Mark 4
1 And again He began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered to Him a great multitude, so that He, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,
anantaraM sa samudrataTE punarupadESTuM prArEbhE, tatastatra bahujanAnAM samAgamAt sa sAgarOpari naukAmAruhya samupaviSTaH; sarvvE lOkAH samudrakUlE tasthuH|
2 and He taught them many things in allegories, and He said to them in His teaching:
tadA sa dRSTAntakathAbhi rbahUpadiSTavAn upadizaMzca kathitavAn,
3 “Listen, behold, the sower went forth to sow;
avadhAnaM kuruta, EkO bIjavaptA bIjAni vaptuM gataH;
4 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the birds of the sky came and devoured it;
vapanakAlE kiyanti bIjAni mArgapAzvE patitAni, tata AkAzIyapakSiNa Etya tAni cakhAduH|
5 and other fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of having no depth of earth,
kiyanti bIjAni svalpamRttikAvatpASANabhUmau patitAni tAni mRdOlpatvAt zIghramagkuritAni;
6 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of having no root it withered;
kintUditE sUryyE dagdhAni tathA mUlAnO nAdhOgatatvAt zuSkANi ca|
7 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit;
kiyanti bIjAni kaNTakivanamadhyE patitAni tataH kaNTakAni saMvRdvya tAni jagrasustAni na ca phalitAni|
8 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it was bearing, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
tathA kiyanti bIjAnyuttamabhUmau patitAni tAni saMvRdvya phalAnyutpAditAni kiyanti bIjAni triMzadguNAni kiyanti SaSTiguNAni kiyanti zataguNAni phalAni phalitavanti|
9 And He said to them, “He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
atha sa tAnavadat yasya zrOtuM karNau staH sa zRNOtu|
10 And when He was alone, those around Him, with the Twelve, asked Him of the allegory,
tadanantaraM nirjanasamayE tatsagginO dvAdazaziSyAzca taM taddRSTAntavAkyasyArthaM papracchuH|
11 and He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the secret of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, in allegories are all the things done,
tadA sa tAnuditavAn IzvararAjyasya nigUPhavAkyaM bOddhuM yuSmAkamadhikArO'sti;
12 that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.”
kintu yE vahirbhUtAH "tE pazyantaH pazyanti kintu na jAnanti, zRNvantaH zRNvanti kintu na budhyantE, cEttai rmanaHsu kadApi parivarttitESu tESAM pApAnyamOcayiSyanta," atOhEtOstAn prati dRSTAntairEva tAni mayA kathitAni|
13 And He says to them, “Have you not known this allegory? And how will you know all the allegories?
atha sa kathitavAn yUyaM kimEtad dRSTAntavAkyaM na budhyadhvE? tarhi kathaM sarvvAn dRSTAntAna bhOtsyadhvE?
14 He who is sowing sows the word;
bIjavaptA vAkyarUpANi bIjAni vapati;
15 and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, Satan immediately comes, and he takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.
tatra yE yE lOkA vAkyaM zRNvanti, kintu zrutamAtrAt zaitAn zIghramAgatya tESAM manaHsUptAni tAni vAkyarUpANi bIjAnyapanayati taEva uptabIjamArgapArzvEsvarUpAH|
16 And these are they, in like manner, who are sown on the rocky ground: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
yE janA vAkyaM zrutvA sahasA paramAnandEna gRhlanti, kintu hRdi sthairyyAbhAvAt kinjcit kAlamAtraM tiSThanti tatpazcAt tadvAkyahEtOH
17 and have no root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.
kutracit klEzE upadravE vA samupasthitE tadaiva vighnaM prApnuvanti taEva uptabIjapASANabhUmisvarUpAH|
18 And these are they who are sown toward the thorns: these are they who are hearing the word,
yE janAH kathAM zRNvanti kintu sAMsArikI cintA dhanabhrAnti rviSayalObhazca EtE sarvvE upasthAya tAM kathAM grasanti tataH mA viphalA bhavati (aiōn g165)
19 and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
taEva uptabIjasakaNTakabhUmisvarUpAH|
20 And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who hear the word, and receive, and bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
yE janA vAkyaM zrutvA gRhlanti tESAM kasya vA triMzadguNAni kasya vA SaSTiguNAni kasya vA zataguNAni phalAni bhavanti taEva uptabIjOrvvarabhUmisvarUpAH|
21 And He said to them, “Does the lamp come that it may be put under the measure, or under the bed—not that it may be put on the lampstand?
tadA sO'paramapi kathitavAn kOpi janO dIpAdhAraM parityajya drONasyAdhaH khaTvAyA adhE vA sthApayituM dIpamAnayati kiM?
