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.
Pwu akhatengwa ukhumanyisya mu ndakhanji mu nyanja. Ululundamano ulwalundamine lukhanjongula, akhingela mu mbwato munyanja, nu hutama. Ululundamano lyoni lwale mundokanji mu nyanja.
2 And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,
Pwu akhavamanyisya imbombo nyingi khu fikhwani, akhanchova khuvene.
3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
Ukhuta, mupolikhenchage undemi alotile khuvyala.
4 And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Vwu ivyala, inchinge imbeyu ncha gwile mu njela, ifidege fikhincha fikhanchilya.
5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile mu lunalawe, bakho wlifu lyale lidebe, pwu jikhaniala, ulwakhuva elifu lyale lidebe.
6 But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
Pwu ulunchuva volwivala, nchikhaniala, ulwakhuva nchale bula milela, nchikhoma.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.
Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile mmatoni. Amatoni khakola sanchikhahopo isekha nchochoni.
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.”
Imbeyu inchinge nchagwile palifu elinonu, nchikhahopa isekhe vwu vunchikhula, inchinge nchakhopile thelathini nu khulutelela, inchinge sitini, inchinge mia.”
9 Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Pwu akhanchova, “Yeyoni unyambulukhutu incha khupulikha, apulekhage!”
10 As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.
Yiisu vu alemwene, vavo vale pipi nu mwene, navala kumi na vavele vakhambuncha ukhukhongana ni vikhwani.
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,
Akhanchova khuvene, “Umwe mpevilwe uvayelweli uvwa ludeva lwa Nguluve. Khu vavo vale honji khela khenu khuvene fihwani,
12 so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
Pwu vovilola, lweli vilola, savikhokhe vona, vovipulekhe, vipulikha, savikhwaliwa, manya vakhavisyetukha pwu Unguluve akhale ikhovasyekhela.”
13 Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?
Pwu akhanchova khuvene, “Ukhuta samukhemanyile ekhekhwani ekhe? Pwu mukhweliwaga ifikhwani ifinge?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Unyakhovyala avyalile elimenyu.
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.
Avange vovala avagwile munjela, bakho elimenyu lyavyaliwe. Vwu vapolikhe akhincha u Setano akhaletola elimenyu lelyo lyavyaliwe muvene.
16 Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
Avange vovala vavovavyaliwe pakhyanyu pa lunalawe, avene voviholepulekha elimenyu, nambeve vikhupelela nulokhovokho.
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.
Viva vovovle imilela mugati muvene pwu vikheyomelencha unsekhe unsupi vu lwikhwincha alogelo nu khugata nchiwa khu limenyu. Pwu vikhekho vencha.
18 Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,
Avange vovala avanyaliwe mumatoni vikholepulikha elumenyu.
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)
Pwu ukhugatanchiwa ne khelunga, uvosyovi uvwa fyome, nu vonogwe uvwa mbombo inchinge nchikhovingela elimenyu lilemwa ukhuhupa isekhe. (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.”
Pwu khuvale vavo vavyaliwe mu ndifu elinonu. Vikholepulekha elimenyu nu khuleopelela vikhopa isekha: avange thelathini, avange sitini, na avange mia moja.”
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?
Yiisu akhavavola, “Vwa wigega ulumuli mbunchenge nukhuluvekha pasi pa khetundu, ama pasi pavogono? Pwu vukhulugega ulumuli nukhuluvekha pakhanya pa khetalati.
22 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.
Ulwa khuva khesikholi khyohyoni khekhyo khefikhime khekhyo sakhe khamanye khene, lesipali lelyo lefikhime lelyo salekhave pavuvalafu.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Avange pwale unyambulukhutu inchipulekha, apolekhage!”
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.
Akhavavola muvinchage mikho na lelyo mupulekha, ulwakhuva ekhemwipimila khemulapimiliwa na yomwe nu khulutelela.
25 For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
Ulwa khuva uvealenakhyo, yikhwupela ekheluyelile, na yoywa ale vovole ukhukhuma khumwene yafitoliwa na fifyo alenafyo.”
26 Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
Pwu akhata, “Uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhwanine nu munu uveavyalile embeyu mu ndifu.
27 Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
Vwa agonelile pakhelo nu khusisimukha panavusikhu, pwu embeyu nchikhamela nu khukula, ndave salomanyile umuyekhomile.
28 All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.
Ekhelunga khihomya embeyu, gitala amani; vwukhwincha uvuluva, pwu, nchikhonga embeyu inchidolwikhe.
29 And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Embeyu vuyekholile nu khuvefula pwu egega emundu, ulwa khuva misekhegha khubena.”
30 Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?
Pwu akhata, “Tuvukhwananinche uludeva lwa Nguluve ne khenu kheli, tuvunchanganule ne khekhwani khehi?
31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.
Vule nde mbegu eya haladali, yeyo yavyaliwe incha khelunga.
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.”
Na pakho yevyaliwe, yikhula nu khuva mbakha ukhulutelela embeyu nchoni, pwu yipasa isyamba imbakha, ifidege fya khukyanya finchenga uvufumba mu khenchimela.”
33 With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
Khu fikhwani fingi amanyisye nu hunchova elimenyu khuvene, ndamumwa valekhumweliwa,
34 He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
Sa anchove navo bila fikhwani. Ulwa khuva vu alemwene, akhavavola khela khenu avakhongi va mwene.
35 When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”
Pa linchuva elyo, imisekhe gha lyakhemikhe, akhanchova khuvene, “Tuvukhe emwambo eyenge.”
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.
Pwu vakhalulekha ululundamano, vakhantola u Yiisu, imisekhe egyo vualemumbwato. Uwato uvunge vukhava paninie.
37 Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.
Emepo enyakhuluguto, amagasi.
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?”
U Yiisu ale pa shetri, agonelile. Vakhansisimula, vakhata, “Mmanyisi, savusaga ufye twifwa?”
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.
Pwu akhasisimukha, akhayebencha emepo nu khuyevola enyanja, '“Yeve mie, nu lunonchehecho.” Emepo yekhelekhelwa, khuva mie.
40 “Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”
Pwu akhanchova khuvene, “Khehi mundwada? Mulevovole ulwidikho?”
41 Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
Vakhava nuludwado ulwakha munumbula incha vene vakhenchofanya, “Veni oyo, ulwa khuva emepo ne nyanja fikhomwedekha?”.
