Mark 4
1 And hee began againe to teache by the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that hee entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land.
Nʼoge ọzọ, ọ malitere izi ihe nʼakụkụ osimiri. Igwe mmadụ dị ukwuu gbara ya gburugburu, nke mere na ọ banyere nʼime ụgbọ nọdụ ala nʼime ya nʼelu mmiri ahụ, ma igwe mmadụ ahụ nọkwa nʼakụkụ osimiri ahụ.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
O bidoro i kuziri ha ọtụtụ ihe nʼilu, ma nʼozizi ya, ọ sịrị ha,
3 Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe.
“Geenụ ntị! Otu onye ọrụ ubi pụrụ gaa ịkụ mkpụrụ ya.
4 And it came to passe as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the foules of the heauen came, and deuoured it vp.
Mgbe ọ na-agha mkpụrụ, ụfọdụ mkpụrụ dara nʼakụkụ ụzọ, ụmụ nnụnụ bịara tụtụrịa ha.
5 And some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang vp, because it had not depth of earth.
Ụfọdụ mkpụrụ dara nʼala nkume, ebe aja ntakịrị dị. Ha puputara ngwangwa nʼihi na ala dị nʼebe ahụ emighị emi.
6 But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away.
Ma mgbe anwụ wara, ọ chagburu ha, ha kpọnwụọ nʼihi na ha enweghị mgbọrọgwụ.
7 And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.
Mkpụrụ ndị ọzọ dara nʼetiti ogwu; ogwu ahụ tolitere kpagbuo ha. Ha amịkwaghị mkpụrụ.
8 Some againe fell in good grounde, and did yeelde fruite that sprong vp, and grewe, and it brought foorth, some thirtie folde, some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde.
Mkpụrụ ndị ọzọ nke dara nʼezi ala, puru, tolite, ma mịa mkpụrụ na mmụba iri atọ, iri isii, ọ bụladị otu narị.”
9 Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.”
10 And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable.
Ma mgbe ọ nọ naanị ya, ndị ozi iri na abụọ ahụ na ndị ọzọ nọ ya gburugburu jụrụ ya ajụjụ banyere ilu ahụ.
11 And he saide vnto them, To you it is giuen to knowe the mysterie of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all thinges bee done in parables,
Ọ gwara ha sị, “Enyela unu ihe omimi nke alaeze Chineke. Ma ndị nọ nʼezi, a na-agwa ha ihe niile nʼilu,
12 That they seeing, may see, and not discerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not vnderstand, least at any time they should turne, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them.
nke mere na, “‘Ha ga na-ele anya, hụkwa, ma ha agaghị ahụ ihe ọbụla, ha ga na-anụ, nụkwa, ma ha agaghị aghọta ihe ọbụla, ma ọ bụghị ya, ha nwere ike chigharịa bụrụ ndị a gbaghaara.’”
13 Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables?
Mgbe ahụ, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Ọ bụ na unu aghọtaghị ilu a? Unu ga-esikwa aṅaa ghọta ilu ndị ọzọ?
14 The sower soweth the worde.
Ọgha mkpụrụ ahụ na-agha okwu Chineke.
15 And these are they that receiue the seede by the wayes side, in whome the worde is sowen: but when they haue heard it, Satan commeth immediatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in their heartes.
Mmadụ ụfọdụ dị ka mkpụrụ ndị ahụ dara nʼakụkụ ụzọ, ebe a kụrụ okwu ahụ. Ngwangwa ha nụrụ ya, ekwensu na-abịa napụ ha okwu ahụ nke a kụrụ nʼime ha.
16 And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse.
Ndị ọzọ dị ka mkpụrụ a kụrụ nʼala nkume. Ha nụrụ okwu ahụ, were ọṅụ nabata ya nʼotu mgbe ahụ.
17 Yet haue they no roote in themselues, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the worde, immediatly they be offended.
Ma ebe ha na-enweghị mgbọrọgwụ nʼime ha, ha na-anọ nwa oge nta. Mgbe nsogbu maọbụ mkpagbu bịara nʼihi okwu ahụ, ngwangwa ha na-adachapụ.
18 Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word:
Ndị nke ọzọkwa, dị ka mkpụrụ dara nʼetiti ogwu, nụrụ okwu ahụ;
19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnes of riches, and the lustes of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is vnfruitfull. (aiōn g165)
ma nchekasị nke ndụ a, na nghọgbu nke akụnụba, na oke ọchịchọ, nakwa ihe ndị ọzọ na-abata, kpagbuo okwu ahụ, mee ka ọ ghara ịmị mkpụrụ. (aiōn g165)
20 But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth.
Ndị ọzọ, dị ka mkpụrụ a kụrụ nʼezi ala, nụrụ okwu ahụ, nabata ya ma mịa mkpụrụ dị iri atọ, iri isii, maọbụ otu narị.”
