< Mark 4 >
1 Jesus began teaching beside the Sea again. So many people came to listen to him that he climbed into a boat and sat in it on the water while the crowd listened from the shore.
Guero berriz has cedin iracasten itsas bazterrean: eta bil cedin harengana gendetze handi, hala non bera vncira sarthuric, iarriric baitzegoen itsassoan: eta populu gucia itsas costan leihorrean cen.
2 He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
Eta iracasten cerauen comparationez anhitz gauça, eta erraiten cerauen bere doctrinán,
3 “Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
Ençun eçaçue, Huná, ereillebat ilki cedin ereitara.
4 Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Eta guertha cedin ereitean, partebat eror baitzedin bide bazterrera, eta ethor citecen ceruco choriac, eta irets ceçaten hura.
5 Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth. In the shallow soil the plants started growing quickly, but because the soil wasn't deep
Eta berce partebat eror cedin leku harriçuetara, non ezpaitzuen lur anhitzic: eta bertan ilki cedin, ceren ezpaitzuen lur barnetassunic.
6 they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.
Baina iguzquia goratu cenean, erre cedin: eta ceren erroric ezpaitzuen, eyhar cedin.
7 Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
Eta berce partebat eror cedin elhorri artera, eta elhorriac handi citecen, eta itho ceçaten hura, eta etzeçan fructuric eman.
8 Other seeds fell on good soil where they sprouted and grew. They produced a harvest of some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times what was planted.
Eta bercea eror cedin lur-onera, eta eman ceçan fructu goratzen eta handitzen cenic, eta ekar ceçan bihi batac hoguey eta hamar, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac ehun.
9 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
Orduan erran ciecén, Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beça.
10 When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
Eta bera cela, interroga ceçaten haren inguruän hamabiequin ciradenéc, comparationeaz.
11 He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
Eta erran ciecén, Çuey eman çaiçue Iaincoaren resumaco secretuaren eçagutzea: baina lekorean diradeney comparationez gauça guciac tractatzen çaizte:
12 so that even though they see, they don't really ‘see,’ and even though they hear, they don't understand, otherwise they might turn to me and be forgiven.”
Dacussatela ikus deçatençat, eta eztaquizquión ohart: eta dançutela ençun deçaten, eta adi ezteçaten: conuerti eztitecen eta bekatuac barka eztaquizquién.
13 “Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
Eta erran ciecen, Eztaquiçue comparatione haur? Eta nolatan comparatione guciac eçagutiren dituçue?
14 The sower sows the word.
Ereilleac hitza ereiten du.
15 The seeds on the path where the word is sown illustrate those who hear the message, but then Satan immediately comes along and takes away the word that's been sown in them.
Bada hauc dirade bide bazterrera hacia recebitzen dutenac, ceinétan ereiten baita hitza: baina ençun dutenean, bertan ethorten da Satan, eta kencen du hayen bihotzetan erein cen hitza.
16 Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
Eta hauc dirade halaber leku harriçuetara hacia recebitzen dutenac: eta ençun dutenean hitza, bertan bozcariorequin recebitzen dute hura.
17 But since they have no real roots, they only last for a while until trouble or persecution comes, and then they quickly fall away.
Eta eztute erroric berac baithan, baina iraute gutitaco dirade: guero heltzen denean tribulationeric edo persecutioneric hitzagatic, bertan scandalizatzen dirade.
18 Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
Eta hauc dirade elhorri artera hacia recebitzen dutenac, hauc dirade, diot, hacia ençuten dutenac:
19 but worries of this world, the temptation of wealth, and other distractions choke the growth of the word, and it becomes unproductive. (aiōn )
Baina mundu hunetaco ansiéc, eta abrastassunezco enganioac, eta berce gaucetaco guthiciéc barneraric ithotzen dute hitza, eta fructu gabetzen da. (aiōn )
20 But the seeds sown on good soil illustrate those who hear the word, accept it, and are productive—producing thirty, sixty, and a hundred times what was originally sown.
