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.
anantaraM sa samudrataTe punarupadeShTuM prArebhe, tatastatra bahujanAnAM samAgamAt sa sAgaropari naukAmAruhya samupaviShTaH; sarvve lokAH samudrakUle tasthuH|
2 And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
tadA sa dR^iShTAntakathAbhi rbahUpadiShTavAn upadishaMshcha kathitavAn,
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.

4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

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.

6 And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

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."

9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
atha sa tAnavadat yasya shrotuM karNau staH sa shR^iNotu|
10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
tadanantaraM nirjanasamaye tatsa Ngino dvAdashashiShyAshcha taM taddR^iShTAntavAkyasyArthaM paprachChuH|
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,
tadA sa tAnuditavAn IshvararAjyasya nigUDhavAkyaM boddhuM yuShmAkamadhikAro. asti;
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.'"
kintu ye vahirbhUtAH "te pashyantaH pashyanti kintu na jAnanti, shR^iNvantaH shR^iNvanti kintu na budhyante, chettai rmanaHsu kadApi parivarttiteShu teShAM pApAnyamochayiShyanta," atohetostAn prati dR^iShTAntaireva tAni mayA kathitAni|
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all of the parables?
atha sa kathitavAn yUyaM kimetad dR^iShTAntavAkyaM na budhyadhve? tarhi kathaM sarvvAn dR^iShTAntAna bhotsyadhve?
14 The farmer sows the word.
bIjavaptA vAkyarUpANi bIjAni vapati;
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.
tatra ye ye lokA vAkyaM shR^iNvanti, kintu shrutamAtrAt shaitAn shIghramAgatya teShAM manaHsUptAni tAni vAkyarUpANi bIjAnyapanayati taeva uptabIjamArgapArshvesvarUpAH|
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.
ye janA vAkyaM shrutvA sahasA paramAnandena gR^ihlanti, kintu hR^idi sthairyyAbhAvAt ki nchit kAlamAtraM tiShThanti tatpashchAt tadvAkyahetoH
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.

18 And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,

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)
taeva uptabIjasakaNTakabhUmisvarUpAH|
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."

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?
tadA so. aparamapi kathitavAn kopi jano dIpAdhAraM parityajya droNasyAdhaH khaTvAyA adhe vA sthApayituM dIpamAnayati kiM?
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.

23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
yasya shrotuM karNau staH sa shR^iNotu|
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.
aparamapi kathitavAn yUyaM yad yad vAkyaM shR^iNutha tatra sAvadhAnA bhavata, yato yUyaM yena parimANena parimAtha tenaiva parimANena yuShmadarthamapi parimAsyate; shrotAro yUyaM yuShmabhyamadhikaM dAsyate|
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."

26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
anantaraM sa kathitavAn eko lokaH kShetre bIjAnyuptvA
27 and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
jAgaraNanidrAbhyAM divAnishaM gamayati, parantu tadvIjaM tasyAj nAtarUpeNA Nkurayati varddhate cha;
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."

30 And he said, "To what will we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
punaH so. akathayad IshvararAjyaM kena samaM? kena vastunA saha vA tadupamAsyAmi?
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,
tat sarShapaikena tulyaM yato mR^idi vapanakAle sarShapabIjaM sarvvapR^ithivIsthabIjAt kShudraM
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."

33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
itthaM teShAM bodhAnurUpaM so. anekadR^iShTAntaistAnupadiShTavAn,
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
dR^iShTAntaM vinA kAmapi kathAM tebhyo na kathitavAn pashchAn nirjane sa shiShyAn sarvvadR^iShTAntArthaM bodhitavAn|
35 And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."
taddinasya sandhyAyAM sa tebhyo. akathayad AgachChata vayaM pAraM yAma|
36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
tadA te lokAn visR^ijya tamavilambaM gR^ihItvA naukayA pratasthire; aparA api nAvastayA saha sthitAH|
37 And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.
tataH paraM mahAjha nbhshagamAt nau rdolAyamAnA tara NgeNa jalaiH pUrNAbhavachcha|
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?"
tadA sa naukAchashchAdbhAge upadhAne shiro nidhAya nidrita AsIt tataste taM jAgarayitvA jagaduH, he prabho, asmAkaM prANA yAnti kimatra bhavatashchintA nAsti?
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.
tadA sa utthAya vAyuM tarjitavAn samudra nchoktavAn shAntaH susthirashcha bhava; tato vAyau nivR^itte. abdhirnistara NgobhUt|
40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
tadA sa tAnuvAcha yUyaM kuta etAdR^iksha NkAkulA bhavata? kiM vo vishvAso nAsti?
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
