijalo. La ntlha mogwang wa tswa, diako tsa tlhoga, mme morago mabele a butswa.
29 But when the fruit yields, straightaway he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.
Hong molemi a tla ka thipa ya gagwe a akofa a roba.”
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or by what parable shall we compare it?
Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Ke ka tshwantsha Bogosi jwa Modimo jang? Ke ka dirisa polelo efe go bo tshwantsha?
31 It is like a grain of the mustard plant, which, when it is sown in the ground, is smaller than all the seeds upon the ground.
Bo tshwana le peo ya mosetara! Le ntswa e le nngwe ya dipeo tse di potlana, e gola e nna nngwe ya ditlhare tse di tona thata, e nne le dikala tse di telele mo dinonyane di ka agang dintlhaga tsa tsone teng mme tsa sireletsega.”
32 Yet when it is sown, it goes up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it makes great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under the shade of it.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
O ne a dirisa ditshwantsho di le dintsi tse di ntseng jalo go ruta batho ka fa ba ka kgonang go tlhaloganya ka teng.
34 And he did not speak to them apart from a parable, but privately he explained all things to his disciples.
Legale, o ne a ruta fela ka ditshwantsho fa a ruta mo pepeneneng, mme e re morago ga moo, fa a le esi le barutwa ba gagwe a simolole go ba di tlhalosetsa.
35 And on that day, having become evening, he says to them, Let us pass through to the other side.
Mme ya re mo maitseboeng, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “A re tsheleleng ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.”
36 And having sent the multitude away, they bring him along as he was in the boat. And other small boats were also with him.
Hong ba mo tsaya, ba tswelela, ba tlogela bontsi jwa batho (le fa mekoro e mengwe e ne ya ba sala morago).
37 And a great storm of wind develops, and the waves were thrown into the boat, so as for it now to be filling.
Mme ya re ka bonako matsubutsubu a magolo a phefo a tsoga. Makhubu a metse a simolola go tlolela mo mokorong go fitlhelela metse a tlala mo mokorong ebile o tloga o nwela.
38 And he himself was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, does it not concern thee that we perish?
Jesu o ne a robetse kwa motsheo ga mokoro a samile mosamo. Mme ka bonako ba mo tsosa ka letshogo le legolo ba re, “Moruti, a ga o tshwenyege le fa re tloga re nwela rotlhe?”
39 And having awaken, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Be quiet! Silence! And the wind ceased, and it became a great calm.
Hong a kgalemela phefo a raya lewatle a re, “Didimala!” Mme phefo ya didimala, ga ba ga nna tuulalo e kgolo!
40 And he said to them, Why are ye cowardly this way? How have ye no faith?
Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo ne lo tshositswe ke eng? A le jaana ga lo ise lo bo lo inkanye?”
41 And they feared a great fear, and said to each other, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea also obey him?
Mme ba tlala poifo thata ba ipotsa ba re, “Monna yo ke mang, yo diphefo le mawatle di mo utlwang?”
