Mark 4
1 Once 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.
Li te kòmanse enstwi yo ankò bò kote lanmè a. Yon gwo foul te ransanble kote Li jiskaske Li te vin antre nan yon kannòt sou lanmè a e Li te chita. Tout foul la te kanpe atè bò lanmè a.
2 And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
Konsa, Li te enstwi yo anpil bagay an parabòl. Li t ap di yo nan ansèyman li;
3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
“Koute! Yon moun ki t ap simen te ale deyò pou simen grenn.
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Pandan li t ap simen, kèk grenn te tonbe akote wout la pou zwazo yo vin manje l nèt.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
“Lòt grenn te tonbe nan wòch kote pa t gen anpil tè. Byen vit, li te leve, paske tè a pa t gen pwofondè.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
Konsa, lè solèy la fin leve, li te vin brile, e akoz li pa t gen rasin, li te fennen.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
“Lòt grenn tonbe pami pikan yo. Pikan yo leve toufe li, e li pa t bay donn.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”
“Lòt grenn te tonbe nan bon tè e pandan yo t ap grandi, ogmante, yo vin bay yon rekòlt ki te pwodwi trant, swasant, e menm san fwa.”
9 Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Konsa li te di: “Sila ki gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande”.
10 As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
Pandan Li te apa pou kont Li, sila ki t ap swiv Li yo ansanm avèk douz yo t ap poze L kesyon sou parabòl yo.
11 He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,
Li te di yo: “A nou menm te gen tan bay mistè a wayòm Bondye a; men sila ki rete deyò yo, ap resevwa tout bagay an parabòl.
12 so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
Pou l rive ke Malgre yo wè, yo kapab wè san apèsi; e pandan y ap tande, yo kapab tande e pa konprann. Otreman, yo ta kab retounen pou twouve padon.”
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
Li te di yo: “Èske nou pa konprann parabòl sila a? Alò kijan nou va konprann tout parabòl yo?
14 The farmer sows the word.
“Moun k ap simen an simen pawòl la.
15 Some 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.
Se sila ki akote wout yo, ke lè pawòl la fin simen, yo tande. Men byen vit, Satan vin pran pawòl ki te simen an, e rachte l soti nan yo.
16 Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
“E nan yon jan ki sanble ak sa, sila yo se yo menm ki te simen kote ki plen wòch yo. Lè yo fin tande pawòl la, byen vit, yo resevwa l avèk jwa.
17 But 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.
Men yo pa gen rasin fon nan yo menm. Yo la pou yon ti tan. Lè afliksyon oswa pèsekisyon vini akoz pawòl la, lapoula yo vin chite.
18 Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
“Lòt yo se sila yo ki te te simen pami pikan yo. Se yo ki te tande pawòl yo,
19 but 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. (aiōn g165)
men tout pwoblèm mond sa a ak sediksyon richès yo, avèk lanvi pou lòt bagay toufe pawòl la, pou li pa donnen fwi. (aiōn g165)
20 Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
“Sila ki te te simen nan bon tè a, se yo menm ki te tande pawòl la, yo te aksepte li, e yo te vin bay fwi trant, swasant e menm san fwa.”
21 Jesus 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?
Konsa Li t ap di yo: “Èske yon lanp pote pou mete anba yon panyen oubyen anba yon kabann? Èske yo pa pote li pou mete li sou yon chandelye?
22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
Paske anyen pa kache, sof ke pou revele, ni anyen pa an sekrè, sof ke pou parèt nan limyè.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Si yon moun gen zòrèy pou tande, kite l tande.”
24 He 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.
E Li t ap di yo: “Fè atansyon a sa nou koute. Menm jan ke nou mezire bay, li va mezire remèt a nou menm; e menm plis, y ap bannou ki tande.
25 For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
Paske a nenpòt moun ki genyen, l ap resevwa anplis, e a nenpòt moun ki pa genyen, menm sa li genyen an ap retire nan men li.”
26 Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
E Li t ap di: “Wayòm syèl la se tankou yon mesye k ap voye semans sou latè.
27 Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
Konsa, l ale sou kabann li nan aswè, li leve lajounen, e semans lan pouse e grandi; kijan sa fè fèt, li menm pa konnen.
28 All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
Tè a pwodwi rekòlt pou kont li; premyèman flèch, answit tèt la, e apre sa, grenn mi yo nan tèt la.
29 And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Men depi rekòlt la vin prè, byen vit l ap bay li kouto, paske lè rekòlt la rive.”
30 Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
Li te di: “Kijan n ap imajine wayòm Bondye a, oubyen selon ki parabòl nou kapab reprezante li?
31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
Li tankou yon grenn moutad ke lè l simen nan tè, li pi piti pase tout grenn ki sou latè.
32 But 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.”
Malgre sa, lè l fin simen, li grandi e vin pi gwo pase tout lòt plant nan jaden yo, epi fè gwo branch, pou zwazo anlè yo kab vin fè nich anba lonbraj li.”
33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
Ak anpil parabòl konsa, Li te pale pawòl la avèk yo nan limit yo ta kapab tande l pou konprann.
34 He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
Li pa t pale avèk yo san parabòl; men Li t ap eksplike tout bagay an prive a disip Li yo.
35 When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
Nan jou sa a, lè lannwit vin rive, Li te di yo: “Annou pase pa lòtbò”.
36 After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.
Yo te kite foul la e te pran Li avèk yo jan Li te ye nan kannòt la. Anplis, te gen lòt kannòt ki te avèk Li.
37 Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
Konsa, te vin leve yon gwo van tanpèt, ak vag lanmè ki t ap kase sou kannòt la otan ke kannòt la te prèske fin plen nèt.
38 But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”
Jésus Li menm te nan pwent dèyè kote L t ap dòmi sou yon kousen. Yo te fè L leve e te di Li: “Mèt, èske sa pa fè Ou anyen ke n ap mouri?”
39 Then 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.
Li te leve, e konsa, Li te reprimande van an e te di a lanmè a: “Fè silans, rete kalm!” Epi van an te vin bese e tan an te vini byen kalm.
40 “Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou pè konsa? Jiska prezan, nou poko gen lafwa?”
41 Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
Yo te etone avèk laperèz e yo te di: “Ki moun sa ye ke menm van avèk dlo lanmè obeyi Li?”
