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.
Nake Jesũ akĩambĩrĩria kũrutana o rĩngĩ arĩ kũu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria. Na rĩrĩ, gĩkundi kĩa andũ kĩrĩa kĩonganĩte gĩkamũrigiicĩria kĩarĩ kĩnene nginya gĩgĩtũma atoonye gatarũ-inĩ, agĩikara thĩinĩ wako kũu iria-inĩ; nao andũ acio angĩ othe magĩikara hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
2 And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Na akĩmaruta maũndũ maingĩ na ngerekano, na akĩrutana akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
“Ta thikĩrĩriai! Mũrĩmi ũmwe nĩoimagarire akahure mbeũ ciake.
4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Na rĩrĩa aahuraga mbeũ icio, imwe ikĩgũa mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra, nacio nyoni igĩũka igĩcirĩa.
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.
Iria ingĩ ikĩgũa rũnyanjara-inĩ kũrĩa gũtaarĩ na tĩĩri mũingĩ. Nacio ikĩmera narua tondũ tĩĩri ndwarĩ mũriku.
6 And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
No rĩrĩa riũa rĩaarire rĩgĩcina mĩmera ĩyo, nayo ĩkĩũma tondũ ndĩarĩ na mĩri.
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mbeũ iria ingĩ ikĩgũa mĩigua-inĩ, nayo mĩigua ĩgĩkũra, ĩgĩthararia mbeũ icio ikĩaga gũciara.
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."
Ingĩ nacio ikĩgũa tĩĩri-inĩ mũnoru. Ikĩmera, igĩkũra na igĩciara maciaro, imwe ikiumia maita mĩrongo ĩtatũ, ingĩ maita mĩrongo ĩtandatũ, o na ingĩ maita igana.”
9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
Jesũ agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue.”
10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Na rĩrĩa aarĩ wiki, arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, o na arĩa angĩ maarĩ hamwe nake, makĩmũũria ũhoro wa ngerekano icio.
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,
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩmũheetwo ũmenyo wa kũmenya hitho cia ũthamaki wa Ngai. No arĩa marĩ na kũu nja maaragĩrio maũndũ mothe na ngerekano
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.'"
nĩgeetha, “‘matũũre maroraga no makaaga kuona, na matũũre maiguaga na matimenye ũndũ; nĩguo hihi matikae kũgarũrũka marekerwo mehia mao!’”
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
Ningĩ Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtanataũkĩrwo nĩ ngerekano ĩyo? Mũngĩkĩmenya atĩa ngerekano iria ingĩ?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Mũrĩmi ahuraga kiugo kĩa Ngai.
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.
Andũ amwe matariĩ ta mbeũ iria ciagũire njĩra-inĩ harĩa ũhoro ũhuragwo. Acio nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro, na maarĩkia kũigua-rĩ, Shaitani agooka akeheria ũhoro ũcio wahaandwo thĩinĩ wao.
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.
Angĩ nao matariĩ ta mbeũ iria ciagũire rũnyanjara-inĩ. Acio nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro na o rĩmwe makawamũkĩra na gĩkeno.
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.
No tondũ matirĩ na mĩri-rĩ, maikaraga o kahinda kanini. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa thĩĩna woka kana maanyariirwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wa Ngai, magũũaga o narua.
18 And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
Angĩ nao matariĩ ta mbeũ iria ciagũire mĩigua-inĩ. Acio nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro,
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)
no mĩhangʼo ya maũndũ ma mũtũũrĩre ũyũ, na kũheenererio nĩ ũtonga, na merirĩria ma maũndũ mangĩ, magathararia ũhoro ũcio, magatũma wage maciaro. (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."
Angĩ matariĩ ta mbeũ iria ciagũire tĩĩri-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru. Acio nĩ arĩa maiguaga ũhoro, makawĩtĩkĩra, na magaciara maciaro, amwe maita mĩrongo ĩtatũ, na angĩ maita mĩrongo ĩtandatũ, o na angĩ maita igana ma kĩrĩa kĩahaandirwo.”
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?