Eta hauc dirade lur onera hacia recebitu dutenac, ceinéc hitza ençuten baitute, eta recebitzen, eta fructu ekarten, batac hoguey eta hamar, eta berceac hiruroguey, eta berceac ehun.
21 Who puts a lamp under a bucket, or beneath a bed?” Jesus asked them. “No, you put a lamp up on a lamp-stand.
Erran ciecén halaber, Ala candela ekarten da gaitzurupean, edo ohapean eçar dadinçat? eza candelerean eçar dadinçat?
22 Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.
Ecen ezta deus secreturic aguerturen eztenic, edo estal ahal daitenic: baina campora ethorri behar da.
23 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!
Baldin nehorc ençuteco beharriric badu, ençun beça.
24 Pay attention to what you're hearing,” he told them, “for you will be given according to how much you want to receive, measure for measure.
Guehiago erran ciecén, Gogoauçue cer ençuten duçuen: cer neurriz neurturen baituçue, neurturen çaiçue, eta emendaturen çaiçue, çuey ençuten duçuenoy.
25 More will be given to those who already have understanding, but those who don't want to know will have what little understanding they have taken from them.
Ecen duenari, emanen çayó: eta deusic eztuenari, duena-ere edequiren çayó.
26 God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.
Guehiago erraiten çuen, Iaincoaren resumá da, guiçón hacia lurrera egotziric gau eta egun lo etzaten eta iaiquiten liçaten baten ançora.
27 “He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
Eta hacia ilkiten eta hatzen licén, harc ezlaquiala nola,
28 The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.
Ecen bere buruz lurrac fructu ekarten du, behin belhar, guero buru, guero ogui bihi bethea buruän.
29 When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.
Eta aguertu denean fructua, bertan guiçonac du eçarten iguiteyá: ceren prest baita vztá.
30 What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.
Guero cioen, Cer irudi duela erranen dugu Iaincoaren resumác? edo cer comparationez comparaturen dugu hura?
31 “It's like a mustard seed, the tiniest seed of all.
Hura da mustarda haci bihibat beçala, cein lurrean ereiten denean, baita lurrean diraden haci gucietaco chipiena:
32 But when it's sown it grows into a plant that's larger than other plants. It has branches big enough that birds can roost in its shade.”
Baina erein den ondoan, goratzen da, eta berce belhar gucietaco handiena eguiten da: eta adar handiac eguiten ditu hala non ceruco choriec ohatzeac eguin ahal baititzaqueizte haren itzalean.
33 Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.
Eta anhitz hunelaco comparationez tractatzen cerauen hitza, ençun ahal ciroitenaren araura.
34 In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.
Eta comparatione gabe etzayen minçatzen: baina appartean bere discipuluey declaratzen cerauzten gauça guciac.
35 Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
Eta erran ciecén egun hartan, arrastu cenean, Iragan gáitecen vraren berce aldera.
36 Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus, just as he was, and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
Eta populua vtziric har ceçaten hura vncian cen beçala: baina berce vncitchoac-ere baciraden harequin.
37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
Orduan altcha cedin haice buhumba handibat, eta bagác sartzen ciraden vncira, hala non ia bethatzen baitzén.
38 Jesus was asleep in the stern, resting his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting at him, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”
Eta hura vnciaren guibeleco aldean cetzan lo bururdi baten gainean: orduan iratzartzen dute, eta diotsate, Magistruá, eztuc ansiaric ceren galduac goacen?
39 Jesus woke up. He told the wind to die down and told the waves, “Be quiet! Be still.” The wind stopped, and the water became completely calm.
Eta iratzarri cenean mehatcha ceçan haicea, eta erran cieçón itsassoari, Ichil adi, eta gueldi adi. Orduan cessa cedin haicea, eta tranquilitate handi eguin cedin.
40 “Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
Eta erran ciecén Cergatic çarete horrela icior? nola eztuçue federic?
41 They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Eta ici citecen icidura handiz: eta erraiten çuten elkarren artean, Baina nor da haur, haiceac eta itsassoac, ere obeditzen baitute?
