Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a large crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. And the whole crowd was on the land by the sea.
Jeesus hakkas taas mere ääres õpetama. Teda tuli kuulama nii palju rahvast, et ta astus paati ja istus vee peal paadis, sel ajal kui rahvas kuulas teda kaldal.
2 And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Ta näitlikustas oma õpetusi paljude lugudega.
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
„Kuulake, “ütles ta. „Üks külvaja läks välja külvama.
4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Kui ta külvates seemneid laiali puistas, kukkus osa teerajale, linnud tulid ja sõid seemned sealt ära.
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.
Osa seemneid pudenes kivisele pinnale, kus ei olnud eriti mulda. Madalas mullakihis hakkasid taimed kiiresti kasvama, aga kuna mullakiht ei olnud sügav,
6 And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
kõrvetas päike taimi. Kuna neil ei olnud päris juuri, närbusid taimed peagi.
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Osa seemneid pudenes ohakate sekka. Ohakad kasvasid suureks ja lämmatasid tärkava orase, nii et sellest ei tulnud midagi.
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."
Osa seemneid langes heale pinnasele, kus nad idanesid ja kasvasid ning andsid saagiks mõni kolmkümmend, mõni kuuskümmend ja mõni sada korda külvatust rohkem.
9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
Kui teil on kuulmiseks kõrvad, siis kuulake, mida ma teile räägin.“
10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Kui Jeesus oli omapead, küsisid kaksteist jüngrit ja teised, kes olid koos temaga, mida need võrdlused tähendasid.
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,
Ta ütles neile: „Teie saate Jumala riigi mõistatusest aru. Kuid kõrvalseisjatel on ainult lood,
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.'"
nii et kuigi nad näevad, nad tegelikult ei „näe“, ja kuigi nad kuulevad, nad ei mõista, muidu pöörduksid nad minu poole ja saaksid andeks.“
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
„Kas te ei saa sellest loost aru?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Kui ei saa, kuidas te siis kõigist ülejäänud lugudest aru saate?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Külvaja külvab sõna.
15 And these are the ones by the road where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
Seemned rajal, kuhu sõna külvati, kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõnumit, kuid siis tuleb kohe Saatan ja võtab ära sõna, mis neisse on külvatud.
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.
Samal kombel kujutab kivine pind, kuhu seemned langesid, neid, kes kuulevad sõna ja võtavad selle kohe rõõmuga vastu.
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.
Aga kuna neil ei ole päris juuri, jäävad nad püsima ainult veidikeseks ajaks, kuni tulevad probleemid või tagakiusamine, ja siis langevad nad kiiresti.
18 And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
Ohakate sekka külvatu kujutab neid, kes kuulevad sõna,
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 g165)
kuid selle maailma mured, rikkuse ahvatlus ja muud segavad asjaolud lämmatavad sõna kasvu ja see ei kanna vilja. (aiōn g165)
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."
Ent heale pinnasele külvatud seemned kujutavad neid, kes kuulevad sõna, võtavad selle vastu ja kannavad vilja, andes kolmkümmend, kuuskümmend ja sada korda rohkem kui külvati.
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?
Kes paneb lambi ämbri või voodi alla?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „Ei, lamp pannakse üles lambijalale.
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.
Kõik, mis on varjatud, tuleb ilmsiks ja kõik, mis on salajas, saab avalikuks.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
Kui teil on kõrvad kuulmiseks, siis kuulake, mida ma räägin!
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.
Pange tähele seda, mida te kuulete, “ütles ta neile, „sest teile antakse vastavalt sellele, kui palju tahate vastu võtta, mõõt mõõdu eest.
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."
Neile, kel juba on arusaamine, antakse rohkem, kuid neilt, kes ei taha teada, võetakse ära seegi vähene arusaamine, mis neil on.
26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
Jumala riik on nagu mees, kes külvab põllule seemet, “ütles Jeesus.
27 and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
„Ta läheb magama ja tõuseb varakult üles ja nii iga päev, kuid ta ei tea, kuidas seeme idaneb ja tärkab.
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Maa annab saaki iseenesest. Kõigepealt tuleb välja oras, seejärel viljapea ja siis küpse viljaga pea.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
Kui vili on küps, koristab põllumees selle sirbiga, sest saak on valmis.
30 And he said, "To what will we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
Millega võrrelda Jumala riiki? Missugust näidet kasutada?“küsis ta.
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,
„See on nagu sinepiseeme − kõige pisem seeme.
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."
Aga kui see maha külvata, siis kasvab sellest taim, mis on suurem kui teised taimed. Selle oksad on piisavalt suured, nii et linnud saavad seal varjus olla.“
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Jeesus kasutas rahvale kõneledes palju selliseid näitlikke lugusid, et nad mõistaksid võimalikult hästi.
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
Õigupoolest kasutas ta avalikult rääkides üksnes jutustusi, kuid omaette olles selgitas ta oma jüngritele kõike.
35 And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
Samal päeval hiljem − õhtul − ütles ta oma jüngritele: „Lähme üle mere teisele poole.“
36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Jätnud rahvahulga maha, läksid jüngrid koos Jeesusega paati. Nende juures oli veel teisigi paate.
37 And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Peagi hakkas möllama kohutav torm, lained paiskusid vastu paati ja lõid vett sisse.
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?"
Jeesus magas ahtris, pea padjale toetatud. Jüngrid äratasid ta kisendades: „Õpetaja, kas sa ei hooli sellest, et me oleme uppumas?“
39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Jeesus ärkas. Ta käskis tuulel vaibuda ja ütles lainetele: „Rahunege! Ärge möllake!“Tuul vaibus ja vesi jäi täiesti tüüneks.
40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
„Miks te nii väga kohkusite? Kas te ei ole õppinud mind usaldama?“küsis ta neilt.
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Nad olid jahmunud ja ehmunud. Nad küsisid üksteiselt: „Kes ta ometi on? Isegi tuul ja lained kuuletuvad talle!“
