Mark 4
1 Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.
Hape natanga kuruta kumbali yewate. Mi buungi bwachisi nibwakungana kumuzibuluka, linu nechila chikepe mwiwate, ni kwikala hansi. Chisi chonse chibena kumbali yewate hamutunda.
2 He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Mi chabaruta zintu zingi muunguli, mi nati kubali muntuto yakwe,
3 “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow.
“Mutekeleze, mulimi abayendi kukubyala imbuto yakwe.
4 As he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Choya bubyala, imwi imbuto niyawila munzila, imi zizuni nizeza kuitotola.
5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu lyamabwe, muisena ibabi ni ibu lingi. Hohwaho bulyo chiya mena, mukuti kena ibena ibu liya hansi.
6 When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Kono izuba haliñatula, chizahiswa, mi chebaka lyakuti kanazibena muhisi, ziba zumi.
7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Imwi imbuto niyawila muzisamu zamiiya. Zisamu zamiiya nizakula ni kuzipuputiza, mi kana zibabiki nanga buheke.
8 Others fell into the good ground and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”
Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu ilotu ni kubika buheke muzaabukula ni zabuekeza, mi zimwi nizaleta chakuminihanya makumi otatwe kubungi, imi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda.”
9 He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mi chati, “Yese wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Jesus habena yeyena, babena hafuhi naye ni bena ikumi ni bobele babamubuzi kuamana ni nguli.
11 He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
Chati kubali, “Kwenu kuhelwe ikunutu yomubuso wa Ireeza. Kono kubeena hanze zonse zina munguli,
12 that ‘seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’”
Kokuti habalola, ee balola, kono kababoni, ni kuti habazuwa, ee bazuwa, kono kabazuwisisi, kamba hamwi pona chibasanduka mi Ireeza pona chobakwatila.”
13 He said to them, “Do not you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?
Mi chati kubali, “Kamuzuwisisi iyi inguli? Mumuzuwisise bule inguli zonse zimwi?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Mulimi yobyala imbuto njeye yobyala iinzwi.
15 The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
Bamwi njezina ziwila kumbali yamugwagwa, mulibabyalwa liinzwi. Mi habalizuwa, hahobulyo Satani ulizwisa mi uhinda liinzwi liba byalwa mubali.
16 These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa hebu lyamabwe, ili abo, habazuwa liinzwi, hahobulyo balitambula chakusaanga.
17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
Mi kabena muhisi mubali beene, kono balikozakoza chenakozana. Linu bukabo ni kunyandiswa kwiza chebaka lyaliizwi, hahobulyo bachunchula.
18 Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,
Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa mukati kamiiya. Bazuwa liinzwi,
19 and the cares of this age (aiōn g165), and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
kono babilela ni zenkanda, kuchengwa chifumu, ni ntakazo zazintu zimwi zinjila mo ni kwihaya liinzwi, mi liba lisabiiki zibikantu. (aiōn g165)
20 Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”
Linu kwina abo bababyalwa mwibu ilotu. Bazuwa liinzwi ni kulitambula ni kubika zihantu: zimwi makumi otatwe, mi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda”.
21 He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is not it put on a stand?
Jesu nati kubali, “Muleta ilambi munzubo ni kulibika mwikonde yechitanda, kamba mwikonde lyabulo? Mulileta mukati ni kulitula hachitulilo chelambi.
22 For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.
Mukuti kakwina chiuungilwa chiseti ni chizibahazwe, mi kakwina inkunutu yiseti niibe henkanza.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Heba zumwi wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
24 He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and more will be given to you who hear.
Nati kubali, “Mutwalize kuchi muzuwa, intikanyezo imulikanisa, yete nimulikanyezwe chayo, mi muiwelwe kwenu.
25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”
Mukuti yense wina, kwali kakuwelwa ni kuhita, mi yense yasena, kwali mukuhindililwe ni zakwete.”
26 He said, “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
Mi nichati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza uswana sina muntu yobyala imbuto hansi.
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, though he does not know how.
Ulala masiku ni kubuka musihali, mi imbuto imena ni kukula, nanga kezibite kuti mbobule.
28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Ibu libika buheke ilyo liine: intanzi ituunga, linu chikunku, linu kwiza buheke bubuzwile kuchikunku.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Mi buheke habubuzwa hahobulyo utumina ijekisi hanze, mukuti inkutulo chiyasika”.
30 He said, “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
Mi nati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza tuwola kuubambanya ni chi, kamba inguli inzi ituwola tendisa kukuutoloka?
31 It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,
Ukola sina imbuto yamasitate iti, chiibyalitwe, nji iha nikuhita imbuto yahebu.
32 yet when it is sown, grows up and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”
Mihe, chiibyalitwe, ikula ni kuba bukando kuzamba zonse zimenantu zoluwa, mi itenda mitavi mikando, kokuti zizuni zewulu ziwola kuchita zizumbo mumuzunde wayo.”
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Chenguli zingi ziswana nezi nawamba liinzwi kubali, chabuungi kakuya kamubawolela kuzuwisisa,
34 Without a parable he did not speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
imi kanaabawambi kubali nikusena inguli. Kono habali yeyena, abatoloki zintu zonse kubarutwana bakwe.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”
Mwelyo izuba, hakuba chitengu, nati kubali, “Tulutile mulimwi ishilya.”
36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.
Linu nibasiya chisi, kuhinda ni Jesu, kakuti chabena kale muchikepe. Zimwi zikepe nazo zibena naye.
37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Mi ihuho likalihite ikando chilyabuka mi masuunda abali kwi njila muchikepe mukuti chikepe chichibezwile.
38 He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and asked him, “Teacher, do not you care that we are dying?”
Kono Jesu iyemwine abeena muluheho lwachikepe, nalele hamushamo. Chibamubusa, nibacho, “Muruti, kobileli nihatusaka kufwa?”
39 He awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Mi, haabuuswa, na kalimela luhuho ni kucho kwiwate, “Inkozo, tukumane.” Mi ihuho nilya zimana, mi kubena kutontola kukando.
40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
Mi nati kubali, “Chinzi hamutiite? Kamwini kuba ni intumelo?”
41 They were greatly afraid and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Babezuli kutiya kukando mi ni bawamba zumwi ku zumwi, “Linu njeni uzu, mukuti nanga ihuho ni wate zimuzuwa?”
