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.
anantaraM sa samudrataTe punarupadeSTuM prArebhe, tatastatra bahujanAnAM samAgamAt sa sAgaropari naukAmAruhya samupaviSTaH; sarvve lokAH samudrakUle tasthuH|
2 And then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
tadA sa dRSTAntakathAbhi rbahUpadiSTavAn upadizaMzca kathitavAn,
3 "Listen. Look, the sower who went out to sow.
avadhAnaM kuruta, eko bIjavaptA bIjAni vaptuM gataH;
4 And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.
vapanakAle kiyanti bIjAni mArgapAzve patitAni, tata AkAzIyapakSiNa etya tAni cakhAduH|
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.
kiyanti bIjAni svalpamRttikAvatpASANabhUmau patitAni tAni mRdolpatvAt zIghramaGkuritAni;
6 And when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
kintUdite sUryye dagdhAni tathA mUlAno nAdhogatatvAt zuSkANi ca|
7 And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
kiyanti bIjAni kaNTakivanamadhye patitAni tataH kaNTakAni saMvRdvya tAni jagrasustAni na ca phalitAni|
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."
tathA kiyanti bIjAnyuttamabhUmau patitAni tAni saMvRdvya phalAnyutpAditAni kiyanti bIjAni triMzadguNAni kiyanti SaSTiguNAni kiyanti zataguNAni phalAni phalitavanti|
9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
atha sa tAnavadat yasya zrotuM karNau staH sa zRNotu|
10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
tadanantaraM nirjanasamaye tatsaGgino dvAdazaziSyAzca taM taddRSTAntavAkyasyArthaM papracchuH|
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 IzvararAjyasya nigUDhavAkyaM boddhuM yuSmAkamadhikAro'sti;
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 pazyantaH pazyanti kintu na jAnanti, zRNvantaH zRNvanti kintu na budhyante, cettai rmanaHsu kadApi parivarttiteSu teSAM pApAnyamocayiSyanta," atohetostAn prati dRSTAntaireva 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 dRSTAntavAkyaM na budhyadhve? tarhi kathaM sarvvAn dRSTAntAna 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 zRNvanti, kintu zrutamAtrAt zaitAn zIghramAgatya teSAM manaHsUptAni tAni vAkyarUpANi bIjAnyapanayati taeva uptabIjamArgapArzvesvarUpAH|
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 zrutvA sahasA paramAnandena gRhlanti, kintu hRdi sthairyyAbhAvAt kiJcit kAlamAtraM tiSThanti tatpazcAt 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.
kutracit kleze upadrave vA samupasthite tadaiva vighnaM prApnuvanti taeva uptabIjapASANabhUmisvarUpAH|
18 And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
ye janAH kathAM zRNvanti kintu sAMsArikI cintA dhanabhrAnti rviSayalobhazca ete sarvve upasthAya tAM kathAM grasanti tataH mA viphalA bhavati (aiōn g165)
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."
ye janA vAkyaM zrutvA gRhlanti teSAM kasya vA triMzadguNAni kasya vA SaSTiguNAni kasya vA zataguNAni phalAni bhavanti taeva uptabIjorvvarabhUmisvarUpAH|
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'paramapi 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.
atoheto ryanna prakAzayiSyate tAdRg lukkAyitaM kimapi vastu nAsti; yad vyaktaM na bhaviSyati tAdRzaM guptaM kimapi vastu nAsti|
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
yasya zrotuM karNau staH sa zRNotu|
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 zRNutha tatra sAvadhAnA bhavata, yato yUyaM yena parimANena parimAtha tenaiva parimANena yuSmadarthamapi parimAsyate; zrotAro yUyaM yuSmabhyamadhikaM 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."
yasyAzraye varddhate tasmai aparamapi dAsyate, kintu yasyAzraye na varddhate tasya yat kiJcidasti tadapi tasmAn neSyate|
26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the earth,
anantaraM sa kathitavAn eko lokaH kSetre bIjAnyuptvA
27 and he sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs up and grows; he doesn't know how.
jAgaraNanidrAbhyAM divAnizaM gamayati, parantu tadvIjaM tasyAjJAtarUpeNAGkurayati varddhate ca;
28 The earth bears fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
yatohetoH prathamataH patrANi tataH paraM kaNizAni tatpazcAt kaNizapUrNAni zasyAni bhUmiH svayamutpAdayati;
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
kintu phaleSu pakkeSu zasyacchedanakAlaM jJAtvA sa tatkSaNaM zasyAni chinatti, anena tulyamIzvararAjyaM|
30 And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?
punaH so'kathayad IzvararAjyaM 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 sarSapaikena tulyaM yato mRdi vapanakAle sarSapabIjaM sarvvapRthivIsthabIjAt kSudraM
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."
kintu vapanAt param aGkurayitvA sarvvazAkAd bRhad bhavati, tasya bRhatyaH zAkhAzca jAyante tatastacchAyAM pakSiNa Azrayante|
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
itthaM teSAM bodhAnurUpaM so'nekadRSTAntaistAnupadiSTavAn,
34 And he did not speak to them without a parable; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
dRSTAntaM vinA kAmapi kathAM tebhyo na kathitavAn pazcAn nirjane sa ziSyAn sarvvadRSTAntArthaM 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'kathayad Agacchata 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 visRjya tamavilambaM gRhItvA 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 mahAjhaJbhzagamAt nau rdolAyamAnA taraGgeNa jalaiH pUrNAbhavacca|
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 naukAcazcAdbhAge upadhAne ziro nidhAya nidrita AsIt tataste taM jAgarayitvA jagaduH, he prabho, asmAkaM prANA yAnti kimatra bhavatazcintA nAsti?
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.
tadA sa utthAya vAyuM tarjitavAn samudraJcoktavAn zAntaH susthirazca bhava; tato vAyau nivRtte'bdhirnistaraGgobhUt|
40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
tadA sa tAnuvAca yUyaM kuta etAdRkzaGkAkulA bhavata? kiM vo vizvAso nAsti?
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?"
