Mark 4
1 AND he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto 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.
And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and great assemblies were gathered to him; so that, ascending, he sat in a bark on the sea, and the whole multitude stood on the land, by the edge of the water.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
And he instructed them by many parables, and said in his teaching,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
Listen: Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
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.
and as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowl came and devoured it.
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:
And other fell upon the rock, so that it had not much earth; and it soon came up, because it had not depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
but when the sun arose, it became hot; and inasmuch as it had no root, it dried up.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
And other fell in a place of thorns; and the thorns sprang up, and choked it, and it gave no fruits.
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.
But other fell upon good ground; and it came up, and grew, and gave fruits, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And he said, Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
And when he was alone, they who were with him along with his twelve inquired of him that parable.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
And Jeshu said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of Aloha; but to those without every thing is in parables:
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.
that while seeing they may see, and not see; and while hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
And he said to them, Do you not know this parable? how will you know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
The sower who sowed, the word sowed.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
These which were by the way-side, these are they in whom the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately cometh Satana, and taketh up the word which was sowed in their heart.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
And these who upon the rock are sowed, these are they who, when they have heard the word, at once with joy receive it:
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
but they have no root in themselves, but are (only) for a time; and when there is affliction or persecution on account of the word, they are soon offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
And these who in the place of thorns are sown, these are they who hear the word;
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 becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
and the care of this world, and the deceptiveness of wealth, and the remainder of other lusts, entering, choke the word, and it is without fruits. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
And these who in good ground are sowed, these are they who hear the word, and receive, and give fruits, thirty, and sixty, and a hundred.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
And he said to them, A lamp never cometh to be put under a measure, or under a bed: is it not set upon a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
For nothing is hid which shall not be revealed; nor is there any thing in secret which is not to be manifested.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
AND he said to them, Consider what you hear. With that measure which you mete, you shall have measured to you; and there shall be, added to you those which you hear.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
For whosoever hath, unto him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken from him.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as a man who shall cast seed into the earth;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
and shall sleep, and rise up by night and day, and the seed shall increase, and become long, while he knoweth not,
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
For the earth yieldeth him fruit; and first is there the plant, and after it the ear, but lastly the completed corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
But when the fruit is mature, immediately cometh the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
And he said, To what may we compare the kingdom of Aloha? and with what comparison shall we compare it?
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:
It is like a grain of mustard, which, when sown in the earth, is smaller than all seeds which are in the earth:
32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
and when it is sown, it springeth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and maketh great branches; so that in its shadow the fowl can dwell.
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
In parables such as these spake Jeshu with them, in parables such as they could hear.
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
And without parable did he not speak with them: but to his disciples, between him and them, he explained all.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
AND he said to them that day, in the evening, Let us pass to the opposite shore.
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.
And they sent away the assembles, and took him into the vessel; and other vessels were with him.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
And there was a great commotion and wind, and the waves fell upon the vessel, which was nigh being filled.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
But Jeshu upon a pillow slept in the after-part of the vessel, and they came and raised him, saying to him, Raban, hast thou no care that we are perishing?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he arose, and restrained the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be silent. And the wind ceased, and there was a great stillness.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
And he said to them, Why feared ye? how is it ye have no faith?
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?
And they feared with great fear, and said among themselves, Who is this, to whom the winds and the sea are obedient?
