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.
Ary nampianatra teo amoron’ ny ranomasina indray Jesosy; ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanatona Azy, dia niditra teo an-tsambokely Izy ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny ranomasina; ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia teny an-tanety amoron-dranomasina.
2 He illustrated his teachings using many stories.
Ary nampianatra azy zavatra maro tamin’ ny fanoharana Izy ka nilaza tamin’ ny fampianarany azy hoe:
3 “Listen,” he said. “A sower went out to sow.
Mihainoa: Indro, nivoaka ny mpamafy mba hamafy.
4 Now as he was scattering the seeds, some fell on the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Ary raha namafy izy, ny sasany dia voafafy teny amoron-dalana, dia avy ny vorona ka nandany izany.
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
Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy; dia nalaky nitrebona ireny, satria tsy nisy tany lalina.
6 they were scorched when the sun came up. Since they didn't have any real roots, they soon withered.
Fa rehefa niposaka ny masoandro, dia nalazo ireny; ary satria tsy nanam-paka, dia maty izy.
7 Other seeds fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked the sprouting seeds, so they produced nothing.
Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo; ary ny tsilo naniry ka nangeja azy, dia tsy namoa izy.
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.
Ary ny sasany dia voafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara, ary raha naniry sy namoa, dia vokatra, fa namoa: ny sasany avy telo-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy zato heny.
9 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying.”
Ary hoy Izy: Izay manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
10 When he was by himself, his twelve disciples and the others who were with him asked him what the illustrations meant.
Ary raha tao amin’ ny mangingina Izy, dia nanontany Azy ny amin’ ny fanoharana ireo nomba Azy mbamin’ ny roa ambin’ ny folo lahy.
11 He told them, “The mystery of God's kingdom has been given to you to understand. But outsiders only have the stories,
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Hianareo no efa nomena ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra; fa amin’ ireny izay any ivelany kosa ny zavatra rehetra dia atao amin’ ny fanoharana;
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.”
mba hijery mandrakariva ihany izy, fa tsy hahita; ary mba handre mandrakariva ihany izy, fa tsy hahafantatra; fandrao hibebaka izy, ka havela ny helony.
13 “Don't you understand this story?” Jesus asked them. “If you can't, how are you going to understand all the other stories?
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Tsy azonareo va ilay fanoharana teo? koa hataonareo ahoana no fahafantatra ny fanoharana rehetra?
14 The sower sows the word.
Ny mpamafy dia mamafy ny teny.
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.
Ary ireto no ilay teo amoron-dalana, dia izay amafazana ny teny, fa rehefa nandre izy, dia avy miaraka amin’ izay Satana ka manaisotra ny teny izay nafafy tao aminy.
16 Likewise the seeds on the rocky ground illustrate those who hear the word, and happily accept it right away.
Ary tahaka izany koa, ireto no ilay voafafy teny amin’ ny tany marivo ambony vatolampy, dia izay mandre ny teny ka malaky mandray izany amin’ ny hafaliana;
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.
nefa tsy manam-paka ao anatiny ireny, fa maharitra vetivety foana; koa rehefa afaka izany, ka tonga izay fahoriana na fanenjehana noho ny teny, dia tafintohina miaraka amin’ izay izy.
18 Those sown among the thorns illustrate those who hear the word,
Ary misy hafa koa izay voafafy teny amin’ ny tsilo, dia ireo no ilay nandre ny teny,
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)
fa ny fiahiahiana izao fiainana izao sy ny fitaky ny harena ary ny filàna ny zavatra hafa miditra, dia mangeja ny teny, ka tsy mamoa izy. (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.
Ary ireto no ilay voafafy teny amin’ ny tany tsara, dia izay mandre ny teny ka mandray azy dia mamoa: ny sasany avy telo-polo heny, ny sasany avy enim-polo heny, ary ny sasany avy zato heny.
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.
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Moa entina va ny jiro mba hosaronan’ ny vata famarana, na hatao ao ambanin’ ny farafara? Tsy hatao amin’ ny fanaovan-jiro va izy?