21 Also he saide vnto them, Commeth the candle in, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the bed, and not to be put on a candlesticke?
Ọ sịrị ha, “A na-ebute oriọna ka e jiri efere kpuchie ya maọbụ dọnye ya nʼokpuru akwa ndina? Ọ bụghị ka a dọba ya nʼelu ihe ịdọba iheọkụ?
22 For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
Nʼihi na ihe niile e zoro ezo ga-apụta ihe ma ihe niile e kpuchiri ekpuchi ka a ga-emesịa kpughee.
23 If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.”
24 And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Kpacharanụ anya ihe unu na-anụ. Ọ bụkwa ihe unu ji tụọrọ ndị ọzọ ka a ga-eji tụọrọ unu, maọbụ karịa.
25 For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.
Onye nwere ihe ka a ga-enye karịa; onye na-enweghị, ọ bụladị nke o nwere ka a ga-anapụ ya.”
26 Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,
Ọ sịkwara, “Alaeze Chineke yiri ihe dị otu a. Ọ dịka mgbe otu onye ghara mkpụrụ nʼala ubi.
27 And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.
Ehihie na abalị, ma ọ nọ nʼụra ma o tetara, mkpụrụ ahụ na-epupụte na-etokwa, ma ọ maghị ka o si na-eme.
28 For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.
Ala ahụ nʼonwe ya na-eme ka mkpụrụ ahụ puo. Ọ na-epupụte na mbụ, too oko, emesịa isi ọka, nʼikpeazụ ọ mịkwara mkpụrụ kara aka nʼoko ya.
29 And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
Mgbe ọka ahụ chara ịghọ ya, o na-eji mma iwe ihe ubi ya bịa gbutuo ọka ahụ, ghọrọkwa ogbe ọka laa, nʼihi na oge iwe ihe nʼubi eruola.”
30 He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Ọzọkwa, ọ sịrị, “Gịnị ọzọ ka anyị pụrụ ịsị na alaeze Chineke yiri? Ụdị ilu dị aṅaa ka anyị ga-eji kọwaa ya?
31 It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth:
Ọ dị ka mkpụrụ mọstaadị, nke bụ mkpụrụ dịkarịsịrị nta nke a na-akụ nʼala.
32 But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it.
Ma mgbe a kụrụ ya, ọ na-eto bukarịa ihe niile a kụrụ nʼubi, ọ na-enwe alaka dị ukwuu nke bụ na ụmụ anụ ufe nke eluigwe na-ezukwa ike nʼokpuru ya.”
33 And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
O jiri ọtụtụ ilu yiri ndị a gwa ha okwu dị ka ha pụrụ ịghọta.
34 And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.
O nweghị oge ọbụla ọ gwara ha okwu hapụ iji ilu. Ma ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya naanị nọdụ, ọ na-akọwara ha ihe niile.
35 Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ nʼoge uhuruchi, ọ gwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị, “Ka anyị gafee nʼofe nke ọzọ.”
36 And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.
Ha hapụrụ igwe mmadụ ahụ ma kpọrọ ya, otu ọ dị, ya na ha banyere nʼime ụgbọ. Ụgbọ ndị ọzọ dịkwa na-eso ya.
37 And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.
Oke ifufe dị ike bidoro ife, ebili mmiri na-awụbakwa nʼụgbọ ahụ ruo na ụgbọ ha fọdụrụ ntakịrị ka mmiri mie ya.
38 And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
Ma Jisọs nọ nʼazụ azụ ụgbọ ahụ na-arahụ ụra nʼelu ohiri isi. Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya kpọtere ya sị ya, “Onye ozizi, o metụghị gị nʼobi na anyị nʼala nʼiyi?”
39 And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme.
Ọ biliri ọtọ, baara ifufe ahụ mba sịkwa osimiri ahụ, “Kwụsị! Dere jii!” Ifufe ahụ kwụsịrị, ebe niile dajụrụ deere jii.
40 Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?
Ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya, “Gịnị mere unu ji atụ oke egwu? Ọ bụ na unu enwebeghị okwukwe?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?
Ha niile tụrụ egwu, jụrịta onwe ha sị, “Onye bụ onye a? Ọ bụladị ifufe na ebili mmiri na-erubere ya isi!”
