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.
Ambile okwiigisha lindi ku njenjekela ya kumwalo. Na liijo lyafu nilikofyanya limusingie, nengila mu bhwato bhuli munyanja, no kwinyanja. Liijo lyona lyaliga liliku njenjekela ya kumwalo mulufuka.
2 He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
Mbe nabheigisha masango mafu kwe bhijejekanyo, naika nabho kwa meigisho gae.
3 “Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
Mutegeleshe, omubhibhi ajie okubhibha.
4 Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Anu aliga nabhibha, jimbegu ejindi janguye ku njila, na jinyonyi nijija nijijilya.
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
Jimbegu ejindi janguye kwitale, anu galiga gatalio mayalu mafu. Okumala nijinywagala kwa insonga jaliga jitana mayalu go kwiya.
6 they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.
Mbe nawe lisubha lyejile lyauluka, janywagae, kulwo kubha jaliga jitana misi, nijuma.
7 Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
Jimbegu ejindi jaguye agati-gati ya mawa. Amawa nigakula nigajiiganya, jitateyeko matwasyo gona gona
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.
Jimbibho ejindi jaguye ku mayalu ge kisi na nijitwasha amatwasho kenu nijikula no kwiyongesha, nejindi nijitwasha kukila makumi gasatu, ne jindi makumi mukaga, nejindi egana”.
9 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
Na naika ati, wona wona unu Ali na matwi go kungwa, nongwe”.
10 When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
Yesu anu aliga Ali enyelela, bhanu bhaliga ayei nage na bhalya ekumi na bhabhili bhamubhusishe okulubhana ne bhijejekanyo.
11 He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
Naika ku bhene, “Kwimwe muyanilwe jibhisike jo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga. Mbe nawe ku bhanu bhali anja bhuli chinu ni chijejekanyo,
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.”
koleleki bhakalola, ni chimali abhalola, mbe nawe bhatakulola, kulwejo ugwa bhakongwa ni chimali abhongwa, mbe nawe bhatakusombokelwa, labha jitali kutyo bhakaindukile na Nyamuanga akabheswalilie”.
13 “Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
Naika nabho, “Angu mutakuchimenya echijejekanyo chinu? Omutula atiki okumenya echijejekanyo ebhindi?
14 The sower sows the word.
Omubhibhi abhibhile omusango.
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.
Abhandi ni bhalya bhanu bhalagae ku mbali ya injila, Anu omusango gwabhibhilwe. Mbe bhejile bhagungwa, Shetani naja no kugugega omusango gunu gwabhibhilwe mu moyo jebhwe.
16 Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
Na bhandi ni bhalya bhanu bhabhibhilwe kwi tale, bhanu, ungwa bhakagungwa omusango, kwo bhwangu nibhagulamila kwo bhukondeleywe.
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.
Kulwo kubha bhatana misi jona jona mu myoyo jebhwe, nawe abhegumilisha kwa mwanya mufui. jikabhonekana jinyako no kunyasibwa ungwa bhikaja kulwa insonga yo musango, ao nao nibhekujula.
18 Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
Na bhandi ni bhalya bhanu bhabhibhilwe mu mawa. abhagungwa omusango,
19 but worries of this world, the temptation of wealth, and other distractions choke the growth of the word, and it becomes unproductive. (aiōn g165)
mbe nawe amaangaiko ge Chalo, no bhujigijigi bhwo ebhinu, bhyo bhunibhi no bhuligisi bhwe misango ejindi, nibhibhengila no kuguiganya omusango, no kusigwa okutwasha amatwasho. (aiōn g165)
20 But the seeds sown on good soil illustrate those who hear the word, accept it, and are productive—producing thirty, sixty, and hundred times what was originally sown.
Okumala bhalio bhanu bhabhibhilwe ku mayalu ge kisi. Nibhongwa omusango no kugulamila no kutwasha amatwasho: abhandi makumi gasatu na bhandi makumi mukaga, na bhandi egana limwi”.
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.
Yesu nabhabhwila, “Angu ungwa ukaleta itala munyumba oita emwalo ye chitukulu, amwi mwifufu lwo bhulili? Oileta munju no kuita ingulu ye chigango.
22 Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.
Kwokubha chitalio chona chona chinu chiselekele chinu chitalimenyekana abhwelu.
23 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!
Akabha alio owa matwi go kungwa, mbe nongwe”.
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.
Nabhabhwila, “Mubhe bhekomelesha mu chinu omungwa, kwo kubha indengo inu omulengelamo niyo one mulilengelwamo, na eyongesibhwa kwimwe.
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.
Ku nsonga ati unu alinacho, kalamila bhyafu, na ulya unu atanacho, ukusoka ku mwene bhiligengwa nolwo bhilya bhinu alinabhyo”.
26 God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.
Mbe naika, “Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga obhususanyibhwa no munu unu kabhibha jinjuma ku mayalu ge kisi.
27 “He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
Ejile amama mugeta no kwimuka katondo, nasanga jaletele emitenga no kukula, nolwo kutyo atakumenya kutyo jabhonekene.
28 The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.
Echalo echisosha jinjuma echenela; okwamba amabhabhi, okumala echangala, okumala jinjuma jinu jikomee.
29 When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.
Mbe mu mwanya gunu injuma ikaya okumala nusila omwolo, ku nsonga ligesa lyakingile”.
30 What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.
Mbe naika, “chibhususanyishe Obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga na chinu ki, amwi chelesha chijejekanyoki echo kwelesha?
31 “It's like a mustard seed, the tiniest seed of all.
Nilwa injuma ya haradali, yejile yayambwa yaliga noto muno kukila jinjuma jone muchalo.
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.”
Nolwo, mu mwanya gwo kuyambwa, eikula nibha Nene kukila emikubhi jona eja mwisambu, na eikola amatabhi manene nolwo jinyonyi ja mulwile ejitula okutamo obhunsuli bhwajo mu mbeo yalyo”.
33 Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.
Mu bhijejekanyo bhyafu abeigisishe omusango, lwa kutyo bhatulaga okumenya,
34 In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.
na ataikaga nabho atali mu bhijejekanyo. Mbe nawe mu mwanya gunu aliga Ali enyele-la, abhelesishe bhuli chinu abheigisibhwa bhae.
35 Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
Mu lunaku olwo, mu mwanya gwa kegolo gwejile gwakinga, nabhabhwila, “Chigende ku lubhala lwa kabhili”.
36 Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
kulwejo nibhalisiga liijo, nibhamugega Yesu, mu mwanya ogwo aliga engie mubhwato. Amato agandi galiga amwi nage.
37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
Mbe omuyaga mwafu ogwe chiule na amakonjo galiga nigengisha amaji mu bhwato no bhwato mbubha bhwejue.
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?”
Mbe nawe Yesu omwene aliga ali kuseji, amamile ali ku musagulo. Nibhamulafya, nibhaika, “Mwiigisha, awe utakuchikukwa eswe chikafwa?”
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.
Nemuka, nagugonya omuyaga na naibhwila inyanja, “'Cholela, omulembe”. Omuyaga nigutemekela, na nilibha etole enene.
40 “Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
Nabhabhusha ati, kulwaki omubhaya? Angu mutali no kwikilisha kutiki?
41 They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Nibhengilwa no bhubha bhwafu mu myoyo jebhwe nibhaikana abhene kwa bhene, unu niga lindi, kunsoga nolwo omuyaga na inyaja ebhimubhaya?”.