22 Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.
Fa tsy misy takona izay tsy ho hita, na miafina izay tsy haseho.
23 If you have ears to hear, listen to what I'm saying!
Raha misy olona manan-tsofina ho enti-mihaino, aoka izy hihaino.
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.
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Diniho izay teny renareo; araka ny ohatra anoharanareo ihany no hanoharana ho anareo, ary homena mihoatra aza ianareo.
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.
Fa izay manana no homena; ary ny amin’ ny tsy manana, na dia izay ananany aza dia halaina aminy.
26 God's kingdom is like a man sowing seed in the ground,” Jesus said.
Ary hoy Izy: Toy izao ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra: tahaka ny lehilahy mamafy voa amin’ ny tany
27 “He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, but the man has no knowledge of how the seeds sprout and grow.
ka matory sy mahatsiaro isan’ alina sy isan’ andro; ary ny voa dia mitsimoka ka maniry, nefa tsy fantany ny faniriny
28 The earth produces a harvest by itself. First a shoot appears, then the heads of grain, and then the heads of grain ripen.
Fa ny tany mahavokatra ho azy: voalohany misy tahony, dia teraka, ary rehefa izany, dia feno voa.
29 When the grain is ripe, the farmer reaps it with a sickle, because the harvest is ready.
Fa rehefa azo jinjana izy, dia jinjany miaraka amin’ izay, fa efa tonga ny fararano.
30 What can we compare God's kingdom to? What illustration shall we use?” he asked.
Ary hoy Izy: Ahoana no hanoharantsika ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra, ary inona no fanoharana hanoharantsika azy?
31 “It's like a mustard seed, the tiniest seed of all.
Tahaka ny voantsinapy izy, izay kely noho ny voa rehetra, raha vao afafy amin’ ny tany;
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.”
Fa rehefa voafafy kosa izy, dia maniry ka tonga lehibe noho ny anana rehetra, ary mandrantsana vaventy, ka azon’ ny voro-manidina itoerana ny alokalony.
33 Jesus used many of these illustrated stories when he spoke to the people so they would understand as much as they could.
Ary fanoharana maro toy izany no nanambarany ny teny taminy, araka izay hainy hohenoina.
34 In fact, when he spoke publicly, he only used stories; however in private he explained everything to his disciples.
Ary raha tsy tamin’ ny fanoharana dia tsy niteny taminy Izy; ary tamin’ ny mangingina no nilazany tamin’ ny mpianany ny hevitr’ ireo rehetra ireo.
35 Later that day, in the evening, he said to his disciples, “Let's go across to the other side of the Sea.”
Ary androtrizay ihany, rehefa hariva ny andro, dia hoy Izy taminy: Andeha isika hita ho eny am-pita.
36 Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples went with Jesus and got into a boat. Other boats went with them.
Ary rehefa nampodin’ ny mpianany ny vahoaka, dia nentiny tamin’ io sambokely io tamin’ izao ihany Jesosy. Ary nisy sambokely sasany koa niaraka taminy.
37 Soon a terrible storm started blowing, and waves crashed against the boat, filling it with water.
Ary nisy tafio-drivotra mahery, ary nianjerazeran’ ny alon-drano ny sambokely ka nila ho feno rano.
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?”
Ary Jesosy natory teo am-bodin’ ny sambokely tambonin’ ny ondana; ary namoha Azy izy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mpampianatra ô, tsy mampaninona Anao va izao hahafatesanay izao?
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.
Ary nifoha Izy, dia niteny mafy ny rivotra sady nilaza tamin’ ny ranomasina hoe: Mangìna, mitsahara. Ary dia nitsahatra ny rivotra, ka tony tsara ny andro.
40 “Why are you so frightened? Haven't you learned to trust me?” he asked them.
Ary hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana no saro-tahotra ianareo? Tsy mbola manam-pinoana va ianareo?
41 They were stunned and terrified. They asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Ary natahotra indrindra izy ireo ka niresaka hoe: Iza moa Ity, fa ny rivotra sy ny ranomasina aza manaiky Azy?
