< Mark 4 >
1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
Jesu sì tún bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ń kọ́ni létí Òkun, àwọn ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó yí i ká pọ̀ jọjọ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi bọ́ sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi, tí ó sì jókòó nínú rẹ̀ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ Òkun, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn sì wà ní ilẹ̀ létí Òkun.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
Ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í fi òwe bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀ nínú ẹ̀kọ́ rẹ̀ pé,
3 Listen; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
“Ẹ fi etí sílẹ̀! Ní ọjọ́ kan, afúnrúgbìn kan jáde lọ láti lọ fúnrúgbìn rẹ̀.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
Bí ó ti ń fúnrúgbìn, díẹ̀ bọ́ sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà, àwọn ẹyẹ sì wá, wọ́n sì ṣà á jẹ.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
Díẹ̀ bọ́ sórí ilẹ̀ àpáta, níbi tí erùpẹ̀ ko sí púpọ̀. Láìpẹ́ ọjọ́, ó hu jáde.
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí oòrùn mú gangan, ó jóná, nítorí tí kò ní gbòǹgbò, ó gbẹ.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Àwọn irúgbìn mìíràn sì bọ́ sáàrín ẹ̀gún, nígbà tí ẹ̀gún sì dàgbàsókè, ó fún wọn pa, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn irúgbìn náà kò le so èso.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
Ṣùgbọ́n òmíràn bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá, o sì so èso lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, òmíràn ọgbọọgbọ̀n, òmíràn ọgọọgọ́ta, àti òmíràn ọgọọgọ́rùn-ún.”
9 And he said to them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Jesu sì wí pé, “Ẹni tí ó bá ní etí láti fi gbọ́, kí ó gbọ́.”
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
Nígbà tí ó ku òun nìkan pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn méjìlá àti àwọn mìíràn, wọ́n bi í léèrè wí pé, “Kí ni ìtumọ̀ òwe rẹ̀?”
11 And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni a gbà láààyè láti mọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ nípa ìjọba Ọlọ́run. Èyí tí ó pamọ́ sí àwọn tí ó wà lẹ́yìn agbo ìjọba náà.
12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé, “‘wọn yóò rí i, wọn yóò sì gbọ́, kì yóò yé wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kì yóò sì yípadà sí Ọlọ́run. Tàbí kí a dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jì wọ́n!’”
13 And he said to them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?
Ṣùgbọ́n Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Bí òwe tí ó rọrùn yìí kò bá yé e yín? Báwo ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe mọ ìtumọ̀ àwọn mìíràn tí mo ń sọ fún un yín?
14 The sower sows the word.
Afúnrúgbìn ń fúnrúgbìn ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Àwọn èso tó bọ́ sí ojú ọ̀nà, ni àwọn ọlọ́kàn líle tí wọ́n gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, lójúkan náà èṣù wá ó sì mú kí wọn gbàgbé ohun tí wọ́n ti gbọ́.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
Bákan náà, àwọn tí ó bọ́ sórí àpáta, ni àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n fi ayọ̀ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution rises for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò ni gbòǹgbò tí ó jinlẹ̀ ní ọkàn wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n á wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀, lẹ́yìn náà nígbà ti wàhálà tàbí inúnibíni bá dìde nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà, lójúkan náà, wọ́n á kọsẹ̀.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
Àwọn tí ó bọ́ sáàrín ẹ̀gún ni àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà, tí wọn sì gbà á.
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn )
Ṣùgbọ́n láìpẹ́ jọjọ, àwọn adùn ayé àti inú dídùn, ọrọ̀ àti ìjàkadì fún àṣeyọrí àti ìfẹ́ àwọn ohun mèremère ayé, gba ọkàn wọn, wọ́n sì fún ọ̀rọ̀ náà pa ní ọkàn wọn. Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sì jẹ́ aláìléso. (aiōn )
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty times, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó bọ́ sí ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá, ní àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run tí wọ́n sì gbà á lóòtítọ́, wọ́n sì mú èso púpọ̀ jáde fún Ọlọ́run ní ọgbọọgbọ̀n, ọgọọgọ́ta, àti òmíràn ọgọọgọ́rùn-ún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti gbìn ín sí ọkàn wọn.”
