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.
Kabhele ajhandili kumanyisya kandokando jha bahari. Ni bhumati mbaha bhwakibhongeniye bhwanzunguiki bhukajhingila mugati mu bhuatu mu bahari, ni kutama. Bhumati bhuoha bhwajhele pembeni mu bahari bhufukweni.
2 He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
Ni kubhafundisya mambo mingi kwa mifuanu, ni kujobha kwa bhene kwa mafundisu ghake.
3 “Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
Mup'elekesiajhi, mpanzi alotili kupanda.
4 Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Bhoipanda, baadhi jha mbeyu syabinili munjela, ni fidege fikahida fikalya.
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
Mbeyu senge syabinili mu muamba, ambako kwa jhelepi ni bhud'opi bhwingi. Mara syajhomili, kwa ndabha syajhelepi ni bhud'opi bhwa kutosya.
6 they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.
Lakini lijobha bho lih'omili, syajhomili, na kwandabha syajhelepi ni mizizi, syajhomili.
7 Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
Mbeyu senge syabinili katikati jha mifwa. Mifwa ghyakhotili ghikasizuila, na syahoguili lepi matunda ghoghoha ghala
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.
Mbeyu s'enge syabinili mu bhud'opi bhunofu na syahogwili matunda bhwakati syahogwili ni kujhongeseka, s'enge syahoghwili mara thelathini zaidi, ni s'enge sitini, ni s'enge mia”.
9 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
Na akajobha, “Jhejhioha jha ajhele ni mbolokoto na apelekayi!”
10 When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
Yesu bho ajhemuene, bhala bhabhajhe karibu nakhu ni bhala kumi ni bhabhele bhakan'kotili kuhusu mifuano.
11 He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
Akabhajobha kwa bhene, “Kwa muenga mupelibhu siri sya bhufalme bhwa K'yara. Lakini kwa bhajhele kwibhala khila khenu mifuanu,
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.”
ili bhakalangajhi, ndo bhilola, lakini bhilola lepi, ni kwa ejhu pa bhip'eleka, lakini bhijhelebhwa lepi, amasivo bhabhayeli ni K'yara ngaabhasamee.”
13 “Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
Na akajobha kwa bhene,” Je mwijhelebhwa lepi mifuano obho? Mwibeta mu bhuli mifuano ghenge?
14 The sower sows the word.
Mpanzi apandili lilobhi.
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.
Baadhi ndo bhaka bhabhabinili palubhafu mu nj'hela, mahali lilobhi pa lipandibhu. Na bho bhalip'eliki, mara lisyetani likahida ni kulotela lilobhi ambalyo lapandibhu mugati mwa bhene.
16 Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
Na baadhi ndo bhala bha bhapandibhu panani pa muamba, ambabho pabhakalipheleka lilobhi, manyata bhakalipokela kwa furaha.
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.
Na bhajhelepi ni mizizi ghyoghyoha mugati mwa bhene, lakini bhuvumilivu kwa muda bhufupi. Halafu tabu ni malombosi pafihida kwa ndabha jha lilobhi, mara bhikwikungufula.
18 Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
Na bhangi ndo bhala bhanandibhu mu mifwa, bha kalip'eleka lilobhi,
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)
lakini malombosi gha dunia, bhusiobhi bhwa mali, ni tamaa sya mambo ghangi ghakabhajhingila ni kulijhoghaniya lilobhi na lisindwa kuhogola matunda. (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.
Kisha bhajhele bhala ambabho bhapandibhu mu bhud'opi bhunofu. Bhikalipeleka lilobhi nikulipokela ni kuhogola matunda: baadhi thelathini, ni baadhi sitini, ni baadhi miamoja.”
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 akabhajobhela,”Je huwa ghwilela taa mugati mu nyumba ni kujhibheka basi pa kind'onga au pasi pa kitanda? Jhiletibhwa mugati ni kubhekibhwa panani pa kiango.
22 Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.
Kwa kujha kyalepi khenu kyokyoha kyakikifighili ambakyo kibetalepi kumanyikana na jhijhelepi siri ambayo jhibetalepi kubhakibhwa bhwasi.
23 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!
Akajhelayi mwenye mb'olokoto na apelekajhi!”
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.
Akabhajobhela,”Mujhelayi makini kwa khela kya mukakip'eleka, kwa kujha kup'emu kya mwip'ema, ndo kyamwibeta kup'emibhwa na jhibetakujhongesibhwa kwa muenga.
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.
Kwandabha muene jha ajhe nakhu ibetakukabha zaidi, na jhola jha abelili kujha nakhu ibetakunyakibhwa ni fela fidebe fya aj'he nakhu.”
26 God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.
Na akajobha, “Bhufalme bhwa K'yara bhufananisibhu ni munu jha apandili mbeyu mu bhud'opi.
27 “He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
Bho alili pakilu ni kujhumuka lukhela, ni mbeyu sikachipula ni kukhola ingawa amanyilepi Kya jhitokili.
28 The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.
Dunia jhipisya mbeyu jhiene; kwanza matondo, halafu maua, halafu mbeyu syasikomele.
29 When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.
Ni bhwakati mbeyu pa jhibetakujha jhifundili mara jhipelekibhwa mundu, kwa ndabha mavuno ghawadili.”
30 What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.
Na akajobha, “tubhufananisiajhi bhufalme bhwa K'yara ni khenu gani, au titumilajhi mfuanu bholoki kubhujhelesela?
31 “It's like a mustard seed, the tiniest seed of all.
Ni Kama mbeyu jha haradali, ambapo bho jhipandibhu jhidusu kuliko mbeyu sioha paduniani.
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.”
Hata, bhwakati jhipandibhu, j'hikhola ni kujha mbaha zaidi jha mimea ghioha ghya pa bustani, na jhibhomba matafi mabhaha hata fidege fya kumbinguni fibhwesya kubhomba fisuisi fya kubhene mu kivuli lyake.”
33 Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.
Kwa mifuanu mingi jhafundisi na ajobhili lilobhi kwa bhene Kwa kadiri kyabhabhwesili kujhelebhwa,
34 In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.
na ajobhili lepi nabhu bila mifano. Lakini bhwakati bho ajhele muene, akabhajhelesya kila khenu bhanafunzi bha muene.
35 Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
Mu ligono e'lu, bhwakati bhwa kimihi bho bhufikili kwa bhene, “Tubhoki lubhafu longi”.
36 Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
Hivyo bhakabhuleka bhumati, bhakan'tola Yesu, bhwakati obhu bhajhele mugati mu bhuatu, Miatu jhenge jhajhele pamonga ni muene.
37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
Ni mpongo bhukali bhwa linyegha bhukajha bhwijhingisya masi mu bhuatu ni bhuatu tayari bhwa melili masi.
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?”
Lakini Yesu muene ajhele mu shetri, agonili mu mto, bhakan'jobhela, bhakajhanda kun'jhumusiya, “Mwalimu, ghwijali lepi tete twifwa?”
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.
Na akajhumuka akabhukemela mp'ongo ni kujhijobhela bahari, “' J'higudamayi amani”. Mp'ongo ukagudama, na kwajhele ni bhutulivu ghubhakibhu.
40 “Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
Na akabhajobhela, “Kwa ndabha jha kiki mwitila? Je mjhelepi ni imani bado?”
41 They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Bhajhingilibhu ni hofu mbaha mugati mwa bhene na bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Ojho niani kabhele, kwa ndabha hata mp'ongo ghwa bhahari bhukan'tii?”.
