< Mark 4 >
1 And again he began to teach by the lake. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat on the lake, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the lake.
και παλιν ηρξατο διδασκειν παρα την θαλασσαν και συναγεται προς αυτον οχλος πλειστος ωστε αυτον εις πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι εν τη θαλασση και πας ο οχλος προς την θαλασσαν επι της γης ησαν
2 And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
και εδιδασκεν αυτους εν παραβολαις πολλα και ελεγεν αυτοις εν τη διδαχη αυτου
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
ακουετε ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων σπειραι
4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
και εγενετο εν τω σπειρειν ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ηλθεν τα πετεινα και κατεφαγεν αυτο
5 And others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
και αλλο επεσεν επι το πετρωδες {VAR1: [και] } οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθυς εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης
6 And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
και οτε ανετειλεν ο ηλιος εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
και αλλο επεσεν εις τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και συνεπνιξαν αυτο και καρπον ουκ εδωκεν
8 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth thirty times, and sixty times, and one hundred times."
και αλλα επεσεν εις την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον αναβαινοντα και αυξανομενα και εφερεν {VAR1: εις } {VAR2: εν } τριακοντα και εν εξηκοντα και εν εκατον
9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
και ελεγεν ος εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
και οτε εγενετο κατα μονας ηρωτων αυτον οι περι αυτον συν τοις δωδεκα τας παραβολας
11 And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,
και ελεγεν αυτοις υμιν το μυστηριον δεδοται της βασιλειας του θεου εκεινοις δε τοις εξω εν παραβολαις τα παντα γινεται
12 that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn and be forgiven.'"
ινα βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και μη ιδωσιν και ακουοντες ακουωσιν και μη συνιωσιν μηποτε επιστρεψωσιν και αφεθη αυτοις
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
και λεγει αυτοις ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε
14 The farmer sows the word.
ο σπειρων τον λογον σπειρει
15 And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satana comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
ουτοι δε εισιν οι παρα την οδον οπου σπειρεται ο λογος και οταν ακουσωσιν ευθυς ερχεται ο σατανας και αιρει τον λογον τον εσπαρμενον εις αυτους
16 And these in a similar way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
και ουτοι εισιν {VAR1: ομοιως } οι επι τα πετρωδη σπειρομενοι οι οταν ακουσωσιν τον λογον ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανουσιν αυτον
17 And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Then, when oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
και ουκ εχουσιν ριζαν εν εαυτοις αλλα προσκαιροι εισιν ειτα γενομενης θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζονται
18 And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
και αλλοι εισιν οι εις τας ακανθας σπειρομενοι ουτοι εισιν οι τον λογον ακουσαντες
19 and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn )
και αι μεριμναι του αιωνος και η απατη του πλουτου και αι περι τα λοιπα επιθυμιαι εισπορευομεναι συμπνιγουσιν τον λογον και ακαρπος γινεται (aiōn )
20 And those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
και εκεινοι εισιν οι επι την γην την καλην σπαρεντες οιτινες ακουουσιν τον λογον και παραδεχονται και καρποφορουσιν εν τριακοντα και {VAR1: [εν] } {VAR2: εν } εξηκοντα και {VAR1: [εν] } {VAR2: εν } εκατον
21 And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not put on a stand?
και ελεγεν αυτοις {VAR1: οτι } μητι ερχεται ο λυχνος ινα υπο τον μοδιον τεθη η υπο την κλινην ουχ ινα επι την λυχνιαν τεθη
22 For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον εαν μη ινα φανερωθη ουδε εγενετο αποκρυφον αλλ ινα ελθη εις φανερον
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
ει τις εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
24 And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.
και ελεγεν αυτοις βλεπετε τι ακουετε εν ω μετρω μετρειτε μετρηθησεται υμιν και προστεθησεται υμιν
25 For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
ος γαρ εχει δοθησεται αυτω και ος ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
και ελεγεν ουτως εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου ως ανθρωπος βαλη τον σπορον επι της γης
27 and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
και καθευδη και εγειρηται νυκτα και ημεραν και ο σπορος βλαστα και μηκυνηται ως ουκ οιδεν αυτος
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
αυτοματη η γη καρποφορει πρωτον χορτον {VAR1: ειτεν σταχυν ειτεν πληρη } {VAR2: ειτα σταχυν ειτα (πληρης) } σιτον εν τω σταχυι
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
οταν δε παραδοι ο καρπος ευθυς αποστελλει το δρεπανον οτι παρεστηκεν ο θερισμος
30 And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
και ελεγεν πως ομοιωσωμεν την βασιλειαν του θεου η εν τινι αυτην παραβολη θωμεν
31 It's like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the soil, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the soil,
ως κοκκω σιναπεως ος οταν σπαρη επι της γης μικροτερον ον παντων των σπερματων των επι της γης
32 And when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the garden plants, and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
και οταν σπαρη αναβαινει και γινεται μειζον παντων των λαχανων και ποιει κλαδους μεγαλους ωστε δυνασθαι υπο την σκιαν αυτου τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατασκηνουν
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
και τοιαυταις παραβολαις πολλαις ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον καθως ηδυναντο ακουειν
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
χωρις δε παραβολης ουκ ελαλει αυτοις κατ ιδιαν δε τοις ιδιοις μαθηταις επελυεν παντα
35 And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
και λεγει αυτοις εν εκεινη τη ημερα οψιας γενομενης διελθωμεν εις το περαν
36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
και αφεντες τον οχλον παραλαμβανουσιν αυτον ως ην εν τω πλοιω και αλλα πλοια ην μετ αυτου
37 And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
και γινεται λαιλαψ μεγαλη ανεμου και τα κυματα επεβαλλεν εις το πλοιον ωστε ηδη γεμιζεσθαι το πλοιον
38 And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
και αυτος ην εν τη πρυμνη επι το προσκεφαλαιον καθευδων και εγειρουσιν αυτον και λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε ου μελει σοι οτι απολλυμεθα
39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the lake, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
και διεγερθεις επετιμησεν τω ανεμω και ειπεν τη θαλασση σιωπα πεφιμωσο και εκοπασεν ο ανεμος και εγενετο γαληνη μεγαλη
40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
και ειπεν αυτοις τι δειλοι εστε ουπω εχετε πιστιν
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"
και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν και ελεγον προς αλληλους τις αρα ουτος εστιν οτι και ο ανεμος και η θαλασσα υπακουει αυτω