22 For there is not anything hid that may not be revealed, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.
atOhEtO ryanna prakAzayiSyatE tAdRg lukkAyitaM kimapi vastu nAsti; yad vyaktaM na bhaviSyati tAdRzaM guptaM kimapi vastu nAsti|
23 If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”
yasya zrOtuM karNau staH sa zRNOtu|
24 And He said to them, “Take heed what you hear; in what measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear it will be added;
aparamapi kathitavAn yUyaM yad yad vAkyaM zRNutha tatra sAvadhAnA bhavata, yatO yUyaM yEna parimANEna parimAtha tEnaiva parimANEna yuSmadarthamapi parimAsyatE; zrOtArO yUyaM yuSmabhyamadhikaM dAsyatE|
25 for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever has not, also that which he has will be taken from him.”
yasyAzrayE varddhatE tasmai aparamapi dAsyatE, kintu yasyAzrayE na varddhatE tasya yat kinjcidasti tadapi tasmAn nESyatE|
26 And He said, “Thus is the Kingdom of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,
anantaraM sa kathitavAn EkO lOkaH kSEtrE bIjAnyuptvA
27 and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed springs up and grows, he has not known how;
jAgaraNanidrAbhyAM divAnizaM gamayati, parantu tadvIjaM tasyAjnjAtarUpENAgkurayati varddhatE ca;
28 for of itself the earth bears fruit, first a blade, afterward an ear, afterward full grain in the ear;
yatOhEtOH prathamataH patrANi tataH paraM kaNizAni tatpazcAt kaNizapUrNAni zasyAni bhUmiH svayamutpAdayati;
29 and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
kintu phalESu pakkESu zasyacchEdanakAlaM jnjAtvA sa tatkSaNaM zasyAni chinatti, anEna tulyamIzvararAjyaM|
30 And He said, “To what may we liken the Kingdom of God, or in what allegory may we compare it?
punaH sO'kathayad IzvararAjyaM kEna samaM? kEna vastunA saha vA tadupamAsyAmi?
31 As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth;
tat sarSapaikEna tulyaM yatO mRdi vapanakAlE sarSapabIjaM sarvvapRthivIsthabIjAt kSudraM
32 and whenever it may be sown, it comes up, and becomes greater than any of the herbs, and makes great branches, so that under its shade the birds of the sky are able to rest.”
kintu vapanAt param agkurayitvA sarvvazAkAd bRhad bhavati, tasya bRhatyaH zAkhAzca jAyantE tatastacchAyAM pakSiNa AzrayantE|
33 And with many such allegories He was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,
itthaM tESAM bOdhAnurUpaM sO'nEkadRSTAntaistAnupadiSTavAn,
34 and without an allegory He was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to His disciples He was expounding all.
dRSTAntaM vinA kAmapi kathAM tEbhyO na kathitavAn pazcAn nirjanE sa ziSyAn sarvvadRSTAntArthaM bOdhitavAn|
35 And He says to them on that day, evening having come, “We may pass over to the other side”;
taddinasya sandhyAyAM sa tEbhyO'kathayad Agacchata vayaM pAraM yAma|
36 and having let away the multitude, they take Him up as He was in the boat, and other little boats were also with Him.
tadA tE lOkAn visRjya tamavilambaM gRhItvA naukayA pratasthirE; aparA api nAvastayA saha sthitAH|
37 And there comes a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,
tataH paraM mahAjhanjbhzagamAt nau rdOlAyamAnA taraggENa jalaiH pUrNAbhavacca|
38 and He Himself was on the stern, sleeping on the pillow, and they wake Him up, and say to Him, “Teacher, are You not caring that we perish?”
tadA sa naukAcazcAdbhAgE upadhAnE zirO nidhAya nidrita AsIt tatastE taM jAgarayitvA jagaduH, hE prabhO, asmAkaM prANA yAnti kimatra bhavatazcintA nAsti?
39 And having awoken, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace, be stilled”; and the wind stilled, and there was a great calm;
tadA sa utthAya vAyuM tarjitavAn samudranjcOktavAn zAntaH susthirazca bhava; tatO vAyau nivRttE'bdhirnistaraggObhUt|
40 and He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How have you no faith?”
tadA sa tAnuvAca yUyaM kuta EtAdRkzagkAkulA bhavata? kiM vO vizvAsO nAsti?
41 And they feared a great fear and said to one another, “Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
