< 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.
Hape natanga kuruta kumbali yewate. Mi buungi bwachisi nibwakungana kumuzibuluka, linu nechila chikepe mwiwate, ni kwikala hansi. Chisi chonse chibena kumbali yewate hamutunda.
2 And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
Mi chabaruta zintu zingi muunguli, mi nati kubali muntuto yakwe,
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
“Mutekeleze, mulimi abayendi kukubyala imbuto yakwe.
4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
Choya bubyala, imwi imbuto niyawila munzila, imi zizuni nizeza kuitotola.
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.
Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu lyamabwe, muisena ibabi ni ibu lingi. Hohwaho bulyo chiya mena, mukuti kena ibena ibu liya hansi.
6 And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Kono izuba haliñatula, chizahiswa, mi chebaka lyakuti kanazibena muhisi, ziba zumi.
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Imwi imbuto niyawila muzisamu zamiiya. Zisamu zamiiya nizakula ni kuzipuputiza, mi kana zibabiki nanga buheke.
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."
Imwi imbuto niyawila mwibu ilotu ni kubika buheke muzaabukula ni zabuekeza, mi zimwi nizaleta chakuminihanya makumi otatwe kubungi, imi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda.”
9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
Mi chati, “Yese wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Jesus habena yeyena, babena hafuhi naye ni bena ikumi ni bobele babamubuzi kuamana ni nguli.
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,
Chati kubali, “Kwenu kuhelwe ikunutu yomubuso wa Ireeza. Kono kubeena hanze zonse zina munguli,
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.'"
Kokuti habalola, ee balola, kono kababoni, ni kuti habazuwa, ee bazuwa, kono kabazuwisisi, kamba hamwi pona chibasanduka mi Ireeza pona chobakwatila.”
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
Mi chati kubali, “Kamuzuwisisi iyi inguli? Mumuzuwisise bule inguli zonse zimwi?
14 The farmer sows the word.
Mulimi yobyala imbuto njeye yobyala iinzwi.
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.
Bamwi njezina ziwila kumbali yamugwagwa, mulibabyalwa liinzwi. Mi habalizuwa, hahobulyo Satani ulizwisa mi uhinda liinzwi liba byalwa mubali.
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.
Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa hebu lyamabwe, ili abo, habazuwa liinzwi, hahobulyo balitambula chakusaanga.
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.
Mi kabena muhisi mubali beene, kono balikozakoza chenakozana. Linu bukabo ni kunyandiswa kwiza chebaka lyaliizwi, hahobulyo bachunchula.
18 And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
Mi bamwi njabo babyalwa mukati kamiiya. Bazuwa liinzwi,
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)
kono babilela ni zenkanda, kuchengwa chifumu, ni ntakazo zazintu zimwi zinjila mo ni kwihaya liinzwi, mi liba lisabiiki zibikantu. (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."
Linu kwina abo bababyalwa mwibu ilotu. Bazuwa liinzwi ni kulitambula ni kubika zihantu: zimwi makumi otatwe, mi zimwi makumi amana iyanza ni kumi, mi zimwi mwanda”.
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?
Jesu nati kubali, “Muleta ilambi munzubo ni kulibika mwikonde yechitanda, kamba mwikonde lyabulo? Mulileta mukati ni kulitula hachitulilo chelambi.
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.
Mukuti kakwina chiuungilwa chiseti ni chizibahazwe, mi kakwina inkunutu yiseti niibe henkanza.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
Heba zumwi wina matwi akuzuwa, mumusiye azuwe!”
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.
Nati kubali, “Mutwalize kuchi muzuwa, intikanyezo imulikanisa, yete nimulikanyezwe chayo, mi muiwelwe kwenu.
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."
Mukuti yense wina, kwali kakuwelwa ni kuhita, mi yense yasena, kwali mukuhindililwe ni zakwete.”
26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
Mi nichati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza uswana sina muntu yobyala imbuto hansi.
27 and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
Ulala masiku ni kubuka musihali, mi imbuto imena ni kukula, nanga kezibite kuti mbobule.
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Ibu libika buheke ilyo liine: intanzi ituunga, linu chikunku, linu kwiza buheke bubuzwile kuchikunku.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
Mi buheke habubuzwa hahobulyo utumina ijekisi hanze, mukuti inkutulo chiyasika”.
30 And he said, "To what will we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
Mi nati, “Mubuso wa Ireeza tuwola kuubambanya ni chi, kamba inguli inzi ituwola tendisa kukuutoloka?
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,
Ukola sina imbuto yamasitate iti, chiibyalitwe, nji iha nikuhita imbuto yahebu.
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."
Mihe, chiibyalitwe, ikula ni kuba bukando kuzamba zonse zimenantu zoluwa, mi itenda mitavi mikando, kokuti zizuni zewulu ziwola kuchita zizumbo mumuzunde wayo.”
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
Chenguli zingi ziswana nezi nawamba liinzwi kubali, chabuungi kakuya kamubawolela kuzuwisisa,
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
imi kanaabawambi kubali nikusena inguli. Kono habali yeyena, abatoloki zintu zonse kubarutwana bakwe.
35 And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
Mwelyo izuba, hakuba chitengu, nati kubali, “Tulutile mulimwi ishilya.”
36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Linu nibasiya chisi, kuhinda ni Jesu, kakuti chabena kale muchikepe. Zimwi zikepe nazo zibena naye.
37 And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
Mi ihuho likalihite ikando chilyabuka mi masuunda abali kwi njila muchikepe mukuti chikepe chichibezwile.
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?"
Kono Jesu iyemwine abeena muluheho lwachikepe, nalele hamushamo. Chibamubusa, nibacho, “Muruti, kobileli nihatusaka kufwa?”
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.
Mi, haabuuswa, na kalimela luhuho ni kucho kwiwate, “Inkozo, tukumane.” Mi ihuho nilya zimana, mi kubena kutontola kukando.
40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Mi nati kubali, “Chinzi hamutiite? Kamwini kuba ni intumelo?”
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Babezuli kutiya kukando mi ni bawamba zumwi ku zumwi, “Linu njeni uzu, mukuti nanga ihuho ni wate zimuzuwa?”