21 And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “A ha lè gbé fìtílà wá láti fi sábẹ́ òsùwọ̀n tàbí sábẹ́ àkéte? Rárá o, ki a ṣe pe a o gbé e ka orí ọ̀pá fìtílà?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Gbogbo ohun tí ó pamọ́ nísinsin yìí yóò hàn ní gbangba ní ọjọ́ kan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ohun tí ó wà ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, bí kò ṣe pé kí ó le yọ sí gbangba.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá ní etí láti fi gbọ́, kí ó gbọ́.”
24 And he said to them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.
Ó sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Ẹ máa kíyèsi ohun tí ẹ bà gbọ́ dáradára, nítorí òsùwọ̀n tí ẹ̀yin bá fi wọ́n náà ni a ó fi wọ́n fún un yín àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
25 For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.
Nítorí ẹni tí ó bá ní, òun ni a ó tún fi fún sí i àti lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò bá ní, ni a ó ti gba èyí náà tí ó ní.”
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Ó sì tún sọ èyí pé, “Èyí ni a lè fi ìjọba Ọlọ́run wé. Ọkùnrin kan ń fúnrúgbìn sí ilẹ̀.
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knows not how.
Lóru àti ní ọ̀sán, bóyá ó sùn tàbí ó dìde, irúgbìn náà hu jáde, ó sì dàgbà, òun kò sì mọ̀ bí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Nítorí tí ilẹ̀ kọ́kọ́ hù èso jáde fún ara rẹ̀, ó mú èéhù ewé jáde, èyí tí ó tẹ̀lé e ní orí ọkà, ní ìparí, ọkà náà gbó.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Nígbà tí èso bá gbó tán, lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀, òun a tẹ dòjé bọ inú ọkà náà, ó sì kórè rẹ̀.”
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Jesu sì tún wí pé, “Kí ni kí èmi fi ìjọba Ọlọ́run wé? Òwe wo ni kí èmi fi ṣe àkàwé rẹ̀?
31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Ó dàbí èso hóró musitadi kan, lóòótọ́, ó jọ ọ̀kan nínú àwọn èso tí ó kéré jùlọ ti a gbìn sínú ilẹ̀.
32 But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Síbẹ̀, nígbà tí a gbìn ín, ó dàgbàsókè, ó gbilẹ̀, ó sì di títóbi ju gbogbo ewéko inú ọgbà yòókù lọ. Ó sì yọ ẹ̀ka ńlá níbi tí àwọn ẹyẹ ọ̀run lè kọ́ ìtẹ́ wọn sí, kí wọn sì rí ìdáàbòbò.”
33 And with many such parables spoke he the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Òun lo ọ̀pọ̀ irú òwe wọ̀nyí láti fi kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n bá ti ń fẹ́ láti ní òye tó.
34 But without a parable spoke he not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
Kìkì òwe ni Jesu fi ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ní ẹ̀kọ́ ìta gbangba rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn èyí, nígbà tí ó bá sì wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, òun a sì sọ ìtumọ̀ ohun gbogbo.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he says to them, Let us pass over to the other side.
Nígbà tí alẹ́ lẹ́, Jesu wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a rékọjá sí apá kejì.”
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
Nígbà tí wọn ti tú ìjọ ká, wọ́n sì gbà á sínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà. Àwọn ọkọ̀ ojú omi kékeré mìíràn sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
Ìjì líle ńlá kan sì dìde, omi sì ń bù sínú ọkọ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ọkọ̀ fi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í kún fún omi, ó sì fẹ́rẹ rì.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, care you not that we perish?
Jesu ti sùn lọ lẹ́yìn ọkọ̀, ó gbé orí lé ìrọ̀rí. Wọ́n sì jí i lóhùn rara wí pé, “Olùkọ́ni, tàbí ìwọ kò tilẹ̀ bìkítà pé gbogbo wa fẹ́ rì?”
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Ó dìde, ó bá ìjì líle náà wí, ó sì wí fún òkun pé, “Dákẹ́! Jẹ́ẹ́!” Ìjì náà sì dá, ìparọ́rọ́ ńlá sì wà.
40 And he said to them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?
Lẹ́yìn náà, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣojo bẹ́ẹ̀? Tàbí ẹ̀yin kò ì tí ì ní ìgbàgbọ́ síbẹ̀síbẹ̀?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n gidigidi, wọ́n sì wí fún ara wọn pé, “Irú ọkùnrin wo ni èyí, tí ìjì àti Òkun ń gbọ́ tirẹ̀!”
