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.
Mme boidiidi jwa batho jo bo senang palo jwa mo dikaganyetsa mo lotshitshing fa a ntse a ruta, hong a tsena mo mokorong a nna fa fatshe a bua a le mo teng ga one.
2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
Mokgwa wa gagwe wa gale wa go ruta e ne e le go bolelela batho dipolelo. Nngwe ya tsone e tsamaile jaana:
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
“Reetsang! Molemi o kile a ikaelela go jala peo. Mme ya re a e gasa mo tshimong ya gagwe,
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.
nngwe ya yone ya wela mo tseleng, mme dinonyane tsa tla tsa e sela tsa e e ja.
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:
Nngwe ya yone ya wela mo mmung o mosesane fa go neng go ikadile lefika teng. Ya gola ka bonako, mme ya akofa ya swabisiwa ke mogote wa letsatsi ya a swa, ka ntlha ya gore medi ya yone e ne e sa otlega sentle mo mmung o o seng boteng.
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Tse dingwe dipeo tsa wela mo mitlweng, mme mitlwa ya gola ya hupetsa dijalo tse di potlana, jalo tsa se ka tsa ungwa,
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.
“Mme tse dingwe tsa wela mo mmung o o molemo, tsa ungwa ga masome a mararo tsa ata go fetisa jaaka a ne a jetse, dingwe tsa tsone tsa ungwa ga masome a marataro kgotsa lekgolo.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!”
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
Mme morago ga moo fa a le esi le ba ba lesome le bobedi le bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe, ba mmotsa ba re, “Polelo ya gago e raya eng?”
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:
Mme a ba araba a re, “Lo letleletswe go itse boammaaruri ka ga Bogosi jwa Modimo jo bo fitlhetsweng ba ba kwa ntle ga Bogosi: jaaka Moporofiti Isaia a bolela a re, ‘Le fa ba bona ebile ba utlwa ga ba kitla ba tlhaloganya, kgotsa ba sokologela mo Modimong kgotsa ba itshwarelwa dibe tsa bone.’
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.
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
“Mme fa lo se ka ke lwa tlhaloganya setshwantsho se se motlhofo se, lo tlaa dira jang kaga tse dingwe tse ke yang go di bolela.
14 The sower soweth the word.
Molemi yo ke neng ke bua ka ga gagwe ke mongwe yo o lereditseng batho molaetsa wa Modimo, a leka go jala peo e e siameng mo matshelong a bone.
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.
Tsela e e thata, fa go wetseng peo nngwe teng e tshwantshiwa le bopelo-e-thata jwa batho bangwe ba ba utlwang lefoko la Modimo; mme e re ka bofefo Satane a tle a leke go ba lebatsa lefoko.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
Mme mmu o o lokgwarapana o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba utlwang molaetsa ka boitumelo,
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.
mme jaaka ditlhatshana tse di mo mmung o o ntseng jalo, medi ya tsone ga e tsenelele mo teng, le fa, lwa ntlha di gola sentle, ere ka bonako fa matshwenyego a simologa di korobele.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
“Mmu o o mitlwa ke sesupo sa dipelo tsa batho ba ba reetsang Mafoko a a Molemo ba bo ba a amogela,
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)
mme ka bofefo dithato tsa lefatshe le menate ya mahumo le go batla go tswelela pele le go eletsa dilo tse dintle go tsene ka bofefo mme go kgoreletse molaetsa wa Modimo mo dipelong tsa bone mme go seke go nne loungo lope. (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.
“Mme mmu o o molemo o tshwantshiwa le dipelo tsa batho ba ba amogelang molaetsa wa Modimo ka boammaaruri, mme ba ungwele Modimo thobo e ntsi thata, ba ungwe ga masome a mararo le ga masome a le marataro le ga lekgolo tota go gaisa jaaka go jetswe mo dipelong tsa bone.”
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?
Hong a ba botsa a re, “Fa mongwe a tshuba lobone, a o lo baya ka fa tlase ga tafole gore lo fitlhe lesedi? Go ka se nne jalo! Lesedi ga le ka ke la bonwa kgotsa la dirisiwa. Lobone lo siametse go bewa mo setlhomong go bonesa le go nna le mosola.
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Gonne sengwe le sengwe se se fitlhegileng letsatsi lengwe se tlaa nna mo leseding.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Fa lo na le ditsebe, reetsang!
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.
Mme gape tlhomamisang lo dirise se lo se utlwang. Gantsi fa lo dira jalo, lo tlaa kgona go tlhaloganya thata se ke se lo bolelelang.
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.
Mme yo o nang le sengwe o tlaa newa; mme yo o senang sepe o tlaa tseelwa le se o nang le sone tota.
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Setshwantsho sengwe ke se, se se supang gore bogosi jwa Modimo bo ntse jang: Molemi o kile a jala peo mo tshimong ya gagwe,
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
mme a tsamaya, ya re malatsi a ntse a feta, dijalo tsa gola kwa ntle ga tlhokomelo ya gagwe.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Gonne mmu o ne o godisa dijalo. La ntlha mogwang wa tswa, diako tsa tlhoga, mme morago mabele a butswa.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Hong molemi a tla ka thipa ya gagwe a akofa a roba.”
30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Ke ka tshwantsha Bogosi jwa Modimo jang? Ke ka dirisa polelo efe go bo tshwantsha?
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:
Bo tshwana le peo ya mosetara! Le ntswa e le nngwe ya dipeo tse di potlana, e gola e nna nngwe ya ditlhare tse di tona thata, e nne le dikala tse di telele mo dinonyane di ka agang dintlhaga tsa tsone teng mme tsa sireletsega.”
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.
33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
O ne a dirisa ditshwantsho di le dintsi tse di ntseng jalo go ruta batho ka fa ba ka kgonang go tlhaloganya ka teng.
34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
Legale, o ne a ruta fela ka ditshwantsho fa a ruta mo pepeneneng, mme e re morago ga moo, fa a le esi le barutwa ba gagwe a simolole go ba di tlhalosetsa.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
Mme ya re mo maitseboeng, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “A re tsheleleng ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.”
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.
Hong ba mo tsaya, ba tswelela, ba tlogela bontsi jwa batho (le fa mekoro e mengwe e ne ya ba sala morago).
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
Mme ya re ka bonako matsubutsubu a magolo a phefo a tsoga. Makhubu a metse a simolola go tlolela mo mokorong go fitlhelela metse a tlala mo mokorong ebile o tloga o nwela.
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?
Jesu o ne a robetse kwa motsheo ga mokoro a samile mosamo. Mme ka bonako ba mo tsosa ka letshogo le legolo ba re, “Moruti, a ga o tshwenyege le fa re tloga re nwela rotlhe?”
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.
Hong a kgalemela phefo a raya lewatle a re, “Didimala!” Mme phefo ya didimala, ga ba ga nna tuulalo e kgolo!
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo ne lo tshositswe ke eng? A le jaana ga lo ise lo bo lo inkanye?”
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?
Mme ba tlala poifo thata ba ipotsa ba re, “Monna yo ke mang, yo diphefo le mawatle di mo utlwang?”