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “No anga tawa wakagio ũgacooka ũgakunĩkĩrio na irebe, kana ũkaigwo rungu rwa ũrĩrĩ? Handũ ha ũguo githĩ ndũigagĩrĩrwo handũ igũrũ?
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.
Nĩgũkorwo kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ hitho-inĩ nĩgĩkaguũrio, nakĩo kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩhithĩtwo nĩgĩkareehwo ũtheri-inĩ.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
Akorwo mũndũ arĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue.”
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.
Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Menyagĩrĩrai wega ũrĩa mũiguaga. Gĩthimi kĩrĩa mũthimanagĩra nakĩo, no kĩo mũrĩthimagĩrwo nakĩo, na nĩmũrĩkĩragĩrĩrio.
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."
Ũrĩa wothe wĩ na indo nĩakongererwo nyingĩ; na ũrĩa wothe ũtarĩ nĩagatuunywo o na kĩrĩa arĩ nakĩo.”
26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
Jesũ agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wa Ngai ũtariĩ ta mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga mbeũ tĩĩri-inĩ.
27 and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
Akomaga ũtukũ na agokĩra mũthenya, nacio mbeũ ikamera na igakũra, nowe ndamenyaga ũrĩa ikũraga.
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Tĩĩri guo mwene nĩguo ũtũmaga iciare. Ciambaga kũruta nguha igacooka ikaruta igira, na thuutha ũcio igira thĩinĩ hakagĩa na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa njiganu.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
Na maciaro macio maarĩkia kũũma, mũrĩmi ũcio akoya rũhiũ rwa igetha, akagetha tondũ hĩndĩ ya magetha nĩ yakinya.”
30 And he said, "To what will we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũngĩhaanania ũthamaki wa Ngai na kĩ? Kana nĩ ngerekano ĩrĩkũ tũngĩheana ũhoro waguo nayo?
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,
Ũhaana ta mbeũ ya karatarĩ, arĩ yo mbeũ ĩrĩa nini mũno mũhaandaga tĩĩri-inĩ.
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."
No yahaandwo-rĩ, ĩkũraga ĩgatuĩka mũmera mũnene gũkĩra mĩmera ĩrĩa ĩngĩ yothe ya mũgũnda, na ũkagĩa na honge nene nginya nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ igooka igaaka itara na ikahurũka kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo.”
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Jesũ nĩamaheaga ũhoro na ngerekano ingĩ nyingĩ ta icio o ta ũrĩa mangĩahotire kũigua.
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
Gũtirĩ ũndũ aameeraga atekwaria na ngerekano. No rĩrĩa maarĩ na arutwo ake oiki, nĩamataragĩria maũndũ mothe.
35 And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
Na mũthenya o ũcio gwakinya hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũringei tũthiĩ mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ.”
36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Na maarĩkia gũtiga gĩkundi kĩa andũ na thuutha, makĩhaica gatarũ-inĩ o harĩa Jesũ aarĩ. Na nĩ kwarĩ na tũtarũ tũngĩ twatwaranire hamwe nake.
37 And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Na rĩrĩ, kũu iria-inĩ gũkĩgĩa na kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene, namo makũmbĩ ma maaĩ magĩtoonya gatarũ thĩinĩ, o nginya gakĩenda kũũrĩra.
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?"
Jesũ aarĩ toro akomeire muto mũthia-inĩ wa gatarũ. Nao arutwo makĩmũũkĩria makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, kaĩ wee ũtaramaka tũkĩũrĩra maaĩ-inĩ?”
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.
Nake Jesũ agĩũkĩra, agĩkaania rũhuho na akĩĩra makũmbĩ macio ma iria atĩrĩ, “Kira! Na ũhoorere!” Naruo rũhuho rũgĩtiga kũhurutana, gũkĩhoorera biũ.
40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Jesũ akĩũria arutwo ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũmake ũguo? O na rĩu mũtirĩ mũretĩkia?”
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Nao magĩĩtigĩra mũno na makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũndũ ũyũ akĩrĩ ũũ? Tondũ o na rũhuho na makũmbĩ ma iria nĩiramwathĩkĩra!”
